in check care with you. Thanks
for being with us on another Friday.

10
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.400
Today, we're not going to be
able to have a regular show as we

11
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:10.040
usually do every single Friday. Unfortunately, the Man of a Thousand Personalities and

12
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.840
my co host, has been called
to a secret mission and he's not going

13
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.760
to be with us for another week
or so. So let me take a

14
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.840
few moments of your time, if
you don't mind, and let me briefly

15
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.480
mention some of the things that are
on my mind. First of all,

16
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.560
I want to thank every single one
of you who takes the time every single

17
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.879
Friday to listen to our show from
every state here in the United States and

18
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.280
every country around the world. And
I wish I could say thank you in

19
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.000
every single language. All of you
who love the Eighties are the reason we

20
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.079
do this every single week, and
from the bottom of my heart, I

21
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.120
want to just say thank you to
all. I also want to let you

22
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.920
know that we did try doing the
music show through Spotify the last Friday of

23
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.799
December. However, we found out
that in order to listen to the complete

24
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.400
songs, you know, from beginning
to end, people had to subscribe to

25
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.640
the premium package for Spotify. We
decided not to ask you guys to do

26
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.239
that or we found that there was
really no point. But we did record

27
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.680
the show more like a test run, and it was okay. In reality,

28
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.919
it wasn't what I was looking for
to give to you, the eighties

29
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.879
fan. Now there is a possibility
that Back to the Eighties can start pure

30
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:25.240
Eighties music radio station and broadcast three
hours show every single Friday to start with

31
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:30.599
a lot of music for everyone.
Now, the idea would be to eventually

32
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.919
get back to the eighties seven days
a week, playing music and having plenty

33
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:40.240
of on air personalities. To take
you way way back in time and give

34
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.280
you that feel. Now. In
order for us to try to do that,

35
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.280
I would ask all of you to
let us know if you would like

36
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.879
us to do it. It's the
only way. So if this sounds like

37
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.840
something you'd like, please let us
know by sending us a direct message to

38
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.280

42
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:19.319
to the Eighties Radio. Now,

46
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.560
you guys to go in there and
give us a direct message if you want

47
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.280
back to the eighties to start playing
music like a regular radio station. You

48
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.919
see, we can do this because
we come from a radio background. Although

49
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.560
it would be a lot more complex, it is something that we can do

50
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.520
and it's a dream of mine.
To be able to go on air and

51
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.199
continue bringing the eighties to a homely
generation. Now, thanks to you,

52
00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:00.439
our Facebook page has grown to more
than seven thousand followers just the time that

53
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:05.360
we've been on Now we started the
show back in May. I believe we

54
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:11.360
started our Facebook page a little bit
before, like in the last few days

55
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:16.800
of April. So we've grown to
more than seven thousand followers and growing every

56
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:23.199
day. And our show is heard
in over fifty countries, so thank you

57
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:29.360
so much. We're heard through iHeartRadio, tune In Radio, Apple Podcasts,

58
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:34.199
Spotify, Pandora, Google Podcast,
Stitcher, and I know I'll forget to

59
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:39.360
mention the rest, but almost everywhere
else. I'd also ask you to leave

60
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.879
us a review because it helps,
and more importantly, tell someone you know

61
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.720
about us, spread the word about
back to the eighties to somebody that you

62
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:53.079
know would enjoy the show. And
as I said, my dream would be

63
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.240
to bring back a truly eighties style
radio station to everyone, a station that

64
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.519
would take you back to the days
of morning and afternoon drivetime where you would

65
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:05.120
be entertained by the people you hear. And I'm talking a full blown radio

66
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:12.360
station with promotions, giveaways, concert
tickets, shirts, hats. More So,

67
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.639
head on over to our Facebook page, give us a like, send

68
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.839
us a direct message, and please
let us know if you would like to

69
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:23.600
have back to the eighties bring music
to you. And lastly, before I

70
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.079
let everybody go, as I told
you, this is going to be very

71
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.399
very short. It's more like a
show with an announcement taking advantage of it

72
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.839
because Chang isn't here today. If
you'll allow me just a few moments to

73
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.879
talk to you about something that's on
my heart, and then I'm going to

74
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:44.759
play a song for everybody that I
think speaks to the occasion. Now,

75
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.000
if you're not from the United States
and you've seen everything that our country has

76
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:53.519
gone through these past weeks, then
you know how challenging the times are for

77
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.079
us. Here now, as a
little side note, I want to let

78
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.560
you know that what I'm saying here
is just my opinion. I am not

79
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.959
going to talk about politics. That
is for a different show. But I

80
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.040
can give my opinion regarding the humanity
of it all. And it seems that

81
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:12.319
our country has fallen prey to labels
and political parties and we forgot our humanity

82
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.720
somewhere down the line and Unfortunately,
we have displayed a part of us that

83
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.279
has hurt the country. And it
doesn't matter what side you're on. And

84
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:23.480
as I said, I'm not going
to go into details. You've seen what

85
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:27.319
we've been through lately. But what
I will say that in May of twenty

86
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.160
twenty, being in lockdown for the
very first time in our lifetime and seeing

87
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:39.680
the devastation that this worldwide pandemic was
causing so much tragedy in so many households

88
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:44.639
all over the world. We've all
been touched in some way by this pandemic,

89
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:49.959
whether you were touched physically personally in
that way, or perhaps you've lost

90
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:56.399
a family member or a friend or
an acquaintance. We've all lost people that

91
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.120
we know. And so seeing the
devastation that this was called, many of

92
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:05.600
us who lived through the eighties started
feeling the nostalgia really really bad. We

93
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:11.279
started longing for a better time,
a time that we shared when we were

94
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.680
younger, a time that for some
brought you closer to your most love family

95
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:20.879
members, A time that we remember
sharing with friends, going out and having

96
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:26.959
the greatest of times. It was
a time when movies transported us to magical

97
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.920
places and we felt part of the
stories in those characters' lives. It was

98
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.360
the greatest time if you were young, because we felt free. It was

99
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.240
freedom of stress because of our youth, and freedom of the troubles that we

100
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:45.399
experienced today. We felt that we
can conquer the world at times, and

101
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.519
I know you remember we can spend
hours at a music store looking for music,

102
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:53.000
holding the album or the cassette in
our hands. Later in the eighties

103
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.399
you were holding a CD. Possibly, but it was an experience. It

104
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.160
will never forget it. Oh and
how can we forget the music? What

105
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.199
can we say? It was everything
to us, and to some of us

106
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.399
it still is. Do you remember
how much we listen to radio and we

107
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:13.120
look forward to listening, even to
our favorite DJs. That made us feel

108
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.160
like we were part of that radio
station of the family. Now, don't

109
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:22.240
get me wrong, there was great
turmoil, there were challenges. There were

110
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.279
really bad things happening in the eighties, But it seems as we got older,

111
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.079
the turmoil, the grief, the
challenges had a much greater effect on

112
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.600
our own emotions. And last year
it sort of came to a culmination with

113
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.720
COVID, and that's why I decided
to start back to the eighties radio and

114
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:45.240
I really hope, I sincerely hope
that it's brought a smile to you in

115
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.000
some of these challenging times. So
before I let you go, I just

116
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.120
want to take you back to nineteen
eighty five. Following band Aids nineteen eighty

117
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.639
four, Do you Know It's Christmas
Project? In the UK, an idea

118
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.159
for the creation of an American benefit
single for African famine relief came to us

119
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:07.399
from activist Harry Belafonte, who,
along with Ken Craigan, brought the vision

120
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.759
to reality. Now, out of
a lot of musicians and composers that were

121
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.320
contacted, two people went up to
the task of writing a song and completed

122
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.879
it seven weeks later. Now,
this historic song brought together some of the

123
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.519
most well known artists in the music
industry of all time. The song was

124
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.559
released on March seventh, nineteen eighty
five, So I Want You to Go

125
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.080
Back with Me as a first single
from the album by Columbia Records, a

126
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:39.279
worldwide commercial success that topped the charts
throughout the world because it hits straight to

127
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.600
the heart with an incredible message,
and it bears to mention everybody who took

128
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:48.799
part in this starting with the conductor
Quincy Jones, and the writers of the

129
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.879
song Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson,
and the artists who were there Stevie Wonder,

130
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:58.120
Paul Simon, Kenny Rodgers, James
Ingram, Tina Turner, Billy Joel,

131
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.519
Diana Ross, Diana Warwick, Willie
Nelson, the Great Algero, the

132
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.639
incredible Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins,
the unmistakable voice of Steve Perry, Darryl

133
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.720
Hall, Huey Lewis, and what
could the eighties be without Cindy Lauper,

134
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.399
Kim Carnes, Bob Dylan and Ray
Charles. And that's not counting everybody who

135
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.600
was in the background and joining in
chorus. So let's take a quick trip

136
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:48.320
back to nineteen eighty five with this
generational changing song. There comes a time

137
00:10:50.240 --> 00:11:05.000
when we heed must come together out
pep dying, for when it's time to

138
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:16.559

153
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:13.440
we're shut it off. I'm sure
like me. Come on, we

154
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:22.600
have the world. We got a
cheer. We haven't want to make a

155
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:33.600
beniday, so let's not give me. It's just women we're seeing lives.

156
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:41.960
It's true, we make a benday
just giving me. We are the world

157
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:50.879
the cheering. I don't want to
make a banday, so let's get it.

Give the choiceful laver saving. It's
true, make a bad day.

159
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:42.240
We are we are the children,
so we are long to make a bad

160
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:52.080
Let's not give it. That's a
chot fell again. We shave it out

161
00:16:52.440 --> 00:17:18.039
lives. It's true and the better
day you with me? You're listening to

162
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.000
back to the eighties. This is
back to the eighties. You just heard

163
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.839
Where the World the first ever single
to be certified multi platinum and received a

164
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:32.839
quadruple platinum certification by the Recording Industry
Association of America. It was a historic

165
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:37.160
event that has transcended time, and
if you pay attention to the lyrics,

166
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.279
can make the path to changing the
hearts of many of us a little bit

167
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.359
easier. Well, I really hope
you enjoyed the song and you think about

168
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:49.039
what it says, because isn't it
amazing what we can do together if we

169
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:53.799
really wanted to, When we come
together as the race, the human race,

170
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:59.720
where color doesn't matter, there is
no stopping us. We would accomplish

171
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.319
so much more if we did.
Don't you think? We can disagree on

172
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:08.720
many things, but our humanity must
be priority. So on that note,

173
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:14.960
I wish you an incredible week.
Let's get together and make our homes brighter,

174
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:21.000
our towns safer. And our countries
of better place this year and until

175
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:25.799
next Friday. This is Tiskanno from
Tiscano and chang here at back to the

176
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:26.240
eighties. God bless
