 Yes, we are here and I'm happy to be back doing this because I'm with what pal Jack Curry and we're going to talk nothing but music JC how you feeling about that. I absolutely love every aspect of this first of all you and I get to reunite because we're waiting for that next pre game post game that we get to do and we know that's coming everybody stays smart and strong out there we know those days are coming but absolutely. Absolutely. They did not Eric our producer did not have to twist my arm when he sent out an email and said you want to do a show and talk about music. Yes, right in my wheelhouse. You mentioned reunited and it feels so good peaches and herb coming at you hot right out of the game so. Kenny singleton that you're writing Kenny singleton. That's where we start. Hey, I want to let everybody know so I love music but Jack loves loves loves music and deep passionate love of tons of genres. His knowledge is incredible so I want to start it there because I want to know how did it start for you. My brother's a couple years older than me and he if you think I know a lot about music or that I have a passion for music. I love music multiply it by two or three and that's where he is so growing up in the same bedroom in Jersey City. I would hear my brother put the latest album on and I would be interested who was that Oh that's Elvis Costello then it would be the next album who's that that's the jam. Okay, I want to listen to those guys. Then it was the clash or the Ramones. And of course since we were from New Jersey, you idolized Bruce Springsteen that was the first concert I ever went to sing springsteen. But I was a I became a real new wave punk guy Bob. That's why I mentioned Clash, the Ramones, B-52s, Talking Heads, U2, the Smiths, the Peche Mode, the Cure. Those are the bands that kind of define my teenage years and it's my college years. And to be honest with you, even until today that's the music that I still turn to first when I want something to just sort of soothe me or calm me down. What's the ride home music you've told me about on Sirius XM? What's the channel? Yeah, I listened to first wave. That would be my first choice on Sirius XM. But then in my eyes, if Jack Curry was 22 years old today and gosh, I wish I were the channel I would probably be choosing first is alternation because they play the most current alternative music. So I'll go to them second. There's another Sirius channel called XMU. That's kind of your college radio, little under the radar stuff. So that's that's what I go for. But what's interesting, I'm going to turn this around on you is when you and I will go for a little food pickup after the pregame. Bob Lorenz looks so buttoned up, right? And he's got the tie, the square is perfect. Get into his car. And what's blasting Bob usually? Probably some kind of either country or heavy rock. The country can be soothing. You're blowing my ears off sometimes with some sort of scorching, I don't know, incubus or Allison chains, something like that. Yeah, little five finger death punch, maybe three days grace. Yeah, that's that's kind of my workout music. But I like listening to that too when I'm coming into work kind of gets me going gets my juices blowing so gets me fired up. You know, first of all, I want to just say one thing, this shirt was a conscious choice. I want to take you back to that Nirvana grunge in the 90s with the flannel Seattle. I like that I almost wore a music t-shirt today, but I wanted to dress up because I knew you'd be dressed up. And I've done these baseball card opening routines with Kevin Sullivan that I just kind of do on Twitter. And I've worn music t-shirts for those. So I don't want to I don't want to overdo the music t-shirts, but I like that shirt a lot that you wear. Thanks. Hey, so I prepped for this by thinking back to because I haven't really put a lot of thought into my musical roots and everything. But I do remember growing up went on a trip to Minneapolis. It was a family trip and our cousins had just gotten the Carol King tapestry cassette. And they just wore that thing out. We listen to that. That was the first cassette that I ever bought when I got back to Southern California. So that's his start. And then I also thought my brother at one point because we stayed in the same room as well. He bought a Kenwood receiver. The turntable, the whole thing started listening to Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult, Beatles, Kansas, that kind of stuff. And then my sisters had things like Elton John, the Ronstadt, Bread. So like, so that's where I think I get my spectrum of music. Why I like so many genres. Carol King, let's go back to that. From that cassette. Did you ever end up going to see the Broadway play? Beautiful. The Broadway musical. You saw it though, right? It was terrific. And I was pleasantly surprised by how much of her music I knew. I would never have called myself a Carol King fan. After that musical, you can't help but being a fan of her music. You didn't realize all of the songs that she had either written or performed. So I will see your Carol King with this. This is embarrassing. Well, half of it's embarrassing. Verse 245's I ever purchased. It was at a, what is it called? Is it a Sears or Woolworth? Woolworth, I forget. Some score I went with my mom. I bought a Barracuda by heart. I'll stand behind that. That's strong. And I bought Dadoo Ron Ron by Sean Cassidy. Hey, that was big at the time. That's all the matters. That's embarrassing. I think I wanted to impress some sixth grade or seventh grade girls or something. Hey, have you heard the new 45 by Sean Cassidy? Wow. What's one of the first concerts you really remember? A few that stand out to me that I went to. I didn't really think about it at the time. It was just fun to go. I did see Linda Ronstadt in concert back before in LA. Eagles. I saw them. I mentioned this to you and Joy the other day. I saw the knack when they were hot for a cup of coffee with my Chirona. So those are three that I saw. What about you? Well, people think I'm lying when I say this. I told you earlier, going up in New Jersey, it's Bruce Springsteen country. And I am a huge fan of Springsteen. My musical tastes have also maneuvered in different directions so that there's other styles of music I like. But a buddy in my, Michael Winstanley, he and I, you had to put a self-addressed stamped envelope, mail it to Madison Square Garden and try and get Bruce Springsteen tickets. Now, what are the odds that the two of us would, we both got tickets to see Springsteen. So the first concert I ever saw, not only was it a Springsteen show, but I got fourth row orchestra seats. Unbelievable. So I guess I was 15 years old, saw Springsteen at Madison Square Garden, and I was even mature enough at that point to know who he was and who I believed that he was becoming and saying, you're starting off at a pretty high level here. You're supposed to go see somebody in a park somewhere that maybe had one hit or something like that. So that Springsteen show really stands out. And then you know me. I love The Clash. They've been my favorite band forever. I think they were a band that spoke to people. I think that their music had a purpose. And I went with my brother to see The Clash once and towards the end of the show, being rambunctious, we climbed onto the stage. Now, the band was already fleeing. They were already done with their encore. So at that point, the bouncers didn't care. There was really nothing to steal or anything. But I always like to tell people in 1981 at Bond's Casino was the name of the place. It's still there on 45th Street. I was able to climb on the same stage that The Clash performed on. I do want to get back to the Springsteen because first ever at 15, and you were front row, you were in the belly of the beast right there. That had to be surreal for you. Like you'd never been in that kind of environment before, right? It was phenomenal. And you're right. We were kids. It was my buddy, him, his brother and his sister. His sister was a little older. So at least we had somebody who was mature there. But people because of our seats, people were trying to move in and move down a little and like, wait, that's my seat. You had to learn a little bit about some toughness and a little bit of concert etiquette and all that. So yeah, we absolutely learned that. And I still haven't blazoned in my mind being so close to Springsteen, especially when he kind of toned it down and did something a little softer, did a ballad or something like that. And one time at Spring Training, you and I drove over to downtown Tampa and we saw... We saw Bruce Springsteen. Yeah, that's the first time I've ever seen him. Probably because he does this every time. I'm sure it was a three plus hour show. And we had a lot of fun that night. That's right. That was awesome. That was great. So I'm thinking back to eras. And obviously I think because when I was in high school, it was that late 70s, 80s. I love 80s music and I know you love so much. Can you pin down one era that you love? Would it be that time of like the clash in the 70s and 80s? I consider the clash. They crept into the 80s. They started in the 70s. But I mean, the 80s are most of my teenage years. And I know there are some music historians who rip on the 80s. But no, I would say that I'm an 80s guy for sure. And I mean, I think back to you two, the Ramones. I've mentioned the clash, talking heads. I mean, to me, there are bands like that that were incredibly impactful at that time. You know about my radio DJ history for about a seven or eight month period. Won't mention my on air name. But I wrote down just a couple names as we wrap this up, Jack, just a couple songs. Heart and Soul to Pow. I've told you about that. Played that. Don't disturb this groove by the system. Get out of my dreams, get into my car, billy ocean. And the one I've never mentioned to you, because I think all those other ones are funny, but he was like iconic from that time, never going to give you up. Rick Astley. How's that for not that one? That is fantastic. And then the video, you got to watch the video of Rick Astley and then how then people started to Rick roll people. Do you know what that is? Yes, yeah. Go on YouTube and see somebody getting Rick rolled. Do you think you're about to watch something else? And then all of a sudden you get Rick Astley and I'm not going to do it. But he had the raincoat, the trench coat on the pompadour. This is great. I love this. Jack, by the way, speaking of that, if as this continues now and we have more social distancing and places aren't open, you and I are going to have those pompadours in terms of haircuts. But we don't, yeah. I've got a lot of gel. I've got a lot of gel holding this down right now. We're not leaving the house. Unless you have some shears, it's going to stay the way it is. All right, Jack, good seeing you. Good talking to you as always. We'll talk again soon. Let's hope we can do the music thing again soon, but we have so many topics to cover. I just want to remind all our friends out there, keep doing what you're doing. The social distancing seems to be working pretty well. Let's get over that hump and flatten that curve. Keep washing your hands, doing everything that you're doing. And Jack, I know even when you take daily runs, you're out there doing the right thing and staying safe. Absolutely. I concur with everything that Bob just said. And one little note, if you're getting bored, dig up your favorite musicians, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter. I would almost guarantee you that he or she might be doing a live stream of music. That's one thing that has helped carry me through this quarantine period. How many musicians who are out there performing and it's online and it's there for you to find it. And that is just one thing to help you get through all of this. And one last thing, even if you're not bored, we're doing Twitter takeovers. John Flaherty did one on Yes Network this morning. Tonight at 7 o'clock, David Cohn and our boss, John J. Philippelli, are going to talk about 1996 Game 6 World Series. Jack, that should be awesome. I was following Flash's tweets this morning and they were great because it was Flash. It was just him. You can tell you and I worked with him so much that you could just see him giving you some of it was critical. Some of it was deadpan. Some of it was rooting for his team and absolutely the Coney and Flip one should be terrific tonight too. All right, check that out guys. We'll see you again soon. Take care.
