Ringo Starr (LIVE) Chooses Love & The Beatles Every Time

No matter what you choose, choose love. It's a long way to go. You helped me a while back today. You know, in those days when Brian called to say, hello, Ringo, would you join the Beatles? I said, yeah. You know, and I come from a very early country. And, you know, there was like the wife's left, the dog's dead, or I don't have enough money for the Dukebox. David, it's your life. It's from my book. Yeah. Well, we got a big one today, Dana. And we really, it was kind of nerve-wracking a little bit, but first of all, his name is Ringo, a star. And he doesn't do a lot of podcasts. I couldn't find any other podcasts, maybe a couple. It's just very rare. I love it. So we were able to, we were very lucky a little while ago on the podcast to do Paul McCartney, which is a thrill. And then to get Ringo was a double thrill. Yeah. I will say that nervous, of course, there's some when you're with one of the Beatles, and I know at a certain point, someone like Ringo or Paul, is like, they haven't had it with the Beatles thing. But you know, it's just, it's like talking about something forever, forever. But lovely dude, super cool, looks great. And I don't want to sound like Kelly Ripa, but looks great. She got in trouble for telling, I guess that. And such a magnificently huge star. And you play the drums, which I mentioned to Ringo during it. I didn't want to put you on the spot. I just wanted to say that someone like you will look for more things than someone like me when you watch a good drummer, and you know every Beatles song back and forth. I think he appreciates that. Right. And the, because of back channels and people working for us trying to get Ringo for a long time and landing him, and then we found out it was about, it was going to be about 20 minutes. So it was sort of like, okay, what do I ask in these 20 minutes? Cause I could have gone for three hours. But to your point, you know, you don't really know until you see someone in person. So we saw Ringo in person, sharp as attack, voice really strong, moves really well. So it's like, this guy is like, you know, and has a new album out, which we talk about a lot, which is great. So yeah, I was a little hyperbolic. I was a little amped up. I was trying to calm down. You'll see I was a little, and I kind of apologized to him. You know. Well, it's too exciting. Like I was just, you know, I go on these things like, where it's old celebrities, old Hollywood things they sell and things that are cool. And recently there was Beatles stuff. And that's such a fun, I think you have assigned Beatles album and which is unbelievable, unbelievably cool to have all four Beatles on there. And I was looking cause I thought, oh, I wonder if I could get anything. And then I knew it was going to be out of my range. And then they just said, the ring, you would have loved this, the Ringo Starr drums from I think Ed Sullivan show. It was the kick drum cover, which was preserved perfectly. And it says, you know, meet the Beatles or the Beatles. The Beatles. And it's an iconic kind of thing. And that one from one early, early, probably Ed Sullivan went for two million or something. 2.3 after starting the bid at 500,000. Yeah. So it would have been out from the get go. And they sold John Lennon's piano that he wrote, Lucy in the Sky and Sergeant Pepper. And I don't even know what that went for. But all that stuff, it's all one of a kind. It's all so interesting. And anything to do with the Beatles, they tell me sells so well. So exciting. And a guy that's part of history. I met him years ago at the MTV Awards. We did a sketch where I played the receptionist. Remember that one? I was doing that on SNL. Of course, yeah. Where you are condescending. This is regarding. And so we had people coming into the MTV Awards that year. I don't think it was the year you hosted. I think it was one of the other years. Yeah, Ringo came in. And then we got Ringo to come up. And I had to go, oh, why would I know you? And you're in the music world, which I don't listen to many. And so he was a great sport. But I don't know if he would remember that because, but of course I did. And then, oh, you know what we'll show? Heather, I ran into him about six months ago. Our stupid manager, Gervits, hey, I got a party for Eddie Vedder. You want to come by? Eddie says, come by. So it was a birthday party. And when I walked in, I'm on the stairs to the backyard and Ringo's there and I'm like, holy shit. And he turned around and took a picture with his friends. And I fucking whipped in and photo bombed. Oh, that's right, yeah. And then they left. And then I told Gervits that we were having on. He goes, did you ever see that picture? Didn't you photo bomb? And he sent it to me. So we'll put it up so you can see it. And it's super stupid. But great time. Also, we can say this that during the interview, I know you love this too. When he starts explaining drumming and he starts doing it on his knees and his feet, his feet are going and then we're like mesmerized. Well, it's on YouTube. There's a guy who goes, Ringo, I can play anything Ringo can play, Ringo's easy. And so he has a song act naturally where the hi-hat is going 16 time or 94 hits a minute. It's like, and then he sings the same time. So that bringing that up led him to do a little very quick slap rhythm thing that you'll see. And that was like, oh my God, he's got timing. I just want to put it in context for people. The thing about us Beatle fanatics, and there's millions of us, is because what they did in like six and a half years is still hard to comprehend. And who did what? So at one point I did, we were talking about that. And then he'll bring up a song. I don't know if I should mention it, but I had some questions about a song called Come Together. And his answer to that is really, sort of gave me the chills, little goosebumps. Not to overstate it, but it was very cool. You'll love it, because he does a little act out with it. And it kind of says it all. And so for me, I knew Ringo was the perfect drummer for the Beatles. I didn't know the extent of his talent in the moment. Like that he hears the song and he's not suffering over it or thinking much. He just, a lot of his stuff was spontaneous. And that was, so that was really cool. To learn that after all these years. And that's why we're still obsessed with the Beatles. What did John Lennon do? What did Ringo do? What was the relationship? We had the get back documentary, but there's still a lot of questions. So that's why. Yeah, the get back documentary, I think, if you're into music at all, it's just so fucking riveting to me that out of the blue, the arguably the greatest band in the world, and then you get to see, they don't know what it's their last album. They don't know what it's their last concert and how they got along. Intricate, in full color, fully mic'd. It's shocking that was just sitting there. And then everything you're seeing, they're trying to put songs together that you know now and they're doing like some, was it something that George Harrison's working on? He's like, la, la, la, la, la. Like they're not, they don't know the words yet, but you do because you know the final product. And you think, oh my God, this is really how they make it, how they put it together. And Ringo with the coolest name out there, one of the coolest names, nicknames. His name is Richard Starkey, I think that's what it is. How do you, how cool is it? I don't know how it went from Richard Starkey to Ringo Starr. I mean, it's like the greatest name transition. Somebody made a good call there because it's so much more memorable. I was gonna ask him, here's what I didn't ask him. They met Elvis and I had watched the night before that he was asked about meeting Elvis, which are two of my favorites. And he said, you know, the Beatles were going through so much up and down and so much craziness. When they met Elvis at his house, it was, they felt for him because he was going through the same thing, but there was only one of him. And there was four Beatles and they got to like share their experience and relate to each other. Like, well, at least we're all in the same hotel. Should we get out of here? Elvis was one, he had his friends, but they weren't like super talent geniuses like the Beatles were. And so I was gonna say that house I heard was way up on Hillcrest and is that the house? Cause I used to live kind of up there. And I was always told that was Elvis's house. I was like, is that the one you guys met at? Cause I was very interested. No one else would give a fat fuck. But I didn't, cause I had one left. But then when he, we kept him over 20 for sure, rudely. But he went right into a BBC. And I think that was his only other interview and we didn't see him. And I was like, shit, so great though, while we had him. To your point, the Beatles, when they came out there like exotic insects, and I didn't even get into this, but John F. Kennedy had just been assassinated and was there really kind of, and then they came out with their accents and their haircuts. And Paul McCartney said they'd be in the hotel room before it's Sullivan and they take out, we take out a little suits, you know, the little black suits we put on a little toys and said, there we are, a four headed monster. So when the Beatles would do a press conference and the press would try to be snarky, they would just go, I just got my haircut yesterday. They just completely made fun of them. They were just like rock star Marx brothers. But Elvis was up there kind of sweating and tortured by himself, well, I don't know exactly how to answer that Colonel and he had Colonel Tom Parker. So poor Elvis. Someone taking advantage of them instead of like three guys or four guys that are equal, that are all just so great in their own way. Oh, it's just then the wit. One of the press said, what's the secret to what you're doing? And Lenin said, well, if we knew we'd create a band and become their managers, you know, that is true. I mean, they were all like this and Ringo too. All of them were just snappy, funny, and anyway, it was just so great. Yeah, we have to say, we'll throw it to Ringo here, but we went to a undisclosed hotel. We were nervous. We got there. We were nervous. We walked around and then he came up and super unassuming. I didn't know, you know, in a way sometimes it's, you just don't know how to compliment people. I've heard it all and been famous this long, but you still just want to say it anyway, you know? And I made sure that I took a picture of the lyric sheet of one of the lyrics of one of the songs he wrote and said, that's a great lyric. And you would, you know, and I don't know, Ringo can't go, oh yeah, you know, it's like, anyway. But you still can't help it gush a little bit sometimes when you meet people that, you know, I was, saw him when I was eight years old playing the drums and said, that's what I'm gonna do. I see that when people walk up to me and I know they've seen Ben Schwarmer's. It's pretty much the same thing. So they were, they're nervous, they're sweating. But when, I think he just wanted to be like, oh, these guys are funny, I've seen them and stuff. And I want to do a fun one. I don't want to get like these heavy questions. I just want to go goof around. And he's a very light guy in his feet. So I think he liked the idea that it wasn't like a super serious 60 minutes grilling. No, it wasn't dark or serious. It was more inquisitive, but he gets, I think he enjoyed it. I know I did. Yeah, had a great time. So I think we can throw it to him. Here's the man in question. The guy we were all excited about, Ringo. We got to interview Paul McCartney. Oh yeah, I met him once. You know, he said that you guys used to sit down for a plonk, you know. I love the way he described. He's a plonk. He's a plonker. The humility with the catalog is so much. You guys are both very humble. Oh yes. Oh, poor Ringo. I thought the Beatles were good. I'm gonna, it's a hot tank. I'm gonna live in LA, I'm so humble. Yeah. I love LA. Are we in always recording productions? Yes, okay, good. Cause we don't have a half apple bed. We're gonna go on. So Richard Starchy. Those are, I think your tour dates. Love the album, heard everything. And I'm gonna give you a specific example of what I love. Choose, she's gone. Heartbreak. She's gone. Heartbreaking. Choose love. Another one of your comments. No matter what you choose, choose love. This is perfect. Are you guys rolling? Okay, wave of love. Gotta pay your dues if we want to sing the blues. Yeah, cause you know it don't come easy. That's not on this album. It's not on this album. It's not on this album. Do you act naturally? Was that on this album? Earlier. Yeah, much earlier. Okay. Like 68. 68? But not that early. Okay, here's a lyric that you wrote. I'm just starting with this stuff. Cause I love specific. Well, you know, T-Bone wrote most of this record. Well, I think the Long Long Road, didn't you? Long Long Road I wrote with Bruce Sugar. This is a quote, yeah. With Bruce, yeah. This is a quote from, or one of the, I guess the chorus. I don't know if you guys have choruses and stuff. Oh, anyway, don't be attached to your thoughts. Let them come in, let them go. There was a night I was on my own. I was feeling pretty low. When things have changed since you came back. Oh yeah, things have changed. Now things have changed. You came back to me without your love. I'm drowning in the deep blue sea. Which is interesting. You didn't go to a dark sea. Just deep blue. No, I went to a deep blue sea. Anyway. You know, I love oceans, but you know, it was, you know, just as you're going through life, you learn certain things. And one of them was pointed out to me years and years ago. I said, you know, let the thoughts come in. Right. But let them go out. You know, because mainly we sit around and for three days we're like, oh, you know, when I used to sit down on one seat, 25 in here. 25 people all had something to say. And now I'm getting up there, five. It's 75. And you said your playing is kind of more emotional or more in the moment or on the last album. And this one I assume. Well, I think because it's country. Yeah. You know, and I come from a very early country. Yeah. And you know, there was like the wife's left, the dog's dead, or don't have enough money for the jukebox. David, it's your life. That's from my book. Yeah. Anyway, that's, you know, that sort of bit. So, you know, I think, you know, she's gone and things happen and it's good, you know? Like all the early country singers was all like a bit of, you know, downer in it. Yeah, sure. Right. But it is very, very emotional. But yeah, it works great. The album is beautiful. Anyway, I love it because I love country, but I love the blues. I love Motown. I love, you know, Al Green. And Eddie Cochran, you know, I was asked one time, like to do that thing, the best movie, the best record, the band. We have to stop. I can't answer these questions. Right. Because I say one film and then, oh, God. I know what's. And then a record, I love a thousand records. One thing has run through my mind lately, you know, of course my Beatles, the Beatles, your Beatles. Yeah, yeah. Like, wow, is what's going on by Marvin Gaye, kind of a work of genius. It's one of the greatest songs ever. Yeah, well, for you. Well, and he sold three million. Yeah, I know. I love Marvin Gaye. Yeah. When you do. I love Johnny Ray. Yeah, of course. Did you ever hear him? Absolutely. Yeah, I did. Before your time. No, no, we go way back. He would cry. Yeah. Frankie Lane. Frankie Lane, yeah. I loved his power. So he was like, they were the last two before our groups came in. And the music started to change. Yeah. And you still have this great voice and it's very distinct and losing. Yeah. So it's all right there. And I love the mix. Right in the drums. The sound is great. It's tight. Yeah, right. So anyway, great album. Welcome to Patti's piece, Ceriere, your blind date is already at the table. And there she is. Cousin Brenda, what are you doing here? You're married anyway.

And when you do a new album and you have sort of at your fingertips, I can't imagine any musician that wouldn't want to kind of jump in with you. Do you just call people and say, hey, you want to come and jump in on this with us? When I'm doing a regular album, yeah, I call around. And but this with T-Bone, T-Bone introduced me to all the country people, you know, Molly and Belly and you know, everyone who's on it. Sure. And because last year with the other album, we did a big show. Okay. And we've got to say hi, not really hang out. So, yeah, it's been a really great experience. Billy Strings is on it. Billy Strings is on both of them. Cheryl Crowe. Good old Billy. Good old Billy. He's learning how to play the guitar. What is he now, 14? Yeah, yeah, he's a junior in high school, I think. He's on the gymnastics team. He is fast. He is like that kind of guy. So the Beatles, these are my questions. Did you ever, was there a moment early on where John and Paul would bring in a song and you kind of said, oh my God, we're working with geniuses. I mean, this is not normal. And I don't know what song it might have been. There was a moment where it was like, oh, the mop top, bop, bop, bop. And then it was like, oh, wait a minute, because it was so much. Well, I think we all changed. You know, we were these pop stars and played clubs. I played weddings, whatever. Rory and Edward Caines. Any chance you could, but Rory. And the Eddie Clayton group. I was only in three bands. So I did really well. So did the other two do really well too? Well, they did well in Liverpool. Yeah, okay. You know, that was it. And not outside. And Rory, we were like in Liverpool as the top band, but spreading ourselves a little outside. And then with the Beatles, we were big in Liverpool. And then we went way outside. Gren Nash, I got to talk to him once about you guys. I think it was 62 or three at the Cavern. And you all came in with long leather jackets. And he said that just there was a vibe in the air. Like everybody knew something special was happening. Yeah, yeah. Well, I think that was before I joined. Do you never had a long leather jacket? No. Could we get you a long leather jacket? I haven't seen you. It's a long leather jacket. You helped me wear a long bum today. I think I read you saw the other three guys and you said this is the front I want. This is a wall in front of me that is better than what I have. He knew it would be a good band. Well, I met them like, hi, how are you doing in Liverpool? And then we went to Germany and they were booked first into this other club. And we were into a club with Rory. And then the Kashmira, the guy won both of them, but it was both on the same stage. Oh, really? Weekends, we'd play eight hours between two bands. Oh, wow. But I loved the front line. Yeah. I just loved it. Was it the charm? It was now, they were great. Just great. And the harmonies were great. It was just a great feel from it. Yeah. And they, you know, in those days when Brian called to say, hello, Ringo, would you join the Beatles? I said, yeah. I said, when? He said, oh, this evening, we were playing a three month gig with Rory. I said, I can't leave them today. Gotta give them time to get another drummer. So I left Saturday. I can leave tomorrow. Everybody, all the drummers, and most of the players in those days, we all played the same songs. Right. I went on stage once and two, three bands, gig. And two of the drummers just by chance didn't turn up. So I put a jacket on and played with them, sorry. And then you came on with your band, and I just played with you. Then you came on with your band. I just didn't get up all night. There's a great interview with Paul where he mentions, I don't know if it was from the documentary in the 90s, it's just when you joined and when you kicked in, in the back, like it was just a whole other. And I can see, I often thought like, cause you have a heavy foot and heavy hands, like you have an ordinarily really big hands. Strong hands. Yeah, well look at these mix. They look big to you. Yeah, strong hands. Because you really brought that whole. But a whole of six, lightly. Yeah, but you still have power. It's all in there. Dana plays drums, so he knows more about the drum stuff than I do. I know. Not as good, obviously. Yeah, whole. No, I don't know. But he looks at it from a different lens than most people. I just love the quirkiness of the way you played. You didn't go to the splash when you think you would go to the splash. Yeah, yeah. You just got to put it, you don't do the splash, you know? This first guy to do that, you go to the floor Tom a lot on the course. I love the depth of the Tom's. That's why I always love that. And so the snare is deep. Cause I had one, I played for years, that I had a hole in it, and I just put chewing gum in it. It lasted five years, you know? Yeah. Far out. Still works. It's all so technical now, you know, just skin with a hole in it and a snare on a lot of beat of records. Are there some harder than others? Like even me, I don't play the drums, but when I play along in my card, something like Ticket to Ride, I never get it right. Like just, you know, are there certain ones that are tougher than others? They are, but you know, I was guessing. It seemed to work. Yeah. I mean, you know, if you saw that huge documentary of Peter Jackson twice, cause he found 56 hours of unused stuff. So crazy. You know, I'm sort of, I called him like a year later because on Get Back. How did I get to that sort of Marchie thing? Anyway, so he found footage and I'm like, Get Back to the It's just amazing when you did, was that naturally like 16th time or 94 beats a second? I mean, it was so fast. Yeah. And then you're singing and that's just a rare thing. Oh, that's boys. Well, boys. I'm singing. Yeah. Boys was considered hard rock to me when I was like 10 years old. My brother, I had older brothers and he said, Peter's got this new song called Boys, Reno Singing Man. It was a duck and bop. I mean, it was hard rock. But that was an old song. I know. And it was actually done by a girl band. Like a vocal group. And I just loved this. Loved it. You know, new cares and. I didn't think they were talking about boys. They're talking about boys. Yeah. I know. Oh, okay. Yeah. So I was, hey, I'm doing it anyway. Right. Sounds like you're talking. Celebrating boys. I like this song. I never knew that. Because with Rory I used to have to go saw time. So I'd have like five songs and that was one of them. So I could talk to you all day, but there's something I listened to recently that just blows my mind every time. Cause the leap between, I guess it was River Soul and Revolver in there somewhere. You did Strawberry Fields. And that last two minutes where you're doing this marching drum, and it fades away, one comes back is so magical. And I don't know if it's overdub, but it sounded like a marching band. Or. I did very little overdub. So you did it all by yourself. We just played through. I mean, the first time we'd play it would be great because we'd all be sort of like making it up. And sometimes, you know, you could sit there all year and you wouldn't have got what you just made. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's how it worked. Right. Pretty free. Beautiful. There's not any memory of mine of like, oh, you can't do that. My song, you know. I said, oh, you can do that. Oh, cool. You know, and come together. Just let me finish this. Oh, I love to hear this. Just let me finish this. So we're going to another studio just to get out of Happy Road. Yeah. And come together. And I was on drums. John was sort of sitting over there on the floor and he had the guitar and it was like, what is playing? Yeah. And so I just sort of went. Bobba de bobba de bobba. Wow. And he goes, oh. Oh, yeah. Oh my God. How cool. I never read that story. Yeah. You just surprised him with it and you just did it intuitively. Well, I hadn't done it before that minute. Don't. But we just like, you know, let's set it up and see what's happening. Wow. That's just, I saw. So it just came. The two things I'm blessed with is that I don't play a lot. Keep good time. It's all in here. Okay. Well, it's all in here actually. Oh, okay. It's all in the store. So when you win. That's a great story. I love that. That gave me the chills. And Paul. What? When you leave and you, I think you're all doing solo stuff. And you do photograph and some of these big hits. Do they call? Is it, is it, you're still talking a lot or you kind of doing your own thing, but they must have to acknowledge like, holy shit, these are rippers. Well, if you, you know, if you look at the Ringo album and the next album I did with, I just died, God bless him. Richard Patrick. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like an old style band because, you know, I've got the band, John came and played a, wrote a song and played George out to come into town. It was never planned. And oh, he's in the same town. So coming over, you know, and we act like Dr. John and half of the band. Sure. You know, it's great. I'd like to make an observation. Yeah. Is that you've been inordinately popular with your peers. You're just really popular. I mean, everybody wanted to play with you. I mean, that's kind of you are popular. Yeah, I am. And you were the anchor of the Beatles. We saw the documentary and you were kind of the, the piece in love. They were wild. Those boys crazy. To keep them steady. If they couldn't sing, you'd throw them in the trash. Yeah. Next. Well, she got, but it is, it is nice that all these years you people come to, they want to play with you. Yeah. They play on probably around about 10 people's tracks. And I send it back, you know, send the files. I do it in my kit because I know it. And I say, use me or lose me. Cause I may not have played what you wanted, you know? Sure. So I don't need ever at once. Well, like you said, they, they, they, the guys wouldn't tell you what to do and you would add it. And they'd say, this is great. That's kind of a good freedom to have. One thing that fascinates me, I'm sorry to, I'll try to be a slow down, but she's so heavy. When you guys were playing that, and then there was a complaint this on the Escher tapes from revolving, you can't, you know, got to calm down the music. They're saying this and they're like us now we have to play. So Lenin said, John, let's do one more loud. And then we'll play it softer after this, but that long jam and then all that where that song went. And you guys went into that really cool jam. And you were doing this kind of with the Tom's kind of in part. It's so fantastic. I don't know if you listen to this stuff. Well, yeah, not every day, but yeah, you know, things just happened. That's how it wasn't like, you know, they say it's your birthday as a jam. Yeah. We were just jamming it and then it turned into like a rhythm band and Paul was always great. He'd jump in, you know, he would. He was reading something in the paper about somebody's birthday and that's how it gave him the hook. You know, they say it's your birthday. Second only to happy birthday. Absolutely. It's nice to hear your rhythm section with Paul when they did the reissues and some of the remixes. Because we were listening to you guys on transistor radios in the 60s. You listen more than I do. He knows a lot. There's a lot of me and in Hollywood, a lot of us were on email text changes. Anyway, I've got a new record out. Yeah. Long, long road, which is fantastic. It's pure Ringo. I recommend you go out and buy it. Pre-saltway comes out. A lot of good tracks and T-Bone, Burnett produced it and a lot of it's done in Nashville and a lot of it's done in my studio. Wait a minute, hold on. Okay. Oh, you've got a coffee. You say it's your birthday. You know, I don't have a coffee. This is the first one. Must be on the way. There it is. Yeah, that's great. Look at how cool it is. That's hip. So you're gonna have an LP out. Yeah, long, long road. Vinyl Ringo star. There you go. Yeah. This house is in LA. It's a, well, T-Bone heard about it. We went to do the Forest with Henry Diltz and it's the craziest house you've ever been in. Where is that? This is some up the hills. Where is it? Do you remember the address? Yeah, up the hills here. Up in the hills is not knowing the address. A crazy hill. Yeah, but you know, who knew? Well, you look cool in that purple shirt, by the way. I know everybody talks about the shirt. The shirt's bigger than the record. It gets you in the building and then you'll... That's from those days, you know, that shirt. Those days? Meaning? Yeah, those all the... All those other days. Long time ago. Let me see if they put it in here too. Let's see if they did it right. No, I wanna see if they, oh no, they'll just get, oh, there it is, look, in those other days. Oh, oh, oh, okay, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Speaking of houses. But anyway, oh, everyone says, Man, love that shirt. So I say good. Yeah, really pops. You can't have it. Come on, you got four minutes. Baby don't go, baby don't go on. It's such a great song. One minute, one minute. And in the chorus you do Tom Tom's. Yeah. So you're back full circle. And they're perfect. Yeah, you know, I do, you know, it's no big plan. You send me the song, I'll sit behind the kids and I'll listen to it once and never play it. I usually now do two takes, because that's enough. It's got it all there. So sometimes, you know, when we do the verse and we get to the chorus, okay, I'll do it that way. And then when we get to the next chorus, you know, I may come in like a beat late or earlier or whatever happens in here. And I've never been able to, you know, oh, double that. You know, double what I did. I can't do that. I do it at the moment of the emotion. It's weird, but I just cannot do it twice the same. I can do this old. If there he is. Let's fingerprint him. Yeah. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I mean, it tomorrow never knows. I guess it's legendary. Yeah, legendary. You're a very humble man. But you couldn't make a mistake and they have to start over, right? Yeah. I mean, it's kind of extra, extra. Yeah, well, we didn't so lucky. I mean, that's the drag really with some of those reissues. Like they'll say, oh, take nine. So, you know, everyone thinks that it's that long. Well, usually like take nine with two, three, four. Oh, one, two, three. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, come on in. They only got as far as the count is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was lighting a cigarette or something. I don't know. Well, you're all star band. I've seen it in the past. I'll see it again. You're on tour starting pretty soon. We're not the Greek. The Greek here in the lake. You know, so we started Humphreys. I love that gig. I've played there a lot. I've played a lot. Great gig. I love that gig. I love it. And I shouted the guys in the yachts. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tied bastards, wouldn't even buy a ticket. Oh, they come in and listen. That's right. Gamma in Arizona where I'm from. I still like to be with the audience. Yeah. Well, that's a tight little amphitheater. You think there's no roof, but it just feels very good. Yeah, it's good. I'm gonna play it in November if you're around, you know. Are you going to Humphreys? I'm gonna play Humphreys in November. You're booking already for November. You're here all the way up for November? Well, it was kind of like these other days didn't work. In November, it's kind of outdoors. It might be cold and I said, how was it? Let's do it. Let's go and do it. Yeah, I do. Rain or storms, I don't care. You don't care. Rain goes play. And I tell everybody, if there's three people turn up to see us, we'll play. I've experienced that. And one of the all-star bands, we were playing Denver. And the monitors went out. Every one of them, well, we can't play. I said, what? What do you mean you can't play? We'll have to listen to the amps and listen to what people are doing. And we did the show. I'm not stopping just because you can't hear the monitor. Because everyone has a different monitor these days. Anyway, we played the gig and to a man, they said, oh, that was great. You never know. Sometimes the monitors can throw you off. If they're too loud, then you don't push it. Anyway, I know you have to go, but one last question. No, I have a question. You have to go, but it's been good seeing you guys. It's great to talk to you. Good luck with your album, Long, Long Road. What do you play? I don't. It's mumble jokes. Okay. He plays with girls. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Peace and love.
