A highlight from S13 E16: Oliver: Writer, Producer, and Novelist Spotlight
"Hello, welcome to The Loney Show. I'm your host, John Mayolone. In this episode, don't have regulars, because raisins, as always, unfortunately. As for our guest, he's from Portland, Oregon, currently living in Los Angeles, California, and he is a film producer. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Oliver Tutill Jr. Well, thank you, Peter. It's actually Ted Hill Jr. But thanks for having me on your show. I'm excited to be here. Anytime. So, how's life? It's good. It's really exciting. I love the film business. I've been in the business for quite a while. And it's very exciting meeting different people, talking to different producers, actors, filmmakers, editors, composers, business financing. It's all very exciting. You meet a lot of very interesting people that are very involved in their work and are very creative. Ah, very good. And have you been up to much recently? Yeah, we've been pretty busy. My company's name is Cinema Development and Writing Services. And my business partner is Tara Walker. And what we do is, when we started out, we've had our business about a year now. And anybody that's curious, they can just go to cinema wds .com. That's our website. And what we do is, we work with novelists, and we adapt their novels into screenplays. And then once we've adapted them into screenplays, we've been asked by our clients to, well, can you place this with Hollywood companies? And we said, well, yeah, we probably can, you know, we weren't doing that. We're primarily focused on writing, but we started packaging, which means that we started putting together like a deck of electronic brochure that shows the actors we thought might be good for the role, and what the director is. And then we present it to different production companies, different producers and finance companies in Los Angeles, and sometimes in New York as well. Okay, very nice. And what inspired you to start all that? Well, I think I started out in the business, and so did Tara, we were both actors. And we enjoyed that. But it's, it's very, very tough. Getting regular work as an actor, you go through good times, and then there's these long stretches where you don't have much work. And so we said, Well, how can we get more involved in business? And so we both decided, well, why don't we become producers? So Tara started her own production company years ago called Alpenfest films. And then I started, I started out making a production company called Autumn Tree Productions, where I, at that time, this was in the late 1980s, I pretty much focused on making educational films, and actually was pretty much on emotional child abuse. And I did that for 10 years, I had a lot of success. A lot of my films, educational films are used in universities and colleges and many institutions. And after doing that for 10 years, I wanted to segue over into doing commercial motion pictures and, and documentaries. So I started a company called Bluewood films. And under that name under that company, I produced quite a few films and documentaries and pleased to say that some of them are on streaming platforms now where people can can see them. I just have my newest release was just last month. It's called Crazy Horse of Life, featuring Russell Means, the late Nakoda actor who did very well. Right, then. Very good. And have you ever considered like, releasing any of your work on an international level? Yes, I mean, Crazy Horse of Life is available internationally. They can definitely time to be TV so anybody can go to to be TV and anywheres in the world basically and watch it for free. It's ad supported. And then we've got another film called the right to bear arms, which is a dramatic crime feature starring john savage. And that's available on Amazon Prime and Amazon freebie and also on to be TV. And we've got another film that's distributed internationally. It's also on to be TV. It's called the Loch Ness Monster of Seattle and it features Graham Green, the Academy Award nominated actor from Dances with Wolves. It's been doing very well. My distributor is very pleased. He just sent me a letter the other day and he said how happy is that how well it's doing. So those those three films are available now. We've got new ones that are going to be coming out later this year. We're excited about. Wow, fantastic. So where would you see yourself 20 years from now? Well, that's a good question. And 20 years is a long time. But I would say in 20 years, I'd probably see myself and Tara, my business partner, our own company now, but probably producing eight to 12 motion pictures a year. Also, I'm a composer too. So I probably, I haven't been doing my composing recently, but I've, I've scored a lot of motion pictures and documentaries. And it's a matter of fact, Crazy Horse of Life. The score I did that score and I did actually I wrote the score years ago, but it's used in this big feature now and I scored the movie right to bear arms as well. So but 20 years, I want to still be producing movies and helping actors and helping create jobs for people that work in the industry. You badly because they can't get work. Yes, of course. So I want to provide jobs for people. And also, I'm a novelist as well. And I hope to have a few more novels released. I just had my first novel released by awesome Achilles publishers, which is their home offices in London. So it's definitely an international release. And it's called when the sunlight goes down, goes dark, excuse me, when the sunlight goes dark. And it's about a young, young boxer living in Los Angeles, who has to deal with unscrupulous promoters. And one of the one of the supporting characters in the book is a man from England who who wins one of the heavyweight titles. It's also a book that it also covers worker exploitation, family dysfunction, spousal Okay, fantastic. Yeah, let me just mention, Peter, that people can look at it to go to the website for the book. It's when the sunlight goes dark .com. That's the website for the book. And it's also available on amazon .com and Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, any bookstore, you go into any reputable bookstore, and they can order it for you. All right, then very good. So in terms of your written work, besides what, besides the novels you've just written, are there any more novels you're yet to write or have released? I do have one novel. It's called primordial division. I'm searching for the right agent to rep it. It's kind of a crime horror novel. It's also set in Los Angeles in the 1970s and 1980s. And it's about a woman who has the ability to see the future. She's kind of one of these mind readers and the kid, the male protagonist is able to, he's got the power of telepathy. Very good. And it's set in the context of the entertainment industry. Oh, nice, nice. What could you give a 40 minute presentation on without any preparation? I'm sorry, say that again, Peter, a 14. What could you give a 40 minute presentation on without any preparation? Oh, a 40 minute presentation? I could give it on, definitely, I could probably give it on, I made educational films for 10 years. So I could do on an education, I could do one on the film business. They cover all the aspects of the film business from development to pre production to production to post production, exhibition and distribution. I could do that for you. I've been in the music business since I was a kid. So probably give you a one on that as well. So, okay, very good. What which recent news story have you found most interesting? That's a really great question. The recent most recent news story that I found the most interesting probably would be what's going on with our climate and what's happening to the earth in regards to the climate crisis that's happening in the world today. That's that's one of them, I guess I know it's a big topic, but it definitely stands out. I'm also fascinated by what's going on in American politics today, who's running for president and what's going on in Congress in the Senate. And I'm also very concerned with the state of our country, you know, and how divided people are and how unhappy so many people are. Yeah, absolutely. I was gonna also say to my friends who are very struggling because they have kids, and it's hard for them to get daycare for the kids. So I have one friend, she had to give up work because she, she couldn't afford to hire a babysitter or a nanny or daycare. So yeah, she had to give up her job. Oh, no, that's just sad. Very sad, very sad, the income inequality in this, in the United States. I'm not an expert in your country, but in the United States, it's very sad to see so many people that are divided by class. Wow, I thought the UK was bad. I didn't know that the US has got bigger problems given its size. Yeah, there's a lot of problems. Definitely. We've seen the erosion of the middle class here. You know, it's been kind of disappearing for years. And the income inequality that exists in this country, it's pretty bad. And as well as you know, there was a, I was watching, I was watching News Nation the other night and the big story presented by Chris Cuomo, who's an interesting newscaster, whose brother to his brother to the former governor. And he his top story was these kids that these babies, basically, the toddlers and daycare that died from fentanyl overdoses. And he's all over that. And I'm thinking, yeah, that's, that's tragic. But a lot of people don't want to address what's happening kids into this country, they have many kids suffer from abuse, and how they it's very difficult for them to thrive and survive become and constructive citizens. That that puts something into the country that helps it grow more. Yeah, absolutely. You know, I can share one thing with you, I used to be a teacher. And I taught drama at a film school and a college, as well as film production. And I had a class, this is in Seattle, Washington. And I had a class where I had a quite quite a number of kids that were African American. And I'll never forget this, Peter, because like, they would come to class, sometimes the girls would be crying and go, what's wrong? She go, Well, Joey got killed last night. He said, What are you talking about? She goes, Yeah, Joey, you know, he got on the top of he got on the roof of Dan's car and Dan shot him to death. I said, Oh, you don't read about that in the paper. And then then another day, a girl came into class, she was weeping. I said, What's the matter? And she's when my sister was killed last night. I said, Well, what happened? She said somebody shot to her living room window, and she was killed. You don't read about it in newspaper. Just people don't know about that. Exactly. Yes, indeed. It's the media these days, they only want to show what they really want to show. They don't show the important stuff that goes on like poverty, financial crisis or things that impact a lot of people in this world. Absolutely correct. Yes, you're right, Peter. They don't know it's funny, funny because Chris, it's not funny, but I found it interesting. Chris Como mentioned one night on his show on news nation, he, he mentioned that people don't want to talk about class warfare in this country, you know, what's going on between the classes between the wealthy and the poor, or the struggling lower middle class, you get an idea of it. And now with all the strikes that are going on, you get the writers Guild of America on strike. You've got the screen actors Guild that's going on strike. Now you've got the United Auto Workers going on strike, and it's getting bigger, that strikes growing. And if that strike goes all out, it's going to, it's going to play havoc on the economy here. Yeah, absolutely. What do you disagree with most frequently? What do I disagree with most frequently? Probably people that say everything's going to be great. You know, you just have to hang in there. And also, I find myself disagreeing a lot with financial advisors who say, just, you know, keep it where it is, you know, don't sell, just stay steady, keep your bonds, 40 % bonds or 60 % bonds, 40 % stock or 40 % bonds, 60 % stock. I disagree a lot with financial advisors. Not that I'm an expert in finance, but I'm fascinated by it. I read about it. Absolutely. How much time do you spend on the internet? How much time do I spend on the internet? A fair amount, because I do a lot of research on the internet. And while I'm something to do research on something particular, then then you find, wait a minute, I've got to have to research this more. Then you find yourself going to another page, finding more things to read about. And then you realize you're going to be searching even more on the internet. So and to be honest with you, I spend so much time on the internet as it is on zoom calls. I'm tired of looking at the internet. I prefer reading books. So I read a lot of books. But I've got to use the internet a lot to do research. You know, especially I work with a lot of people that I've got to find out what their background is, you know, in the film business, and the financial business. So I do spend an enormous amount of time on the internet. I imagine you, you do yourself, I'm sure. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Hours upon hours. Yeah, it's a it's a necessity. It's a necessity today without a without a cell phone or computer. It'd be very difficult to survive. I do know some folks in their 70s and 80s. They don't use computers, they don't use cell phones. I do know one young guy who doesn't use a cell phone, but that's very unusual. But it's very hard to survive. I couldn't stay in business if I couldn't use a computer and cell phone. Oh, yes. Sure. It's the same for you. Yeah, of course. The internet is such a necessity. It's part of our lives, in a way. Absolutely. Yes. It is. It's built in. And you read about these kids, you know, they get addicted to their cell phones and computers. And there's so many psychologists that predict they're gonna have trouble with their personal relationships in looking at a screen. They don't spend time in person a lot. I don't know how that'll play out, but it makes sense in a lot of ways. What a world filled with clones of you, what would a world populated by clones of you be like, a world populated by I'm sorry, what what would a world populated by clones of you be like? You mean point of view? And a world populated by clones of you? What would it be like? Oh, clones of me? Yes. Okay, what would I think it would probably be a pretty peaceful world. To be honest, I don't think there'd be any wars, I think war would end. I think children would, we'd set up some type of educational system and change some values in the government in the country so that kids don't get abused, that parents are afforded the education and the training, starting in high school. Probably actually, I take that back, starting in grammar school. How to parent, how to treat other human beings, learning about themselves, becoming self intelligent, learning emotional intelligence, understanding their emotions. And growing up to be citizens that are productive and have empathy for other people. And if this happened, we could, I believe we could end this may sound naive, but I do think we could end poverty in this country. But there's no will to do that. There's no will to help kids because children can't vote. And they're not members of political action committee. So I would, I would make sure that their political action committee is available for children. I would allow children at a certain age if they can show that they have some knowledge about the political system, to have a say in voting, to see who represents them. And I believe with education, and with treating people well, with respect and compassion, having people trained for the type of work that they want to do, that poverty could could be eliminated. And so there are a lot of clones to me, there would be no more wars. And there would be a lot less suffering in the world. Yeah, that sounds that sounds like a very good reason. Thank you. Welcome. What's Education is the key. Education is the key and law. The merging of law and education. And again, unfortunately, the people in power, the bureaucrats and politicians don't have the will or the desire to bring about the needed changes. Yeah, it's so sad. What is your favorite quote? Yes. And probably, I guess it's a quote that is on my mind a lot now, because it's a quote I used to open my novel when the sunlight goes dark about the boxing family in Los Angeles, and the quote is, Oh, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, that I am so meek and gentle with these butchers. And it originally that quote is taken from William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar when Mark Anthony is standing over the dead body of Julius Caesar and Caesar has been assassinated. by members of the Senate. And he's bemoaning the fact that he's so meek and gentle with these butchers because he's kind of going along with them at the time. And it's just a quote that just stands out to me because I've used it in my book because I my books about worker exploitation in one way because a lot of these boxers are exploited. And a lot of them end up in not very good shape. Because people aren't looking out for him. So I guess for today, that's my favorite quote. I mean, I have others too. But I guess for today, that's the one that would be my favorite. All right. Very good. And I could you could use that metaphorically, too. I mean, the sense that, you know, Oh, pardon me, you know, why aren't the people that are running the government trying to help the people? Yes, that's a very good question. I'm sure you've run into very similar situations in England. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. All the time. What's improved your wife quality so much? You wish you did it sooner? I'm sorry, Peter, you have to say that one more time. All right. What improved your life quality so much? You wish you did it sooner? well, Oh, I would I would say I spent a lot of time in therapy. I came from a very dysfunctional family. I suffered a lot of abuse, I was put into a private boarding school where kids got regularly beaten very badly. One of the lucky ones, really, I never suffered any permanent physical injury. But I think if I hadn't gone into therapy, and I was in therapy for decades, I'd say that probably the key to my being a functioning productive adult today, that in a book I read, called compassion and self hate, written by Theodore Isaac Rubin, that book changed my life. I never thought a book could change my life, but that one did. Yeah, of course. That and of course, if you're going to be successful, you have to you have to work hard, you have to know where to put your effort, you have to work hard and you have to think smart. I mean, that old saying about if you work hard, everything will fall into place is not necessarily true. I've known, I've had guy friends that have worked hard all their lives, and they've got nothing. Yeah, absolutely. So you got to work smart, as well as hard. Yes. But the more success you realize, it just adds to your happiness and your fulfillment. Yeah, of course. But people need the basic necessities have to be taken care of. You got to have clothes, you got to have proper shelter, you got to have decent physical health. I don't think I've ever met anyone that's happy if they haven't had good physical health. Yeah, of course. How did you spend your last birthday? Well, my last birthday, I had dinner with my business partner and my best friend, Tara Walker. We went to a really nice restaurant down on the beach, had a great dinner. And then went home and watched a really great movie. And it was a great day. And you know, I talked to a lot of friends and family too. I got a lot of calls. Okay. That's cool. It was fun. Oh, yes. It was quite a time. Yeah. You like birthdays? Yeah, I like birthdays. It's pretty cool, I guess. It's funny. I was just reading about Jimmy Carter, you know, the former President of the United States who is a president. And he's going to be turning 99 here in a couple days. And someone called him up, one of his family members said, I wanted to wish you a happy birthday. And he said, that's, that's not real good. I'm not really excited about this birthday. I didn't know you even make this far in his life. Yeah, he's going to be 99 years old. And you know, he's been in hospice for seven months. Everyone thought he was going to pass in about two or three weeks and he's still going. Madness. Amazing man. Absolutely. We could use a young Jimmy Carter today. That's for sure. Uh huh. Yeah. That'll be something. It would be. Yeah. Yeah. What's the best way to start the morning? The best way to start the morning is to eat a good breakfast. I know so many people that don't eat breakfast. They have health problems, they're overweight. And I don't mean starting breakfast, you know, eating junk food. You gotta eat something healthy for you. Eat something healthy. Write down the things you need to do today if you have to make a list. Yeah, it helps me a lot before I go to bed to write it to do this. So when I wake up in the morning, I know exactly what I got to do. And I got to feel the body first. You got to take care of the body. I have a friend of mine who's, he had a stroke and he's in the hospital now. He can't barely move. And, you know, he, he didn't have the right diet and he's still a fairly young man. It's very tragic. So feel the body and feed it well. Yeah, absolutely. I'm sure you know, because I could tell you put a lot of hours on your show. Oh yeah. It's, it's quite a process, but it's definitely worth it. Yeah, it's enjoyable. Yeah, sure is. If you could travel back in time, what would decade you want to live in? There's so many decades I would love to live in. There's so many centuries I'd love to live in. It's really hard to pick one, but if I had to pick one, I'd probably say the early 1960s. Sixties? That's pretty cool. Yeah, that's when Muhammad Ali came on the scene and that's when the Beatles came on the scene. To me, that's, I think we'll never see the likes of the Beatles or Muhammad Ali again. Yeah. So one of a kind, they always say. Yeah, but I, believe me, Peter, I'd love to live, I could go back to ancient Rome and be fascinated. Of course, your life expectancy wasn't very long. Oh yeah. Cause Sanitary wasn't up there and the advancement technologies got in the way. Yeah. Everything's like, ugh. I would love to live the life of a Plains Indian in 1840. I think that would be fascinating. It's freedom that people can barely conceive of today. And what a great, got the kids, Indian children back in those days, man, talk about having a great childhood. Yeah, absolutely. And that is all we have for this episode. It was great having you on Oliver talking about your works. You're welcome. And until next time, stay tuned for more.

hour podcast some of us have to work tomorrow all right here we go let's jump right into 1967 musical events in 1967 and the year kicks off right away with a bomb a bomb on January 4th the doors release can arguably one of the greatest debut records ever arguably if you had a top 25 greatest debut that albums would have to be in the top 10 it would have to be yeah you know if you had a top 50 that would have to be in the top 10 right even if you don't like them you have to say that was so ahead of its time oh it's so different nothing out there was like the needle and all you hear it kicks I mean fucking what a way to start an album it's a heavy song it with a bossa nova beat yeah I mean that's pretty clever yeah 67 so you know bossa nova was pretty hip again John Densmore over underrated underrated underappreciated I think you are you are so correct you know never gets the the the consideration that I I don't know you can't put him in greatest of all time but could he be okay if there's a top there's a top 25 drummer top 25 drummers is he in it good question and in rock we'll just say in rock I think he could be I could see him making so I don't know if he's a universal pick but I could see him on some list I mean he's something you'd have to think about like you said like it doesn't get noticed so much you know yeah yeah or it I mean although his drumming wasn't shy I mean he's jazzy as hell I heard um writers on the storm yesterday and his adjustment playing is great in his adjustments during the shows just for that yeah yeah the unpredictability of you know how the how the song was gonna go right because they could rehearse it all they want once Morrison got into that zone well in the drama keeps the beat right yeah yeah the drummer has to stay up with that yeah and played to the clown so to speak right you know and my my problem is if some of the clowns don't have the beat you know at one point they've got to give in like I said Morrison or even Dylan they'll set the tone but they've got to be steady themselves you know it's yeah otherwise it's just erratic but you know yeah guy like Dan's more I mean I had skill I had a lot of a lot of technical ability right feel yes cool so obviously his drums always sounded good yeah on the earlier on the other records even you know three years worth of music whatever I guess I would be who produced some Jack Holtzman was the producer did a good job Jekyll or now wait so no what was it Paul Rothchild yes yes yes I'm sorry Holtzman was he on the record company yeah yeah was that it was that chrysalis or chrysalis I think or just like yes that's a lecture a lecture weren't they on chrysalis though also I thought they were yeah maybe maybe chrysalis was a subsidiary but uh yeah Jack Holtzman's son is Adam Holtzman he's a keyboardist right now he plays with here we go Stephen Wilson but he does a little blog on Facebook and he talks about growing up and he was like six years old and his father brought him to a club to see the tour Wow at six years old he just talks about like yeah it's a great little blog Wow all right and four days later on January 8th Elvis Presley turned 32 on January 14th the human be in right the human be e -i -n human being takes place in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park polo fields with spoken words from Timothy Leary Allen Ginsberg Gary Snyder in others live music was provided by Jefferson Airplane the Grateful Dead Big Brother in the holding company and Quicksilver Messenger Service speeches from Jerry Rubin and others were also given at the event although it's one band there I liked yeah Quicksilver Messenger Service who was it on January 15th 1967 who is your favorite poet of all them I know you're not asking me Arthur Rimbaud who influenced Jim Morrison good answer good answer way to bring that first opening segment rough full circle we're getting better Scott we're good now you guys get a lot of good trust me I'm getting a lot of good feedback so let's keep it at that I don't want you son ask for more money and on January 15th 1967 the Rolling Stones appear on the Ed Sullivan show at Ed Sullivan's request finish it he

headphones on January 16th 1967 the monkeys begin work on headquarters the first album to give them complete artistic and technical control over their material and it was fucking horrible fucking horrible what were they thinking they know they were thinking the egos got too big they thought they were the music well the argument can be made that you know Mike Nesmith did write different drum yeah so he could write songs but I don't think he was a pop songwriter you know headquarters and they try to be all fucking like 60 ish and shit they weren't looking for pop were they they're trying to be like more psychedelic yeah I think so there were their channel on the Beatles with those quirky little yeah with anti -grizzelles on that I don't know some weird shit I'll tell you what though I don't care about it myself but it was surely a harpsichord on it because that's what all those records had they had to have a harpsichord and I have the book this the 100 best -selling records of the 60s the monkeys got a they've had quite a few albums on there oh they do yeah they were they were but I mean I thought it was just a condensed period of the show which it probably was but it's still I

great like dumbed down brilliantly done though humor yeah way was what they were supposed to act like that yeah you know what I mean there was no like these guys are bad actors they knew exactly how

From Ohio to Country: How Frank Meyers Found His Southern Roots
"Us a little bit about yourself, though, growing up, Ohio, native. Talk a little bit about that, and then how you got into really country music, because you know, if you look at it, it's a lot of the old song from crystal news shows up. Didn't realize you had northern Ohio plays. Didn't think he's going to be a country guy. How do you get how did you get country out of Ohio? Well, you know, my family is from Kentucky, my dad was from Kentucky, my mother is from actually, she was born. And raised over in east Tennessee. And so they met to Dayton Ohio during the big boom, the industrial boom back in the day, and my dad was a champion fiddle player and guitar player and singer and he had a voice like Jim Reeves and my grandmother was a 5 string banjo player in the style of grandpa Jones. And so I grew up in a musical family. I mean, I heard music totally from when I popped out and I left home. So I started playing guitar about 9. My dad was of course a big country fan. Drove Jones, buck Owens, del Reeves, Jim Reeves, Eddie Arnold, you know, all of that. And my sister was a big Motown fan, so I heard a lot growing up. You know, I remember in first grade watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan Show. Oh, there you go. So I grew up in the probably the best musical time you could ever grow up. As far as diversity and the stylists and things that we're in the music business back then, there were everybody was a stylist for the most part and there was no pro tools. There were no computers helping the singers out back then. You had to be able to sing and

"Couldn't agree more. Nanya, what's your thoughts on the gas sliding about inflation? Well, it's, we've been lied to for very long time that I think people don't even, they, so many people lost even, uh, their, uh, uh, sense of, um, judging things for themselves. Like that was, I think their idea of, um, brainwashing people into not being able to think for themselves. That's most of these data that we see that they publish with the, with straight face to people are just lies. It's, uh, as a business owner, I can tell you, I've never worked for anybody in my entire life. I always had my own businesses and, uh, um, I can tell you that we've been, um, power, um, every day. I can see it in my business. I can see it in my friend's business. I can see it in people's everyday lives. And the fact that we're getting fed every day, uh, by a bunch of lies that has nothing to do with the actual data should tell you what you need and who you can trust. These people in the government are not trustable. You can't trust them at all. What they say, what they do. And the fact that people still, some people still think that they care about them or they are there to serve them. I'm like, what are you, what are you looking at because what I'm looking at is just, it's a dire need of a huge change in the system because things are not getting better. Things are getting worse. And, uh, the system is, uh, completely excluding people from the equation. It's like, you're not even a part of anything anymore. Their decisions are getting made somewhere else and you're, uh, being treated like, uh, just a viewer. You're like, people are just the audience for them that, uh, lost their entire power and they're just sitting and watching them ruining and destroying their lives every day. Your dollars keep losing, um, purchasing power every day. You can see it in your everyday life. You don't need Biden, uh, to come up and tell you how bad or good things are. You can feel it. You can see it. You, you have, uh, uh, you know, the power of judging it for yourself. And, um, people are being, are being treated like, um, like a bunch of, um, nobodies and it's very insulting to me. I think, um, I moved here in 2012 and by 2016 I was done. I was like, this is not what I thought the U S is. I moved here from Iran in 2012 and, uh, everything was just a big lie to my face. And if you just stop, take a few steps back and just look at the whole picture, you're just like, Oh my God, this whole thing is a lie. And, uh, and for you to not take a step and just, uh, think what you can think for yourself about what you can do to, uh, change things. It's just, uh, it's, it's just beyond me. I can't, I can't, um, I couldn't not think about things and I couldn't just, uh, go about life watching how things are just declining and how economy is declining, how the culture is declining and how in every possible way, they are insulting people and people's intelligence by just lying and, um, passing all those law, uh, laws and rules and, uh, um, uh, regulations that are basically, uh, destroying people's lives every day instead of, uh, um, helping them improve. So for me, Bitcoin was just a phenomenon that when I discovered that was like, Oh my God. So there is things, it's just, I always say, um, if Bitcoin was a song, it would have been a Beatles song that says, um, come together right now over me, because, um, I think that's the only thing that we have, the only asset that we have, that we could have it all for ourselves as a global community and just help each other grow and help each other, uh, um, have a good, beautiful sense of, um, of, uh, of an abundance that we were given as human beings on earth. But, uh, but because of everything and all these politicians and bad, um, lawmakings and greed that we see every day in the entire system, unfortunately, like spreading like a cancer, um, we haven't been, uh, uh, you know, we haven't been able to see how much power we have. And I think that's what Bitcoin gives back to us, the power of coming together as a community, have a little bit of this, uh, you know, um, um, fantastic, um, abundance making, uh, technology, uh, to, for each of us and just, um, live, uh, free life. Finally. I think I'm, I'm just so happy to be living in this time.

"You do not I don't think you do. Do you use Spotify? Somebody texted me. Is there something going on with this shit? I got a text today. Do you use Spotify? No, I don't. I use Apple Music and they go, oh, at least people that you're going to work with are younger. Am I old? Because I don't know what I know what it is. I don't use it. No. OK, well, this isn't why I brought this up, but I'll just piggyback on that and tell you that when I worked at it, I still work at it. When we had an office, when I saw I had an office and we were in the office. I was like the oldest person there, of course, and all of the young people who worked with me, all my buddies who were younger, Chris Chavez, Dan Rappaport. They would mock me and make fun of me because I don't have Spotify. And I'm like, well, I use Apple Music and I would get mine. You if you don't have Spotify, I guess you're a loser and you're old. But anyway, but I bring it up because I don't have it. But today, every year at this time of year and at launch today, they do the Spotify wrapped or unwrapped. Right. Where they give you like your most listened to artists and your most listened to podcasts. And I always get a little bummed out because everyone who has podcasts, they post it and I get like to where I'm on it. So it's a little sad for me. Oh, OK. So that's what the significant is. Yeah. So like you have a spot. OK. Yeah. If you have a Spotify account, you can go in there today and I'll say these are the five podcasts you listen to the most. So, you know, you go. So then I go on Instagram. Right. And it's like and I go let's say I follow Chris Long. It'll be like, oh, Chris Long posts. And it's some guys like, oh, you know, green light was my mother. If you follow Travis Kelsey, they'll be like, oh, new heights. You know, and then for me, it's like two people and people give a shit about this. And by the way, not only that wall. I know that. Yes, it's a little different story. But I also don't need to have Spotify tell me what my top five podcasts are. I know what I'm listening to. Well, I know what I'd be able to tell you the podcast that I listen to. Oh, wow. I didn't realize that I was going to ask me to get podcasts with Jimmy Trana every day. Like I know what I'm listening to. I know what's going to be on it. Well, it's more of a thing like then you share it with other people, because that's what we do in this day and age. You got to share everything. Well, I'm saying I get FOMO because I don't get a ton of like people saying like, oh, you know, stop. You know, Apple Apple Music does it. They have a year in review for Apple Music. I didn't know that. I looked at it this morning. If I told you what my most listened to song was in twenty, twenty three, you wouldn't even believe it. What? It's not even like it's ridiculous. Well, I couldn't believe that that was my most listened to song. What is it? OK, so my favorite Beatles song is Let It Be. Yeah. OK, so Let It Be was my most listened to song of twenty, twenty three, but not the Beatles. There's a live version that Paul McCartney did with Billy Joel at the last play at Shea that I was at and saw live. And that version was the song I listened to the most in twenty, twenty three. Interesting. I got to listen to that. They have that on Apple Music. I believe so. Yeah. Yeah. Are you still Apple Music or Spotify now? No, I'm Apple Music. I don't have a Spotify account. Me neither. It's all a rip off, though. Like they charge like fifteen bucks to listen to music each month. It's crazy. I'll tell you another thing to tie it into the house hunting. Budget is coming. And a lot of this shit is going to get cut because Apple Music family, iCloud, Netflix, Peacock, HBO. Dude, it's just it's too much. It's what's getting it's too much. I got to go over it. But a lot of shit I restored to my wife's budget. I go, yeah, budget. Like I think Max might be getting cut. Netflix, Netflix is like Netflix has to stay. But but Max is tied in with your cable. Yeah, but like all that shit's got to get trimmed down. It's just there's too much going on. And I know it seems like and then I tell my wife this and she starts telling me about, hey, I got a notice from the car or whatever that we have to re-up the automatic start. Should I do it? I go, what is it? She said eight dollars a month. I go, no, you guess what? You could do it old school, throw a jacket on, go outside, start the car before you put the baby in there. That's three ninety nine. We're on a budget. You understand what a budget is? Like at least with Netflix, you're getting something you can't pay for with the car remote start. Just go do it yourself.

Pat Boone Has Always Been a Beacon of Wholesomeness
"Fascinating that at that young age, you were presented as this image of a wholesomeness and already in the 50s. Look, this is just the way of the world. The dark side is always attractive. And people don't understand what they're getting into. You know, you kind of think like, wow, Elvis Presley, the idea that he died of a drug overdose bloated Iraq at age 42. It breaks your heart. How many of those people they trod that path? And they died so young whether they were talking to Jimi Hendrix or anybody, any name, you know, Jim Morrison. I mean, on and on and on and on and you represent it obviously something very, very different. And The Rolling Stones and even The Beatles, if they were experimenting with drugs, they were very wealthy, and they could go to Switzerland and then have their blood transfused. Yes, Keith Richards famously had to get a blood transfusion because he was so loaded up with drugs. He's like, not a problem. I'll just go to some clinic in Switzerland, and we'll take care of that. Yeah, but kids were dying by the thousands following examples with the drugs that they couldn't afford to have their blood transfused. And people weren't even making well, there was a connection, but I mean, you know, you couldn't blame them for just sinking in their songs and living their lives the way they wanted to. But the fallout from it was too bad. It was very unfortunate. And of course, here I was had four daughters living in Beverly Hills and going to church regularly and riding bestselling books of Christian principles. And yet having rock and roll records at the same time. And so I was okay.

Pat Boone Has Met Everyone, From Elvis to the Queen
"I'm talking to pat Boone. Yes, the patent. I could get any guy named pat Boone, but no, we took the trouble to track down the real pat Boone. Who has boy pat? You've met anyone I can think of. You have stories with The Beatles. You did business with The Beatles in the 60s. I did business with The Beatles. You met the queen twice. Yes, yes, twice, and the second time was very embarrassing. I think I did I tell you about this. You did and how many times did you walk on the moon? Be honest. Well, only once in my dreams. And it was scary, so I didn't it was a nightmare. You sung about the moon. You've met many astronauts. I mean, look, you've just met about everybody. I mean, everybody that was on the dais at the Dean Martin rose, the greatest program of all time. You've met most of those people. Yeah, and they've all made jokes about me too, and not on the roast. But just in their shows. And then they're well, because you became. You became that guy, you know, that we wanted to make fun of something wholesome we'd make fun of pat Boone. And what's the line where Dean Martin or somebody says that I shook papon's hand in my whole my whole right side sobered up? Big laugh because the audiences knew what he was talking about. Eric from the very beginning of my career where Elvis was, you know, my opening act and we've talked about that because I already had 3 million selling hits before we met and he only had one record and it was a sock hop in Cleveland. He was a punk. He was a punk, you took him out of the gutter. Is that what you're saying? No. But it was all like that. But he was considered the rebel.

Volkswagen recalls Beetles to replace Takata air bags
"There's a recall on Volkswagen beetles. Because of airbag inflators. Volkswagen is announcing the recall of some 42,000 beetles in the U.S. and Canada, which have potentially dangerous takata airbags. The model years affected our 2015 and 2016. The inflators can explode and hurl shrapnel inside a vehicle because chemicals use can deteriorate over time. Dealers will be replacing the driver's airbag in The Beatles with letters going out to owners in February. At least 33 people have died worldwide because of exploding takata airbags. I'm Jackie

"I was sort of analyzing watching them, but they were basically they were okay. It became much, much more enjoyable for them when they went to several row, which was like 12, I think there's a few states that will row. Yeah, and all the way through me watching it, Jonathan. And then eventually I had to go back to New Zealand so Apple kindly bundled all up on some sort of disks for me so I could quietly watch it watch the remainder of it when I got back home and they keep saying to me, but what's the film about? What's the film about? Which is a perfectly reasonable comment. And I just said, well, let me see it. Let me see it. And then when I watched it all the way through, Jameis Olsen, who I've edited with for years, I really want to see it. And I was also happy to see it again. So then I sat down and watched it all through again. And it just became obvious to us that the story is just the story as they experienced it. They set out to do something on the 2nd of January 19 69. They ended up on the rooftop at several row on the 30th of January and what happens in between just day by day, just tell the story as they experience it. So immediately gave us the concept that we're not going to have any modern modern day interviews. We're not going to have anybody talking from today who is remembering back to that time. Because one you say that the memories are not that great and after 50 years who can blame anybody, but also we didn't want I was so determined and having spent 40 years as a beatle fan reading a lot of crap about this period in very prestigious people books. I was so determined not to feed that fire anymore. And I just wanted to tell the story as it was. And so to tell it as it was, one of the only people talking to be The Beatles in January 69.

"The most famous living New Zealander, he is a writer director and producer whose films many made in collaboration with his life partner Fran Walsh include 1990 fours heavenly creatures, the landmark Lord of the Rings trilogy spanning 2001 through 2003, the 2005 remake of King Kong, The Hobbit trilogy spending 2012 through 2014, the feature length 2018 documentary they shall not grow old. And most recently, the 2022 Disney+ documentary series, The Beatles get back, which draws upon 57 hours of footage and 140 hours of audio, most of it never before seen or heard, to chronicle the 22 days leading up to the fab four's final public performance in January of 1969. He's a nominee for 9 Oscars, three of which resulted in wins, and the winner of four Bafta Awards, a critics choice award, a Golden Globe Award, a director's Guild Award, to producers Guild Awards, and an Emmy for 2008s Eric Clapton crossroads guitar festival, Chicago. He is now nominated for another Emmy, best directing for a documentary or nonfiction program for The Beatles, get back, which itself is nominated for best documentary or nonfiction series. Sir, Peter Jackson. Over the course of our conversation, the 60 year old and I discussed how a kid from Wellington fell in love with the movies and began making films of his own, many, from the earliest days with a focus on visual effects, how a filmmaker who broke into the business making splatter horror films and whose only studio film before The Lord of the Rings had been a box office flop, came to be entrusted with that project's not one, but three very expensive films. Why he has in recent years, somewhat lost his desire to make narrative films and has instead gravitated toward documentaries, which require him to pour over and restore archival footage that most people have never seen before, what he makes of the current state of the film industry, and of Amazon's upcoming nearly half $1 billion TV version of The Lord of the Rings, plus much more. And so without further ado, let's go to that conversation.

Mass Appeal (MM #3955)
"The NASA minute. With Kevin mason over the last few years, I've been following along with the discussion that says there is no such thing as mass appeal anymore, especially when it comes to music, television, movies, things like that. It's not possible to have mass appeal, because nothing reaches the masses anymore. No TV show will ever reach the ratings heights of the last episode of mash. No band will ever be as big as The Beatles. I'm sure you could argue all in the 1980s, Michael Jackson, but you have to look at the different course of time. When The Beatles came to America, it changed the world literally. And when you look at television and movies and music and entertainment and the world we live in, we have so many options these days. We have so many things that we can be focused on, even people in your own house don't necessarily have the same interests you anymore. That's not a bad thing. It's just the way the world has changed. Is it gone forever is the big question, and that's where the debate continues. Some say yes, some say no, I'll be honest with you. I don't see where it comes back.

Is it gone forever is the big question, and that's where the debate continues. Some say yes, some say no, I'll be honest with you. I don't see where it comes back.
The Mason Minute
Mass Appeal (MM #3955)
"The NASA minute. With Kevin mason over the last few years, I've been following along with the discussion that says there is no such thing as mass appeal anymore, especially when it comes to music, television, movies, things like that. It's not possible to have mass appeal, because nothing reaches the masses anymore. No TV show will ever reach the ratings heights of the last episode of mash. No band will ever be as big as The Beatles. I'm sure you could argue all in the 1980s, Michael Jackson, but you have to look at the different course of time. When The Beatles came to America, it changed the world literally. And when you look at television and movies and music and entertainment and the world we live in, we have so many options these days. We have so many things that we can be focused on, even people in your own house don't necessarily have the same interests you anymore. That's not a bad thing. It's just the way the world has changed.

Yeah, and they do a couple takes of a few songs. And the crowd starts to gather pretty steadily. They knew that The Beatles were playing there or were practicing there. They knew that that was The Beatles studio because they had obviously fans kind of like lingering outside looking in. And they had a hidden camera in the lobby, so they fully expected to get police presence. I love that. The Bobby's. I love the run around they were giving them like trying to distract your parents like the hall monitor. I was like, oh yeah, we don't have the key. We can't do that. What can we find the key? Yeah, we got to get him down. Hold on. It's going to be just a few more minutes. And it's like, I was like, oh, well, the FPA is upstairs, but there's also the switch downs. I got to go oh, the doors are locked. Yeah. Oh, you can't go up because it's that capacity on the roof. It's too fall in. It's overweight. Yeah. I loved all of that.

And he said that same line even though he hasn't been at the actual precinct in 15 minutes. It's probably that one old lady calling 30 times. Trying to get her sleep.

"This has been sanctioned. Yeah, by The Hobbit guy. Yes. You know, it's because The Beatles have the tightest stranglehold over their mythology of any group ever. It is like extremely tight. In more than anybody else, it's like, what goes out? Prince has a pretty tight rain on a lot of his stuff. Yes. He does. Yes, RIP. And that's true. It's like, but it's kind of like scaling with Nevada where it's like The Beatles mythology is much bigger. Prince is huge. But with The Beatles, it's like they have the most valuable catalog of music and they have the most valuable mythology. Well, I think from a business standpoint, The Beatles really set the groundwork for a lot of musicians that came after them. Yes. Prior to them, musicians were sort of an afterthought for business wise. Yeah. They were just a commodity to be used by record labels. They were another commodity, yeah. Yeah. And so The Beatles, once they sort of became as big as they were, you saw them build Apple corp, build their mythos, essentially. And then run their business like a business, own themselves. And not let somebody else dictate what was going to happen with The Beatles. And you don't see that with many other artists because they don't get that big. But when they were the first group on that level to write their own music, they were the first musicians to take control of their own catalog. Yeah, it's kind of like Hollywood in that era. In the 1950s, actors, actresses were just playing guards to be thrown around and put in the movies, paid dirt cheap and treated like shit. Yeah. Well, that was the studio system in Hollywood was like you were under contract. If you're under Warner Brothers, you work for Warner Brothers and that was it. And you took the projects you were given. If you were a singer and a singer in that time period, it's like whoever you're producer, your manager, they would look at like lieburn stoler or let the tin pan alley type people. And they would find you songs to record. You know, it's like, oh, this is written by so on its own tons of this. Is your song now? That was Elvis. That was all the big name people. Even people like Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra, it's like they would have people that they would songwriting people that they would reach to and get songs from them. Yeah. The Beatles were the first people who were like, we ride our own songs. That was an early battle. They fought with George Martin when he was trying to do the same thing and find them songs to record. They said, no, we have our own stuff. And we want to do it. They're revolutionary in that way. They were first like you said they broke that ground. And they set the stage of future groups who say we want to do whether it's Led Zeppelin or U2 or whoever. It's like we do our stuff. We don't cover. Yeah, so. And then we still got in sync. Kind of did both. I think they had some songwriters but they also had a lot of farm of people who wrote them songs. Yeah. They still kind of follow in the classic like pop star. Oh, yeah. The boy band me those. Never stop never stopping. We're going to take a quick break and then we'll come back and we're going to talk some more beetles. We'll talk the rooftop. So episode three.

"But he took that and brought it to the he took a genre of music and brought it to the tens of millions. It was like a detonation. He stole fire from the God. And The Beatles took that and gave it a British sensibility. They took his music and refined it. That was one thing I thought was really interesting with them playing this music with, is it Billy Preston? Where I think at one point, Paul was just like, oh, yeah, that Conan riff doesn't come naturally to us. Yeah, we've got a British sensibility. And Billy person's amazing. Oh, he was great. Yeah. He reminds me of Eric Clapton's biography where he signed up playing with the Tulsa musicians, like when he first meets his Tulsa band, and it's like they're like teenagers or whatever and he can't keep up with them. They're so skilled. That's like all these musicians are so incredibly good. And it's like Billy Preston, I mean, it's like on the keyboard. I mean, it's like none of them play the keyboards like him. They keep saying they need a keyboard player. And it's almost like God's listening and gives them like one of the best in the world. This walks in. Like, hey guys, he's just, oh, I'm coming to see what you're doing today. Yeah. And it's like, you can see like there's a whole different steam in their stride. I think it's on two fronts.

"To me, Paul McCartney kind of a dick. He's trying to fill the shoes. I get it. We all love Paul McCartney. But in the room, I'm just like, all right, he's trying to be everybody's mother. He's trying to hurting cats and what's going to be the point. But he's like, he doesn't stop talking. He doesn't give anybody else room and be like, Paul. Shut the fuck up. Every once in a while. He didn't have a no man in there. They seem to be exactly yes, man. And they're Epstein guy was the one person that they said was that he looked up to him and get things done and do all that, but like Paul, I wanted him to shut the fuck up. Well, and they kind of talked about it. They were like, what's Epstein or ones Epstein died? They wanted to manage themselves. And that makes sense though. You can't imagine somebody coming in from the outside that hadn't grown up with them, coming in and trying to manage The Beatles and what to do. Because one you don't know them to, they are powerhouses, economically, and musically, to where anybody else who wasn't there from the beginning is never going to be able to control them. And so it makes sense that they don't have a manager. But at the same time, they definitely need to pay somebody. They needed somebody real bad, because Paul was overpowering and John was just kind of not there in Yoko was. Oh, good lord. I think this is a whole different discussion, which I think will take a quick break and then we'll get back into it. Because I think we're into kind of what I consider the meat of the episode, which is like the conflict with George and The Beatles. Yes. The big drama of that. And so we're going to take a quick break and then we will then we're going to beat the meat and then we're going to discuss which beetle is golden girl. Exactly. Oh, I'm Ringo. Wait, no. Rose's Ringo. Yeah. Yeah. I'm rose. Okay. I think I'm Dorothy. I hate to say it. But at this Dorothy George, I think so. Yeah. Really? The snarkiest? I mean, I don't know, John has some Dorothy too.

"I feel like maybe this album was shortly after their apex or their climax. I think this is when they started going downhill. And just imagine how hard it is to sustainably remain at the top. When you're, you know, music's number one group pop super icons. Imagine how difficult that must be to, you know, figure out a way to maintain that to stay that relevant at the top of the music industry. And it's unfortunate, it's unfortunate when, you know, dynamics just change amongst groups, man. These guys were playing music for a long time before this album. And I'm sure their desires shifted perhaps didn't have the same goals in mind. You know, there's songwriting, songwriting abilities may have changed. It sounds like George Harrison grew to be a much better songwriter and maybe he wanted to gain more control and maybe some of the other guys did not want that to happen. And it's unfortunate to throw someone's partner like yo go into the mix and for it to affect it in a negative way because there's nothing doper than someone finding a partner who is good for them. And although a lot of people bash on Yoko, I've heard different accounts where Yoko was like the best thing that happened to John. I don't know how true that may ring, but yeah, man. You throw all that in the mix along with drugs, the fame, the money having accessibility to everything that you want. But yeah, I'm sure, you know, the most groups will not have a long-lasting career. It's very rare that some do. For example, the locks in rap, you know, they've never had a stint or any issue with each other. It's very rare where a group lasts forever with no friction, no issue, and they can just have a long-lasting career. So, unfortunately, I think The Beatles were susceptible to something that was probably inevitable. You know, you take all the worldly things out of can affect humans period. And then you multiply that times all the money they generated and fame, yeah, it's a fucking it's a stool fucking fuckery dude. It's not easy man. It's interesting. I'm starting to see the white album more as like a necessary part of the end of The Beatles movie. It's like they couldn't have done another sergeant pepper after this. They couldn't have done another revolver for The Beatles to end. They needed to have this experience where their own individuality was on the front line, more so than their collective strengths. And it seems like that trip to India really brought that into the awareness for people because let's keep it real..

"This album was predominantly written on acoustic guitars, but even with the minimalist approach in a lot of the songs on this album, I think the pairing of their songwriting abilities and their composition, even just on a simplistic level is very beautiful. So I brought that from previous Beatles album and I definitely while listening to the white album. Totally agree. I think that when I listen to The Beatles out here, I'm always impressed by how beautiful they can make something that's out of something so simple. And there's definitely in most songs like a positive attitude a positive vibe and I think it's just comes just by how crisp everything sounds totally I agree with where I will let it's like the interwoven songwriting and composition. Being able to I think you just said and I totally agree that you capturing an emotion like a raw motion within the music. To me it's just such a clear, clean, crisp fashion. It's like bam, it's in front of you. It's not like you have to go searching for it. It's there from start to finish. Yeah, that was really evident throughout this album. This was definitely a Beatles album that just seemed like it was it wasn't as poppy. I mean, there's definitely songs in this album that captured that old beetle's essence of that pop energy. But this seemed to take it was definitely more creative. Yet, still Beatles, all the same. So yeah, it was to me all the, to me with all I recognized The Beatles. It was just clearly to me. There was no fooling here. This was a people's album. Oh, yeah. You weren't confused. You're like, might be voice to men, but let's play this out a little bit. Right. Yeah, I think The Beatles have this magical ability to sonically show how the sum is greater than the individual parts. And there are so many moments in The Beatles discography where you just feel like it's not just Ringo here. It's not just Paul. It's not just John collectively they're able to give you this beautiful fusion, this beautiful unity where sometimes you can't really pick apart exactly who's doing what, but you just feel this sensation of wow, they are really expanding here, and it all sounds very cohesive. And I really, really appreciate it. I look for those moments. I remember the very first time I listened to The Beatles, the first time I ever heard was here comes the sun..

Because they wanted to see director author literary advocate and Star Trek actor Levar Burton get the job before his audition week set, some say suspiciously during the Olympics, Burton gushed about his excitement. I've been a fan of jeopardy for all of my life, and when this opportunity came by, I could not pass it up. Social Media raved about his performance. Welcome Mat Donna and Brian. Let's play Jeopardy!

When Richards and Bialik were announced with comments running from Megan McCain's Why couldn't they just give it to Levar Burton? Like literally? Everyone on the planet wanted to geometric sleeps? How did jeopardy goes so out of its way Not to give llevar a job burden has been gracious tweeting.

"This is an abc podcast last week. Matt 'sound engineer nine piled into a car and we drive up to a grand opening house on a hill in sydney's leafy north shore to the family home of bob. Rogers bob rogers is now. And he's only ninety s. He retired mean a few years ago. Bob is the longest running radio presents a in the world. He was on the seven decades. And i think anyone's ever got a big record. When bob started broadcasting john curtain was prime minister and a stroh was still at war. Bob's radio career took him all over australia from hobart to brisbane and then to sydney where his radio show sat at the very top of the writings for years and years he presented australia's first top forty show and found ways to get hold of the latest records out of america by hook or by crook in nine hundred sixty four. Bob was sent to london to follow the beatles as they made their way to australia for their one and only australian tour. He befriended the beatles particularly john and paul and spent weeks hanging out with them. Every day throughout all the madness and hysteria of beatle mania bob has hosted tv shows he's been sect at least three times for swearing on and he kept this news coming back for more for an astonishing seven decades on air. Matinee will welcomed into bob's house by his daughter. Justin and jerry. In bob's been married for seventy one years. We recorded this conversation in bob's study. Let me start at the beginning. Tell me about way you grew up where your earliest youth was spent. I was born and bred on a soldier. Settlement in victoria from a country town called donald and my father and mother were both from england that arrived here in nineteen nine teen and they were given this opportunity to have soldiers settlement three hundred and forty acres. Now i know that most people start talking about their old age talk about how their early days were poverty stricken. I saw some poverty. It was very poor living conditions. Lock bump well. My mother lived the first two years in the tent while my father had to clear the land and fence all place so for two years at least there was no income. We had no car and no windmill. We did not get a windmill which was more important..

"So interested in listening to some of that early stone style pre nineteen four stuff with them. So my question to you is since we're in argumentative debate of space and since we don't have much rolling stones stuff to deal with in this pre pre nineteen sixty four time period. What which which beatles album do you like better. that came out in sixty three with the beatles. Please please me please please me see i'm gonna. I'm gonna disagree. Please please me is probably more memorable has some more memorable songs on there. But i actually think with. The beatles is a better more mature album. Yeah i think in sixty four and then obviously in sixty five. Those albums are like they're maturing so quickly like they're all they're they're leaps and bounds above this to me like this music. Is these people have a sense of melody beyond comprehension. It's like how they write all these songs. How you end up with two people. And then have george harrison later writing to and then even ringo like how you have all these same people in the same band writing. These songs is just insane but that said like the dichotomy between them and the rolling stones right now is. Is it a huge gap between the two because one is sort of riffing out real cool blues covers and one is writing the most sort of like saccharin candy music. And you.
