9
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:06.159
This is Tuscano from Toscano and Chang
and we are back with another episode.

10
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:10.760
And of course I can't do this
alone, as he always is every single

11
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.319
time we get together. He claims
that he is the original of the word

12
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:21.959
original in KFC. He also claims
that he has been to more nightclubs on

13
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.519
the Strip than Vince Neil himself.
Oh yes, here at Back to the

14
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.640
Eighties, we call him the Chang
Chang. How the heck are you?

15
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.640
I am all right? You sound
excited? Well, the reason I am

16
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:42.120
so excited and giddy, and maybe
I sound a bit younger, for I

17
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:49.719
am in my homeland, lost son, and I came down because well,

18
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.359
I couldn't find sasquatch where I've been
living. Lord knows, I've tried.

19
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.640
I came here because, you know, brother, my team has just won

20
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.920
the Super Bowl. Yeah, it's
classified as RAM Day. Yesterday down to

21
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.560
Los Angeles, where I spent the
entire morning with my brothers and sisters,

22
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:14.560
which we call Ramily. Did you
actually get to see them, yes,

23
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:20.479
my sister and I. I also
took my grandchildren and I made them represent

24
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.479
So my granddaughter was wearing my Eric
Dickerson jersey. I was wearing my Jack

25
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.159
Young Bud jersey. My grandson was
wearing my ram T shirt. And we

26
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:37.680
stood along the parade route right where
Exposition is at where they take that right

27
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:42.199
turn to get into the coliseum.
I saw all three buses of players.

28
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:46.879
Was that right where Pioneered Chickens at? Yes, we're Pioneered Chicken exactly what

29
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:52.560
you're saying. Yeah, it's not
Pioneered Chicken anymore. Ah, Yeah,

30
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.599
it's it's something else. And they
had some kind of crazy design painted on

31
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.800
the bucket that remember the bucket used
to spin a Yeah, well, the

32
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.280
bucket doesn't spin around anymore. I
guess that's just were pigeons mate or crap.

33
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.199
It brought back so many memories.
I was very emotional. I thought

34
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:12.240
of my dad the whole entire day, because my dad made me a Ram

35
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.240
fan the day I was born.
I went to my first game in the

36
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:21.479
seventy My dad and my godfather an
Oscar, both of them have passed on,

37
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.680
so it really meant a lot that
I would make the trip because I

38
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.599
felt that I had to. Well, the good thing is that you got

39
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.280
here in one piece. You got
to see another part of the family as

40
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.080
well. Probably a good day for
you man and my friend. Overwhelming and

41
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.639
emotional for me because it took me
back to attending so many parades during the

42
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.000
Showtime era with my dad, with
Magic Johnson, James Worthy, the Captain,

43
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:51.199
Kareem Adul Jabbar. It took me
right back into going to the Laker

44
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.840
parades with my brother in law's Dan
and Jerry. Jerry, my brother in

45
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:59.439
law passed away. We went to
every game and we went to every parade

46
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:04.520
during the Shack and the Kobe era, and then with Kobe Bryant passing two

47
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:10.159
years now, it was very emotional, and as you know, my birthday

48
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:14.199
passed, I became an age that
I really didn't think I would live to

49
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.319
see. Well, ninety seven is
a pretty high number, you know,

50
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:19.920
Oh it is, it is.
I'll tell you man. You know,

51
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.519
a few more years, i'll be
a hundred years old. So I'm hoping

52
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:27.240
by then i'll get an AARP cards. He's son of a monkeys, haven't

53
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.160
sent any one yet. Well,
listen, when we come back, this

54
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:31.199
is back to the eighties. When
we come back, we're gonna talk more

55
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.040
about that. And we've got a
question that we posed on our Facebook page

56
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:47.399
that very interesting and important. So
don't go away Friday Friday Party. If

57
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:57.360
you're ready, let's this is a
drink. Listen to the decade of Decadents.

58
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:06.959
Race here, start back to the
Welcome Back to the One and only

59
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:13.240
Back to the Eighties show hosted by
yours truly Tascano and Chang the Batman and

60
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.639
Robin of Broadcasting Taskano. Well,
we've got two things, and one of

61
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:21.519
them is to let you all know
that we're going to be restructuring the show.

62
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:25.319
It's still going to be an hour
long. We're going to have a

63
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:30.160
special segment every single week a special
guest that will talk to us about an

64
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:38.000
important topic that has maybe resulted in
in a serious consequence today from something that

65
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:39.839
we did back in the eighties.
Okay, so it's all going to be

66
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.000
eighties related, but it's going to
be helpful today as well. We really

67
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.439
encourage you guys to stay tuned.
It's going to be not only is it

68
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:47.600
still going to be a lot of
fun on the show. We're gonna be

69
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:53.399
talking about the plethora. What is
it? Plethora? Have you told me?

70
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:57.079
I have ath and I just would
like to know if you know what

71
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:02.959
is I would not like to think
that person tell someone and find out that

72
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:09.839
that person has no idea what it
means to have different things that the eighties

73
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:15.240
had to offer, but also some
of the issues that are affecting us today.

74
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.319
We want to be an all around
show, something that is gonna make

75
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.199
you guys laugh, but it's going
to help you as well and give you

76
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:25.879
some kind of hope as well.
All Right, so I want to give

77
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.759
a big shout out to everybody listening
throughout the world. Thank you guys for

78
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.000
making back to the eighties what it
is today. And that's the biggest the

79
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:35.399
best eighties podcast and radio show on
Earth. And I can't do it alone.

80
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:39.279
Of course, I've always got changed
by my side and broke this for

81
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.360
me to you, brother, man, I love you. This is we

82
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.639
can't do it without each other,
and I really appreciate you. Brother.

83
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.839
I feel the same, very exact
way. Bro. When me and you

84
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:53.279
met, it seems like uh,
ninety years ago. Seeing that I'm going

85
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:57.959
to be one hundred ninety one,
it seems like yesterday when we met at

86
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:02.560
well, let's give a little a
prop to a RB the Academy of Radio

87
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:09.399
Broadcasting located in Huntington Beach. You
two can get a career in broadcasting the

88
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:13.240
Academy of Radio and Television Broadcasting.
Yeah, that was good stuff. That's

89
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.720
where we met met. I'm excited
because the program has grown so much and

90
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.240
we've got so much to go still, and so it's a very exciting time

91
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.480
for us. This year is a
big year for Back to the Eighties,

92
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:27.680
and it's a big year for every
eighties fan. I guarantee you. We

93
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.519
have a special guest today, a
group of ladies who was in charge of

94
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:38.680
the Steve Perry Legacy fan page group
on Facebook, and they are trying to

95
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.519
get Steve Perry his very own satellite
radio channel, and a lot of people

96
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.959
around the world are trying to do
so as well. So stick around because

97
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.560
later on during the show, you're
going to get to hear everything related to

98
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.160
Steve Perry Legacy Group. We posted
a question on Facebook, and I'm going

99
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:58.959
to ask that you all think about
this question very carefully and treat it as

100
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.360
an exercise of your heart and mind
and of honesty. Be honest with yourself.

101
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.680
You don't have to answer it to
anybody but yourself. The question was,

102
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.759
if you had one chance, would
you go back to the beginning of

103
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:15.240
the nineteen eighties to do things all
over again, make different choices if your

104
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.800
now would be totally different. I
know a lot of people are gonna say

105
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.800
no because of the children, but
I want to leave that excuse out all

106
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.839
right. There is only an exercise
of honesty. This will be no judging

107
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.000
involved. And I want to talk
to you guys about what a lot of

108
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:35.679
people online wrote on this. I
thought chang Honestly, I thought everybody was

109
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.480
gonna start commenting and saying no,
I wouldn't change anything, and my children

110
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:46.639
first and stuff like that. But
Honestly, I was surprised because the common

111
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:52.200
answer is no questions, right,
And that's what we wanted when we posted

112
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.919
that, Bro. We wanted a
sheer honesty. You nailed it like a

113
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.240
like a hammer on the nail,
Bro. A lot of people are going

114
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:03.799
to give their politically correct answer,
or the answer they think is best,

115
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:09.639
because either their children or their spouse
or whoever else of importance in their life

116
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.840
is going to read it or sitting
near them when they type. It.

117
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.200
An examination of your own heart,
right, It's so, it's just you.

118
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.519
Nobody's going to be judging you.
Now. I'm going to read a

119
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.679
couple of the answers that I got
from people. One person said, there

120
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.200
are things I wished I had done, mistakes. I wish I could erase,

121
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:35.039
paid attention more to the people and
things that really matter. Music I

122
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.759
would appreciate it more, and concerts
I would have attended. I would have

123
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.279
loved to go back. Because another
person said, yes, I would have

124
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.720
appreciated it a little bit more.
Somebody said I had a hard time of

125
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.039
the eighties. I was abused.
I guess they had just a very,

126
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.960
very rough life. But they said, would I would go back and I

127
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:58.679
would earn my respect and I would
not stay in those toxic relationships like I

128
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.080
did. Oh, Now, that's
a person that was probably a little bit

129
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.039
older than both of us back in
the eighties for such I guess they were

130
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:11.759
always getting stuck in toxic relationships for
whatever the reason. So, now,

131
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.320
if you pose this question to us, believe it or not. Yeah,

132
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.279
we post these things, but these
questions also go to us. We've talked

133
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:22.360
about this many a time, just
you and me without a microphone on,

134
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.720
with no show. I would definitely
go back. A lot of people say

135
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:28.360
if I went back to the beginning, then I wouldn't know what I know

136
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.320
now and I'll still make the same
mistakes. What if you could make different

137
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.519
choices. See, we got to
where we are today in twenty twenty two

138
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.919
because of the choices we made back
then. So what have you made those

139
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.360
different choices? Where would you be? I've asked many times, and we've

140
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.919
talked about this change you and I. Would you have taken that fork in

141
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.559
the road when you came up to
that decision fork in the road and you

142
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.679
chose to go to the left,
would you go back and go to the

143
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.399
right. Would you have gone to
a different school. Would you have stayed

144
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:03.159
in school? Would you have bought
a house that you had the opportunity to

145
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.600
buy and you didn't, or would
you not have bought a house that you

146
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.759
did and you shouldn't have and the
same probably you might have lost by right

147
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.639
or all the economical crisis. And
let me tell you a few things that

148
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.360
some of my regrets, and I'm
not embarrassed to say these things. Um,

149
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.080
some of the things that I wish
I would have done and not done

150
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.039
back in the EDA. I wish
I would not have ditched school so much.

151
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.879
And that's to start as a team. I ditched so much school.

152
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.399
I was writing my own notes with
my own signature. Uh yeah. And

153
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.480
they had no idea. It wasn't
my parents signature, and they and I

154
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.799
told them that's that's me. If
they ever come to me and said you

155
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:43.240
forge your parents signature, I would
say, no, it's my name on

156
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.279
it, my parents name. So
that goes to show you how much I

157
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.879
ditched. That also goes to show
you how lame the staff. And you're

158
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:58.039
Centifa High, Centife High is.
It's it's funny because you tell me that

159
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.440
and I did the same things.
Yeah, a few times I signed my

160
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.200
own notes, you know, when
I was ditching. And I'll never forget

161
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.919
my mom was a school teacher in
the Montabello School district at the same time

162
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.519
that I was attending Montabello High School. Yeah, and I'll never forget.

163
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.679
I had ditched three periods and for
some reason, it was probably the drugs

164
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.559
and I that would be one thing
I definitely would have changed back in the

165
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.960
eighties. I went to class after
three periods and I gave them that note,

166
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.799
my tardy note or you know,
missing three classes, and I gave

167
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.399
it to the admin secretary. Well, little to be known that my mother

168
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.159
was making a trip to Monobello High
School. Oh nice, and she was

169
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:46.879
going to go see my concert.
There you go, and they had a

170
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:52.960
little chat. Mister Walker said,
oh, I hope Steve's medical appointment turned

171
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:54.320
out okay, And my mother went, what are you talking about? What

172
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.879
we have is a slip for missing
three classes as you went to the doctor.

173
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.840
So, of course that radbastard showed
my mom my letter, and my

174
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.440
mom quickly said, no, I
did not sign that, nor did his

175
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.960
wall and you got caught. I
was caught, and then I was grounded

176
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:16.200
that was. That was one thing
that my mom started doing once I got

177
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.240
older. Grounding. You're right right, you know what I mean. But

178
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.559
it didn't it weighed no fact.
Well, you were seventy one back then,

179
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:24.960
so it was about time for you
to stop being grounded. You can't

180
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.840
ground me. I need to go
to the senior setting. They're having HAMFORDAE.

181
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.600
Yeah. Yeah. Another another one
of the things that I wouldn't have

182
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.360
done. I left a country because
I wanted to to get my life in

183
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.679
check and get better in school,
and I went to South America. I

184
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:46.279
went to Argentina to supposedly go start
a career in soccer and going to a

185
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.679
better high school. I was back
four months later. Okay, hey didn't

186
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:52.679
last long. I was back four
months later. Ladies and gentlemen, Look,

187
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.679
we all have things that we regret
doing. But I can tell you

188
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.799
one thing that I would definitely have
done, and that is appreciate my parents

189
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:03.919
a lot more than what I than
what I did. I lost one of

190
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.480
them, you know, my dad. I come from a divorced family when

191
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:09.240
I was twelve, so I spent
a lot of time, believe it or

192
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.679
not, and I'm an only child. I spent a lot of time on

193
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.639
my own, a lot of time
my mom had to work, I stayed

194
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.519
at home, and my best friend
and his family kind of took over in

195
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.720
that way. I used to hang
around there every day. So there's a

196
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.279
lot of things I would have done. But the number one thing I guess

197
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.200
I would have appreciated my parents a
lot more. And it's a hard thing

198
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:33.120
to do when you're a child,
because you take things for granted. Everything's

199
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.120
given to you, so you don't
think about those things. But if I

200
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.120
could go back just a little bit
more wiser, I would have made those

201
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.679
right decisions, and it would have
you know, I would have still made

202
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.480
mistakes. The importance of this question, eighties fans is for us to kind

203
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.000
of look back and see where we're
at today, and we are making the

204
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:58.039
decision to either better or make our
future a lot worse than it was.

205
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:05.000
What would be the biggest change that
you would make back in the eighties that

206
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:11.279
you know of would have helped you
had you make that change today. I

207
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.559
had an opportunity to change high schools, and at that other high school,

208
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:22.120
it's where one of my cousins they
offered to take me into help me through

209
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.960
my high school years and graduate and
then eventually college and things like that,

210
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.159
and I believe it would have been
a different story. I believe it would

211
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:35.200
have been a much easier, perhaps
much easier part of my life than what

212
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.919
it is today. So that's probably
the number one thing. Would have went

213
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:43.120
to Alhambra High with my cousin Ralph, possibly have gone to a much better

214
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.200
school afterwards to get a better career, things like that. You know,

215
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.480
my wife's a teacher who always tells
everybody here at home, education is power.

216
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.919
You know. Rodney Dangerfield said it
in the movie Back to School.

217
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:58.120
You know, you can have everything, but if you don't have education,

218
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:03.799
you don't have anything. That's my
oldest sister has always been a big warrior

219
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:08.759
on education. She's been there for
my children, my grandchildren, who good

220
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:15.480
lord, they my grandchildren. That's
a whole another show entirely. We'll have

221
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.919
to dedicate an entire show to them. I will have to dedicate that show,

222
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.320
and maybe I'll get my sister to
speak. She's very intelligent. She's

223
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.720
I mean, she's miss school.
She's like a diction She's like Webster's Dictionary,

224
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.799
but Mexican style. Nice. So
she's a big advocate of school.

225
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.159
As a matter of fact, it
wasn't for her and my brother in law

226
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:38.960
during the eighties, I probably would
be sitting in prison, riding a motorcycle,

227
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:44.639
beating people up, or moving drugs
for the Mongols. So I was

228
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:48.120
very, very fortunate to have her, even though me and her clash a

229
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.919
lot, because we're so much alike. To have those two yeah, Because

230
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.480
like you, my parents divorced.
Alcohol was the culprit was. I had

231
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.320
to deal with stuff a lot on
my own. I had two older siblings,

232
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:04.000
both my sisters. My older sister
was married, my older sister was

233
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:11.000
doing her thing. So like you, I was alone a lot in the

234
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.039
eighties, and I did a lot
of bad, stupid things. And if

235
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:19.440
I could go back, I would
totally totally change. When we come back,

236
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.680
we're going to talk about the one
thing that I wish I would have

237
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.079
had a lot more of, even
more than what I had back in the

238
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:34.160
eighties. And also chang we'll be
right back when the lights go down in

239
00:17:37.559 --> 00:18:03.920
and the sun shine the bad I
want to be in my so in your

240
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:17.519
lie will my friend, I knowledge. I want to get back. You

241
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:38.000
mustn't battle. It's sad there's been
mine it down, you been out your

242
00:18:38.119 --> 00:19:06.559
chime, and the lights go down
in the cen and the sun shines on

243
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:52.880
the bed. I want to be
in my master time, the lights of

244
00:19:52.200 --> 00:20:23.839
God in the city and the sun
shine. Welcome back to back to the

245
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:29.000
eighties, hosted right here by yours
truly Toscano and changing to all our beautiful

246
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:33.359
listeners here at HiT's not at two
five. That was Journey with the epic

247
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.599
track lights and how many times does
that song come on and take us all

248
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:44.160
right back to the eighties with our
ugly clothing, everybody had big hair,

249
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:49.279
and everybody really just didn't care.
As a kid, growing up, we

250
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:53.319
had music galore, right we had. I mean, the eighties is the

251
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:56.759
soundtrack of our life. I would
have gone to more concerts. I would

252
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.839
have asked parents. I would have
asked my family, my friends, every

253
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.119
everybody I knew to save up and
to go to more concerts. I would

254
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:08.240
have definitely done that. I was
so involved with radio. I hadn't the

255
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:12.519
slightest idea of how much going to
an actual concert can change your life.

256
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.319
You know, going to a concert
is there's no comparison. So if you

257
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.519
if you've never been to a concert. I would encourage or lived. Yeah,

258
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:22.599
I would encourage you to scrounge up, save some pennies and save up

259
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.200
to go to a concert of some
artists or performer that you like. I

260
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.880
guarantee you're going to be different.
So that's one of the things that I

261
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:34.359
would definitely do different. Would you
change having an Ericastrada haircut back in the

262
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:38.720
eighties and how would that have changed
you now? It? Never? Eric

263
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:44.160
is true, never. But how
about you as far as music, how

264
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:47.599
much of a part of your life
was music? Because it was? It

265
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:49.119
was tremendous in all of us that
grew up in that era. Well for

266
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:55.920
the old chang here. Music has
always been my life growing up where I

267
00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:00.480
did with my parents. TV was
not really play except for your regular shows

268
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:07.880
back in the seventies or sixty minutes
Carol Burnett shows that gave you some insight

269
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:15.000
a lot of political crap going on
that I was brought up with. I

270
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:18.359
was. I was heavily brought into
the real works of society and politics by

271
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.759
my father, who was a drug
concert for guys and women in and out

272
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:27.960
of prison. He also was a
civil rights activist during the seventies, my

273
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:33.480
mom became a school teacher. Now
the one thing that they did have constantly.

274
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.680
We grew up with music and everything
from sixties rock, fifties rock,

275
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:45.759
jazz, blues, of course mariachi. But music has always been kind of

276
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:52.079
discs in my spine. As I've
grown up, music and radio was everything.

277
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:56.599
There was times that I felt alone
as a kid or even as a

278
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:00.359
team that I turned to radio,
and I turned to ninety three Cage j

279
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:07.759
of the Real Don Steele, Wolfman
Jack. I turned to KMT and kill

280
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:12.920
OS and k West later in the
later eighties, k and AC radio stations

281
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:18.079
and jocks and the music they played
got me through a lot of the hard

282
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.200
times in life and was an excellent
soundtrack to a lot of the great times

283
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.440
in my life. Now. The
one thing I know, if we can

284
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.799
go back into the eighties, the
one thing I would change would probably be

285
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:36.279
definitely. As soon as I graduated
from high school, I was up for

286
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:41.640
a scholarship to go to an Arizona
trade school for art. I had this

287
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:47.400
fancy for art. I reluctantly thought, Okay, I'll take a year off,

288
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:51.119
make some money working for my dad
and my uncle, buy myself a

289
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:53.839
nice four by truck, and then
I will go to school. Yeah,

290
00:23:53.920 --> 00:24:00.319
well those plans never ever did material. You know, I didn't go.

291
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:04.599
I stayed working. I had a
child, my very first child, in

292
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:10.440
nineteen eighty seven, But in nineteen
eighty five, in eighty three, when

293
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:12.640
I didn't make that decision, nineteen
eighty five came around. My best friend

294
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:17.119
was killed in a motorcycle accident.
I get a little emotional when I talked

295
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:21.400
about that. I was the very
last one to see this guy raining alive,

296
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:23.400
came to my house, he lived
up the street. I'm not gonna

297
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:26.400
lie to you. Anybody out there, please do not drink and drive.

298
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:30.519
I'm an advocate against that. I
lost my best friend to drinking and driving,

299
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:34.079
so it really touches home and it
really angers me to know that people

300
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:41.240
do that. But I did not
handle his passing in the most mature ways.

301
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:45.000
If I could go back to nineteen
eighty five, I would have probably

302
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.319
knocked a crap out of him,
stolen his key so he didn't get on

303
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.599
his motorcycle. God willing, I
could have done that, but it didn't.

304
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:57.079
I wish I would have handled his
death in a more positive way for

305
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:03.920
myself. Now you would think.
Things like that kind of tend to mold

306
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.079
people to do the right thing.
But in nineteen eighty five I became a

307
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:12.319
little bit more reckless. I dove
head first into cocaine. I dove farther

308
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:18.480
into marijuana. I dove farther into
the black light of life. I hung

309
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:22.599
around with the wrong crowd. I
was in love with fighting and stupidity.

310
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.480
So in nineteen eighty five, that's
one thing I would change if I could

311
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:33.079
go back to do something more positive, to realize that every day is a

312
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.559
blessing. And I didn't do that. And all in all, for the

313
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.359
things, the two things I just
mentioned, it did give me wisdom,

314
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.039
It did give me some backbone.
The other thing I would change. In

315
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:49.559
nineteen eighty seven, I became a
father. I just turned twenty one years

316
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:53.759
old. I was in Hollywood,
California. We talked about me and my

317
00:25:55.240 --> 00:26:00.279
head in Hollywood, and I was
at the Rainbow clowning around in me.

318
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:04.759
I had never done stand up comedy
before, although for some reason, I've

319
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:11.319
got this knack to be a funny
guy. And I was approached by an

320
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:15.240
agent to let him take my career
to another level. He offered me an

321
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:19.440
opportunity to start doing stand up.
Train me, send me to New York,

322
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:26.119
put me on the stand up road
in stand up out there with the

323
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:33.279
opportunity to try for Saturday Night Live. And this came upon it. Like

324
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:36.039
I say, in nineteen eighty seven, I had never done stand up comedy

325
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:41.200
anywhere. I was merely being me
at the Rainbow Bar, and that opportunity

326
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:42.880
came. I turned to the guy
and I told him, hey, man,

327
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:48.039
I greatly appreciate that, but you
know, let me think about it.

328
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:52.400
Went home, thought about it,
and I thought, I can't do

329
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.960
this. I have a child.
Later that year, I got custody of

330
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:00.759
my child. Soul custody was one
of very you who were able to obtain

331
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:06.720
custody of their children in the eighties. Me being a man, and I

332
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:08.039
had a call a gun and tell
him, hey, I greatly appreciate your

333
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:12.480
offer, but I have to deny
this. I just got custom of my

334
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:18.920
daughter. I have the razor,
and that's that's just the way it's got

335
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.519
to be. Well he was a
little thrown off by that and said,

336
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.400
well, you don't have family.
But as you know, bro, when

337
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.759
you grow up like we did,
especially in our culture and our race where

338
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:36.119
family is everything. You never skip
out on your responsibilities, he said,

339
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:41.160
I wish you all the best,
Steve. May God strike you with thunder

340
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:45.759
and lightning somewhere else in your life, and behold here, I am doing

341
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.960
the show with you. We have
been reaching nothing but success every time.

342
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.599
Ever since the first day we met
at RB and we took a mic together,

343
00:27:53.920 --> 00:28:00.000
we've been climbing this this ladder to
where we're at. So those would

344
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:03.200
be the first things I would change. I love my children, believe me,

345
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:06.680
you know that, bro. They
are everything that I am. I

346
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:10.240
could not live another day without my
children exactly. But if I had to

347
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:11.680
do it all over again, I
would change that. I would have either

348
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:17.240
taken that scholarship. I would have
either changed my life when my best friend

349
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:22.000
died, or I really probably would
have taken that responsibility of going out to

350
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:29.960
be an entertainer and maybe not procreating
so early when I was not mentally ready

351
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:34.680
to take on that responsibility. But
the Great Spirit above gave me everything I

352
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:38.519
needed to do to raise that child. So yeah, brother, those are

353
00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:41.880
some of the things that if I
definitely could go back and change, I

354
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:47.480
definitely would. I'm not going to
be giving you a cliche week answer,

355
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:49.720
because I'm afraid of what my wife, or my children, or any of

356
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:52.839
my friends would say to me or
think of me if they listen to this,

357
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.960
anybody that would hate me for this, I would only say one thing,

358
00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:03.079
kiss my ram button. We are
here to be true and for us

359
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:07.000
to help anybody out there, we
have to be true to ourselves. So

360
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.559
those are my true solves. Well, I think, I mean, that's

361
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:14.960
exactly right, man. And you
know, we're all books being written every

362
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:19.559
day by our own hand, and
sometimes we tend to write chapters that we

363
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:23.440
hate in our life, and sometimes, you know, depending on our age.

364
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:26.839
You know, I just turned fifty
a few days ago on the seventh,

365
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:30.359
and we're you know, I got
to thinking, and instead of being

366
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:36.920
sad, I actually feel really good
about myself because I get to write another

367
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:38.200
chapter. I first of all,
I made it, but I get to

368
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:41.480
write a new chapter in this book, and a new page. Every day

369
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.160
is a page, a new page
that we write. There's a lot of

370
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.440
chapters in my life, as there
isn't everybody else's that I really don't ever

371
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:52.799
want to read again. Yes,
that I really don't want to go back.

372
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:57.319
And you know, browse through and
bring up memories, unlike certain chapters

373
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:02.440
of my life ten years, specifically
from the eighties, right that we go

374
00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:07.400
back to that book, we open
up that whole ten year chapter, and

375
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:10.759
we love to read a lot of
the good stuff. But now you're you

376
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:14.759
made a really strong point that we
are we have a lot of stuff during

377
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:22.319
that period of time that paved the
way for us to either live with a

378
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:26.000
lot of joy with a lot of
success or the opposite, with a lot

379
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:32.640
of sadness, depression, with a
lot of regrets and with no success.

380
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:36.200
You know, I think it's important
that from now on, and this goes

381
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:40.759
to every eighties fan that is also
pondering and thinking about this same question,

382
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.640
is this is a new start.
If you had the ability to restart that

383
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.839
era, however old you were,
and just do things differently, would you

384
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:53.839
That's an important part in your book
personally, that we can rewrite so that

385
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:57.279
in ten years from now, in
twenty years from now, whatever amount of

386
00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:02.240
years you have left that you man, you can be glad you're reading this.

387
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:04.839
Oh Man, in twenty twenty,
I started, you know, the

388
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:11.039
year seemed crappy from twenty nineteen twenty
twenty was the crappiest year of all with

389
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:15.359
COVID for the whole world, twenty
twenty one is pretty much the same.

390
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:18.440
But twenty twenty two is going to
be different for me? How is it

391
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:21.559
going to be different? You have
your own pen, you have your own

392
00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:26.279
experiences. Write a great chapter,
write a great page every single day.

393
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:29.279
And if by any chance, you
know, because we're all human, we

394
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:33.000
screw up. If by any chance
tomorrow you wrote a nasty page in this

395
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.839
new chapter, you know what tomorrow
is a blink page. Make sure you

396
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:42.200
go out there and you write a
beautiful story of yourself, right because at

397
00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:47.039
the end of the day, that's
all you got. Reflection and regret.

398
00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:51.839
Sometimes we can get lost in both
and it'll throw our minds out of control

399
00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:56.160
and we lose and we lose touch
with who we are, what we're doing,

400
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.319
and what we're supposed to do.
Don't feel bad when you get caught

401
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:07.680
up on reflecting or regret, because
those are the two things that are going

402
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:14.279
to put you into the mode to
be positive, to remember that you can

403
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:19.200
take whatever you're going through now why
because you went through and you reflected on

404
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:23.720
your regrets. So it makes you
stronger, take it from the chain.

405
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:30.799
I am a poster child for depression. I am a poster child for regret.

406
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:35.160
But every day I am who I
am, stronger, bolder, and

407
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:39.680
more fearless than I've ever been because
of that reflection and that regret. We

408
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:45.519
have LA comedian Isaac Bright, and
I want you to go over to his

415
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:23.720

We'll be right back. This is
the one and only back to the

417
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:30.880
eighties. Get ready for some Steve
Perry talk. Hey there, I'm Isaac

418
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:35.599
Bright, the host and everything else
involved in The Brightness Podcast. I'm an

419
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:39.079
LA based comedian. I rant fetch. That's complain for you non Jews about

420
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:44.240
the insanity of living in Lala Land, dating, politics, hot button topics,

421
00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:46.319
jabs, prints, you name it. You might call me a conspiracy

422
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:51.400
theorist. I'd say I actually use
my brain. I guess on every episode

423
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:52.920
from all walks of life, like
an actor, at journalist, a holistic,

424

my cute terrier mixed? How's every

flip on the brightness and I'll give
you something to think and laugh about.

428
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:12.599
Trust me. This is what The
Spot a podcast where we read and talk

429
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:16.960
about paranormal erotica novels. I think
you mean paranormal romance novels. How about

430
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:22.840
some of both so you don't have
to Hey, guys, I think we

431
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:28.119
should do a paranormal erotica podcast.
I guess so I know how to read

432
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:34.760
why smut? Well? For me, paranormal erotica allows us to examine things

433
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:38.599
like power and sexuality, but sort
of outside of our current societal norms,

434
00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:43.840
and it allows me to kind of
explore the way I personally feel and reflect

435
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:47.199
on my own sexuality whilst reading these
kinds of books. That is a good

436
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:52.199
description, and because of sex toys, we rate these books based on our

437
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:55.960
own personal tastes, and then we
sum up the book with five words.

438
00:34:57.079 --> 00:35:00.159
You can find us online on Facebook
and Instagram, at what the Smutcast,

466
00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:08.599
we have Patricia Bloomer with us,
who basically started the legacy. Thank you,

467
00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:12.679
ladies for taking the time to be
on Back to the Eighties Radio.

468
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:16.159
It's exciting to have just a wonderful
group of gals, especially with what you

469
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:20.480
guys are trying to do. We're
glad to be here. Yep, glad

470
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:23.320
to be here. Thank you for
having us on a Oh, it's awesome.

471
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:29.000
So Patricia talked to us about the
Steve Perry Legacy group and what are

472
00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:31.519
you guys up to since the last
time we spoke to Karen into Da Vita

473
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:37.199
and I know you guys were trying
to get a petition signed through Eye Petitions

474
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:39.679
to get Steve Perry to get you
know, some type of a channel on

475
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:45.119
satellite radio exactly. We do have
a petition going for that. Um,

476
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:49.480
it's been going on for a while. Um, we've had people sign it.

477
00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:54.239
We've had people sending emails, send
in text messages, called the radio

478
00:37:54.320 --> 00:38:00.639
station, all kinds of things to
try to get what we believe is a

479
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:05.320
good radio station. If you look
on what they have on serious there's not

480
00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:12.119
a lot of classic rock on their
very few channels, So we think that

481
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:15.599
they deserve to have a channel with
the music that's from Steve Perry and all

482
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:20.679
the members pass and present of Journey. Do you guys know how many people

483
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:23.960
have signed the petition thus far?
Over? Maybe five? Yeah? And

484
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:29.480
what's the number you guys are hoping
to get before some some action can be

485
00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:35.199
taken by the satellite companies we're looking
to. Um, we've had to revise

486
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:39.440
some things and to look at our
goals. So we're looking at possibly about

487
00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:44.440
three thousand. Well, you guys
are almost there. Yeah, yeah,

488
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:46.800
we're almost there. What do you
have planned this year twenty twenty two?

489
00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:53.599
Well, I'll refer that to our
fearless leader, Miss Patricia Bloomer. Yeah,

490
00:38:53.679 --> 00:38:59.280
okay, UM, we've had a
lot of things going on and since

491
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:02.559
we started the group, we have
several teams. When DaVita and I started

492
00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:07.000
this group, UM, we started
it together. We both agreed that we

493
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:12.559
wouldn't go without the other one and
I wanted to do the group as run

494
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:16.320
it as a business. UM.
Anybody can post pictures or post videos.

495
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:21.239
I wanted to run it like a
business. We have a group logo,

496
00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:27.159
we have business cards, we have
address labels, we have teams with leaders

497
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:34.079
and projects and all kinds of things. So besides having the serious station UM,

498
00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:39.199
we are working on getting Steve nominated
to several things like the Songwriter Tall

499
00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:46.199
of Fame, the Kennedy Honors UM, the smiths Olian for an article written

500
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:51.039
on him. UM. We have
songs that are donated or that we have

501
00:39:51.679 --> 00:40:00.639
sent to UM, the Library of
Congress, and those just some of the

502
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:06.159
things that we're doing. We have
a Steve Perry Calendar that we make every

503
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:10.679
year and we sell that to the
members UM, which I'm going to send

504
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:15.000
you guys a copy of. Nice, Thank you very much. We do

505
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:21.800
various things. We have. We
have a report and recognition program. We

506
00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:28.360
have like a monthly Member Monthly they
get a certificate. We have a quarterly

507
00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:36.320
UM Award, we have an annual
award and they get prizes from Steve Perry's

508
00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:42.480
UM store. We also do things
on special occasions like Steve's birthday and and

509
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:50.000
and other milestones that we reach.
We always try to reward our members UM

510
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:52.480
by giving them presents and and things
like that, so we do a lot

511
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:58.159
of that stuff. We are planning
a trip to Hanford hopefully in June,

512
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:00.599
and that depends on the COVID last
year we had to cancel it, so

513
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:05.760
we didn't get to go there last
year. But we have a lot of

514
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:10.000
things that we are doing and trying
to promote Steve's legacy, hence the name

515
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:17.480
Steve Perry Legacy. Holy Open Arms. I need to get a fan page.

516
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:22.159
Has any have any of you reached
out to mister Perry to make him

517
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:28.159
aware of the movement you guys are
striking and moving on with Well. We

518
00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:34.280
are in contact with Jeff walk We've
visited him several times. He's the one

519
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:39.280
that designed the Traces album and everything
that I do, I let him know.

520
00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:44.679
If he chooses to let Steve know, then that's up to him.

521
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:46.920
But I would imagine that he probably
knows a lot of what we're doing.

522
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:52.480
What has the reception been like On
the other side, it's always great to

523
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:57.880
hear you know what people really think. Now it's very different what the fan

524
00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:00.760
may think to what somebody in the
in the corporation may think. Right,

525
00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:05.519
let's talk about it a little bit
about the fans. What's the excitement level

526
00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:10.400
so far? The reception As far
as the satellite radio, we haven't gotten

527
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:15.639
any response from them per se,
but a lot of the fans want it.

528
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:23.360
So we've gotten over twenty five hundred
requests for this station the fans want,

529
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:29.599
and we have reached out to serious
exam corporate board. But it could

530
00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:35.119
include, like Pat has said,
past and present members of the Journey,

531
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:39.920
which would include Jeff Scott Soto,
which would include our no with his solo

532
00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:46.280
albums, which would of course include
Neo Magic Fingers Sean, how about Greg

533
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:52.719
Rowley, Yes, There You Go
his his solo albums with and without Ringo

534
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:59.559
Star. They would also include Steve
Smith, who was also a virtuoso in

535
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:01.840
his own right. As far as
jazz drumming, I think a lot of

536
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:08.079
it is the fact that Steve has
a way of singing and writing that expresses

537
00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:13.360
the way that we feel that we
can't convey, and a lot of people

538
00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:16.719
listen to his songs and it expresses
the way that they feel. And one

539
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:21.800
thing that Claudette Connor does in our
group is on Tuesday, she takes a

540
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:27.519
song and she writes a long introspect
on that, on the lyrics and the

541
00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:30.920
notes that he uses and the way
he sings and stuff. But people are

542
00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:36.440
so touched by the way that the
emotion in his voice and the way that

543
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:39.599
he sings that they like. I
said, they expressed what we can't say

544
00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:45.360
a lot of times. Yes,
exactly when you asked about Fanship, we

545
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:52.519
have international fans, even a part
of us in legacy. It's just not

546
00:43:52.800 --> 00:44:00.519
United States. He has fans everywhere
internationally. People love him and they want

547
00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:06.360
this. You know, We've heard
them. We want this channel, and

548
00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:10.719
that's what we're doing as a group
a legacy is to keep this going,

549
00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:15.199
to get that channel so everyone can
enjoy it. It seems like you girls

550
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:22.039
need a radio show a podcast on
this godea. I mean you should about

551
00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:28.400
that. Yeah, yeah, uh
huh please. Um. It was myself

552
00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:31.800
and I'm sorry, I'm just gonna
jump in for half a second. Um,

553
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:37.840
myself and another member her she's a
professional singer. Her name is Jersey.

554
00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:42.480
She's out in Philippines, and we
did have what's like. It was

555
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:45.199
a podcast, but it was a
zoom kind of thing where we would post

556
00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:50.079
it on Facebook and it was her
and I. We would talk and review

557
00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:52.840
the songs on traces and other songs. So that's an idea. Well we

558
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:58.760
come back, We've got more with
the Lovely Ladies of the Steve Perry Legacy

559
00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:09.559
Group. We'll be right back commercials
dad music good now with zero commercials.

560
00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:15.000
Please help support us in your donation. Today we are going back today eighties.

561
00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:22.880
You are locked and loaded into back
to the eighties. We are sitting

562
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:28.719
and having a terrific I call it
a chang terrific conversation with the ladies of

563
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:34.320
Legacy, the Steve Perry movement to
get him a station, a place,

564
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:39.960
a home on the radio of Serious. Ladies. Welcome. We've been having

565
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:50.119
just his great conversation and I'm with
my partner. Not only could this capture

566
00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:54.920
a spot on Serious, but an
actual radio show. That is a brilliant

567
00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:59.800
concept. Now I've noticed we have
a couple more ladies here, Toscano.

568
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:04.719
We also have Claudette Connor. We
have Norma Ladies. I want to talk

569
00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:09.280
to you gals as well about the
whole Legacy group in your participation with everybody

570
00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:15.000
else. So Norma, go ahead
and let's start with you. I've been

571
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:20.199
a member of this fan page for
oh I think it's probably two and a

572
00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:27.119
half years, shortly after they started. I've always been a Journey Steve Perry

573
00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:37.199
fan since the beginning. And I
had seen on YouTube a video from Gary

574
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:47.119
Stuckey about this Facebook fan page that
we're trying to get a serious XM channel

575
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:52.199
and doing all this stuff. So
I looked into it, got in and

576
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:59.039
was participating, and they were talking
about putting that team together, and I

577
00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:06.559
talked to Vita and got on the
team with Karen and Laurie, and we've

578
00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:14.119
been working on this for two years
now and it's just been it's been a

579
00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:16.960
whirlwind and I enjoy it. Then, this is the only fan page that

580
00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:22.559
I am a member of. A
lot of people have other fan pages,

581
00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:27.159
but this is the only one.
And it's basically because of what we've all

582
00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:35.280
discussed the importance of getting Steve's and
journeys legacy out there for these new gents,

583
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:37.440
these new kids coming up, because
they need to hear this music.

584
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:40.519
They need to see what it is
and what it's about. What do you

585
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:45.480
do client with a group? Team
leader of the team's Perry's Dream Team,

586
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:51.840
and we have certain projects that we're
working on. Behalf of Steve. Now,

587
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:54.519
ladies, let's see if you concur
with me. I believe a lot

588
00:47:54.599 --> 00:48:05.719
of his music was underrated and under
the microscope and kind of forgotten about because

589
00:48:06.719 --> 00:48:12.559
it was judged not I don't think
on content or on merit. I think

590
00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:16.239
it was it was judged on style. They had a certain style, and

591
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:22.960
look back in the music business during
the times these albums were cut, so

592
00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:30.599
I don't think that the listeners or
radio stations, and even that some of

593
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:36.559
the corporations that produced the songs gave
it too much umph to be put out

594
00:48:36.599 --> 00:48:39.400
there. I think every there was
a bit of criteria that a lot of

595
00:48:39.519 --> 00:48:45.519
music had to meet. I agree. Um, back when I was younger,

596
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:47.320
it was kind of not cool to
listen to Journey. I mean,

597
00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:51.639
it's more like led Zeppelin, you
know. They wanted that fast, hard

598
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:57.880
rock, and the softer music wasn't
quite as popular. I don't think as

599
00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:01.000
some of the other stuff. And
I think that I think it took us

600
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:08.679
till we got older to actually appreciate
his voice, the technicality, the songwriting

601
00:49:08.840 --> 00:49:13.800
and things like that. At least
for me, in a way, kind

602
00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:21.119
of maturity took place. I thought
after the oncoming of MTV, music was

603
00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:27.719
put on a very heavy duty type
microscope, and if it didn't look the

604
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:31.280
way that everybody wanted the biology to
look, that it wasn't going to get

605
00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:35.239
played. All always say this,
and Mario would make fun of this.

606
00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:38.679
I believe that video did kill the
radio. You know what I mean?

607
00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:44.079
That's probably my age going out there
on a limb without me giving you my

608
00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:46.000
age. But I agree with you. I think the same way that you

609
00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:52.559
do on music. Some artists,
what I find funny, we fall back

610
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:58.079
in love with when we've matured.
And they didn't really make a lot of

611
00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:02.440
videos because Steve didn't like the idea
of having a video where you were forced

612
00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:06.440
to a certain image. He wanted
you to come up with your own image

613
00:50:06.559 --> 00:50:08.800
of how that song fell to you. Well, the one thing that Steve

614
00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:16.039
Perry had is that he could he
could do live really better than the albums.

615
00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:22.519
Their live performances worse, just spectacular, and nobody could beat that the

616
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:25.360
way that the sound was because they
just can't pull it off. How many

617
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:31.639
times have you seen a Journey or
Steve Perry? Never? Never, nothing,

618
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:37.239
We've been here, but yeah,
no, actually I have not seen

619
00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:43.719
them live either. I came of
age when when Steve joined the band.

620
00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:46.480
I just turned twenty one, and
that would have been the perfect time,

621
00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:52.480
but circumstances I never did get to
a concert. I wish I would have.

622
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:58.599
I kicked myself all the time.
But going back to what you were

623
00:50:58.679 --> 00:51:04.280
saying, if you think about it, there were groups in the seventies and

624
00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:09.800
something and some even into the eighties
that they had specific group members and they

625
00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:16.039
had a specific sound, and then
when that person left, the sound of

626
00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:23.440
the band totally changed. Yes,
yes, perfect example was Orio Speedwagon and

627
00:51:24.440 --> 00:51:29.519
Doobie Brothers and all those kinds,
and Journey was the same way. They

628
00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:36.239
were more heavier with Greg and they
became more middle of the road with Jonathan,

629
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:43.920
So yes, exactly. It's like
when I found out that Steve was

630
00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:49.119
putting out a new album in twenty
eighteen, it made me go back.

631
00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:53.559
So I went back on YouTube and
I looked up everything I could find and

632
00:51:53.719 --> 00:52:02.840
listening to old albums and CDs and
videos and re listen to everything, and

633
00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:07.760
it got me back into the group
again to where I should have been this

634
00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:12.039
whole time. But you know,
as you were saying, when people are

635
00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:15.800
gone, you forget about them.
Is there a Steve Perry album that has

636
00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:20.519
touched your life in any particular way? If there is, what's the name

637
00:52:20.519 --> 00:52:23.719
of the album and what's the tie
between you and that album? For me,

638
00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:34.000
I would say my favorite album was
raised on radio only because it had

639
00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:39.679
there's like three songs on there that
really At the time that it came out,

640
00:52:40.880 --> 00:52:46.119
I was with my now husband,
my boyfriend, like we met in

641
00:52:46.199 --> 00:52:52.440
eighty three, so that came out
in eighty six, and the songs on

642
00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:58.960
that album kind of really hit home
to me. We can't help it,

643
00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:01.599
Yeah, thank you, thank you. You knew what I was talking about.

644
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:09.079
Yes, a girl can't help it. That song to me really resonnated

645
00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:19.199
because before I met my husband,
I was in relationships that were just like

646
00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:24.000
that, where they were very small
relationships. They didn't really go anywhere,

647
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:29.639
but I had the feeling that it
was going to go somewhere, and so

648
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:37.039
that song really really hit me and
them I'll be all right without You.

649
00:53:37.159 --> 00:53:44.960
There was a time in the relationship
where I really thought we were going to

650
00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:53.119
break up and I had that particular
album on a cassette. I had it

651
00:53:53.199 --> 00:54:00.199
in my car and I was driving
home and this is obviously before CDs and

652
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:06.760
everything, and the song came on
and I'm driving and singing and crying.

653
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:10.639
As soon as it was over,
I had to hit the reverse thing to

654
00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:16.320
rewind it and can go back.
And that's not easy to do. While

655
00:54:16.360 --> 00:54:23.280
you're driving especially, Yeah, but
I was able to do it. But

656
00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:29.840
and it got me through. That
song got me through um. But yeah,

657
00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:34.840
it's just that album really spoke to
me, you know, more than

658
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:40.519
the other ones. Dude. Yeah, Steve was going through wasn't Neil going

659
00:54:40.559 --> 00:54:45.000
through one too? A divorce or
something. I think Neil was going through

660
00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:47.719
a divorce, and I think Steve
was going through a separation with his longtime

661
00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:54.840
girlfriend. Well sang open Arms too. Yeah. I like Infinity and I

662
00:54:54.920 --> 00:55:01.920
love um the song feeling that way. There's song about that song in any

663
00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:08.519
time. I those two I love
power, their power. Oh I just

664
00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:14.679
want to get up and move and
just there's so much emotion. Was such

665
00:55:14.679 --> 00:55:20.440
a wonderful combination the two Steve and
him I did in a way, it

666
00:55:20.519 --> 00:55:22.840
was kind of reminiscent of old Suntan. It gave you that spark, that

667
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:27.039
energy, that burst of music.
Yes, you know what I mean.

668
00:55:27.320 --> 00:55:31.320
Then the vocal was growl came out
and you're just like, oh man,

669
00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:37.039
you know I love that. Yeah. Though, that's truly two of the

670
00:55:37.079 --> 00:55:39.320
greatest songs I think off that album. I think in the Journey catalog,

671
00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:44.280
those would probably be my two favorites. Care. Yeah, mine too.

672
00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:49.719
Um. Mine would be for the
Love of Strange Medicine. Um that has

673
00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:53.880
that some of their Strange medicine myself. There's there's so many good songs.

674
00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:58.639
I love every song on that album. And it was more laid back.

675
00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:04.639
Um, you didn't have the Neil
with a guitar so loud. You had

676
00:56:05.079 --> 00:56:07.239
Lincoln Brewster who was just you know, he was excellent, and all the

677
00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:13.800
musicians were good. It was more
laid back and more personal and and it

678
00:56:13.840 --> 00:56:17.519
was just to me, it just
seemed more emotional and passionate. Okay,

679
00:56:17.880 --> 00:56:22.400
I'm like Claude Debt and the rest
of the ladies. Um, it's hard

680
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:28.400
for me to pick one, but
I'm there is a song that I did

681
00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:31.239
have to tell Steve what I met
him, um, when he did the

682
00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:37.320
breast cancer event in Rhode Island that
I was floored by. And it's a

683
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:43.199
sound It's a song on their only
soundtracker than they ever did. No,

684
00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:46.519
that's not true. No, they
it was a soundtrack album they did for

685
00:56:46.559 --> 00:56:51.079
a movie. That's right, it's
the only soundtrack album they ever did.

686
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:55.280
Um. It's called Sand Castles and
that was from that soundtrack album, Dream

687
00:56:55.280 --> 00:57:02.039
After Dream, And I told him
that it sounds a lot like Philadelphia International.

688
00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:10.519
It moves me so much. I
can't really describe it, but it

689
00:57:10.760 --> 00:57:17.239
sounds like when Steve would say a
landscape, and his vocals on there were

690
00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:24.280
very minimal and the orchestration was very
extremely lush. But at the same time

691
00:57:25.239 --> 00:57:31.199
comes Stark And the other one that
I like, that's Journey. The other

692
00:57:31.239 --> 00:57:40.599
one that I like from Steve and
the album that touched me interesting enough is

693
00:57:40.679 --> 00:57:45.159
Yes Traces, and there's one song
on there, not one, but there's

694
00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:49.639
several. I can't skip a song
on. That's the It's one of the

695
00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:54.760
few albums that I don't skip a
any song on. There's two songs on

696
00:57:54.800 --> 00:58:00.280
there, and the first one is
most of all, no matter how many

697
00:58:00.320 --> 00:58:02.440
times I have listened to it,
I will always cry, but not sad

698
00:58:02.519 --> 00:58:07.519
tears, happy tears. And the
other one is can We Be Something Again?

699
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:14.639
Where that man shouts in that song, and when I heard it,

700
00:58:14.679 --> 00:58:21.239
I testified. I said, Okay, I think I'm in the minority with

701
00:58:21.519 --> 00:58:29.519
regards the albums. I love Frontiers. I love Yes, much better album

702
00:58:29.559 --> 00:58:32.480
than Escape. Yeah. I love
Yeah. I think I prefer it to

703
00:58:32.639 --> 00:58:38.639
Escape. I think it's a five
superior album. It's it is especially I

704
00:58:38.719 --> 00:58:44.639
love Edge of the Blade, I
love Child Oh Man. I love that

705
00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:47.960
album, but that's the journey album. That the album I life by Steve

706
00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:52.519
himself, and I do like For
the Love of Strange Medicine. But I

707
00:58:52.599 --> 00:58:57.480
really really love Street Talk. I
think that it's eclectic. I mean,

708
00:58:57.559 --> 00:59:01.519
he experiments with different ledge you know, it's it's a nice mixture. I

709
00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:07.920
mean, he he really expressed himself
and he experimented with all the different strongles.

710
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:13.440
I'm hoping that you all will start
playing Running Alone. That's I think

711
00:59:13.800 --> 00:59:17.599
one of my favorite songs on that
album. I think it's it's really um,

712
00:59:17.639 --> 00:59:22.880
it's underestimated. I think that,
you know, people really need to

713
00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:27.320
listen to it again because there's so
such create great meaning behind it, and

714
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:31.880
it's truly an inspirational song when you
think about it. YE really listened to

715
00:59:31.920 --> 00:59:37.079
the words that he's saying. You
know, it's a beautiful album, gorgeous

716
00:59:37.119 --> 00:59:43.639
song. If you can give me
just one word what Journey with Steve Perry

717
00:59:43.679 --> 00:59:52.559
meant to you? Patricia um Passion, Karen heart Power, how about Norma?

718
00:59:52.840 --> 00:59:59.519
I was thinking emotional and least Claudette, So I think so yeah,

719
00:59:59.559 --> 01:00:01.719
before we let you girls go,
DaVita, how can people get in touch

720
01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:07.280
with either you or the group or
how can they sign the petition so that

721
01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:13.079
they can as well be included in
the getting Steve Perry on satellite radio.

722
01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:16.480
Okay, thank you so much for
that. I'll send you the link of

723
01:00:16.599 --> 01:00:21.880

would be a lot easier if they just

724
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:24.039
joined Steve Perry Legacy and then they
could just go right to it. And

725
01:00:24.119 --> 01:00:28.559

728
01:00:38.760 --> 01:00:43.639
going to be able to accommodate that. And I wanted to say before we

729
01:00:43.840 --> 01:00:50.280
end, this group or fan group
is more than just Steve Perry. It's

730
01:00:50.280 --> 01:00:57.760

friends and relationship. We have the same

731
01:00:57.920 --> 01:01:01.320
love for his music and you you
can't believe what it's done just for my

732
01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:07.320
own life, but these girls and
ladies are my best friends that I've never

733
01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:10.400
met them, you know, face
to face, and what a wonderful,

734
01:01:10.639 --> 01:01:15.840
loving part of you know, just
to be a part of legacy. It's

735
01:01:15.039 --> 01:01:19.719
unbelievable. Thank you very much,

747
01:06:06.199 --> 01:06:12.280
only is the crazy duo of Daskanno
and Cheng gonna be here every single show,

748
01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:15.400
and we are also going to have
our cheesy little sketches from back in

749
01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:18.840
the eighties, but We are also
going to be taking you on a serious

750
01:06:19.039 --> 01:06:25.360
note as well in a segment that
we call It's Not All About Laughs,

751
01:06:25.719 --> 01:06:30.320
And every time we have that segment, we're going to have a special guest

752
01:06:30.639 --> 01:06:36.320
that specializes in the topic that relates
to the eighties and how it has had

753
01:06:36.440 --> 01:06:42.599
a consequence on our life today.
Next Friday, we have a therapist coming

754
01:06:42.679 --> 01:06:46.840
on the show and she's going to
be talking with Taskano and chengg about anxiety

755
01:06:46.920 --> 01:06:51.480
and how we created things in the
eighties that we suffer for today. Thank

all of you for listening to k
Hits ninety two five, where we keep

766
01:07:28.079 --> 01:07:30.800
the eighties vibe alive, and remember
to listen to our other jocks. We

have Double R, we have Doctor
D. We're waiting on Benny and the

new proud papas. So hopefully he comes

him and show him the love and support

770
01:07:43.719 --> 01:07:47.199
that all new parents deserve. And
I want you all to remember to stay

771
01:07:47.280 --> 01:07:53.639
lifted and stay gifted. Don't let
anything bad cloud your mind. Stand up

772
01:07:53.719 --> 01:07:58.199
tall, stand up fiercely, stand
up for yourself, stand up for somebody

773
01:07:58.320 --> 01:08:01.199
that can't stand up for them else, and always stand for one thing.

774
01:08:01.760 --> 01:08:10.880
Unity creates prosperity. So adios Aria, astella vista, astelowego, sayanara adios,
