Buzz Night
Welcome to this Week in Music History. For the week of June 23rd through the 29th, I am Harry Jacobs and the fan noise you hear in the background comes from only one place. From the lovely voice of Amy Hoffman, the host of. Well, the host of Many Things. Right, you're the host of Music Saved Me.
- [02:06]
Lynn Hoffman
Most importantly, breakfast this morning.
- [02:08]
Buzz Night
Breakfast this Morning. We're not involved. We're not otherwise involved. The nature of our relationship is friendship. For 30 years, music and comedy saved me. And we are in parts unknown, Connecticut, and I'm here on vacation. And buzz is not available for the. For the music history for today on the 23rd of June. So I'm here. Lynn is here. Full belly from home cooked breakfast this morning. Thank you so much.
- [02:35]
Lynn Hoffman
You're welcome.
- [02:35]
Buzz Night
Are you ready to rock and roll?
- [02:36]
Lynn Hoffman
I love pinch hitting for buzz night. So lay it on me.
- [02:39]
Buzz Night
Now, listen, this is a bit of a hot rod because Smokey Robinson's had some trouble of late. But in 1965, on the 23rd of June, they released tracks of My Tears. And this was a defining hit from Motown, arguably just one of the great songs of Motown. Right? You know the song, of course, and.
- [03:00]
Lynn Hoffman
Probably one of like the godfathers of the genre.
- [03:04]
Buzz Night
No question about that. An important figure in Motown history. And hopefully all of the legal stuff, the stuff gets figured out for Smokey. But there's that one in 1966, on June 23rd. What we have found, Lynn, is that there's never a week, and sometimes there's never a day that there's not Beatles history of some sort involved in our little episodes. And today is no exception. And they kicked off their final world tour in Munich. It marked the end of an era for Beatles live performances, and it was an epic one. And an important day in music history.
- [03:47]
Lynn Hoffman
Absolutely. I can't imagine that there wouldn't be a day where you couldn't connect something musically back to the Beatles week.
- [03:54]
Buzz Night
We've been doing this. I want to say we started doing this at the end of. At the end of the year, in 24, and every single week, without fail, there's something Beatles related. 1975, June 23rd, Alice Cooper fell off stage in Vancouver. He broke six ribs. Have you ever broken a rib?
- [04:12]
Lynn Hoffman
No, but I hear it's horribly painful.
- [04:15]
Buzz Night
As they say where we come from. It's wicked painful, apparently, to break a rib. And Alice busted six of them. It's a dramatic moment in his theatrical rock career. Big day in 1979. On this day. This is one of my favorite albums.
- [04:31]
Lynn Hoffman
No, it's not your favorite album. It's my favorite album.
- [04:35]
Buzz Night
Breakfast in America by Supertramp. You were looking ahead on the cheat sheet. You stole the thunder. So Breakfast in America, one of your favorites?
- [04:43]
Lynn Hoffman
Well, I don't want to share it with anyone. Well, no, I mean, you got to share something that's good. But yeah, it's probably one of my favorite all time, if not the most. I mean, it's right up there with like, elo.
- [04:54]
Buzz Night
Yeah. So the, the. This album, Breakfast in America, had the logical song and the long way home. Take the long way home. It just, it had a number of great songs. Breakfast in America itself was a great song. A lot of hits, especially for rock radio on. On that one. 1990, Gary Busey purchased one of Buddy Holly's guitars at an auction for almost, almost a quarter of a million dollars. $240,000. A nod to Buddy Holly's influence in rock. Right. Big, big deal for Gary Busey. And he played Buddy Holly. Played Buddy Holly in the movie. So not only did he. Did he get the guitar, but he actually got to play Buddy in a movie.
- [05:39]
Lynn Hoffman
I heard he used the money from the movie he made to buy the guitar.
- [05:43]
Buzz Night
Oh, Isn't that interesting?
- [05:44]
Lynn Hoffman
I made that up.
- [05:46]
Buzz Night
You know, I'm gullible, really. On this day in 2016, Led Zeppelin, long broken up at the time, they were cleared for plagiarizing Stairway to Heaven from a song by a band named Spirit. They were really most well known for a song called I got a line on you. And there was a lawsuit about their song Stairway to Heaven and Spirits, Taurus. It's a high profile trial and it was upheld. They were cleared of plagiarizing. Upheld in 2020 on appeal by Spirit.
- [06:21]
Lynn Hoffman
So just recently, that was. That's crazy.
- [06:24]
Buzz Night
Yeah. Just Covid time.
- [06:25]
Lynn Hoffman
What do you think about that?
- [06:27]
Buzz Night
I think.
- [06:28]
Lynn Hoffman
I mean, isn't it a little nitpicky?
- [06:30]
Buzz Night
It is. Listen, as a guy who plays some music occasionally, I think that it's easy to grab things and riffs and things that you like when you're at the Led Zeppelin level. When you're at the professional kind of level, it can get messy. And I think that, by and large, if you can prove a pattern in terms of the chord progression and the way a song is strummed or individual notes. I mean, I. I don't know. I mean, I. I get it. Listen, Sting, it gets paid by Diddy, like $2,000 a day. I don't know if he's still getting paid with Diddy in jail, but for the ripping off every breath you take, Diddy has to pay Sting $2,000 a day in perpetuity.
- [07:19]
Lynn Hoffman
Wait a minute, wait a minute. I have never heard that story.
- [07:22]
Buzz Night
Yeah, it's a true story.
- [07:23]
Lynn Hoffman
How did I not hear that story?
- [07:25]
Buzz Night
I don't know.
- [07:25]
Lynn Hoffman
It's true story. Go sting.
- [07:26]
Buzz Night
Two, two GS a day.
- [07:28]
Lynn Hoffman
Although I wonder if he donates that money, because anything coming from Diddy.
- [07:32]
Buzz Night
Yeah, I don't know. It's icky, right? There's an ick factor. Now with that, in 1967, the Monkees TV show, they won an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series. And they beat out Bewitched and Get Smart. You know, the Monkees. Are you a fan of the Monkees music?
- [07:50]
Lynn Hoffman
Are you kidding me? Took the last train to Clarksville and like, cheer up, sleepy Jean. And Yes. I mean, I love the Monkees. Are you kidding me? I wanted to marry Davy Jones.
- [08:02]
Buzz Night
You. And you're wearing Mickey Dolenz's pork pie hat today. I am. No one can see it.
- [08:06]
Lynn Hoffman
He's the last remaining monkey.
- [08:09]
Buzz Night
He is. He's it. Okay, I did not realize that. Well, the. The monkeys. I'll tell you a little musical fact about The Monkees. The Monkees, musically, were very underrated. And when you look at things like Last Train of Clarksville's a great example, you can look up Louis Shelton, who played in the band the Wrecking Crew. They were. They were part of the band that backed up a lot of these bands in the 60s. Musically, the Monkees were really, really great. They didn't play. I mean, they played their own instruments when they went on tour, but when they recorded, the Wrecking Crew, guys were backing them, backing them up, and they. They wrote those riffs. So. Interesting story about the Monkees. Let's see what else we got here. 1984. Buzz and I are both Springsteen fans. Born in the USA debuted at number nine in the USA and that really, in 1984, launched Bruce's career. Up to that point, Bruce had really good rock recognition. But in 1984, Born in the USA just sent him out into the ether.
- [09:15]
Lynn Hoffman
Now, was it really Born in the USA or was it because he grabbed that beautiful woman in the music video in 1984 onto the stage with him?
- [09:25]
Buzz Night
The beautiful woman that he grabbed on stage in the video for Dancing in the Dark was who?
- [09:30]
Lynn Hoffman
Oh, that was Dancing in the Dark. See, Dancing in the Dark, it's okay.
- [09:34]
Buzz Night
But who was that?
- [09:35]
Lynn Hoffman
Are you asking me or. It's like a quiz. You're gonna give away money to somebody listening?
- [09:39]
Buzz Night
You're sitting across me in. In Mickey Dolenz's hat. Tell me who Bruce Springsteen drags in the video in Dancing in the Dark. Who was it? She's famous.
- [09:48]
Lynn Hoffman
Gorgeous. Courteney Cox from Friends.
- [09:50]
Buzz Night
There you go. I could see. I could see the smoke coming out of your ears when you were trying to think about that, but yeah, Courtney Cox and Dancing in the Dark.
- [09:57]
Lynn Hoffman
Well, I'm not that old and.
- [09:58]
Buzz Night
No, you're not.
- [09:59]
Lynn Hoffman
No, no.
- [10:01]
Buzz Night
The thing about Born in the USA is a lot of people think it's a patriotic song. If you go see him in concert, you see people waving their fists, holding up the flags, and there's this patriotic feel to Born in the USA but the song Born in the usa, if you listen to the lyrics, is about how a Vietnam veteran is treated when he came home or was treated when he came home. And it's a sad. It's about as anti American as a song can get, yet everyone has co opted it into a anthem for the.
- [10:31]
Lynn Hoffman
USA an anthem for the USA yeah.
- [10:35]
Buzz Night
Let's go to June 25th. We talked, Buzz and I, about all you need is love a couple times. And I know we've got Another conversation coming up next week on this. On this very song. But all you need is love, which is monster of an anthem. It was played live on something called our world global global TV broadcast. It was a big moment in 60s counterculture. This song was, you know, about as anti war and pro peace as you can get. You know, think about the words. All you need is love. That's all you need.
- [11:14]
Lynn Hoffman
I'm not, I'm wondering if I'm giving you the love that Buzz usually gives you on the show. It's like, am I, am I doing his part justice at this point?
- [11:22]
Buzz Night
Well, you know what it is because there's no one here to pick on me. You didn't call me like music maven or music God or tease me or throw any of those shots at me.
- [11:30]
Lynn Hoffman
I can if you want. I mean, all in good spirit.
- [11:33]
Buzz Night
I can't throw any age insults back to you, which is generally my. It's my act with Boss.
- [11:40]
Lynn Hoffman
That's your thing.
- [11:41]
Buzz Night
That's my thing with Boss. No, that's not, that's impossible. Yeah, but you're a great co host and I appreciate it.
- [11:47]
Lynn Hoffman
Well, thanks.
- [11:49]
Buzz Night
In 1984, the woman who would become Bruce Springsteen's wife joined the E Street Band on this day, just before the tour kicked off. Patty Scialfa is her name. He met her at a little bar called the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Made famous, really by Bruce. A lot of the Jersey Shore guys played there, but that's where Bruce and Patty met in the back bar there. I saw him talk about it on a CBS special one day and it's kind of a sweet little story. And they're married, continue to be married for quite some time at this point. Three beautiful kids. So 2009, Michael Jackson passed away at 50. This was a loss that was enormous to the music world. It was also a time, and I want to be careful how I, how I talk about this, that the, you know, the, the creep or the ick factor was alive and well for Michael because of the, you know, the kids and, and the ranch. And it's, you know, it's a shame because his music, you know, I've got this, you understand this about me. I've got this soft spot for pop. Always have and, and loved his music. But that creep factor, I think hurt him for a lot of people.
- [13:11]
Lynn Hoffman
Yeah, I mean, it was clear that he, he had his issues and whatever the demons were that he was fighting. But the sad part is, is that he's not here to defend himself. A. And Yeah. B, as someone who's worked with documentary films that, you know, you can really skew whatever feeling you want in those to try to make it something seem one way or another. So I'm always really skeptical when I see things, which I saw on it. But, I mean, like, to ban the songs and. Or not, you know, we don't really know. There's not been any trial. There's been no evidence presented. It's all just hearsay and opinion.
- [13:55]
Buzz Night
I think banning of the music is over. Right. At this point. I mean, we still hear it again. But there was that period of time that. That people were.
- [14:01]
Lynn Hoffman
There was the ick factor. Yeah, yeah.
- [14:03]
Buzz Night
Where they weren't gonna play his music. Right. Interesting story there, at any rate. And I have a friend, at some point, if we ever get into the true crime business here at Buzz Night Media, I have a friend who worked the Conrad Murray story, and Conrad Murray was the doctor who injected Michael with Propofol. This friend of mine who worked, I won't say what branch, but worked in law enforcement, he carried what they call an iron key around his neck. And that is a little USB thumb drive. And you only get 10 shots to unlock it. And if you miss the passcode, like, if he were to lose that hard drive and someone tried to hack it, it automatically destructs. And the thought with that iron. The thought with the iron key was, if you bought one, you got yourself on a list. I remember saying, when I saw it, I thought, oh, that's really cool. I'm gonna buy one. He said, don't buy it from them. You'll end up on a list. Go to Amazon.
- [14:59]
Lynn Hoffman
Oh, my God.
- [15:00]
Buzz Night
Right?
- [15:01]
Lynn Hoffman
That's crazy. That's kind of cool.
- [15:03]
Buzz Night
Kind of a cool story. June 26, 1964, the Stones released their debut album in the U.S. this kicked off their invasion on the American rock scene. And in that day, Lynn, there were a couple camps of people. There were the Stones people and there were the Beatles people. I was in both camps. Did you have a favorite when you were growing up? Did you enjoy this kind of music or were you more listening to pop when you were young?
- [15:33]
Lynn Hoffman
I. I mean, I will say that my first decade on the planet was in the best decade for music, which is the seventies. And I only say this because when I look back, those are the years that the bands got in the studio studios with each other and played together. And there was, like, no better sound than when, you know, everyone was in a room looking at each other vibing.
- [15:53]
Buzz Night
You know, playing live.
- [15:55]
Lynn Hoffman
Yeah, yeah. And then 80s, of course, you know, and went through the disco and then the 80s, pop and all, you know, MTV.
- [16:02]
Buzz Night
Right.
- [16:03]
Lynn Hoffman
So. So I'd have to say probably lean more towards the Beatles. I know that sounds weird because they were.
- [16:10]
Buzz Night
No, it doesn't.
- [16:11]
Lynn Hoffman
Earlier, but.
- [16:12]
Buzz Night
No, it doesn't not.
- [16:13]
Lynn Hoffman
It seemed like Everybody in the 70s and 80s were inspired by them.
- [16:17]
Buzz Night
Yeah. In 1977, on. On this date, the 26th, Elvis played his last concert in Indianapolis. This was. This was about a month, a little less than a month before his death. He died in August and in 1977. And. And this was bad Elvis. This was jumpsuit, pork chop, sideburns, a lot of pharmaceuticals, a lot of ick. Speaking of ick, there's a lot of ick with fat Elvis.
- [16:55]
Lynn Hoffman
Whenever I close my eyes, I always see him, though, in that black leather outfit from 68.
- [17:00]
Buzz Night
We're gonna talk about. We're gonna talk about the 68 special in a minute. Cause it's coming up. The anniversary of. That's coming up. Wow. And. And that's. Listen. That's the good looking Elvis.
- [17:09]
Lynn Hoffman
Yeah.
- [17:09]
Buzz Night
You know, even. Even as a heterosexual guy, I can look at that and go, man, Elvis is a hot piece.
- [17:13]
Lynn Hoffman
Even sweaty.
- [17:14]
Buzz Night
Even sweaty.
- [17:15]
Lynn Hoffman
Yeah.
- [17:16]
Buzz Night
Yeah. So in 89, Bon Jovi, his New Jersey tour actually ended up in Moscow. And this was really something that, that solidified their global dominance. I. I was never a huge Bon Jovi fan. I appreciate him. I think he's a. There's, you know, arguably he's a great guy and he's kind to everyone that wants to meet him. Were you a Bon Jovi? Are you a Bon Jovi? Oh, my God, Yeah.
- [17:43]
Lynn Hoffman
Come on.
- [17:43]
Buzz Night
Yeah, right.
- [17:44]
Lynn Hoffman
Is that even a question?
- [17:45]
Buzz Night
It's not. It's not.
- [17:45]
Lynn Hoffman
It was the hair and all the hair.
- [17:48]
Buzz Night
He's still a good looking guy. I just saw a video of him at a wedding some years ago where, you know, the wedding band is playing Living on a Prayer, and they walk up to him as they're singing his song, and he's like, give me the microphone. And he goes up on stage to sing it. Good sport.
- [18:04]
Lynn Hoffman
Yes, definitely a good sport. I've interviewed him quite a few times and always, always willing to.
- [18:10]
Buzz Night
Yeah, good guy and a handsome fellow.
- [18:13]
Lynn Hoffman
Yeah.
- [18:14]
Buzz Night
1968, June 27th is the next day. And here's where we come into play with this conversation about the comeback special. The 68 comeback special for Elvis. The leather suit in Burbank in front of a TV audience. It. What we see on television is not the way it happened. You know, because you've done television for a long time. There's a lot of takes and retakes, and there's a lot of downtime in television. Why? Why is that? Why is there so much.
- [18:44]
Lynn Hoffman
It's called hurry up and wait.
- [18:45]
Buzz Night
Yeah.
- [18:46]
Lynn Hoffman
Well, there's just so many moving parts, and the audience, usually, when you're taping something like that, the audience is part of the show, although they think they're there to watch the show. They really are. Like, they're working as much as everyone.
- [18:58]
Buzz Night
On the sets because they're being directed, in a sense, when to applaud, how to behave, how to respond. Yeah, all of that. It gets taped in Burbank, and this leads to a huge comeback for ELVIS. And sadly, nine years later was, you know, was when he died. But he looked good in 68, skinny in his leather suit and that red guitar and. Yeah.
- [19:23]
Lynn Hoffman
And if you catch the reinventing Elvis doc, it is. It's done by the guy who was in charge at CBS at the time. So he tells the whole story, and it's just unbelievable. Like, he was cut off from Elvis. Couldn't talk to him because of.
- [19:38]
Buzz Night
I watched it, and I was just blown away by it.
- [19:43]
Lynn Hoffman
Right. And all the people who were at that stage when they were filming it, you know, cut to today. They tell the story of being there.
- [19:50]
Buzz Night
And it's pretty amazing to see him. See him now. The Allman Brothers did a series of a legendary run of concerts at the Fillmore east and west over the years. And it was on this date in 1971 that they closed the Fillmore East. Allman Brothers played that final show. And a big deal there.
- [20:13]
Lynn Hoffman
Big deal. Big deal. One of my most favorite time spent working ever was getting to work with him.
- [20:20]
Buzz Night
To Greg Allman. Yeah. Oh, no. Tell me what it was.
- [20:23]
Lynn Hoffman
It was huge. It was so big. I was working at A E at the time, and it was so big that he came in. It was after he had had, like. He had liver transplant.
- [20:32]
Buzz Night
Like, you know, he liked his booze.
- [20:34]
Lynn Hoffman
Yeah, yeah. But. But he came in, like, just a few months after that, which was amazing. But at the time on A and E, the big show was Dog the Bounty Hunter. And he happened to be at the studio that day, so him and his wife, then, when she was still alive, and they were waiting in my dressing room for Greg to finish, because we would have them do the songs first in the studio, and then I would go in and reset and we'd do the interview.
- [21:00]
Buzz Night
Sure.
- [21:00]
Lynn Hoffman
And he just wanted to meet him. So Bad, like, he. He didn't leave.
- [21:04]
Buzz Night
He wanted to meet Dog. The.
- [21:05]
Lynn Hoffman
No, Dog wanted to meet Greg.
- [21:07]
Buzz Night
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [21:09]
Lynn Hoffman
It was like, yeah, big deal. Line down the hall, you know, it was. It was pretty crazy.
- [21:14]
Buzz Night
Yeah. I had a little brush with Greg once and I felt the same way. I thought, I need to meet. I need to meet.
- [21:19]
Lynn Hoffman
And what a sweet, sweet man.
- [21:21]
Buzz Night
I did. I wasn't able to get close to him. I was backstage. It was everything. I just couldn't. He was hurried. Hurried by me, so. But I'm sure the interview was great, right? You enjoyed.
- [21:30]
Lynn Hoffman
Oh, my God. Best. Best ever. Yeah, I was. I was one of the ones where I was really nervous.
- [21:35]
Buzz Night
Yeah. June 29th, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards were arrested and found guilty on drug charges in London. I didn't research this completely, but I believe these charges are all related to marijuana.
- [21:50]
Lynn Hoffman
Oh, okay. Well, during the police raid at Keith Richards London mansion, I guess it was his home, they were illegally possessing four tablets containing amphetamine sulfate and methylamphetamine hydrochloride. Keith Richards charged with allowing his house to be used for the purpose of smoking cannabis. Jagger and Richards pled not guilty. But outside the court, a crowd of young fans were waiting to see the stars. But two of the men were driven away in a chauffeured car into the back of the building. And a third man was charged with possession of heroin. So maybe it was the drug dealers outside.
- [22:31]
Buzz Night
Oh, gosh. So here's the thing. They weren't really arrested for the cannabis. There was meth, some sort of methamphetamine. Some speed they were doing. There was more.
- [22:39]
Lynn Hoffman
Yeah, probably because they were working all hours of the day and night trying to get music done.
- [22:44]
Buzz Night
Are you making excuses for the use of the amphetamine for the upper.
- [22:49]
Lynn Hoffman
Well, I mean, the thing I think the thing of at the time was is they were in a private residence. So, like, how do you go barge into someone's home and say, you can't do that? Like that.
- [23:00]
Buzz Night
That was a constitutional issue for you, isn't it? You're like a cute version of Alan Levin.
- [23:07]
Lynn Hoffman
I wouldn't go that far.
- [23:08]
Buzz Night
In 1968, Pink Floyd did the first free concert at Hyde park in London. This was a big deal for Pink Floyd. A big deal deal for. For their fans and. And a monster event in London's High Park. Free. First free concert. Hi, Pac. Were you. Are you Pink Floyd fan?
- [23:30]
Lynn Hoffman
Huge. Yeah, love Comfortably Numb. Oh, my gosh. The first time I saw the Wall was I was 18 and I was at my Friend's bar in Roanoke, Virginia. And they made me a Long island iced tea, and I had never. I thought it was just a regular iced tea. I didn't know. And he handed it to me and said good night. And I watched the wall, and, yeah.
- [23:51]
Buzz Night
The Long island iced tea is a giant trick. You know, it's. As you know, it's five shots or six shots. It's.
- [23:57]
Lynn Hoffman
It was ugly.
- [23:57]
Buzz Night
Here you go.
- [23:58]
Lynn Hoffman
Yeah, I woke up on. My head was on the bar. Yeah. But. Yeah, but I managed to stay up for the whole movie for the wall, they tell me.
- [24:05]
Buzz Night
Okay. All right. In 1974, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and the Eagles played at Wembley. And this was a monster folk rock kind of event in London. Folk rock took over London for that event. It was very well attended and, you know, a handful of people that are very well recognized even to this day, for their contributions to folk and that kind of rock.
- [24:33]
Lynn Hoffman
So I feel like Buzz would have a lot more to speak of on this matter.

Buzz Night
Yeah, listen, we're both fans of. And we talked about this in depth. We're both fans of this. The Eagles were both big Neil Young fans. I'm a monster Neil Young fan with Neil Young. I didn't appreciate him until I got older. I might have just. I might have been in my 50s. It might have been, like, last eight, nine years.

Lynn Hoffman
It was the pork chop sideburns. Right. It was, like, the only other artist who could wear them.
- [25:00]
Buzz Night
It's. It's very funny because you and I had this discussion with Buzz the other day. We were trying to figure out people with pork chop sideburns, and Buzz did say Neil Young for it, and it's true. Yeah, we'll take Neil Young for the win, but just, you know, a bunch of amazing and wonderful songs that he's written. And I think. I just think the guy's got the voice of an angel, so. And Joni Mitchell, Court and Spark is one of my favorite albums of all time. So all three of those bands, Eagles, Neil Young and his band, and Joni Mitchell, I just. I adore all of them.
- [25:33]
Lynn Hoffman
So that was it, my fit. What's your favorite Eagles song?
- [25:37]
Buzz Night
You know, I. I think I. I want to say now, and it wasn't this way always, because we played it so much on the radio. But I have a tremendous appreciation for Hotel California. It's just epic. I love the opening acoustic guitar. I love the guitar solo at the end of it. But there are, you know, Pretty Maids in a Row, which is kind of an obscure song. I. I Just adore life in the fast lane again, being a guitar geek. Like, I watched Joe Walsh talk to Paul Schaefer about how he came up with the opening for Life in the Fast Lane. And he said it was a warm up exercise he used to do backstage before concerts. And someone heard it, someone from the band, Glenn Frey or someone heard it and said, we got to do something with that. And then next thing you know, it's Life in the fast Lane. So I've got a bunch of favorites. What about you?
- [26:28]
Lynn Hoffman
I was just gonna say it was Hotel California, hands down. But then New York Minute, really one of my all time favorites.
- [26:37]
Buzz Night
And that's Henley. Their rendition. Their rendition of. Of. Of New York Minute. Henley song is so good. From Hell Freezes over or one of the live albums, right?
- [26:48]
Lynn Hoffman
Yeah, yeah, it was definitely live.
- [26:51]
Buzz Night
You know, I just. The Eagles are a band. This came on in the kitchen the other night. Didn't like peaceful easy feeling or to keep Tequila Sunrise while we were all cooking dinner and hanging out or watching you cook in the kitchen. But one of the, one of those songs came on and, and, and two of the three people in the room went, oh my God, this song. Yeah, like it's. That's great.
- [27:11]
Lynn Hoffman
So stands the test of time.
- [27:13]
Buzz Night
