Good evening, everybody keeps Stevens here
for radio station KDRC. Tonight,

9
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.039
we have a great host. I
mean I'm the great host. Sorry,

10
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.039
I was looking to the mirror.
We have a great kiss coming in tonight.

11
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.640
His name is Harold SaaS. Now
he is one of the more highy

12
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.840
decorated individuals from the radio business.
But he sits a little bit up top.

13
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.960
He wears a suit and he's got
a nice car. Boys and girl,

14
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.039
las and gentlemen coming to the show. Please give a round to applause

15
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.000
from mister Harold's as Harold Zaks.
We're joining me in studio, Bud.

16
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:08.439
How you doing you look shot.
Hi, Trent, how are you?

17
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:14.400
Oh? No, the name's Kid. But I'm doing a really great Trent.

18
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.439
Hey. You know my stepdad's famous. I'll try to remember that now,

19
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.439
Harold. Hold on, I'm going
to talk to my Hey, David,

20
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.599
I'm talking to my assistant Brooke.
Okay, David, do we have

21
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.239
a kip on our payroll? We
do? That's okay, all right,

22
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.560
that's okay. You'll be fine,
He'll be fine. Go ahead, Harold,

23
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.879
Harold, Now we played a song. I don't know if you're familiar

24
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.280
with it. It was a band
called The Babies. Are you familiar with

25
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:46.519
that band? The Baby's that into
the musical trans back in the seventies and

26
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.879
carried off into the eighties. Was
this the rapper who killed a nineteen year

27
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:55.560
old in a Walmart one time?
No, hey, Harold, nobody told

28
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.719
me you were quite the kidder.
No, back to seriousness. No,

29
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.239
I had nothing. No. I
was talking about the great band, the

30
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.840
Babies. That's what I was talking
about. Now, now you know I

31
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.319
never heard of them, Skippy listen. Unlike the eighties, where music was

32
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:15.840
original and creatively, Harold's taking over
his old show. Unlike the eighties where

33
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.840
music was original and you know,
created to musically by the bands, written

34
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:25.280
by the artists themselves, and performed
mostly themselves, except except of course,

35
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:29.560
mentally Venili, which, by the
way, we do agree is a better

36
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:35.599
model. Today we have molded you
know, we've designed children to understand that

37
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.599
everyone can be a star, and
we've got great shows to prove it.

38
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.840
We've got America's got talent, Britain's
got talent, Jamaica's got talent, We've

39
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.479
got Australia's got We've got all the
talents possible. We've got the voice and

40
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:53.800
shows as such. But there's more
if they can't. I'm okay, now,

41
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.879
okay, Harold, No, I
know, hold on, Harold,

42
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.639
like a one quick Question's call Irene
Key's in Kansas Please call me sir.

43
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:06.240
By the way, Harry, can
I call it sir? Now, Sir,

44
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.039
Harold, we have an Irene from
Kansas City. And he asks this

45
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.240
question. Yes, and it says, dear Harold, don't you think that

46
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:19.759
a reality TV and all these gimmicks, pretty bells and whistles of reality TV

47
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:27.280
finding artistry and true talent is merely
of facade and basically everybody's going off the

48
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.960
sex appeal and how sexy an individual
looks while performing nonsense. As a matter

49
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:36.520
of fact, let me explain,
if these children of today can't make it

50
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.439
to one of our fantastic shows,
then they can post their own videos on

51
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:45.199
YouTube and become anything they want,
because at least that's what we want them

52
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:46.719
to feel. You know, we
want the kids to feel that they can

53
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:51.919
accomplish anything. It's good to make
them feel better about themselves. You know,

54
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.080
even if they're not going to be
anybody important or famous, they're all

55
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.719
winners in our book. Okay,
now, Harold, no great, beautiful

56
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:04.000
stay, but you did not answer
Irene's question. Shall I read her question

57
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.719
again to you? Or or I'm
sorry, go ahead? Can't go ahead?

58
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:15.040
Read it again? Oh? Of
course? Now never let the viewers,

59
00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:19.079
okay, know that these shows are
scripted, and I mean we actually

60
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:24.199
know that whoever has the status life
story and whoever is the most attractive physically

61
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.680
gets usually picked. Of course we
do. We do try to give the

62
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.160
less fortune to looking with a chance
to get in once in a while,

63
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.560
to hey, to help maintain a
healthy balance, if you know what I

64
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.079
mean. Now, there is a
key point in your own statement. What

65
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:40.519
was it Bryson Ah Harold. Once
again, the name is Kim and Irene's

66
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:46.000
question was, as my question and
many others, do you not think that

67
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:51.959
the shows that you are promoting and
producing are merely a fiction of the talent

68
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:58.040
mind? No, I think it's
total nonsense. I think it's not the

69
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.759
real information. As a matter of
fact, I know real information. Nobody

70
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:05.480
knows more information than I know information. But let me say this, these

71
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:11.720
people, they don't even everything is
one hundred percent technology. Almost every artist

72
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.279
today is just blessed to have and
to use auto tune. Gone are those

73
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.360
days of performers using their own actual
voice and God given talent. I mean,

74
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.319
we do have engineers for that,
and hell, even our own engineers

75
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.279
were from home and they don't even
need all that ugly analog equipment for the

76
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:31.040
past. All the instruments are in
our computers. My friend, you know,

77
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.879
Larry Oh, you gotta get with
a program. We're in twenty one

78
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:39.240
and a half. Okay, you
understand. As a matter of fact,

79
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.920
listen, Tony, listen, listen. There's seven things that make radio greade

80
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.199
today. Do you want to hear
this? This is why I came on

81
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.560
the show. All right, So
Richard listen. Seven things that make radio

82
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:56.279
greade today. Number one, more
commercials in PSA's because we care. Number

83
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.600
two, less talk by the radio
personality because people want to hear the music

84
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.680
that plays. Win commercials are over
number three. Our salaries to the top

85
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.040
five air talent, by the way, is over seven digits. The rest

86
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:11.040
of the DJs as you call them, can be happy with making less than

87
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.759
forty k a year because they're perfectly
happy that they're famous. Plus, public

88
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.120
believes that all on air employees make
great money, and we don't want to

89
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.680
ruin that. Let me get a
question out, Harry. Now, I

90
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:28.839
clearly understand why your name is Harry
Sash. You know no punch excuse me,

91
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:35.079
it's Harold Harold, Harold Sass,
Harry SaaS. It doesn't matter because

92
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:40.000
at this point I think some of
my listeners think that you are Harry Ass

93
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:45.639
because you have declined any questions.
You have not answered any question. You

94
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.959
have not even answered the number one
question from the first caller I did.

95
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:55.160
I said it was nonsense, and
yes, but it was nonsense. You

96
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:59.319
did not bother to think about her
point of view. Well, you got

97
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.279
to keep in mind, Chuck by
the way number four. If you want

98
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.240
to know, the overwhelming audience is
only one here. The new genre,

99
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.800
the new overwhelming genres hip hop.
Number five. Ninety seven percent of all

100
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.000
radio stations are owned by US,
the big five corporations in the US.

101
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.639
And guess what, that's what makes
America great again, capitalism at its best.

102
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:23.480
Mab yes, that's right. Yes, Now, let me just let

103
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.959
you know the last two, because
I did have seven points number six.

104
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.199
Playlists are about fifteen to seventeen songs
per hour, and all we do is

105
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.160
just repeat them all day, every
day at least six months before we take

106
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:38.000
five songs out replace them with one
new one. And of course it's got

107
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.759
to be hip hop, and that's
the name of the game. And the

108
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:42.959
last, but not least, of
course, I know you wanted to know,

109
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:47.279
Steve, we have great triple X
rated jocks that can handle the business

110
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.560
of putrefying your kid's brains. And
if the kids do a don't listen to

111
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:55.720
our great stations, then we just
take them to YouTube social media where they

112
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.000
can waste their little lives away.
I mean, it all works because we

113
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.360
probably owned him to all social media, so you see, it works out

114
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.399
for our benefit. They have a
blast believing that they're important to the world.

115
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:13.000
I love America and love what we've
become. Now you've obviously interviewed yourself,

116
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:18.319
Harold Ben and we're running out of
time on our segment here, so

117
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.480
I'm going to go ahead and thank
you for coming to the to the show.

118
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.199
I want to thank you again on
behalf of our listeners that didn't get

119
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:30.279
a question in, or I didn't
even get a question in, but we

120
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:35.679
welcome you. Harold's ask This has
been Kip Stevens and you were rocket of

121
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.360
rolling right here at k w RP. And we're going to take it out

122
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.000
with something that's right. Let's all
go back to the eighties and here's something

123
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.919
from the who eminence in front.
Thank you, Harold Sason. Have a

124
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.360
great night. You sound a lot
like a president that we ejected. Oh

125
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.120
that's great. Let's go back to
the eighties. Yeah, I ain't got

126
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:24.360
another meeting to go to. You
are listening to back to the eighties radio.

127
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.720
This is Tiscano from Tisconno Went Chang
and we are here every single Friday

128
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.480
for your listening leisure. I'm so
glad that we get a chance to be

129
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.120
with you. I want to thank
you guys for listening from all over the

130
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.440
world, from the east, from
the west, from the south, from

131
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.600
the north, every single place around
the world. We just want to say

132
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:48.120
thank you for making Back to the
Eighties the greatest eighties radio show in the

133
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:54.240
world. However, it's not just
me, because right next to me is

134
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.879
a man, a myth, and
a legend, not only in his own

135
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.320
mind, but in his own room. He is a man that has eaten

136
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:11.120
more skittles than et here and Back
to the Eighties. We lovingly refer to

137
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.279
him as the Chang Chang. How
the heck are you, my friend?

138
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.840
Oh, it's kind of such a
great intro, and I just want to

139
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.759
welcome everybody here to the show.
Welcome to Back to the Eighties. Yes,

140
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.679
it is I the Chang, as
he said, the legend in my

141
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.919
own mind, the master of my
own sexual preferences, and everybody's favorite boy

142
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.480
to boy. How is everybody doing
out? They're your own fantasy. You're

143
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:43.679
your own sexual fantasy, of course, especially if I'm wearing leather. Now,

144
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.159
many of my times in Hollywood and
I would fancy the leather. I

145
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:52.080
would sometimes walk by his store window
and get erecked just by watching myself pass.

146
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.840
But that's another story. You mean
you'd stand up straighter. I am,

147
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:00.159
well, of course, as straight
as it can be. Now,

148
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.679
remember we can't straighten out a banana, my friend. You I've tried.

149
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.480
I want to thank you guys.
What's again for joining us here back to

150
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.480
the eighties. This is just kind
of a change. We have a great

151
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:15.600
show for you today because we're gonna
be talking about the top ten songs from

152
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.799
nineteen eighty five. Top ten songs
from nineteen eighty five. Don't go away

153
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.200
because when we come back, we
got a great program. So don't go

154
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.360
nowhere. Don't you dare go anywhere? All right? Friday, alright,

155
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:33.879
Friday, alright, party, alright, time, right, we get QUI

156
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:41.480
if you're ready, let's go.
Hey, some of you remember the eighties?

157
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.480
Five right, Well, it lives
loud and proud. On back to

158
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:52.639
the eighties with my pals to Scotto
and Chang. If you can't wear a

159
00:11:52.759 --> 00:12:03.320
spandex jumpsuit, what can you do? This star to the eighties? All

160
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.279
right, but everybody, welcome back
to back to the eighties. Is his

161
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:13.240
chang of Toscano and Chang. Tonight
we're talking about top ten Tunes of nineteen

162
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:18.519
eighty five. Now, nineteen eighty
five was a great a great year in

163
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:24.639
music and all genres of music,
and U some nostalgia. In nineteen eighty

164
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.799
five, the Chicago Bears did win
the Super Bowl. Uh, Mike Ditka

165
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:37.360
did give the only running touchdown to
William fat Fridge Perry rather than giving it

166
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:43.240
to Walter Payton. Just going on
a record and that that drives me insane

167
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:48.120
because I was a big Sweetness fan. But I might diehard lost. I'mjelus

168
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.360
Ram fan. But that's one pet
peeve that I've always had. Also,

169
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.720
in nineteen eighty five, my first
daughter, Vanessa Christen was born. So

170
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.360
what do you think of that?
Ah, that's awesome. Well, beautiful

171
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.399
daughter, my friend, beautiful daughter
from a beautiful father. There you go.

172
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.799
Well nineteen eighty five. It's funny
because we were off off air and

173
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.320
I was talking to Chang and I
said it wouldn't it be great to go

174
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.919
back? And he goes not to
nineteen eighty five the Chicago Bears won the

175
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:24.200
Super Bowl. He still like the
way I brought that into the show.

176
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.080
Yeah, I like that. I
like that. However, we're gonna be

177
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.519
talking about the top ten songs of
nineteen eighty five. Now you may disagree.

178
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.600
You may have your own top ten
list. You may have a top

179
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.559
ten list that you read somewhere,
maybe on a Rolling Stone magazine. But

180
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:45.840
today we're gonna be discussing the top
ten list that appear on Billboard's Top one

181
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.360
hundred, and we're gonna be talking
about whether we agree or not here starting

182
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.960
with number ten. The original song
was, of course recording nineteen eighty four,

183
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:58.639
and it took at least two or
three versions before it released in the

184
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:07.120
United Kingdom. And of course I'm
talking about a band who was a Norwegian

185
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:13.399
synth pop band, the band Ha
Ha, and the song is take on

186
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.200
Me. Oh good lord, how
I hated that song. I think that

187
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.399
was made. You know. It's
one of those songs that they played to

188
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.840
death on the radio today. Yes, And don't get me wrong, I

189
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.679
do enjoy the song, of course
I do, because it's very reminiscent of

190
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.440
the eighties. But Ah Had is
a great band, and they had more

191
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.639
songs. Well, my brother,
I would not put the man the top

192
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.000
ten category of great bands in the
old chang mind, but I will tell

193
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:46.799
you I did love the video only
because it was very very cartoonish. The

194
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.320
animation in it, I thought held
the bar at that back time when you

195
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:56.519
can actually make these two guys into
cartoon figures. And the way they played

196
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.360
out, I thought that was very
done, very well. As or the

197
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.320
as for both the guys wearing hair
like Bono, I will have to say

198
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.159
they were not my favorite band.
I didn't think they were that great.

199
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:13.399
Way to give the creators of the
video the two chang thumbs up, and

200
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:20.440
I would give the band the one
middle finger up from the cho their video.

201
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.039
Their video was a live action pencil
sketch animation sequence. Now, their

202
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:33.559
video won six awards and was nominated
for two MTV Video Music Awards in nineteen

203
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.639
eighty six. What do you think
about that? Well, that actually throws

204
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:39.919
me for a loop. Now,
okay, I will give them the credit

205
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.000
for that, but that is not
going to change the old Chang's mind of

206
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:48.360
what I thought of them as a
musical act. I mean, come on

207
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:58.240
the name alone, what that stubbing, stubbing hater. You're insulting a lot

208
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.080
of AHA fans, including Super Mario. Who's right? I really am a

209
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:10.240
fan, I really am a fan
of AHA. Well, all right,

210
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:15.759
so are you a fan of number
nine in ninth place of the top ten

211
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.320
songs of nineteen eighty five according to
Billboard's Top one hundred, was from a

212
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:25.960
young lady that men just drooled over, women worshiped, They wanted to be

213
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:27.639
like, they wanted to dress like
her, and she came up with a

214
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:33.879
song called Crazy for You, which
released on March second, nineteen eighty five,

215
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.559
by Geffen Records, and it was
on her album Vision Quest. And

216
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.879
of course I'm talking about the one, the Only, the lovely, Oh

217
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:45.519
I Donna. I thought you were
going to say, like a virgin,

218
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:52.639
because that also was a track that
was in the top ten hits of nineteen

219
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.240
eighty five. But then, as
we talk about Madonna, many songs off

220
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:03.519
of her album in eighty five were
top ten pop list songs. So uh,

221
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.400
I will say uh, I was
very intrigued with Madonna as I was

222
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:15.640
growing up in this particular time in
eighty five, I was fully in golfing

223
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.960
out blood in a different region that
I will not go into graphic detail,

224
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:26.880
but let's just say my parachute pass
looked like the shoot had been pooled.

225
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:32.319
Now, now, the old chang
did have many of fun in debt.

226
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:41.359
I did have many fun adventures with
Wanna Madonna's I'm sure you remember so many

227
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:45.839
sexy Wana Madonnas, all these girls. Oh, I found them at golf

228
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:51.000
and Stuff. I found them at
Wild Rags, I found them at the

229
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:56.319
Electric Planet, went them all of
the galleria. There was so many places

230
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.359
that you could get yourself a delicious
little Wanna Madonna all for your own.

231
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:02.920
That's why you want to go back
to the past and go back to the

232
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:04.240
left win. Oh yes, I
want to see her roll around on the

233
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.400
floor like a virgin all over again. Now, I have to tell you

234
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:12.720
I thought she was ahead of her
time, you know, musically, pop

235
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:19.880
culture style, her her looks,
her she was so provocative, not only

236
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:27.599
on stage performing, but in a
video. The award shows she always stood

237
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:33.200
out like a shiny nickel above any
other tarnished nickels. And I have to

238
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:38.319
tell you I was not a fan
of the pop culture type music, but

239
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:42.839
I did give her a lot of
respect because you know, she had a

240
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:49.240
pretty cool voice. She was damn
right sexy, and I could see exactly

241
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:55.960
why most of her tracks were so
eye appealing and catchy to the listener and

242
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:02.799
those who were looking for that next
poster and a pop doll. So she

243
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.920
fit in very well. She came
in at a time to where music kind

244
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.359
of needed her, you know,
coming out of the seventies, where we

245
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:15.119
had so many different types of i'll
say sex appeal with Linda Ronstad, uh

246
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:19.279
you know, that type of sexuality
of the blondie, you know, the

247
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.759
blondie, then you had the runaways. There were so many different girls that

248
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:30.200
evolved from the seventies into the eighties
of sex appeal. But I thought Madonna

249
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.839
captured sex appeal in a pop kind
of way, with kind of a pin

250
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:38.640
up girl style. But the girl
had some chops and she did some pretty

251
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:42.440
good writing. You know, There's
there's other serious tracks that she did bro

252
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:48.880
that you know, spoke to young
girls of her generation of her liking.

253
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:55.640
So thank I thought that she was
pretty catastrophic in the pop music biz at

254
00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:59.799
that time, and I would have
to give her a five change thumbs up

255
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.599
for uh oh, yes, I
would, I know you would. Yeah

256
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.799
the other hand, with the other
hand, I'd be spiking those little noggies

257
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:12.440
all the way. Yeah. No. She was definitely provocative. She was

258
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:18.880
very outlandish, and she was very
erotic on stage, and she used,

259
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:25.319
she definitely exploited her own sex appeal
for her own benefit and it led.

260
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:27.079
I mean it was. She was
a first of her cover kind and that's

261
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:33.480
why she gained so much popularity.
And she continues to be groundbreaking even though

262
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.640
she's been out of the limelight for
a while as she was back then.

263
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.680
But Madonna has always stood her ground
and uh, and she can and she

264
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:48.319
can still handle herself no matter how
many, no matter how many beastings she

265
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.640
may have now according to according to
Chi, I feel so bad because I

266
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:57.000
found her so sexy and I don't
know why she screwed up her face with

267
00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:02.759
plastic surgeries. You why, why, my friend, how many entertainers that

268
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:07.960
we have lived throughout these last few
decades and years to where we see that

269
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:14.960
we're we're so captivating with their looks
that have gone to an ancient bee hive

270
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:19.720
somewhere and stuck their face in it. Maybe they've doused some sugar on their

271
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:22.680
face so they can get more beast
things. I don't know, but I

272
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:32.400
mean, you have guys like Mickey
Rourke, the King of Ugly. You

273
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.160
know, when the list goes on, why she would do that to herself.

274
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:38.519
I don't know. And nowadays she's
carrying on with a boyfriend I believe

275
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:44.480
what he's in his twenties. Yeah, something of that. I mean,

276
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:48.400
that's ridiculous. This guy you're banging
is as old as your kid have you

277
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:52.480
know, Shaane be stung lady.
I don't understand where her mind went now.

278
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.640
I think it's just the fact that
they want to fit in in today's

279
00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:59.839
marketing, yes, when they shouldn't. They shouldn't want to be like to

280
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:06.039
day's market. They are yesterday's market
in a new market and be that person

281
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.559
to prove anything to anybody. You've
made your path anyway, that's uh,

282
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.680
you're you're already iconic. Yes,
I mean, you know, Madonna I

283
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:22.519
think is jealous of the limelight going
to uh like a Gwen Stefani or a

284
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:26.920
Lady Gaga. I think Madonna decided
to come back and and try to take

285
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:32.160
a ground like you know that that
doesn't belong to her. A friend told

286
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:34.519
me really quick. You know,
once you get to a certain age,

287
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:37.720
you have to realize that this is
not your place or your world anymore.

288
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.880
It belongs to your children. So
I think that term would probably go for

289
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:48.839
Madonna nowadays. Yeah, all right, So continuing on from Madonna and going

290
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:53.559
over to number eight on the Billboards
Top one hundred, and we're scaling down

291
00:22:53.640 --> 00:23:00.240
the top ten. Number eight is
a song by British rock band The Dire

292
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:07.279
Straits. The song was money or
Nothing from the album Brothers in Arms.

293
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:10.400
Now, this is a great band, Dire Straits. Bro I actually did

294
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:14.160
go see them in the eighties,
but totally as a matter of fact,

295
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:17.279
off of this album that was one
of their greater albums. There was so

296
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:21.519
many tracks that didn't get a lot
of airplay, you know, on pop

297
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.279
stations, but there are tracks that
were played on FM rock stations, and

298
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:30.160
I mean they hit the Holy grail. These guys were. Knopfler was incredible,

299
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:33.279
the sound, the singing style that
he had. Now, the one

300
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.160
funny thing about this song, money
for Nothing, there is a lyric in

301
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:42.240
this song that would probably raise eyebrows
and get sued upon if he said this,

302
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.079
Oh, they would cancel them.
They would cancel them. You know,

303
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:51.880
they haven't made them delete that and
remaster this song the way where it

304
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:55.440
takes that out, and it's ridiculous, as you, as some of our

305
00:23:55.480 --> 00:24:00.720
listeners may know or you know that
Sting also sang chorus that certain lyric in

306
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:07.839
this song, and I think that's
what helped catapult Dire Straits for this album

307
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:11.000
and this song with the guest appearance
by Sting because if you remember, the

308
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:17.480
Police were very hot back in eighty
five, also another band that was a

309
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:19.960
force to be reckoned with in alternative
rock and roll. As a matter of

310
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:25.440
fact, in July of eighty five, the month following the release, Dire

311
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:30.519
Straits and Sting performed this song at
Live Aid and they also performed it the

312
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:34.839
following year in eighty six at the
twenty eighth Annual Grammy Awards, and the

313
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:38.839
song was called of course money for
Nothing, and it won the Best Rock

314
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:44.480
Performance by a Due or Group with
Vocal and it was nominated for a Record

315
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.200
of the Year Song of the Year. I mean, they received eleven nominations

316
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.480
by MTV alone and they even won
Video of the Year. So I mean

317
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.720
this song it was groundbreaking. I
was I was just going to say they

318
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.640
walked, didn't they walk away?
With two or th moonment at the MTV

319
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.119
Music Awards. I believe. Let
me go ahead and I'm going to bring

320
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.079
in number seven. You cool with
that, I'm cool. Now here's a

321
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:11.839
band. I know you probably had
T shirts, maybe you had some underwear,

322
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.880
and maybe even you went with your
hairstyle with number seven with Tears for

323
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:21.559
Fears with everybody wants to rule the
world Now. I think this is an

324
00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:29.279
epic song. This song could stand
for today's movement of society as it did

325
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:36.400
back then. I think this song
was very transcending about the society and the

326
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:40.960
path it was going. I think
it was a very political song. It

327
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.880
could hit hard to our politicians what
we really felt, what society was going

328
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:51.759
through, how brain dead society kind
of was starting to suffer. Everybody wanted

329
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:56.240
a little bit of their own acceptance
and they wanted to be bragged upon.

330
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:02.759
Everybody became into the me scenario,
I think, and I think Tears for

331
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:06.440
Fear nailed it with this song.
As a matter of fact, that song

332
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:11.640
was used on Dennis Miller's talk show
for several years. Well, Dennis Miller,

333
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.359
the former comedian of Saturday Night Live. You know the long haired guy,

334
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:18.039
the guy that did Weekend up Day, you know the guys that talked

335
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:21.400
about yest right bybe. You know
what do you look at a bybe?

336
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:25.480
That guy. So that was a
very epic song I think in eighty five

337
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:30.960
and an epic song in lyrics,
catchiness. It was a great tune and

338
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:36.640
it just hit home for so many
different reasons in society. I love,

339
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:41.079
I really love Tears for Fears and
Everybody Wants to Rule the World from their

340
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:45.920
songs from the Big Chair album.
It was a fantastic along with shout from

341
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:48.720
a year prior to that, Yeah, from a year prior. Did you

342
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.400
know that this song Everybody Wants to
Rule the World was first when they wrote

343
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.880
it for the very first time.
It was originally written as Everybody wants to

344
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:00.279
go to war and they changed it. As a matter of fact, right

345
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:06.279
now that our oldest son got a
haircut, and he was he came out

346
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:11.440
of the barbershop like a greaser,
right, they grease's hair bag and then

347
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:15.880
he left it like that. He
came out of the shower and his hair,

348
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.960
because he has curly hair, it
started curling down forward in front of

349
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:23.079
his face. And now I call
him tears for Fears. Now you should

350
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:29.480
let you should let Christian let his
hair grow out like the other guy,

351
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:33.359
and then you will have the actual
Tears for Fear's band in your house.

352
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:37.359
Now, that would be something I
don't have him do that for for Halloween.

353
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:41.559
Or you could have both your sons
dress up like Hollow Notates, which

354
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:48.279
is number six on the Billboard Charts
Brollow Notes, and that would be out

355
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.880
of touch. Now, first of
all, before I give you what I

356
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.160
thought of Hollow Notes, what did
you think of that song? And what

357
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.559
do you really think about the true
talent of Darryl Hall and John Oates.

358
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.200
You know, it's funny because when
I was a teen, I liked their

359
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:10.200
songs, especially songs like She's a
Man Eater and certain out of Touch.

360
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:15.599
I did like, but I didn't
really Hollow Notes wasn't really my thing as

361
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.960
a teen. I didn't really start. Yeah, I didn't start appreciating their

362
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:25.559
music until the like the mid nineties. That's when I started to appreciate their

363
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:30.200
music. And now I really love
Hall of Notes from the eighties. Sad

364
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:36.160
to say, I heard Hall of
Notes live a few weeks ago or a

365
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:41.839
few months ago, a couple of
months ago, and man, he lost

366
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.000
his voice so many times. And
of course we're not expecting him to sound

367
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.839
exactly like he did, but some
of those Stones. They even went down

368
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.559
a couple of tones, a couple
of chords, and he still couldn't reach

369
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.319
those notes. Are you talking about
the video that Haryl Hall? I'm talking

370
00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:02.319
about Daryl Hall. Oh, you're
talking about Darryl Hall, because, uh,

371
00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:04.599
you're you're talking about this latest tour
that they just came out with right

372
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:07.559
a few months back, I believe
in. And you're talking about some of

373
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.759
the footage of people who have been
putting out on social media. You can

374
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.920
catch it on YouTube. Now,
I will I will say this, I

375
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:19.880
am a big fan of Daryl Hall. I watched the television show from Darryl's

376
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:26.039
house. I'm always blown away with
the musical acts and the performances as he

377
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:32.519
does. But I will I do
agree with you on his uh vocal range.

378
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:37.480
But I'll also state this, how
many bands or groups or artists that

379
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:41.440
we grew up with from the eighties
that are out there making music now and

380
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.160
coming out back on tour are the
same. I mean, we can talk

381
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.920
about the Stones, you know,
we could talk about Judas Priest. I

382
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:52.839
mean, they're Yeah, there's probably
a couple of handful there's a handful of

383
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:59.359
bands that can that can still do
what they did in that same way.

384
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.440
But there's a lot that you know
that time has caught up. Yeah yeah,

385
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:07.200
and you know what, and it
does it hurts a little. And

386
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.559
it doesn't hurt because you don't feel
sorry for them. You just feel bad

387
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.759
because time came in. And that's
correct, not only took some years from

388
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.599
you, but maybe one of your
favorite artists that you have to see age.

389
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:22.759
You could say the same for Billy
Idol, my brother, Billy Idol.

390
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:27.759
I mean, oh yeah, you
know, I watched some some video

391
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:32.440
on Billy Idol and he does the
same thing as uh, what's his name,

392
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:36.079
Vince mcmeil, you know, the
little chubby guy from Motley Crue.

393
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:41.599
You know, once you the main
performer, put your microphone out to the

394
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:45.920
crowd to carry the note or a
verse because you can't. That tells me,

395
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:48.480
guess what, you should have stayed
home snacking down on some big Max

396
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:53.240
and just collected your residual checks.
So you know what's funny when when you

397
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:57.680
said that about Billy Idol, because
I was thinking that, but you know,

398
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:03.400
I caught him doing a video that
he did recently. It's just him

399
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:08.240
and his guitarist, and I partied
with Steve Stevens, good guy. Yeah,

400
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:11.880
and you know what, and he
pulled it off and he hit those

401
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:18.720
notes and he did great. And
I was really shocking because at other concerts

402
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:22.000
he has, you know, the
audience sing because he can't reach the notes.

403
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:26.599
But you know what, with him
and the guitar, so acoustically he

404
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:30.680
did. Yeah, he did fantastic. I mean I was impressed. I

405
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:33.400
was happy. I agree with you. Acoustically. You know, so many

406
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:38.440
artists do so so much better when
they go into an acoustical set, because

407
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:41.480
I don't think you have to come
up with the same vocal range as you

408
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:47.079
do when you're in live with electrical
you know, with electric guitar, electric

409
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:51.000
bass, pounding drums, you have
to sing over the crowd. So I

410
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:56.160
think anytime an artist does transcend back
into the acoustics, it still has that

411
00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:01.240
same richness, that same tone,
but at a softer pace. But it

412
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:07.759
still sounds probably note for note like
it did. You know, there's many

413
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:13.599
artists that have gone into the acoustical
sets and do sounds superb. But you

414
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.519
know, like we're talking about Darryl
Hall, I understand where you're coming from,

415
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:21.440
but it just it is sad to
know that he cannot sing like he

416
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:23.200
used to. But then you have
to say the same for John Oates,

417
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:28.559
because I'm familiar with the tracks that
you did watch, and John Oates himself

418
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:31.640
sounded a little bit weak and he
all he you could tell that guy got

419
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:37.640
stung in the bee or somebody waxed
his face with bee honey or b wax.

420
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:42.359
You know what I'm talking about.
If you just joined us, we're

421
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:47.720
talking about the top ten songs according
to Billboard's Hot one hundred Singles of nineteen

422
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:51.880
eighty five. When we come back, we're going to continue starting with number

423
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:58.720
five, because our opinions matter.
You can dispense with the pleasant trees you're

424
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:07.599
listening to. Just on Chang.
You don't know the power back to the

425
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:16.039
eighties. If they were a laxative, they'd be so powerful you could stand

426
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:22.319
on your head and on the ceiling. That's position will not only but also

427
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:38.960
undignified. And now back to the
eighties with Toscato and Chang. You're listening

428
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:42.519
to the one and only back to
the eighties radio. This is disconno this

429
00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:45.200
kind of change. Thanks for joining
us. I do want to remind you

430
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:49.680
guys, we do have a Facebook
page where you can write into us and

songs of nineteen eighty five. We also

432
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:58.000
have a Patreon page, right chang, what's that for it? That's right

433
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:02.400

our lovely listeners to you know, if

434

I know everything is tight. We're not

435
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:09.519
begging, but if you can kick

436
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:14.400
show and help us give you great
radio and maybe get us some you know,

437
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:17.840
some some gifts for you out there, and just to keep the show

438
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:22.360
going, maybe it could kick in
and help the station that we're giving birth

439
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:28.800
to grow and you know, just
help us, help you, help us

440
00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:34.159
get those nikes from nineteen eighty five. Then Michael Michael J. Fox Ward

441
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:37.079
like some killer nikes. By the
way, I looked use up and those

442
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:43.000
are a thousand dollars on eBay.
They're nuts. Thousand dollars. That's insane.

443
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:46.559
They're nuts anyway. Man. So
we are talking about the top ten

444
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:51.760
songs from nineteen eighty five. We
to kind of go over the songs we

445
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:57.079
mentioned in number ten. It was
Aha would Take On Me. Number nine

446
00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:02.599
Madonna was Crazy for You. Number
eight the Dire Straits with Money for Nothing,

447
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:09.039
Number seven Tears for Fears with Everybody
Wants to the World, and number

448
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:15.320
six Daryl Hall and Jonah Holts with
out of Touch Chang bringing number five and

449
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:21.320
tell me what you think now?
Number number five is a song that this

450
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:23.440
chick goes back to the seventies.
I mean, she had the funk,

451
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:30.079
the soul, she was sexy and
it's no other than the very sexy Chuck

452
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:37.800
Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck A. Kohn
with I Feel for you now. Who

453
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.159
could forget this song? I mean, as soon as this song started,

454
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:45.280
you hear that classic harp and it
kind of takes you into the mode of

455
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:50.119
wanting to listen to War or Stevie
Wonder put you into that vibe and then

456
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:53.159
it just comes out and it kicks
your ass with heavy dance vibe, you

457
00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:57.719
know. And then then the way
you have the kind of the guy's a

458
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:04.320
you know, he's a spin of
the disc with a shu Chuka Khan.

459
00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:07.800
So it brought in that DJ vibe
of the eighties. I mean that song

460
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:12.719
incorporated to me so many different styles
of music. It had to be a

461
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.880
hit. As a matter of fact, I'm surprised that it is number five.

462
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:19.119
I would have thought that this song
would have been a little bit higher

463
00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:23.239
on the Billboard chart. But I
do have to give it a chang five

464
00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:28.360
thumbs up because it hit number five. But I thought because of the sound

465
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:30.320
of it and so many styles that
are brought in, I thought it would

466
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:32.639
be a little bit higher. I
thought maybe at least three or two.

467
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:36.840
Yeah, you know, I Feel
for You was an incredible song, and

468
00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:40.800
it was the best known version of
this song with Shaka Khan. But did

469
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:46.679
you know that the original the original
version was recorded in nineteen seventy nine and

470
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:53.840
it was written by Prince from the
album Prince Ah. That is interesting.

471
00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:58.400
Now, that is a little fun
fact that I did not know. And

472
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:05.880
I must smack my head against the
bell because I am stuffed now. Of

473
00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:09.400
course, as I mentioned before,
the best known version, or the most

474
00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:15.039
successful version was version was recorded by
R and B singer Sharka Khan, and

475
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:20.440
in addition, it was the recipient
of two Grammy Awards for Best R and

476
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:25.480
B Song and Prince of course as
the songwriter Best Female R and B Vocal

477
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:31.679
Performance orkn Now, Prince did write
so many hits for other people you you're

478
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:35.400
aware Sena Easton, I mean,
the list goes on. I mean,

479
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:39.039
yeah, he was a He was
a phenomenal was not only a great writer

480
00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:43.880
and a great performer, but Eric
Clapton said that he was probably one of

481
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:47.960
the if not the greatest guitar player
of that era. Just putting that out

482
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:55.480
there, you know, and I
would believe it, very very underrated guitarist

483
00:37:55.519 --> 00:38:00.400
he was. He was a phenomenal
musician, phenomenal town and tied a performer.

484
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:06.920
And you know what. He wrote
one of the songs for My childhood

485
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:10.800
Fantasy, which Susannah Hoffs, well, she's sit in a band called the

486
00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:19.519
Bengals and she sang Manic Monday was
written by of course not and uh oh

487
00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:22.000
she is good, gracious, freaking
delicious. I'll just put that on.

488
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:27.000
She was delicious. If she was
a candy. Oh yeah, Chanky would

489
00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:30.199
have ate it all the way.
Rapper and all my brother, I mean,

490
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:35.960
Suzanna Hoffs, call into the show
please, so I'll just come and

491
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:39.400
sit on the show. Sit on
me, for the love of God.

492
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:45.960
I'm drinking a glass of wine and
you said that, and I'm about to

493
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:52.960
chug on the wine and I literally
almost choked. I guess anyway, that's

494
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:54.880
I guess that's how a priest would
feel. Bless me. All right.

495
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:00.320
Well, on that note, let's
go on to number four, and it's

496
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:05.159
by a band that I know,
you know, Oh, I know they

497
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:08.559
came up. I love this band, especially because I love with a passion,

498
00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:13.920
I love power ballads. I love
I love this band till this song.

499
00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:17.440
Oh you gotta be kidding you because
it was the British American rock band

500
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:22.840
Or, released November nineteen eighty four
as the lead single from their fifth album,

501
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:30.199
Agent Provocatur. I want to Know
what Love is? And I thought

502
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:32.880
that if you don't know what love
is, that's because you wrote a crappy

503
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:37.519
song like this. This song reminds
me of being in an elevator give me

504
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:43.280
between. Are you kidding? I'm
sorry? Probably I could still hear this

505
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:45.440
song and I get in the eighties
mood as soon as I hear this song

506
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:51.239
this up. I want to go
through a divorce just so I could cry

507
00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:57.480
when I hear that song. What's
the matter with You? I like Old

508
00:39:57.519 --> 00:39:59.920
Foreigner. I'm sorry, I'm gonna
go I'm gonna say it. Of the

509
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:02.960
of the seventies, you know what
I mean, Dirty White Boy. You

510
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:07.119
know that's good stuff right there.
You know it's uh, it's all good.

511
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:12.880
If Foreigner's form Wow Blue Monday,
Blue Day, that's like. That's

512
00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:16.039
like if I said, okay,
well, yes you like Chicago, but

513
00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:19.800
do you like Peter Satara? What
would the change say? No, that

514
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:22.119
guy killed the band exactly. He
was a great based player, but when

515
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:25.159
you put that guy in charge of
writing lyrics, all of a sudden it

516
00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:31.559
went to Hi, you're listening to
mark a post. Peter Satara was a

517
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:36.239
great writer and wrote great you know
what, I wish he would have got

518
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:38.119
on a horse and wrote his ass
out of the band when he started writing

519
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:42.840
those love songs there, I said
it brother, not gonna lie and I'm

520
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:45.960
sorry Foreigner, great band, but
that song, oh man ah. I

521
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:51.480
don't know if I should cry or
kick my TV when I seen the video

522
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:54.239
there that those were the emotions that
the chang was going through in that show

523
00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:59.519
debut. And for it to be
numbers four, hold on, I'm not

524
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:02.679
done. For it to be number
four in front of Shaka Khan, I

525
00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:07.320
would like to slap the living crap
out of whoever decided to put that there.

526
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:09.559
That was the people that want to
go. Can you do me a

527
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:15.039
favorite? Let's get back into Chiscago
and shang time machine vehicle in the fiarro

528
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:19.239
Wake me there, so I can
slap the crap out of everybody that wrote

529
00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:23.880
this and agreed upon this list.
There, we'll take a trip. We

530
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:29.719
really will, probably next week because
I'm getting the fiarrero back to take a

531
00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:32.719
trip back to the eighties. Punch
in jumping into number three from the album

532
00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:39.880
Make It Big. George Michael's inspiration
for the song was scribbled in the note

533
00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:46.119
that his bandmate Andrew Ridgley had left
for his parents. Intended to read wake

534
00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:53.440
me Up before You Go, and
it was accidentally written twice. Originally wrote

535
00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:59.880
go twice, so that's how it
stayed. Wake going Up before you go.

536
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:07.320
Wow. Now, let me see
how can I how can I explain

537
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:13.079
my feelings of this song without offending
anyone? Well, because you are the

538
00:42:13.159 --> 00:42:16.079
chang and your duty in life is
to offend people. And that's fine.

539
00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:20.480
We are from the eighties. It's
not a problem. Here. You can

540
00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:23.559
look here, you can feel free. Nobody's going to cancel you out.

541
00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:29.239
Oh great, great great. Now
I'm all for gay pride. Believe me

542
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:32.760
equality. No one should judge anybody
for their race, color, or sexual

543
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:37.760
preference, or their social status.
But when this song came out, I

544
00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:42.360
thought, my god, this has
got to be one of the worst crappy

545
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:45.519
pop songs I've ever heard in all
my life. But then when I seen

546
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:49.880
the video and I thought, my
god, this guy is fricking gorgeous.

547
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:52.320
I didn't know if he was gay
or not, but I thought, this

548
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:59.320
guy can nail any woman in this
time zone until he dies. This dude

549
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:02.760
is sexy, Sky's got the moves. And then throughout his career, the

550
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:08.719
dude just got even sexier and became
an even better vocalist than when they came

551
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:13.559
up with his pop song. No, this was not my favorite pop song,

552
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:16.079
and I wouldn't even put it in
the top ten. I would put

553
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:22.079
it maybe at fifteen, maybe twenty. But that's just me. But I

554
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:27.679
thought, now the very the short
shorts reminded me of a tennis player,

555
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:30.880
and then I met you, and
then I thought, no, it could

556
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:36.400
be a Tiscano, a great baseball
player, a martial artist, a guitar

557
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:42.480
player, Italian Mexican. He likes
to wear penny loafers with those shorts.

558
00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:45.519
Let me tell you that it with
me? Where's it? No shirt?

559
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:49.880
Just a member's only jacket. That's
what I thought. I gotta tell you

560
00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:54.440
that the single was certified platinum here
in the US, Okay, and it

561
00:43:54.599 --> 00:44:00.599
sold over two million copies. We're
talking at a time when they're no Internet,

562
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:05.320
there's no streaming service, there's no
downloads. This was people physically going

563
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:09.280
to stores and purchasing. This is
not counting all the people that went into

564
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:15.320
stores to steal that album. But
the music video futures Michael and originally wearing

565
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:20.599
oversized message T shirts, which you
know is funny to me that fun Haleen

566
00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:25.920
came out with their version of a
It looked like a wham. They did

567
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:30.039
the whampost Do you remember this?
Yes, they did the Whampos, but

568
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:31.920
it was Van Halen, and I
thought that was kind of cool in a

569
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:37.880
way. I thought that was kind
of weak. Diamond Day, what are

570
00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:39.199
you doing? Of course? What
are you doing? Dave? It's the

571
00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:43.000
chang What are we explain? What
are you doing? I mean, I

572
00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:45.679
want some eruption here, bro,
I want some atomic punk? Oh what

573
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:50.960
are you doing? Getting all MTV
out? I was very let down when

574
00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:55.760
Diamond Dave did that. But yes, that uh and and here's the nostalgic

575
00:44:55.840 --> 00:45:04.760
thing is you see how fashion and
came out of music, absolutely man,

576
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:07.880
you know. And and the Wamsky
Boys, I mean they were they nailed

577
00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:12.760
it, the Wamsky Boys, the
Van Hayden Brothers, Diamond Dave. Yeah.

578
00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:16.800
So many fans were established from music
artists, from musical artists from the

579
00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:21.159
musical era of the eighties. It
was unbelievable. I mean, the reason

580
00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:25.840
why you wear leg warmers today is
because of George Michael exactly. Now,

581
00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:30.159
the reason that you have that wing, that wig of of Bono, you

582
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:35.480
know on the War album. I
understand, I really understand. You know

583
00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:38.920
why you're making your sons look like
I get it. I get it.

584
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:43.039
I'm glad I get it well.
Falling into number two is a song that

585
00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:50.079
you already mentioned from an artist that
came out twice in ten spots. She

586
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:54.360
is in two, which tells us
that this artist, I mean anything she

587
00:45:54.440 --> 00:45:58.559
touched, I mean she was the
Midas, she had the mightas touch brother.

588
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:01.760
We talked about it, touch me
that might have I mean Madonna with

589
00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:07.079
Like a Virgin in spot number two
from the album Like a Virgin, which

590
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:13.559
was released originally October thirty first of
nineteen eighty four. Madonna was gold.

591
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:19.599
She was unstoppable. My friend Madonna
led the way and paved the way for

592
00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:23.079
who we have today. And you
know what, in spite of who we

593
00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:28.960
have today, she is still untouchable. She is still number one. Yeah,

594
00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:31.320
you know what, I would still
class supply Madonna as number one.

595
00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:36.840
Now this this, this album,
I mean this song. Excuse me,

596
00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:42.559
that's sexual charge that she just jolted
through the screen and through your speakers with

597
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:45.920
this song. I would have loved
to have her like a virgin. I

598
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:50.480
mean I would have Lalla la la
la la lord to her. Well,

599
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:52.679
that's why I said a little while
ago that she made all of us guys

600
00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:57.440
drool. And if you had younger
teens, for example, like myself in

601
00:46:57.480 --> 00:47:00.760
the eighties, when this thing came
out, I was twelve years old and

602
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:06.519
my my little hormones were wild when
I was twelve, and I would watch

603
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:08.440
her videos and just go nuts.
That's all I can tell you. If

604
00:47:08.440 --> 00:47:10.400
you know what I mean, Oh, I know what you mean, because

605
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:15.320
I felt the same way for I
dream of Genie. Oh, let's not

606
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:28.800
go there. I used to dream
every day? Whoa dirty little changes?

607
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:37.679
Anyway, that was good stuff,
Barbara Ething, Oh she was gorgeous.

608
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:39.920
Now okay, now we're going into
number one. Are you ready for number

609
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:43.519
one? I'm ready. I don't
know what you're gonna hit me with,

610
00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:47.519
but I'm ready. Number one.
We have also talked about in this list

611
00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:53.400
and this my my partner in crime
used to dress just like these guys,

612
00:47:53.760 --> 00:47:59.880
and he has briefs said say choose
life. I'm talking about the gorgeous joy

613
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:07.440
Michael a Wham with the number one
Billboard it in nineteen eighty five. Are

614
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:09.679
you ready, my brother? I'm
ready, brother, I'm ready. I

615
00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:14.920
want you to close your eyes every
I want all your listeners to close your

616
00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:19.280
eyes. Yes, I'm closing my
eye. Get that big glider hold on,

617
00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:29.679
okay, just time, canm that's
right, A careless whisper. Oh

618
00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:32.840
what a beautiful song. Thank you? Would you my rendition or your your

619
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:37.519
rendition? Your keep it going,
keep it going. It's okay, it's

620
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:39.480
okay. No, you're drinking wine. The shirt will come off. That's

621
00:48:39.519 --> 00:48:43.840
why it sounded better, because I'm
breaking the wine. Yes, and your

622
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:45.920
shirts off. I don't understand why. Well, it's got to come off

623
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:52.480
whenever I'm drinking wine, but careless
when you're listening to Wham. You brought

624
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:55.480
it up. As long as your
pants don't come off, I'm cool with

625
00:48:55.519 --> 00:49:00.280
it. Did you know here's another
fun fun fact for you. In nineteen

626
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:06.159
eighty one, George Michael was working
as a DJ in the bell Air restaurant

627
00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:12.239
in England, and he explained He
explained in his biography that he conceptualized Careless

628
00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:15.480
Whisper based on the events from his
childhood. He said, and I quote,

629
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:20.320
I was on my way to DJ
at the bel Air when I wrote

630
00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:23.719
Careless Whisper. He was riding on
buses, on trains and in cars,

631
00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:29.679
but whenever he wrote it always happened
on a certain journey. And with Careless

632
00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:32.480
Whisper, he said that he remembers
it because it just came to him,

633
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:37.480
especially with that sax line, and
he was remembering when he was handing the

634
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:40.559
money over to the guy on the
bus and he gets on the line,

635
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:45.199
and then the sax line, and
then he wrote he wrote it totally in

636
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:49.639
his head, worked on it for
about three months and then he came up

637
00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:53.119
with a song. George Michael Man, you are miss Brother Oh, rest

638
00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:57.760
in peace. George Michael. I
always thought that George Michael was an incredible

639
00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:06.880
performer, incredible writer. His vocal
range was eclipped some of the great vocalists

640
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:09.559
in music. Yeah, I could
name so many, but I'm not going

641
00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:17.320
to. I also was surly enthralled
and blown away by when he stepped up

642
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:22.039
and sang at the tribute for Freddie
Mercury after we had lost Freddie Murcury,

643
00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:27.800
when Queen put on that giant performance
with so many different singers, that George

644
00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:31.599
Michael nailed it. And I thought
when I seen him performed that if anybody

645
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:36.400
was ever going to front that band
again, it would have to be George

646
00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:42.159
Michael. I'm sure you know some
of the listeners remember that performance. I

647
00:50:42.199 --> 00:50:45.719
mean, he resembled Freddie to a
certain degree, but he had bangs,

648
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:47.719
but his hair was black. He
had the black mustache. I mean,

649
00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:52.679
I mean, the dude, the
dude had range. It's very sad knowing

650
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:59.519
that he passed the way that he
did, and that his depression before his

651
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:05.199
past was so devastating to him that
it pretty much silenced him and kind of

652
00:51:05.239 --> 00:51:10.039
short changed we out here that enjoyed
him performing. Very sad a very great

653
00:51:10.119 --> 00:51:15.760
vocal is the God's peace to George
Michael. And tell anybody out there that

654
00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:19.639
was a wad founder a George Michael
that I know you truly know what me

655
00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:23.079
and Tusconto mean when we talk about
this great individual. You know, the

656
00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:28.840
fantastic thing is it had reached number
one in twenty five countries and it sold

657
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:34.639
approximately six million copies world War worldwide, two million alone here in the United

658
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:38.800
States. And and George Michael will
be he was not only ahead of his

659
00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:45.000
time, but he was an artist
that will live on in the history of

660
00:51:45.199 --> 00:51:49.519
music and will always be heard.
Oh yes, you know we we're just

661
00:51:49.559 --> 00:51:52.800
so thankful for his memory. I
agree, you know, Chang, Now

662
00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:55.840
that we get onto a serious note, you said something so important because you

663
00:51:55.920 --> 00:52:04.519
mentioned depression and how artists suffer with
depression, and no matter how successful an

664
00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:08.559
artist is, and we saw it, and we see it constantly in movie

665
00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:13.159
stars as well. The one that
comes to mind was, of course,

666
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:17.320
the ever great, the greatest comedian
of all time in my opinion, Robin

667
00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:24.239
Williams, who suffered with depression yet
at the same time getting people with depression

668
00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:30.719
out of their depression with his antics, with his persona and character, yet

669
00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:36.400
at the same time being that that
very palpable story of old. It was

670
00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:38.320
the story about a man who goes
and sees his doctor and he says,

671
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:42.239
you know what, I can't come
out of depression, and I cry a

672
00:52:42.239 --> 00:52:45.960
lot and I I just can't seem
to shake it loose. And the doctor

673
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:49.440
says, you know what, I've
got the perfect remedy for you. Laughter

674
00:52:49.599 --> 00:52:52.159
is the best remedy for the souls. So I'm gonna I'm gonna prescribe this,

675
00:52:52.239 --> 00:52:57.199
and you're gonna do me the favor. You're gonna go see this comedian,

676
00:52:57.280 --> 00:53:00.519
this clown and his name is Garred. This was in France in the

677
00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:06.760
early nineteen hundreds, and you're going
to go see this clown perform and you

678
00:53:06.800 --> 00:53:09.480
will no longer have depression. And
the patient says, well, then please

679
00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:15.119
change a prescription because I am greed, I am that clown, I am

680
00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:21.480
that comedian. So it's interesting how
so many artists suffer with depression. As

681
00:53:21.480 --> 00:53:24.800
we come to the close of the
show, we talked about the ten greatest

682
00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:30.480
songs of nineteen eighty five according to
Billboard. You may have your favorites.

683
00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:32.000
You may disagree with the list.
I may disagree with the list, but

684
00:53:32.039 --> 00:53:37.880
at the end of the day,
eighties songs have paved the way for generations

685
00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:42.960
to come. Personally, when I
listen to eighties music, Bro, there

686
00:53:43.039 --> 00:53:50.039
is no room for depression. It
drills anything that is sad out. For

687
00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:54.599
the most part, Eighties music takes
away and brings in something new that no

688
00:53:54.719 --> 00:53:58.719
other music can do. For me. Now behalf of me, tuscannell.

689
00:53:59.079 --> 00:54:01.559
I want to wish you, guys
is a great rest of the week.

690
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:06.239
God bless you guys. Take care
of each other, and we'll see you

691
00:54:06.320 --> 00:54:08.400
next week. And this is the
chant before I release you all to another

692
00:54:08.519 --> 00:54:13.880
fantastic weekend. We're gonna we never
end the showing a bummer. But as

693
00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:17.800
kinda we discussed right now depression.
You know, there's so many people out

694
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:22.320
there that suffered from depression, and
I'm gonna go on a limb really quick.

695
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:25.679
I'm not going to go into the
dramatic stories, but I do know

696
00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:30.679
what that is all about. I
have been a sufferer of depression pretty much

697
00:54:31.239 --> 00:54:37.440
most of my entire life. I
know exactly the dark feelings that you feel,

698
00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:42.119
the self hate, the self guilt, the funk, and the cloud

699
00:54:42.199 --> 00:54:46.360
that you cannot come out of those
negative little voices in your head that tell

700
00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:52.239
you certain things that you can't or
you won't, or it's hopeless. So

701
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:54.920
take it from a guy who has
lived that life and has battled it.

702
00:54:55.519 --> 00:55:00.480
The way I used to refer to
it is when I did stand up comedy

703
00:55:00.639 --> 00:55:04.039
and I was already in my old
later years and I already had children.

704
00:55:04.920 --> 00:55:07.800
I would be so depressed at one
time, and then I would have to

705
00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:12.079
go perform, and I would tell
my wife all the time that it's time

706
00:55:12.119 --> 00:55:16.239
for me to put my mask on. And this goes to anybody out there

707
00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:21.360
who suffers from depression. Just sometimes
you feel like you have to put a

708
00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:24.559
mask on and keep yourself hidden from
the real world. But you have to

709
00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:28.559
put this mask on to kind of
give you a body of armor to go

710
00:55:28.599 --> 00:55:31.360
out there and take on a normal, regular life even though inside you're in

711
00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:36.079
turmoil, you're in hell, you're
burning, and you're sinking. But yet

712
00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:38.599
you put this mask on and it
shield you to go out there and do

713
00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:43.039
that. So aside from that,
I want to wish you all a fantastic

714
00:55:43.079 --> 00:55:47.599
weekend. Remember, let nothing get
you down, keep yourself lifted and gifted,

715
00:55:47.719 --> 00:55:52.639
and until next weekend. This is
a chang wishing you on all and

716
00:55:52.840 --> 00:56:00.239
adios ab asta lavista asta manana sayanata
and to all my home and those who

717
00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:15.920
know who I am, or a
live take me back to
