Summer 2 songs by the Jackson. You know the one. With the one you know everything else about music looking at the text of but already received about the top 7 albums of the seventy s. The demise of the Preservation Society reporting awake triggers a letter to the guardian of the Queen s English society which vows to carry on the fight for correct punctuation is President Dr Bernard lamb sings the apostrophe praises it can distinguish he says between the general. Specific between the possessive and can even change in our. To a verb the apostrophe writes Dr Lamb is essential easy to use and to teach long may it live on with you lumber on this one I think they re not using apostrophes is just plain lazy but there we go not a lot of people don t know how to use them so that s how the whole horrible situation how the reason Spotify has revealed its more streamed stream Diest Is that where artists and share no surprise there then and this fella . Drake I m amazed I just didn t know Charlie right was to the popular young. Boy. Yabbering. I know what you mean. It s not that Drake was not Francis Drake is it gonna say. Got to be Charlie Drake surely to get among 8 from it to the attendees to sellers of the year 70 as we all enjoyed ourselves so much. What the 20 year biggest selling albums of the 60s were yesterday 10 the seventy s when the Beatles didn t dominate and of course the album and techno know whole new meaning really so a lot more Greatest Hits albums because people had more time to make a mess about in the seventy s and sixty s. Fewer classic Hollywood musicals really so which were the highest grossing long clothes in the 1970 s. Well a couple of you are already on the right lines more the couple has. In fairness to this in Penrith here move them over the alley in Penrith. You ve got one Hollywood soundtrack that is on there which is grease Yeah well done. Grease was in there number 9 on the list of best selling albums of the seventy s. Now I think I m going to qualify this is best selling albums of this in the seventy s really because you know it is that Mr Loaf doesn t appear there because although me hella sold many many many many millions of copies he didn t sell that many in the seventy s despite being in the hit parade for ages and yeah. Says what up blew by join image on top of your by Carole King now I d thought top a straight. Well I mean on their under because when I was at college every girl had a copy of tapestry but no news of them on their blue unless surprised are kind of a bit more nature perhaps. Getting a bottle so what about the best album of all time Dark Side Of The Moon Pink Floyd Yeah that s in there. Number 8 and bound on the wrong number of court with the alley in Penrith. Is this somebody else s novel and Emily never to be as you novel in a month as what David Essex. Bundler on in there then number 12 so so far out of the top Well the top 50 albums of all of the seventy s here you ve got numbers 8912 dark side of the moon Greece and the band on the room there wanted to win here that will surprise you wanted to which cool to you guessed yesterday concept album shall we say and a couple of hangovers from the sixty s involve in a couple hours who did awfully well in the sixty s Anyway what you think it trying to situate I mean you know. You know it s nice Tony when the by the way us as it was did it have an effect on the No one and nowhere piece was laid out Slade more of a singles band really want me in. And again a scores that s the thing we re going into in the seventy s that you had bands who didn t just create compilations of singles but a bit like where the Beatles set off with Sergeant Pepper made albums that were albums in their own right. And then 81323 if you tech start to go nuts when list b.b.c. To. Get among it on Facebook what were the best selling albums of the seventy s. B.b.c. Radio Cumbria good unsolder. I was told him back to the musical dates Well there s a couple relate to Frank Zappa s on this day in 1980 the parole board I have prostate cancer but it was on this day in 1901. That. A a sort of it was plain a venue in the middle of Europe which it well call fiat. The casino at Montreaux. Which of course in turn on this day 951 inspired this tune from Deep Purple. If you like your rock n roll Rocky. Good news some news that it was on this day 980 the after the death of the bongo bottom Led Zeppelin never broke up it was on this day in 1900 on the same day that the montra casino but the ground. Is out the stop again. That says it started 2 week run at number one on the u.k. Charts with the 4 symbols album otherwise known as Led Zeppelin for featuring this track. See sometimes on. This. Criminal been released on this day 900 you want Jim amazingly didn t make it to the top 50 bestselling arms of the seventy s Led Zeppelin of course not all those you ve been in touch with your suggestions as to what did make the top 50. And number of you Well Andrew Ross at Lorraine among them said Well Fleetwood Mac s Rumors yet that was in there at 13 released in 1977. Which of course. Inspired an all male the show Graham Parker whose band was called the rumor to release an album called Moxie fleetwood mac can read a release now called rumors we can release one called Max recent. Loss you ve got great. While you think along those lines think of a similar film which might have crept into the top of world top 10 best selling albums. Where he says what about Elvis Now I ll be honest with you I was probably 40 greatest hits is in there at number 10 and I think that s because kids like you re me with probably going to in the mid late seventy s you know all the early stuff just rereleased and there s quite a few of these there are quite a few of these on me like the Carpenters the single 69 and 73 that number 4. Has what about the Eagles you know well I mean for many years this was the biggest selling compilation by anybody only the greatest hits and you want to 75 well to 23 in a 23 a song like proper Digenova And yes what else do you think is in there as there are lots and lots of records any of the best selling albums of the seventy s no even got to be the 1st 5 yet. And I suppose one of the reasons I like the seventy s more than the sixty s broad brushstroke approach here is the music is more varied you came in with rock in the with the glam rock and then you into you know punk and post from going to v.n. You have reggae and all this just in a bit more variety and that s reflected of course in the sales wanted to anything oh my god who bought. Probably my done I don t think it I mean this is one of the real old fellows any of his music you will hear extensively over the next few weeks as we get towards Yuletide. Sold that well hit the Top 40 with 2 albums in the course and some dude who might that be the gate 1323 if you text out it would come to email go on those one last. Or get a minute on Facebook if you will write back up today to go I m going to. Be out around the runway show Mendez. At. It s to. Show man does have a can of you of course you won t even thought of the 970 s. But you re a right good stuff. That might well be in the top sun arms of that decade no where this neither does a car nor Val Doonican am surprised as you are. So power lines Blondie got to be on there surely it is number 15. And also Bridge Over Troubled Water yet that is the top selling album of the 70s in the chance it did the $970.00 s. It probably would have had Stephanie thanks also to Jeff in Cuba you says Tubular Bells is going to be in there yet is number 3 Michael feels he was about everybody had a copy of that in there even those of us who were too frightened to go and see The Exorcist. Mikey modestly said Pink Floyd the Eagles got to be on the fly Darkseid the mains on their ace. Isn t on in there as well yeah wish you were here 34. Feagles mention their greatest hits that s in there but also auto California in at number 28 you do well on this brilliant guess work and no.

So this story is brought to us courtesy of Troy Troy waters He s a farmer run farm and pretty much all my life story here him and further That s for the Colorado it s a small town just outside of Grand Junction and the business runs in the family he farms his father farmed his grandfather for. Armed with a family member he learned the most about farming from is light Lloyd was from my mom s Grandpa and I spent probably as much or more time with him when I was younger growing up than I did my own dad and he was. A hard man let me put it that way on Marie. And a mean streak but he taught me how to shoot taught me how to ski and taught me how to trap the other and he taught me to be taught me how to drown discount can resuscitate him wait what is that even me. He showed me says well for your buddies your fall in the canal drowned I m going to show you how to bring him back to life and he literally we caught a skunk in a trap and drove it over the ditch and he drowned to day thing and then showed me how to pump it just and get a cough and get it back to life why a sponge given that terribly dangerous like why not a I don t know as they some other small. I think that s just what we had to have in the track that day when he thought of it and I think he had when he when he this stuff as a kid or you like rolling your eyes or you like freaking out. One thing you didn t roll your eyes around somebody like him by the head for rolling your eyes. So that was Lloyd mean but caring and practical to a fault if your kid growing up on a farm and you want to find yourself and be hard to find a better mentor that remember he wasn t even really trained grandfather was the great grandfather an old guy and he finally got to the point we re. Going blind he had a minor stroke small moved him in with us and me and Grampus bedrooms were downstairs next to each other and I spent a lot of nights on is reserved bed listen to him he d want to start talking and told stories several times my mom come down to wake me up for school and she d find me I d be laying in her own former grandpa s room or on the foot of the bags that s were and fell asleep not listening to it and it was always live in the thing that I actually found my grandmother scrapbook that she kept of Mike the headless chicken . Now if you don t know about Mike the headless chicken don t worry at this point sure I didn t either all he knew was that in the scrapbook There were pages of clippings correspondence family photos of his grandfather Lloyd with what appeared to be a chicken with no head but in all his late night chats late had never mentioned anything about a headless chicken to try when asked his mom what s the deal. She goes oh yeah that you know something happened right before I was born and really don t like talking about it much. But one of those nights when he was so I want to visit I got the story out of him the story takes place right there in 1905 back then Lloyd was raising friars fryers a chicken that s raised you know for sure. And the day that it was time to slaughter him you know he d reached down and grab one by the legs throw it on the stump whack its head off with an axe and flip it over on the ground let it bleed out and you know he says you know you always had one you cut the head off and they make it back to its feet that s where the expression come from you know run around of chicken if your head cut off was because that they would do that. Try says that a good run for a chicken with its head cut off is for maybe 5 minutes max then dies. But when he got done a couple hours later this one last chicken was still standing there without a head. And a chicken it looked like it wasn t leaving for the past 2 hours it had just been walking around like normal headless so good what the heck to see Philip tell morning d he put it in an old wooden apple box set it on the back porch and in the next morning it got up and the thing was still alive he was amazed that you know that s been a life for almost a day now this shouldn t be happening so switched up the team horses loaded up with all the dead chickens to take him in this town he took this one with him and the awful blocks and stirred that guy s a beard that he had a live chicken fried ahead and of course they expected it to. Be dead at any time. It wasn t until day 3 that people should realize and. How Bizarre really was I m sick you sick what you know what was it was that 2nd his it was like to look at if he looked normal Grampa said he acted normal. When he cut it off basically I think he dang near missed it he cut it high so when he cut the head off he left the base of the brain stem and actually one ear drum so where it still could hear it still get startled you know if a loud noise your son is still tried walking around it still try to prune itself with the stump of its head. You know it was it was a rooster you know one male chicken so it would still grab a set it still try to crow and you d make a gurgling sound how did it how how did how did Lloyd that they fed it right down it s go it with your year old fashion glass eyedropper and that would have been the chickens life preening gurgling ingesting were it not for what happened next. About 2 weeks later that s when it caught the attention of a gentleman in the business of promoting sideshows whose name was hope Wade and Sideshow promoter had a proposition for Lloyd he told us you know we could travel around the country with this thing and you could make a little money off of it and that was right at the end of the Great Depression and grandpa was still pretty much Foreman with horse and mule so he took up weight up on his offer and it was a good thing in debt because it turned out that hope Wade was in there s no other term for it he was a marketing genius because he didn t just throw this chicken into the sideshow circuit right away it s more like he rolled him out phase one was to get this chicken some credentials to make it more than just an urban legend so he took it to university a bilat in Salt Lake. And the scientists are shorter Clee removed the heads of several chickens to try to duplicate the chickens condition and never got any of them to live for any length of time now that the chicken was a bonafide scientific phenomenon that allowed Wade to initiate face to the press he got Life magazine to calm and take pictures oh places will we need to head Well Lloyd never thought of law keeping the head so the head that s in all the photographs was not history not as true he had it was donated by another chicken and if you look at the Life magazine photo as you can see why Wade was on something here there s the body and right there on the ground next to it there is its head staring at you. Kind of for longing hope Wades also want to come up with the name Miracle Mike the headless chicken does he have any name for that. No with the Phase 3 completed way declared that miracle Mike was ready for the big time our I guess a small time because you know it s a side show. They had a minute chant and they would have callers is what they call them Stanton out front said they usually take turns either ham or hope Wade to try to convince people to pay their $2.00 bits to come inside and actually Sheen is only problem was when people would come in most of time you dish it there in the straw like it was asleep because Mike s world it was always night. And they d have to prod it and get it walking around and try to make it active to prove that it wasn t it. Some people were amazed some people were horrified but you know part of what made miracle Mike work was grappled with there because he was a man that swung the axe. A man and his chicken proved an irresistible combination Mike was ahead. In Salt Lake in Phoenix on the boardwalk in Long Beach at some point there was a whole tour of the south and at his peak microgram Macon several $1000.00 a week a year past a year and a half in Mike s same spread far and wide. There s letters that are only addressed to the owners of Mike the headless chicken 200 miles west of Denver and then letters found their way to my grandparents Some were good most of the letters. Were hate mail there s one letter that actually compares my grandparents to the Nazis for their courage to you of let Mike live. You know I m not and I did ask grandpa about that I said watch that and he goes he has a hell he has you know all that chicken had the best life of any chicken he says it was nurtured in his words got to see the more the country than the other chicken ever got to see even though it didn t have a head to deflate or wait to be there than ever. Develop the means for Mike I m sure they did I mean how could you not. It had to been taken care of like like you take care of a of an infant baby. You know so I m sure you did you develop feelings for it. Digraph never met that to me no. Doubt When the kind of man he was in during this time was there any sign I was flagging No he was doing good but one day Grampa came back home from the sideshow and he didn t have my quit them so everyone asked him what happened and he d always claimed that he d sold it just told everybody that he got tired of traveling all around the country and it was fun for a little bit but he was already come back to the farm. Somewhere around 2 years after one of the local newspapers asked Grandpa I feed heard from Michael if my crystal doing good new goes oh yeah he s still doing good and still travelling around the world but he never did say how much he sold it for and everybody thought that my grandfather had made millions and it wasn t until one day sometime in the 80s a lady from the local newspaper called up and she asked him who he sold it to. And he says I didn t sell it it died. And I remember my mother was in the kitchen Pekin her head around were all wild eyed looking at me and I looked back at her because that was the 1st she d ever heard of it and you know that intrigued me well what happened grandpa and he finally broke down and he actually had got to tyrannize I and he says well I let it I let it die it s my fault what happened when they had it in Phoenix a sideshow they brought it back to the motel room with them and that night it started to choke and then they you know war came up and they went to get Bob syringe Clarice throat and they had forgot it at the side show and before they could find anything to clerks throat it choked to death on him. And what what did what did he give you well with my. Body I would assume that it ended up flipped out in the desert somewhere between here and Phoenix in the I think it he always felt that you know it was his fault he s one that left the ball sure inched sideshow and he looked the goose that was laying the golden egg die on me and as for the money like Dead Man it s to make before Mike die a great Grampa s exact words to me is that the government took most of it in taxes hope oid took his cut and he made enough money that he modernized his farm and he bought him a brand new pickup which I still own today but that was pretty much it after that there was no money left Lloyd went back to farming by all accounts he was never able to replicate his former success. But no one Lloyd the way I knew him growing up I m sure that every time he swung an axe again I m sure that was in the back his mind. No I have not had the thought crossed my mind yeah. Just as a laughing thought. But. No I I think if I did one today and have to let it live I think I d finish the job. There s. Still working on his family farm in Florida Colorado and for more information about Mike and his legacy is our websites not judgment. Score for that piece by winds of the.

Welcome back to Step judgment the gratitude special you are in for. A seat for you right from that with full house. Staff Dutch law. We re going to start off. We ll start off with the guy I ve been chasing for 3 years you look like it but he slippery and while you re quick. Please put your hands together for Mr Mike McKee d. A haiku to start I am Mike McGee. I love women and free food. Running makes me sad be Ruby. Now I have the luxury of not enjoying running. But I was born with spina bifida and those of you don t know what that is it is a neural tube defects a birth defect that you know it s a spinal b. Formation and most people with it can t run. Usually in wheelchairs they need help with mobility I don t I can you know karate chop I can t kick very hard. Now because it s part of it but I do have a certain amount of nerve damage basically between my nipples and my knees and that nerve damage affects my bladder doesn t work at all I have no bladder control whatsoever not a drop of. I would diapers have worn diapers my whole life 37 years of diaper changing I m pretty good at it. Now I m pretty comfortable now with wanting diapers but I wasn t as a kid as a kid it was tough because kids could hear them whenever I d walk to school they d hear my diapers and they d find out about and I was Catholic so I couldn t lie about it you know. So I would explain to them what s funny bifida was and they just weren t having it and they thought I was a freak and they would tease me 2. Really original We moved to La. And everyone came up with diaper boy. Times were tough for me not too tough with my family you know I m been chubby my whole life. My mouth has been high 5 in food since 1085. But being teased so mercilessly through school made it really tough and one day I came home crying one time one time only I came home crying and my mom grabbed me and she said Michael. If you re going to survive this life you ve got to make them laugh with not at. She was right right then and there she give me permission to be collaring. But I was pretty mad that. I got into a grave and I was just as mean as ruthless as everyone else I voided public swimming pools locker rooms the idea of being seen in my diaper was like for him it was impossible and unacceptable couldn t do it. But the meanest people in school were these rich kids in 8th grade at Hoover Middle School in San Jose sit on this grassy knoll near the cafeteria and they would just Listo insults upon everyone especially the poor kids I was considered a poor kid so I thought why me to keep if I m going to take down these kids I m going to need it seemed to help me out so I rounded up all the funniest kids in school and we sat at the bench between the cafeteria and the grassy knoll and we aimed all of our insults at the rich get everyone talking come out here they get hit so a little bit by shooting it up. But it was working and it made the rich people hate me even more and I was fine with that these John Hughes bastards. And we would mess with everything about them as much as good the gel in their hair and their New Kids On The Block conversation. 989. So. All of a sudden the spring of 9090 can t see became the thing. Panting. And my crew we were the clowning crew. All got pants and we were trying to figure out how was it that everyone that I liked was getting pants. And it turns out that the rich kids love the idea of Pennsy but there is no way they were ever going to touch the clothing that was bought a K.-Mart so that a hired gun and his name was Corey Corey was the fastest kid at Hoover middle school. And the reason he was the fastest kid is because he was the skinniest kid the reason he was the skinniest kid is because he was easily the poorest kid at school he got free lunch like us the cafeteria we could understand how the rich kids lured him and he had principles no one day we figured out the rich kids lured him onto the grassy knoll and made him pants people by raiding their cupboards and pantries at home food they knew no one would miss and they d fill his backpack with groceries to take home to his family. Was the only way to get him to do it. And he did with efficiency he was weak. He could pants anyone by the time you knew your pants were around your ankles he was gone and he probably had your wallet too. He was so good and there s no way I could outrun him and that occurred to me one day I was like I m going to be a target there is no way the rich kids aren t going to make sure that I get pants my clowning nervous so for days we tried figuring out a way to avoid me getting pants because if I get seen in a diaper it would be the end of my life. From here on out I d still be alive but you just don t. So we tried figuring this out and there was just no way around it because my wardrobe consisted literally of 3 t. Shirts and 4 pairs of sweat pants sweat pants. Lost made of the finest dryer lint and hope. Pants made for can t sing. I was so scared it was going to happen there is no way around it I could not run Corey he a tiny very hungry cheetah. Waiting for a buffet and me a fat lazy zebra really just ready to be a buffet. The day came I woke up one warm June morning knowing it was going to happen I went to school. Nothing was going on. I got my free lunch I stood outside the cafeteria and I kept my eye on Corrie the whole school kept their eye on us the new thumb down my clowning through was nervous they knew it was going to happen that day. I stood there. Thinking if I can see we re poor it is I m safe there s no way it s going to happen and if it s not going to happen then that means I ve won maybe I ve already won and by the time that I thought he might brain I felt too bony handfuls. Of sweat pants being tugged down by Corry behind me the ninja pants or. I looked down to see the elastic of my sweat pants around my ankles I had been pants. Who are you and the rest of the lunch crowd looked up expecting to see me in a diaper but instead what they saw was a 2nd pair of sweatpants.

Welcome back to snap judgment gratitude. Most in Washington today talking with the stories and the things that we are grateful for and for me. I am so thankful for Snap nation for all the love and support you listeners have shown this crazy ridiculous that you snap judgment. Thank you. Want to hear what you re grateful for so we sent snap judgment digital producer Melissa gods on the streets of Oakland. I am grateful for my grandchildren I have one that s going to be 2 in about a week and I have a brand new inside months and I m grateful for them for my family my friends and my hopeful I m always grateful for my hello mom be able to have a job and a roof over my head a thing else extra I m grateful to be. Saying how free. And out of prison are for. This season what am I grateful for. If it s directly in regard to this whole Thanksgiving thing because I m Native American actually boycott the entire holiday. But I m really grateful that for you know the holiday season I get to go to center a ceremony and I let my sister said that s the 1st time we ve been able to do that and I m really excited and super grateful to spend time with their especially at ceremony. That my mom. Survived that cancer from Secretary family. Grateful for air a lot of things away just being healthy and my family to be alive. Really bad things happen and you. Particularly would say I m my friend. In the 6 months. For dinner. Things have been. Least Jones. My friend Ben has known he was gay since about the 7th grade and he says although he came out to almost everyone in his life early on he put off telling his parents for a long time. So growing up there are always times that my mom would ask me so when he going to get married I mean I would never know when it was coming but it would come up all the time just when he and I get married when he s going to have kids do you have a girlfriend yet and I would just try to change the subject you know saying I only want to talk about it this is actually from an interview I conducted with Ben 9 years ago so you have to remember that back then there was no gay marriage that still seem like a long way off and then he just didn t want to break his mom s heart he planned to tell his parents in college but then his mom s health took a bad turn she developed a brain aneurism went blind for 6 months had heart trouble and needed a pacemaker it just never seemed like the right time you know so and yet another year would go by and another year would go by it was getting to be ridiculous like I was in my thirty s at this point and I just wasn t that kind of person like I think it was a disappointment myself it s like because you just have to do it you just have to get it over with and not have this hanging over your head. Finally one of the years he was on his parents house with his mom in the kitchen and she asked the same question that she always asked. Me you know do know what you don t get married and so finally I was just like you know I m just going to tell. You I said mom I m never gonna get married because I m gay. And she she starts laughing at his you know all. Very fine you re not gay I m like mom I m gay then you know she s just gets it s really perplex luck almost like kind. Pissed at me maybe like and then so we kind of got into this little you know not quite a fire but just more of an argument in the I could just see her disappointment. I definitely felt a big weight off my shoulders on my. Own my life that was a huge check mark that I was able to take time out to my parents and to be completely out. After that although Ben s dad was fairly accepting his mom just didn t really talk about it. That s Ok on his part and now she was processing. I guess it was about a year and a half later my sister. And I. Party and you know about why my mom looks at me. When are you going to get married at 1st I was like oh she s joking I m like come on mom you know I m not going to get married and then she s like why like what do you mean and I m like mom I m gay and you know this then I saw that little look on her face turned to more like confusion like. Oh my God she does not remember she had some short term memory issues but it s like there s just no way that she can t remember this about. Him and it was just that whole feeling a little bit of shame came out again and so is it weird. That I had to go through it again. So after the 2nd time I mean do you feel like now she finally gets it. I think at that point I was just like you know I m going to just have to remind her again and this will become part of her memory now but I think in the back of my head I just could tell by the way she was looking at me the way she was talking about it that she still maybe did not grasp it 100 percent. 6 months passed and it s another new year in his family or at the Buddhist temple where they go every New Year s Day to chant their resolutions and it s a whole group of probably $500.00 people or so chanting over and over and then my mom just sitting there. What are you going to get married. And I was like. You know not right now and she is like you just need to find the right girl I m going to champion and I m like I m going to chant that you understand that night Ben went to his sister his dad and then kind of an emergency family gathering there must be a way they figured to get his mom to remember. So that s why we came up with his game plan for my dad to talk about like my sister told my dad I want you to every night before you go to bed just say. Which we thought was really funny because we didn t know if he would do it or not we were just imagining my mom and my dad laying there in their bed and like saying you know I Junior s. Chest to try to maybe you would go into her subconscious washroom so we had all these plans were like we just need to talk about it more you know like come home when you go visit mommy Dad I m gay. But it turned out the 4th time wasn t the one that would make her finally understand neither was the 5th or the 6th. He got to the point where it was just comical because the same scenario. Time and time again she would ask in the morning maybe and then it wasn t unlikely for a cab and again in the afternoon like mom we just talk about it this morning what are we saying how many times has it happened at this point I don t even know I mean my brother has a 3 year old son we just had the birthday some big chain restaurant and we re sitting there with all these kids and I can just see the look in our I that it s coming because she starts looking at me and looking at the kids so I m trying to talk about everything and anything else marriage and you know we re making you the birthday cake. When are you going to get married. So are you feeling like she can t get it because of her memory problems or because she doesn t want to. Yeah I mean I definitely think there must be this emotional block there is a part of her that just doesn t really want to believe it even though she sees me as a happy person every day a few things in my life I have probably can t be happy unless I m married you know to a woman and I just have this family so the novelty of it has one half definitely was before it was you know it s gone run the gamut of frustration to anger to sadness to just being a whole story that I would tell to now is just I m just tired of talking about it kind of now it s like mom come on you know at this point you have to know it s been 10 times or it s been 15 times that we have this conversation and I know you must know and when I was younger I was almost angry at her for deserving like I was like Where s my real mom like my old mom would give me a hug and say she understood and you know support me with that but now you don t understand. Then told me that because of this sometimes he found it easier to not come out at all to stay in the closet at least for that day sometimes it would be when we re. You know at the hospital when my dad was you know going through chemo from his cancer and she would bring it up you know with all our sincerity and it was I didn t want to hear it because it was like horrible timing it would be like yeah yeah I m going to get married have a baby and head off the question as soon as I can. However this may sound Ben and his mom are really close they have this great connection. I went with them one day to the supermarket they joke around a lot of their shopping. Bendis mom leans on his arm as she walks. Right. Now you say yeah right he s sitting in the car afterwards Ben mentions his sister s pregnancy we both look at his mom and wait we know he was setting her up without missing a beat she turns to him and says she wants him to get married so when the guy. Bends my friend and I ve heard him imitate his mom saying this dozens of times at parties but watching it happen it just seems sad he patiently explains while his mom shakes her head and after a while she starts to cry a little she stares out the window away from him he slaps her on the leg. Well you you to. Me you me. Yeah it s bad so. It is it s my normal. Some not you know everyone has their own normal mom it s not the same but you always told me to be proud of our differences it s not like see I mean you know it s not like I m choose I chose there s no way that anyone would choose if you know that. To choose it to have your parents not want to accept Do you know why would you choose that there s no reason why. All right. Now. Thank you. I ve actually had dreams of my mom before she was sick you know it s not necessarily like we re talking about this subject but I mean in one dream that I ve had I was with a boyfriend and she was driving us somewhere in our old Chevy Malibu. It was great we were just like driving I don t even know what to Kmart or some. Kids in but I just remember being with this guy and I don t look like I wish I did and she was just talking like everything. You know and she would know you know you know my sense and this trouble of having to come out. Numerous and list times. When I 1st interviewed Van I wondered at this was it for him this kind of one act play with his mom a play that would never close. But like I said that was 9 years ago and recently I got a chance to catch up with both of them at her house in Seattle. Right be. Right for You all right. That 2nd guy you here that s Paul he s partner they met right after our 1st interview and this is their weekly family dinner with Ben s mom I m a pickle of course. Ben s father passed away a few years ago and his mom is a lot slower than she used to be but looking at Paul sitting at the table laughing and joking with her it s almost like this is what crumpled her memory block having Paul around all the time as a friendly reminder that her son is gay she gets it and yeah so we ve been together now for 8 years my mom really cares for him as well thinks he s a great guy you know hug and kiss every time she sees him we just did a birthday dinner for. 47. For me all a teaser for if she is. Over the time she would still say you need to find a way in she would still say and I d be like Mom I have Paul the 1st couple years but just recently I d say in the last year or 2 it turned. From married to only. When I finally. I know. The story was produced by Liz Jones in part good friends. Now. This American Life. We are so glad that it finally came out. Not fair for you to know. Of what they are missing. If they missed even a moment I ll be there for them on the Amazing. Cast you are welcome. Pod cast judgment. You are welcome. Absolutely any Christmas shopping.

Unheard l.a. . This is Fresh Air I m David Bianculli editor of the website t.v. Worth Watching sitting in for Terry Gross Robert Evans who had a long and very storied career as both a studio head and producer at Paramount Pictures died last Saturday at age 89 as a studio executive he oversaw the Godfather and Chinatown he also was responsible for generating the film adaptations of Rosemary s Baby Love Story barefoot in the park and the odd couple in 1904 he wrote a memoir The Kid Stays in the picture that later was made into a critically acclaimed documentary Terry Gross spoke to Robert Evans in 1904 the year Evans published his memoir They began by discussing his most famous film project I met Mary a fuser as a favor through. A literary agent friend of mine in George was here. And he needed money to pay off the bookies actually that he had this treatment call Mafia it was 60 pages and so the word Mafia never been used before was found in the Kief of a committee and I was always inches of that kind of a movie so I gave $12000.00 just to write a treatment called Mafia and the treatment called Mafia turned into being the novel The Godfather. In the novel for a very very little money because I put up the money for treatment. Even after he owned and another for next to nothing they still want to make the picture paramount because too many people said Mafia picture never been successful anything about the the organization as it was called before the Mafia had never been one successful film made about the mafia before that. And they wanted me to sell it and they refused to do it we found the reason why there had been no successful Mafia films as they had been made by Jews and out of Titans did it was the secret I thought I must have been because we had made 12 years before the Kirk Douglas who was directed by Marty read written by. Bill Sternberg Starr who threw out a version is all written and directed and produced by Jewish people and is the difference if you lived in a Jewish is alien and I felt that made a difference and that s why we gave Francis Koppel or his deciding to do it and by record he had only made 3 unsuccessful films before that Finian s Rainbow you re a big boy now entering people as you point out you re Jewish So yes I did everything that you know I took a stand that it had to be an Italian Well yes because I was writing to you as if I would have done and I must probably would have made the same way. I wanted to smell the spaghetti dairy. Several directors turn down the Godfather caustic offer Azalea because then Arthur Pam. And I not Italians Yeah. No Titans there hadn t been an Italian director 2nd generation Italian director in Hollywood at the time as a matter of fact. Pre it was easy you know the tide and directors and friends was the only 2nd generation Italian working in films of the time he got the nod that s how he got the gig as he was they were going to tell you what he owed only make it one way if he could tell a story as a. Family Chronicle on capitalism in America that s the way he described it anyway but. We had no choice at the time and again as I want to dispel must be getting in . The spaghetti. Every night. What. Was some of the. Well Ok. He s good he s going to make. Out. Yeah I know. You. Can t talk. Ask it s not. Like you want to tell it nice good you love I love you with all my heart was if I don t see you again soon I m going to die. Come over you can lay something you never know you might have to give it to me guy someday. You son of a little boy you fry some garlic and you throw in some maybe made a patient fried you make sure does a stick you go to show me what your sausage and you mean boss. A little bit. A little bit of sugar. And it s my trip once you ve got the more important things to do with the house falling all poorly when you see him no more. You didn t want to cast out but you know no I don t want to but you know and Francis didn t want to make on so he settled on. Albert You know if he would and Jimmy Carter s a combination because he was going to close the shooting time and Fred s right for he said to me you know you want to look like you when I was one of those like me and is it ever. So but he didn t want to make out at all because Jimmy had just done rain people with a minute or rained on pretty good. You know did James kinds Jewish and you wanted yes did to me I don t know anybody tell me is in it what he does but the point the reason I wanted James Caan is because Al is like 5455 and the guy they wanted to play opposite him as part of the $65.00 it out it was human Jeff. And they re the size range a very big next album he isn t that big in person I mean he s the average size guy $510.00 or so but the fellow that wanted to protest Al it would have looked cosmetically ludicrous So that s the reason why would you say that when you saw a couple of his 1st. You told him he had to make a longer than I had to put it more in and that s exactly exactly the opposite of what I d expect a producer to say film Still I d better cut it. Not only that. It was around 2 hours and 6 minutes it s got me ended up with a bunch of close to 3 hours he had shot everything he shot he had shot that s begetting but he took it out in the edit he was afraid and I understand that. The distributor is the distribution company if it is one pictures of the 2 hours of the a turnover they don t like a 3 hour movie but this film is not a but a slice of life of the era and today and it s not a little because it s a little picture that the canvas is there to to to make it whole you see sometimes the longer film is a shorter plays and the shorter it is a longer plays because you lose the text of use as one single dimensional You know but awfully long at 90 minutes to play a short of 3 hours and really the real chance of the a play long it would have played shorter would have the untouchables you say the ending is really a mess that that there are there are there was no ending That s correct there was no one thing and we had a lot of mayhem What was the and I m like What was the ending like there was no it wasn t written and wasn t and they were going to edit the ending and neither Francis to myself came up with that edit as I said as I talk about the book Manning Peters that it was one of the 2 it is choreographed the mixture of the. Baptism of young Michael and the mass killings that went on and it was very operatic and France s a very operatic director and he loved what he saw what was edited together that way though it was written that way and so many films of emulated that ending it most probably it s among the classic things in film history. Nothing to do with. Either friends or my own talents it was Peterson as extraordinary. And rhythm that made it . And the work you say that when the Godfather was being made really most people did not want Brandow to be cast not most you know nobody wanted him Francis wanted and I understood why I wanted them and the only way we got him into the picture was Francis brilliant enough to do a silent screen test and once he saw the silent screen test you know there s only one person to play the part was Marlon at that point more of his career was very deep in the red he had made a successful film in years and he won of the gig as well he didn t do it for the artistic purposes though he claimed he had loved the book I don t even believe he read it he wanted the part and he got the part and he made history with it and also made his own 2nd history making it hopefully come recently. A reasonable. One the Muslim. Is also moved from I m going to read the track and drugs will be limited control and I m probably going to the protection of the east and there will be peace but I must have to sure it. Is time lose my position become stronger we it into any individual and we are all reasonable man you don t have to give assurances as if we were lawyers. And then just to make a sound with you. My boy Jimmy. Left because of vengeance my son. Was selfish reasons. Why I m just. Disposed to leave this country. Because of this also. Oh my. I have to my do was to bring me back you see me can only just fall still. I m a superstitious man. Some on my cats there s a super falling if you should get shot on the police officer. He. Was jails. All these type of both of likely. In my mind to mind some of the people in this room. And I ll feed you. But that aside. Let me say this way. On the song my grandchildren. Will not be the one to break the peace with me. Producer Robert Evans is my guest the former head of production at Paramount you produce Chinatown Yes a great movie you cast Jack Nicholson as leading man in this why did you on him 1st of all he had never played a straight leading man before Secondly I ve always looked at Jack but I discovered him actually that discovered in the film but for big tie film and I was in Barbra Streisand but you re not a clear day. Jack has a smile before you even with his mouth the rafters shake when he smiles is a 1000000000 dollar smile and playing the part is natural instinct however was to do something that was different as how he in Rome and you know the idea of that blade going into his nose and cutting is notable knows wide open and watching the bad it in a bad lesson in the Scarlets all through the movie was a brilliant conceptual move and it was subliminal he didn t realize it but it was a great character for Jack to play that role well he said that Robert Towne who wrote trying to town is still really angry with you about how the ending kind of town was changed so how how was a change compared to what grabber Tom had originally written well Robert was definite upon it he one of the character the John used in his plane to be killed at the end in Roman one of the fadeaway character to be killed it felt it was more unique that way that evil did win out of the end and that s it didn t make it a quote Hollywood movie Robert thought Romans thought it was demented I was a swing vote in it and I went along with Roland to this day Bob this is a mistake there s one thing he won the Academy Award for it but I suppose that doesn t matter he still thinks it would have been better the other way I mean to this day if you had him on his show he tell you that I think he did I m sure it was that he only became the biggest writer in town and that he s upon but he did time to give it because writers have enjoyed it so that famous line it s Chinatown Jake that set at the end probably wouldn t have been set at the end if the original Yes is what it would have been it would ve been said anyway but it would have a sense. See China was not supposed to be. Crissy Chinatown it was about shut it out of the state of mind. Robert Evans spoke with Terry Gross in 1904 he died last Saturday of natural causes at age 89 coming up I review the lineup of new shows featured in the launch of television s newest streaming service Apple t.v. Plus this is Fresh Air He c.c. Supporters include the California Department of Public Health helping parents understand the severity of the v.p. Illness outbreak more c.d.c. Outbreak information is available at flavors hook kids dot org the California Health Care Foundation presenting trade offs a new podcast that tries to make sense of the costly and complicated health care system available on podcast apps or a trade offs dot org This is Fresh Air I m t.v. Critic David Bianculli today streaming services are fighting a pitched battle for programming viewers and their monthly subscriber fees Netflix is the major leader in this new streaming game of thrones with lots of shows and movies worth watching but Hulu has a Handmaid s Tale and Amazon has the marvelous Mrs maze will Fleabag and other excellent series c.b.s. All access has one great show the good fight but hasn t yet persuaded many people to sign up for one more streaming service and this month there are 2 more with even more to come next year consumers at some point are likely to say enough or looking at their monthly budgets too much. Into this landscape come 2 major entertainment behemoths with new streaming services Disney with Disney Plus which arrive soon and Apple with Apple t.v. Plus launching today let s look at Apple t.v. Plus because now we can. Basically it s a streaming service that costs $5.00 a month and doesn t have any back inventory of programming everything offered is brand new you don t have to watch it on an Apple device but if you bought a new one in mid September or later you get the streaming service for free for a while. Apple wants to make a splash right away and has plenty of money to throw at producers and stars the flagship program for Apple t.v. Plus is the morning show a new drama series starring Jennifer Aniston Steve Carell and Reese Witherspoon as t.v. News stars the budget for this new Apple t.v. Plus show is a reported $240000000.00 for 20 episodes over 2 seasons that s $12000000.00 an episode which makes it I think the most expensive t.v. Series ever made a lot more expensive than even Game of Thrones is the morning show worth it to apple if millions subscribe to the new streaming service and especially if they buy a new Apple device to watch it at a discount Absolutely but to viewers as a piece of entertainment not yet not even close. Reese Witherspoon s ambitious news reporter is more caricature than character the co-anchors played by Jennifer Aniston Steve Carell are poorly written 2 things crackle when they share the same scene but most of the time they re kept apart. Character Mitch watches t.v. At home with his management team while Aniston s character hosts their morning program by herself Good morning. I m bringing you some sad. My co-host and partner. Was fired today. First and foremost I want to offer support to the women. That this happened. And our hearts are with you. I understand how you. Are. And while. I understand. I don t think we need to watch any more of this. Other shows in the initial batch of Apple t.v. Programs more specific audiences for young adults there s Dickenson which presents the famous poet played by Hailee Steinfeld as a thoroughly modern Emily it s set in the past but with an attitude that s pure present hip hop music on the soundtrack erotic fantasy encounters with death and so on. For the whole family there s a nature series called The Elephant queen with. The elephant like one of those old friendly Disney Nature shorts it s very upbeat even when the subject involves big. Dry season coming. After it is to put on weight. When it goes in. Must come. For some 5 fans there s a new series from Ronald d. Moore who so cleverly rebooted Battlestar Galactica in for all mankind He doesn t even bigger a reboot of sorts just as Amazon s the man in the High Castle imagine what life would be like had the allies lost World War 2 for all mankind imagines a world in which the Soviets beat Apollo 11 to the moon by a month becoming the surprise victor in the 1960 s. Space race. There even some convincing though totally fictional Nixon tapes in which we hear the president railing about the surprise Soviet lunar landing it s clever suggesting the series may get even better as it goes on you know all I m writing about even older girls who are going to say that. Right and I am going on about what I m going to be here next right here on my neck. Finally for Game of Thrones fans an obvious lure is a new series called c starring Jason Momoa and Alfre Woodard It s about a jungle kingdom in which everyone is blind until 2 children are born able to see and grow up well like you d expect. The only impressive part of see as I can see are the fight scenes that may be enough for the thrones addicts but not for me. For me there s not one potentially great show in the opening bunch though for all mankind might get there but all is not bleak for Apple t.v. Plus it plans to add new titles to its roster each month and one of the next ones to be added a new psychological thriller from m. Night Shyamalan and Company is the best thing I ve seen from Apple it s called servant and it s about a young well to do Philadelphia couple who hires a nanny and almost instantly has 2nd thoughts Toby Kebble and Lauren Ambrose play the couple. In a quiet don t think. She s the only home she stopped this. And it s our job to make her feel more comfortable when you know you re going to. Hold as she does it matter I don t know I was expecting someone. Less weird. He screwed this up for me what I m not allowed to make an observation. I just want us to make a good impression she staff try to remember that the servant is so good so unpredictable and so unsettling it s worth waiting for. And unlike the initial batch of Apple t.v. Plus shows it might even be worth paying for.

Comrades The Raincoats they did not merely by forming an all women band itself a radical move but with music owing little to punk do dogma unquote Albertine says that after the band split up in the eighty s she quit making music and living in squats and tried to stop being an angry young woman she went to film school and became a t.v. Director she got married was diagnosed with cancer 3 months after their daughter was born and nearly died now she s divorced her daughter is in college and Albertine has become a writer a really good one. Her 1st memoir 24 teams close close close music music music boys boys boys was described by our rock critic Ken Tucker as one of the best books he d ever read about punk her new memoir is titled to throw away on opened it s now out in paperback Terry spoke to her last year when her latest memoir was 1st published they ve Albertine welcome to Fresh Air So you have 2 great memoirs I m going to ask you to start with a reading from the 1st one close close close music music music boys boys boys. Yeah I studied record covers for the 9th of Go friends and wives that s how I connected to the world I wanted to be and I scanned the whole of the thank yous and the lyrics looking for girls names especially if I fancied the musician what are these girls like who go out with poets and sing is what if they got that I haven t . I read the book 3 people Jenny Fabian and I m shame to say that I thought it sounded Ok being a groupie but I knew I wasn t what he wildly all beautiful enough to even be that the only other way left for a girl to get into rock n roll was to be a packing thing and I couldn t think every cell in my body was steeped in music but it never occurred to me that I could be in a band in a 1000000 years when you d studied record covers looking for the names of girlfriends and wives. Was that your goal to become the girlfriend or wife Yeah musician. Sadly it was my goal to become a good friend or a wife of a musician I are honestly couldn t conceive of any other way of being amongst creative musical people men if I didn t know women could be part of that group so. You know it s sad looking back but I m just so glad that I am with other people formed something that was then later called Punk where there was a dual for young women and of course the young women it s should be off the slits who were drawn to being in a band couldn t play because we d never had role models and never occurred to us to sit now bedrooms playing electric guitar. And actually that turned out to be a real bonus I think because the music made was so intuitive and self-taught that such a sort of authenticity and a truthful notes to it. We were attempting to cut people as music we were very deliberately not playing 12 ball structures blues structures which you know what musicians have turned into such a cliche and normal put chord progressions we try to literally go in 1000 bodies and listen to the rhythms within ourselves and take the normal words we used every day in our normal thoughts which goals have been written about before well why don t we hear a track from this let s 1st album and this is a song that you initiated that you brought to the band and then the members of the band expanded the song and it s called so tough so I m going to play the 2009 remastered version I think it s from 2009 of the song because it sounds clearer and the original version of this was recorded in the late seventy s so here s the slots so tough. That s a little farming so tough my guest with developer team on guitar and she s written 2 great memoirs the 1st one about her early years and getting into music is called close close close music music music boys boys boys and the new one which picks up after that at way after that actually covers a lot of her life but she s writing it from the vantage point of looking back on her life from ages 59 and 60 and that was called to throw away an open. So what was it like to actually be on stage with the slits you wanted for so long to be in music to have the power of like being the guitarist on stage did it feel like you wanted it to feel well then because I hadn t wanted it for so long you know I guess it s true you didn t think you were capable of doing it that s true I didn t think goals did that so I don t yeah and I do you know and to be amongst musicians and be part of an artistic circle so within sort of moments of me having the thought that I can pick up a guitar all witches came to me about I saw the Sex Pistols play live in about 76. The next day I was going out to buy one so I was you know a very way of breaking down the sort of trumps of being a musician and wanting to go against them not wanting to fall into old male habits but at the. Same time I didn t know what to replace it with so the slicks took a lot of time out of our rehearsal periods which are in old school so broken down houses around London talking about how she stand what position she likes and doesn t look all the time have my skirt this short with a guitar or should have it a bit longer so it sticks out the bottom you know people say oh why haven t women done this moral that more but it takes so much longer to get to the stage where a man is because all the bands in punk that I knew or beginning to form had all spent Eason years practicing with a hair brush in front of a mirror with a tennis racket you know looking at pictures of other guys they wanted to be very skeptical that we could have skipped if we just copied them and go back and still do just copy the way men move on stage to me is so backwards so radical so we took a lot of time thinking about how we were going to stand what we would wear to make the proportions of the guitar in the dress look good or not crazy we didn t care either way thinking about the quarter questions we d use the the Tambura a voice we sang in because most goals that s time and women and I say were sort of deal more recall Dusty Springfield someone really amazing sang in high pressure he got to leave a voice says you know the pop singers we didn t want to sing in those voices I used to say to the girls singing the same register a voice that you would use if you was shouting across a playground at school to someone right on the other side of the playground and it s not that different to the register of a male voice. It seems like you consciously decided not to sexualize yourself to dress you know and clothes that would be considered like really sexy in arousing. Well the most wonderful and refreshing thing about what we can get up between us and between 50 and Westwood America Maclaren the other young girls and boys who hung out at the shop was that we weren t going to try and be this constructed ideal of femininity all masculinity come to that that had been put upon us that not just decades centuries you know to be sort of tittering sort of giggling Smiley appeasing. You know young women who wore clothes to emphasize our figures and attract male attention the male gaze we absolutely know we re going to do that and therefore the clothes we wore Well again very considered but also lots of humor in it so we would jumble up something like you know s. And m. Colors with rubber stockings mixed with a little girl s too to extrude man. Construction boots you d wear on a construction site had matted black eye makeup it was all framed together parodying all the clothes and the symbols you were supposed to wear as a woman and then mix in things that weren t meant to go with it we just stopped people in their tracks as they walked down the road that they couldn t believe it a lot of the response from men straight men especially in the streets was if you re not going to look like a woman and play the game and act like a woman as we ve described we re not going to treat you with women and we re going to beat the hell out of you abuse you spit at you we were we were assaulted everywhere we went we had to go it everywhere in a band force trying to sleep on the floor of each other s flats night otherwise we wouldn t say from the streets I mean. Who was 1415 when we 1st got together was stabbed twice in front of me by men stepped for looking like she looked what did this do to ya. Your feelings about men. Well I was raised to have very very little respect for men by my mother that was before I had to say and you know and how I was raised she did indoctrinate me against men all against Patrick Ok To be fair. And against your father who left you both when and again you got Schild and abused beat you with a belt and abused your mother too. Yeah so she was not cool with men and for no reason she had not only been stymied in her work you know put down. Not promoted cetera et cetera not even got jobs I mean after the war was born 9 years after the war you couldn t get a job if you were married I mean women used to take off their wedding rings and have to pretend they weren t married to even get any little job it was part of a government drive to make sure men coming back from more hard work I mean it made sense but women a taste it freedom because they d worked during the war you know building the planes doing the rivets you know that whatever and that had been taken away from them so you know that there were many resentments in women of my mother s generation and I think they brought up their daughters to be quite militant and to carry the resentment of their mother s generation within them and I think that s why we had such a strong feminist surge. Well let s. Talk more about your life. Viv Albertine 1st became known as a member of the. Punk rock band and that was in the late seventy s she s written to member and her new one has just been published it s called to throw away . Her 1st one was close close close music music music boys boys boys will be right back. On the. Slavery then repeatedly returned to the south to rescue. Stars in the new movie. Point 3. Time on the New York radio hour I ll talk with presidential candidate. Seems to be rising in. The dance to pass roughly 20 of my competitors which is not bad for somebody nobody heard of in January there are admittedly a few more. On the New Yorker radio Saturday mornings at 10. Point 3. Critical problems. Than 1000. Very different. Now. For more theater in. This is Fresh Air and if you re just joining us my guest is vivid Albertine who became known in the late seventy s as a member of the band the slits one of the very 1st punk bands of women musicians. And now she s become known as a great writer she has 2 memoirs The 1st is called close close close music music music boys boys boys the 2nd is written from her perspective of the 2nd half of her life from the vantage point of being 59 and 60 and then that no one is called to throw away an open you were married for a bunch of years I forget how many you had a daughter 17 years you had a daughter together divorced when she was 8 at some point your husband said to you either give up music or it s over I m leaving. And considering. The feminist statements you are making with your music and with your life. What was a lot like to hear that from your husband and one was us in terms of the place that music had in your life was this like long after the slits. So when my husband and I got together I had I was a filmmaker then or a director he liked that very much about me as any good money he was 10 years younger than me he d been a fan of the slits had a poster on the wall so he would he was kind of excited he was going out with the dating you know the guitarist from the slips but at the same time he was very pleased God put it behind me I didn t know why until 20 years later when I picked up the guitar again and said I m going to start playing again and realized that he was frightened of losing me there was this whole concoction in his head of young woman or woman on stage it s just attracting male glances you know wants to sleep with them will have loads of groupies for someone younger than me and an illustrator you know it was very very reactionary and I was incredibly shocked and you never know a person you know we ve been through my cancer together we ve been through years and years of infertility we ve had a daughter we ve stood up to all those things that maybe picking up a Telecaster broke a marriage and that s what made me walk away from the marriage. And I was very sorry to do that because I wanted my daughter to have a steady family the one I didn t have it was not an easy decision well a lot of your new memoir to throw away and opened is about your relationship with your mother a very complex relationship. You were very close. And . I m going to ask you to read a section that s titled Do Not Resuscitate and this is about what you were thinking as your mother was dying. I never asked mom what she was thinking during her last few months in hospital I didn t want to start thoughts of death in her not when it was so imminent in case she was frightened we d talked about her dying in the past but when the looks between a sick note that death was getting close I didn t want to appear too interested in the actual process and treated like a specimen to be analyzed but what was she thinking of a surprise that she kept ordering books from the hospitals my bio library Why did she still want to read and increase our knowledge she only had a few days left as far as she knew what did she care about the 2nd World War or the history of slavery in the southern USA Well that I ve got 30 years left if I m lucky and the thing I most look forward to is all the books I can read in that time . I think it s so interesting that your mother was still reading at the very end of her life and I think it s interesting that you wanted to know why why did she still want honor and it s a very existential question I mean because we re all going to die you know yeah so what point does do things like that lose their meaning if ever. They had a right to say about that I think it s just such an interesting thing to think about it was just so extraordinary to watch her because she loved the radio listen to the radio and I would have thought naturally you could still lie in bed and listen to the radio as you polished but to keep sucking up knowledge because whenever you re going to take that knowledge there was no way like they were you know she was still putting in her brain knowing she had Alice all days left and where was she going to take that knowledge about slavery or the 2nd world war that is still mind boggling to me Do you have you know in that passage you say that you didn t want to actually ask her about the process of dying even though you really wanted to know what she was experiencing that you didn t want to scare her or turn or into like an anthropology project a specimen. Do you think you did the right thing do you have any regrets about not having talked to her about it. No I don t I mean I think it was sensitive you know there s plenty I do regret that I didn t say to her more I should have said to her they always say you say everything which I thank Tom or at one point she said to me what do you remember about all the things I ve told you all the advice I ve given you she wanted me to tell her back you know the think she told me my mind went blank absolutely blank I just stared at her open mouth I had nothing you know they re all moments I regret but. Not that 100 ladder didn t probe too much into what it felt like to die I mean you know she was my mom and my best friend and there s only so far you can take that. My guest is vivid Albertine she was the guitarist and lyricist in the all women British punk band The slits her new memoir is called to throw away and we ll talk more after a break this is Fresh Air.

Events dot com This is Fresh Air and if you re just joining us my guest is Viv Albertine she was the guitarist and lyricist for the all women British punk band The Slits now she s a writer and has just written her 2nd memoir called to throw away an open. And her sixty s now when we left off we were talking about her mother s death. After her death you found one of her airline bags that she d saved on which she d written to throw away. Which of course became the title of your new memoir How did you decide whether to open that bag or throw it away as directed. There was absolutely no decision of course I was going to open up but. My mother knew I would bag she knew me she knew how inquisitive I am that I don t do what I m told it was a provocation and I think in a way she did that to absolve herself of responsibility for what was inside the bag because in the ether she could always call back to me I told you not to open it but of course I did what was in the back. Diaries of the last 2 years of her marriage because in those days you kept a day by day blow by blow account of every moment of your day when you were getting divorced because a divorce wasn t easy to come by and that became part of the court process and it was very painful to read because of course I recognized that I was about 11 years old at the time and it was very fraught and very violent and emotionally violent and my mother was actually even though I didn t really realize it at the time not consciously she was incredibly cruel to me particularly more than my younger sister and that was incredibly painful but it made sense of the fact that from the moment my mother died I didn t feel grief I felt fury with her it s as if your body staus emotions that you can t consciously cope with and they came flooding out overwhelmed me this anger and fury with my mother and I didn t know where it come from how many years ago to today. For how do you feel about her now. Well because I dove like a detective through her past papers through her life through the environment through the divorce laws through her secrets I ve completely place piece together what made her that person what made her react like that to me at that time it makes perfect sense doesn t mean it hasn t had its effect but there s certainly no anger left towards my mother my father my sister you know any more because of writing the book the book ends with you deciding that you re going to burn. Your mother s diaries that were in that bag that was marked to throw away and open because you didn t want to leave your daughter with them did you actually follow through on that and burn them. Can t do it it s terrible and one top of that the 2 books I ve written it s me in a way leaving 2 mobile homes for my daughter so you think that s you she can read the books she finds into a setting She s tried a couple of paragraphs of each one and send it up until it is so. You know me thinking I ll be the bigger person I m going to throw away my mother s and father s Darrius 1st of all I haven t done that and secondly I ve left tomorrow so yeah not good. So since your music and the slits was in part a way of expressing your anger and your new memoir is in part about trying to understand the source of your anger how it s affected your life have dealt with it over the years how you deal with it now what did you try to teach your daughter about how to deal with anger. Well the interesting thing is my daughter doesn t have that she has a different personality to me much more grounded but also different times the fights for her are different she doesn t have to literally kick down doors which I have done in the past in my Dr Martin but to get there all other parts of society in the cult and the world you do you still have to do that women and men but for a young white woman in London it isn t so hard as it was for me so I don t think she has the same level of anger she may feed on behalf of other people and I think a lot of young people do feel anger on behalf of other people in the world and I hope that generation in a way and I think they will a lot of them become sort of. And I was to sort of rather than being the people who jump up on stage and show off that they let me help people less advantaged have a voice or even just step back and let someone else told and saying I m paint who whose culture hasn t been heard you know in the sort of dominant world it has been great to talk with you thank you so much thanks Larry.

This is Chad Benson president come on Twitter couldn t come down for us companies to stop doing business he s done the president writing quote our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China he suggests making products here in the u.s. It s unclear on the president s exerting here top trump economic officials from. It said that American businesses and customers should look beyond China for products in part well I always think that s a good thing I think here s the thing right and this is some I want to remind people of we have a consumption problem Mexico doesn t have a drug problem they have a drug trafficking problem we have a drug problem right we have a cheap consumer goods we like our stuff cheap and businesses like to would maximize profit so it s a tough thing right like we want a gun I would only like to pay $8.00 for that I could buy here for a $1.50 and it pretty much the same thing. So that s half of the issue right who are you ordering people like what you you know what you re not a king I know you think you are and some people think you are the 2nd coming low chosen one right it still makes me laugh but that by the way that s what Braun is let you know he was the chosen one it s ridiculous it is it s absolutely ridiculous but we do need to find a way we talk all about our dependence on fossil fuels and all of these things where we have a dependence on cheap goods here we have a want an addiction to cheap goods we ve got to figure some out are there other places we can go right emerging markets should we be looking in certain areas and going Well let s go here well here s the thing with some of these things like I heard a couple people talking about how we should be in certain play places in Africa here s the here s the she was going in some of these places is stability What s the stability what are the rulers like so much what about China but they re a modern society which are current rules but they re a modern society right where you can t just put something somewhere where you don t have all of the things that you need and potentially too much churn if you will in leadership in countries. But yeah we should be looking at other places we should absolutely be looking at other places but let s remember we like our goods stocked deep and sold cheap and I think sometimes we forget that we . Depend on us and this is a bit on us we like the $64.00 inch television in 4 k. 8 Stephen those like 3 things and 4 k. You know for a dollar we do we enjoy that and everybody I always laugh when you know it s like the climate change. Everybody wants to climate change is great if I don t really have to participate that much right like it s super important we sort this out but I m only willing to go about $100.00 a year so that s what you re going to get for me and I don t really want to do anything and that s a majority of people it s the same thing yeah we want stuff built here in the USA but I also really want cheap goods so and I m not willing to pay for Thad. But we do need to find a place. Or places that if you re going to start doing stuff maybe some of it s here maybe you re going to realize we re going to pay more which may drive wages back up a little bit also may drive the cost up there s a lot of things that go into this and this whole thing with China other things go into this is well I m going to get understand some we talked we touched on it yesterday but I think it s worth noting if you re the Chinese right if we talk about Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia by the way a new c.b.s. Poll majority of Americans don t want Pietschmann And you know they re just they re over it right like they re We ve moved on and we re looking at other things like let s just see where we go here but it s Russia Russia Russia right you know the Chinese want Trump gone. You know if the Chinese want Trump out of here you know they re trying to ease or hoping and praying this move today the 75000000000 in tariffs that start September 1st Remember Trump was going to have his tariffs start September 1st but he called it off why because 4th quarter the economy the whole 9 yards he s looking and saying. I had to be smart about this I m in a reelection campaign but China wants him gone. He is is struggling and you think is the guy that is the head of the Communist Party this smacks of we need to hurt Trump in particular and flex our muscles and the 2nd thing is we re desperate we re desperate we re feeling the strain of the pain and remember in a country like China he essentially is always running for reelection and every single day there s a chance that this could be his last day as the leader if things go south and that economy is struggling right now so this smells of desperation but also of flexing the strength just like when they just devalued their currency about a month ago they wanted to send a message at any given time look what we can do to you guys. So we ll see what happens from here 323532423 at Chapman to show your Twitter you can tweet us David Koch you don t know who he is passed away today billionaire part of those evil Koch brothers energy giant Koch Industries is the 2nd largest privately held company in the nation but it s the conservative causes that its leaders brothers David and Charles Koch have championed that have drawn the most attention more recently though the Koch s have criticized the trumpet ministration on immigration and on tariffs now Charles Coke confirms that his brother David has died at 79 yeah and they changed in a lot of ways politics here now they gave a lot to Republican causes but they were libertarians they talked about the fact that they were libertarians I m basically a libertarian. A conservative. Economic matters and I m a social liberal Yeah he was so it s so funny watching people today who are just vile sending out horrific things about his death but think about this he was very much into marriage equality right little bit more open borders that a lot of people realized didn t like Trump at all was not a fan of a lot of what Trump does well they re evil and they re bad in the money that spent you know but the way that people reacted today just shows you how violent nasty we ve become But look at the thing it s a person die and that s the way that people react it s just it s so amazing you know just people cheering his death talking about you know in lieu of flowers killed by a Republican it s he that here s the other thing when it comes to justice reform. The Koch brothers donated so much money about and over the last several years well over a $1000000000.00 He alone donated to all kinds of institutes and and philanthropic things that he did that you know you would be surprised. But he looked at things like the justice system and said This thing s flawed and it s totally stacked against people of color but they were evil and bad says who says left leaning things you find evil and bad and it s funny because you know that the left has theirs and that s George Soros right that s they re evil they re evil they were pro-choice by the way David was pro-choice but they changed a lot and the amount of money that they donated the things that they did. And because they gave it to somebody who was on the right instead of on the left they re just automatically evil and bad because that s the world we live in it s a world of evil and bad if you re on the right you re evil and bad 323-538-2423 at Chad Benson show is your Twitter you can tweet us all you do well in this beauty for all of her are doing Man I m so excited I m so excited that it s Friday and I am I just it was a good week had a lot of fun a lot of craziness but it s just it s every once in a while you do so much and we did a bunch of fundraisers last couple days and it was just absolutely amazing and but it s tough it is tough you know I was trying to explain to somebody yesterday about you know we were doing the Phoenix Children s Hospital fundraiser.

Independent thoughts independent life. This is Chad and what s different this time is that new government says flight data shows a massive unprecedented increase in the number of finance this year since January we re talking about more than 72000 fire outbreaks that s an 84 percent increase but most shockingly more than 1505 just since last Thursday yeah the Amazons on fire I don t know if you guys know this. And for us here in the United States of America know that this is the Amazon as they d like to say it they are the it s the lungs of our planet and so on fire. And you ve got the president of the narrow but as you say now it s the N.G.O.s they need money and you ve got people saying no it s climate change it s it s there s so many fires that I m sure it s a bit of everything right. Because and the Brazil government if for those you don t know they need land right they need land they need stuff to to for as they continue to grow the population grows and and so what they do is they start to cut some of the stuff down which you re not supposed to do but they kind of turned a blind eye then they ll like the they ll burn it they ll do like a controlled burn in certain areas so it s. It s ugly but I was just reading a headline it s politicians and celebs decide that it s time to start fat in the fire of the Amazons and I m like so celebs Now that s that s what s making you do it well yeah I don t do anything unless somebody is that number one hit and let s see that another what it and I got a list of the a because you up popular. So stupid but the battle is on and this is the clear because the climate change thing think about how many fires there are in the Amazon . That s what s crazy is like these are because so many and it s not just you know big evil corporations or small farmers there s other people out there they do control burns they re trying to control certain areas that they live in it s it s crazy and now it s the blame game because the blame game is always fun because what we need a villain don t have perhaps according to environmentalists anyway is the president and also the right wing president of Brazil would describe himself I think it s fair to say as fairly anti environmentalist kind of more on the side of developers than conservationists and he thinks that environmentalists and conservationists are too much for a free rein in the Amazon and that previous administrations have given them too much power so he s tried to roll back some of the restrictions on farmers in previous years yeah so but the battle began but just know that there s a giant fire going on in in our lungs if you will just want to point that out Chris ace Bernie Sanders we all know who is right one percent everybody does probably because as far as the one percent is the Koch brothers it s about it s one percent and this little so he was on with. Every time I looked Chris Hayes is just that he looks like a caterpillar. From from a Disney movie. That s that s out of here from jerks true it s true sometimes things are just true so he was on any and I was in Sacramento as a California everybody s in California buying Beto and booted judge because it s the big you know there was this big thing in California but. Bernie 1st of all he went out to paradise right which was the big fire was and he blamed the big fire on climate change which is an absolute lie that fire was. Right p.g.d. Caused the fire p.g. And e. Did they did they caused the fire right. The fact that the some of the regulations in California are so insane where you can t you know stuff is dry and you re not allowed to remove it or do anything because of all these crazy loony regulations but no it s it was all it s the one percent and climate change and little so he was on with Chris Hayes talking about you know what he d like to do when it comes to energy and Chris Shays is just was Chrissy s on sort of one part of the plan that I find fascinating which which is about the how power is generated and distributed. You talk about there s public there are some federal public administration of our in this country based on the Tennessee Valley Authority and others right and basically you you propose essentially a federal takeover of the whole thing pick a century at Tennessee Valley Authority extension for the whole country and I get my understanding that very early next year in the ballpark That s right that s right you re in the ballpark and that s absolutely right that we have to take over all of the power and that s what the government should be doing this is this is why even I talk to my friends who are Democrats who are concerned who are liberals even progressive This is the fear factor of the Bernie so he wants a full takeover of health care now he s proposing in his $16.00 trillion dollar green new deal over 10 years is a takeover of the government of energy look the t.v. Has done a lot of good work it produces electricity from hydro power and all the sources what we need to do is have an aggressive federal government saying that we are going to produce a massive amount of oil from solo and from wind and from other sustainable energies and we will sell it out and by the way we re going to make money doing that but you can t in nickel around the edges anymore we need to trend right form our energy system that means a massive increase in sustainable energy that s a massive increase and look I ve talked to him I think we need to do a much better job at the way we create energy I m a big fan of nuclear. Huge fan of it I think it s a good thing I think we should be using nuclear in a bigger way they should look at it everybody freaks out about it right everybody oh my god data but you know I m a big fan of that and I think in certain areas you can pull off some solar you can pull off a lot of different things but you what you also need in this is something that people need to realize who are you know who when we talk about climate change and all of these things is you also need consistency right when it comes that you don t want a hey you know what 2 days a week I go home my power is not working but I ve got to deal with it you don t want that we won t accept that right you re not going to accept that so we need consistency and I think through technology and stuff we can do that but one thing I know is I don t want the government don t mean you re talking about taking over and nationalizing our power and energy and our health care what s next I mean this is what it is he s proposed the you know nationalizing banks in the post office no I mean my goodness me. That s the scary part that s the scary part like I m sorry man right I know you re genuine in your belief and I understand but that s the stuff that scares me right you want to have this crazy socialist utopia that doesn t doesn t exist speaking of crazes is socialist utopia so Hasbro has put together a Monopoly game that is socialist right so it s a socialist Monopoly game right and people are upset and some people are mad and I think it s funny go for it have fun. Right have fun with it and you re going to draw all kinds just like you do you draw all kinds of cards and some of the stuff right so it s it s the adult twist as they call it on the classic Monopoly game but this time it s socialism so including a reduced $50.00 living wage right for passing go normally get $200.00 for passing go so the joke is socialism makes your poor poor and this is a parody so of an easy get over themselves right and there s all kinds of things that you can do when you pull it out and you know these cards are just. Just just so funny I laugh people can t take a joke people get freaked out I get it through you know it s real it s real so instead of like buying hotels it s all commune nobody really wins the game there s no real like you know along the way you struggle and oh my God So they re going to be rolling it out like it s like 60 bucks or 20 bucks I m like I know it s 20 bucks . And we got a commercial thank you Hasbro for Senator surly if you value never again play a never ending game of fact get capitalistic monopoly Hasbro is great news for you Hasbro presents the latest in Millennium ball game socialism monopoly in this game you won t travel the boardgame alone you move from space to space with a mob of angry and titled radical revolutionaries who make sure you never win too much money because if you do you get a card that allows them that club you over the head and distribute your hard earned dollars equally to fellow comrades along the way you ll stop at a no tipping gluten free Vegas restaurant with a living wage for a snack and then hop over to your free college get free s.t.d. Test at your free healthcare clinic and stop at the community Museum of co creation where everyone takes credit for everything ever invented best of all there is no get out of jail free card because jail is so politically incorrect monopoly socialism the game for people who work out of winning and who just want free crap I mean a we don t have to pay for it right Hasbro monopoly socialism just 999 because the game is in free bro monopoly socialism indorsed by socialist dead in a lie from Bernie Warren a o.c. To Fidel Castro Che Guevara and Chairman Mao Wow that sounds like fun. Who s ready for that you may say we can all be ready for that that s a good time right there kids socialism it s what s not for dinner 323532423 as had been said show is your Twitter you can tweet at me How do you feel about food I m starving right now but to soccer games last night so we had the big. Give a thought and I didn t eat because I kind of do an intermittent fasting where I kind of like 168 sometimes 806 if you know what that is it s where you are there s several different ways you in a minute fast but so if you have let s say you finish eating at 7 o clock at night in theory you re not going to eat again till 11 or 12 the next day so and that s when you break your fast if you will and so you skip you know breakfast or whatever it is and yesterday I had. Lunch I was starving and I m working out hard everything and I went play soccer last time I well get some food after soccer and then I got to play another game and I m not turning that down and I did it was just too late to eat and I m like oh my gosh. I m so hungry and this is maybe you know I m almost said earlier a fellow hangry and oddly enough can food improve your mood more and more studies are proving a link between your belly and your brain in fact doctors say 90 percent of the chemical Sarah tone in is manufactured in your gut so even the right foods can actually stave off depression make you happier the experts say you should steer clear of processed foods that don t lose the good bacteria produce in your belly eat a least 5 servings of fruits and veggies a day and actually enjoy your meals eating with others not channeling down in front of the t.v. All of it can improve your mood oh yeah hence the reason people get hangry. You know we re talking about for years so like 2 weeks ago when Jack was here there was a day where he was like he was tired and he was hungry to the point where he became hangry and I finally said you re hangry What do you mean Dad I said you just you re being a turd because you haven t eaten and sure enough he ate something and in the space of about 20 minutes his mood changed I get that way to me and I get angry fast 323532423 at Chavez and shell is your Twitter a lot of people tweeting him talking about we re touching on David Koch who passed away one of the Koch brothers even.

What year do you think they started calling these things c 123 because you know Day No no they didn t do it originally were you remember it was it was Sting Ray 2 words for the 2nd generation then it was sting ray all one word I m going to say was it c 5 from the sort of doing that I see the reason why it s because nobody knows his they went back and picked up a year or 2 earlier and called it see something and they sort of snuck into that so people say Did you ever drive a c 2 and I said there wasn t one 0 you can have them for him and then I would say there was a c one now not so much not at the time there wasn t it in color so you can go back any way you want well and people who knew these cars would did you d say what year you d say you know $71.00 they said they know it s a $71.00 Corvette they would know in their head 3rd generation but nobody actually said c 3 did and it was never in print nobody did it doesn t matter those are the just lingo those that live inside lingo that. P.r. Departments come up with I m not even sure it s you know I think it s enthusiastic but there s a certain. There s a certain I know more than everybody else does and they like to have this lingo like people who refer to Mercedes Benz by their chassis numbers you know oh I ve got an r r 107 and it does w $116.00 and I could just tell me what year and what you know is that in 7 s. Crescent like a 7 I was going to show and I Well that s the yeah but it makes it easier so as far as generations of Corvette go think about it in 63 years we re only going into our 8th generation of the car I mean that s a long time and of course people talk about how many years the Corvette has been and production they forget well that every year now not every year we were in the. Same thing and so there were a couple of things there there was that 1903 there was no Corvette and they had a big they had all these like little blurbs going across the stream screen while we re waiting for the thing to start did you so you probably caught that like I did it s been a continuous production and I know it has and I was standing 10 feet from the n.p.r. And I was not and I remember that time every But fact is we had one of the best. Reveals at the Riverside Raceway effect wasn t there at all or cause reversal red or Riverside blue or Corvette as appropriate at that Riverside Raceway name and yeah you know they call them Riverside saying you know they don t Ok And it was. About. The 1983 Corvette Ok and they had just lavish press kits for a good year. Ok here back tire was debuting wasn t later back tire This was huge the car when this big press reveal was going on had been postponed x. Number of months nobody agrees on how long and it turned out that it never happened that year at all but boy were we purposely or I remember somebody published the press kit illegally because they had so much time that story and a year to spare to make a book out of it so finally the next generation did come out it was in 1904 and it was a modern 1st time for a new chassis the car handled really really well had a brand new one myself and I took it straight and those are the days where I just couldn t leave a car alone and when he got a car this red 84 event was the 1st one that was out there so to speak early. And it had go to the 3 piece wheels and took at the deco strand Culver City and I says we re going to drop this thing a little bit and it had well we developed a plastic spring for oh well here the composite leaf spring came about in the rear in the previous generation I think I want to say in the late seventy s that was pretty innovative it was dubbed the plastic spring Ok So dig in his wonder on the car and snugged up the wheel well openings I call they had to be at a certain regulatory number high and you didn t like that you know what that all the car looks sleeker like any car what I m what I m saying is a lot of her sit at a certain height because they have to meet bumper height and stance wasn t so obvious but anyway so I said to Dick and he wouldn t show me what he did I said How do you know or this thing it s plastic Yeah what do you do he s just take it torch Oh no. And I look at the floor and when the Mallon go melted plastic gets so high I know it s low and. I bought it hoping I thought it through a while and till I told that 1st story and then. Again embarrassed myself but he wouldn t tell me his little method for doing that but he had it down 1st was it change the spring mounts perhaps maybe leave the spring because people lower the rear of cars by doing leverage by putting blocks between the least spring and the axle so I know there are ways to do it changing this car actually handled really well so it was a complaint that I always heard in that generation of Corvette was that they handled really really well on a smooth smooth Well Road Yeah but they they started with a z. $51.00 that was the roughest writing are believe it or not since you got on some bumps it was also the car was lower Yeah it was a lot smoother an interesting and. Gill s Indico Strand. Was a chancy guy was a racecar driver he was a lot of things but everything he did enhanced drivability unlike some shop that would take a torch and he old days and and heat the coil spring which is probably not the safest way to hard to have corals right or whatever and so it was quite the deal and yeah there were. Some dozens of 1983 core vents I was back at the. In Detroit and also a bowling green and saw them and there is one that exists in the Corvette Museum can t say for sure if there is another 2 or 3 left but most of more crushed and so there was a prototype cars not not exactly not for retail sales actually and I was talking about events and how big this event was that you and I attended another pretty big event but it was for media only you didn t have every Chevrolet dealer this event had an Corvette clue didn t have every Corvette club member there was this event and. How many people do you think with the other night I would say between $2.30 and isn t in the room and I certainly have heard 2000 easily yeah yeah plus as a brochure that people come coming in but in shuttles and they had a center section if you picture like a movie theater you know the center section they had 2 wings you know seats and other wings so if you had them up I d say over 2000 maybe maybe closer to 3000 I have no doubt you know was the other event that I will always remember was July 2nd 1992. Yeah I know everybody says one name born then I ve heard anyway 900 I 2nd 1992 at the bowling green plant for media was a 1000000 I was going to try as I was trying to guess the number of said Ok it s my read interior just like the original millionth Corvette Zor it on the off was there I have assigned he was photographed with us at the time and some years. And I got a signed deal and Shefali was using him a lot for advance they had sort of brought him back oh yeah he was retired but he was a legendary you know you would talk about having it done tough came in you re not just your Corvette any kind of hot Chevy and the last 3 digits of the part number of a ton dog cam was no idea or 97 but of course and he talk about the insiders I got to know 97 cam and they knew it was the high lift cam. The high left hot cam that were 97 people with people whatever ties you know even if you had like you know a 67 Camaro it s a you know small block with a ton tough cam that was like a cool term even to people to know who that was they just knew that name meant I m sure anyway I have some momentum the millionth Corvette including a little model car says millions and the cars in the museum obviously in Bowling Green or is it well it was damaged in the sinkhole but didn t they fix all those cars except a couple are still Scojo and they were they display them that way because they were just too far gone yeah is it really all the. So anyway yes a big Corvette I meant do you remember the l.a. Auto Show. The introduction of a Corvette and simultaneously Simon simultaneous with that if you to say it was introduced at the Detroit show at the same time and there s a time dear farewell. And shovel a these are during press days. Had hired identical twins and so they had to wait here at this event in l.a. And the whole pitch was and now we are going to send you pointing to the shot and then. Back to their trite to kick off their introduction and of course it s on screen and both ends of the country watched and sure enough he comes out of this box or something back in Detroit and it s the same guy. Same same clothes obviously insane yeah yeah and so that was a big event but they didn t invite the world to it so. This coming event here which you re going to hear about so what year was that one because I remember the year let s see it when the c 6 and the l.a. Auto Show was always going on about the same time as the that was right out of shows and 5 Don t yank it any good and then so and so I remember but so these are the 6 that was the 6 of the show you know they are they they have all the news conferences and then when they introduce the c 6 Corvette in Detroit while the l.a. Auto Show was going you know during its 10 day run and then they rolled in they had a duplicate on out here rolled in and I remember going down there doing a story and going into the convention center you know with the p.r. People early and there were people plastered up against the glass doors mostly you know burning their Corvette apparel that were waiting for the doors to open it 10 am or whatever it was to run and literally I saw them running with their cameras to take pictures of the of the Corvette because it was going to be there in the flesh . Yes well I was right anyway those are some of the things now. It is it is time. You know this is the car show on k.p. Of Kate Los Angeles now we don t have to say 90.7 but it is your it sure is a or you might be listening many other ways we are been talking about and teasing a little bit the 8th generation Corvette the sting ray they went back to calling it sting ray with the last generation this was not just rumored recently but rumored for literally going back decades go way back to I found an article Motor Trend did an article in its online they said the title of the article was we ve put mention Corvettes on our covers 9 times since 1968 or whatever it was and they had examples it was all these Is this the next Corvette look at here s Mitt engine with rotary power this is going to be this and you know my God Can you believe this and all wheel drive and so they said well now it s finally happening and it finally did happen we were treated to quite a lavish show on Thursday night down at one of the old if you re familiar with those 2 huge Marine Corps blip originally blimp hangars down at what used to be Marine Corps Air Station test and back when that was the middle of nowhere in Orange County now of course development surrounds it but they re still there and they put on a big big show to reveal the new Corvette very true and long awaited and I guess it I just plugged it in for the day that goes back more than 40 years on the covers of we call him buff books when they re really caught our Orient Car and Driver Motor Trend and all these road on track and there wasn t one of them that missed having a car shot of the. Mid engine Corvette that s due next year or maybe 2 years that goes back more than 40 years. And well it wasn t that the dream of their arc is done tough he always wanted to do and they did these Sierra v one and c.e.o. Of the service or 1st $23.00 they had in 1995 1000000 Gen So Chevrolet Corvette on a prototype side have had mid engine Corvettes. Many times but they were prototypes they never show cars they were but they ran they got tested and. It finally happened there were rumors that weaken the spell right now no they re not going to make 2 Corvettes the same thing yeah I knew that some people say oh they gonna make you a old well run engine car and all something for that was good because the minute in Corvette is going to be $120000.00 so they have to keep making the cheaper ones it was also another it was also completely untrue yeah as they said. The Corvette will start at under $60000.50 who know who knows do you have you know what the current base price is right now I want to say it s around $52.00 or $54.00 of the outgoing one I will say this and having been pretty close to it over the years I have been always shocked at how underpriced Corvettes have always been for their. Design some years they were stylish or are there they were just profile cars some years they were. Genuine muscle cars oh yeah $700.00 or whatever and they have always been so under priced for a 3rd of the price of the competition that they can beat being Ferrari Lamborghini that the real high and super sports cars as we were and that s still true yeah. Yeah there s a z. 51 which is the higher horsepower and sort of the racer car and that has to do was suspension some horsepower tweaks and there s the base car still made the engine you can t tell from the house and they didn t get into a lot of specifics about what was going to be standard but you know there s not going to be a stripped down model I mean there s not going to be one with steel wheels and plastic hubcaps and you know not anymore from the seeds I mean it s you know we move beyond that you know even if you can find a dealer that would have or will let you order let s say $59150.00 you know it s going to be pretty pretty tricked out with stuff and it really is that yeah so anyway then the other rumor was no more v. 8 it will be a twin turbo v. 6 or it ll be a hybrid or it ll be a and whatever it will lead the way with no more v. 8 in the end as I really like is look what happened in Indy cars they want a twin turbo v 6 as well I mean obviously the Corvette will be a twin turbo v. 6 why that makes no sense but no so here s the basics it s still a v 86.2 liter naturally aspirated We will of see other versions of it down the road but for now naturally aspirated 490 horsepower with the performance exhaust so I m thinking that s probably an option or part of a package so if you don t get that let s say for 70 but we re talking about a pretty serious amount of hours power 8 speed to a clutch automatic transmission Yes there is no manual transmission which follow suit with a lot of cars going that way. And a mid engine design with a with a really attractive way to showcase the engine you can like they do with other cars for we started doing this years ago you can look in. Through Glass and see the engine is sitting there behind the driver s seat mid engine basically means the engine is between the wheel base or within the wheel base so the engine is literally right behind the drivers I didn t get a chance to sit in it because I don t want to wade through there were literally a 1000 people on the stage all trying to sit in 3 cars and I was sure working but Mark Royce who s not a short man himself president of General Motors who was kind of leading the show there he said we put in an extra inch of leg room and that was a relief to me because a lot of mid engine cars the sea travel is limited and I find them short of leg room but they re promising more leg room in the outgoing car and that partially is the engines behind you so you can have a foot well this and longer That s right and you can have a because you don t have to so you re well and you could have a dashboard that s lower for better better visibility is true in both of these cases Exactly exactly and you know Corvette club members members are there and there s always that group that s. But I think that would be true if they were giving the cars away free that was the case when the c. 17 but biggest complaint was where the room till it got to the Marone pillar to look at the core of it so well they managed to sell a fair number of sea sevens with those rectangular taillights you re very esoteric and there and you always have to discount maybe the top positives and the bottom naked and you get through the summer in the middle I also what I ve noticed people commenting you know kind of armchair people who were not there and I ve only seen photos saying look at the back it looks terrible you can see it in person because you know it s it s an object it s a it s a 3 dimensional object you got to see it in person as good as high resolution pictures are they don t always show you sort of the details in the essence of the way a car looks I think the rear end looks fantastic I mean they did a great job of making it you know it s a Corvette right off the bat but you know it s also something really special it doesn t it looks like the outgoing Corvette and it doesn t look like they are going Corvette if that makes any sense at all one thing that you have to note and maybe this is where some of the people are a little disappointed the old time purists who want to live axle problem. So I just wanted her drum for my drum break and I want to know about a 1058 what happened anyway. I think when you get into this era of supercars when you. Go to cruise nights and there are more Lamborghinis there than I think they ever made maybe they re all out here all the same there or what we know they ll be a concourse of a tele auto in moderate next month and so you don t have to get that specific they re everywhere and he way yeah from an aerodynamic standpoint from an engine placement standpoint I think it does go along with the super quote super car look of today that is not everybody s cup of tea now that is not and I m not sure I think that controversy is. Health healthful you know not just help full and. There has to be differences of opinion but when you look at that car and some some stances here it s a lot like some of the other super cars but what can you do well the thing is you have to elongate the the center of the car because think of like the Audi r 8 think of most modern Ferrari s you have to have you know whereas before if you look at the side profile of the outgoing Corvette the c 7 and you look at one of those like cutaway drawings the driver seat is right ahead of the rear wheel well opening you know it s that kind of push by because the engines way up front now you got to put the engine in the transmission you don t want it way in the back because that s that s not a fission design so you ve got to put it you know between the driver in the in the axle basically So you ve got to be long at the middle of the car there s nothing you can do about that what you can do is put your designers on it and give them the task of like Ok Go to it make it is make it as least ugly as you can or make it is . Least and sleek as you can interesting you say that I happened to sit with 5 designers of the c. a Corvette the new Corvette they were young people they didn t design the entire car but boy were they excited I had asked them Have you seen this program because they rehearse these thing for No no no we ve seen little clips and things but this was their 1st outing into the public and boy were they interested in reaction. I asked 4 out of the 5 young people designers General Motors. And you haven t worked on other cars not yet I mean these are new ways to talk about these are means you know you know you get out of design school young people you know your young pure center the Corvette project right away they were so pretty good hast in a way Larry and and they couldn t wait to ask me what I thought and I told him the popcorn was delicious. And in and out burger truck and they all rolled their eyes and I said you said the simple people here yeah they said it would be like this and they all wanted your jacket he had a vintage Chevrolet Corvette on that everybody wanted the Corvette club members almost took it off it was one of the kidnap you just get the check I did that for reaction and I had no idea to get that much free and well it was pretty cool one of the cool things about this presentation was the timing of the week today is the day that the u.s. Astronauts 1st landed on the moon and so they and Corvettes have been tied in with astronauts for years going back to the 1960 s. And so they given a little projection and screen of like the Apollo 11 launch and landing on the moon The eagle has landed in one small step for mankind and they brought up on a stage 2 I guess you call them retired or former astronaut father of them or yes an engineer named I believe her name is May Jemison and then Scott Kelly he sets the record for spending time in the International Space Station and they both came up and talked about you know the innovation of the space program and then the innovation of people wanted to do bold things and with cars and with you know things like rockets and the what it took to get these 3 astronauts to the moon you know using the technology of the 1960 s. And safely home again and then repeated a few times they said you know that s an undertaking and we re proud of it part of the space program but we know that there are people who work on the Corvette you know they re retiring and you re dedicated to looking at the future and. Pushing the boundaries and all that sort of thing so that was kind of cool also and they showed some pictures of them back in the day of Corvettes that were owned by astronaut special programs they had and that was just a neat part of the presentation before we even saw the car just to kind of tie it all into what s been talked about this week with the 50th anniversary of that Apollo 11 moon landing and I like the next speaker who came up not sure who was Mark rice but they had several at that point and they said yeah the influence of the space program room really had a big. Influence on us with a c. a Corvette because like a rocket ship the engines in the back. That was there was really good like I think did Mark Kelly say that he was your synopsis partner Scott Kelly astronaut he said yeah it was like like like any good like any good spaceship the engine is behind the driver you know. Yeah I was there anyway so then the next thing was the Here comes the Corvette and you know the lights and flashing and music and everything else here came 3 Corvettes heading right toward us and this is a very long hangers with a lot of space to work with even 1000 feet long even with the space that you know the stage and the bleachers was 17 stories high yeah it s in Pride never been inside one of these before and it s impressive circum the 3 cars and they re playing all this music and being in engine sounds and here they come and the red part of the red one stays in the center of the blue in the white when he was shooting off to the side besides just go there are going pretty good speed and there comes a red one on stage and then the round of applause thunders you know cameras everyone sticking their phones up in the air and everything else and then who gets out. But Mark Royce president of the General Motors but as he was getting out of the car he hit the windshield wipers and so the wipers are going and this is the same guy who had a little mishap with a Corvette at an auto race last year and got a lot of attention for that I thought of this poor guy you know whatever reason front of a lot of people they made a joke about it later we re doing somewhat weather testing to make sure the wipers work Ok However I will say about the way I ve been in those hangars there are 2 of them left yes. Many times for car shows local car shows you know they had hinted re scene out around these oversea Now there s a road well there s really no exit at all the houses and stores and warehouses that s a tracing there and. Quite a venue and was 17 storeys high with rule would in heavy use of these originally dirge robo hangers they also have these up at Moffett Field in Sunnyvale California so I want to go right there right outside San Jose and he writes the I m every time I drive by any way. They do have their own happiness fear I have been at a car show when there is a cloud. A rain cloud inside this thing and it sprinkles water and from then on if you knew what was going on you d always put your car outside for the car show not in the sun so it wasn t so far now we didn t see that it happens fear and I m not saying it happened that day but they do contain their own that and sphere I kept feeling a breeze but I think it was because they pumped in air conditioning as part of their building of this elaborate set every Chevrolet uses venue extensively now because the commercials about. Paid actor I just you know these are real people what do you think of this when you think of this not all of those ads when they re looking at various cars are in that hangar Well it s a lot of space for and I guess that s what you would use those kind of things for but we got we got quite a treat and then what was great about this whole thing after the invite everyone to come up on the stage and they d announce the price of the car and there s an online ordering program to get it going and I was hurting right now yeah and I was told that the 1st delivery should start sometime perhaps December early deliveries you know they ll they will run the assembly line at a snail s pace to get the cars up to speed as as a pretty much everyone does these days with a new car but then we got this really cool. Display of the pieces of the car you know because they had these curtains they pulled up and now we when we went in they were they had every generation a Corvette they had the original 53 course white with the red interior as all 300 of them were them. Now we call them the c 2 that was the sting ray from 63 to 67 the next generation which was 6882 I believe that one ran the longest didn t last as generation Yeah so anyway they had the whole time line a Corvette and then after the side you got to see the bottom of the car the chassis the suspension component it s really impressive the the the light weight of this car to. So they re putting in a lot of carbon fiber they re using a lot of aluminum pieces some titanium that was my best reaction of my postings because no one else that I saw did a top and bottom of the Corvette so from top to bottom it was not disappointed no Here s another trick thing that we get to see a demo of at least on video and they didn t invent this because Porsche started it when they came around with the last generation $9111.00 of the problems with having a car like this they usually have a pretty low front end with a spoiler and a low front and just like Porsche do with the 911 you can come up let s say your driveway your own driveway at home it s a pretty steep angle and you know you see people you know going in an angle or going really really slow and then but her still scrapes with a sort of because. You know that there s not much you can do about I ve seen people put pieces of wood in the gutter to help the fires get over hit a button on the dashboard and the front suspension raises up 2 inches in just a few seconds like it s not slow it goes up pretty quickly here s the trick part and you can do that for let s say. Speed Bump in a parking lot that you go to let s say at work or whatever else or you know one of those drainage culverts when you do that and raise the front end up the car will ask you Do you want to remember this drive for this speed bump and do the g.p.s. It will remember the exact location of where your driveway is or where that speed bump is you driver and will remember up to a 1000 of them so now when you drive Aaron you have it in this mode press one but you know it raises the curb for you if you does it I thought you had to hit a but not with a location just to say I want to act oh I want to have it yeah but it but it knows exactly where it is you know a little mirrors that points to things like you know we ve seen these other g.m. Cars I think it started with Cadillac the. Camera camera monitor in the rearview mirror and you flip the mirror and instead of seeing the actual mirror reflection you re seeing a camera image which is handy they started I think with the Cadillac x t 5 because if you had a bunch of cargo in the back you re blocking your view well the Corvette hasn t put the camera up high like where that shark finasteride often is so you have a really good unobstructed view behind you and I saw him and a colleague who owns a new Ford g.t. And he manually raises his front and up and down for a prince going into a drive I think is that when I wrote and want to learn to get out of the little parking area they had to do that and I. Was interested in his reaction and you could see the and the well go to do that manually on my car or baby you know anyway once or for you know. That is a 1st dive I got all. The latest generation 1st to market for Corvette of a mid engine the hate which is going to be with us for many many years v 8 normally aspirated pushrod dry season. All right some poising standard so they can get it nice and low in the current t 2 designation they re calling it and when we hear that the Eights are gone not so much well I guess that makes headlines though it has you know you know if you want to see the new Corvette you will have an opportunity they ll be many opportunities are going to parade them around to dealerships but the newest one the soonest one we know about is next weekend at the Peterson Automotive Museum they are doing done tav tribute weekend they re going to have classic Corvettes coming in and car shows and everything else but they re doing Saturday evening July 27th and also Sunday evening July 28th they re doing events in the museum and they re going to invite people to come in and you have to pay for these things of course and they Chevrolet will have the new Corvette there on display so if you ve been wanting to figure out when you can see it I m guessing this is one of the 1st opportunities to see it if not the 1st in Southern California Peterson museum next weekend and you re right there will be opportunities to see these on a display basis at designated dealers who signed up and send the truck lewdly and they ll advertise it whatever so there will I would see in a month to 2 months time if you really want to see one and sit in one and check it out firsthand you ll have the opportunity to do that and I d say the best place to figure out where that s going to be is on Corvette Forum so you know on online forums you know Corvette and through c.s. Will will say hey the curve is going to be you know blah blah blah Chevrolet on Saturday the whatever so you know if you really want to see the thing I would look on the specialty forum and probably on the Corvette website because they don t want this to be a c.e.o. They never lay they want to see exactly I think if you go to Chevrolet dot com find the Corvette page and you ll get your get clued in for sure very good and as time goes on if we think about. Things that we want to bring up about this car. Some of the materials used to make it lightweight Well they also know maybe we don t have the full placing announcement yet so we will know what it cost to have this package and that package and with the under $60000.00 price is great but I think when you start putting some things on them you know most of these are going to be more money and 0 to $60.00 yes in under 3 Suporn one second and you know how they re able to do that that s because of that automatic transmission and also the fact that the engines in the middle and they have great traction be true the 8 speed automatic transmission is a dual quotes transmission they want to make sure you know this is not like the transmission in your you know 67 Corvette or whatever this is a true performance oriented transmit as we find in Lamborghini as we find in for as we find in a m g Mercedes models super low 1st gear which really gets the thing moving then 2nd through 6 a real close ratio and of course 7th and 8th are over drives for for highway travel but that s why they think it accelerates so quickly you can t shift a manual transmission fast enough to beat that time and we have seen that in all fairness with the p d k o in Porsche absolutely in Puerto it s been some years now that we have experienced cars where it will shift you yeah there is no way you can do a better job now there s you know it s not huge but but just when you want lever and when you want to. Have. A manual transmission for fun they are still available in some cars and in Porsche for instance. Full Ray almost not there is u.v. And well $911.00 Turbo that when p.t.k. Only well but interestingly there were 2 different I noticed at least Corvette tuners in the audience names you would know and I wonder if they re trying to figure out because if you see the interior shot there s really no place to put a manual gearshift it s got a very narrow center console which has the buttons for the automatic and there s pedal shifters of course I m thinking I ll be looking I think and where can I put that stick shift if I want to do a manual version of this anyway we can identify that we re on k p f k the car show I ll keep you here Los Angeles there you go we re going to talk about a car that is reality today you could drive it to k p f k this afternoon if someone did yeah and it s from a company Volkswagen now Volkswagen their history started under a dark cloud it was not really for many years it was denied and not publicized today we can say Yeah Hitler ordered it up as the people s car in the thirty s and it lasted a long time it started under this dubious cloud and if we re talking about the beetle which we re not going to report on today we have both driven the final edition it s gone away or going away there s not making any way and that ended under a dark cloud all these years later because Volkswagen has had. To put it lightly credibility problems of some. Significance the car that we re going to talk about is the 2019 false waiting Gulf a lot of versions of that but this is the r. This is the 2.2.0 heater turbo it happens to have. D c c 1st time that they have some variable ride. Choices it also is available they have a geisha golf that that s that s pretty good but this car has our version has come out over the years in limited numbers not consistent every year but boy when it s available it sells out it is a fun car it handles tremendous mine 6 speed manual transmission do they make a beacon of misspeaking a manual and you know it s fewer and fewer if you want to you know get one because as we keep seeing they re going away this is this would be considered the ultimate version of this golf chassis you know I know years ago they had the r 32 which was that was Generation 4 and now those are collectible because they did they sold very few of them they were rather expensive but that had a v. Or 6 all wheel drive so there s always an ultimate No there s the golf we have the eagle off which is electric we have the regular golf we have the g.t. I but this is the golf are and they really do an understated badging on it there s just a little are on the rear deck it you know of course it s a v.w. In the center which is the handle for the hatch but it doesn t say you know this is the golf are a little little are kind of nondescript and if you re in the know you kind of see that you kind of nod to go that s that s the really fast one and this is it has more amenities. Surprise and delight features including drivability aids safety that has never been in these cars before that is not attributed necessarily to the r. But certainly to how far Volkswagen has come from a technical standpoint and I guess you have say good technical rather than bad technical but they ll live with that for a while and performance. Just amazing the safety features are all there that you would expect from a driving aids always feel interior and exterior just excellent $1002.00 wheels. And that s a really great color you have out there too it s as if you know outstanding everyone tends to buy black white and silver but Volkswagen is among the automakers that they do offer interesting colors on the cars if you re bold enough to choose them absolutely and call a p.s. Blue metallic. I think you have a blue Do I have a indigo blue indigo blue yeah same number doors with this one it s right you know over the years they have made ours I have heard all they ve made of a Hooters and they have and bought a lot called a fiver because it is a hatchback and there s a practical aspect of it you know you don t necessarily need an s.u.v. All the time if you just like to occasionally you know do the Home Depot run for some for some plants or flowers or you want to go to Costco he flip that back seat down open the hatch up and boy is there a ton of room back there so it s the it s the Swiss Army knife of cars because it can be your economy car your utility vehicle and your performance car all rolled into one now unlike I mentioned golf in the Volkswagen line has a lot of interation lots and lots of different models from. Just great transportation an economical standpoint to. As close as they have to a race car which is very impressive Oh you know really well and you ve got to remember this is this is part of both wagons legacy you know the g.t. I 1st came around well it was available in Europe in the late seventies The 1st came around here in 1903 and there was a time when there wasn t really anything else like it because you either had a performance car or you had all practical hatchback and this kind of rolled over than in the one and it was like oh look at that talk about a cult following. Been a very very popular car over the years and I see a fair number of these on the road along with g.t. Eyes there are people who kind of get it you know they know it s like Sure yeah this is a practical car I can drive back and forth to work it s not horrible on fuel it didn t cost me a ton of money but boy if I want to maybe take it to an auto cross or do a track day or whatever else it s got the beans to do it it really does and this is made for that the r. Addition and the said thickly although. The other golf models are very very well done Also Oh sure I think you know compared to the generation that I own just the basic golf you know an se grade golf which you can probably get for around $2425000.00 is a heck of a deal and it s a very nice car but it doesn t have that extra you know with the with the air power in the other all turbos now I think pretty much the golf for either a $1.00 leader in the g.t.a. And this will come with a 2 liter various states of horsepower pending on which model and this is one that was a 230 use and I know it s up there too to 20 something and then a listed here. In unlike Yes the Open golf tournaments that s going on that s right now yeah this made the cut was that what is that one up in the one in Pebble Beach now it s in. Ireland oh that one 0 on on right now I think of the one in Paris where the where they train the ruin the golf course before the cars get there in August Yeah they don t say the cars are and anyway this one made the cut yeah and some of the golfers didn t absolutely you know maybe not as easy to find a dealership because they might have a lot of them interesting Volkswagen news this week along from the topic of folks wagon they made an announcement or it was revealed that after $21000.00 no more v.w. If they should wakens in the u.s. And here to raise their wagons You could of course get the golf sport wagon or the all track which is the all wheel drive with a little bit of a a lift to it and kind of S.U.V.s sort of look as Vokes wagon you know sort of reinvent themselves and are going toward more electrified platforms and people are buying their S.U.V.s like the Take want to be at us like crazy they just aren t selling as many wagons and so $21000.00 is the last year for what we would call conventional station wagons that are not S.U.V.s for Volkswagen in the u.s. And so interesting over the years the cry of pseudo car enthusiastic or maybe they are car why can t we get that here well if they only assent to wagon would buy or they d sell like hotcakes what about this hatchback Oh yes has banks another Sure good example I d buy one of those well you don t that s and problem and yeah I really don t and it s interesting over the years what a lack of support those vocal comments. Come to fruition Well you know funny you mention that because I had put the picture of the whole track on the Instagram a few days ago when this was announced and one of the people who we follow each other she just wrote a quick effect I think she owns one she wrote jerks and so then my career platter was do you mean folks like you know the people who didn t buy them and she wrote both some Ok so yeah I might my favorite example of that was you know Acura brought over the t.s.a. X. Wagon which was sold in Europe with the Accord what a slick little wagon it was about you know fully loaded like $35000.00 and it was just a great shape in a wagon and the last year that they sold in here which I think was 2015 in the whole us they sold 2000 of them for the whole country meanwhile they sold 300000 hard to see r.v. He s so that shows you how they re good example is an uncertain obscure car now it s gone for a long while but sobs if we could only get that European version of the and the hatchback comes here yeah and ends up so lacking way down it isn t even here yet white elephant for Hire a has tried hatchback How about How about the current tour x. That we both love that regal tour x. I think I ve seen in the last 2 months I have seen 3 of them on the road you know you d know all the owners so I have personally watched it s a small club so that s looks like it s plan if you were kind of on the fence and you re one of those people who well buy one when they re used and I can get a deal on what you might not be able to as I think the people that have them going to hang on to them so if they do if you want one you might want to start looking now because 21000 model year even though we re only halfway or so through the calendar year that s 1000 model year is going to expire pretty soon so if you want either a golf sport wagon or the folks wagon I think it s called the Gulf all track wagon which is got the 4 Motion all wheel drive in a little bit of a race stance you might want to get one soon because there aren t going to be any for the 2020 model year there you go but as we have pointed out. There will be d.h. In some cars that s right for a long time since his generation just or so the next time you hear certain things are never going to happen. Maybe they will well and the other thing is to rethink mid engine curve it never going to happen it will be too expensive it will be too exotic it will be priced away from his a target by around 10 up early you know about this over 100000 yeah we be able to get one that there will be versions of there was the 06 or whatever. But wow yeah I m with sex I know I talk to Martin Royce afterwards I said that was a true Mike drop moment for you on stage and he said I m wearing a lapel mike but if I had a handheld microphone I would have dropped the place erupted in applause when he said that you know well the it was interesting how that started because Mark said well we haven t announced pricing yet and and there are. And they said well we but I claim to tell you there was Iran tell you where it s going to start it will be priced under 50 under $60000.00 and then the place just erupted and Mark Royce a very good guy he really was destined to be the president of General Motors all I would say 3 or 4 presidents ago a bully as he kept getting passed over Corvette guy engineer Corvette owner he owns multiple Corvettes of his own so it proud moment for him hey a problem for us is when we get to hear Rhapsody in black with Bill Gardner which is coming up next so be sure to stay tuned for that and Ricky in Master Control thank you for your help as usual and.

Yesterday it was all about the density of users some of the big names in comedy and today it s all about the legends in the music scene so you ll hear from Attorney had lately I would say keep that free from by. The Buzzcocks Steve Diggle and the one and only Johnny Rock. Will count Johnson the guitarists don t feel good about on a farewell tour after being Tell me how he had months to live by some miracle he actually survived and he was raring to get out of the Navy right last spring before the gig I talked to him about his remarkable story. Told me about pancreatic cancer and had 10 months to live and I felt. Really calm I went. And he explained to me that he was explaining to me a few things about it he said that they will we can operate on this there is nothing we can they I had this tumor in my stomach and it was growing and growing and there was nothing they could do so there was a you know they they said that they could give me chemotherapy but it wouldn t kill me and it wouldn t stop and so I was a little so that was quite easy to set up but I doubt on that I thought would ever go if I got 10 months to live I mean I still will know this thing was growing he just bump on my stomach I thought I m just going to a good time for as long as I can you know so I did that sense of calm come from to think will cope you know I did I mean it really was an all expense. In fact so I. After the meeting I will tell the hospital and won t live quite near the hospital one remember I remember it was a very very beautiful DI It was a winter s die. Very lovely blue scar and I member look in the trees against the scar and thinking. It s beautiful I just suddenly felt this rush of how beautiful. It was. By the trauma got home I was almost extatic I was walking around thinking. I just felt so good it carried on so be one of them one at one of the best certainly one of the most intense Wow you supply laws Wow that is and did it did it change how you felt by the people in your life the other people around you the one true love friends all that you suddenly found just so but actually cut off from everything else you do feel fearless are you different I mean the thing is I mean mountain there are most people there are all your friends everyone you know people use in the street they re all walking along concerned with every day things there that are all going to die but I don t know when I think sometime in the future but for you know it s somewhere down in I don t know you just walk along in this special phone but as a silo idea I had a fantastic year. Unlawful it now I did a farewell tour remember I remember seeing you on television I remember you don t look it was funny that kind of year it s. Coming back and. Coming. And going to turn into Franks and. Good for now I went round up I played the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan and it is a fantastic feeling I mean doing site things out at festivals and everybody knows you know it was it was in the newspapers and everything but this thing that I had I had a terminal cancer and Phailin. On the star huge between yourself and the oldie and the policies beyond repair so there you are that moment standing on stage and there is everybody looking at you know that you re kind of thinking well this is a this is want. This is a strange sensation to be to actually sharing this with with an audience out there it would come to see because they knew what you situation most. And it was all out there in the open that must mean some comfort to you when it was a sign it was an absolute cake time and I got some of the best cakes I ve ever had you know just so I did some gigs in in Japan you know I ve always been popular and well there. I mean there were just not only is it they were all holding up signs messages Foma you know you hear so looking across this kind of Japanese funny says oh into his mom and Man him I felt growl you know what I want at the moment that you got the green light and you were told that you were going to be OK Well the thing is when when you re. Given a diagnosis it happens in a moment and you sit in there and the doctor says the thing it takes about 2 seconds to CYA and suddenly the universe challenges now on the other end of coast it s not quite so quick I mean then. By a series of fortunate coincidences I ended up at had I m Brooks hospital in time bridge and saw the doctors there but then this tumour was absolutely huge it was going to you know it was it was the saw as of a melon apparently. Signed Yes You know no upper year of expecting to suddenly to be told that. You know going to die we think we can so I view is that. That s a strange thing to get a head round as well and then of course when I went in for it this operation it was it was an 11 hour operation they had never done such an operation before it was quite a bit of a groundbreaking thing. From that. To matter where you have how you felt what was going through your head when he lined their waking up will is remember. Is a very it was in a it was a 9. Time is an aquatic small walled. Member listening to listening to the nurses chatting quietly and listening to them and there they all had different regional accents and they re just just listening to these accents and learning thinking look like oh I was some things in my life you know. Yeah because I was going to the say You know Johnson legend and you did mention him a moment ago the past is beyond repair so it does suggest that you did live something of a rock N roll lifestyle. There are those there are things I would wouldn t say on daytime radio. That was a close one wasn t that Wilco Johnson speaking to me a while back and yes I love the fact that the past is beyond repair so I d add to that build something new so this is the best of bomb free and we re looking at your favorite musical guests of last year that producer Sam day and I have had the pleasure of working with the remarkable story Wilco Johnson then I let s turn to last autumn where I had a chat with this man. He a special showbiz guy gotta tell you it s. Shirley Bassey 70th birthday party and she had it Clifton and and we arrived and the everyone was assembled and she door and we d miss the 1st walk down with these 2 buffed guys in gold shorts or whatever and she wasn t happy with the lighting so she made everybody reassemble to regroup again in the hallway of Clifton home. Can she tore a strip or 2 off of a lighting designer so I don t have to want to point any fingers but did you come across much of much of this in your A professional life than people who pull the diva card every now and tell if they re not going to write from a mate that s an arm off as well you see the things what you re about to say you re about 7 foot tall and you re arguing Yeah you know what I did I d never go into that kind of thing I mean I don t mind you know people come up to me and say How can I have a selfie can have an autograph and I know there s some other artists that you know don t like it but I kind of thought why did you get into the music business yes that s kind of all part of it now and you know especially I ve even heard of awful things where you know young kids will come up and and someone will say 9 are not sign anything today and it s like oh my it s a young kid that could have a massive effect on their you know life for the hero so as the autograph football room whoever it might be here there remember it forever if you don t but I mean to me I think most people are pretty cool. Not seeing too much of it but. I m pretty approachable I could say was life like for you these days it s a you know you re a busy man and you bonkers mad is mad yeah it s good i mean i finally you know I got sick sick to death of me still talking about making the album finished it. And I m getting a brilliant feedback of the fans because I m sensible I really I want to know what you think What s your favorite song what you overall kind of perception of the album and stuff and it s been really amazing so touch wood and long might live here because I suppose one of the issues that have been in the music business for a certain number of years sometimes people don t let you walk away from what you ve done in the past and they you know and that s a bit tough to break through and do new stuff and let s say you ve actually you ve actually broken through that now what are you trying to I mean you know that there is a legacy I mean you know whether whether you like it or not and I like actually that you know classic songs like true gold through the barricades I mean really lifeline I mean people say because of I suppose my resignation from the band are you still are out sing those songs do you sing them live yes I am and yes they do I ve seen artists that go on stage and perform their hits and it s absolute musical suicide people because they re little time signatures for people s lives and also I still get a kick out of singing my never get bored of singing true barricade gold or whatever I mean go it s great fun because you just like yeah go all night but the great thing is you know did a festival last weekend and some love and there s everyone sing along tonight along saw some of the results well that s not exactly that s a really nice fit and I m getting a really good reaction from people who are country and radio as well and so yeah it s all good I mean the people that are looking after us to talking about 456 singles off this album so yeah our by that month some people do get stuck in a time warp when it comes to music that when they were out they were embrace anything new that sometimes an issue with dare I say the older listener Yeah I think you ve got to be open about it I mean my mother and father in law actually put Elba and they text me say really love it really and I didn t think they would because it s pretty kind of yeah it s. Really there source stuff but I said wow really like I think the 1st thing is you ve got to have a good song you ve got a good song and then after that it s about production and arrangements so yeah like I m getting good feedback so that s that s a sort of because you know it will be there s only about a year s difference at all right so we grew up with that with the same music did yeah did have a huge impact on you are we going to some turn 3 or 4 and start appreciate music around it can you remember all those songs coming through when I was a clear when you re a kid yeah yeah I mean my 1st 1st single that my mom and dad bought me because I used to jump around it was My Boy Lollipop. And funny enough I mean being a kind of scar record that it was you know a great record I love it to this day when I was 11 I saved up enough pocket money to buy my 1st ever single with my money and I am to be David Ensor Coleen s a double barrel remember that yes I know you re back but the over. The share go so go to did you did so I ve always kind of I like that kind of stuff like kind of Scarborough I ve been I still like the reggae chartbusters albums that used to come out with yeah a compilation of all the Trojan stuff well you know I used to go to church records which is it had a shop just off topical road the pop there and there were some cracking stuff actually but I m quite lucky that my musical tastes are quite diverse I mean I love on Maiden Queens Of The Stone Age And and I like you know chain smokers and Zora Lawson and stuff like that so it s quite diverse and you enjoy Nichols and you of course I do actually genuinely direct about I think they re fantastic and will be really be tied to abide by spoke to were to Joe Johnson from driving around OK Yeah Dad I was saying to him did your family understand the magnitude of your success back in the day when it was all happening in the 1980 S. And he said no to all that you did you did your family understand just how massive a star when the boys were on. I don t I don t think so and I don t actually think I ever did either because I ve always like you know my friends from from the day are still the friends that I have today you know and you know I go in the pub like everybody else or your i turn you know and you know I ve I ve a good relationship with my family with my band and a very honest relationship and I think it s always good to have that I mean you know listen it was a dream that became a reality and I m still here living the dream and it s but it s real I m like a kid in a sweet shop again and there goes Honey HADLEY You see Stephen Barbee friend of the star B.B.C. Radio north you re listening to the best of them for you on the afternoon show looking back at the best moments from 2018 today some star interviews from the world of music one artist who was particularly interesting was this man. Yes Leo is a. Big huge it s a huge amount of money he made his appearance at the festival last summer I spoke to him 2 on his appearance just had my 70th birthday. But I m sitting younger than ever I had I had a kind of complication with my heart so I had 3 stents or at least the cardiologist did but I tell you what I m feeling as good as ever and younger every moment so no problems at all I m working like mad in Australia and we re doing a lot of festivals as well as the whole festival doing a lot of festivals here and a lot of and so it s wonderful I listen back earlier on today to where the last time we chatted and I d forgotten the fact that your 1st hit was on 4 wheels a taxi run you know we didn t it that s right one man band yeah yeah one of the 1st hits but I yeah I was running over growth Well you know it kind of. Obvious Well proposed. When I picked myself up off the pipe when the cab driver just showed off your I might as he was driving not. Typical No this is my luck this is back in the late sixties and I remember writing down in a paired you know of paper a little book of calorie counting around and I wrote a one man band nobody knows who I am just understands Is there anyone out there going to lend a hand of course the 1st verse was what happened you know you got to keep ever was and you see you know when you cross that bridge growth yes you know taxi cab runs you get the whole story it was in there so I wrote it all down at the time and I didn t realize it was about 6 years or so later I m sitting there with David caught in my 1st co-writer in 1971 or 72 and and he plays a melody and I m just saying I ve got worse. And there came a song and another so no I don t know look he recorded it 1st there was a nice yeah Gil and there was there was given it all away that Roger Daltry did and you wrote that drive your you record to songs on his 1st album and and me and David wrote a lot of the songs on that record and that s how people got to know me 1st I suppose as the song writer for Roger Daltry and you did you know what that song give it away given away is one of those songs that really gets to me really I can feel are listening to a really catch you what was what was behind the lyrics to that then what was what was the the school. The frustration of a young singer songwriter wanting to make it and his manager Adam Fay saying well now you re not ready yet you need to go do some more shows we won t get into the studio yet now we re not ready and I was going. I was training at the bit so the whole song was about the frustration you know it was just a ploy given it all away and you know I m not going to get fooled again as it were very very much like the who you know I thought I was determined and I suppose I wrote that song angry and it came over very powerful and deafening when Roger heard East. Michael that s a hell of a statement I d love to sing that so we said yes do it go for it you know and gave him the song so what would your relationship with without him face like there was it was a bit rocky or did it go smoothly What was I like Topsy Turvy I mean sometimes it was brilliant because in the early days he was so charismatic and powerful he could open doors that nobody else for me that nobody else could open you know I mean there was that classic time when we went up to the good old B.B.C. The I think it was the alan Freeman s show on Radio one we go up to the door I m thinking what are we doing here this is embarrassing and he just spoke to the dorm and said Koch. We went straight up with the Live on at the Alan Freeman show you couldn t imagine yesterday and he said Look at that rubbish off the air play this record it s going to be. And has the kind of door opening that he could do and that moment when suddenly you know you were you were huge Was it here was it was an explosion suddenly there you were everyone was you know night and it s like being teleported it s into all of a sudden you re sort of you know on the stage at top of the Pops or maybe doing you know as I was doing support kicks with Roxy Music and and you know 10000 people are looking at you and you know week before you were kind of queuing for sandwiches and trying to think that way should you pack this all in and go back to get in the job you know go back to the labor exchange and like Top Of The Pops and appearing on Top Of The Pops I mean you told my 1450000000 people sitting down to what Yeah absolutely I did that feel it s really even a nervous oh it was incredible you know I don t we got time to you know I mean most of the early part of my career everything sort of went. In a flash you know there was no time to think about it but unfortunately I suppose at the same time there s you know when your contract is shoved under your nose and you ve got to sign it you don t think of the repercussions of that so in a way with Adams I mean Adam was fantastic in the early. My career and we were very close the way we worked together with David Courtney as well but as time went on you suddenly realize what you ve signed is going to work against you and Adam s going to be very rich and you re not you know that s that s but that s how life is I don t mind because you know the journey up there was just fantastic and great to experience I mean are you going to say no now even if you going to go so what would you have done with your life had to not have begun the music business that well I was I was a graphic designer and I did fairly well in that trade and I did record covers for pop alley and people all of the Island Records artists so I wasn t doing it badly but I I had an ambition to be a little bit more I suppose I was driven really thinking I sound silly to say it but I mean you know if you talk to a Young took to Madonna a song like that when they were young they would have been exactly the same I thought I wanted to be more important in my life and I realized that I had the ability to charm people and to to be a success at something it that if I m if I worked hard enough so yeah I mean I suppose I wanted to be famous so the best one for 2018 there goes you ve already heard Tony Hadley on the program still to come and go to Steve Diggle from the Buzzcocks Johnny larger from the Sex Pistols and Keith Duffy will be on the show very soon next so we were just on the road if you love the kinds of stories you hear here you ll love multi-story new podcast from B.B.C. Local radio a dog a dog poet my Could be but this could be I could be here to cheer me up and you just have a chance because everyone you have and.

But turning back time will last is brilliant interviews with famous musicians and sing is the almost certainly recognize this. Yes Keith up a was a Tory me you can say with their Westlife star Broncos sad it in a special boy band a match up boys life and one of the stops was the L.C.R. At the University of East. Least the minority has a plan that says postpone to it like this this is this is what you have to tell me I had a great day Sunday week myself and the lesson boys all before I m done in Hyde Park in London and then 25 years later they still know the words are songs I did there was a great day it s very scary when you mention things like 25 years I know money is out and I mean Ronan had the song the age that my son was when I started in Boy s Own Life still in the age I was when I started in voice so I got you know I was too tired wrote it as a one year old and I ve tried to tear your old it s really weird mine is really weird and I know I was sort of speaking to Tony for me 70 you know a while ago when he was telling me about some of the scary moments he had with the lack of security when he was before me on studies do you boys must have had some pretty yeah hair raising my moves he sounds Yeah of course they were looking at you know up man they ve been they ve been our nice favor that go there our show don t beat us so if they want to give us a whole go to kiss they re not going to hurt us so you know if one of them manages to get past security and off the stage I don t get terrified I just give them a big I m going to get it that s fine but you don t ask me about it in the past when the stage was rushed to give us a minute if you scare you but I mean. Yeah there was one gig it was actually a corporate event that myself and Brian were doing in the Dorchester and I think it was about 600 people in the room and they were all hairdressers. We were like we did like 6 or 8 songs that kind of member what it was it was like a hairdresser the award ceremony in the Dorchester So it was like 600 hairdressers all dolled up didn t I And we went out on like a cow walk style kind of stage nobody expected these ladies to kind of leave the stage but there was no security to stop them so I saw the videos back because I can t really remember what the video is back misshapen boy and I literally kind of like in a ruby kind holdall 50 women each trying to sing songs I have to say it was. The worst performance a ever gave. Did see a lot of 6 or 7 of them hold you down and somebody else primed Yeah exactly I always I always suited the frame Ted I like to curl you know so I would rather rely between you 2 pounds than 25 years ago well you see there wasn t anybody because boys always started in 93 and then we kind of weirder strikes placed plain and in so many is fine and then we went to the local disco or Nyquil of and then we ended up in kind of city hall state or all those and then ultimately we ended up doing arenas and the stadium and Westlife came along 5 years later in 98 they came from the same stables of boys only Welsh. We basically put them on a support act the boys don t so they were at the start of their career we were kind of at the end of a career and they were opening act we broke up 2 years later and they went on to be phenomenally successful so there was never really any really ever between us you know they broke up and we got back together. We ve always just kind of missed each other to be fair what s the biggest number of people you ve performed in front of ever I think it s a better 125000 go back way back probably about 20 years ago we don t have big gig in Hyde Park and I believe at the time does about 125000 people out of. It we could only get in modern that with Pavarotti and Friends a few years ago and that was over 100000 as well so I think the most is about 125000 does that mean that Keith you ve got news of steel when it comes to crowds. Well it s funny you should ask me that because we played Hyde Park on Sunday just gone on I believe the audience was in and around 50000. For the last some boys and we ve just finished the end Southeast Asia tour where we were playing most nights to around 6 to 12000 people in the late and I was very confident very killed 25 years experience rocking out on stage enjoying every moment oh no you park stage there on Sunday I m not going to lie to you I looked at the audience and for a few minutes before we were due to get on I m in the band started the 1st song I you know I do a lot more our lead vocals with Ronan now than I ever did before so you know there s a lot more concentration needed to do a lead and then kind of just him back and vocals so I was a bit nervous and I kind of felt a bit nervous I watched it back and maybe you wouldn t notice unless you know me but I could see myself on stage looking a little bit nervous and actually my vocals were a little bit shaky I was actually it actually seeped into my vocals which I wasn t happy about but yeah so the answer is yes sometimes I m going to the nearest to get all the me you know what I believe if you never get nervous Well then you re not a true performer you know to get nervous means that you don t take it for granted it means that you still care you know it s easy to walk out on stage and I don t care you know to go on stage and still care to give a great performance a kink that s what gives you the nerves and channel the nerves into excitement on adrenaline and you give a better performance Unfortunately that s not what I managed to do on Sunday without a little choice in doing the future I m going to funny for you probably away with that but what about life on the street watching you so back on television or Coronation Street never did it never did it really you know. They would make the like it don t like it if if there was anything I was worried about. If there s any performance I was particularly worried about my probably watching Fox just to see how I could get better for the next one but in general if I was caught but I don t have enough of my performance I never watch if I know Keith Duffy shy or. Tuffy an absolute straight talking. Head to someplace on B.B.C. Radio and he s the best man for today I will be back at the best musicians who come on the show in trying to save my favorite interviews and when I was a bit nervous back with John live. As Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols I said I stayed like here a B.B.C. Radio for 2 to 5 years that is how you began by asking what it was like you cross the. Line. To anyone else. Terribly and excising Well now we re in politics you take on Donald Trump it s not politics here is your role as a short way told me not asking for that would be I would look awkward but. Is it time to do to come back to the U.K. Or do you think in a worse state than maybe I made a twice a year. Or less study where I m kind of an American citizen because I believe there s a lot so I should tell you but which at the time Lou Obama I thought I was quite out there because I m a believer in a national health system and a date so I. Paid a very very old false flag if there was a national. Likelihood coming together in America placed me and I wanted just a call and he wouldn t have been one to shy away from stirring up the assembled masses when you performing on stage has ever really kicked off badly in the past have the audiences will never turn ugly or. Should it always go to be what I. Just did I sure do based became really taking a jury trial actually calling any part of. Eli s Cyclery is a high hill all creaky old all Schenectady in GA And so when that happens you have to stop and tell them just keep me I am the man in the lead to come back so no managing it says the excitement sometimes I get carried away with who complained and I was always speaking to the from the Buzzcocks last week and I was asking about the whole spitting thing is that still going on today not as long ago maybe still going on for then post subject. Ice I just take the. Book just say please stop that I should imagine with all the speed of you you must be immune to pretty much every disease on earth I remember Joe Strummer said he. Was a summit when those from it advertised. In your Iranian mouth and then a gal you call a contagious illness followed him for the rest of his size still paints down in a just fell down like so they were a coating wholesalers punk behavior that you say because it allowed them to call a soul down the night had to be ignorant moron jackals punk never was a half inch out Clyde that because a lot of fans who came off Josh didn t have to call the Saints to see the light at the end of the tunnel as well where in this world for Sue Mikey the pet supplies none of us why did you have a square up to any of the critics the south face to face full of play all the time my words I m a bully it s never because they obviously thought you because scary man I did have that habit is now. What you learned it was no it was Blake was never based on Violet s me to this article to believe in and never taken. Accusations of. So brand new music brand new album on the way and new you touring again movie like on the road for you these days it compared to what I m out of in like 3040 years ago it s just a sign ha skulk of any a nightclub or any T. H. They can only use to notice I live in town but I still get study tried before I go on stage but I ve learned that that s an important build up for the kernel of the new politic that I could make you feel quite sick oh god so all night to. The dressing room and there I I like about I could train. You surprise me in the mirror you d be than enough men on earth I would expect to be nervous about going on stage. Did no one saw them know that they were tops terrible breakers is that from their claim a few towns I m using you found by suit the moment because I was there back in 19767778 he s out there he s coming to see these days well tested and this is what you want every night names addresses telephone numbers as well as all these types it tends to be all across the pole it s all ages old right to groups old political beliefs old trial structure and a variety in between cos of all the bases telling us that. We re painting to all of them not just a little not really we re looking forward to getting you back here in No for when I need to back to the same city all rapes and so. We spend going to do I didn t know you lived here in New fuck most banks and of CA in the holiday camp when it was closed down in the winter has the workers of their own rigs were to start all the tires all those Hell encounter. I have challenged the. Stay great affection that a child or a area. Feels like its own to May well come back a movie didn t come back. Complaining that Alan Partridge here last Very true but you could always use my spare room until he saw you so if I was on where I live I ll study island and can you imagine me so I can move back to New phonies laughed in the face. Tone John Lodge in that naked and free I m not sure that he did get dressed for the interview for B.B.C. Radio Norfolk Yes it is the best of Buffy looking back at some of the best infused with famous musicians and singers from last year and from one punk band to another Steve Diggle for the but. The band are backing off again to play at the L. C. This interview was before the death of bandmates Pete Shelley had a suspected heart attack in the south and lost by both casting friend Richard Pierce and I spoke Steven family and I says another story about spacing if you can stand in particular really I mean just you know at the time when you did some lively music landscape was barren so we thought. Well think about what we want to sing about you don t think all these years for years like 2 years if he is Ryssdal You know so what s it like to have written the classic They still do Shakespeare to me and he sold it or not so. He can tell me what it feels like. When you re made records like postcards no internet or email and shit like that but . Of mouth was fascinating Mela think the people seem to know you are doing so will make the show you know quick exciting records resolder time and time they have become timeless I mean it amazes me that still sound I do this kind of made last week mainly because it was kind of recorded like that if you open that sink I mean this in a good way had a little bit of rough edge to it and that s what people absolutely want to do their thing saw the side overproduced was in it but that s right you know I mean it it hasn t really so much I mean to tell you the real burnt out and real so well yeah I mean because not real thing I listen to call on new music and there s these people who say I would like reinventing punk cannot say tomorrow sorry boys you know because the vocally so smooth but it sounds like you got a producer in his whole troop. You know but that was it buddy at 8 you know all the technology came in and the jokes in the studio will be all right make sure we can put the same approach on it and you know. We didn t do a lot of nice just don t know Mike s on the on the get cells and drums and vocals and away you go you know earlier on in this problem or we were listening to Wilco Johnson from Dr Feel Good talking about that that feeling you get when you go up on stage what was it like fear because you skipped it lively and used the term roughing it rough around the edges. And punk digs in it yeah now may not like that I mean no might become So you know now they have security everywhere if somebody says you know they re your home but they just let you know for a bit of steam going crazy reaction should image it really you know so do you get a lot since you always said it s important to come alive in life and we only do it and then the rest of the time a kind of sleep well you know you do you get a lawyer was coming to gigs that bow Yeah I mean I know it was that Democratic demographic thing years ago where. You know they said well when you guest certain age just when we get like 40. Year olds range you just 60 year olds you don t do uni music universally. One thing you re trying to pigeonhole people you know it s like people still discover the baby who s now and all the rest of it and we do get a lot young kitchen as hell and you know we spent about 3 generations so that s brilliant have the audience to stop spitting these days or do they still go yes they only did that come to town and so it was nice to say save it for the down they ll be and happy that. I made a career out of it you know I remember going to a 999 concert when they had emergency in the charts and I d bruised jeans and T. Shirt and I really wished other warmer could google. The fairly well yes I mean it was a couple of moments I was doing it back involved on something else that makes the came and I couldn t just. Leave I m not coming but I mean you know and then if it s not the time you know I slipped up to do a good challenge solo and it was like stick how much I want to violin playing. Green sludge. But I don t I m just well Senator McCain So I m back and remember I thought I m. Still you know prime time to central grow up is. Going to get the good showing you know something. That kind of stops you know how would things go so looking back it was all good for the poet when you re really young and you know if it made it all make shine you know and one by one we d be played quite regularly on this program because we had to rewind with a feature to one foot in the groove so we re we re always playing you guys I love you more that is that one minute 47 seconds some 10 Yeah I play that have cocked up my timing so I m sure you never talking time is what Mr boundaries I mean and. So you want to relax we said what we re trying to say and like you know it s time I still thought. I think it just felt weird like it does you know I just. I mean when you come to learn you know you can. Boast about something you can just you know do it in a short space of songs you know just well. We kind of want to finish even when you may want to be sure. More people are thinking I m glad I did speculated she had been called and I think it was like supporters back in about 77 and they did me in Rhapsody in about half a minute. I don t really know how they re going to. Get Steve to go from the talking to me and say hello broadcaster rich Pierce he s a regular on this program so there you have it very very namely that for the best for this week you had some of the best bits of my $28.00 including of the classic our sexuality and gender make the comedians which I love the musicians which religion. Should to have a jam packed $29.00 Same with more features than in fees and banging the $1.00 foot in the group which is even though I say so myself is sounding a little bit special. Next week about something wonderful and not being produced the same way of talking drumming at a mechanical circus is the same. The fans from the sixty s the searches and learning to be a knight in shining armor I ll leave you with a look back at Alba should not make it in the same produce sound I got up to today s show last year from Sonora trysts from yoga to introducing sanctions from feel nostalgic to. Say we ve had it all actually. To the 6 of. The 6 until holding up to the mark of 5 but. 3. At the end. Pianist already. And I was interested in photographing girls in subcultures because in 1981 there was very much a male bias towards subcultures with a female McCartney the 1st time I interviewed him though I got that incredible script 61 hour sessions with Paul 3 in New York 3 in London that was the beginning of an incredible relationship where I became a Person interviewed him the most for about 10 years other guests at a casualty and all of the can even you had mentioned that it was quite ready stay said thank you for your really great 23 years later my agent the baby apparently called lovely You can read a few scenes of a 3 or 4 season of filming some a 2 weeks later yeah I ve always really been annoyed by the band s project an air of not enjoying themselves and I find out if it s such a struggle my worry about it this room is full of people who would give their kidneys to be up on that stage. Me go to they saw dish and saw McCown might say something nice about us and we can printed on our little posters put it around college and have a few more people come know if we ever imagine that we don t come 2nd on the show and it would ignite a career the show really is I think what it sort of meanders toward is an appeal to enjoy intelligent vigorous free speech conversation dialogue that tragically missing in public life now and just didn t in Live Journal cause the World Cup got stolen in 66 was it was on exhibit and then it was it was found by Pickles the dog I love will camp as you know who is Shakespeare s comedian he created bottom fall stuff and don t even know one of the changes that he brought to that that. But I don t have that. I do have to battle a thought an accent Eastern European thing where you actually from no family to learn to remember seeing Maurice Jewett s and thinking gosh I want to be just like him I want the hair I want every day. Well NASA to actually ended up really writing the whole of the script within a week just to try and fix a reading worried about being a really small cast so we had to completely bring right character bring the show at night is trying to icepacks in the in the in the best places and I I get everything off in the interval more or less and I ve got you know everywhere we can actually talk about Shrek being naked on daytime radio the.

And. I want to do is you can just going to stand on your map you can stop it from blowing a White House in a mountain highest positions you re just going to open your hands stand up now I suppose you ll relax your shell days and again you can take that nice deep breath entirely next time down close. To leaving the. Way down the line. With him to get that.

So what s happening shall see a break 1st B.B.C. Radio much. Good morning is just going up to 6 minutes past 7 is Friday the 7th of December just prepare yourself it s really White House side and extremely windy as well now as loco mentioned in the news there at 7 o clock something very exciting is happening today. It. Will be the greatest show will tickets to see the Hollywood star Hugh Jackman sitting right here in Manchester go on sale at 9 o clock this morning he is of course the star of the greatest showman which I think has made his career as an heir the film version of lame is he starts this world tour at the arena on Friday the 24th of May and we ve had a chat with him he can hear what he has to say on the show just before 8 o clock this morning and. Make sure you stay listening plays Now also as I said in the news that at 7 o clock he s been described as a true gent an amazing songwriter who wrote perfect 3 minute pop songs and the tributes full pay Shelley the lead singer of the punk band The buzz cuts keep pouring in this morning he was a music legend he was born in Laos and sadly we found out from his brother actually initially that he s died of a suspected heart attack yesterday and he was responsible for penning the band s most famous song. Was. The right song going to play it for you in full after 8 o clock this morning John Roberts comments talked to me this morning is a rock journalist from HUME Good morning good morning how important was pate would you say in the music scene here in quite a Manchester mass we are not just monstrous about worldwide I think. I mean usually Yeah there s just because you re such a brilliant melody writer woman great American Rodgers is countries have a Big East wrote the most perfect love songs that somehow bore the complexities of the confusion of love into like 20 words you know it s poetic spell to do that also massive cultural impact as well bring the Sex Pistols appear nice $76.00 the famous 2 gigs of free trade hole he put those on the catalytic gigs. Started the whole the modern munched music scene that was paid and Page are also in January $77.00 the 1st single they pull out their own single the 1st independent record you know all the indie music independent music comes from both cocks the took the joy of your division out and saw their 1st national tour there was such a key bound in all that punk composed punk scene in Manchester uninfluential can t be you could SA bounds a great guitar bands who plays who writes music who is not influenced by Paul s COX You know you can t be about somebody serious about writing great songs if you don t have those Cox record in your collection No I mean Buzzcocks and they achieved so much in their lifetime like I say didn t and I suppose people new generations of people who might not particularly know that will be liking music has been born as a result of that time to time as you have silver melodies and go through the generations. Every time in 3 bands young bands that they come up in conversation and I ll tell you what the greatest you know testament to pay is was looking down Twitter last night today not only was everybody saying you know some people you know quite difficult to meet anyone very affable guy but now everybody s saying more woman for person it was I know people always said I want people to hear but but this is actually genuine and heartfelt people are genuinely really upset because people actually joined my last page you know because not only was he one of the greatest American writers countries of abuse but also a genuinely really nice person and what was he like as a person as a funny with one of a really really our last time was about a year ago hung out to be played 1st of all Croatia was both Cox Plate as well we spent all night just just giggling and muffin interest like it was like a school trip. But also also really modest you know you could 5 interview and I say you you are response for the 2nd point. On a very hip 50 people in London and giving it to Manchester in the world although it wasn t easy you never take the credit for and I would say 1st independent record 1st this 1st insane talent your talent was so there and he was just completely baffled and quite humble. Considering what you did Chief just concerned label you know you have Yeah I m very northern You know our pay we don t blow our own trumpets do which is why one things I love about the North what has life you know the people begin to don t fit or put it who are you just very down to earth but. Comfortable of his own talents which is what the North is very good arts and yeah absolutely well what kind of a legacy do you think he leaves than anybody picks up a guitar was to write a great song listen to both cocks and there s even one song for all of you played before everybody knows that song but I would say to your listeners you. Know big but they re not shooting because should be no one on the beat was where everything was similar plowing stops and giving up then. You know it and I think it s. Because they get that a space existed which is punk but also because the mainstream media the time terrified of punk They can guess because they should have got you know so the prime melodies are as good as McCartney McCann is one of the greats. But he didn t have the successor because of the never hits in America but the end of the big one a cult level we all know about them but they should have been enormous you know and maybe this is finally here because of this tragedy of peace that is a time for everybody to reassess and listen to them so last night your listeners out there you know where for a lot of and it s a great song please go listen to the rest of the music because the 1st 3 albums there is not one pass all of those albums are all melodic gems it s just excess I mean in this sort of this kind of thing to propel them back into the charts doesn t it people start downloading rediscovering discovering like it s a song that they ve never had before yeah and I think that s the only upside of something not there s a paper actually gets the credit that they re always been Jews or something is and all that say ah yeah pretty please you listen to the music today should be a really listen lovely to talk to you thank you for sharing your kind of memories the stuff as well lovely to see this morning that s John Robert journalists from here you. See him back 1st B.B.C. Radio Majesty. But still to come on the show of course it s Friday. The 7th of December. I m going to be opening up the advent calendar door for today very very shortly and there is a prize behind the I ll tell you what it is today and then what we do at 20 past 8 . Will open the lines to a qualifying question you have until cool to see 9 to give us a call 108021 night double teachable 5 of course it s in I m the lines close and you need to keep your phone on because we ll give you a call on that just before 9 o clock to let you know if you are the winner of today s prize or not it does continue over the weekend by the way so might Shafton called the Phillips on Saturday some day they will be doing it as well they haven t calendar continues on it will be about Lex week and they will say if you don t get through the lines that busy apologize just keep calling. At some point so don t worry about the that s coming up at 25 past 7 we should say as well we ve spoken a lot on the show about the trying. Is Harry s been a fair few trains in his lifetime and you. Know just commuting on this top story because we ve kind of discovered you know people who use northern trains at the weekend. Or afraid to say can be facing more delays and cancellations because there is another round of strikes now we heard a lot about this in the summer and we ve talked about it a long way but they are empty union has said there will be will couse every Saturday until the end of the year now I was thinking most people break up or maybe a lot Friday the 21st so Saturday the 20 seconds probably like going to be like a really busy day at work and home for Christmas yeah all not as the case may be now it s an ongoing route about driver only trying and it s the kind of latest in the long list of strikes about the whole thing. That have been continued strikes since the summer that we haven t yet ongoing is a perfect word for the 30 strike ready before we get to this point right now it s been going on and on and on of guards on trains very sickly So normally you have to stop members of the northern train one. Driver and one guard and the guard does things like make sure the doors work safely checks tickets provides assistance to users like this who have disabilities for example Northern argue it s not necessary on new trains many services don t use them anymore I think around a 3rd of trains cross the country don t have guards already and you know things that the chub in the metro in in Manchester they don t have sort of guards either oxides Michael s bus conductor they seem to be OK They seem to work yeah but at the arms a union argue no no on these trains essential for safety and for things like especially for said disabled passengers need sort of the help getting on and they say you can t you can t afford you can t afford to lose them the upshot of all of this arguments is of course yet more delays and cancellations on Saturdays our reporter on the bells banalities been speaking to rail uses in Manchester to see what they make of it are just a shambles I m just dismayed people can have this inability to understand that people do need to go to work they need to get there on time and if I was in that Failing a pay raise how if the people isn t it trying to get on with the lives of trying to get supply since you know is this patient s going to run out at some point yeah I think that let it be and really sort of sums up a lot of frustrations like it was as soon as on he went over to she s like get me on the radio I want to say my piece about let me ask him because you have the resolve usually a lot of frustration obviously for the stuff that s been going on in the week with commuters but also this stuff with awakening next to slightly different things because on the 100 you got the timetable changes which have largely affected the midweek stuff yeah and then you ve got these strikes which have obviously much much more effect on the weekends how bad is it going to be a lot of it depends on how it s handled was the last round of strikes at the weekend a lot of the problems were caused by. Sort of counseling services very late so you re on the way to get your train and then you suddenly realize it s come so if they could let people know earlier that services aren t going to run they cannot live around that yes difficult balancing act because what they ve got to do is either get to this point here and they still desperately trying to put on as many services as they can it s not balance between do you tell people that a service is counseled or do you leave it a bit longer to see if they can find a way of keeping it going and in the past I would say they haven t got the balance right yes here they do this week OK well we re going to speak to the R M T union at Darren Island just after 8 o clock this morning so we ll find out exactly what his argument is and what their plans are going forward we should say by the way that Northern House described this action as damaging and they ve asked the R.M.C. To return to talks that I cast now they say that safety is the top priority they are modernizing the conductor role as part of this whole program and the going to update all of that on the services by 2020 that we know. Jabal pay cuts are reserved a result of all of this by the way but they are on the other side say that they re angry they re frustrated talks have broken down they re determined to fight on the interest of passenger safety and the Department of Transport says that the strike action by the R M C is not acceptable and they urge them to put fashion just 1st now the government supports a 2nd person on board northern trains and has guaranteed these roles for members beyond the length of the front shies you know everyone s got got got a point on this haven t they but what is the answer you know what what can stop all of this and put the passenger 1st you know we ll find out a little bit more after I thought this morning. At breakfast radio Manchester. 18 minutes past 7 it been asking you this morning do you. Get bad.

Over the Internet trying to get a ticket to see Hugh Jackman only thirst as a world full the U.K. Leg starts right here in Manchester it s on Friday the 24th of my emails I will then give them to bending them in London has left the cities but has been telling us here at the B.B.C. What to expect what is a well told from Hugh Jackman and the emphasis that question is a lot of songs from the greatest showman which he hearing right now has been talking to the B.B.C. s entertainment correspondent calling Pattison very self-indulgent call and it s my favorite song stories about me. And I mean actually that s not too far from the truth I try to. Kind of open up. Myself people may not not know about it it s called Music from things I ve been in things I ve wanted to be. That I didn t get cost in but. Then the stuff on the board. How much even something from Uncle Henry when I saw them taken . When you cast and that you once to get tested. For that one. On the movie that I wanted to be in and I kind of let that one go if you. Come to terms with it all but the other thing I love about when I get Khan said I love that feeling that things happened that night that it could only happen that night from having special guests. Guess I m about to invite say yes. I try and sort of keep it loose involved. And keep it feeling like it s happening just not for one extent has been possible to do this world because of the success of the great show. I mean I did I did do an arena tour in Australia and I have probably obviously history but it was only after the greatest showman and sort of while sort of 6. Yes it did my agents kind of say I think he s around the world now proud of that like the descendants try to but you know I think lame is very very popular too in England and luckily having worked on this show is a long time but no one expected the success of the great a shy man and we re going to sing a bunch of songs from the from the show at the concert where you even do ones that you didn t sing and we re just discussing that right now I actually saying this is maybe when I did The constitutes 4 years ago I kind of permeated the song and at the time I said I m going to sing you a song from a musical I m going to do because once the movie comes out on never be out of Sing it again so fair to say I will not be thinking this is me but I think saddle is going to come and do a whole bunch of it she s. She has a great amazed to see going to come and I think audiences that s going to be incredible because the story of her getting the pots and also her in to singing that song there is something to so special about it when you hear it live sung by her it s it s an unforgettable moment it s been such a phenomenal 21 weeks it s spent a number one of the albums charts this was your theory about why it s so popular you know there is a there s a saying in musicals that musicals work because of the book or the story that table love them because the music and from the moment I was hearing these songs it just I love them I could play them for my daughter for my mom I complained of and everybody loved them on the 1st listen to you know and that s really hard with music and we spent 7 righties writing all the songs but the music that just in the mange did is music to kind of open jihad it s unforgettable from the kind of the moment you ve heard it and I think the lyrics really speak to things that we re all feeling right now which is be true to yourself follow your own high. I mean your own little about just be yourself and dream big and you know why we usually sound like a chameleon segue but that s kind of what this show is this is actually the show This Is Who I Am This is the music I love and where you know I mean every nor the greatest moment all I mean is you probably going to see is so odd to me that you haven t seen before oh we d like to see a side of you that we ve never seen before tickets go on sale at 9 o clock this morning make sure you don t miss our next it. Makes sense to break simply B.B.C. Radio Manchester. And direct it not just Rex it. Will need a bit of help she needs more than most Well it s been a busy week hasn t it in the world of Bracks a plane you will for an award in our Chelsea awards which are coming in a couple of weeks full the most the person said the word black that the most you will not will it is male. Clips and where we are seeing now so we thought days away from the big vote in parliament that would decide whether or not we take to resume a deal she needs some help from somewhere because the support just isn t there at the moment from her M.P. s So the late labor have said they re going to oppose it more than $100.00 conservatives have said they won t support it either and the moments you looking at sort of not just being a defeat but just by how much is it going to be I mean if we just look specifically here we ve got 27 M.P. s I know that 16 are definitely voting against tape more probably voted against her and 4 we re not really sure of including a couple of the conservatives I mean you d expect most of the M.P. s here to vote against because most of them a labor Yes. William rod from Hazelgrove he tweeted last night that he wouldn t support it the Labor M.P. Lisa Nandi said she wouldn t support it and there ones that you think would be be on the fence and trees they would have been hoping to get so it s not looking good . There was chair of the deal of the vote being delayed but I ve seen the papers today she s saying that she s not going to do that so does she have any chance of winning and on Tuesday well she needs something drastic to change over the next few days as it stands the problem she s got she s making 2 arguments to 2 different sets of people so towards the people he wants a softer Bragg s or remain she saying if you don t vote for this you risk no deal for the heartbreak that is you want no deal he says if you don t vote for this you risk goes remaining Yes but the problem is the people here both arguments what people are hearing is remain is a hearing if you don t vote for this we might end up staying and leave is a hearing well if you don t vote for this we might get no deal Yeah so basically get the get the opposite side of the argument YANG So that s the problem she s got and if we need some sort of big movement over the weekend if you re going to go that way well what drastic thing can she do you know group rituals and sound I mean it breaks the Cotswolds that you have going to pull must screening of it s a wonderful line item Christmas present and I mean seriously it is she s offering some more concessions on basically we were talking before the backstop basically after a couple of years of negotiations for the final deal if we don t get it the a lot of the argument is the Ryan would go into this sort of backstop area which would make it harder to leave she s saying Oh well maybe we ll give M.P. s a vote before that happens that s one sort of thing she s technical thing she s trying to do to get more support it s not been particularly warm Yeah I expect to be holding more meetings over the weekend with M.P. s trying to get them on board whip s office the people who are employed to help her get votes through will be working overtime as well there s this talk as you say is delaying the vote if that doesn t work is still a possibility although she s she ruled that out so that they stay off is going to be a massive ask and at the moment as I say all the talk is more about big that if he is going to be rather than Is she going to win you re not going to have a restful we cannot be on call the whole time like case of the thing happens yeah yeah I ll have a have the radio on listening you know just to just keep mayor to the ground. And I ll also be bothering him buggering all our M.P. s are trying to find out which records all this going to happen OK I will reconvene on Monday we will discuss what happens thank you.

Radio London Duncan fox in the midnight hour B.B.C. Radio London thank you for choosing Austin I wherever you might be in this great big city of ours good to know you found London s original radio station I m Duncan I m here Sunday through Thursday every night from 10 pm What are we talking about while the viewer heard the news early on we played Buzzcocks track a live recording of ever falling in love you could you feel the energy coming through the radio the news you heard that the front man of the Buzzcocks Pete Shelley has died aged 63 and I m minded just to mention if you ve ever seen the Buzzcocks live never met Pete Shelley to give us a call tonight because from time to time ever I ask these questions about maybe people who have passed away we get some cracking calls and some inside they really when they expect so anything Pete Shelley related do get on the phone elsewhere 20 feet 20 mph speed limits in a city of ours in London do they really make the road safer and Should councils in for speed limits instead of the Met police that is what s being suggested and discussed as we speak the idea that the Met do not have the time or the resources and as a result maybe local councils should enforce speed limits particular these 20 mile per hour limits I don t know you know I drive all over the city of Oz and some bars have the 20 limit others don t are they effective Do they work. Is it too early to say that people are here to the 20 limits 080731 the 2000 many calls tonight about the disruption to the road to network you heard about it on the news there 25000000 owed to customers and they also provide services for the sky Tesco gift gaff and the like a mobile networks who combined have another 7000000 users and tonight we re getting suppose a mixed picture some of you are able to use your O 2 phone to make calls and send and receive text messages or no I am some of you there not being able to make phone calls others have told us not been able to access data services as negatively impacted on them today and I want to find out more from you Can anyone help me out I ve got I ve gone though to phone and it s call is gone while call B.B.C.

And the wider the why the chatter around this tonight is whether or not life was simpler when there wasn t so much technology because I ve been so struck today with the people I ve spoken to who are seen on the telly I ve heard on the radio who are so reliant on technology Well just to get work through various apps drivers being a notable example I suspect there are quite a few laughing black cab drivers in our city tonight but also I ve heard people complain that they are worried about getting lost going home for work because they didn t know why and normally they got on their phone and I can imagine that mindset can you do you would let yourself be so reliant on a bit of technology that you don t know how to move around London without a particularly a journey that you re doing on a daily basis I had someone saying or use the street maps to walk around town thinking really really we become too reliant on the tech over 807312000 what do you eat at Christmas that is not traditional not traditional as restaurants across the city are doing some interesting things on the menu my favorite one is mince pie naan bread. An Indian restaurant somewhere. Whether putting dried fruits and nuts and spices in the in the flat bread and the calling of the means by non brother pretty much does the job the winner so far is always you go on always disappeared off my screen Barton Basil then who works on Christmas Day and he takes to work a chicken curry pork noodle What do you eat a Christmas that is not traditional All of that going on call text or e-mail be part of London s late night radio phone in and also get involved in our song choice tonight cover songs with a connection you get a blast of each you need to let us your or let us know your preference out there too and the one with the most support gets played in its entirety at the end of this hour now there s a reason for tonight s song choice it is all to do with the devil the devil and before you start sending us messages saying it s irresponsible then why are you promoting the devil we are not promoting the devil it s all to do with yesterday being the 50th anniversary of the release of the Rolling Stones hit sympathy for the Devil or I although I don t want to come back into work on Sunday I have emails saying very irresponsible talking about the devil is a good reason for this Rolling Stone said Sympathy For The Devil released yesterday 50 years ago so with that in mind 2 songs with the word devil in the title including the stones here you got a clip of each and you need to let us know your preference is number one.

Radio London Nigel Good morning good morning I m not the biggest ever you go to number 2 number to thank you. On the border with Iraq on the boat he everyone in technology I wouldn t say I m a slave to it but it s particularly important in Milan that work in the ninety s only had 3 phones in the car. In case one like whiskers didn t you know a drug dealer all you know if you know that. It s a race with 3 who question wanna know my friend phones and you call you do a lot driving at night it s a pretty fair assumption for sure only ones on any one time is the case because. When we had the the some of the terrible. Before you know sometimes the centers of London please shut shut down several networks or they get very very congested the time is coming your call will receive a call this a day as I mean that that is right is now a member 77 and literally you can do anything if your phones because the networks all of the networks the mass of the I will subscribe when I absolutely have some of these are not the same because I have my 5 devices which is which is like a mobile is in your pocket instead of a U.S.B. Plug and it s like as a small. Describes it it s a size of suppose full of the pack attention you know the smoke was sort of so much of. The Internet. Life could not connect not have voted on to never as well because transmit pictures and to receive and send other data is easily it s particularly important they didn t leave it off when you said that they would to be on their way home I mean now how can you know phone enjoy a home how do you have I mean I still keep in my car a bill I haven t even I looked at about 10 years a monster out of London. I don t remember when I 1st got there wasn t any of the side of a G.P.S. So I learned my knowledge of driving around London but it was a square for a 48. You know that. Well I still got mild battered talking solid state is that when I 1st started working in the city before I left it for a bit you know fits in a pocket and I ll still go there on the book shelf is my Molly battered and it s called Borrow circles in their places on the to get to but the thing is without what you do is you learn a new thing or I get to this tube station a comment on a guy with a cigarette in the coffee and I turn off to turn right in actually because you ve done a you tend to remember you know you don t get that if you listen to some device telling us towards All right so when I started driving up the big. This is a big blue bound book. Because I foresaw. And it was remark We ll show you remember. DO WE WANT TO THE go on whatever played it was never went to the next page it was pages or a little further back. You saying. London by looking at that book Imam remembering it s remembering landmarks remembering different places and of course you can never get out there to a new book to those. You can see certain pages by the book so I think you know I want to do a lot of love to get hold of a really old data set on the how far back they could be interesting to look at and I presented in the fifty s I mean whether it is as a few movies I know whether or not it is very interesting about that because it is still there but I m sure some will will read it and say there isn t the insulators it or not shop near the. Just of Victoria Street I know why you all yet yeah that s it so there s a shop that had everything I bought many many many years ago. A laminated Giant Woman Yeah. And you know. That s a safety issue so. Find match about for night you know he also got a few in the boot Yeah actually given that whether you know about to put it out into an Iraqi about the disputed of the ring bind side of as opposed to something that was glued into the kind of spine or indeed the staple as you can easily read it whilst driving where these are blooming are you 3 things you have to follow whether a pain in the backside if you got on the passenger seat you can probably cause the folds in the wrong place you know which Turning to take a call to say medical is or sits on the floor then in. Some of them even a little bit 20 mph limits in London do they work and who should enforce them. Well that s a great I don t mean. To think that they should be forced out of schools and schools are open but I think this is this is going to be ready the wonderful cash cow like parking it s a bargain I remember years ago and at least inform in for Sparky when it went to local authorities you know they all they re saying is this in 2 things. Or imports camera system across London you shake it in hundreds and hundreds of. Millions of. Flame cameras and other books and. You make a good point actually all recognize the biggest hurdle to overcome which is convince people who counsels take all enfolding speed limits instead of the police not doing it just because it s an opportunity to make a few quid because I can understand whilst why why the cynical amongst us may well reach that conclusion Nigel thank you have a good night. For . Me. Where. Her. Mother is. See. You. Still. See. The street. Is. Good. Good. Good good. Good. Move. How cool. Was how. Critics could feel good thanks how to cook. To our kids was cool. How.

Believe it is probably my top 5 albums of all the 6 man up out. Yeah yeah no. Top Yeah yeah. I can t think of another album Well in my life so one. Yes. Now it s not really different what you re happy now for Christmas lights I think a bit of a Philistine and if you don t have a traditional English olfaction Christmas lunch and I was Turkey all the trimmings Yeah yeah well I Why why fill a stein of if you don t know about because Christmas is all about Christmas tree food Intel which is self for 24 hours you don t eat like that for the rest I don t anyway but I think the things I m missin you have to think about when I was a kid we used to have ham in a tin. And. Have melts Newbery for. I think these are things you wouldn t see any other time and I d like to think if any of the listeners can think of anything else that they use their head that they don t have now while Christmas time or any time of the Christmas time why so so food or drink used to have a Christmas time but you don t have any more there because well the blues wine could not tell you why in my house when I was a kid growing up there was always a little 4 pack a baby shower knocking around in the early eighty s man if you called me remember a flip No I have to carve out of. Oh no I have a car that Africa called for a car a lot of stuff that s. Used my mother in law. She s called a snowball I was not right. So little things before you left mobiles anymore I don t think they do enough bells to get out stuff it s kind of very kind of sixty s isn t it Mel Mel s banging on about eggnog all in the weather stall here with us the American version all very similar to the other of a lemon I don t even know you can buy these things on a cycle let me have a look so I don t know how do you sell out because. Chestnuts. On the advocate. Don t tell you spell it is that vocab C A T At the end all right yeah. Yeah Dutch company yeah yeah but there was loads of great things that we used to have you know people say that the you get the variety now anything you want. It can go on and I think that s part of the altered I think Christmas as we know it started after the war and it just got bigger. And as people got more money in it talking to it more that but you can t buy the traditional. Christmas fair I think it s great. And nationality. And I m sure even Lee let s support the same thing. Because Claire crackers now only be nice and I wonder could hear a lot of other gens conflicts in the crackers got to be naff as in it was a pretty naff joke that s proper It s really couldn t really have found a male found if you tempted for this year 2018 at Tesco other leading supermarkets warmly Advocaat selling at 10 quid a bottle go go out and get all the other you need to console yourself else you can have a snowball issue.
