"Breaker. And I have a fascinating story here. From breitbart. Dutch prime minister tells public not to cuddle grandkids as Christmas is canceled in the Netherlands. Did you see that one? They sent it to me. So I should infer. Oh, by the way, I made a big mistake. Wow, it was not. It was not pavarotti. It was Placido Domingo. I feel bad about speaking about the pavarotti in a way in a way that might have impugned his character. And I don't believe his character's impugn, but I just some might. Michelle Christmas has been canceled in Netherlands with the Dutch prime minister telling the public they can not cuddle their grandchildren prime minister Mark rutte has told the Dutch public that there would be no cuddling the grandkids this Christmas. After the government effectively canceled Christmas. Lockdown restrictions in the country were extended by the government on Tuesday. And are now only set to expire after the holidays on January 14th. I should have Ava on the fantastic young Dutch woman I met in Hungary. Let's have her on next week. According to the telegraph, the extended measures include the so called avant avant lockdown, or evening lockdown. Oh, oven. It's opened in German, very similar languages. Which forces restaurants cafes and non-essential retail, to close between 5 p.m. and 5 a.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. how a restaurant is going to survive in the Netherlands. Wow. This reveals the decline of the west more. Vividly than anything in my lifetime. The wimps that have been made, the fools that governed. The weakness, the non concerned with liberty, the non concern with the little guy. Supermarkets, meanwhile, are only allowed to remain open until 8 or 8 p.m.. The government is also requested for schools to close a week early. With primary schools to be close for the holidays from Monday, and that people work from home where possible. This will do nothing. This will do nothing..

And it was like all these people who you don't see in phase to yes and it was super crazy. Being the weird thing is i would like i have this weird feeling having seen them right in a meeting there was one point when they were accepting agronomy. Where i'm pretty sure. I saw one of them in the audience so i don't know if they did a trick even like they were doing performance. Art to the church or trick. The grammys. that's the. I don't know i could see them. Not accepting the grants sending doubles to to. Actually i wouldn't you know i mean. I think they were there watching right. Right it's all like radiohead did. The grammys wants and tom. York did it with the marching band and it was a super weird thing of like. They had a fantastic performance. But it was one of those fifteen step. Is that what it's called.

John denver who you just played the taking home country road yes. I wrote the grammy fortieth anniversary. Whatever there was like a coffee table book. So i had to watch the raw feeds of every grammy show in history. John denver hosted the show for years and he was very very. Good andy williams. I guess it'd been before it was like as they were moving towards l. o. Cool jay talk slowly but the crazy thing is almost everyone else who ever hosted is a singer or a rapper. Ll or like a comedian. A lot of comedians. Like you would see doing ellen. Or whatever and they're always inbetween commercials there trying to entertain people. John denver was unique in that. When i watched the raw footage of him like inbetween commercials and there was nothing he just looked straight ahead at the like waiting for the prompter and then he then he was great but it was like he turned on only when the camera waitress really unique. I've never seen anything quite like. I'm john denver to it. Sounds like a robot to me but instead so it's daft punk. Yeah i know robots in the music industry as your eyes tonight. That's a deep john. Denver cut that. I love absolutely love from the eighties. When nobody gave a shit about john denver anymore when he that was the last sort of big moment was that would domingo placido domingo perhaps love which is one of the of. I have to say it makes me cry. It's time it's beautiful. It's absolutely beautiful crazy. It's a little bit like coolio. And willie nelson like two voices. Who probably shouldn't technically but there's something about it. That just moved me i. You're not going to get a fight for me. I went to john denver phase. Right listen to that on on every plane. Ride reflects on slake. There's a guy named milk oaken. Who was like john denver very because manager producer guy. He also did peter. Paul and mary he did. Domingo did perhaps love but he did. Laura niro but i had. I wrote liner notes for john. Denver's songs best friend this anthology that came out like fifteen years ago but i sat with him and he was like he was hysterical because he was just like I got like all the john denver stories in one sitting with an old old guy in a beverly hills room. There's nothing i would rather do than sit in here. John denver stories. Because no one's telling john denver's degrees anymore they wonderful. I opening they were. They were wonderful peter. Paul mary he like he was. He was mad at. Peter poll or mary or the hamper sand wanted to say. It's paul stuckey When you were watching all that grammy footage did you watch the. Maybe this might be one of those things right. Remembered it wrong my entire life. But there's the footage of andy williams with stevie wonder stevie wonder should it's the most amazing thing. Let me see what i remember. A this is what i remember. Because i'd ever seen the footage again since i was a kid when it was live. They're trying to go to a satellite with stevie wonder and he says stevie. Can you see us because we can see you is that what happens is a i think stevie wonder is like in zaire like that and it's like their earlier attempt to do live. Oh no and it's the most awkward. It's it's like andy. Williams was like on the role of hosting the show forever and after stevie. Can you see me stevie. Can you see us never again. I think that was the end. That was like these songs in the key of life year. I think we're okay. And that's my favorite the favourite. Grammy joked that. Just you know. Paul simon known for his actually. It was funny but also know. There's a great artist but he was like when he won in the intervening year. He went like. I'd like to thank first and foremost stevie wonder for not putting it out.

"Was a Placido Domingo was Andrea Bocelli. Now it's just a cop. I was a little bit more than a cop. It was Daniel Rodriguez, who became known as the singing policeman and full NYPD uniform singing God Bless America that day, and, frankly, I've said it, Daniel singlehandedly bringing God bless America Back into American ballparks. They still sing it usually on Sundays. Now, after The seventh inning stretch and I'm so honored to talk to you. Thanks for being here today. Thank you, Larry to it's a pleasure to be here with you to mark this morning. And, uh, yeah, that's uh, that's uh, a big big number.

How did you do this? Knowing that your your brothers were, you know, still being recovered? Their remains were still being recovered Just down at the tip of Manhattan while you're standing there in the Bronx in full uniform, and you got through it like I mean, honestly, what an incredible moment for you. How do you do it? Well, I think, um, I think the most important thing is that you know, I've been I've been a cop for I was a cop for some time, almost almost 10 years then, But I've been saying all my life and, um, for me. It was more of a calling when I got the chance to sing at Yankee Stadium because I I was looking for something myself to give me. Um, to start my healing I need I needed something to make sense of this. Senseless act And when I stepped onto the field and when they announced my name, and I saw the capacity crowd just here, I knew that we were going to be okay. I knew that. You know this resilient city this This is this attitude of you know, we're not going to go hide in caves, um, was alive and well and Um, it gave me the strength to do my absolute, very best rendition of God bless America, and it was a message that I believe I was giving it at that point that came from somewhere beyond myself something higher than myself, and it began began to heal process of healing from him. Daniel, this is Patrice and Luca. Take us back to that day. I mean, I understand that you were driving to work when the first plane hit the World Trade Center share your reflections of that moment. Hi, Patricia. I was Yeah, that morning I was coming from Staten Island where I lived, and I was starting my day work. My I started a tour a little later in the day. So for the most part, might like Crew. My my co workers were already in network. I'm crossing the Arizona Bridge and, um, sometimes during the during the crossing traffic got a little heavy and I'm not stopped, and I just kind of daydreaming. The radio was not working for some reason and And then I saw actions coming across the mid span of the Arizona Bridge, and I couldn't my life from me thinks where is that is coming from in the middle of the Hudson River. When I looked over to the left, I saw the first tower was burning and It was just unbelievable. You know, to see the site and that's the first thing that came to my mind is, you know there has to be some kind of maybe gas main explosion. I had no idea what it was. The only thing I knew was that I had to get to work. I had to get there because my crew at all would already be there. Um, there was a caravan of emergency vehicles coming across and I got in my present vehicle. Just before the they passed very lucky and That got me down to the HIV linked down to the battery tunnel. And the last moment, um, I made a left instead of a right as the reason I'm here to tell the story. I went down to City Hall and I was just I was just outside the towers when they came down rather than inside so Uh, yeah, and with witnessed terrorism made my peace with God that day, and I thought about my family and and all the friends that I had lost the life that was lost when those towers came down. We are speaking Lieutenant Rodriguez, known as the singing Policeman and Y P D Cup. Who, as you just heard was right there at ground zero. When the towers came down, he is known as as sort of an icon of the of the spirit of New York coming out of those events, and I do mean it between you And, of course, the iconic moment of President George W. Bush trying out the first pitch of the first game back at Yankee Stadium, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani commissioner Bernie Kerik, this idea of New York resilience and you're not going to mess with our city that embodied the aftermath of 9 11 20. Years later, I got to ask Daniel as a New Yorker, very different New York City that we're looking at right now. What do you make of it? That's a different worlds. Yeah, Um, And it's funny, because, um, I've been discussing this for some time. Now. That was the podcast called America's song that was being done by The Washington Post and And the discussion was the the idea of God Bless America being such a uniting force during the aftermath of September 11th and you know today it could be activists as divisive residents united because of the way the The country is just, you know, just Become so divided and, um, I am I have my own issues of PTSD and and, you know, depression after 9, 11 and I'll tell you it doesn't help to turn on T V and see, Um Taliban flags over our embassies.

So It's kind of something for everything, though I must say we really do concentrate on the music, which is the earlier days when it was just all about music certainly acknowledge the importance of the if you will, the reality TV era, but But for the most part since we are the Grammy Museum at the interest is most in the music. I'm joined by Bob Santelli, founding executive of the Grammy Museum and curator of the MTV turns 40 Exhibit. So can you tell us a little bit more about the Grammy Museum itself and what it's all about. Beyond this particular exhibit at the Grammy Museum is really Grammy Museum's There are three technically and in the country, the Mothership is in Los Angeles, and then we have our Grammy Museum Mississippi, which is where the MTV exhibitors And then we have a satellite called the Grammy Museum Experience, which is in Newark, New Jersey. The whole idea of having more than one is really to reach out into communities because for an educational institute institution, reach out to artists, students, the teachers and we do. Public programs, education programs and, of course, exhibits. What was the initial idea behind the creation of the Grammy Museum? Well, you know, it's an interesting thing because many years ago in the back in the 19 nineties, the Recording Academy, which is the official name most people with Call it the Grammys. But where the Recording Academy and we give out the Grammy Awards and do the Grammy Award show. We had always wanted to do a museum, but really couldn't settle on exactly where that should be. Should it be in Memphis, New Orleans or New York or LA and eventually we figured it should be in l A, which is The home of the Recording Academy and, of course, the Grammy Awards. And so we decided basically to showcase not just what we do as an institution, but to Provide a platform for looking at all kinds of American music because the Grammys are about all kinds of we're not just about rock like the Rock and Roll Hall of fame or jazz or blues or country where all of that so it really required us to have chemicals around the country in Mississippi, Of course, where were located the Mississippi Delta That's really the birthplace of American music. When you think about gospel or blues, or R and B rock and roll, even they all have connections to the Mississippi Delta. So when we decided to expand beyond Los Angeles, that was a logical place for us to go.

Yeah, well, you know our landmarks and really the most important thing that we do in terms of public program.

But really, they take place in Los Angeles because so many of the artists these days In any genre, either live in Los Angeles have a second home in Los Angeles. It's their managements in Los Angeles. So an evening with is basically imagine. Imagine MTV unplugged. Meets inside the actors studio. That's what it is. It's a comprehensive interview that we record for our archives. We talk to artists about the creative process, their roots their influences. And then there's an unplugged performance meaning kind of spontaneous, impromptu performance by the artists because they take place in very tiny theater is about 200 ft. We record these, and, uh, it's basically history from the horse's mouth. So to speak. We have everyone from Oh, and opera to Placido Domingo and R and B Smokey Robinson Blues buddy Guy rock at Shirin, You know, Hella Swift, you name it. They've done it with us.

You know, we have a straight shot into America's music education programs throughout the country. We try to aid them with Teacher lesson plans for our exhibits. We do things, um With with honoring great teachers and music education. The idea is to keep the arts alive in schools Great K through 12, and that's a tough A tough challenge these days because so many schools have cut or at least diminished arts programs, particularly music, and so we try and fight the good fight and get it back into the school systems and where it can't. Then we try and supplement that kids have access to something we strongly believe. As I'm sure many of your listeners do that, you know, having the humanities and the arts as part of your daily life and and growth as a young person is really important.

They are well entrenched in pop music and pop culture, and the network would grow to a place where all the biggest artists in the world would come on to be part of MTV. You actually feature memorabilia. From some of the biggest music acts of all time. And you also highlight in this exhibit some iconic programming like Unplugged and Beavis and Butthead shows. Everyone knows That's right. You know, there's three real path to go through the exhibit. One is the history of MTV in which we have really great stuff from the collections of Bob Pittman and John Sykes. Early ideas about marketing and you remember the great song money for nothing by dire straits and staying crooning. I want my MTV, which they turned into a massive marketing campaign very successful, too. So we have that whole story. Then we have the story of the artists themselves. We have objects and artifacts from Michael Jackson's have State from Madonna from Hard Rock Cafe and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame lent us objects. We have things. From Bon Jovi and and from Poison and some of the early hair metal bands that were very popular on MTV in the early days, and then the third level is a lot of really cool either interviews where people are recollecting about their experiences at MTV, or we show you, for instance, the very first show jersey sure or or we of Beavis and Butthead and some great memorabilia from these programs as well. So there's kind of something for everything, though I must say we really do concentrate. Right on the music, which is the earlier days when it was just all about. Music certainly acknowledge the importance of the if you will, the reality TV era, but But for the most part since we are the Grammy Museum at the interest is most in the music. I'm joined by Bob Santelli, founding executive of the Grammy Museum and curator of the MTV turns 40 Exhibit. So can you tell us a little bit more about the Grammy Museum itself and what it's all about. Beyond this particular exhibit at the Grammy Museum is really Grammy Museum's. There are three technically in the country. The mothership is in Los Angeles, and then we have our Grammy Museum Mississippi, which is where the MTV exhibitors And then we have a satellite called the Grammy Museum Experience, which is in Newark, New Jersey. The whole idea of having more than one is really to reach out into communities because we're an educational institute institution, reach out to artists, students, the teachers and we do. Public programs, education programs and, of course, exhibits. What was the initial idea behind the creation of the Grammy Museum? Well, you know, it's It's an interesting thing because many years ago in the back of the 19 nineties, the Recording Academy, which is the official name most people call it the Grammys. But where the Recording Academy and we give out the Grammy Awards and do the Grammy Award show. We had always wanted to do a museum, but really couldn't settle on exactly where that should be. Should it be in Memphis and New Orleans or New York or LA and eventually we figured it should be in l A, which is The home of the Recording Academy and, of course, the Grammy Awards. And so we decided basically to showcase not just what we do as an institution, but to Provide a platform for looking at all kinds of American music because the Grammys are about all kinds of we're not just about rock like the Rock and Roll Hall of fame or jazz or blues or country where all of that so it really required us to have chemicals around the country in Mississippi, Of course, where were located the Mississippi Delta That's really the birthplace of American music. When you think about gospel, blues, or R, and B rock and roll, even they all have connections to the Mississippi Delta. So when we decided to expand beyond Los Angeles, that was the logical place for us to go. Tell us about some of the programs the Grammy Museum offers, which really are key to continuing to nurture and develop musical talent across the country. Yeah, well, you know our landmarks and really the most important things that we do in terms of public program. It's called an evening with in the evening with programs take place in Los Angeles, Mississippi, as well as in New Jersey. But really, they take place in Los Angeles because so many of the artists these days In any genre, either live in Los Angeles have a second home in Los Angeles with their managements in Los Angeles. So an evening with is basically imagine. Imagine MTV Unplugged meets. Inside the actors studio. That's what it is. It's a comprehensive interview that we record for our archives. We talk to artists about the creative process, their roots their influences. And then there's an unplugged performance, meaning a kind of spontaneous, impromptu performance by the artists because they take place in very tiny theater is about 200 ft. We record these And, uh, it's basically history from the horse's mouth. So to speak. We have everyone from Oh, and opera Placido Domingo and R and B Smokey Robinson Blues buddy Guy rock at Shirin and you know, Tele swept you Name it. They've done it with us. We can now have done over 1000 of these hard to believe in the last 12 years. I'm joined by Bob Santelli, founding executive of the Grammy Museum. In certain parts of the country, music programs have almost been completely wiped out. What are some of the programs the Grammy Museum offers to try to fill that void. That's absolutely right. You know, we have a straight shot into America's music education programs throughout the country. We try to aid them with Teacher lesson plans for our exhibits. We do things, um With with honoring great teachers and music education..

"All right. You could make fun of me again because I had no idea there were so many covers. Of over the rainbow. I mean, you think of Oh, somewhere over the rainbow, I think of this. What? Well, off course, the great Judy Garland. But then yesterday on the show, it turns out that this guy's version in Hawaii now he passed away several years ago, but This guy. The ukulele just passed one billion views on YouTube with this version of over the rainbow with Boom boom, Wait. No, you're absolutely right. That is it. But then I realized, OK, Here's my naivete came in Michael. I didn't realize there are always other covers to this song. What's the singer's name was just saying that one with the ukulele? Yeah, the Hawaiian guy does roll first thing. This is real. They call him is Marco we? Whoa! Wait. Anyway, It's very interesting. The story of over the rainbow was written by YEP. Harburg, lyricist and Harold Arlen, the great composer and the idea Yep. Ed was for all right. So here's this girl. She lives in Kansas and its arid and the movie begins in black and white, and it's dry, boring place and the only color she's ever seen. Is a rainbow. Harold Arlen thought, Ooh, That's a good idea for a song. There's trying to come up with a melody. And he was blocked and he said to his wife. Let's just go for a drive, he said. Got to think you drive and as they were driving Suddenly he heard in his mind. Mm hmm. Those notes right back to the house and wrote the song in about 10 minutes. And it's maybe the great, um, popular song of all time. So anyway, we've come up with some covers. Some really give me an artist you like and I will see if we have it here. All right. So well, let's go with you Gotta go with Sinatra. Come on, So won't the rainbow scars on on Look, claims that you did to dream really do come true. I really never knew there was a Sinatra version. I'm not saying I'm crazy about it, so I'm not crazy about it either. It's like Sinatra kind of just tossing that one off because he knows he's got to do with somewhere over the rainbow cover, So it's not that good. But now, Bartlett Bartlett's He's got good taste here. Yeah, surprise. Surprise. Yes, Marshall likes he likes one of our friends on the show, Katharine McPhee's version of over the Rainbow. Okay. Whoa. Oh, I can't. That's pretty solid Catholic there. You got that solid Now Here's a very moving one. And many of you maybe you have seen this video on YouTube. You know, after the terrible shootings at Sandy Hook, the Newtons the Newton kids, the stewed town they sang Newtown. Yes, Sorry, Newtown. They sang over the rainbow. So here's the new town students. That's that's you know, if you watch that, you know you don't cry when you watch that. Oh, my God. Oh, now, here's one. That's um well, I found this one.
