man, sometimes lives are paint in the

9
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:47.759
ash. You know what I'm saying. Sometimes, man, you gotta take

10
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.759
it in the keiths of for easter. Man, I'm tired of bend it

11
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.320
over for everybody else to take it
in the rear. You know what I'm

12
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:58.479
saying. That's how it is,
speaking of taking it in the rear.

13
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:03.359
But Dotta's career was taken off of
the bid eighties. That's right. With

14
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.159
her nineteen eighty nine classic Like a
Prayer, she wanted to up her game,

15
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.120
if you know what I mean,
coming out with those little pointed figures

16
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:17.400
on her brazier and looking like a
sharp two toed version of Merlin Monroe.

17
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:19.879
You know what, she reminded me
of a couple of number two pencils,

18
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.239
and I would have easily wrote all
night on an essay, maybe on her

19
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.959
assay. You know what, did
you see the news lately? Madonna was

20
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:32.200
spotted at the VNA Music Awards just
the other day. Well, I think

21
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:38.480
fun at the event music awards,
so she was at noticed she was seeing

22
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.840
at the veterinarian hospital receiving botox because
several of the bees that had sung her

23
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.079
face to give her the incredible,
fat, hideous face that she now wears

24
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.159
instead of the virgin girl that she
was bar in the eighties. It was

25
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:56.040
speculated that madonnad was stuck in the
face forty two hundred times to capture that

26
00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:00.400
hideous look that's on her face right
out back to youth Stewart, Hey,

27
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:05.239
yeah, Stephen, that was made
aware the Vedonna now is officially third member

28
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.240
of Deaft Punk. That's right,
Lady Stillman's a third member of Dad and

29
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.039
she doesn't need a helmet. You
know what. In the news, another

30
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.599
bimbo that's a pop rock star,
Britney Spears, regains control of all her

31
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:20.800
assets and power of attorney and everything
Chaouse had over her father. She would

32
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.520
say that her father was mishandling her
funds and utilizing for his own benefit.

33
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:28.360
You know what if you sell your
daughter out to the devil to be a

34
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.560
springtime little horror and watch her jiggle
around in a Catholic suit and then she

35
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:36.800
holds, Oh run Disney. You
know, Mickey Mouse is no mouse.

36
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.199
He's a rat and he's spending us
over the turnstiles every time. He's sucking

37
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.159
us for our two hundred dollars to
take your kid just to go get the

38
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.520
American dream. If I'm Iby here
blacks back to you the Stuart Yeah,

39
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.240
speaking to disney Land Livesey Bucketheam's guitar
solo, go on your way with the

40
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:58.639
that's right. With the return of
Christie McVie after sixty years, they brought

41
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.479
on Fleetwood backs, Oh tour,
back of the road again. You know

42
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.319
what? Back in the music news. My take of this, Stewart is

43
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:12.719
with Lindsey Bucket have being fired from
you know Fleetwood, Mac. I don't

44
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.759
think that band has too much substance
anymore. As a matter of fact,

45
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.199
I would call it just Fleetwood because
obviously the smack and he smack Mac in

46
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.439
the band is gone. You know, I wouldn't trust Mick Fleetwood if he

47
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.439
bought me announce of cocaine and told
me you would take my ex life.

48
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.879
Lord knows he did everybody in the
band while he was on blow. That

49
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:34.479
guy's nothing but a fifty yard line
bag of cocaine. He's so much full

50
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.360
of hot air. I don't think
Disney would touch him with either Britney spears

51
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:45.319
or that other kid, Timberland,
Timberland whatever. Back to Youth Stewart slacking

52
00:03:45.400 --> 00:04:16.920
on talent. Back to Youth Stewart. Back if they were a laxative,

53
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:23.439
they'd be so powerful you could stand
on your head and on the ceiling.

54
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:29.439
Next position would not only be unavailing, but also undignified. And now back

55
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:34.120
to the eighties with Tuscano and Chang. You who are listening to the one

56
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:38.199
and only back to the eighties radio
show. I am Tuscano from Tiscano and

57
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:43.279
Chang, and to my right is
a man who is with me most fridays.

58
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.079
Other fridays he is doing his nails
with Rod Steele. It is the

59
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.079
only place where you're going to be
listening to the man, the myth and

60
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:56.560
legend. In his own mind,
we call him the Chang Chang. How

61
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.720
the heck are you? Man?
Thanks for joining us here. I'm back

62
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.879

castic. I tell you another day,

63
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:09.160

me one thing in the end, that

64
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.759

74
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:58.639
here from tuscan win Chang And I
thought I just poop my pants having you

75
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:03.639
to listen to one of the world
are songs of gosh, come sail away

76
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:08.759
Stop. I hear that song I
want to sail away somewhere far and never

77
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:13.199
come back. You mean sailing sailing
Christopher Cross? Oh, I was I

78
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.000
was incorrect. That's how bad.
I don't like the song. I couldn't

79
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.480
even get the title of the song
correct, because that's how bad. Every

80
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:23.600
time I think of Chriss Cross,
I think of maybe that little guy that

81
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.439
used to hang out in the park
with no friends, plays acoustic guitar,

82
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.639
but he had no strings on it. You know that guy. Well,

83
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:31.959
he had a good career, man, good career. A lot of people

84
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:36.240
love Christopher Cross. I always thought
he looked like the harmonica player from that

85
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:42.279
nineties band you know what I'm talking
about, Yeah Traveler. Yeah, they

86
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.480
resemble each other, except the guy
from Blues Traveler has a soulful voice and

87
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.480
probably a life. That's all I'm
saying. Stop paving. If you are

88
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:54.040
listening to us on one of the
podcasting platforms, unfortunately you can't hear the

89
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.480
music that we play. But if
you go over to our facebooking, they

90
00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.720
don't hear that song. Yeah.

94
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.920
than they did in the eighties on
radio stations. Yeah, yeah, you're

95
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.040
right. Today, as a matter
of fact, we're gonna be talking about

96
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:26.639
the most iconic concerts of the eighties. And of course that is a long

97
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.439
topic. We'd be here two or
three parts. Today's a very special show.

98
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.439
We've been talking about cruises and going
on a ship, and you know

99
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.360
what, We've got a special guest
today. Joey Fairchild, who is the

100
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:42.519
director of production at Entertainment Cruise Productions, is going to be with us talking

101
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:46.079
to us about the Eighties cruise line. So if you're interested in getting information

102
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:50.639
on the Eighties cruise line, that's
right. There is an actual cruise line.

103
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.439
They take a trip and it's not
a three hour trip. No,

104
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.680
it's not. This coming year twenty
twenty two, they're going to be having

105
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.079
the Human League thirty eight special.
So Belinda Carlisle, Block of Seagulls,

106
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:07.240
stop chang because I know what you're
thinking. Modern English and tons more if

107
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.800
you want to know anything about the
eighties cruise line, it's the ultimate eighties

108
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.480
party, that's right. You know. I will bring us to a concert

109
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.879
that I didn't go to, Okay, because I was very young. I

110
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.680
was only ten years old in nineteen
eighty two. But it was a concert

111
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.800
that I know that you did go
to, you did attend. It was

112
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:31.680
an open air venue in San Bernardino, California, and it was a three

113
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.320
day music and culture festival, and
it was held over Labor Day weekend.

114
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:43.240
If anybody recalls this event was called
the US Festival. I would say,

115
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.240
the US Festival to me and maybe
our generation here in the eighties was like

116
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.759
the Woodstock of the sixties. I
mean that low key on violence. Of

117
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.440
course, you had some drug overdoses, and of course, you know,

118
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.600
you had some incidences that weren't all
good. But the vibe and pretty much

119
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.000
the general feeling of everybody there that
it was all about the unity. Brother.

120
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.759
Everybody was all together in one realm, one state of mind. And

121
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.240
that's some music. And man,
I saw many peatre of many people of

122
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:20.279
different cultures, different styles, different
looks, different religions from different places.

123
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:26.720
Not everybody there was from California.
But you know when you get into festivals

124
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.639
like that, you know, that's
how you get prosperity within a huge mass

125
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.799
of people. That's how you could
possibly get things to change for the better

126
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.919
when everybody is unified. And I
think the US Festival, in some crazy

127
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:45.480
way created that. I think there's
a lot of my US Festival brothers and

128
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.720
sisters out there that went that know
that we embarked on something that was special,

129
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.440
historical, something powerful, carried its
own legacy, and we were all

130
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.559
part of that. Whether or not
you know our faces or stories, everyone

131
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.600
there created one saying history and we
got along in harmony. An interesting fact

132
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.200
about the US Festival. Do you
remember Apple's Steve Wozniak, Yeah, Okay,

133
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.600
Well, he commissioned this new open
air venue in San Bernardino. They've

134
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.279
brought classic rockers like Santana, The
Kinks, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers,

135
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.919
your favorite band, Fleetwood, Mac, the Police, a gang of four

136
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:28.879
Talking Heads, and a lot.
Pat Benatara played also. This three day

137
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:35.279
festival brought hundreds of thousands of fans, and Waiak ended up losing on this

138
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:41.519
twenty million dollars in this event.
You know what he ate it, and

139
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.600
I think don't matter in eating it
financially. I think what he wanted to

140
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.720
create he created. I think he
made history. I think he made a

141
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.720
lot of people happy. I think
he has his right to be in the

142
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.720
history books for doing something. I
think that was beneficial to all mankind,

143
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.919
for at that given time, it
brought young people together in music, no

144
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:09.720
violence, no harm, no hate, no grudges. Come as you are.

145
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:15.240
You survived with the with the compassion, the generosity of everybody that is

146
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:20.000
there with you, enjoying that experience, your footloose and fancy free. So

147
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.320
maybe he lost on the dollar amount, No hell yeah. But when you

148
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.440
when when you are a product of
that concert, you knew what you were

149
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.759
there to do and see and what
it created in your mind and in your

150
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.559
soul, it's worth a lot more
than the money he put out. Of

151
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.120
the money that he lost, which
is the men that you liked the most,

152
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.000
I mean that you left this event
and you go, man, wish

153
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.159
I could hear them all. I
would have. I would have to say

154
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.440
one night it was the clash,
and then I would have to say,

155
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.360
in heavy metal night, I'm a
you know, I'm a big judas Priest

156
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:58.720
fan and I love Judas Priest.
Judas Priest was probably to me the second

157
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.960
best on the Heavy Men Day.
It had to go to the Scorpions.

158
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.879
The Scorpions just blew it away.
Note for note. Every song was as

159
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.279
timed as it was on the album. Sounded exactly like the album. The

160
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.200
Priest was very loud and in your
face, just like they always are,

161
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.480
but their set was a bit rushed
and you could tell the song was a

162
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.320
little bit rushed through. The Scorpions
did a bang up job. Van Halen

163
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:28.159
was a very big disappointment. Diamond
Dave Diamond Day was was freaking hammered.

164
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.679
Man. They were you know,
they were drinking hardcore, they were partying.

165
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.519
They were very sloppy. He forgot
the lyric kind of like rapp.

166
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.000
Well, you know what, Rat. I gotta tell you one thing about

167
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.080
Rat. I didn't like him back
in the eighties, and I sure as

168
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.039
how wouldn't go see him again in
the two thousands. But that's another That's

169
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:52.360
that's for another show. I mean, there was you know, Joe Walsh,

170
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.360
you know he was supposed to kick
off there. I mean, there

171
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:00.320
was just a lot of great bands
there. Bro Motley Crew. They just

172
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:05.960
started off. I really didn't find
them to be anything spectacular. Ozzie was

173
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.960
okay, but you know, Ozzie
was coming off the death of Randy Rhodes.

174
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.360
Triumph was killer. I mean Triumph, the three piece band from Canada,

175
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.879
just as great as Rush. Yes, I said Rush. Then you

176
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:18.960
had John Cougar. John Cougar get
an excellent job. You know, he

177
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.600
got his pop hits off. You
know, he showed that he's got some

178
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.799
dance moves or if that's what you
call him. Was playing the Huge k.

179
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:31.200
Yeah, he was in Accession the
Clash. They were pretty bad,

180
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.240
of course. Access Yeah, you
too. Dominated I got to see the

181
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.000
Pretenders. I think if you would
have been old enough to go, I

182
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.399
think you really would have had a
great time. I really do. Yeah.

183
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.320
My first concert was it was like
a candy store. My first concert

184
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.840
wasn't until nineteen eighty seven, and
my very first concert, and I've told

185
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.559
you we talked about this on the
air before. I believe it was the

186
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:58.320
Cure and they came to the Forum
and we were we were let in for

187
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.360
free. Okay, the Cure.
Yeah, I wouldn't pay to go see

188
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.440
them. It was the Cure.
They were actually really really good. That's

189
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:07.960
when I started liking them, because
I didn't like him before then and I

190
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.039
saw them. You know, have
you ever experienced that there's a band that

191
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.679
you don't really care for when you
hear them on the radio, but then

192
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.360
you seem in concert and you go
like, wow, they're they're really good.

193
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.080
I like them now. Yeah.
I could say that about the Stray

194
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.120
Cats, which they also played the
very first day of the US Festival.

195
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.120
You want me to tell you who
played the very first US Festival day that

196
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.279
that day and that evening. Yeah, and I want you to tell me

197
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:33.440
what was the song too? Oh? You know what? I cannot do

198
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:39.879
that. I did way too many
bad things, bad things the very first

199
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.360
day. They called it New New
Wave Day. And I know that me

200
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.039
and you are going to be agree
on a couple of these bands. You

201
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.679
can say yay, I'll say nay, and we'll go in accordance to that

202
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:54.720
day one yes of the US House
Festival in nineteen eighty three, New Wave

203
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.080
Day opening. It was burdled in. I'll give him a ya yes,

204
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:07.759
definitely, definitely definite yea. The
Divinyls, Yeah your knee Nay. I'd

205
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:09.159
go with a nay, because I
didn't know who they were, and I

206
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.480
didn't know who the hell they were
when they were on stage. They did

207
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.720
a big name now in excess.
Yeay, I give them a yea all

208
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.519
the way, a big year wall
of voodoo. I wish I was into

209
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.120
Yawana. Yeah me some barbecue,
iguana. You know what I want to

210
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.879
say. Nay, I'm good.
Yeah, I agree with you, Nay,

211
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.879
because I all that night, I
just wanted them. They played that

212
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.519
song and then I walked away and
yeah, I don't know where I went

213
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:39.559
after that. Joe yeah a big
yeah. Yes. The great band they

214
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.159
were. They were pretty chaotic that
night. They had they had the beat

215
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.080
going for a long time. They
carried their weight. Missing Persons also another

216
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.039
great band that carried their weight that
night. I would say, yea kinda

217
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.000
is like alternative, kind of trippy, kind of but rock. Yeah.

218
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.279
Now, the crazy thing about that
is the drummer was male, married to

219
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.960
the lead singer. She was smoking. I think that's where Madonna got the

220
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:12.159
The candy kiss uh brazier that she
started wearing. Missing Persons was kind of

221
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.240
she was wearing get ups like that
before, right, Yeah. Yeah.

222
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:21.639
Terry Bosio she was married to Dale
Bosio. There was another band that I'm

223
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:23.240
sure that you loved, because I
think I've seen you with a T shirt

224
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:29.320
of there's the English Beat. I
don't think so. You think you are

225
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.240
corrected, No, okay, I
don't think so. Now. I think

226
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.360
Christian Soul sent me a picture of
you with a flock of seagulls here style.

227
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.279
And that is another band that played
that I know is one of your

228
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.440
favorites. A flock of seagulls.
Yeah, oh them, I like,

229
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.919
Yes, I like the seas now
ready now, this guy and this band

230
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:51.200
had a crazy eye. You never
knew where he was looking. And that

231
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:55.720
band is Minute Work. Yeah your
name, Yes, definitely a big Yeah.

232
00:16:55.759 --> 00:17:00.279
I love every song that Men at
Work put out. Now here's that

233
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.400
I think you like. And I
love them because they're political. Tongues are

234
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.200
never silenced, and I have to
go with the clash. Yeah, I

235
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:12.160
like the clash. Yeah, first
political kind of slash punk, in your

236
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.960
face, hard rock, come from
poverty. We're gonna kick your face in.

237
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.480
If you're you know you're for the
establishment or you have to be against

238
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.880
it would be the Clash. Yeah. They did a great job that night

239
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.599
too. Yes, several of those
bands. They had me rocking a roll

240
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.799
and you know, at that time
I was pretty much more of a metal

241
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.319
head. But I had a good, surprising night. Fill me in on

242
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.039
the details of this location, because
I can't picture it. I'm imagining a

243
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.000
place like Coachella with you know,
at that time, there was only one

244
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.799
stage, one main stage, the
giant US stage, and everybody performed on

245
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:49.400
it. They had the video screens, three of them, I believe,

246
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.799
but everybody was on the same stage. Now, the crazy thing about that

247
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.960
concert was, you know, when
you have that many bands and that many

248
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:02.759
hours to perform, you have to
go through instruments switches, so you have

249
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.720
to kind of keep the crowd entertained. And it was very hot. It

250
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:11.559
was square off Savagardino heat. You
know, they had water can and squirt

251
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.240
guns. Everybody was getting each other
wet. Women were half naked. Good

252
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.400
God, when I think about it, it was like something that you would

253
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.400
see in a movie. Now,
how much do you remember how much you

254
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.720
paid for the tickets? If you
paid for no, I don't know.

255
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.119
I yes, I paid for tickets
because I was working at Sam's Liquor at

256
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:32.160
the time, so a lot of
my money Sam's. I kicked my Yeah,

257
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.240
yeah I was. I was working
at Sam's Liquor in Montabell, California

258
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:37.920
while I was fifteen years old.
Bro oh yeah bro good times nice.

259
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:44.000
My hard earned money went on the
originally y Fly five one, Chuck Chuck

260
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:48.279
Chuck, Converse and concert tickets.
Yeah, so you really got to enjoy

261
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.839
the concert. You actually remember the
day, the feel the weather, You

262
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:59.440
remember everything in detail. For an
individual that God has intoxicated is me and

263
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:02.920
my homeboy is did. I am
very fortunate and lucky, and I give

264
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.279
my shout out to the Great Spirit
to hold my thoughts together. No,

265
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:10.480
through all the bad things that I
did do to myself that I do,

266
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.960
I do have great memories, vivid
memories of events. There are people I

267
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:21.319
did meet. Names are are a
little bit foggy, you know, set

268
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:25.279
lists are a little bit foggy.
But I do remember certain songs and I

269
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:29.599
just remember. I can go back
in my mind and visually see every face

270
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.759
that I met, in every face
that I hugged and or I made laugh

271
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:38.759
or I shared something with. It
was definitely something that I think get away

272
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:41.839
from the booze and the alcohol,
which is you know, always attributed to

273
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:47.519
rock and roll in concerts of that
magnitude, you step away from that and

274
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:52.519
just going out and meeting people and
sharing that experience and each of you having

275
00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.440
that one thing in common that you
love that music and you can identify on

276
00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.119
the way that music makes you feel. It's pricess brother. And there was

277
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.640
so many conscious like that before you
had cal Jab back in the you know,

278
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.759
back in the seventies, you had
the Monsters of Rock at the Coliseum,

279
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:11.799
which is in the later eighties pretty
much k and EC one oh five

280
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:17.359
point five was promoting that a lot
that small Now these are conscious that we're

281
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:21.279
gonna be talking about here on the
show in future shows, but of course

282
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:23.480
we don't have enough time. But
now you did mention before we go on

283
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:27.240
break, you did mention that there
were bands such as you two that went

284
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:30.160
there. Yes, yeah, you
actually got to see you two live.

285
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.960
Yeah. And the thing was their
sets were all very short, forty five

286
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.440
minutes to an hour, right,
you know, so you two, they

287
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.759
did a lot of their their first
couple of albums, you know, war

288
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.119
the great stuff, yeah, the
great stuff, Yeah, the stuff that

289
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:49.799
was very politically charged. Yeah,
and I think the US Festival had a

290
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.880
lot of acts there and the feeling
of the vibe and a lot of the

291
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:59.799
message kind of was a politically charged
event because we knew when you get to

292
00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:03.160
get there in that magnitude of that
amount of people, that is power.

293
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.640
There is power and numbers. And
right now to this day, we are

294
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:14.480
the generation of the eighties that should
probably have power in our political movement.

295
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:19.119
As an everyday as an everyday judge
of everyday life. It's our generation that

296
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:22.200
needs to step up and take over
the world. So I think the US

297
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:27.920
Festival and other concerts like that in
the eighties has prepared us for the common

298
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.799
goal, and that is unity.
My brother, I couldn't agree with you

299
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:36.079
more. Coming up next, Joey
Fairchild, the director of production of entertainment

300

So Joey, thank you for joining

Hey, thanks guys. I appreciate
it. Any opportunity I get to

318
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:51.400

cruise it's fun. So thank you for

319
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:53.920
breaking up the day. Hey,
that's what that's what we're here for.

320
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:56.920
So let's go ahead and kick it
all off, and let me ask you

321
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:02.119
right from the beginning, because there's
a lot of people that, although they

322
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.839
may have heard of the Eighties cruise, have no idea how or what led

323
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:10.559
to it being celebrated on a cruise
line. So how did it all come

324
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:14.880
to be? Well, yeah,
well, the company that produces it is

325
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.480
called Entertainment Cruise Productions. That's who
I work for, and what we do

326
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.319
is we do theme cruises. So
I've been with the company for a little

327
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:26.200
over fifteen years and we've done jazz
cruises, a Star Trek cruise, we

328
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.480
have a motorcycle rally cruise, We've
done country cruises, We've done all these

329
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:33.480
different cruises. Right, so we
take over a cruise ship for a week,

330
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:38.920
cancel all the kind of normal cheesy
cruise ship entertainment, and we're bringing

331
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:44.839
on all this other entertainment depending on
the theme. So the Eighties cruise was

332
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:48.720
kind of born. The first one
was twenty sixteen. So every few years

333
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.559
we kind of all get around a
round table, everyone from the company,

334
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.920
and everyone kind of throws in their
ideas and concepts of new cruises. And

335
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.240
a few of us had been talking
eighties and I had really been push for

336
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:02.720
it as well, because I thought
the music would be fun. I could

337
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:07.000
imagine what the ship looked like all
eighties out and excuse me. We started

338
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:11.720
started planning it, and in twenty
sixteen we launched it. And having looked

339
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.319
back and we're getting ready to celebrate
our six crewis that's awesome? Six already?

340
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:22.960
What kind of reception among among your
company with it. Let's talk about

341
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.319
the people who love the eighties later
that are paying for the cruise, but

342
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.759
what about people that are like within
your department in your company? What did

343
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.720
they think when you said it,
let's do eighties? Yeah? Well,

344
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.759
I mean again, it had been
a concept that had been floating around probably

345
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:40.839
for a couple of years, and
the timing was never right, and you

346
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.400
know, some of the higher ups
were like, I'm just not sure.

347
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:47.440
I don't know if it works.
Maybe they didn't quite understand it, and

348
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:49.640
then you know, we all just
kind of really pushed for it. Presented

349
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:53.400
a presentation on power point of like, this is what it would look like.

350
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:56.599
Here's some of the bands, you
know, playing music, and then

351
00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:59.039
everyone just started getting and I was
like, Yeah, this this will work,

352
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:02.079
this will be fun. Go ahead, guys start pucing it, so

353
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:04.920
they gave us a green light,
and it's one of our favorites. Now.

354
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:10.000
It's it's really nothing like it when
it comes to not only the atmosphere

355
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:11.759
in the party, but just just
the guests. Everyone really has such a

356
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.720
great time and has become a real
community. You know. We see a

357
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.680
lot of the same people coming back
a year after year, and they don't

358
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:22.119
just come back for the experience,
but they come back for the friendships that

359
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.160
they've created over the years. So
it's really cool to see. Now,

360
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:32.279
Joey, how long is the cruise
and what are some of the destinations that

361
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:37.119
the Eighties cruise is going to take
off into. Sure, it's a it's

362
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.519
a week long cruise. So the
one coming up, let's see. I

363
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.160
actually have to look and see when
the exact data is I'll tell you.

364
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:48.599
So we leave on March fifth,
so it goes March five through twelve,

365
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.279
so we're out there for a full
week. We go out of Cape Canaveral,

366
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:55.920
which is right outside of Orlando,
and we'll go to Nassau and the

367
00:26:55.920 --> 00:27:00.319
Bahamas. We'll go to Saint Thomas
and Saint Martin, will be to three

368
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:04.519
ports a call that we'll go to
all those all those santy little beaches you

369
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:08.400
know that are pretty pretty brownish.
Yeah, you guys go to the best

370
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:11.519
of the best. Yeah, and
you know, we people to come in

371
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.799
from New York and up north and
all that, so that time of year

372
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.720
they're already to get out of the
snow and at the Caribbeans. So it's

373
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.079
fun see those people. Let loose. What's the ambiance like once you get

374
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:27.440
on board? Do you have any
authentic eighties things or props on board,

375
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:32.079
whether it be like an arcade,
do you guys have you know, something

376
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:36.799
like that or a or an eighties
type disco that's really authentic feeld Yeah,

377
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:38.279
we try to, you know,
we try to celebrate all things eighties and

378
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:42.279
we we really try to take the
cruise ship and transform it as much as

379
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:47.200
we can m and really make it
kind of like an eighties theme park for

380
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:52.400
the week. So we bring on
arcade games from the eighties so that there

381
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:59.000
is a true arcade on board,
but it's opens will be exactly it's open

382
00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:00.279
play, so it's pretty one.
So you know, we got that.

383
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.759
And then yeah, we do a
ton of decor. I mean, we

384
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:06.400
try to change it up every year, but there's a lot of different props

385
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:10.440
we have. You'll see Slimer,
We'll be bouncing around. He'll be in

386
00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:14.240
different stores and it kind of becomes
wears Waldo. The same with et.

387
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:18.920
We've got a giant boombox that's been
around Eighties Cruise. We have a few

388
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:21.519
other giant things. It seems like
there's a lot of giant stuff with the

389
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:23.079
Eighties. I guess the eighties is
so big and now we have giant stuff,

390
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:26.720
right, a giant Twister before,
we have Giant Connect four. There's

391
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:32.000
a great big cassette tape that actually
says the Eighties Cruise mix on it,

392
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:37.119
and year one it actually disappeared halfway
through the cruise and became kind of a

393
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:40.960
running joke because nobody could find the
cassette tape. And then, you know,

394
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:42.960
even a comedian was talking about,
how do you really think you're going

395
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:48.119
to sneak off with this giant pink
Eighties cassette tape? And it's kind of

396
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:49.680
like, hey, we're going to
turn our back if it shows up by

397
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:52.319
eight am or something like that.
You know, I think I've seen it

398
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:57.000
on YouTube somewhere. Yeah, So
it's kind of a famous prop. You

399
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:00.880
know, there's times we take different
venues and rename them and try to take

400
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:06.480
you back to the eighties. Last
year we had a Saint Almo's bar um,

401
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:07.920
you know, So we just try
to do a little bit of everything

402
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.680
and then bring all that nostalgia back. And you're right. I mean,

403
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:14.160
the colors can be over the top, but it's it's kind of that at

404
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:17.359
times, or you know, you
might walk into an elevator it's just full

405
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:19.039
of slinkies. So it's a little
bit of everything. You know, if

406
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:23.160
Chang Kang, if you and I
ever win on this cruise, you know

407
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:26.319
what I would love to hear as
soon as you you step foot. First

408
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.720
of all, I want Gopher and
dog look look alikes. Then I want

409
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.839
the love boat theme to greet us. Well, you're definitely greeting with eighties

410
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:37.160
music is soon as that's awesome board, everything is eighties, so you're you're

411
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:42.200
hit with eighties music and everything is
is changed. We take over television channels

412
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:45.000
on the ship, so for those
who are in their cabins getting ready or

413
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:49.920
just hanging out, there's eighties TV, there's eighties movies, there's it's there's

414
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:53.680
eighties everywhere. You look nice,
hey, Joey. Now, if Toscano

415
00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:57.400
and Chang were to ever to go
on one of these cruises and we hold

416
00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:03.039
our show, would it be okay? We have a big hair contest because

417
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:06.599
you know, the eighties was all
big hair, big egos. If you

418
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:08.839
hung out in Hollywood and big hair
everywhere. I like that. If you

419
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:11.559
guys don't come, we might still
take that idea one of them, like

420
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:15.279
hey, hey, hey, night
every night. So not only do people

421
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:19.079
show up wearing eighties costumes or clothes
from the eighties or anything like that,

422
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:22.759
then there's a theme night every night
too, So there's people who bring two

423
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.319
three suitcases worth of stuff because they're
changing constantly. You know. One of

424
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:32.279
the theme nights is uh is a
rock, rock and rap, So that

425
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:34.880
might be a good competition that night
to have a big eighties hair thing.

426
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:38.400
What are what are some of the
bands that have come in the past that

427
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:45.440
left everybody just floored just spectacular performance? Yeah, man, so many,

428
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:49.240
um, I mean memorable ones for
me, Huey Lewis and the News.

429
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:52.839
Yeah, that's always it's great.
You know, we had d Snyder,

430
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:59.839
Kenny Loggins did a really great show, Cheap Trick came on and killed it.

431
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:02.839
That was great, you know,
Wang Chong. I mean it's really

432
00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:07.240
kind of a little bit of everything
for everybody. Club Neuvo was a big

433
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:08.640
one actually, a lot of people
didn't know what to expect, and Club

434
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:15.519
New Vaux was in this small like
lounge club vibe and I mean they're really

435
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:18.480
good. Yeah yeah, same thing
with the Treat Waves. No one knew

436
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:19.720
what to expect with them, and
then we brought them back a couple of

437
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:22.519
times because the same thing. The
Vibe was just insane with their show.

438
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:27.359
So I bet you lead A Ford
would create some energy. She was there

439
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:30.799
last year. Yeah, she was
great. She was great cooling the gang

440
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.799
and done in a couple of times. They were great. So you guys

441
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:40.079
really really focus on getting the big
names and just getting as much as possible.

442
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:42.480
I mean, people must just go
wild. I mean the ambiance on

443
00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:47.200
the ship must be wild at the
very start, at the very first concert.

444
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:49.000
Yeah, I mean, and it's
it's more than just a concerts,

445
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:52.920
you know, It's that's what's the
cool thing is is you're walking around the

446
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:55.359
ship and then all of a sudden
you're in an elevator with lead a Ford

447
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:57.920
or you're going through the buffet and
there's he Lewis sitting there too, and

448
00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:00.599
people sit down and have a conversation
with him. So it becomes all those

449
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:06.000
experiences too, and the show's almost
become secondary at times and it's everything else.

450
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:07.640
But yeah, you know, we
really do try to get the biggest

451
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.599
and best names we can. But
it's tough too, because you know,

452
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:15.359
the interesting thing about the eighties is
it's it's still really popular, and there's

453
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:19.559
still a lot of bands that are
irrelevant, And the hardest thing for us,

454
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.079
believe it or not, is there's
a lot of eighties bands that don't

455
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:29.240
want to do eighties themed events or
shows because they don't want to be pigeonholed

456
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:31.200
even though they're an eighties band,
they don't want that. Or you have

457
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:34.920
bands that are afraid of the water
and don't want to sail. So we

458
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:38.599
do our best to get everybody and
anybody that's been from the eighties, but

459
00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:42.640
sometimes we run into those roadblocks where
we just got to wait a year and

460
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.200
say, Okay, maybe you're ready
to sail, now, how about now?

461
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:47.240
How about now? Well you know
you mentioned buffet and I just pictured

462
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:51.319
Vince Neil just spending most of his
time they were doing a concert from there.

463
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:57.319
Oh, Vince mcneilie, I would
imagine that. Don't ever hire Motley

464
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:01.799
Crue. I grew up in Los
Angeles, Joey, and they sound better

465
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:08.480
on record than they do live.
Do you guys have any giveaways either before

466
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:12.839
the cruise, you know, on
the ship on the cruise itself, do

467
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:16.240
you have any giveaways anything that just
gets the majority pumped up for something to

468
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:20.200
win? Um, yeah, I
mean on the ship, we have all

469
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.319
sorts of stuff like that at times, you know, there's different competitions and

470
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:25.240
then things happening, So there's a
lot of a lot of giveaways happening with

471
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:30.160
that. In the past, before
before the cruise, there's been times we've

472
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:34.319
given cabins away with different sponsors or
you know, had different promotions where someone's

473
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:37.599
had a chance to win a cabin
for two. So, yeah, those

474
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:39.240
things kind of happen. I don't
know if there's anything being given away at

475
00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:42.599
the moment. I know there'd be
stuff given away on the ship though.

476
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:45.279
Yeah, we typically not to give
away the entire cruise, but every night,

477
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:50.640
typically you go back to your room
and there's a there's a gift from

478
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:53.160
us to all the passengers to usually
get a shirt, you know, hopefully

479
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:57.440
a hat, maybe there's sunglasses,
and the past there's been beach towels and

480
00:33:57.759 --> 00:33:59.519
you know, all that kind of
stuff, So we give you all sorts

481
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.160
of eighties swag while you're out there
as well. You see, Chang,

482
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:06.799
I think I think you and I
should pull the Leo DiCaprio and his best

483
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:12.000
friendland Titanic and we'll pull that on
the eighties cruise. Have you, guys

484
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:16.599
ever thought of maybe possibly partnering up
with one of the small islands and the

485
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:23.880
island going in on the same theme
as the eighties, making the cruise a

486
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:28.960
once in a lifetime experience to where
they can actually be on the cruise in

487
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:35.239
the eighties, get off somewhere and
enjoy some more Eighties experiences and festivities.

488
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:38.440
Has that ever been done yet?
Have you discussed that with anybody as anybody

489
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:43.320
even willing to touch that with you
guys, Yeah, I mean we've definitely

490
00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:45.480
talked about it. And then there's
always stuff in the works and planning,

491
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:47.519
and you know, when we go
to some of the private islands, we

492
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:52.440
have that opportunity a lot because we
can kind of take over the entire beach

493
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:57.039
and try to have some different programming
and things that usually maybe happens on the

494
00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:59.440
cruise, but we bring it to
the island. Well yeah, I mean

495
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:02.760
we would like to do even more
of that. We do excursions, you

496
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:07.320
know where a lot of the artists
are even going out on excursions and hanging

497
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:09.199
out. So you might be doing
something on the island and you know,

498
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:13.480
same thing you were losing the news
or one of those bands could be out

499
00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:15.599
there on an excursion with you.
But yeah, we'd love to do more

500
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:19.159
of that. I like the idea. So maybe you guys can talk to

501
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:21.800
the islands and hook it up.
We'll make it happen. Let's just for

502
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:25.000
a second kind of take a mental
picture of this. If you right now,

503
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:28.840
we're told, you know what,
the government's got a real time machine.

504
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:31.599
Okay, but it's only a one
way trip, all right, and

505
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:37.599
unfortunately or fortunately for many, it's
only to the eighties. Okay, would

506
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:39.679
you go and if you would,
what year would do? Would you like

507
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:43.440
to plant yourself at? Well,
I definitely go. Yeah, I mean,

508
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:45.880
it's it's something we kind of laugh
about and joke about when we get

509
00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:51.400
on the ship. Is Hey,
everybody, forget about today's issues or problems

510
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:52.599
or things you got going on in
your life, and let's go back to

511
00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:55.360
a time where we at least think
it was simpler, right, And let's

512
00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:02.320
for me too. Two years stand
out. Either eighty five because he's kind

513
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:06.679
of writing the heart of it for
me, certain movies, certain music,

514
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:10.079
or eighty eight. Eighty eight was
kind of like I was getting older at

515
00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:14.719
that time, so there's just a
little bit more things I remember or going

516
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:16.239
through, maybe more girls, that
kind of thing. So that was a

517
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:20.920
time for me as well. So
maybe either eighty five or eighty eight for

518
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:23.800
me. You see, change was
a grandfather in eighty eight already, So

519
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:30.320
you know what, Joey. Now, Mario didn't want to mention this,

520
00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:32.960
but one day you'll see us on
the cruise and Mario was going to wear

521
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:39.480
his Wham Middrif shirt right with astless
chap set match. So you'll notice him

522
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:44.800
right off the boat as soon as
he walks on. That's what his attire

523
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:50.480
will be. What is your most
favorite artist or band of the eighties.

524
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:54.599
It's a tough one. That is
tough, but I'm gonna change it and

525
00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:57.400
flip it on you. Guys a
little bit. If I could go back

526
00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:00.519
and see any concert I'd like to
go back and see in the eighties with

527
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:07.000
Freddie maybe, Yeah, I think
i'd want a little bit more. I

528
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:09.480
think I'd be greedy and want more
than the thirty three minutes or whatever they

529
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:15.159
perform. Yeah, but then I
don't know, Maybe maybe Guns n' Roses.

530
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:17.960
I know it's it's weird, it's
SIT's whatever, but it's just for

531
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:21.719
me. It was. It was
one of my favorite bands and just really

532
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:23.360
liked it. Like them a lot. Well they did, They performed phenomenal.

533
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:28.000
They're very cutting age. In the
eighties, Guns and Roses came out,

534
00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:31.159
I think, and kind of that
classic rock style, but with the

535
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:37.800
heavy metal kind of sound. They
took the vibe to another another level.

536
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:39.679
I thought in the eighties just Guns
n' Roses. I was not fond of

537
00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:43.719
actual Rose. I have a funny
story, but I'm not going to go

538
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:49.280
into that. But definitely Slash It
is probably one I think would probably one

539
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:52.280
of the greatest guitar players in rock
from the eighties. Hey, Joey,

540
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:55.639
last question, where can people get
all the information to get on board and

541
00:37:55.679 --> 00:38:00.599
get on this cruise? Well,
the cruise is old out for two thousand

542
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:06.119
and twenty two. But that being
said, there's always a cancelization here and

543
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:08.199
there. Life changes for people,
plans change. So you can go to

544
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:15.559
uh www dot the Eighties Crews dot
com. We're also on Facebook and all

545
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:17.519

00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:22.280

547
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:24.000
the stuff that happens, and and
get ready for the next one when we

548
00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:28.639
go on sale. Can you remind
us again who are some of the bands

549
00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:31.639
that are gonna be joining you guys
on this coming year. We got thirty

550
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:37.440

League, Berlin, Berlinda Carlisle, Morris

551
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:44.480

552
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:50.320
Flock of City Gals, Um,
Sugar Hill Gang, John Pard, John

553
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:54.960
Cafferty, and Beva Brown Band,
Modern English, Holy Cow. It's literally

554
00:38:54.960 --> 00:39:00.159
the MTV drink coming all over again. Yeah, a little bit for a

555
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:02.840
little bit everything for everybody. Well, I figured that we still have time

556
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:07.199
to pack our bags for a couple
of years or some cancelation or like I

557
00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:10.280
said, if you do happen to
see us, we pulled the Leo DiCaprio

558
00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:15.000
and Titanic. On that note,
Joey, I can't thank you enough for

559
00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:17.360
taking the time out of your busy
schedule to join us here. Back to

563
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:30.440

564
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:34.559
you. Hopefully we see you soon. Tuscano and I are going to start

565
00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:37.079
selling our recyclable so we can get

566
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:42.280
some of our greatest eighties attire just

567
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:45.400
about a little Welcome to the Jungle
by Guns and Roses. You heard it

568
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:51.719
here, Welcome to the Jungle g
n R on k hits ninety two point

569
00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:52.559
five. Back to the eighties Radio. We'll talk to you in a bit.

570
00:39:53.159 --> 00:40:00.639
If you can't wear a Spendex jumpsuit, what can you do the eighties?

571
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:06.440
This is back to the eighties Radio. This is the time of the

572
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:09.119
show where we take a moment to
talk about the things that made us angry

573
00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:14.599
back in the eighties. But in
honor of the most wondrous chang we've dumped

574
00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:21.519
them changres, So chang what made
you changry back in the eighties? What

575
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:25.679
gets me changry about the eighties is
getting sea sick on the Queen Mary and

576
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:31.280
the ship never removed union. What
gets me changry back in the eighties when

577
00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:36.880
I went to whale watching seeing no
damn the whales. I don't think that's

578
00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:39.880
the right cruise either. You know
what got me changry back in the eighties

579
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:44.840
with cruise lines when you go to
your room and there is no window in

580
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:49.199
your cabin. You know what gets
me changry when I think about going back

581
00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:52.679
to the eighties in the water.
You know it got me changry back in

582
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:57.119
the eighties when I was out on
the bout of the boats. What's getting

583
00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:00.239
lost in a three hour tour with
a fat alcohol all the canastrawnes, little

584
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:06.000
monkey who didn't know anything? And
that latest and gentlemen, is this week's

585
00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:09.599
chang reeks. If you have anything
