00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.520
Welcome to Back to the eighties radio
show where we talk about the awesome

9
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.920
memories that make us so dang nostalgic. It's not living in the past,

10
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.560
it's just recognizing how sweet he had
it. I want to thank you for

11
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.719
joining us on another show. And
of course we can't do the show alone

12
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:17.280
because as always, he is here
to torment us or to make us laugh.

13
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:22.040
Is a man that has been seen
at Liquorice Pizza back in the eighties,

14
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.879
buying nothing but records from Culture Club
and The Cure. And he's been

15
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:34.480
spotted on several occasions today on birthday, on birthday parties, singing nothing but

16
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:44.040
starship songs to us. Here,
he is known as the Wondrous Change.

17
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.959
I will ring the bell till the
cows come home. I will ring the

18
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.040
bell till the angels fall from the
sky. I will ring the bell shill

19
00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:00.200
you go to hell because you have
not proclaimed me to be the victors.

20
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.560
Ah. But you know what,
I'm glad. I'm glad you mentioned it,

21
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.000
and I want to thank you guys
for joining us, because today marks

22
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:15.919
the last day of our time travel
through the eighties and through eighties music.

23
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:21.199
We've been talking about Billboard's top ten
top five of all of the nineteen eighties.

24
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.879
We started in nineteen eighty and now
we end up in nineteen eighty nine.

25
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:29.479
I also mentioned to you last week
that we got screwed over by our

26
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.319
podcast platform, saying that we had
to take down a bunch of shows.

27
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:37.120
So they were taken down, but
they're going to be edited and put right

28
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:42.560
back up. Also, if you
want to hear the extended song right,

29
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.319
you don't want to hear this little
gap and you're thinking, why the heck

30
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.319
did that song finished up so quick? It's because we can't play too much

31
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.759
of the song until we get everything
settled with the podcast platform. It seems

32
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.159
to me, Yeah, it seems
to me that even if you have authorization

33
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.719
like we did to play this music, they don't even care. Anyway,

34
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:06.759
long story short, you wanted to
tune into k Hits ninety two five dot

35
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.680
com. Oh oh, oh,
a little caveat here, A little side

36
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.919
note. Our website ninety two five
dot com was down last week, and

37
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:20.639
I'll tell you why it was down
because our lovely fans thank you, and

38
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.800
I mean this sincerely, no no
sarcasm involved, thank you because you did

39
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:30.000
go to the website, but it
couldn't handle the thousands and thousands of you

40
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.560
who went on at the same time
to listen to the Back to the eight

41
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:39.400
show. So it broke our internet. It broke our internet. So here's

42
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:44.520
what we're gonna do. I want
to have you. You can either go

43
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:49.080
to k hits two five dot com, but there may be the chance that

44
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.919
it may go down again if too
many people are on there. We just

45
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.039
don't have right now the funds to
get a much larger server. So here's

46
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.400
what we're gonna do. We're gonna
guide you over to our Facebook page where

47
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.479
I will have a link set there. All you do is you download,

Apple device, download the Live three six

five app Live three six five app, and then once you've downloaded it,

50
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:21.199
you search for k Hits ninety two
five. It may be there as k

51
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:26.120
Hits ninety two point five. The
point is you look for k h I

52
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:31.439

there you're going to be hearing music twenty

53

four hours a day. But on
Fridays at five pm Pacific you will hear

54
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:43.040

wood anyway. Big shout out to everybody

56
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.319
listening to us through every single platform. Thank you. Today. As I

57
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.199
mentioned, we're gonna be finishing our
time travel through the eighties as we get

58
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:59.000
ready to talk about Billboard's Top five
Songs from eighty nine, but even more

59
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.439
important than their list, because their
chang their list sucked. I want to

60
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:08.560
give a special shout out Toscano to
everybody that's a Millie Vanilli fan. And

61
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:13.000
I am only bringing that out because
you knew. I knew this. This

62
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:17.600
went bad within the first top twenty
songs, and I've seen two Millie Vanilli

63
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.959
songs, and I was like,
Wow, this is gonna get worse.

64
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:26.519
I better drink some pepto bismos so
I don't vomit as I read through the

65
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.959
list. Oh oh, it's bad. As a matter of fact, I'm

66
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.160
gonna make an honorable mention. Why
not make honorable mention? Now? Millie

67
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:38.560
Vanilli, now that you mentioned them, has four places in the top one

68
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.319
hundred of Billboard in eighty nine.
They have number eight, number sixteen,

69
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.480
number twenty one, and number twenty
eight. I found it repulsive. I

70
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.759
found it upsetting. I want to
give a shout out to all you Depsi

71
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:55.800
Debbie Gibson fans. If anybody knows
where Debbie Gibson went, please contact the

72
00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:02.199
show stick around, because when we
come back, we are going through the

73
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:10.240
back to the eighties and Billboards top
songs of nineteen eighty nine. Greatest vocalist,

74
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:15.160
indeed, the greatest posi religious figure
of the twentieth century can only be

75
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.240
done. That's right, Tom don
Hoe. And when you think of don

76
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.240
Hole, what hell do you think
of? That? Right? Hawaii?

77
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:24.120
And when you think of Hawaii,
there's no denying the Headbanger's Ball Escape from

78
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.759
the Long Cold Winter was Cinderellic Contest. One winner and the guest. We

79
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.079
rocket into the unspoiled tropical paradise of
Hawaire. You tell them about it.

80
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.839
Tom, you and a friend will
escape a long Cold winner see Cinderella in

And if you're lacking so personal items

87
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:06.279
to Back to the Eighties. Welcome
back to Back to the eighties Radio.

88
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:11.600
This is the Chang from tuscanow and
Chang. We are going heads up tonight

89
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:16.920
for the last time on our Billboard
Top one hundred Tunes of the nineteen eighties.

90
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:24.319
We are finishing it off with nineteen
eighty nine. Oh oh, then

91
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:30.639
we rumble into the nineties, but
that's another podcast for another time. Nineteen

92
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.959
eighty nine Tuscano. I'm gonna say
this really quick couple of fun facts.

93
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:41.839
Yeah, Bobby Brown has four songs
on this list. I don't get it.

94
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:47.120
It's amazing the love and the airplay
that Bobby Brown got, I mean,

95
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.439
but then again, we all know
this is before he got his wife

96
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:53.879
hookedohn cocaine and then she later died
and his kid died because of the drug

97
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.439
scene that he promoted. I'm just
putting that out there. Not a big

98
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:03.360
fan of Bobby Brown at all.
And the other one that I was I

99
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:09.360
tripped out on was Paula Abduel,
who resembles Paula Abduel, had three smash

100
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:15.399
hit songs followed up with my daughter
Vanessa's favorite group of nineteen eighty nine.

101
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:20.959
That's right, all you young kids
and kiddies got to remember the new kids

102
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:26.199
on the block with three also hits
on that Billboard chart. Now, I

103
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.639
mean, the list goes on.
There's there's other artists here on this list

104
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:37.039
that have been on mention on it, but sadly, Debbie Gibson was only

105
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.679
on there once for what reasons.
I don't even know. I really don't

106
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:48.360
even remember Debbie Gibson. Do you
a poster right behind you? I thought

107
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.279
maybe she was like a childhood actress. I don't know, but then I

108
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.360
see her name here. But then
again quickly I saw Richard Marks on the

109
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.840
list, and I knew they both
have good hair. That's why exactly,

110
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.639
I want to remind you guys that
if you do have an idea or something

111
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.879
you'd like to talk to us here
at Back to the Eighties, go ahead

112
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:13.159
and send us a note at Back

115
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:26.320
a positive review wherever you listen to
us through It does help us out a

116
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.120
lot. Now, Chang, Yeah, as I told you in the beginning,

117
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.120
as we entered the show, things
started going downhill. And we can

118
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.200
tell musically speaking of course, not
everything, guys, we understand, I

119
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.480
gotta make those little disclaimers. We're
not saying that everything was bad, but

120
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.559
you can tell that everything started going
downhill. Now, from the business standpoint,

121
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:52.679
these companies, you can start seeing
their claws come out and have them.

122
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.399
You can tell this joint thing that
they had with MTV, because MTV

123
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.480
had a lot to do with these
other artill radio. Yeah, these other

124
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.279
artists coming out and being so popular
and so they got all this airplay.

125
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:11.240
For example, if we go ahead
and attack Billboard's Top five chang, who

126
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:18.000
do we have in place number five? Oh my god, this alone is

127
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:24.600
you know what a very talented family
for number five. Miss Janet Jackson Michael's

128
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.519
sister. She also did some acting. Very pretty young girl could dance like

129
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:37.440
crazy with miss you. It was
miss you much now Janet Jackson and Paula

130
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.480
Abduel. I believe these are the
phases. And with Madonna that started the

131
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:48.480
choreography that was added to music.
And this is where a lot of female

132
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.480
artists got lost. And this is
where the business, as you said,

133
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.840
we started seeing their fangs in their
in their claws come out as they dove

134
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:03.879
in and dissected music to make it
more sexy oriented rather than talent. Music

135
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:09.480
is intent for it's to bring out
an emotion. Uh, it's so people

136
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:16.600
can identify, people can get out
and make themselves feel good or maybe a

137
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.639
song I will heal their their pain
at that time. This is exactly at

138
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.440
that particular moment with those artists that
I mentioned and what you said, we

139
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:30.000
saw the decline of the music business. There, I put it out there.

140
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.240
You can agree with me, you
can hate me. It doesn't really

141
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.879
matter. I said what I had
to say. Yeah, well, look

142
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:41.399
look what happened in place number four
with straight Up by Paula Abduel. We're

143
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.679
talking. This is a Laker girl
who can't who came out and started singing.

144
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.879
And I mean, you know,
good for her, but you know

145
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:54.399
her debut studio album, Forever Your
Girl, this song straight Up was on

146
00:11:54.440 --> 00:12:00.159
it, written and produced entirely by
Elliott Wolf. And it just goes to

147
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.440
show you. Now, granted she
could sing, she can dance, she

148
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:09.679
was a performer, but does she
really deserve to be in place number four

149
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:15.240
on Billboard's Top one hundred songs,
of course, not in place number three?

150
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.480
Of course. Is a band that
we all know eighties fans. We

151
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:26.440
all know that Chang just straight up
hates this band. But the song kind

152
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.960
of country ish. You know.
It was a glam metal band. Poison

153
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.080
October nineteen eighty eight was a single
from their second album, Open Up and

154
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:41.120
Say Ah. And that's what I
asked him to do in Hollywood. So

155
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:46.879
I missed playing this is because I
mistook him for a female because I was

156
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.600
a bit inebrated at the rainbow Nice
what about place number two? Oh you

157
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:56.120
go ahead and read number two please, and then I will give you my

158
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.679
fantastic real well from his second studio
album, Don't be cruel, mister Bobby

159
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:07.279
Brown with a song. My prerogative
is this song got so much airplane on

160
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:13.080
any any station around the country with
the with the name Power behind it.

161
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:18.399
You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean anytime I visualized Bobby Brown,

162
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:24.240
I picture a dollar bill hanging out
of his nose, rolled up,

163
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.000
rolled up, hundred everybody out there
nose, Yes that. I am not

164
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.559
a big fan of Peter Stare the
way he took over Chicago and made it

165
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:39.519
a ballad band. But good lord, did they have to smear it in

166
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:45.039
the old chank's face and give look
Away at number one spot on this look

167
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.960
Away? I did more than a
look Away from Chicago. I ran away.

168
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.360
I turned away. Oh my god, that band sucked once he took

169
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.519
over. Now, yes he did. This is incredible because look Away look

170
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.399
Away topped the Billboard one hundred for
two weeks in December of eighty eight.

171
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.559
And it, I mean it took
off from there and Billboard decided, Uh,

172
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:11.960
let's just make them number one for
nineteen eighty nine. It's a good

173
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.440
fit, it's a good feel.
And now, Rex, that's a great

174
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:20.080
idea. Granted, I like Peter
Setera, I like Chicago, but I

175
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.159
don't Hey, what did you say? I like Peter Setera, I like

176
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:31.039
Chicago, but I do not agree. They should not be in place number

177
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.320
one on the billboards. They should
have a couple of zeros after that number

178
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.200
one last year year just a hater. Anyway, this is Back to the

179
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.600
Eighties Radio. When we come back, Tuskado and Chang have the much better

180
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:50.639
list. It's our own list of
the top songs of nineteen eighty nine.

181
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.120
Radio is so much different than it
was in the eighties. We had at

182
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.799
all the music, the movies,
the DJ's and morning shows. Back to

183
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.399
the Eighties Radio is a show from
the eighties in podcast form. We bring

184
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.679
the memories from that awesome decade back
John Joskanow and Chang every Friday as they

185
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.320
take you on a right back in
time, sharing their experiences and labs.

186
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.840
Stop on buy and discover some of
the wacky things this crazy duo comes up

187
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.480
with. They talk about it,
all the good, the bad, and

188
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.480
the ugly of the greatest decade.
Don't miss the greatest eighties podcast in the

189
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:26.120
world, Back to the Eighties Radio. Hey, this is Laurie Miller from

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:31.360
the first and original Expose and you're
listening to Back to the Eighties Radio.

191

All right, you're listening to Back
to the Eighties Radio. Here in the

192
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:41.639
background, arguing going head to head, toe to toe with the infamous Chang

193
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:48.039
because we are just talking and destroying
each other behind the curtain on our songs.

194
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.360
And you know what, We're gonna
make you participant and share in our

195
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:58.000
love and our anger for each other's
songs. So Chang, beast before beauty,

196
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.440
go ahead and give me your number
five songs. Are you ready?

197
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.519
Yeah? I guess because I'm glad. I'm glad you're gonna do this.

198
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.600
Technically we shouldn't even do this show. And I'll tell you why. First

199
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:12.919
of all, eighty nine everything started
going down the drain. Number two.

200
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.799
Is I already won the entire eighties
contest that we had. Yeah, I've

201
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:26.679
won eight and you've won two by
popular request and demand, okay of myself,

202
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:33.039
of course, of course, of
course. So now Seal the deal.

203
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.799
If you think you want this will
be your third win. If you

204
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:38.960
you know what, you might win
this year because I don't like this whole

205
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:44.320
list. So go ahead, okay, are you ready to go? I

206
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.519
may just forfeit so you can just
I just give you the win. That's

207
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.440
even better. Just do that now, so we don't even talk about the

208
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.600
list, all right, all right, go ahead, all right? My

209
00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:03.200
number five hits home with number four
three from the Los Angeles metal band Great

210
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:11.799
White with once Bitten twice Shy Boom
sauce point for me. Chang wins this

211
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:17.799
one already. Now, this band
Thief you gotta dig. This band was

212
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:23.200
reincarnated so many different times through the
years. They had that fire epis sold

213
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:29.079
Jack Russell the lead singer, taking
it here, taking it there. But

214
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:33.920
you know what, enough of that
point me and let's crank up that song

215
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:40.000
right there, number forty three on
the top one hundred Billboard Smash Hits of

216
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:44.599
eighty nine. And that is the
ever so great rock and roll band of

217
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.680
Los Angeles, California, Great White. You were listening to Tisconno and Chang

218
00:17:49.480 --> 00:18:00.519
once Bitten twice, Shy, that
was Great White, Once Bit Twice Shy

219
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.599
number forty three on the nineteen eighty
nine Billboard Top one hundred Hits. To

220
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.960
Scannell, you cannot give me a
song that is even a follow up,

221
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.599
even close to what I just did. You just can't you know I'm going

222
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.640
to give He's what's gonna happen.
First of all, once again, this

223
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:23.319
proves that you steal because you stold
one of my songs from my list.

224
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.839
But that's okay, We're all used
to that. But on a serious note,

225
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:33.440
this song is from the album Ian
Hunter, which is kind of an

226
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:40.680
interesting name for an album. This
was once Bitten Twice Shy from nineteen seven

227
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.640
d five. It was written and
recorded by Ian Hunter and his debut solo

228
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:52.240
Ian Hunter, which reached the UK
number fourteen in their Singles chart, and

229
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:57.039
then it was covered in nineteen eighty
nine by who none other than Great White,

230
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:02.400
So nobody knew that this song was
a cover song that they were doing

231
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:07.359
and it was from Ian Hunter from
nineteen seventy five. This will go and

232
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:15.640
prove to many generations that songs written
prior to the eighties, even they had

233
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:19.759
so much substance, they were so
unique, and it didn't take eleven or

234
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:25.440
twelve writers to write one paragraph.
And this song from Ian Hunter from nineteen

235
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.119
seventy five became a huge hit in
nineteen eighty nine from Great White, of

236
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.920
course, Now did you like that? Ben? I like the band.

237
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:37.160
I really liked this song. This
is one of those songs that got me

238
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:40.559
pumped up, you know, every
time I hear it. It's like listening

239
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:44.119
to, for example, of those
songs from White Snake, Here I Go

240
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:48.240
Again, or Panama or Jump from
Van Halen. Is that that type of

241
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:52.759
song that gets you pumped up?
Or like I Have the Tiger. It's

242
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.839
very similar in what I feel when
I hear those songs that, Yeah,

243
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:02.240
I really really liked those. I
remember buying a Great White very first EP

244
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:07.119
when they came out Out of the
Night. I think it had four tracks

245
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:10.200
on it. That was early eighties. They were a lot more hardcore rock

246
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:15.200
and roll back then. They were
even getting compared to sounds similar to Led

247
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.240
Zeppelin. But remember all you catch
and kiddies out there in YouTube, Tisconnoll.

248
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.559
Back in the eighties there was several
rock bands, metal bands that were

249
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:26.559
getting compared to Van Halen, which
Great White fell into that kind of little

250
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.759
rut also, But that was a
great EP. If you ever get a

251
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:34.359
chance to google that, download that
and I think you'll like that that EP

252
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.799
by Great White. Everybody out there, if you don't remember that, go

253
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:42.440
ahead and check that out and see
if you can get that very first cut

254
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:48.240
of that great band, Great White. Yeah Now is Yeah Now. This

255
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:55.160
is from the album Twice Shy from
Great White. You can find great songs

256
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.640
on this including on their B side
a song called slow Ride. So,

257
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:03.519
as Chank said, going over you
know, downloaded somehow and get your hands

258
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:10.079
on it and listening to listen to
these albums from beginning to end, here

259
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:12.920
we go. Are you ready for
mine? Number five? Number five is

260
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.000
not your cup of tea? And
I'm going to say, I'm going to

261
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.160
admit this tells you how much of
honesty and integrity I have, brother,

262
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:27.759
because I'm not. I don't think
it beats your number five, but it's

263
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:33.799
still a good song that falls in
to Billboards number eighty three and mine number

264
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:41.519
five from When in Rome with the
promise here on back to the eighties radio

265
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:56.119
on KHADS ninety two five, So
change. Did you know that this song

266
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:02.839
was written in only two days.
It was written by the three band members

267
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:10.559
It was Clive Farrington, Andrew Mann
and Michael Florelle and they wrote it one

268
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:15.079
day with the music, they brought
in some lyrics, and the very next

269
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:21.640
day they were finished with the song. So it's interesting that it took so

270
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:26.079
little to write this song, yet
it made such a big impact in the

271
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:30.039
radio world, coming in at number
eleven on the Billboard Hot Top one hundred

272
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:34.680
chart. So that's my pick for
number five on this list. Go ahead

273
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:40.440
and put another mark on my side
for victory after I read my song.

274
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:42.240
Okay, that'll be okay, I'll
get ready, I'll get ready, all

275
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.920
right, go ahead, let's hear. Let's hear your classy song. Wow.

276
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.440
Now you see the way you make
it sounds so cheap and dirty when

277
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:52.799
you say that, So you know
what, I'm gonna give it to you

278
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:56.759
all. Rkay. My other song
is by Lida Ford and the godfather of

279
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:03.160
metal, Ozzy Osbourne. It fell
at number seventy seven with if I Close

280
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:15.640
My Eyes Forever boom Don Victory is
my wow winning welcome back to back to

281
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:18.720
the Age radio. This is the
chang and that was lead a Ford and

282
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:23.599
Ozzy Osbourne with If I Closed My
Eyes Forever a song that a lot of

283
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:27.160
us probably had some tears coming out. It is a very sad song,

284
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:33.160
a very true to heart song.
I thought, wow, I was very

285
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.960
taken that Ozzie would do a ballad, would lead a Ford with content like

286
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:42.559
that. But then I also remember
Ozzy covering of the song changes with Black

287
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:49.480
Sabbath, which is another type of
a very emotional song on what an individual's

288
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:55.799
mindset is when they're left with that
final result of being alone, whether their

289
00:23:55.920 --> 00:24:00.839
mate left, or their mate passed
away, or someone that they loved passed

290
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:06.440
away. So I gotta tell you
that song my friend epic Leta Ford.

291
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:10.559
Of course, everybody knows she was
a guitar player for the Runaways, had

292
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:15.559
her own career kicked. Ask the
blonde bombshell guitar playing slinging. That song

293
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.799
kind of threw a lot of us
rockers for a loop. Wasn't one of

294
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.319
my favorites. I'm not a big
metal ballad guy. You know that,

295
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:25.559
for the love of God, def
Leppard sucks there. I said that,

296
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:29.559
Oh, come up, you had
to throw a stab at def Leppard.

297
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:32.480
They're not You're not even going to
mention him, and neither of mine on

298
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:36.359
the on our list, why bring
him out? Wow? Well, because

299
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:40.000
I saw the list and I just
saw a woow armageddon. Wow. What

300
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:42.160
a crappy song, what a crappy
band? Well? Did you know that

301
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:45.920
this song was written by both of
them, by Osbourne and Ford, and

302
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:52.079
it was the result of an accident
in the studio during which they both drank

303
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:57.240
so much they inadvertently wrote the lyrics
to the song together. And it's as

304
00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:02.519
a matter of fact, it's Lee
it Afford's highest charting single, peaking at

305
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:07.000
number eight on the US Billboard Hot
one hundred chart and eighty nine. However,

306
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.039
I didn't like this song and I
do not like I like the song

307
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.279
musically. I do not like any
song that talks about that has to do

308
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:19.119
with death. I don't like them. I just don't like it because it's

309
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:23.519
something that I try to stay away
from in my own personal life, anything

310
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.920
that has to that gravitates towards that. Even if it sounds good, I

311
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.279
do not like it. So you
know, we still play it on K

312
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:34.880
HiT's ninety two five. But yeah, I don't like it. But it's

313
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:40.119
not because of the music or the
talent, totally the opposite. I don't

314
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:44.680
like it for personal reasons, you
know, m that's understandable, and plus

315
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.640
it makes it brings up all kinds
of emotions of people who have passed on

316
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:49.480
that you love, you know.
Yeah, that was my next point.

317
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:53.640
And I think a lot of us
we need to acknowledge that because that is

318
00:25:53.720 --> 00:26:00.960
part of life. But a lot
of us need to kind of get away

319
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.000
from that, you know what I
mean, and think of more positive things

320
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.359
in better times. Lord knows,
we have a lot of people out there

321
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:15.279
suffering from depression and other emotional setbacks, to where a good poppy song or

322
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:19.279
a song that is positive is always
better. That song is truly a sad

323
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:23.200
song. And now that you mentioned
they were drinking heavily, no wonder such

324
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:29.079
lyrics came out because alcohol does cloud
the mind to a certain degree. My

325
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:32.960
friend, Well for my next song, all right on the list, my

326
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.240
number four falls into place number fifty
eight on Billboard's top one hundred, and

327
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:42.640
that is nothing and no one else
but Tears for Fears with sowing the seeds

328
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:45.319
of love. Talk to you more
about that in just a second. Here

329
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:52.000
I'm back to the eighties radio.
Okay, it's ninety two point five that

330
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:56.519
was sowing the Seeds of Love by
Tears four Fears, a song that incorporates

331
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:00.720
a number of musical styles and recording
techniques, of course, but more importantly,

332
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:07.400
this song was written during election in
the UK and it had an interest

333
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:12.440
in politics in socialism at the time
of its release, and it was considered

334
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:17.920
to be one of the most overtly
political songs that Tears for Fears had ever

335
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:23.200
recorded, and the lyrics refer to
Thatcher's election win with politician Granny with your

336
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:29.680
high ideals, have you no idea
how the majority feels? So it's an

337
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:33.799
important It is a political song and
it goes to show you one more time

338
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:38.519
how in need we are today today
of songs like this and many others that

339
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:47.079
talk about reality. But unfortunately society
doesn't allow doesn't allow that because we don't

340
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:48.960
want to get involved, or we
don't want to hurt somebody else's feelings,

341
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.319
or or the other side just says, you know what, you got to

342
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:56.599
respect everybody, so therefore we don't
talk bad about anybody, or we don't

343
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.200
make anybody feel bad. Now,
I think, I think that when to

344
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:03.240
be a little bit tougher than that, we need to go back to back

345
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.799
to the beginning, Great Song for
Me, Tears for Fears, swing Sea,

346
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:12.119
good pick, good pick, that's
right, that's right. But one

347
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:21.519
well you got. I got this
point because it's better than death. You're

348
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.519
right, you're right. I'll give
you that point, but a half point

349
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:30.599
because you cannot that band cannot beat
Aussie alone. Are you ready? Are

350
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.799
you ready? I guess go ahead
now. Although the chang did not like

351
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.039
this band because they were a bunch
of pretty boys and they did look like

352
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:40.640
a bunch of white lions with that
beautiful blonde hair. Fell in at number

353
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:45.759
sixty from the band White Lion when
the Children Cry, very sad song.

354
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:52.000
Thanks, grab yourself some tissue,
Yeah, crank up the volume, bring

355
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.480
us down with your ears too.
Some White Lion with when the Children Cry

356
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:03.160
Right Here at god Ka hits two
five, where we keep the eighties music.

357
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:11.599
Blah blah. I should have stayed
home. Welcome back to back to

358
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:18.400
the eighties radios. That was White
Lion with when the Children Cry, Oh

359
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:25.160
to Scannell that song Holy crap,
that songs su song? Wow? Really

360
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.720
now you know some do say it
sucks now that I found the band did

361
00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:32.880
suck, but that song kind of
pulled them our heartstrings. Every now and

362
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:36.880
then the chang likes to have his
heartstrings pulled, and that one anything and

363
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:41.880
any time back in the eighties,
the discussion of children, whether it be

364
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:45.839
my own or someone I knew,
or children of another country, and the

365
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:52.480
turmoil that we've seen our politics get
us into, that song is very befitting

366
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.200
when you were a parent or somebody
that just cares a lot about mankind.

367
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:03.160
You know what you think about when
you hear such a devastation in other countries

368
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:07.400
or on our own country. Everybody
forgets about the children. Yeah, and

369
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:14.720
that song just always reminds me of
that. No matter what fiasco it takes

370
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:18.720
me to in my mind of history, I always think about, what about

371
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.160
those poor children over there? You
know they're they're they're scared, they're crying,

372
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:27.599
you know, they're looking at life
is a lot easier. It's supposed

373
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:32.000
to be filled with fun and play. Great song by White Lion bro No,

374
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:33.559
it's it's a really good song.
And you know when I said it

375
00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:38.640
sucked, it's because of the sad
implication here, but it's totally true.

376
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:44.519
When asked Mike Tramp's childhood is involved
in this, he said he was around

377
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:48.799
five or six when his father left
him and his mom with three boys.

378
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:52.240
So without a doubt his own story
was in there. But the song.

379
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:56.839
What's in writing in this song about
no more presidents and all the wars are

380
00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:00.359
going to end at the time that
Ronald Reagan was a president? Just powerful,

381
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:06.319
powerful lyrics, powerful songs, and
uh, like I just mentioned before,

382
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:11.039
we need more of this today.
All right, Well, thank you

383
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:14.640
for bringing us down. Remind me
that when somebody feels down not to go

384
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:21.440
to you for song requests, because
yeah, thanks a lot, Thanks a

385
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:27.160
lot. I was already feeling gloomy. Anyway, Let's go onto my pick

386
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:33.200
to make it a little bit smoother
in these times. Because falling into place

387
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:40.599
and number three on Billboard's Top one
hundred and falling into my number three is

388
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.559
Michael Jackson with Smooth Criminal on the
one and only Back to the eighties radio

389
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.759
and Kate HiT's ninety two point five
Don't go Away, We'll be right back.

390
00:31:53.319 --> 00:32:01.000
That was Smooth Criminal Michael Jackson from
his album Ad from nineteen eighty eight

391
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:08.200
recorded Release Man Fantastic Beat as everything
else he did. Roll you know that

392
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:14.359
song is Diamond classified correct, yep, Rolling Stone four time platinum YEP.

393
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.720
Rolling Stone wrote that it was his
best blend of R and B groove and

394
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:22.640
rock edginess, and it was a
turning point in his shift toward the little

395
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:28.480
bit darker and harder edged material that
he did. So Michael Jackson, the

396
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:31.839
king of pop? Would you expect? I just won the entire show with

397
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:35.839
this song? No, thank you, appreciate it. Let's send the show

398
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:39.519
here back to the eighties radio.
Thank you for joining us. Wow,

399
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:45.160
I picked that song too, make
tie. The show has to continue too.

400
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:47.839
Too bad. I didn't hear from
you. I know you really picked

401
00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:54.480
share. Oh if I can turn
back to job, all right? It

402
00:32:55.160 --> 00:33:00.920
is a very big fun, big
Jeffy. It's a very big, fluffy

403
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:06.559
fun. Why's the beef? Some
hamburger place to give you a lot less

404
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:08.799
beef on a lot of bund where's
the bee at? Wendy is? We

405
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:13.720
have a hamburger we modestly call the
single and Wendy is he has more beef

406
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:19.319
than the Whopper or Big Macwendyd You
get more of bealand less bundy. I

407
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:24.160
don't think you want something better.
Your windy is kind of people, ladies

408
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:29.920
and gentlemen. I'm shadow Stevens,
and you must listen to Back to the

409
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:37.240
Eighties Radio. It's the law.
There you go. Are you ready for

410
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:42.839
my number two? Numberless? I
am continuously ready to hate on your choices.

411
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:45.960
That is excellent. I love it. I love the hate. I

412
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:50.119
love the hate, to feel the
hate, I can penetrate the hate.

413
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:55.480
My number two falls in here at
number eighty six on the Billboard Top one

414
00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:02.200
of nineteen eighty nine with another great
Los Angeles rock and roll band, hometown

415
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:07.800
of yours truly Tuscanno and Chang.
And this one slides in from Guns in

416
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:15.800
Roses, the third greatest band out
of Los Angeles besides Vanhalen and the Doors.

417
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:22.760
And my track is Paradise City.
You keep it locked and loaded right

418
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:27.239
there. You are listening to Back
to the Eighties radio right here at k

419
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:30.960
hits not at two five, and
you are sitting in with Tuscano and Chang.

420
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:34.760
Let's keep this thing going quickly.
Let me make some confetti. Oh,

421
00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:40.320
I can enjoy my vide That was
Guns and Roses Paradise City. And

422
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:45.599
you were listening to Back to the
Eighties Radio hosted by Tuscano and Chang as

423
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:51.119
we slam glam through a nineteen eighty
nine Billboard top list, as we usually

424
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:54.719
give you their top five, which
usually sucks, and the greatest list you'll

425
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:59.760
ever want to listen to coming from
yours, truly, Tuscano and Chang,

426
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:05.719
especially Chang six victories in a row. You know, for someone who says

427
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:12.079
and claims, do you have a
deep hate for axel rows, you do

428
00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:16.119
tend to bring up their music quite
a bit. Well, the music is

429
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:21.679
not the man. Oh oh no, no, in this case, it

430
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:23.639
is him. How could you even
stand listening to his voice? If you're

431
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:28.639
so mad at him? It's easy. I just put my Chuck Chasers on,

432
00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:30.960
and I admire my new ones because
they're bright white, and I go

433
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:34.480
back to them. Oh I should
have beat the hell out of that midget,

434
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:37.039
But I like his music. If
I ever saw the guy would say,

435
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:39.559
hey, remember the ease, and
then I would kick him. Writing

436
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:45.039
the throat with him the last thing
you would see for a song. My

437
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:52.480
choice that falls into my category number
two fell into number number sixty eight in

438
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:58.000
the Billboards Top one hundred. This
is the Cure with Love, the one

439
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:02.800
in holding back to the eighties radio
and Kay HiT's ninety two five We're back

440
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:07.440
notes back to the eighties radio This
is the one and only, one and

441
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:15.320
only the Cure with the song called
love Song. Now chang need I say

442
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:19.800
more? Anytime you bring up the
Cure, my tain't hurts. I cannot

443
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:35.480
stand that you know this song is. This song is from the album Disintegration.

444
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:38.840
I wish it would disintegrate. It
was, of course a little bit

445
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:44.199
gothic post punk. It wasn't a
song that was trying to be clever,

446
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:49.760
but it took Robert Smith ten years
to reach the point where he felt comfortable

447
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:52.719
singing a very straightforward love song.
I wish you would have waited ten and

448
00:36:53.280 --> 00:37:00.480
this it's just a classic reminder that
even bands that you would at least fact

449
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:07.159
could take something and create something just
beautiful, such as the lyrics from the

450
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:12.440
Love Song and the uncomparable voice of
Robert Smith. Of course, oh my

451
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:20.000
god, I can see you took
your sissy pills earlier this it became the

452
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:25.239
band's only top ten entry in the
Billboard Top one hundred, and it charted

453
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:30.599
in number eighteen in the UK,
in the top twenty in Canada and in

454
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:38.800
Ireland, and it's been in movies
from fifty first dates and even was performed

455
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:44.760
by Adele in her twenty eleven album
called twenty one. There you Go,

456
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:50.679
There you Go. I just wont
you went from such a woosy hartist as

457
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:54.159
Robert Smith, and then you mentioned
Adele the lady. Every time she breaks

458
00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:59.239
up with somebody or she has something
traumatic happened, she cuts a great album.

459
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:04.320
Amazing. Yeah, she's she's a
great artist. Yes, I guess

460
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:10.239
so. But she likes the Cure
like you, so of course, good

461
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:13.880
lord, all right, did you
like that? I knew you're gonna like

462
00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:20.360
it. Oh, that song made
my taint hurt. I'll tell you what,

463
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:23.000
while you're getting some ice for your
taint, let's take a quick break,

464
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:28.920
and when we come back, we're
gonna hear number one. And don't

465
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:32.760
forget, we do have a very
special guest today coming in, of course,

466
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:42.239
Sandy k from the Breath of Fresh
Air radio show. Don't gonna be

467
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:45.000
good. It's gonna be good,
don't miss it. All right, bring

468
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:54.800
us back, bring us back with
who's in number one? They sure aren't

469
00:38:54.800 --> 00:39:00.920
the Cure. Okay, welcome back
to back to the as and I the

470
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:08.360
Chang. I'm going to give you
my number one, No Moss number one

471
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:15.360
pick and it fell in at oh, such a high number, toscato number

472
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:21.639
seventy. The disrespect that this artist
got, and also on that note,

473
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:28.880
the overlooking this artist took. In
the eighties, such a phenomenal guitar player

474
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:36.639
played with Steve Ravan, BB King
Uh, Jeff beck Uh, and the

475
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:40.519
guy used to sit down on a
chair to play his guitar. You have

476
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:45.519
any ideas who this great guitar player
no longer with us is? Who is

477
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:54.239
it? Who is it? Number
seventy falls in from the Jeff Healy Band

478
00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:59.920
with Angel Eyes. You keep it
locked and loaded right there to k hits

479
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:04.599
not at two five. You keep
on the stroll in the role with Back

480
00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:08.360
to the Eighties radio. Let's take
some Jeff Healey, I'm a passing onto

481
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:15.559
Welcome back to Back to the Age
radios. As the chang you were listening

482
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:20.679
to Angel Eyes by the late great
Jeff Healey and the Jeff Healy Band saw

483
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:22.639
him play with Steve A. Vaughan
back in the eighties. The dude was

484
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:29.159
awesome. It's my number one song. But evidently the billboard the creators of

485
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:37.880
this do not know real musitions that
was off the album Legacy Volume one.

486
00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:43.719
What a great, great, great
song. Most of that album was written

487
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.960
by him and Fred Caller. Good
god, what a great song. What

488
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:52.199
a great guitar player sorely missed.
Very incredible that he could play that guitar

489
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:57.880
and he was blind, you know
what I mean. We have Ray Charles

490
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:00.679
Stevie Wonder you know what I mean. And every time you see an individual

491
00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:07.760
that is kind of handicapped, I
don't like to use that word, but

492
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:13.880
has some type of a physical effect
to where they're not as everybody else.

493
00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:22.880
Always seems that they withhold some of
the greatest talents and special qualities rather than

494
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:28.800
people that can see, that can
walk, talk, see here, you

495
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:31.800
know, And a lot of times
people categorize them as handicapped. That's why

496
00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:35.039
I say, I said, I
don't like to use that word, but

497
00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:39.960
really, are they handicapped or are
they just special and stronger and other avenues

498
00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:44.800
of their Yeah, you know,
Jeff Healey came out of the movie Roadhouse

499
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:49.480
with Patrick Swayze, Sam Elliott,
and he came out as a character named

500
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:52.199
Cody. So you can catch him
playing at the bar there. Remember that

501
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:57.159
movie very very well. However,
it's not my cup of team man.

502
00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:01.760
I don't like anything that really sounds
a little to uh country is. It's

503
00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:06.679
just not my personal choice. I
did like some country back in the eighties,

504
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:10.159
the Oakridge Boys, Alabama and stuff
like that, but um yeah,

505
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:14.440
the Jeff Helee band No wasn't my
cup of tea. So I gotta take

506
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:22.239
two points away from me. Sorry
anyway, please anyway. Wow, Hey,

507
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:28.679
I didn't see that coming. Wow
wow. Wow. This is coming

508
00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:31.599
from the man who makes fun of
def Lepper's drummer. All right, I

509
00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:37.440
gotta have that, all right,
all right, we're gonna start getting hate

510
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:40.280
mail. It's bad enough of our
thumbs down. All right, my number

511
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:46.079
one sucks. My number one is
going to just uh Look, all I'm

512
00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:52.840
gonna say is the singer of this
song from this band alone. She doesn't

513
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:58.239
have to open her mouth to sing
a single lyric, and she already won.

514
00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:01.119
This song that I'm going to talk
about right now became number one hit

515
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:06.920
in nine countries, including Australia,
suiting the UK. In the United States,

516
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:10.519
the Eternal Flame by the Bengals here
on Oka hits ninety two point five

517
00:43:10.519 --> 00:43:15.800
on Back to the Eighties Raga Back
to the Eighties Radio. That was the

518
00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:20.960
Eternal Flame by the Bengals with the
ever so lovely, the ever so talented,

519
00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:27.880
my childhood fantasy even up till now, the ever so beautiful Susannah Hoffs.

520
00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:30.239
So, what do you think of
the eternal Flame? Because this was

521
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:34.119
one of those songs that I can
hear over and over and over and over

522
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:37.679
and over again, and it's like
a mesmerizing song. Now, I have

523
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:42.079
to hand it to you, that
song does not beat my song. But

524
00:43:42.199 --> 00:43:45.719
yes, you have to give it
to the Bengals. They were a pretty

525
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:49.119
solid band. When I explained to
you why this song was made, you're

526
00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:52.360
gonna eat your words. Okay,
it was made because they had to fill

527
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:58.159
some time. No, it was
not. No, because they're paying high

528
00:43:58.320 --> 00:44:04.800
ends to the music. The metaphor
of eternal flame was suggested by two eternal

529
00:44:04.840 --> 00:44:08.719
flames chang one at the grave side
of Elvis Presley at Graceland, where the

530
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:14.679
Bengals had been given a private tour, and Susannah Hoff said, we were

531
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:16.519
taken out to the Garden of Memories
and there was a little box which was

532
00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:22.119
supposed to have a lit flame and
eternal flame, and it was all about

533
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:28.400
that little flame that was out that
should have never have gone out. God,

534
00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:30.519
Now who's calling? Now? Gosh, dang it. We're almost done

535
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:35.039
with the show and now that somebody's
calling back to the Idish radio on k

536
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:38.920
Hits ninety two five. Who is
this? Hey? Man? Are you

537
00:44:38.920 --> 00:44:44.320
doing Suscontell this is me man.
I heard you mentioned my name a little

538
00:44:44.320 --> 00:44:49.880
bit. Is this Save Red Bodies? King? Mama? This is a

539
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:53.519
Elvis Presley singing up here in heaven. Ah, I was listening to the

540
00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:58.719
radio show. I heard you mentioned
my name. Oh Man, the Bengals,

541
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:00.159
you know, Man, back in
my day, I would have banged

542
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:07.519
them all bang Looking. How said
you got permission to call our show out

543
00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:10.599
of the millions of radio shows around
the world. Well, man, uh,

544
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:15.280
the reason I called this show is
because I love both the chis Konjo

545
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:20.079
and Chang were dear tomorrow. So
you've been liking my list, right?

546
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:22.559
Do you approve that I've been winning
every single show? Actually, I think

547
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:27.280
you're a pump assess. And uh, I don't like all of your songs.

548
00:45:27.639 --> 00:45:30.719
I don't like all the Chang songs. Sometimes I think you guys are

549
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:36.599
a little bit too wi. All
right, well, what do you think

550
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:39.480
of What do you think of Susannah
Haff singing Eternal Flame. Well, I'll

551
00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:44.599
tell you right now, Susannah Hoff, I'm not a big particular fan of

552
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:49.480
you know their music. You've been
hanging around with Chang too. My music

553
00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:52.960
is the best music. And I
actually think if I would have lived into

554
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:59.039
the eighties, this list that you
fellas go through tim and tell them again,

555
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:05.320
which consists of all my songs and
only ten songs. Yes, everybody

556
00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:10.079
knows after the King of the Beatles
music died, Can I get some more

557
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:15.840
than pills and a goddamn cours liud
Man? Ellis you sign a little out

558
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:19.360
of breath? Elvis? Uh?
He got you on a treadmill up in

559
00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:22.760
heaven. Jesus has put me on
the treadmill, and I said, hey,

560
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.679
hey, hey, Jesus, christ
Man, can't be on this treadmill

561
00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:30.000
too long? And I bring it
in boys, where's the Memphis Mafia head?

562
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:36.920
Oh evil, oh so evil?
Anyway, I gotta get out of

563
00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:42.440
here. Heaven's calling my name.
Just kind of remember, ladies and gentlemen,

564
00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:45.239
I was here. You ever want
to take a family trip, go

565
00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:50.599
down to Graceland, go see my
daughter Lisa Marie and a beautiful ex wife

566
00:46:50.599 --> 00:46:53.800
and some of those other hors I
slept with back there. I gotta go,

567
00:46:54.400 --> 00:47:01.760
Oh my god, Elvis, presently
the ladies and Chang. I can't,

568
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:06.679
can't believe Elvis. You missed?
Elvis. What's going on? You

569
00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:07.639
know what? Man? I had
a feeling he was going to call in

570
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:12.079
when I went to the restroom.
And that's funny because I was I was

571
00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:15.079
humming. I don't want to know
what you were humming in the restroom.

572
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:22.159
That's okay. I was humming and
I was thinking about a hummer. You

573
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:25.840
know, I want to buy a
hummer ones in the eighties. All right,

574
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:30.840
let's get back to the list before
we get carried on here, Ah,

575
00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:32.920
the list that I want? Yes, yes, okay, So that

576
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:37.840
was my number one. And now
it comes down to the wire. Let's

577
00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:45.960
see which one is going to reign
supreme for our bonus song of nineteen eighty

578
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:49.079
nine. But first, let's go
ahead and take a breather. When we

579
00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:52.039
come back, they will be our
bonus round here. I'm back to the

593
00:49:40.119 --> 00:49:44.679

594
00:49:44.719 --> 00:49:46.880

eighty nine on Billboard's Top one hundred and

597
00:49:55.880 --> 00:50:02.559
We let's do something different. Let
us mention what the worst song of the

598
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:07.239
entire eighties was? For you and
for me? I'll go first. If

599
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:13.639
you want, I will go first. I think the most repulsive song I

600
00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:17.039
have ever heard in all of the
eighties, and it is extremely popular today.

601
00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:21.360
The bad thing about is I don't
hate it as much as I used

602
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:25.119
to, and that is none other
than the song by the B fifty twos,

603
00:50:25.159 --> 00:50:29.079
the Love Shack. I do like
some of the B fifty two,

604
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:31.159
but I have to agree that song
did suck. Every time that song came

605
00:50:31.159 --> 00:50:35.760
out, I wanted to cut the
lining of my speaker so I wouldn't have

606
00:50:35.800 --> 00:50:38.800
to set my ears to such pain. That was a crappy song, my

607
00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:44.760
friend. How many crappy songs did
we have to suffer through in the nineteen

608
00:50:44.920 --> 00:50:46.880
eighties as a whole decade? Yes, it is, as everybody knows out

609
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:51.880
there. I was not a big
glam metal fan either, and there's dozens

610
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:55.320
of glam metal bands I don't like
in thousands of glam metal songs that I

611
00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:59.559
hate. But the number one song
that I hate, now, this is

612
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:06.679
of the out of the entire nineteen
eighties, belongs to this individual. Had

613
00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:10.199
it not been for MTV, nobody
would know him except maybe he could have

614
00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:15.760
been a stunt double for Elton John
with bad Hair. And that is no

615
00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:21.840
other than Thomas Dolby and the crappy
song She Blinded Me with Science. Oh,

616
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:24.880
I hated the song. I hated
the video. I hated the sight

617
00:51:25.079 --> 00:51:29.960
of that guy. I hated the
old man in the video She Landed Me

618
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:37.599
with Science. I love that song
because you know what when that song came

619
00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:39.280
out. It came out The first
time I heard it was on KOQ in

620
00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:44.320
Los Angeles, and they used to
play that song a lot. It's from

621
00:51:44.360 --> 00:51:47.880
their album The Golden Age of Wireless. Yes, I loved She Blinded Me

622
00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:54.440
with Science, and I still love
that song. That song makes me a

623
00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:59.119
swallow my own vomit. That's how
bad I hate that song. All right,

624
00:51:59.280 --> 00:52:04.360
Well, we just mentioned is the
worst song from all nineteen eighties decade.

625
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:07.760
Now what is your worst song?

629
00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:30.199
the entire decade of the eighties now
back to our list. We are on

630
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:35.800
our bonus round and Chang, this
is your last song for the entire decade.

631
00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:40.079
Make it a good one in spite
of Billboard's Top one hundred crappy song

632
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:44.239
choices. Or are you ready for
my song? Now? I know you're

633
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:45.760
gonna hate it, and I already
do. I haven't even heard it.

634
00:52:46.639 --> 00:52:52.679
I love that. I love that
you are so keen and perceptive to pass

635
00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:59.280
onto the hate of Oh my god. Yes, well, this song from

636
00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:02.280
this artist, as you know,
play the play the drums in a great

637
00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:08.599
famous band from Los Angeles also and
this song falls in that number ninety nine

638
00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:16.679
on the Billboard Top one hundred hits
of that year. Eagles frontman drummer Don

639
00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:23.400
Henley with a song that is so
befitting to this show, this decade and

640
00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:29.000
a lot of the memories that you
and me have stirred up four people or

641
00:53:29.079 --> 00:53:31.920
have stirred up on our own.
And this song is none other than this

642
00:53:32.639 --> 00:53:37.400
is the end of Innocence. You
are listening to Back to the Eighties Radio.

643
00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:44.320
This is Tiscano and Chang. Welcome
back to Back to the Eighties Radio

644
00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:49.000
from k Hits nine at two five, where we keep the eighties, viable

645
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:53.239
Alive. This is the chang Yes
claiming victory once again as I have defeated

646
00:53:53.679 --> 00:53:59.960
my partner in crime, Tiscano Tuscano. What can you say about that song?

647
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:04.800
Don Henley nailed it with solo albums
throughout the eighties. First of one

648
00:54:04.840 --> 00:54:12.360
of the greatest harmonizing country rock bands
out of Los Angeles during the seventies with

649
00:54:12.440 --> 00:54:17.440
the Eagles, Don Henley. That
is rock, royalty, rock greatness.

650
00:54:17.599 --> 00:54:23.320
Now, that is California home grown, top of the top of the shelf

651
00:54:23.960 --> 00:54:30.320
greenery as you can get. I'm
gonna reserve my comments and I want everybody

652
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:32.400
to know this, and I'll tell
you my reasons for this. First of

653
00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:40.679
all, the reason why you heard
such a short even clip on podcast is

654
00:54:42.360 --> 00:54:47.960
because of mister Don Henley's comments himself
saying that he will sue anyone who doesn't

655
00:54:47.960 --> 00:54:53.320
have permission to play his music personally, so we can only play his song

656
00:54:53.920 --> 00:55:00.480
on k hits, and I do
it reluctantly, and for that reason alone,

657
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:05.559
I reserve my comments on what I
think of him and the Eagles.

658
00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:08.679
Now, this is a band that
I used to enjoy listening to, but

659
00:55:08.800 --> 00:55:15.880
after listening to the comments and pretty
filled with hate. It's not just a

660
00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:20.199
matter of Look, if you don't
play my songs without permission, I'm gonna

661
00:55:20.199 --> 00:55:22.960
see you. It's not just about
that. It's what he was saying.

662
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:24.760
You got to find it at some
interview. I'm going to reserve my comments

663
00:55:24.760 --> 00:55:28.440
on Don Henley. How's that because
you don't want to hear it. You

664
00:55:28.480 --> 00:55:30.559
don't want to know what I really
think, and we'll leave it at that.

665
00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:34.599
Anyway, I applaud you, Yeah, I applaud you. So I'll

666
00:55:34.599 --> 00:55:38.239
say it for you. He sucks
for his comments. He's an egotistical jackass,

667
00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:44.119
lost in the past. He's bitter, gotten older. The Eagles are

668
00:55:44.159 --> 00:55:47.519
no more, He's not relevant,
So of course he's going to want to

669
00:55:47.599 --> 00:55:52.239
go ahead and slash everybody that wants
to listen to his music, of course,

670
00:55:52.280 --> 00:55:54.719
because he's not going to go out
there and make great hit music anymore.

671
00:55:55.159 --> 00:55:59.119
So I'll say it for you.
Yes, I think he's a pompous

672
00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:00.400
ass. Yes, I'm a big
fan of the Eagles. I'm a fan

673
00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:04.599
of Don Henley's music. But what
he stands for as a human being and

674
00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:07.639
what he said with his comments,
Yes, he's a degenerate jackass. That

675
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:10.519
is a little bit too old and
bitter. There. I said it for

676
00:56:10.719 --> 00:56:14.679
you, and I said it out
of the way that I would like to

677
00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:17.400
out of my heart. Good.
Good, good, because that is ten

678
00:56:17.480 --> 00:56:22.639
times less of what I think anyway. Very good. So let's go on

679
00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:28.760
too, let's go. Let's go
into my bonus round. And with this

680
00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:31.559
song, I am going to destroy
your entire list. And the reason I'm

681
00:56:31.559 --> 00:56:35.559
going to destroy your entire list,
can you give me? I assume I'm

682
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:37.199
going to vomit with your pick?
Hold on, Okay, I'm ready to

683
00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:40.239
go. Hold on, all right, hold on, let me get the

684
00:56:40.239 --> 00:56:45.159
bar bag ready? All right?
Is your bar bag ready? Yeah?

685
00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:49.480
All right, listen, so let
me let me tell you my pick.

686
00:56:49.639 --> 00:56:55.079
All right, you're hyperventilating already.
This song ranked at number one on Billboard

687
00:56:55.800 --> 00:57:01.239
Top one hundred and number five on
the Mainstream Rock charts from the album New

688
00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:06.760
Jersey, then a hit in nineteen
eighty nine. This is number thirty nine,

689
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:09.880
Born to Be My Baby. Back
to the eighties. Okay, it's

690
00:57:10.039 --> 00:57:15.440
ninety two five. This is back
to the eighties. Okay, hits ninety

691
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:17.440
two point five. That was bon
Jovi with New Jersey, a song that

692
00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:22.159
was done in all black and white
on their video from the New Jersey album

693
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:27.400
when it was launched on MTV.
It was a very very very low budget

694
00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:30.599
video shot only in the studio,
but that's all they needed because this song

695
00:57:31.360 --> 00:57:37.519
rocked. This is a song that
stands out and bon Jovi used to sing

696
00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:42.559
it when he could sing at every
concert. So this is this is one

697
00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:46.840
of their great songs. Born to
Be My Baby and thank You. I

698
00:57:49.320 --> 00:57:52.679
just won. I just won the
entire list. Thank you. Find your

699
00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:59.599
homage to bon Jovi very misty eyed
for me, because it's about time that

700
00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:08.679
his voice finally caught up with the
music, as in it sucks. You

701
00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:13.400
know, would be great if one
day, maybe I don't like those comments

702
00:58:13.400 --> 00:58:16.199
that Chang's always making about me.
He can't come and need at my restaurant.

703
00:58:19.639 --> 00:58:21.719
This is back to the eighties radio. We're gonna take a break when

to you that we have a very
special guest direct from Australia, a wonderful

710
00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:55.920
young lady by the name of Sandy
K who's produced and presented her own show

711
00:58:57.119 --> 00:59:00.239
called A Breath of Fresh Air.
It's been air instance May of twenty twenty

712
00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:05.000
and the program is now a regular

journalist a broadcaster, so follow her passion

714

Fresh Air radio show and podcast. It's

715
00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:16.920
such a pleasure. I know you're
on the other side of the world for

716
00:59:17.039 --> 00:59:20.320
us. Thank you for taking the
time to be on back to the eighties

717
00:59:20.400 --> 00:59:24.000
radio. Hey, my absolute pleasure
to be with you. You are in

718
00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:29.360
charge of a music magazine. Fill
us in on the details. We kind

719
00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:32.400
of forget what is a music magazine. What is your music magazine? In

720
00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:37.679
particular because on your podcast site,
I know one of the phrases that you

721
00:59:37.039 --> 00:59:40.840
say it's a deep dive into the
hits. So talk to us about your

722
00:59:40.920 --> 00:59:45.239
music magazine. It's cold, as
you said, A Breath of Fresh Air

723
00:59:45.719 --> 00:59:51.000
and it originally started out as a
radio show which was pretty fast paced six

724
00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:55.840
minutes an interview, six interviews every
hour, and on it went. I

725
00:59:55.920 --> 01:00:02.440
built this fifty two minute show that
now features three guests. My first segment,

726
01:00:02.679 --> 01:00:06.639
and I tend to concentrate. As
you said, it's a deep dive

727
01:00:06.679 --> 01:00:10.000
into the hits, but it's specifically
the hits of the sixties, seventies,

728
01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:14.360
and eighties, the music that I
grew up with, that so many of

729
01:00:14.360 --> 01:00:17.719
our listeners grew up with, and
for me that they were the best times

730
01:00:17.719 --> 01:00:22.280
in music. I think they were
the best times. Whether I grew up

731
01:00:22.280 --> 01:00:24.639
in that era or not. They
haven't really made as good music since.

732
01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:30.480
But the guys that I was completely
enamored with when I was fourteen, fifteen,

733
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:35.039
seventeen years old, I started reaching
out to them during the pandemic when

734
01:00:35.039 --> 01:00:38.480
I began a breath of fresh air
and I wanted to talk to them.

735
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:43.880
I wanted to find out what makes
them tick, what went on behind their

736
01:00:43.920 --> 01:00:47.400
songs, what they're doing these days, how they're faring, how the lives

737
01:00:47.440 --> 01:00:52.480
that they've led leading up to this
point have worked out for them, whether

738
01:00:52.519 --> 01:00:55.800
they've got regrets, whether whether they're
happy with the way things went. So

739
01:00:55.960 --> 01:01:01.559
just a really warm fireside chat with
as any of my favorites and my listeners

740
01:01:01.599 --> 01:01:08.000
favorites as possible. My first segment
concentrates on old guys in inverted commas who

741
01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:13.480
are making new music. So we
do talk about the new music out there

742
01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:19.360
today, but it's from the acts
of the sixties, seventies, eighties,

743
01:01:19.360 --> 01:01:22.559
probably more so seventies and eighties,
who are making new music today. The

744
01:01:22.599 --> 01:01:28.840
second segment concentrates on one hit wonders
and I love I'm a journalist, Mario,

745
01:01:29.239 --> 01:01:32.400
and one of the greatest skills that
I've developed over forty years and the

746
01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:39.559
profession is the ability to find anybody
anywhere. I was researching and finding tracking

747
01:01:39.599 --> 01:01:45.039
down people a lot of the big
names when I produced for radio years and

748
01:01:45.119 --> 01:01:49.400
years ago before the Internet started,
and my kids look at me to day,

749
01:01:49.400 --> 01:01:52.559
ain't go how did you ever do
anything before the Internet. But we

750
01:01:52.679 --> 01:01:54.800
did. We had a telephone,
and we had a phone book, and

751
01:01:54.880 --> 01:02:00.280
we had you know, local stores
in local towns that you'd call and you'd

752
01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:05.599
go step step, step step until
you found that person. So it's relatively

753
01:02:05.639 --> 01:02:09.519
easy finding people today. So one
hit wonders. I like to dream up

754
01:02:10.000 --> 01:02:15.000
all of the one hit wonders that
I remember from back in the day and

755
01:02:15.159 --> 01:02:20.079
find where these guys are now.
So I've found lots of them, people

756
01:02:20.199 --> 01:02:23.199
like some of them might be too
old for you to remember, but there

757
01:02:23.239 --> 01:02:27.400
was Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs. Who did I think that was the

758
01:02:27.480 --> 01:02:30.119
first record I ever fell in love
with. It was a song called Little

759
01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:34.079
Red Riding Hood. There was a
guy called Jim Stafford who did the song

760
01:02:34.159 --> 01:02:38.360
Spiders and Snakes Free to Paine who
did Band of Gold. So a lot

761
01:02:38.440 --> 01:02:43.320
of them that were super hits at
the time. I've tracked them down,

762
01:02:43.360 --> 01:02:45.760
found them. So what are you
doing today, guys? How are you

763
01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:50.920
faring today? Merrily Rush she had
a fabulous one hit wonder called Angel and

764
01:02:51.000 --> 01:02:54.119
the more Angel of the Morning.
Yeah some song, So it's like who

765
01:02:54.119 --> 01:03:00.000
done. Merrily Rush lives on a
farm. She's bred horses all her life

766
01:03:00.199 --> 01:03:05.920
since that hit. She does occasionally
still before. They've all got wonderful backstories,

767
01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:09.079
and I couple those with the music
to kind of take everybody back.

768
01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:14.760
And the final segment of my show
belongs to my listeners. That's their chance

769
01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:17.880
to request the artists that they'd like
to hear from. So whether it's a

770
01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:22.679
one hit wonder person that they want
to track down, or whether it's an

771
01:03:22.840 --> 01:03:25.320
artist they may not have heard of
or thought of for years and years.

772
01:03:25.760 --> 01:03:30.400
They can just write to me through
the website and that is a breath of

773
01:03:30.440 --> 01:03:34.639
freshair. Dot com dot au you
have to put the AU on for Australia

774
01:03:34.760 --> 01:03:37.880
and say, do you I haven't
heard from X for so many years.

775
01:03:37.880 --> 01:03:39.840
I wonder what they are up to, and I'll do my very best to

776
01:03:39.840 --> 01:03:45.079
track them down and find them.
So I've found people like Ray Stevens.

777
01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:51.360
We caught up with him. We
caught up with Randy Backman from Backman Turner

778
01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:54.360
Overdrive and the guests who to see
what he was up to. I caught

779
01:03:54.440 --> 01:04:00.440
up with George Thoroughgood, the original
bad boy of rock and roll. Elvis

780
01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:03.880
Costello I had on recently, Gordon
Lightfoot. I tracked him down. He

781
01:04:04.039 --> 01:04:10.119
was a huge favorite of so many
people. I think of all the stars

782
01:04:10.119 --> 01:04:15.239
that I've interviewed, his fan base
is the largest and it always surprises me.

783
01:04:15.440 --> 01:04:21.280
I put up a Facebook post of
Gordon Lightfoot and it literally skyrockets thousands

784
01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:26.559
upon thousands and thousands of people like
or comment on it. So we had

785
01:04:26.559 --> 01:04:29.599
a chat to Gordon Lightfoot, I
mean, and many of these guys are

786
01:04:29.840 --> 01:04:33.440
really getting on. So Gordon's like
eighty three years old. Now. I

787
01:04:33.599 --> 01:04:38.039
talk to Chris Franz from Talking Heads, not that he's that old, but

788
01:04:38.079 --> 01:04:43.440
he was another one. Somebody requested
Yea and Wilson from Heart Steve Lucather from

789
01:04:43.480 --> 01:04:46.079
Toto. We caught up with him
to see how Toto was going, and

790
01:04:46.119 --> 01:04:50.440
he was backmaking music again, and
his son had joined him, and lots

791
01:04:50.480 --> 01:04:54.800
going on in his life. Mike
Campbell, who used to play with Tom

792
01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:58.239
Petty and the Heartbreakers. He now
has a band called Mike Petty and the

793
01:04:58.280 --> 01:05:02.079
Dirty Knobs, who you probably same
play around. Sure, so that's what

794
01:05:02.199 --> 01:05:06.119
I do. I love. I
spend my entire week chatting to all of

795
01:05:06.159 --> 01:05:11.639
these guys, much to the chagrin
of my partner, who says, you're

796
01:05:11.679 --> 01:05:15.880
always working, you never have time
to talk to me. You not really

797
01:05:15.000 --> 01:05:19.239
is interesting, Sandy. When I
heard your show the very first time,

798
01:05:19.960 --> 01:05:25.519
anybody who's a broadcaster from a prior
lifetime, let's say, can tell the

799
01:05:25.559 --> 01:05:30.400
difference between a podcast and a radio
show, although it's presented in the podcast

800
01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:33.079
platforms or forms, right, and
so when I heard yours, it was

801
01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:38.760
literally sincerely, no pun intended,
it was a breath of fresh air for

802
01:05:38.880 --> 01:05:42.320
me. Let's talk radio a little
bit and go kind of far back.

803
01:05:42.599 --> 01:05:45.239
This is, you know, a
show of the eighties, but we'll kind

804
01:05:45.239 --> 01:05:47.639
of mix it up here. Talk
to us a little bit about your experience

805
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:51.400
in radio. You know when you
first started, and you know where it's

806
01:05:51.440 --> 01:05:57.159
going now. I hate to admit
it, but I started in radio in

807
01:05:57.239 --> 01:06:02.480
about nineteen seventy eight. I ran
away from a law degree at university.

808
01:06:02.800 --> 01:06:06.760
My father was so disgusted that I
left this what was going to be this

809
01:06:08.039 --> 01:06:13.360
profitable professional career, and I wanted
to join the media, and I ran

810
01:06:13.400 --> 01:06:17.119
away. And anybody who knows Australia
will know the Gold Coast here in Queensland.

811
01:06:17.679 --> 01:06:23.559
And I was such a stupid young
idiot. I took a pretty girlfriend

812
01:06:23.599 --> 01:06:27.000
with me and we approached the program
and director on the Gold Coast and I

813
01:06:27.039 --> 01:06:29.159
said, have you got any worked
for us? I was kind of the

814
01:06:29.199 --> 01:06:33.159
mouthpiece, and she was this beautiful, blonde, gorgeous looking girl, and

815
01:06:33.239 --> 01:06:36.440
we were pretty young, and he
said to me, well, I've got

816
01:06:36.440 --> 01:06:40.920
one job. You know, I
need kind of those promotion girls. You

817
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:44.280
know that we're the sash and bikinis
and go out on the beaches and do

818
01:06:44.400 --> 01:06:46.239
the callbacks to the station going,
you know, come down here. We've

819
01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:49.280
got prizes, and I said,
you know what, we'll take the job.

820
01:06:49.599 --> 01:06:53.719
I was too stupid to even realize
that that would mean that we would

821
01:06:53.840 --> 01:06:59.000
share the wage. And we had
a great time. But we staved for

822
01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:01.480
just over year before I gave that
one up. That was my first foura

823
01:07:01.599 --> 01:07:05.400
into radio, but I loved it. I loved the immediacy of radio.

824
01:07:05.840 --> 01:07:10.800
I then got a job to in
traffic reports, and it was in the

825
01:07:10.880 --> 01:07:14.480
days when you know the traffic well, it wasn't as heavy as it is

826
01:07:14.519 --> 01:07:18.559
now, and certainly traffic reports were
just at their very early formative stages.

827
01:07:19.199 --> 01:07:24.400
So I hassled this news director for
three months solid. Every single day I

828
01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:28.559
would ring him I'm tenacious if nothing
else, and I would ring him.

829
01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:31.480
Finally, after three months he was
worn down quite some and said, all

830
01:07:31.559 --> 01:07:34.480
right, Sandy, come in.
You can do a shift on do the

831
01:07:34.519 --> 01:07:39.320
traffic for us. I got on
the radio. I didn't know a thing

832
01:07:39.360 --> 01:07:43.599
about doing traffic reports, and I
started telling them all to stay off this

833
01:07:43.679 --> 01:07:46.360
road because this was how I wanted
to get home, so they should go

834
01:07:46.440 --> 01:07:50.920
another way. And I just played
with it somehow he liked it. A

835
01:07:50.960 --> 01:07:54.880
few weeks later he said to me, would you like to read the news?

836
01:07:55.159 --> 01:07:57.440
I said, yeah, sure,
I'd love to read the news.

837
01:07:57.639 --> 01:08:00.079
I mean, I had tried to
become a train journalist. At the time.

838
01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:04.360
There was only a school that would
take thirty students from the whole country,

839
01:08:04.360 --> 01:08:08.280
and they didn't want me, so
I had to learn on the job.

840
01:08:08.320 --> 01:08:11.400
It was very sink or swim.
I started reading the news. And

841
01:08:11.519 --> 01:08:16.199
also in those days, female voices
on radio were unheard of. The male

842
01:08:16.439 --> 01:08:21.840
jocks would say that female voices were
much too high to be broadcasting. They

843
01:08:23.000 --> 01:08:27.640
needed to be out in the secretary
or room. Really yeah, so it

844
01:08:27.680 --> 01:08:31.119
was a totally male newsroom. I
got on here and started reading the news

845
01:08:31.119 --> 01:08:35.359
in the only way I knew how. And I had a massive revolt in

846
01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:41.560
the newsroom over the next few weeks
because all of these serious national sort of

847
01:08:41.720 --> 01:08:46.279
NPR type journalists Yeah yeah, and
they all said, if you don't sack

848
01:08:46.560 --> 01:08:50.239
this girl, we're all resigning.
We will leave you with the newsroom with

849
01:08:50.319 --> 01:08:54.159
no people in it. And the
poor news director, who really loved my

850
01:08:54.279 --> 01:08:57.720
kind of irreverent, off the wall
type style, said to me, look,

851
01:08:57.760 --> 01:09:00.199
I'm sorry Sandy, I have to
let you go. Wow. Way

852
01:09:00.239 --> 01:09:03.960
to manipulate the situation on those guys. I drove home on that road that

853
01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:10.359
i'd told everybody to clear off a
few weeks earlier, with tears streaming down

854
01:09:10.359 --> 01:09:13.760
my face. I'd been five for
the very first time. As it turned

855
01:09:13.800 --> 01:09:17.000
out, that made the newspapers.
I got picked up by a rather radical

856
01:09:17.079 --> 01:09:23.239
broadcaster at the coolest radio station that
was the most hip radio station at the

857
01:09:23.279 --> 01:09:28.720
time, and I started researching there
and he taught me a lot about researching

858
01:09:28.760 --> 01:09:32.439
and reaching out for people and writing
and producing segments and doing all of that.

859
01:09:32.760 --> 01:09:39.079
So I've been doing it for a
long long time. My next firing

860
01:09:39.159 --> 01:09:43.319
happened when I worked as a producer
for a morning announcer at another radio station.

861
01:09:43.359 --> 01:09:45.960
And you'd know yourself, Mario,
that radio was such that you would

862
01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:50.000
just hop from one radio stat That's
exactly what it is. You'd be in

863
01:09:50.039 --> 01:09:54.319
one job for six months, you
jump across to another station, you jump

864
01:09:54.399 --> 01:09:58.079
somewhere else. It was a very
fluid industry. People were moving around all

865
01:09:58.079 --> 01:10:01.800
the time. Turnaround was incredible.
Yeah, and you always got another job

866
01:10:01.840 --> 01:10:05.159
because there was only x amount of
people that were actually working in it.

867
01:10:05.199 --> 01:10:11.439
Incompetent. But when I worked in
this one radio station producing for the morning

868
01:10:11.439 --> 01:10:17.039
host, I loved to reach out
to the US to find big name acts

869
01:10:17.079 --> 01:10:21.239
for as guests for this host.
He was doing morning radio, and you

870
01:10:21.279 --> 01:10:25.399
know, I wanted to find the
best of the best for him. But

871
01:10:25.520 --> 01:10:30.159
in those days, when you use
the telephone from Australia to America, it

872
01:10:30.399 --> 01:10:32.600
cost a fortune. Of course,
it must have been like seven or eight

873
01:10:32.600 --> 01:10:38.079
dollars a minute or more. So
they sacked me because I ran the telephone

874
01:10:38.119 --> 01:10:41.039
bill up too high. I did
get the guests. I remember I was

875
01:10:41.039 --> 01:10:45.600
the only person to bring Mickey Rooney
onto the line, to bring Mohammed Ali

876
01:10:45.720 --> 01:10:48.319
on as a guest. I had
all sorts of guests going on, but

877
01:10:48.399 --> 01:10:51.840
they couldn't afford the phone bill.
So when you asked me how it's changed,

878
01:10:53.119 --> 01:10:56.720
that's certainly one way. You know, everybody here who loves the eighties,

879
01:10:56.800 --> 01:11:00.359
especially who listened to any kind of
eighties radio show, always brag about

880
01:11:00.760 --> 01:11:04.000
how great it was back in the
eighties, how radio was back in the

881
01:11:04.039 --> 01:11:06.600
eighties. And I remember when I
was a kid, and all of us

882
01:11:06.600 --> 01:11:11.399
who grew up back then, we
always used to want the DJ to shut

883
01:11:11.479 --> 01:11:15.439
up you know, because they would
talk over the intro and we you know,

884
01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:17.439
we had the ghetto blasters, the
tape players. We'd like to record

885
01:11:17.720 --> 01:11:21.520
and we'd be like, holy smokes, just shut up. We have noticed

886
01:11:21.960 --> 01:11:27.439
how important it is for there to
be a radio personality, and we don't

887
01:11:27.439 --> 01:11:30.800
have that anymore as we did.
What about in Australia did you did you

888
01:11:30.840 --> 01:11:33.000
find that you used to identify,
like, oh, I gotta listen to

889
01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:36.840
the radio at a certain time because
that's when my person is coming on.

890
01:11:38.560 --> 01:11:41.319
Absolutely well, I think we're exactly
the sime. What you need to know

891
01:11:41.319 --> 01:11:45.319
about Australia is that we took the
best from America and the best from the

892
01:11:45.479 --> 01:11:49.720
UK and a little smattering of our
own little culture and put it all together.

893
01:11:49.800 --> 01:11:55.199
So we were getting stuff from everywhere
and we were emulating both all the

894
01:11:55.239 --> 01:11:58.840
stuff in the States and the stuff
in there. You must have great radio.

895
01:11:59.319 --> 01:12:02.880
We had all awesome radio. We
had fabulous personalities. But unfortunately,

896
01:12:02.920 --> 01:12:05.800
what there is today and I don't
know if it's the culture in the States

897
01:12:05.880 --> 01:12:12.800
now too, is that all the
morning or actually all the radio personalities as

898
01:12:12.840 --> 01:12:17.239
they are today are comedians. They're
all stand up comedians. Yeah, we've

899
01:12:17.279 --> 01:12:21.520
got that. However, what's happened
here in the United States, you know,

900
01:12:23.039 --> 01:12:28.159
is with all this political correctness and
you can't really say anything to offend

901
01:12:28.199 --> 01:12:32.640
anybody anymore. Everybody's afraid to say
anything. So the type of comedy is

902
01:12:33.159 --> 01:12:38.439
you can't compare it. I mean, you cannot say what For example,

903
01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:41.439
even what we say I'm back to
the eighties radio, we wouldn't be able

904
01:12:41.479 --> 01:12:44.640
to say it on FM radio.
We'd be shut down, we'd be fired.

905
01:12:45.199 --> 01:12:48.159
So, yeah, I hear you. It's losing a lot, and

906
01:12:48.239 --> 01:12:51.800
you talk about the demise of radio
as such. I mean that's partly the

907
01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:55.479
reason for it. It used to
be Ir Reverend. It used to be

908
01:12:55.640 --> 01:12:59.920
fun, and you're one hundred percent
right. It used to be personality driven

909
01:13:00.319 --> 01:13:03.680
and music as well. It was
just a great combination. And I think

910
01:13:03.920 --> 01:13:09.399
that that's where the podcasting industry is
going. All the people that get on

911
01:13:09.439 --> 01:13:12.439
there that want to give podcasting a
go, and it's a free for all

912
01:13:12.479 --> 01:13:15.960
for everyone, as we know,
but all the ones that kind of drone

913
01:13:15.039 --> 01:13:18.439
on and just like to hear the
sound of their own voices and don't really

914
01:13:18.479 --> 01:13:23.680
seem to be giving the audience anything. I think they are going to Taylor

915
01:13:23.800 --> 01:13:29.119
off and just kind of fade away. My prediction will be that podcasting will

916
01:13:29.199 --> 01:13:33.279
be the next radio, that all
those fem stations, AM stations and the

917
01:13:33.399 --> 01:13:38.600
like will kind of just fade into
the background, and more and more people

918
01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:43.079
will get into podcasting. I mean, there's already so many of different ages,

919
01:13:44.239 --> 01:13:47.359
but I think we're in for Boomtown. Tucked us about the Eadies music

920
01:13:47.439 --> 01:13:50.960
and tucked us about, well,
what made it so great? It was

921
01:13:51.000 --> 01:13:58.680
so energetic, it was so alive, it was so out there. I

922
01:13:58.800 --> 01:14:01.920
just came in yesterday for seeing a
preview of the new David Bowie movie.

923
01:14:02.000 --> 01:14:06.840
The documentary that's been done on him
and David Bowie in the eighties kind of

924
01:14:06.880 --> 01:14:12.760
really represented where music was at.
We'd gone through the seventies the sixties with

925
01:14:12.840 --> 01:14:16.760
all the peace and love and everything, and it had to reinvent itself again.

926
01:14:17.159 --> 01:14:25.159
So the talking heads, David Burns
and all of those sort of people

927
01:14:25.359 --> 01:14:28.840
were trying to reinvent music one more
time, and they had to get more

928
01:14:28.960 --> 01:14:32.960
out there than what the seventies have
been. They had total freedom of expression

929
01:14:33.560 --> 01:14:38.000
and they could go in any direction
that they wanted to go, So whether

930
01:14:38.039 --> 01:14:42.680
it was following the punk movement or
whether it was following the soft rock movement

931
01:14:43.199 --> 01:14:46.680
or whatever, but they were creating
a whole new genre that became eighties,

932
01:14:46.720 --> 01:14:50.640
So people like Katrina and the Waves, and I think the eighties actually saw

933
01:14:50.760 --> 01:14:56.520
more female singers fronting bands too.
Katrina from Katrina and the Waves told me

934
01:14:56.560 --> 01:15:00.760
that when when she first started,
she was the feature of the band simply

935
01:15:00.840 --> 01:15:05.600
because she was female. So that
was a whole trend that started to Chrissy

936
01:15:05.680 --> 01:15:11.199
Hind and the Pretenders, a whole
bunch of them that got out there.

937
01:15:11.359 --> 01:15:15.159
The female voice was getting more accepted
and people could go anywhere they wanted with

938
01:15:15.279 --> 01:15:19.520
music. What is it that you
like most about eighties music? The variety,

939
01:15:20.039 --> 01:15:24.479
a different freshness, a taste.
You know, we had that famous

940
01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:28.720
side B of records that nowadays people
going what the heck is a side be?

941
01:15:29.279 --> 01:15:31.039
They didn't say what the heck is
a record? So we had that

942
01:15:31.159 --> 01:15:34.239
said B that you go, oh
oh oh, I didn't know they had

943
01:15:34.239 --> 01:15:38.279
this song when you know when it
played on the radio. It was just

944
01:15:38.359 --> 01:15:43.880
that fresh variety, and for me, listening to music had so much of

945
01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:47.600
that. It was the time also
when all of those genres were actually named,

946
01:15:47.640 --> 01:15:53.880
weren't they that you could classify each
Yes, the pigeonhole themselves, that

947
01:15:54.079 --> 01:15:58.840
they all just started new categories.
Yeah, it was a very exciting time

948
01:15:58.880 --> 01:16:01.479
for music. What do you think
music is going now. I think that

949
01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:05.319
we've seen it come full circle.
I think that it was kind of lost

950
01:16:05.680 --> 01:16:10.600
for quite a while, as you
said, post nineties, it kind of

951
01:16:10.640 --> 01:16:14.520
lost its way, and I don't
think that the kids growing up in those

952
01:16:14.560 --> 01:16:19.720
generations will remember music as fondly when
they've grown up from that era as we

953
01:16:19.800 --> 01:16:24.640
do from ours at all. But
I think now that it's I think everything

954
01:16:24.760 --> 01:16:28.439
cyclical. Life is cyclical, and
I think it's kind of coming back.

955
01:16:28.479 --> 01:16:31.840
So you see the revival of all
these sixties type sounds that a lot of

956
01:16:31.880 --> 01:16:36.000
new guys are doing, the seventies
sounds about the eighties sounds are kind of

957
01:16:36.279 --> 01:16:42.840
coming back again too by a new
generation of musicians. So I think we're

958
01:16:42.880 --> 01:16:45.119
into a whole new cycle again.
Yeah. It's interesting that you see that

959
01:16:45.199 --> 01:16:50.760
because now we see children, and
I literally mean children wear in shirts from

960
01:16:50.840 --> 01:16:54.199
artists from the eighties. They have
no idea who they are. They just

961
01:16:54.239 --> 01:16:57.880
think it looks cool. But a
lot of it is due to television in

962
01:16:57.960 --> 01:17:00.960
Hollywood, because of Stranger Things,
the TV series and things like that,

963
01:17:01.680 --> 01:17:06.560
but also thanks to people like you
that take their time to get these guests,

964
01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:11.039
that take the time to do the
research and to ask the questions and

965
01:17:11.119 --> 01:17:16.720
to make people understand and introduce those
eras that in a way are not known

966
01:17:16.800 --> 01:17:21.520
by the newer generation. I can't
thank you enough for what you're doing with

967
01:17:21.560 --> 01:17:27.600
a Breath of Fresh Air and keep
that up. And I hope that we

968
01:17:27.720 --> 01:17:31.079
get the chance either to go to
Australia or for you to come over and

969
01:17:31.520 --> 01:17:35.159
pay us a visit, because we
would love to sit down and do a

970
01:17:35.199 --> 01:17:40.199
show together. Yeah, that sounds
like a great idea. Mario, I'm

971
01:17:40.239 --> 01:17:42.479
hoping to be there next year.
That would be good. If you get

972
01:17:42.520 --> 01:17:46.279
here sooner, definitely let me know. I would absolutely love that. And

973
01:17:46.319 --> 01:17:49.680
it's so good that we're both keeping
the music of the sixties, seventies and

974
01:17:49.800 --> 01:17:55.920
eighties alive and introducing it to new
generations. I just love that opportunity,

975
01:17:55.960 --> 01:18:00.199
and I'm grateful to you for having
me on the show and for letting your

976
01:18:00.199 --> 01:18:02.239
listeners know about my little show of
Breath of Fresh Air. Thank you for

977
01:18:02.279 --> 01:18:06.960
having me. That's a breath of
Fresh Air with Sandy K. Go out

978
01:18:08.000 --> 01:18:14.199
there and listen to her. Now, we'll be right back. You're listening

979
01:18:14.279 --> 01:18:20.840
to back to the Eighties, No
or awesome, it's on to the eighties.

980
01:18:23.159 --> 01:18:27.159
This is back to the eighties radio. That was Sandy K that you

981
01:18:27.279 --> 01:18:30.760
heard from the Breath of Fresh Air
radio show and podcast of course, don't

982
01:18:30.760 --> 01:18:35.000
forget to catch her on every podcast
platform that you listen to your shows on.

983
01:18:35.680 --> 01:18:43.039
As we say goodbye to the eighties
in Billboard fashion, of course,

984
01:18:43.359 --> 01:18:48.000
we've spent a lot of time,
many weeks talking about Billboard's top songs and

985
01:18:48.119 --> 01:18:51.520
our top songs for the eighties,
and we know that we love and we

986
01:18:51.600 --> 01:18:56.520
hate some songs. It all forms
a part of an era, of a

987
01:18:56.560 --> 01:19:00.760
time that will never be again.
This is the soundtrack good are bad.

988
01:19:00.279 --> 01:19:03.720
It's all the soundtrack of our life. And with this, I want to

989
01:19:03.800 --> 01:19:09.199
leave you guys with steel Heart and
she's gone. And remember that this is

990
01:19:09.239 --> 01:19:13.359
a decade that has made a mark
in our life, to the point that

991
01:19:13.520 --> 01:19:17.239
even now we continue to talk about
there's a whole new generation getting to be

992
01:19:17.319 --> 01:19:21.880
able to discover the eighties. Even
our listeners, our listeners in the groups

993
01:19:21.920 --> 01:19:26.439
that even go to high school,
are listening to us So having said that,

994
01:19:26.600 --> 01:19:30.359
Chang talk to you next week.
Ladies and gentlemen, before we release

995
01:19:30.439 --> 01:19:33.920
you to another chang tastic week,
remember to be strong and never ever give

996
01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:39.079
up. Remember you matter. Always
stand up for yourselves or stand up for

997
01:19:39.199 --> 01:19:43.800
something bigger than yourselves. And yes, we say goodbye to the Billboard Top

998
01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:48.399
one hundred list of the eighties.
And as Tiscano said, the saying goodbye

999
01:19:48.399 --> 01:19:53.640
to this list, it's not saying
goodbye to our show, just a part

1000
01:19:53.760 --> 01:19:57.800
of our past, part of our
history. For a lot of us out

1001
01:19:57.840 --> 01:20:02.199
there that are from the eighties,
eighties will always be our youth, our

1002
01:20:02.319 --> 01:20:09.960
strength, our fun are good,
are bad, our hard, greatest memories

1003
01:20:10.439 --> 01:20:15.159
of our lives and the eighties for
the old Chang will always be that youth

1004
01:20:15.479 --> 01:20:19.600
that I remember and my children.
God bless all four of my kids out
