Hi, this is Buzz Knight, the host of the Taking a Walk podcast and welcome to another edition of this week, Music History the week of April 28th. Let's wander over to the music history desk to music podcaster, music fan, purveyor of all things music purveyor of all things music history.
Disney World Representative
Harry Jacobs, purveyor, like a, like a guy selling sausages on the street in downtown Boston at the Comet. Right.
Buzz Knight
Got the card out there and you're.
Disney World Representative
Playing ready to rock and roll.
Buzz Knight
All right.
AT&T Representative
April.
Disney World Representative
April 28, 1966, the Beatles began recording Paperback Writer. This continues our tradition of every single week of the year, there was something related to the Beatles and Beatles history. And also in this week, in 1970, they released Let It Be in the UK so big, big week for the Beatles.
Buzz Knight
I have a feeling there'll be more on this particular episode with the Beatles.
Disney World Representative
I think you're right. This is also an Interesting one. 1967, Muhammad Ali had been drafted and he refused his induction into the US Army. He. This is a big deal. He claimed exemption as a conscientious objector based on religious beliefs as a member of the Nation of Islam. He appeared at the induction. It happened in Houston. He refused to step forward when his name was called, and he ended up getting arrested. And it was a, it was a big ordeal. Consequences were severe. Right.
Buzz Knight
Fairly, fairly badass movement, huge badass move.
Disney World Representative
He got banned from the New York State Athletic Commission. So he, they suspended him from, from boxing. They took away his license. They stripped the heavyweight title at that point. And then other boxing commissions followed and he was convicted of draft evasion on June 20 and sentenced to five years in prison as a result.
Buzz Knight
What a remarkable human being, right?
Disney World Representative
Absolutely. And by the way, while he was on appeal, he was able to fight professionally. By the way, he was between 25 and 29 years old during that period of time, so he was really at his prime.
Buzz Knight
Yeah, he was. You got that right.
Disney World Representative
The next day, April 29th in 1976, Bruce Springsteen jumped over the fence at Graceland attempting to meet Elvis Presley. Remember this story?
Buzz Knight
I do remember it. Do you think there's a little bit of writer's embellishment with this story? I wondered about this.
Disney World Representative
You know, I don't know. I mean, listen, here's. Here's the deal. There's a couple things that happened around this that, that had me a little bit puzzled. In. In October of 75, he was on the COVID of Time and Newsweek. He was a big deal. Like no one in the history of those magazines appeared on the COVID Certainly from an entertainment perspective at the, at the same time, you know, Time and Newsweek didn't talk to each other. They didn't know they were both putting Bruce on the COVID So that had happened in October. So November, December, January, February, March, April. Six months later, in the middle of the Born to Run tour, after the show in Memphis, he and Stevie get a brainstorm at 3am and decide to hop the fence because they want to meet Elvis, they want to meet their peer. So they saw the light on in the house, they hop the fence, and they're intercepted by a security guard. And the way Bruce tells it, and this may be the embellishment, where you're getting at, Bruce said, is, Elvis home stage is on you now, bus.
Buzz Knight
Well, listen, a great story can be a great story at the beginning, and then just that little tweak of something can supercharge it and propel it to that next level. I don't know. I love the story, so I prefer to believe it, but it just. I just wonder sometimes how stories become legends.
Disney World Representative
Bruce is a storyteller. Bruce has been known to embellish. We. We know this. Yeah. 1977, Led Zeppelin broke the record at the Pontiac Silver Dome, drawing 76,229 fans to that show. Big deal.
Buzz Knight
And can you think about people that, you know, maybe we know from that area.
Disney World Representative
Yeah.
Buzz Knight
Who maybe have that ticket stub as a source of memory and inspiration from that moment to be fascinating to talk to someone about that.
Disney World Representative
I need you to reach out to our old friend and famous radio consultant Fred Jacobs, to see if he was there, because.
Buzz Knight
All right.
Disney World Representative
I. I think in 1980, he was programming Riff, the legendary WRF. So I'd like to know if Fred was at the. At the Silver Dome for that.
Buzz Knight
That would be a pretty incredible little thing for us to. To do to, you know, trace back a moment like that in music history. Get two to three people that we either know or discover, and then do a little panel discussion with him.
Disney World Representative
Listen, I vote for Fred Jacobs to be on the first episode of whatever we do with that.
Buzz Knight
Okay, good.
Disney World Representative
Can't tell you how many times I've said to people, oh, yeah, he's my uncle. He's my uncle. No relation. By the way, April 30th, the Allman Brothers released Eat a Peach in 1972. Great tracks on that album. Right. Blue Sky, One Way Out. A lot of. You know, there was trouble at that time obviously, too, Right. Dwayne. In the middle of the recording of that album, Dwayne got killed. Motorcycle accident. Yeah. So parts of the album were recorded without Dwayne being alive. Right. Blue sky in One Way out were done while he was alive. And then they used his tracks for Ain't Wasting Time no More and Melissa. They were done after his death with. With him, obviously. So that was kind of an interesting deal.
Buzz Knight
Some of my favorites. And I remember listening to the station that I would get to work at, WNEW fm, and the morning guy back in those days when Eat a Peach and that.
Disney World Representative
That.
Buzz Knight
That era when stuff came out, Dave Herman was the guy's name. Dave used to do a little 7:10 in the morning benchmark. He played Blue sky every morning at 7:10. At least during the summer. Yeah, it was a. Oh, no.
Disney World Representative
Couldn't.
Buzz Knight
Cool little thing that became his little signature.
Disney World Representative
Isn't that interesting, the. The thought that the album was named Eat a Peach because Dwayne had a collision on his motorcycle with a Pete's truck. True or false?
Buzz Knight
I don't know.
Disney World Representative
Go.
Buzz Knight
I say probably true.
Disney World Representative
Okay. You want to phone a friend? Is that your final answer? There are cash and prizes on the line there at Ferraro's in Vegas. If you're right, the loser has to pay the check. So you think. You say that. I just need to get this on record because you've paid every time, but you say it's true. Dwayne Allman collided with the peach truck, and that's why they called it Eat a Peach.
Buzz Knight
Oh, I say truth.
Disney World Representative
Okay, Buzz.
Buzz Knight
Yeah.
Disney World Representative
All right. Let's see what happens. That's incorrect. Survey says wrong.
Buzz Knight
Okay.
Disney World Representative
Collided with a construction truck.
Buzz Knight
Oh, all right.
Disney World Representative
And it was just the whole kind of peach thing, so I'll still buy dinner anyway.
Buzz Knight
I don't care.
Disney World Representative
Listen, I love you for that. Can we. Can we talk, by the way, about Ferraros for just a minute? Legendary Vegas place. Not long ago, you were out here for the national association of Broadcasters meeting.
Buzz Knight
Yes.
Disney World Representative
The collection of executives. And you and I have this routine where we eat at Ferraros. It's a legendary Vegas place. I've eaten there for the 25 years I've been here. Every time you're here, you find your way there. Generally, it's us. We walked in on the Sunday night of the NAB. Listen, I've been here 25 years. I'm a Boston guy. I like going places where people know me and they know my name. But we walked into three different people from that restaurant that all looked at you and didn't just say hello. They shook your hand and said, oh, Mr. Knight, welcome back. I'm like. It was one. It was like you paid People in advance to go, I'm walking in with this Vegas guy and I need you to make sure you address me by name and shake my hand and welcome me back. The King's greeting.
Buzz Knight
Terribly aggravating.
Disney World Representative
Ridiculous. And it didn't stop there. The waiter at the table's like, oh, Mr. Knight, welcome back. I'm like, cut the shit. Are you shitting me with this? And then we get all the way through dinner and the guy who owns the restaurant, the guy who gets to carry the thermometer in his sleeve pocket and a white shirt, walks out and fist bumps me.
Buzz Knight
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a very happy moment for you.
Disney World Representative
No, it was a win on, on that night. But by the way, one of the guys did tell us that he knows you and knows your name because you emailed him basically every day leading up to it for some reason or another. I don't know what the story was with that, but maybe pleading for recognition. I don't know if this was detention seeking behavior.
Buzz Knight
Yeah, it is. There's a gap somewhere. You know, apparently being locked in a closet does not have benefits.
Disney World Representative
Yeah. All right. May, May 1st. Elvis married Priscilla here in Vegas. Big, big deal. She was able to rein him in.
Buzz Knight
Was it at one of those cheesy, you know, wedding palaces?
Disney World Representative
You know, I don't know. I would imagine it was probably at the Hilton. That would have been my guess. I don't know the answer to that. But the Hilton was his kind of home away from home.
Buzz Knight
Sure.
Disney World Representative
While he, While he played here. So I would imagine that the Hilton did something for him. The Hilton's now the Westgate. It's still there. Still looks on the outside exactly like it did. But that happened.
Buzz Knight
Still looks that way on the inside, too. Exactly.
Disney World Representative
I would say it's rough. It's rough.
Buzz Knight
They upgraded it a bit, though, so.
Disney World Representative
Yeah. In 1971, Stones released Sticky Fingers, the album with the zipper. A working zipper, remember that?
Buzz Knight
Oh, yeah, absolutely. On the COVID That'll get your attention.
Disney World Representative
Yes, it will.
Buzz Knight
Well, not your attention, I bet.
Disney World Representative
No, but, you know, ladies or whatever, it's fine. In 1965, Bob Dylan performed his first concert using electric instruments. Did that at the Royal Albert hall in London. And that was a big deal, right. His label and his, you know, everyone around him wanted him to continue to play acoustically. And he began to experiment with electric. You know, management basically fighting with him about playing electric versus playing the. The music that people want to hear acoustically.
Buzz Knight
There is some cool new Dylan information that's. That's out on this next, you know, extended tour that he's. Even the Rough and Rowdy Tour, or whatever it's. It's called. Yeah, I think it's pretty interesting. So Bob, for quite a few years, has not been playing guitar. He's. He's. He's just been playing keyboard. And I mean, this. Honestly, this could be 10 years that he's stopped playing guitar, at least in. In concert. And I'm led to believe it's due to some. Some issue with, you know, a hand or, you know, something that limits him in terms of the playing. Apparently he's playing a song too, you know, playing some guitar. So he's playing them playing places like Sioux City, Iowa and Cedar Rapids and places like that. But there's excitement in the Dylan fan base because Bob is back playing some guitar.
Disney World Representative
He has. I just. I just cheated. While we were. While you were talking, he has arthritis and tendinitis, and that would explain his lack of desire or ability to play.
Buzz Knight
Yep, he's back playing some.
Disney World Representative
Always hires great musicians. You know, I heard a story about G.E. smith and. And I want to say, I wonder if. Did Nils Lofgren play? I know Nils played with Neil, but. But I think that Nils played with Dylan at some point.
Buzz Knight
He may have. I'm not sure about that. But you know, who's on this tour now also, do you remember the great drummer Anton Fig, who used to be Letterman? The Letterman.
Disney World Representative
Oh, yeah. Oh, that's great.
Buzz Knight
He's drumming.
Disney World Representative
That's great. Yeah. I remember the story that Whoever it was, G.E. smith or Nils or someone saying they had to learn 165 songs before they went out. You know, a guy's got to play 15 during the night, but they've got to know 165 in case he gets a hair across his ass about a certain, you know, hey, I want to play Harken. Right?
Buzz Knight
So. Right.
Disney World Representative
Can we do it?
Buzz Knight
Yeah.
Disney World Representative
April 30, 1975. The Vietnam War ended with the fall of Saigon. A big day and a war that, like most accomplished nothing for anybody.
Buzz Knight
So, so sad.
Disney World Representative
Yeah. May 2, 1964, Beatles did Can't Buy Me Love that. It reached number one in the U.S. third consecutive chart topper for them. Springsteen released Darkness in 78, and in 72, the stones started their tour in support of Exile on Main Street. They essentially fled the UK because there were tax exiles, like, I guess just tax cheats or tax frauds, I guess. I don't know what that means, tax exile. Like, I don't want to pay taxes, so I'M I'm gonna split.
Buzz Knight
Yeah. Bank. I'm not sure, but. But, you know, knowing the Stones, maybe they didn't know at that moment exactly what the deal was either. Maybe they left it to some crazy accountant. Right, Because I can't imagine they're obsessing about doing their taxes.
Disney World Representative
No. No, I can't. You know, the band all went to different places. Keith ended up renting a villa in the French Riviera. I don't know if you know this story, but in the basement is where they recorded Exile. They used the mobile truck outside. Basically, they ran everything outside. But in the basement of that villa that Keith had rented are tunnels leading outside of that villa. And the Nazis used it during their invasion of France.
Buzz Knight
It's insane.
Disney World Representative
And that was in that. That was in that villa. But an unbelievable album. Think about it. Tumbling Dice, Happy Sweet Virginia, Just to name a few from that monster.
Buzz Knight
One of my favorites, for sure.
Disney World Representative
May 3, 1969, Jimi Hendrix was arrested at the Toronto International Airport for possession of narcotics. Surprise, surprise.
Buzz Knight
Jimmy, what are you doing, man?
Disney World Representative
I know, I know. Crazy. Fleetwood Mac released their self titled album with Lindsey and Stevie and James Brown was born in 1933. Speaking of crazy artists and drugs, James Brown.
Buzz Knight
And boy, was he rough on his band members with the whole finding thing or what? I think that still amazes me how he just. He would not allow for them to miss a note. And he charged, they had to pay him. He fined them if they missed the note or did something that was outside of the musical scheme. He wanted his $50, whatever.
Disney World Representative
Why?
Buzz Knight
You know. Yeah, for tax.
Disney World Representative
For the wrong note. Tax.
Buzz Knight
Yeah.
Disney World Representative
James Brown, tough to work for. And he ended up in, you know, crashing and burning like he set a hotel room on fire and, you know, beat up his wife and just, you know, awful.
Buzz Knight
Yeah, but a legendary performer. Did you ever get a chance to see him play?
Disney World Representative
No. And. And by the time I was really interested, it was, you know, living in America time for him on the road, and that was just not a good time to see him. I would love to have seen him in the 60s, but I was a, you know, just a young man. You were. You would have been able to see him because you were like 20 and back in the 60s and, you know, you could have gone to a show.
Buzz Knight
Testing 12.
Disney World Representative
This thing working. May 4, May 4, 1970, the National Guard fired on protesters at Kent State. And this inspired the classic Neil Young song. Which song was this? Buzz Ohio. There you go.
Buzz Knight
Yeah. One time, hitchhiking back from school at the University of Dayton and Dayton, Ohio, back to Connecticut for Thanksgiving. On the way back, hitchhiking.
Disney World Representative
Did you really hitchhike from Dayton, Ohio to Connecticut?
Buzz Knight
Yes, sir. And. But we got stuck in Kent State because of a big snowstorm, so we had a, we had to cool our heels for a day and a half in Kent State.
Disney World Representative
Interesting. Holy crap. Hitchhiking from Dayton to. How long did that take you?
Buzz Knight
Like snow days or something? I don't know. Four days?
Disney World Representative
Yeah.
Buzz Knight
Ridiculous. I don't think I ever told my parents, too.
Disney World Representative
They, and they never questioned, like, how you got home, like, but, you know, how'd you get home, Buzz?
Buzz Knight
I got a ride from some friends.
Disney World Representative
Here you go. In 1976, Bob Dylan released Desire in the UK. Hurricane is one of my favorite songs. The story of Reuben Carter, the the boxer accused of murder that allegedly didn't do it right.
Buzz Knight
And Bob, you know, put himself out there for something he believed took up.
Disney World Representative
The cause, fought the police. In 1996, the final original lineup of the Ramones, I guess, played their last concert palace in, in Hollywood. They never played again after that.
Buzz Knight
Well, in that form, yes, because they did take shape with other people whose last name became Ramon, who were not originals. So they, yeah, it probably was other forms that they played, but that was the one, the last one.
Disney World Representative
There you go. And that's this week.
