Hello

Hello.

Another Saturday night!

hey chris

This is Rawk!

Sounds like Steve Marriott on voc

I guess because it is

yep it was

Nice Bob story. What happened to kids these days? Where did all the delinquents go?

i know we need more kids doing hi jiks

Less school shooters more whoopie pads!

that is friggin exactly right

Don’t have any kids of my own but if I did they’d be out there getting in trouble for no reason

And that’s the way it should be (yelling at clouds)

agreed - i thin your psot oof less shooters and more whoopie cushions was onthe mark!!!

Yes! missing persons! Going to see Terry Bozxio with Adrian Belen’s new King Crimson project

yeah - kind of old high school popular band in 1982

Evening everyone!

Pretty bland drumming too but he can really play! I mean he was in Zappa’s band

Hey Rob from MD. I’m from those parts myself

Howdy thomas! Where are you now?

In middle school I would take the fire extinguisher and run down the hall leaving a trail of fire retardant spraying behind me. Good times

hey rob

@rob I’m in south jersey now

nice!-- im trying to think of some other things -- like the dude who kept a bong in his giant buick 50 foot oldsmobile

under the hood

We used to make bongs out of mason jars because they were harder to come by in those days

If we’re keeping it 70’s hard rock can we do Taste or Rory Gallagher?

Or some Budgie?

sure i could play some tast what do youwant to hear

Can’t remember names of songs. It’s all good though

ok ill try and find a taste song in bit

Maybe What’s going On

ok sounds good -- ill look for it

@thomas, south jersey is a good place. @Tim, hey

South jersey is a great place. Let’s you know why we’re called the garden state

I knew a guy from Nottingham too. He loved Free and was amazed how much Americans loved Led Zeppelin

We love bong stories in this chat

who wouda guessed

from west nottingham academY ? or nottinghan england

Cow tipping.

Remember gravity bongs? In the tub of water. We were hydrodynamic engineers with some we made out of tightly sleeved pvc pipe.

I hear of people talk about cow tipping but nobody that’s ever successfully done it

@tim England like Robin Hood land

ahhh i see

oh yeah that was a high schoolt hing...

In my time in high school all the stoners either made do with pens or the fabric softener over a tube of paper towels trick

I say my time as if 15 to 19 years ago was such a long time ago

..wasnt apples a thing to...

I knew somebody who tried the Apple thing lol

I didn't start until much later when personal vaporizers were already a thing

Paper towel was to hide the smell on exhale yeah!

Done the apple for sure. And lots of beer cans but that was just bowls not bongs

I’m more Tim’s age

I did hot knives before and that hits really harsh lol

Times were tough we’d spend all week trying to to find weed. Now you just go to the store. Or have it delivered LOL!

Hot knives yes!

My first time I actually had to beg my sister to get one of her friends to drop some off for me. Had to pay a finder's fee for some real smelly skunk. My first time I had a panic attack waiting for my Ellios Pizza to heat up LOL

Smoking court with the hacky sack

You kids were spoiled. We had to smoke the crappy Mexican brick weed with seeds all through it( fist in the air yelling at clouds)

My god. My mom wasn't much of a smoker but she did tell me about that too

oh yeah the hacky sack smoking court deal

@ tandy - yep had an area for kids to smoke late sevites and eighties

Dan Deacon from Baltimore right Rob!

I bet it still hit better than the new stuff. Ive even noticed that in the past few years it's gotten stronger but it just doesn't feel the same. Too much focus on THC while all the other cannabinoids are left on the sideline.

Leslie at West Nottingham. Rumor has it, she called Tim -Zoid-.

oh yeah -- i forgot the knickname-- will have to mention

@Tim my high school had a little courtyard that was a smoking area, the teachers LOVED to tell us about that. Unfortunately the courtyard was closed for whatever reason when I went.

some kid was dealing weed in the smoking area and a teqacher was looking out the window and busted him

i remamber that -- its all coming back to me

That’s when a dime bag was a dime bag

From proggy to hard blues and back again

sure why not

Yeah guess that’s not too uncommon really

the good thing about free form radio

Absolutely never know what’s coming

Humans are much better than algorithms to keep it interesting

Michael Quatro is Suzi's brother

way diffrent musical styles-i think he is way better-

Speaking of whom, I see your Suzi photo is gone

yeah - we cant do that with pictures-- had some issues

Too bad. I was starting to wonder if she'd had 48 crashes, or gone down to Devil Gate Drive, or something

Did the Blackberries sing on that Humble Pie track?

a suzi fan i see...

nope that was pre blackberries- fillmore east 1971

Tim needs to say, "Take it easy but take it" tonight and play a Carpenters song.

earl bailey reference nice...

I was always more smitten with Suzi and Michael's niece.

wawsnt suzi on happy days once ..if i remamber right?

omg it was leather tuscadero?

The malachi crunch!

ooh man-- i forgot about that

the wierd things your remmeber

Lenny and the Squigtones were pretty awesome

Wasn’t it Pinky Tuscadero? I watched way to much television

maybe that is it -- well its the 21st centry ill jsut check the internet

it was leather tuscadero

another mystery solved

Huh, wel I remember she fell victim to the malachi crunch at the demolition derby

the drama of happy days

those dam malachi brothers

The niece I referred to is Sherilyn Fenn. Her mother is the Pleasure Seekers keyboardist Patti Quatro.

oh... yeah ive hear them i thought suzi was in that band

The show where jump the shark came from

oh right - i think i was oof the happy days train by that point

Suzi Quatro and sisters were indeed in the Pleasure Seekers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pleasure_Seekers_(band)

thanks rob--

I must correct myself. It was actually Arlene Quatro who played keyboards and is Sherilyn's mom. Patti Quatro was the lead guitarist. Suzi Quatro sang. When the Pleasure Seekers became Cradle, Nancy Quatro joined them.

aha - Ill have to find out more about the pleasure seekers - they look pretty cool from the internet

That Mort Garson piece was very amusing

yeah its. a whole concept album --

from 1967

The 90's band Tuscadero named themselves after Suzi's character on "Happy Days". Their song "Leather Idol" is about her.

ok that sounds like a smart aleckly band that i would like - will have to check out

I'm reading about the Garson album :-)

feel free to shar eany factss if you so desire

My favorite Tuscadero song is "Nancy Drew", about the singer's mother throwing out all her Nancy Drew books and other childhood objects/memorabilia. The first time I heard it I stopped what I was doing and listened intently, as it resonated a lot

@ rob I must find that

@Tim, it's on their "The Pink Album" https://www.discogs.com/master/298600-Tuscadero-The-Pink-Album

yeah, hippy music

and it's also the b side of the Mt. Pleasant single https://www.discogs.com/master/1205279-Tuscadero-Mt-Pleasant-Nancy-Drew

thanks rob

(And I have both of them)

@ billy it will cure what ails ya

@ rob vinlyl copies?

@Tim, I think both are? I haven't played either one in ages. I got them in the 90s when the band was together

I recently watched the 1983 movie "The Hunger". It featured the singers of Clear Light, Bauhaus, Pulsallama and the Hype!

waaws it any good

I'll watch almost anything with Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon in it!

ill agree to that

sick song

yeah - im going to try more of her - later if i can really good album

I was fascinated in a similar way with a film shown on TCM today. "Hell Drivers" (1957) had actors who would become famous playing superspies in the 60's: Patrick McGoohan, David McCallum and Sean Connery. That's right—John Drake, Illya Kuryakin and James Bond all in the same movie!

that sounds interesting too... anybody ever see the sterile cuckoo with liza minellia - its one of thoise wierd moviews once you start watching it you cant stop

Catchin the show very sporadically. Diggin the notes from '82. My year too. Similarities......

hey g jax- iglad your liking it

Lookin back at the chat..damn BONG TALK!!!

yep you missed the new wprb talk show... bong talk

One thing you sai just before I went in the restaurant. When the world was new waved out you and your bud were into Humble Pie and Free. For me it was Deep Purple. Aside for me an the guys in my band. NOBODY cared about Deep Purple in 81-82

yeah -- we had the exact same thing -

i dont know why buut that was the case

Don't believe I've ever heard Mr Big on the radio, let alone the live version. Well done. Paul Kossoff still blows my mind

yeah my buddy requested it for old time sake

i havent listened to it in a while

Great show tonight, Tim. We loved this last half hour, thx!

thanks rob - glad your out ther listening - always good to here -

The thing about bands like Free, Humble Pie, Deep Purple is you might hear one or two song by each on lame Ray Koob-ish classic rock radio but those band had tons of great stuff. I still listen to Free and Humble Pie. Deep Purple not so much.

yeah purple early stuff is interesting to they did an album with i think royal philharmonic and another one called gedmini suite

Yeah I loved all that stuff back then. I loved every version of that band. The funny thing is me and my buds were so into them and we thought ahh, they'l never reform. And they did. I kinda wish they didn't haha. I dunno. I just wan't into it

yeah old bands refroing is aleays a bad idea -

im not iinto the old guy reuion tours for anybody

Oh no neither am I. But when they reformed they were still young - thought they seemed old. Mid 80's I guess? Perfect Strangers. And it was a hit of sorts. But eh...not for me.

Thanks for the show Tim!

yeah - they reqally wernt that old then - i didint think it was too bad -- but then the later reeoin and tour were ugh

jey tandy - thanks for hangin out

I just watched some of the ACDC concert on Youtube from last week that for some reason my bro-in-law paid a fortune to see. I don't get that at all. Angus still rips but eh..Brian Johnson can't sing his own stuff anymore but he did ok on the Bon Scott stuff. Look at old video of them live I don't know how that dude sang like that for complet tours. No wonder his voice is shredded

@Tim (host) Thanks for great subbing and spinning tonite

hey richard - really thanks for listening - thank for hangin out

@ g jax - i couldnt agree more - it the fleece the suckers tour -its kinda sad

and they look kinda silly the rockin grandpas

But hey I saw Tom Jones last week. 86 and absolutely kickin ass.

exception to the rule

He don't move much anymore but his voice is flawless

yeah there a slight few i have seen late in the gme that were still good -- but man the majority its jsut sad

Punk, heavy metal and any kind of hard rock in general don't age well

yuo - ok im out cya thanks again fer listening

Later Tim. Thanks........
