Mike,
Such a serious show. But a good one. I, like Scott, have never, ever had a problem with my old man. I love him like crazy and always have. He has been a great influence on everyone around him, although some of those folks weren't smart enough to be like him.
First of all, I really liked the Springsteen clip you played, but 3 lines, one each from 3 of the songs you played, stood out to me:
The first one, you actually quoted on the show. I had jotted it down while listening, "I've never asked you to be more like me". How freakin' true is that?
Number two comes from Mr. Wainright. "Your startin' up and I'm winding down". Don't really know why, but I love that lyric.
Lastly, courtesy of Cat Stevens. "From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen". Wow. That is extremely insightful, 'cause that's exactly what happens. And, I've heard this song on XM recently, because I remember hearing that line recently and thinking how true it was.
Anyway, superb show, about to listen to part 5.
Hey Mike! My apologies for disappearing on your last couple of shows. I'm starting a new job next week and have been transitioning from my last job and all the pre-employment work, blah blah blah...
Love the opening clip, the voice inflections remind me of the typical over-acting that was done in the 40's - 50's theater. Cracks me up! "GET OFF MY BACK! ... Dad, Dad, I love you!" hahahahaha.
Nice transition into the first track too! Really really nice! First time Ive ever heard it, loved it! And I know nothing of the artist.
Im not a Springsteen fan at all really... But I loved the backing acoutic on the rap, the beginning of it sounded very much like some older Suypertramp melody, cant' quite place it, but its what came to mind until he started talking.
I am thankful that I don't know dramatic conflict with my Father, I had a great one and an even better relationship with him. I feel bad for those who did though, I can hear pain in some of thesew tracks, and I guess thats the point, right?
Great show Mike!
