"Did you get it? Did you make a list of Thanksgiving sons? Well, I mean, this really only one Thanksgiving song that I play every year and, you know, it started off on record and then probably moved to cassette and CD and now it's digital, but while I'm preparing, you know, whether it's peeling potatoes or wrapping scallops and bacon or whatever, I still listen to Alice's restaurant by Arlo Guthrie every Thanksgiving. Oh, all right. Cool. And I listened to the whole thing and I love it. I could probably recite half of it. It's a great story. It's a great story told with a lot of humor in it. And I do like his attitude in it, and it's still, it still makes me laugh. Yeah. I think one of the things that is kind of a bummer about it. So, you know, Arlo Guthrie, son of Woody Guthrie. Who was that Woodstock and Alice's restaurant probably is his biggest hit and what he was most known for back in the day. It's kind of a sad thing to see that he does still tour around every Thanksgiving, and does kind of this updated version of Alice's restaurant, which by the way, for our audience that is out there. If you've never listened to it, I don't know the exact timing of it, but it's probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 27, 28 minutes. It's an entire side of an album. Yeah. And he's tried to recreate it into bring it more up to date through like the Iraqi war and whatnot. And it's just a pathetic attempt to revive something that it's just like it was a moment in time. It was a moment in time. There were some songs that shouldn't be remade, just like there were some movies just leave it alone. Yeah, well, Hollywood can't do that. Just leave it. I know. I know sooner sooner or later, somebody's going to want to remake The Godfather, a jaw. So The Shawshank Redemption. And they're just going to destroy it. Yeah. Actually, I heard Bradley Cooper will be doing he'll be playing the part of what's his name. Steve McQueen's character in bullet, like Jim bullet or something. I think the guy's name was so Bradley Cooper is going to be playing that character, which I could see that. See, that's good. You know what I mean? Bradley coop is a good actor. Yeah, but Steve McQueen. That's a tough call. You know, you know, look, I don't know, maybe there were just different levels, but it doesn't bother me so much that he's making, you know, remaking bullet. I don't regard bullet is being lost. It's like a pot too. There are just some things that you should just leave alone. Yeah, there's certain characters you can't replace. You know what I mean? There really is characters that shouldn't be messed with. But yet they do. So I came up with that from a cover standpoint. And I'm sure that there are a bunch of them out there, but you know, look, there's some great cover songs out there and there's some songs that probably shouldn't be covered. Like, yeah, and nobody should be covering stairway to have

"That's people don't even blink now, but back then they wanted you to be able to promote a record. And when the record business took off with rumors and thriller and Miami Vice soundtrack, these were billion selling records and those of us that were more moderate sellers just got pushed a little bit to the side and I'd rather sign somebody else that could bring in a more bang for their buck. They were also absorbed by big corporations, you know, Warner electorate Atlantic consolidated, Warner communications took over. There was a different set of priorities in the 80s. So, you know, they dropped T bone Burnett and Dan Morrison and Arlo Guthrie and me and, you know, we weren't bringing in the big bucks. So the 80s weren't real friendly to my kind of music. It wasn't a great political decade. There was this war in Central America. It was a lurch to the right, politically, and the consolidation of the record business. And it wasn't until the end of the decade that the college radio and album oriented rock and VH1 came along, and Tracy Chapman had a number one record. The Edie brickell, Robert Cray, the fabulous thunderbirds, my kind of music was having hit a hit play, so it was a good time for me to come back into the fore, but I never expected to have that huge success. I don't think anybody did. But you were back playing solo shows, is that right? You didn't have a band at that point? I played with my guitar player backed up on bass and sang harmony and we would do that in the months when we weren't with the band in the summer. And prince approached me a couple of years after I'd been dropped because I had a record ready to come out and a tour with Stevie Ray Vaughan. I had to cancel it. And he said, you know, you were treated badly..
Broken Record
"arlo guthrie" Discussed on Broken Record
"Sing? Songs like and winter sky and rambling boy and all these other great songs, you sing in the same cave, which a lot of performers over the years have to lower it. So what do you do with your voice that allows you to do that? Well, today I sat down and practiced the piano and sang. Did some exercises that I was taught by my teacher and if there is a secret, it is what max margolis taught me, which is that everything is about clarity and phrasing. If you listen to a singer and you understand the words, it goes a long way to proving that they're singing well. If you don't, maybe not so much. And my whole purpose in life is to tell the stories so that they can be understood. I know some people who have, let's say, rugged voices, they're charming, but the real challenge is to keep telling the stories and telling them understandably. You mentioned max margolis. He was your vocal coach? Yes. When did you start with him? I started with him in 1965. You know, it was a pianist, trained pianist. I sang in the choirs in the courses, but when I got stretched out on the road after 61, when I began to make records and have to travel all over the world, I would lose my voice all the time. And so by 1965, it was clear that I had to do something about it. And I didn't know anybody in New York who would do that. I mean, my friends who were the folk music community, nobody was taking singing lessons. That's for sure. So I called Harry Belafonte and has somebody who worked with him and said, oh, Harry says you have to talk to his guitarist, ray bogoslav, and you have to call ray because ray knows about these things. So I called ray bogoslav, and he said, well, there's only one person that would be worthwhile to work with and his name is max margolis. So I wrote his phone number down, and so at the end of the summer, I was in my apartment on the upper west side, and I picked up the piece of paper with the phone number on it, which I had kept. And I called this number. And this man answered, and I said, who I was. And I told him who had recommended him. And we talked for a little bit, and I said, I'd really like to come and see you and see if you can help me out with this problem. And he said, what do you do? And I told him, and he said, oh, I'm not interested. You people are not serious. Folks. I said, oh, trust me, I'm serious. And I begged, and pleaded. And finally, he said, all right, he said, will spend a little time together. You can come and see me. And I said, well, that's wonderful. But where do you live? And he told me, and I walked out my front door on the 8th floor of one 64 west 79. And I turned right and walked past the elevator and rang his bell. He didn't tell. He didn't expect you quite so soon. No. That's how right on these two folks were that I'm obviously it was karmic. And it was meant. And then I studied with him for 32 years until he died. And the last thing he said to me at Roosevelt hospital when he was dying was don't worry. As long as you know that it's clarity and phrasing, you're going to be fine. How do you practice clarity and phrasing? Well, you think about clarity about the words, you know, my husband will say to me, you've got to be clearer on that song. You know, it's a new song and you're not finding your way into it. It's not understandable to me. So that'll do it. Every time. We'll be right back with more from Judy Collins after a quick break.

One of the things reading your autobiography that I found fascinating, you lived in the upper west side, but you were really part of the Greenwich Village scene. And how quickly you got to know seemingly everybody when you had trouble with your voice, you phoned Harry Belafonte. What was it about the village at that point? I know there were a lot of talented people there, but everybody seemed to intersect so many times. Was it a small community? Was it that everybody was drinking together or what was it that made it so, so connected? You know, when you think of the village, it's a very small area of physical area. It's only a few blocks. You would think of it as this huge place, and yes, we drank together, it was very much a social club, but when I got to the village, it was 1961, and there was a kind of a word of mouth around the whole country. The people ran the clubs would say, to another person who ran a club in Chicago, maybe she sold tickets. And they would hire me. I was there for 6 weeks at a time, or sometimes a month and a half, two months in that way the venues got to know that you were doing business. So they would hire you. And I went to New York for the first time since I was a teenager. I went to Greenwich Village, and I was the opener. I was the headliner at gerty's folk city in April of 19 61. Dylan had been when he was called Robert Zimmerman. He had been in Denver, and he was hanging out there. He was homeless there. He was sleeping on the couches of people who sang at the exodus, which is a club that I sang in, I opened for bob Gibson, who discovered Joan Baez, and then he called Jack holzman and said, I think I found your Joan bias. It was a very tiny community, although we were stretched out very thin all over the country, but that's really the way it was. The night that I opened, as the headliner, at girty's folks, everybody was there that I had ever seen in the record stores and Pete Seeger was there and Peter Paul you were there and Dave red and rock was there and ramblin Jack Elliott was there because my opener was 13 year old named Arlo Guthrie. So they had come to see what woody's kid was going to do. And I've known Arnold for 60 years. I was fascinated that this sort of dominant, slightly fearsome character for you when you went there was Joan Baez, wasn't Bob Dylan, he was still a kid, Joan was the one that everybody kind of gravitated to. And she seemed to be the charismatic one. Oh, and she became a friend very early on in her sister. I was embedded with this group of people, including people like Phil ochs, who one day, he knew that I was recording in the heat of the summer, was wonderful song by him, and so he knew I was going to be recording that month in 64, and so he brought Eric Anderson over. I didn't know Eric at all. So he brought him over and Eric brushed me aside, raced to the bedroom, sat down, finished writing the words to the song and then came back and sang me thirsty boots. And I said, oh, that's great. I'll record that tomorrow too. So things like that were always happening. It's just they seem to happen so rapidly. That's right. Oh, Dennis, husband was my manager for a while. I don't know if you know that. I didn't know that. But you guys played a very particular role, which you don't find in pop music anymore. Before you started writing, you were almost like the curators of what was happening. You sang Dylan songs before Dylan was popular, and he wouldn't have had a career without. John Baez. And Odetta saying everybody's songs. Yeah. You became this interpreter of these songwriters, people hadn't really heard of. And I want to just talk about a few of them. Because the list is so impressive. How did you first meet Ian and Sylvia? Well, they were recording for Electra. And they were charming. They had a place in the village. And you know, electro was a family. And Jack Olson and his wife, Nina. She used to do these big parties when you had a concert somewhere. And we'd meet everybody where I'd go to hear Ian and Sylvia saying somewhere at some club or I'd go hang out at the gaslight and listen to Dave and rock and there would be Phil ochs singing and Peter lafarge. There was always something going on. I listened to the songs and I would pluck out the ones that I knew would work for me. And I went to see Dylan and it must have been 62. It was very early on. It was town hall. And he sang masters of war and I just flipped out and also fare thee well. And I said, I have to record this guy. So then I came back to the east and moved straight into the village as where I knew I had to be. I just had to be there. In a way, everybody found a way to get into that recording studio was electorate and make a record. Sometimes they didn't stay all that long, I did, but I did get to know people because of that because that social life that kind of swirled around Nina and Jack holzman. And how did you meet Leonard Cohen? You may be the only person not to have had an affair with Leonard Cohen. Yes, I'm the only person who didn't. Yes. The only girl in the room left standing. I had a couple of friends. Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner were friends of mine in those old days in the village. And I had a friend named Linda gottlieb and she and I and Mary Martin would have dinner. The four or 5 of us would have dinner. Mary Martin worked for Warner Brothers, and she was a Canadian, and we would go out to dinner and she would talk about her life in Canada, and she would talk about this guy. Named Leonard, and she would say Leonard's a wonderful poet, and we all love him. We all grew up in the same neighborhood. That's also where Nancy bakal came into my life, too, a little after that. And she said, we're also worried about him because he's a brilliant person. He gets some books published, and we go to his little readings in Montreal, but we don't understand these poems at all. They're so obscure. So this went on for a couple of years. In and out of various spots where we'd have dinner, lunch or whatever. Then in 66 she called me one day and she said, well, you'll be surprised, but he's writing songs. And he wants to come to see you to record his songs. Now, by that time, of course I had had the hand in a number of careers, many, many artists. I suppose it was known that if you could get me on a record on Electra because I was recording every year, it would be a good thing for your career. I said to Leonard, you know, Mary told me that you write songs. And I'd love to hear some. If that's okay with you. He said, okay, I'll come by the next day. So the next day he came by. The apartment, and he said, I can't sing and I can't play the guitar. And I don't know if this is a song. And he's saying these three songs, he's saying he's a stranger song, which I've never recorded yet, but I will someday. And he sang me dress rehearsal rag, which is the story of a rehearsal for a suicide. Which I thought was great, and then he sang me, Suzanne. Now, Michael got it right away with Susan. He said, oh, that's it. And I said, I'm not so sure. So it wasn't until a day or two later that it sunk in. That was when I called Jack, we had been working on in my life, which was my 5th album. And it was a huge departure from everything I'd ever done because I know there were no guitars there was no Dylan. There was no fill oaks. It was songs from the morrow outside sounds from the pirate Jenny. It was a huge departure. And in my life, a Beatles song. We should just back up. This was a famous theater production. By Peter Brooks. And the story of the Marquis de Sade, a fantastic production. And the music was not distinctly song. So I took the whole soundtrack, and I had them put it on a reel to reel for me, and then I edited it with my own razor, to put the thing together so that it would make a complete kind of text as a song. And then we said, let's get Josh to do this. Let's get Josh Ruth going to orchestrate these things. Pirate Jenny, the music for the more in my life, et cetera. And so we've done all this material. We went to England actually to record so we could get the folks who sang for the Marat sod recordings. And we were out there, you know, we were having a very good time. Nobody knew what we were doing. And nobody understood why we were doing what we were doing. And so we were very happy with it, but Jack said to me, it's missing something. And that was when Leonard came along. I called Jack a couple days later and I said, I think I found the missing something. I had Leonard play Suzanne for him, and he said, oh, that's it. But we're done. Wow. It's amazing to me at that point that you had 5 or 6 records by that. Before you did in my life. And they'd done okay, but you didn't have a breakout hit on any of them. You were touring a lot. A musician today would not get 6 kicks at the can. Well, they didn't have Jack holtzman on their side. Do you think that was it? Oh, yeah. He was a believer. You know, he said to me, when bob gives had called him from Denver and said I have found your Joan Baez that was in 59. And bob said, I think you have to come out here to Denver and hear her. And he did. But he didn't introduce himself to me, and two years later he came to see me at gerty's folk city and said, you're ready to make a record. And years later, he said, I didn't know that he had come out to Denver. And then he called, after saw me at gertie, she called bal Gibson and said, I have now found my Judy Collins. And he told me this, maybe 5 years ago, I heard this story from him. He saves these little nuggets for me and tells me, decades later. I was saying he hung onto that one for a long time. I had no idea. I said, why didn't you introduce yourself? He said, because I heard you, and I thought she's very good. But then he sought, I did not know if you were serious, and I said, which could have asked me. As always, very seriously. He said, well, I didn't know that. But you see he had a heart also has integrity and he knows that it takes time to build an artist. I would do an ask about two more songwriters. Could you champion very early, Randy Newman? How did that song come to your channel? Somebody sent me somebody from his camp, sent me that song when I was on the verge of recording the in my life album. He had recorded it, and I heard it. And I said, I'm putting this on the album. That's what made the decision in his mind that he was going to be a songwriter. And not go the route of most of his relatives who wrote music for movies, as you know. That was what did it was that I chose the song and I sang it, and of course it's a great and the song is great. I think it will rain today. I think it's going to rain. It's going to rain today. Just an amazing song. So, but I didn't know him. Somebody brought the song to my producer to Mark abramson and kind of threw it on his desk. And how did you first hear Joni Mitchell? Another one of those miraculous moments. I was in the village. I was hanging out, recording, traveling, and I became friendly with Al Cooper, who started blood sweat and tears, then 67, I was passed out, I'm sure, one night, and it was about three in the morning, and I got this call from Al Cooper, and I said, why are you calling me? What is going on? Is something wrong? And he said, no, no. No, no, no. I followed this girl home, and she was good-looking. And she said she was a songwriter. And so I figured I couldn't lose. So I followed her home. And when she got there, she started singing these songs, and I said to her, hold everything, I have to call, Judy. And so he called me, and I said, why are you calling me in the middle of the night? And then he said, I have a surprise for you. She does write songs. And you are going to love them. And then he put her on the phone, and she's saying me both sides now. She's saying that on the phone. Yeah. Did she play guitar when she was singing? Playing the guitar and singing into the phone with Al Cooper sitting next to her. And you thought what? I thought, oh, my God. I'll be right over. And I took Jack with me the next day. And I said, this is it. And he said, you're right. And that was it. I did Michael for mountains, too, which I don't sing in concerts, but it is a great song. And then you later did a couple of other big songs of hers. I did Chelsea morning. Chelsea morning was a hit for you. And then president Clinton and his wife said they named Chelsea morning after listening to my version of the song. But that's a big song that I do. I love that song a lot. Did you maintain a relationship with her over the years? Not really. We've grown apart and we also live in different parts of the country. And she doesn't travel. So much. I mean, she has had her physical issues. But we have had some very nice times Clive Davis Gus together a couple years ago. She was still in a wheelchair, but she came to the Grammy party that he has before the Grammys. And I sang both sides now with a wonderful band for her. And so that was very special. Okay, well, I'm so happy you could fit us in. Because you may be the busiest person I know. What a treat for me. I've loved every second of it. Thank you so much for coming down.

to that somewhere Great Jared thank you so much We appreciate that Of course You're all about Elton John You went to Elton John yesterday Awesome Was it good Awesome How old is that guy 72 73 or something like that Band was great He was great Sold out at the garden The garden was rocking last night So it was a lot of fun He's got a big tweezer and it tri state area for a long time Anyway Steve Kane co CIO and generals portfolio manager at TC W investment management He went to University of Chicago got his MBA there Matt which means he understands the booth The booth school of vaccine I'm an equity guy Steve So I don't really I didn't pay too much attention to that business school But you're a fixed income portfolio manager What do you do here in a rising interest rate environment Well hopefully you had your duration short going back a year or so which we were fortunate to do But I would say that things are getting a little bit more interesting in the fixed income world from a value perspective And I think along the rate environment we think the front end of the curve is starting to look interesting A one 62 year that discounts 8 fed tightenings over the next 15 months or so It looks reasonable Now when you look out the curve we're not as excited 2% ten year and 30 year just beyond just not getting much term premium or really getting paid for the risk out the curve So in general what we tell investors is keep your duration Sure keep your focus on the front end of the curve So if we get 8 rate hikes or more would that surprise you then No not at all I mean the fed is I mean of course it depends on what happens with inflation and with the economy and all that But our view is inflation is going to run hot Certainly for the balance of this year and maybe well into next year given what we're seeing in the labor market and with wages certainly energy prices feeding into that as well Yes no the fed is almost regardless of what happens with Russia and Ukraine or even the stock market The fed's locked into a tightening path here Given the high level of inflation and the fact that they really need to begin to get to work to address that Steve what does history have to tell us about the ability of the fed to fight inflation I kind of feel like inflation is just because there's a bunch of ships off the port of Long Beach in the portrait clogged and there's nobody to move this stuff and there's no truckers and what can the fed really do there The fit can do nothing Lined up lined up outside of ports There's absolutely nothing they can do The fed can really just monetary policy affect financial conditions and the demand side of the economy through interest rate sensitive sectors of the economy which means they have a very blunt instrument as we all know in terms of dealing with inflation and inflation works with the lag So the sort of unfortunate thing from an inflation forecasting standpoint is even though they are going to be hiking the impact of those hikes is going to affect the economy with the lag and then inflation with even a further lag So it's not going to really have an immediate effect on the supply side of the economy at all How important is it to get the rest of the FOMC confirmed I don't think it really matters all that much I mean you have your big three in place Powell brainerd and Williams the president of the New York fed And I don't think you need a full slate of fed governors and presidents to necessarily make decisions So I think yes it would be nice but I don't think it's an effect in any way their policy making decisions Steve you know when the fed made this pivot to a more hawkish stance I think the market was talking about three rate increases Now potentially as many as 7 how do you feel about that discussion point of is the fed behind the market Are they trying to play catch up How do you think about that Yeah I think they are And I think what happened is they went with the transitory supply bottleneck view for a while and I think what changed is they began to see tightness in the labor market And unemployment at 4% and wages rising very quickly and sort of forward looking indicators like the quits rate at historical highs people leaving their jobs voluntarily All suggest that this is more than a temporary phenomenon that affected the labor market I think the fed is behind the curve In fact and because wages in the employment market do not react quickly to changes in interest rates So again it's going to be some period of time and some amount of fed tightening and slowing in the economy before you see an impact on the labor market All right Steve thanks so much for joining us to really appreciate it Always love talking to the folks at TC W get this $225 billion in fixed income assets I mean that is a meeting When you go to LA to see clients you've got to lock down that PCW meeting first and foremost capital group as well Steve Kane co CIO and generalist p.m. at TCD I wonder why all the fixed income the big fixed income shops are out on the West Coast I know It's a good point It's a smart timco you know Especially after being at the booth school of business Steve must have been pumped to go I mean he was at pimco too so he was he's a California Fixed income guy Yeah And he went to Berkeley undergrad so smart dude but when I think about Chicago business school it's still GSB to me graduate school of business But then mister booth donated a gajillion dollars so he gets to put his name on it All right right.

Gave me compliments on it, but I thought that was funny. But yeah. It doesn't quite sound like Woodstock was the conscious raising experience that it's become known for and so famous for. And I think of all that's been documented about Woodstock over the years and books and movies and documentaries. Tell us, is there are there any secrets that have yet to be told you remember something else that just has never been shared about Woodstock? Spill the tea, please. Now, not necessarily that, but I was like, sandy, I was so I have been so surprised that the tepees never made the books and the publication. And I just wonder why.

"Tear invoking to see some. We had We had jeremy williams on the podcast once. He teaches in the middle east and he went on for about a half an hour. Talking about how. It's not like it's not anything like like the average american perception of what what the middle east is is so off of what it actually is. Yeah it's mind blowing to the average american when it's like over there and and and that so that whole idea of you know that it's amazing like comic books can just bring people together and make make make make it remind you that you know were. We are a lot more similar than we all think we are. Yeah especially when. We're not focused. So much on like reading superhero comics or reading a particular comic. It's not about the readings about the creating because you're using those words and images in the fusion of those two things to to express ideas and so what the what the the visual language might lack the verbal language like comes into help and vice versa. And the beautiful thing. The magic of comics is the gutter. Writes a space in between each panel. That's where all the mojo happens. All the things you don't see and whether or not you understand the relationship between image one in you know anna one appeal to and that's what you see like all these people getting it and it's like this. It's it's beautiful. It's really truly amazing to watch people look at each other's comics and they may not be able to read all the words and they may not understand all the art but they know between the two they put it together and they understand what the idea is. We go back to intention idea right because they're making things on purpose and that's the thing that we teach them about making comics comics. Work really well when you do things on purpose when you use intentionally when you you know it's not about aren't all the time it's not you can make a really great comic using stick figures. We've all seen her right. Yeah it's what's the. How are you communicating those ideas using these simple shapes. Simple know the these these relatively simplistic pieces to express some pretty powerful ideas and you can see it. It's just like what you're saying about like that that under saying that we think we have i. It was super cool. We wanted the teachers walla. Who's actually on our panel. That were were pitching We're hoping that she gets a share. Her story and gustavo from honduras We're hoping that he gets his story at south by so Wallah her students got online with some of my students last fall just before. Thanks thanksgiving and they want. They were studying american thanksgiving and wanted to find out like so. Is this stuff. True and ninety percent of what they had what they had been learning was not true for main it would slide true for some other things but then she's like so. We're going to sing you the traditional thanksgiving song. It's like the what like you know the the song. Don't you sing the song. And is she goes everyone and they sang it and the poor kids like so mortified but they were singing it an architect what this is. What are you talking about. And it was just one of those things you know ends up in a book with like. Oh here's a song about thanksgiving right but the way it's framed. It seems like this is what everyone sings. Am i o. Oh no no no Let's see there's a. There's a radio station that plays a song alice's restaurant every year by arlo guthrie. But that's not no big. Got nothing there but it was just like great moment and the kids sharing you know the difference between you know they had they have family in other states and they'd be like oh. Yeah down south like we you know. There's this tradition that my family has down in maryland in in my family over in kentucky my family and it's all a little different and it helped those kids in egypt realize just how frigging big the united states. That's it and it helps our kids. Our kids understand too. Like oh so you guys are in cairo. Yeah that's this tiny little dot in egypt. Egypt is a pretty big country is really big and Yeah yeah oh really. And i'm like yeah guys look man. That's awesome. i want to. I want to switch gears. Just a a little one of the things that i appreciate about you. is is your willingness to engage in in political conversations You re tweet politics Stuff you share your opinion on politics as an educator in your you're a well-known educator and You know. I think the common concern is is that you know this stuff can hurt you depending on where you live in particular. You know it's it's it's a little more concerning being from a red state predominantly red. Say you you live in maine. We're we're when i and i'm and i'm working with full. We are list of the purple states. And i'm you know. I'm whatever is more blue than your blue. That's what i you know. Technically technically oranges my color. Because i'm an end ep supporter. So there's that you know. I i always young. I'm just shy of being a socialist. So that's me. But i'm also fairly willing to share my political. We're facebook friends. We see those comments all the time. And so i i wanted to at least get your thoughts on you. Know how you feel about stepping out you know and sharing your thoughts on you. Know your your favorite senator You know whatever other thoughts you have in you know how you reconcile you know your job and your career in your your desire to travel and spread your message to other places that may or may not be More accepting of teachers sharing their political opinions What are your what are your thoughts.

Pennsylvania sent this is rex. Hi this is roberta perry. My question is and that completes my question as you know. I love to hear from you. If you got a question about this or any previous episode help you visit akimbo dot link. That's aka i m b o dot l. i. n. k. And click the appropriate button. The questions continue to be more and more far-reaching. Here we go. I says his eli. Condition washington dc. I'm a video producer. Journalists and i use woodworking as a hobby to clear my mind. Use my hands and I guess use a different part of my brain Than i do at work. I notice you mentioned woodworking on from time to time on your podcast. What's your relationship with woodworking. Thanks for this. Eli so many metaphors in woodworking. We'll start with a couple first of all sooner or later you're gonna use a dangerous tool the table. Saw is at the top of that list by even when we're talking about hand tools things like a fro- if you're not careful you might have a hand tool but you won't have a hand and this focuses the mind. The second part of the tool metaphor is that sharpened tools. Work so much. Better than non sharpen tools. I learned how to do woodworking from bobby. Cates and. Bobby taught me how to make canoe paddles out of a piece of cherrywood and i confess the first three paddles i made. Were with a spoke shave. That had never once been sharpened. It just got dollar and dollar. And i thought that's the way it was supposed to be so at seventeen when i discovered that tools could be sharpened in the sharpening itself was a craft. Another metaphor arises one of the things. I like about woodworking. Is that most of. It is about taking something away. You can't put anything back. And so there is a deliberate sort of subtraction which feels like a path that as michelangelo said the goal is to take away all the stuff. That doesn't belong in what you're left with is what you set out to make in the first place. Another metaphor is the idea that you're never done unless you announced yourself that you're done you can always make it a little smoother. You can always sand it a little longer. People who know me won't have any trouble guessing that that's not what i do. I seek out a level of appropriate finished for the tool. I am building. Because almost everything i make out of. What is tool primarily a canoe paddle or possibly a canoe and then i don't go any further because everything has an opportunity cost so yeah. I love making pedals. Maybe one day. I'll list one or two for sale. But i don't think so high set. This is from london. I will music producer and recently started producing music live on my streaming gentlemen youtube where people send their singing through their phone. Mikes so it's for people who just wanted to try out or wanna see this music. Industry art works. Can they think sector now out create a small community around it and they are very loyal almost they all turn up and it's like a nice collaborative effort we're doing on this livestream but at the same time the numbers are still going very slowly. It's been six months now. And i wanna know if i'm going through a deep or do i just stick with it just because i enjoy it or if the monetarily. The return is not great. How long do. I have to wait before i say. Okay that's it. I think i've done enough enough work. It'd be great if you can talk about the idea of enjoying your work but still understanding. Is it still worth keep doing it just for. Maybe something will happen in future. Thank you and as always. Thanks for these great podcasts. Thank you for this. This is a question that businesses and individuals wrestle with all the time. Which is does it happen at once. Do we become an overnight. Success is an overnight success. Myth is it the winner of a raffle or lottery. Is there a path forward. And what i would ask two questions question number one. Has anyone in your field ever once deliberately. Made it from where you are to where you want to go. If the answer is no the answer is you. Want to be the trendsetter. The person who goes from to a hundred miles an hour on a bicycle. I think that that's a quest. And you're entitled to a quest. But i don't think you should mortgage your house in anticipation of a quest because it's not reliable but if someone has come down this path before then the second question is this when they were in the early days. What were the signals that they saw that gave them hope that our hints that are symptoms that. Something's going to work. So if you think about a band trying to make it from the coffee shop circuit on its way up. The question is after you play on friday night. Does anyone come back again on saturday. If the answer is no if thirty people don't turn into thirty five people. Then maybe you're in the wrong place with the wrong music or maybe you need to work a lot more on your skill but what we know the famous example of arlo guthrie playing at the newport folk festival now sure are low was royalty. His father woody. Guthrie was the king of all the folksingers. But all that meant was that fifteen people came to hear that first rendition of alice's restaurant but then a few hours later they asked him to come back and play again for sixty one hundred making up the numbers and then one more time in one more time until he was the closing act. And that's when hurlock guthrie became. Arlo guthrie can you imagine three people all command a bar alice's restaurant walking out. They may think it's an organization and can you. Can you imagine fifty people fifty people a day walking in singing. Our allison's restaurant walking out and france they may think it's a movement and that's what it is the alice's restaurant and tom massa crave movement and all you gotta do the john is the singer. The next time it comes around on. The guitar doesn't have to happen in a weekend. It doesn't have to happen at a festival but if it's not happening at all well then maybe what. You're making his in as remarkable as could be so. Good luck with this work. I hope you can look at it with clear is and if you persist i'm wishing you the best with it his this untung from hamburg germany. I have another question. I just finished listening to conversation. That jack nova crats and krista tippett had where they invite you on couples. What was that now to come back at your thirty year. Run off going into the direction. You're going of giving talks traveling. The world giving speeches writing books that looking at the future ended time. That is now ahead of you. You'd think that that could have been other ways. You spend the thirty years which where closer to you. Think is important now and i actually feel being at that point so i'm wondering how do with and what can someone that is looking at a thirty year run. Take away from dad and make sure that we pick a path that no longer is about.

"Tonight is the last night and i on the original night It's when early in the morning. Every of the eighteenth everybody who's cleaning up and what i thought was remarkable about the original woodstock is that we left the field tidy. It wasn't like a big national. Where's it if you want to contrast that to some of The sites after the festival over We were very conscientious about cleaning. Which i think is very telling of people leaving place the way you found it. Sure sure now you you. You played on the first day though so were you originally day and I my life completely turned around. I mean the next day. I was contacted by him. You know news media I had never been on television. So this was like mean i always say i walked on the stage unknown and walked off stage celebrity because instantaneously either just resonating five hundred thousand people at one time is is is something that people don't normally get a chance to do no. Isn't that amazing to in that there was no there weren't cell phones. There was no social media. There was no way for the word to spread as you know as it does now as early as it does now but it it did it kept spreading and so you you overnight became a star before So how did you get on the bill at woodstock. What had you done. Who brought you in. How did that well. My husband had an office in the same building as of sixteen fifty broadway the address. We have An office and the people who are organizing of woodstock already cornfield and The other michael lang people that everybody hears about like along but there were lots of other guys right and arnie cornfeld is still bopping around. He lives down here. He's still he's still all over the place but still kicking day. Yeah invited you they. Yeah well i guess. Peter talk to them and they thought it would be good and It was a very eclectic. Line-up you know between the ravi shankar the nelani and arlo guthrie in china. Now i mean it was all over the map and The thing i thought it was a something that the promoters should learn from. Is that because everybody used. I mean might go. Lang tries to do the usual suspects that you go to coachella and see those people were bonnaroo or something those same people so instead of doing the live nation lineup. You know the The agency that took over all the agencies Instead of doing that kick peop- groups that have big followings but from different genres and a different age groups and Plus you know of course the original act and And put everybody together. Because i think that was part of the it was called an aquarian exposition. When it first started wasn't going to be called woodstock it was. It was was as far as i knew. This called the aquarian exposition and it was just gathering of artists and was going to be people selling craft and It it wasn't Touted as the biggest rock says there had been You know monterey pop and and they're already been they pop festivals. But this wasn't touted as that it was much more of a humanity get togethers on so It seemed like the perfect place for me. You know singing my song. Beautiful teeth so i had. That was the only song that if Maybe one percent of the whole audience ever heard on the radio because there was the dj called roscoe. Oh sure any new york everyone he w right. He played beautiful people and It had already been on like underground radio. Pirate radio stations These were set up in england and It was radio. Caroline radio veronica and they were out on ships because radio is control. It was all government radio and so they wanted to play something. They had to get approval of instead of doing that. They would just renegade radio stations and they were playing my beautiful people and Then underground radio playing college station started playing. It was before it was major central. Control of radio sure. Well yeah it was a while until that happened to the point where we are today where radio is just sort of a shadow of what it once was so melanie though when you appeared at woodstock you were as you said a relative unknown. You didn't you didn't have a hit until afterwards Now let me ask you the. I think the song that most of us know you buy is lay down was that that was inspired directly from woodstock we all came sing songs apiece so yeah absolutely is I was a right before. I'll set the stage quickly. Because it's it's a novel really. I spent the day at woodstock in a little tent with the jerk tour. I was not in the upper echelon sent There was such a thing. And i i felt it kind of saw it but it was over there and i think that's where the real big meals were and they had amenities and things like that. But i was in a little dirt tent right across from tim. Hardin and I think they wanted him to go on several times and he kept avoiding he finally went on. I was Assume because like i got to woodstock in holy copter and i did not just say goodbye to my mother the engines of the helicopter because they they've been who she and it's my mother. Mom hurry bomb by mom. I got an alec after by myself. I didn't even have the savage say. That's my rhody. You're right my base but You know just. I was such a. I was not a seasoned performer. I was just beginning. A career was beginning. I was writing and I was in england. Mostly and in fact i came back Without my husband who was my manager and my mom picked me up. And that's how. I think of my mother at the helicopter but i got to the fields as reaching haven where it is i think forty minutes free and he i had only met him in the village Few times he was like you. Know the pope of greenwich village and He guess they had told him he could keep going. And when i landed. I assume on next and i'll i'm absolutely terrified i was. I can't even tell you the thought of me going on that stage completely alone with just my guitar was terrifying thing..

Woodstock vibe experience That kind of meda created that album. Look up and she saw all these lights mean. People really bring candles to woodstock and if so why i mean I guess for camping purposes.

If your kid your kid has a 50 per CIA, it was Huntington's disease. And Arlo and Kathy and Jody and Nora. Um, where the Children of Arlo Guthrie. Um and it's interesting. It's Cathy. By and by her early thirties, started to see her health was declining. On day One of the other brothers received various diagnosis of 1950 to determine he was suffering from Huntington's disease. Arlo Guthrie never got tested. He could've had a test. They would have told him he had Huntington's disease. But he said, I don't want to know. And so that's one thing about science, you know? Is it first of all that ai tool I'm talking about is not 100% you heard 80%. But the Huntington's test would have told you if you have Huntington's disease, you have a 50% chance of dying and at a young age and I'm pulling these numbers from my memory, so I apologize if they're not exactly accurate. Um, And it's interesting. So what? He got three was young and he got it and you know he died. Fairly rapidly, but you know, Arlo didn't want to know. Obviously we have to know our covert condition, right? Whether we're positive negative. That's not what we're talking about.

Yeah, yeah, in the middle of it, and I made I don't remember my high school Spanish. I don't know what she was saying. But, of course, being so inclusive. She had to start doing parts of it and in Spanish. But yeah, any of that. Or, um, you know, to get into the more serious side of it. What did you think of Biden's speech? 1 802 831 of 1.5. And if you didn't see any of it if you didn't see 00. You know, I should not be dissing Garth Brooks. I was going to say, how was Garth Brooks? Amazing Grace that I did not hear. It was good. I don't know what it was. There was something distracting me about it. I don't know the cowboy hat. Something I don't know, but it was very good. Okay. It was very good. Um, I guess in a situation like that, even if you're a seasoned performer like Garth Brooks of Lady Gaga, you're just hoping not to fall flat on your face and become the talking point of the inauguration. Right, exactly. Yeah, because it's such an expectation that you can never really, you know, rise enough to the occasion. It's really just a matter of did you did you blow? Exactly the only memorable would be a negative exit? That's exactly what the exception. Maybe Whitney Houston's, uh, Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl. One year. Nobody ever talks about it. You know nobody right. That was a great one. Remember? Remember before this game, remember for that ceremony, right? Okay, well, you didn't screw it up. We're all happy. Let's get on with the procedures doing something like that is kind of like a first pitch on Li. The bad ones ever get. Remember that show the good ones on SportsCenter 50 times, right? Exactly exactly. All right. So you know, like I said, any of the lighter end of if you saw any of it. You could give us a comment, But even if he didn't see any of this if you didn't even catch any of the unity speech that President Biden was trying to, um, you know, get across. Are you just feeling good or you feeling bad? Are you feeling anything about this change? 1 802 83101.5 christened Piscataway. You're on New Jersey One of 1.5. With afternoon. Um I will say first of all, Lady God, I did not pull a Fergie aura. Roseanne. Really? David. She did a lot better. I was nervous, given her personal style, but she read it a good job with it. Um, I was skeptical going into the ceremony. I don't think the speech delivered quite unified message that he wanted to deliver. You think so? I see what he was going with it. But certain key words always seem to stand out that push one side or another. Way whether it's whether it's a Republican. Whether conservative what its democratic or or liberal, I felt like certain key words were thrown in there. And it just kind of it didn't seem like he could have left out. Certain things like we're referring to is the right supremacy or, you know you guys said we were working towards equality. When you throw a certain keywords in there, you will turn off people. Whether they agree with it or not. I completely disagree with any racial superiority White, black Hispanic and I am Hispanic. Whatever. Maybe so, I don't think certain key words. He needed the soil in there. I think they're put in there. His speech writer to try and Attempt to unify things, But when you put that in there, you put certain people in positions where they have to eat her. If they feel that either they're fully agree or fully disagree, and that's and that's not how you joined people together. We're happy. They're fully agree or disagree and okay, and that's fine. Everybody's gonna have their opinions on a day like this. That's fine. But I don't have any problem with a speech that is calling out white supremacy. I know I know the idea. I will call out every single day myself. But I think sometimes when, when you phrase certain things, and I don't think I have to go on record, But I will say I will be announced it every single day. I will denounce what happened at the Capitol, all violence that that's not how we're built. That's not how we should weigh, survive and grow. I just think that certain things that should go without saying that he doesn't have to say stuff like that. In order to say he's unifying the country. Would you think about the rest of the ceremony? Um, it was different. It was unique. Um I wa so pleased to see that Vice President Pence was there. Um, I was pleased to see that, but I just it seemed I don't know..

"Chicago. Okay alex i'd like to start us off with some sound go cubs go. Okay jesse a here so you can pause. It is it. Do you recognize the sound that the song they sing it cubs games. And i believe you have to win. But i'm not one hundred percent. Sure that yep you're absolutely right It's go cubs go and they play it over the public address system at wrigley field if the cubs win a home game. But there's actually a little bit of a dilemma was actually spotted by our question. asker it came from nick brunner and he noticed something in the third verse of the song which many people don't even know but it goes alex. Did you catch the problem. I know that. Wgn doesn't broadcast the baseball games anymore. Exactly the problematic line is you can catch it all on wgn which is not true anymore and in fact the cubs haven't been on wgn radio for a few years now but wgn tv has been there broadcast home for decades and that is no longer true as of this year because the cubs launching their own network marquee sports network. And you know the cubs. Probably don't want to promote a rival broadcaster in their own stadium. So nick our question. Asker wanted to know. What are the cubs going to do about that. So you could get a superfan maybe to write another song or rewrite the song but you could not get the original songwriter to rewrite it. Who is Steve goodman so here's his story. Steve goodman was born in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight grew up on the north side of chicago and his biographer. Clearly ill says he was a cubs fan from beginning. His dad would take him to wrigley. Skip school to go. See the cubs. And you've got gotta understand this time when the cubs were not drawing very many people. They never won. This was peak lovable. Losers cubs in fact. I just looked this up. A- he was born in nineteen forty eight the cubs did not have a winning season until nineteen sixty three so until he was fifteen years old he never saw them have a winning season. Yeah steve started getting into music when he was pretty young he saying in the choir at his temple. He was a boy soprano. He played guitar kind of high school. Full bend you never in highschool never signed without a guitar went off to college but didn't last very long because you didn't like to go to class you would rather play the guitar and right around this time. He's twenty years old. he is not feeling very well. He goes to the hospital and he is diagnosed at age. Twenty with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Very scary diagnosis. The prognosis for people. Who got diagnosed back. Then maybe six months you know. There wasn't really an effective treatment but they were just starting to develop these new cancer treatments. Any signed up for an experimental treatment and after several months of that the cancer actually goes into a remission in the summer of nineteen sixty nine. And that's really when he decides he's done with college and he's just going to focus on being a full-time folk musician. We all get these little signals in our life. It's sort of like being a light in the light either turns redder. It turns green. You know steph favor. Wait for the light. Sometimes pretty quickly. He could make a living just playing songs singing songs in a handful of bars around chicago. There were all these clubs And they were really just kind of like bars like places where you know. Maybe you could get fifty sixty seventy chairs you know. There is the url of old town which became his home. Our own steve goodman some performers would just get up and sing their songs. Steve would do that. He was virtuoso guitar player but he also was a storyteller this song after i walked to the bottom of the grand canyon in one thousand nine hundred ninety five. Just got back. He talked about the cubs a lot. And how terribly they were doing that was kind of a theme because they haven't wondering my lifetime. I'm not that young. Just charmed everybody. Okay so by the early one thousand nine hundred eighty s. Steve is making his living as a folksinger as a musician. And he's pretty successful and he's lived ten years longer than the original doctors would have predicted. You know he's in his early thirties but he still has two goals. They're still things that are alluding him and one is that he's never had a hit song on the charts where he's the performer. And the singer other people have recorded songs he wrote and had hits. You know maybe most notably arlo guthrie. The son of woody guthrie at a number four easy listening hit with the city of new orleans. The country singer. David allan kkob had a country. Hit with you never even called me by my name. It kind of makes fun of country but it made it onto the country music charts. Well brennaman name. Steve goodman wrote that saw and he told me it was the perfect country song but he was never the singer on those hits up to that point and you know it's clear that he may have been a little frustrated about that. Why didn't he hit. Well there are a lot of possible reasons. But his biographer klay heels has a theory back in the nineteen seventies. he was discovered by the country. Singer kris kristofferson goodman was being handed the brass ring you know. Would you like to come to new york to start a recording contract. Most anybody in that circumstance say gee yes thank you thank you but the first thing out of goodman's mouse was if you think i'm good. You gotta hear my friend. John prime he had this instinct towards generosity. And i'm not sure that always worked in his favour art. That kind of generosity is more of a great life lesson but it doesn't necessarily translate into becoming a household word guy. Yeah yeah maybe he was just too nice to have a hit so that was goal number one and moving onto gold number to remember. Steve loved baseball. Have been trying to write a song about baseball for four years. And i gave about three quarters of the way through it then i walked somebody and take myself out now. Finished the damn thing. It's baseball metaphor. You know it's basically means failure. True i get about three quarters away through it and then then i'm struggling. You know it's a after and i'm looking to the bench and the manager comes out so he's been trying to write a baseball song for years and finally in nineteen eighty one. He wakes up.

"In Madison called 321. 13. 10 statewide called told for yet 877235 13 10. Now here's Vicki McKenna. Good afternoon. Welcome. The program. It's the Vicki McKenna show. I'm Vicki McKenna. Who was dicey there, folks. We didn't know You don't know what I'm going to say. We don't know if our Internet connection was gonna be up and running, so he didn't know if we could even do the show today, Right? And I was sitting there going. You gotta let me I got to get on the air. Today of all the days I have to get on the air today. You know, I've always wanted to say this with regard to the conservatives, and and I I You know, I don't I've seen nothing that shows violence at the Capitol, some rowdy, really animated and pissed off people but at violence And so If there is violence, I pre condemned that violence. I mean to say that right if there's violence, I condemn it. But what I'm seeing on TV right now. I've always wanted to say this. This is what democracy looks like. And you know what? It's messy. It's it's in polite sometimes, but there are millions of people in this country who are not getting a fair hearing. And about 100 or 200,000 of them are in Washington, D C today, trying to get their voices heard. Now what we have heard of his reports of protesters storming the Capitol. Well, it's the people's house. And as long as the protesters storming the Capitol aren't breaking things, burning things, beating people up shooting people hurting anybody. You know what considerate civil disobedience and here's what I hope happens. Ball 200,000 of them sit down into a massive sit in and chant no justice, no peace and sing Arlo Guthrie songs until the paddy wagons drag him out. That's what I hope. But everybody seems to be very uptight now on CNN and MSNBC and Fox News. Oh my gosh, These were people calling riots in Minneapolis, mostly peaceful protests, So I don't take anything that I'm hearing from those sources. Literally, all right, someone who's a non on the scene. Bird's eye view. He's there. He's an absolute first person. Sources. Ron Johnson And and, yes, you were locked down. Good to have you on the program. Glad you're safe. I don't want any violence like utterly condemn violence. But tell us what happened first and then tell us what's gonna happen for the rest of the afternoon and welcome to the program. Well, thank you. I would go a little further The vic yet I don't want to see any lawlessness. And, you know, I understand. People saw us outside the thing. But you come in under general rules, so From my standpoint, we're seeing the Senate chamber and James Langford was in the middle of his speech used on the group of us that just wanted to point out that we shouldn't be dismissing the concerns of tens of millions of Americans. Be very respectful. The other side can't stay. The same was true in terms of speakers from the other side. It was set up where leadership was allocating. Which is basically the Democrats get to attack us and then Republican get to attack us unless we get basically 25 to speaking time to make our point. So unfortunately, James is the second one to stand up. And really talk about our position, but That's where we were. When all of a sudden we noticed the vice president was ushered out of the chamber. I thought it's just kind of changing the guard. I thought because it's not Chuck Grassley, the president Pro TEM in sand. I thought he was just gonna take the chair. Then you saw him hustled out. Then a bunch of staff start coming in the chamber, and then they seal the chamber. And there was there's a moment there. Where get away from the doors. I guess people were pounding on the doors. We got great big, kind of like The Wizard of Oz tapes the doors to steal the Senate chamber, and we're kind of in that lockdown for I don't know. You built. Oh, figure it out. Based on TV about 5 10 minutes, then all of a sudden is okay. Evacuate. Evacuate Quick! What? One door downstairs back through the tunnel. Again. I thought it was very orderly. I personally never felt threatened. I didn't see anything that nobody really approach that group. They did pretty good job feeling down the corridor. We called you got the Senate chamber. But again, I don't condone lawlessness. I if he's there all Trump supporters. I wish they stay outside and And do what Trump supporters normally do You love this country and be respectful of laws and not threaten anyone? That's current state affairs. I can't I just really don't know. First off. I'm very glad it and if you're watching C span You saw? I don't know. I saw about 20 people. You know, Some of them were taking pictures. You know what? We're we're not talking about the Kanno Shion riots here. Okay? We're not talking about the Madison riots here. We're talking about. I mean, I think justifiably angry people who wanted to have their voices heard. And, you know, I'm not sure if they even know what the rules of, you know of getting into the building are I think they wanted into the building. They considered it their right to be in the building. You know again, I I also condemn violence, but I'm not even sure that what we saw was Wallace's remembered in the cabin. All hearings. The Democrats inviting cooks and rabble in so that they could mob the doors harass members of the U. S senators they were getting into elevators. I mean that that was considered democracy in action by the media. I don't even know what happened here. I'm looking at a picture on Fox News and what I'm seeing are a bunch of people standing on the steps of the Capitol and waving flags and chanting things. So what really happened here? I think it's something we're gonna have to wait till tomorrow. Actually find out Yeah, I guess I saw some free concerned looks on law enforcement. They did incredible job of pushing people out safely. I've seen some pictures that make it look a little bit more mayhem. People either shooting out something. Uh, heard they're shooting out the fire stinkers set extensions that time Think so again. It'll all be sorted out. But I hope things can calm down. I think these proceedings were probably over for for the day, which is unfortunate, but That's where we're at. So we until let's go to the actual proceedings here to members of the 11 that the group of 11 U. S. Senators that we're planning to object were actually able to speak. Way had 1.5 in Langford. It only kind of begin began his respectful comments. But we were getting fumble pretty bad by Why don't Democrats and Republicans So the Republicans when we expect the Democrats to pummel you, right, That's what they do. And the Republicans were pummeling Yuhas well and explain this to me. What was what was the objection, But I mean, I understand, saying We don't want to be sore losers or whatever like that, but what you guys are asking for is to have an investigation. Into the allegations that were not allowed to be investigated in the multiple lawsuits that were filed by the campaign. I think what I took offense to is the fact that just, you know, raising subjection, you know? Requiring a vote was somehow going to shake the very foundations of this republic that it was. You know, it was a danger to our democracy into our constitutional and in constitutional type of thing. Which person? Thanks a bunch of bunk. You certainly have. I had my speech written out. I know exactly what I'm going to say. I don't know there will be able to give it what? I'll probably use the shooting press release so people can understand Really what? I'm where I'm coming from, But I've been pretty consistent here. I understand, and I actually sharing agree with the past Tuchel concerns expressed But where I disagree and write different with the people that are opposed to this is that I'm not going to be dismissing. The legitimate concerns of tens of millions America that just sit by and they have been watching for four years, but they watch the attempted coup the grotesque. Miscarriage of justice with Michael Flynn but corrupt investigation into a duly elected president. They they see the grotesque level of bias in the media for the bike where the media interferes. With far greater extent than anything any foreign power could hope to achieve in terms of affecting our pals, politics and they chose their man They got there there personally elected..
