Transcript Before we begin, a brief warning – this episode contains brief mentions of suicide, alcoholism, abortion, and heroin addiction, and a brief excerpt of chanting of a Nazi slogan. If you find those subjects upsetting, you may want to read the transcript rather than listen. As we heard in the last part, in October 1967 Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman fired David Crosby from the Byrds. It was only many years later, in a conversation with the group's ex-manager Jim Dickson, that Crosby realised that they didn't actually have a legal right to fire him -- the Byrds had no partnership agreement, and according to Dickson given that the original group had been Crosby, McGuinn, and Gene Clark, it would have been possible for Crosby and McGuinn to fire Hillman, but not for McGuinn and Hillman to fire Crosby. But Crosby was unaware of this at the time, and accepted a pay-off, with which he bought a boat and sailed to Florida, where saw a Canadian singer-songwriter performing live: [Excerpt: Joni Mitchell, "Both Sides Now (live Ann Arbor, MI, 27/10/67)"] We'll find out what happened when David Crosby brought Joni Mitchell back to California in a future story... With Crosby gone, the group had a major problem. They were known for two things -- their jangly twelve-string guitar and their soaring harmonies. They still had the twelve-string, even in their new slimmed-down trio format, but they only had two of their four vocalists -- and while McGuinn had sung lead on most of their hits, the sound of the Byrds' harmony had been defined by Crosby on the high harmonies and Gene Clark's baritone. There was an obvious solution available, of course, and they took it. Gene Clark had quit the Byrds in large part because of his conflicts with David Crosby, and had remained friendly with the others. Clark's solo album had featured Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke, and had been produced by Gary Usher who was now producing the Byrds' records, and it had been a flop and he was at a loose end. After recording the Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers album, Clark had started work with Curt Boettcher, a singer-songwriter-producer who had produced hits for Tommy Roe and the Association, and who was currently working with Gary Usher. Boettcher produced two tracks for Clark, but they went unreleased: [Excerpt: Gene Clark, "Only Colombe"] That had been intended as the start of sessions for an album, but Clark had been dropped by Columbia rather than getting to record a second album. He had put together a touring band with guitarist Clarence White, bass player John York, and session drummer "Fast" Eddie Hoh, but hadn't played many gigs, and while he'd been demoing songs for a possible second solo album he didn't have a record deal to use them on. Chisa Records, a label co-owned by Larry Spector, Peter Fonda, and Hugh Masekela, had put out some promo copies of one track, "Yesterday, Am I Right", but hadn't released it properly: [Excerpt: Gene Clark, "Yesterday, Am I Right"] Clark, like the Byrds, had left Dickson and Tickner's management organisation and signed with Larry Spector, and Spector was wanting to make the most of his artists -- and things were very different for the Byrds now. Clark had had three main problems with being in the Byrds -- ego clashes with David Crosby, the stresses of being a pop star with a screaming teenage fanbase, and his fear of flying. Clark had really wanted to have the same kind of role in the Byrds that Brian Wilson had with the Beach Boys -- appear on the records, write songs, do TV appearances, maybe play local club gigs, but not go on tour playing to screaming fans. But now David Crosby was out of the group and there were no screaming fans any more -- the Byrds weren't having the kind of pop hits they'd had a few years earlier and were now playing to the hippie audience. Clark promised that with everything else being different, he could cope with the idea of flying -- if necessary he'd just take tranquilisers or get so drunk he passed out. So Gene Clark rejoined the Byrds. According to some sources he sang on their next single, "Goin' Back," though I don't hear his voice in the mix: [Excerpt: The Byrds, "Goin' Back"] According to McGuinn, Clark was also an uncredited co-writer on one song on the album they were recording, "Get to You". But before sessions had gone very far, the group went on tour. They appeared on the Smothers Brothers TV show, miming their new single and "Mr. Spaceman", and Clark seemed in good spirits, but on the tour of the Midwest that followed, according to their road manager of the time, Clark was terrified, singing flat and playing badly, and his guitar and vocal mic were left out of the mix. And then it came time to get on a plane, and Clark's old fears came back, and he refused to fly from Minneapolis to New York with the rest of the group, instead getting a train back to LA. And that was the end of Clark's second stint in the Byrds. For the moment, the Byrds decided they were going to continue as a trio on stage and a duo in the studio -- though Michael Clarke did make an occasional return to the sessions as they progressed. But of course, McGuinn and Hillman couldn't record an album entirely by themselves. They did have several tracks in a semi-completed state still featuring Crosby, but they needed people to fill his vocal and instrumental roles on the remaining tracks. For the vocals, Usher brought in his friend and collaborator Curt Boettcher, with whom he was also working at the time in a band called Sagittarius: [Excerpt: Sagittarius, "Another Time"] Boettcher was a skilled harmony vocalist -- according to Usher, he was one of the few vocal arrangers that Brian Wilson looked up to, and Jerry Yester had said of the Modern Folk Quartet that “the only vocals that competed with us back then was Curt Boettcher's group” -- and he was more than capable of filling Crosby's vocal gap, but there was never any real camaraderie between him and the Byrds. He particularly disliked McGuinn, who he said "was just such a poker face. He never let you know where you stood. There was never any lightness," and he said of the sessions as a whole "I was really thrilled to be working with The Byrds, and, at the same time, I was glad when it was all over. There was just no fun, and they were such weird guys to work with. They really freaked me out!" Someone else who Usher brought in, who seems to have made a better impression, was Red Rhodes: [Excerpt: Red Rhodes, "Red's Ride"] Rhodes was a pedal steel player, and one of the few people to make a career on the instrument outside pure country music, which is the genre with which the instrument is usually identified. Rhodes was a country player, but he was the country pedal steel player of choice for musicians from the pop and folk-rock worlds. He worked with Usher and Boettcher on albums by Sagittarius and the Millennium, and played on records by Cass Elliot, Carole King, the Beach Boys, and the Carpenters, among many others -- though he would be best known for his longstanding association with Michael Nesmith of the Monkees, playing on most of Nesmith's recordings from 1968 through 1992. Someone else who was associated with the Monkees was Moog player Paul Beaver, who we talked about in the episode on "Hey Jude", and who had recently played on the Monkees' Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd album: [Excerpt: The Monkees, "Star Collector"] And the fourth person brought in to help the group out was someone who was already familiar to them. Clarence White was, like Red Rhodes, from the country world -- he'd started out in a bluegrass group called the Kentucky Colonels: [Excerpt: The Kentucky Colonels, "Clinch Mountain Backstep"] But White had gone electric and formed one of the first country-rock bands, a group named Nashville West, as well as becoming a popular session player. He had already played on a couple of tracks on Younger Than Yesterday, as well as playing with Hillman and Michael Clarke on Gene Clark's album with the Gosdin Brothers and being part of Clark's touring band with John York and "Fast" Eddie Hoh. The album that the group put together with these session players was a triumph of sequencing and production. Usher had recently been keen on the idea of crossfading tracks into each other, as the Beatles had on Sgt Pepper, and had done the same on the two Chad and Jeremy albums he produced. By clever crossfading and mixing, Usher managed to create something that had the feel of being a continuous piece, despite being the product of several very different creative minds, with Usher's pop sensibility and arrangement ideas being the glue that held everything together. McGuinn was interested in sonic experimentation. He, more than any of the others, seems to have been the one who was most pushing for them to use the Moog, and he continued his interest in science fiction, with a song, "Space Odyssey", inspired by the Arthur C. Clarke short story "The Sentinel", which was also the inspiration for the then-forthcoming film 2001: A Space Odyssey: [Excerpt: The Byrds, "Space Odyssey"] Then there was Chris Hillman, who was coming up with country material like "Old John Robertson": [Excerpt: The Byrds, "Old John Robertson"] And finally there was David Crosby. Even though he'd been fired from the group, both McGuinn and Hillman didn't see any problem with using the songs he had already contributed. Three of the album's eleven songs are compositions that are primarily by Crosby, though they're all co-credited to either Hillman or both Hillman and McGuinn. Two of those songs are largely unchanged from Crosby's original vision, just finished off by the rest of the group after his departure, but one song is rather different: [Excerpt: The Byrds, "Draft Morning"] "Draft Morning" was a song that was important to Crosby, and was about his -- and the group's -- feelings about the draft and the ongoing Vietnam War. It was a song that had meant a lot to him, and he'd been part of the recording for the backing track. But when it came to doing the final vocals, McGuinn and Hillman had a problem -- they couldn't remember all the words to the song, and obviously there was no way they were going to get Crosby to give them the original lyrics. So they rewrote it, coming up with new lyrics where they couldn't remember the originals: [Excerpt: The Byrds, "Draft Morning"] But there was one other contribution to the track that was very distinctively the work of Usher. Gary Usher had a predilection at this point for putting musique concrete sections in otherwise straightforward pop songs. He'd done it with "Fakin' It" by Simon and Garfunkel, on which he did uncredited production work, and did it so often that it became something of a signature of records on Columbia in 1967 and 68, even being copied by his friend Jim Guercio on "Susan" by the Buckinghams. Usher had done this, in particular, on the first two singles by Sagittarius, his project with Curt Boettcher. In particular, the second Sagittarius single, "Hotel Indiscreet", had had a very jarring section (and a warning here, this contains some brief chanting of a Nazi slogan): [Excerpt: Sagittarius, "Hotel Indiscreet"] That was the work of a comedy group that Usher had discovered and signed to Columbia. The Firesign Theatre were so named because, like Usher, they were all interested in astrology, and they were all "fire signs".  Usher was working on their first album, Waiting For The Electrician or Someone Like Him, at the same time as he was working on the Byrds album: [Excerpt: The Firesign Theatre, "W.C. Fields Forever"] And he decided to bring in the Firesigns to contribute to "Draft Morning": [Excerpt: The Byrds, "Draft Morning"] Crosby was, understandably, apoplectic when he heard the released version of "Draft Morning". As far as Hillman and McGuinn were concerned, it was always a Byrds song, and just because Crosby had left the band didn't mean they couldn't use material he'd written for the Byrds. Crosby took a different view, saying later "It was one of the sleaziest things they ever did. I had an entire song finished. They just casually rewrote it and decided to take half the credit. How's that? Without even asking me. I had a finished song, entirely mine. I left. They did the song anyway. They rewrote it and put it in their names. And mine was better. They just took it because they didn't have enough songs." What didn't help was that the publicity around the album, titled The Notorious Byrd Brothers minimised Crosby's contributions. Crosby is on five of the eleven tracks -- as he said later, "I'm all over that album, they just didn't give me credit. I played, I sang, I wrote, I even played bass on one track, and they tried to make out that I wasn't even on it, that they could be that good without me." But the album, like earlier Byrds albums, didn't have credits saying who played what, and the cover only featured McGuinn, Hillman, and Michael Clarke in the photo -- along with a horse, which Crosby took as another insult, as representing him. Though as McGuinn said, "If we had intended to do that, we would have turned the horse around". Even though Michael Clarke was featured on the cover, and even owned the horse that took Crosby's place, by the time the album came out he too had been fired. Unlike Crosby, he went quietly and didn't even ask for any money. According to McGuinn, he was increasingly uninterested in being in the band -- suffering from depression, and missing the teenage girls who had been the group's fans a year or two earlier. He gladly stopped being a Byrd, and went off to work in a hotel instead. In his place came Hillman's cousin, Kevin Kelley, fresh out of a band called the Rising Sons: [Excerpt: The Rising Sons, "Take a Giant Step"] We've mentioned the Rising Sons briefly in some previous episodes, but they were one of the earliest LA folk-rock bands, and had been tipped to go on to greater things -- and indeed, many of them did, though not as part of the Rising Sons. Jesse Lee Kincaid, the least well-known of the band, only went on to release a couple of singles and never had much success, but his songs were picked up by other acts -- his "Baby You Come Rollin' 'Cross My Mind" was a minor hit for the Peppermint Trolley Company: [Excerpt: The Peppermint Trolley Company, "Baby You Come Rollin' 'Cross My Mind"] And Harry Nilsson recorded Kincaid's "She Sang Hymns Out of Tune": [Excerpt: Harry Nilsson, "She Sang Hymns Out of Tune"] But Kincaid was the least successful of the band members, and most of the other members are going to come up in future episodes of the podcast -- bass player Gary Marker played for a while with Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band, lead singer Taj Mahal is one of the most respected blues singers of the last sixty years, original drummer Ed Cassidy went on to form the progressive rock band Spirit, and lead guitarist Ry Cooder went on to become one of the most important guitarists in rock music. Kelley had been the last to join the Rising Sons, replacing Cassidy but he was in the band by the time they released their one single, a version of Rev. Gary Davis' "Candy Man" produced by Terry Melcher, with Kincaid on lead vocals: [Excerpt: The Rising Sons, "Candy Man"] That hadn't been a success, and the group's attempt at a follow-up, the Goffin and King song "Take a Giant Step", which we heard earlier, was blocked from release by Columbia as being too druggy -- though there were no complaints when the Monkees released their version as the B-side to "Last Train to Clarksville". The Rising Sons, despite being hugely popular as a live act, fell apart without ever releasing a second single. According to Marker, Mahal realised that he would be better off as a solo artist, but also Columbia didn't know how to market a white group with a Black lead vocalist (leading to Kincaid singing lead on their one released single, and producer Terry Melcher trying to get Mahal to sing more like a white singer on "Take a Giant Step"), and some in the band thought that Terry Melcher was deliberately trying to sink their career because they refused to sign to his publishing company. After the band split up, Marker and Kelley had formed a band called Fusion, which Byrds biographer Johnny Rogan describes as being a jazz-fusion band, presumably because of their name. Listening to the one album the group recorded, it is in fact more blues-rock, very like the music Marker made with the Rising Sons and Captain Beefheart. But Kelley's not on that album, because before it was recorded he was approached by his cousin Chris Hillman and asked to join the Byrds. At the time, Fusion were doing so badly that Kelley had to work a day job in a clothes shop, so he was eager to join a band with a string of hits who were just about to conclude a lucrative renegotiation of their record contract -- a renegotiation which may have played a part in McGuinn and Hillman firing Crosby and Clarke, as they were now the only members on the new contracts. The choice of Kelley made a lot of sense. He was mostly just chosen because he was someone they knew and they needed a drummer in a hurry -- they needed someone new to promote The Notorious Byrd Brothers and didn't have time to go through a laborious process of audtioning, and so just choosing Hillman's cousin made sense, but Kelley also had a very strong, high voice, and so he could fill in the harmony parts that Crosby had sung, stopping the new power-trio version of the band from being *too* thin-sounding in comparison to the five-man band they'd been not that much earlier. The Notorious Byrd Brothers was not a commercial success -- it didn't even make the top forty in the US, though it did in the UK -- to the presumed chagrin of Columbia, who'd just paid a substantial amount of money for this band who were getting less successful by the day. But it was, though, a gigantic critical success, and is generally regarded as the group's creative pinnacle. Robert Christgau, for example, talked about how LA rather than San Francisco was where the truly interesting music was coming from, and gave guarded praise to Captain Beefheart, Van Dyke Parks, and the Fifth Dimension (the vocal group, not the Byrds album) but talked about three albums as being truly great -- the Beach Boys' Wild Honey, Love's Forever Changes, and The Notorious Byrd Brothers. (He also, incidentally, talked about how the two songs that Crosby's new discovery Joni Mitchell had contributed to a Judy Collins album were much better than most folk music, and how he could hardly wait for her first album to come out). And that, more or less, was the critical consensus about The Notorious Byrd Brothers -- that it was, in Christgau's words "simply the best album the Byrds have ever recorded" and that "Gone are the weak--usually folky--tracks that have always flawed their work." McGuinn, though, thought that the album wasn't yet what he wanted. He had become particularly excited by the potentials of the Moog synthesiser -- an instrument that Gary Usher also loved -- during the recording of the album, and had spent a lot of time experimenting with it, coming up with tracks like the then-unreleased "Moog Raga": [Excerpt: The Byrds, "Moog Raga"] And McGuinn had a concept for the next Byrds album -- a concept he was very excited about. It was going to be nothing less than a grand sweeping history of American popular music. It was going to be a double album -- the new contract said that they should deliver two albums a year to Columbia, so a double album made sense -- and it would start with Appalachian folk music, go through country, jazz, and R&B, through the folk-rock music the Byrds had previously been known for, and into Moog experimentation. But to do this, the Byrds needed a keyboard player. Not only would a keyboard player help them fill out their thin onstage sound, if they got a jazz keyboardist, then they could cover the jazz material in McGuinn's concept album idea as well. So they went out and looked for a jazz piano player, and happily Larry Spector was managing one. Or at least, Larry Spector was managing someone who *said* he was a jazz pianist. But Gram Parsons said he was a lot of things... [Excerpt: Gram Parsons, "Brass Buttons (1965 version)"] Gram Parsons was someone who had come from a background of unimaginable privilege. His maternal grandfather was the owner of a Florida citrus fruit and real-estate empire so big that his mansion was right in the centre of what was then Florida's biggest theme park -- built on land he owned. As a teenager, Parsons had had a whole wing of his parents' house to himself, and had had servants to look after his every need, and as an adult he had a trust fund that paid him a hundred thousand dollars a year -- which in 1968 dollars would be equivalent to a little under nine hundred thousand in today's money. Two events in his childhood had profoundly shaped the life of young Gram. The first was in February 1956, when he went to see a new singer who he'd heard on the radio, and who according to the local newspaper had just recorded a new song called "Heartburn Motel".  Parsons had tried to persuade his friends that this new singer was about to become a big star -- one of his friends had said "I'll wait til he becomes famous!" As it turned out, the day Parsons and the couple of friends he did manage to persuade to go with him saw Elvis Presley was also the day that "Heartbreak Hotel" entered the Billboard charts at number sixty-eight. But even at this point, Elvis was an obvious star and the headliner of the show. Young Gram was enthralled -- but in retrospect he was more impressed by the other acts he saw on the bill. That was an all-star line-up of country musicians, including Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters, and especially the Louvin Brothers, arguably the greatest country music vocal duo of all time: [Excerpt: The Louvin Brothers, "The Christian Life"] Young Gram remained mostly a fan of rockabilly music rather than country, and would remain so for another decade or so, but a seed had been planted. The other event, much more tragic, was the death of his father. Both Parsons' parents were functioning alcoholics, and both by all accounts were unfaithful to each other, and their marriage was starting to break down. Gram's father was also, by many accounts, dealing with what we would now call post-traumatic stress disorder from his time serving in the second world war. On December the twenty-third 1958, Gram's father died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Everyone involved seems sure it was suicide, but it was officially recorded as natural causes because of the family's wealth and prominence in the local community. Gram's Christmas present from his parents that year was a reel-to-reel tape recorder, and according to some stories I've read his father had left a last message on a tape in the recorder, but by the time the authorities got to hear it, it had been erased apart from the phrase "I love you, Gram." After that Gram's mother's drinking got even worse, but in most ways his life still seemed charmed, and the descriptions of him as a teenager are about what you'd expect from someone who was troubled, with a predisposition to addiction, but who was also unbelievably wealthy, good-looking, charming, and talented. And the talent was definitely there. One thing everyone is agreed on is that from a very young age Gram Parsons took his music seriously and was determined to make a career as a musician. Keith Richards later said of him "Of the musicians I know personally (although Otis Redding, who I didn't know, fits this too), the two who had an attitude towards music that was the same as mine were Gram Parsons and John Lennon. And that was: whatever bag the business wants to put you in is immaterial; that's just a selling point, a tool that makes it easier. You're going to get chowed into this pocket or that pocket because it makes it easier for them to make charts up and figure out who's selling. But Gram and John were really pure musicians. All they liked was music, and then they got thrown into the game." That's not the impression many other people have of Parsons, who is almost uniformly described as an incessant self-promoter, and who from his teens onwards would regularly plant fake stories about himself in the local press, usually some variant of him having been signed to RCA records. Most people seem to think that image was more important to him than anything. In his teens, he started playing in a series of garage bands around Florida and Georgia, the two states in which he was brought up. One of his early bands was largely created by poaching the rhythm section who were then playing with Kent Lavoie, who later became famous as Lobo and had hits like "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo". Lavoie apparently held a grudge -- decades later he would still say that Parsons couldn't sing or play or write. Another musician on the scene with whom Parsons associated was Bobby Braddock, who would later go on to co-write songs like "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" for Tammy Wynette, and the song "He Stopped Loving Her Today", often considered the greatest country song ever written, for George Jones: [Excerpt: George Jones, "He Stopped Loving Her Today"] Jones would soon become one of Parsons' musical idols, but at this time he was still more interested in being Elvis or Little Richard. We're lucky enough to have a 1962 live recording of one of his garage bands, the Legends -- the band that featured the bass player and drummer he'd poached from Lobo. They made an appearance on a local TV show and a friend with a tape recorder recorded it off the TV and decades later posted it online. Of the four songs in that performance, two are R&B covers -- Little Richard's "Rip It Up" and Ray Charles' "What'd I Say?", and a third is the old Western Swing classic "Guitar Boogie Shuffle". But the interesting thing about the version of "Rip it Up" is that it's sung in an Everly Brothers style harmony, and the fourth song is a recording of the Everlys' "Let It Be Me". The Everlys were, of course, hugely influenced by the Louvin Brothers, who had so impressed young Gram six years earlier, and in this performance you can hear for the first time the hints of the style that Parsons would make his own a few years later: [Excerpt: Gram Parsons and the Legends, "Let it Be Me"] Incidentally, the other guitarist in the Legends, Jim Stafford, also went on to a successful musical career, having a top five hit in the seventies with "Spiders & Snakes": [Excerpt: Jim Stafford, "Spiders & Snakes"] Soon after that TV performance though, like many musicians of his generation, Parsons decided to give up on rock and roll, and instead to join a folk group. The group he joined, The Shilos, were a trio who were particularly influenced by the Journeymen, John Phillips' folk group before he formed the Mamas and the Papas, which we talked about in the episode on "San Francisco". At various times the group expanded with the addition of some female singers, trying to capture something of the sound of the New Chrisy Minstrels. In 1964, with the band members still in school, the Shilos decided to make a trip to Greenwich Village and see if they could make the big time as folk-music stars. They met up with John Phillips, and Parsons stayed with John and Michelle Phillips in their home in New York -- this was around the time the two of them were writing "California Dreamin'". Phillips got the Shilos an audition with Albert Grossman, who seemed eager to sign them until he realised they were still schoolchildren just on a break. The group were, though, impressive enough that he was interested, and we have some recordings of them from a year later which show that they were surprisingly good for a bunch of teenagers: [Excerpt: The Shilos, "The Bells of Rhymney"] Other than Phillips, the other major connection that Parsons made in New York was the folk singer Fred Neil, who we've talked about occasionally before. Neil was one of the great songwriters of the Greenwich Village scene, and many of his songs became successful for others -- his "Dolphins" was recorded by Tim Buckley, most famously his "Everybody's Talkin'" was a hit for Harry Nilsson, and he wrote "Another Side of This Life" which became something of a standard -- it was recorded by the Animals and the Lovin' Spoonful, and Jefferson Airplane, as well as recording the song, included it in their regular setlists, including at Monterey: [Excerpt: Jefferson Airplane, "The Other Side of This Life (live at Monterey)"] According to at least one biographer, though, Neil had another, more pernicious, influence on Parsons -- he may well have been the one who introduced Parsons to heroin, though several of Parsons' friends from the time said he wasn't yet using hard drugs. By spring 1965, Parsons was starting to rethink his commitment to folk music, particularly after "Mr. Tambourine Man" became a hit. He talked with the other members about their need to embrace the changes in music that Dylan and the Byrds were bringing about, but at the same time he was still interested enough in acoustic music that when he was given the job of arranging the music for his high school graduation, the group he booked were the Dillards. That graduation day was another day that would change Parsons' life -- as it was the day his mother died, of alcohol-induced liver failure. Parsons was meant to go on to Harvard, but first he went back to Greenwich Village for the summer, where he hung out with Fred Neil and Dave Van Ronk (and started using heroin regularly). He went to see the Beatles at Shea Stadium, and he was neighbours with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay -- the three of them talked about forming a band together before Stills moved West. And on a brief trip back home to Florida between Greenwich Village and Harvard, Parsons spoke with his old friend Jim Stafford, who made a suggestion to him -- instead of trying to do folk music, which was clearly falling out of fashion, why not try to do *country* music but with long hair like the Beatles? He could be a country Beatle. It would be an interesting gimmick. Parsons was only at Harvard for one semester before flunking out, but it was there that he was fully reintroduced to country music, and in particular to three artists who would influence him more than any others. He'd already been vaguely aware of Buck Owens, whose "Act Naturally" had recently been covered by the Beatles: [Excerpt: Buck Owens, "Act Naturally"] But it was at Harvard that he gained a deeper appreciation of Owens. Owens was the biggest star of what had become known as the Bakersfield Sound, a style of country music that emphasised a stripped-down electric band lineup with Telecaster guitars, a heavy drumbeat, and a clean sound. It came from the same honky-tonk and Western Swing roots as the rockabilly music that Parsons had grown up on, and it appealed to him instinctively.  In particular, Parsons was fascinated by the fact that Owens' latest album had a cover version of a Drifters song on it -- and then he got even more interested when Ray Charles put out his third album of country songs and included a version of Owens' "Together Again": [Excerpt: Ray Charles, "Together Again"] This suggested to Parsons that country music and the R&B he'd been playing previously might not quite be so far apart as he'd thought. At Harvard, Parsons was also introduced to the work of another Bakersfield musician, who like Owens was produced by Ken Nelson, who also produced the Louvin Brothers' records, and who we heard about in previous episodes as he produced Gene Vincent and Wanda Jackson. Merle Haggard had only had one big hit at the time, "(My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers": [Excerpt: Merle Haggard, "(My Friends are Gonna Be) Strangers"] But he was about to start a huge run of country hits that would see every single he released for the next twelve years make the country top ten, most of them making number one. Haggard would be one of the biggest stars in country music, but he was also to be arguably the country musician with the biggest influence on rock music since Johnny Cash, and his songs would soon start to be covered by everyone from the Grateful Dead to the Everly Brothers to the Beach Boys. And the third artist that Parsons was introduced to was someone who, in most popular narratives of country music, is set up in opposition to Haggard and Owens, because they were representatives of the Bakersfield Sound while he was the epitome of the Nashville Sound to which the Bakersfield Sound is placed in opposition, George Jones. But of course anyone with ears will notice huge similarities in the vocal styles of Jones, Haggard, and Owens: [Excerpt: George Jones, "The Race is On"] Owens, Haggard, and Jones are all somewhat outside the scope of this series, but are seriously important musicians in country music. I would urge anyone who's interested in them to check out Tyler Mahan Coe's podcast Cocaine and Rhinestones, season one of which has episodes on Haggard and Owens, as well as on the Louvin Brothers who I also mentioned earlier, and season two of which is entirely devoted to Jones. When he dropped out of Harvard after one semester, Parsons was still mostly under the thrall of the Greenwich Village folkies -- there's a recording of him made over Christmas 1965 that includes his version of "Another Side of This Life": [Excerpt: Gram Parsons, "Another Side of This Life"] But he was encouraged to go further in the country direction by John Nuese (and I hope that's the correct pronunciation – I haven't been able to find any recordings mentioning his name), who had introduced him to this music and who also played guitar. Parsons, Neuse, bass player Ian Dunlop and drummer Mickey Gauvin formed a band that was originally called Gram Parsons and the Like. They soon changed their name though, inspired by an Our Gang short in which the gang became a band: [Excerpt: Our Gang, "Mike Fright"] Shortening the name slightly, they became the International Submarine Band. Parsons rented them a house in New York, and they got a contract with Goldstar Records, and released a couple of singles. The first of them, "The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming" was a cover of the theme to a comedy film that came out around that time, and is not especially interesting: [Excerpt: The International Submarine Band, "The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming"] The second single is more interesting. "Sum Up Broke" is a song by Parsons and Neuse, and shows a lot of influence from the Byrds: [Excerpt: The international Submarine Band, "Sum Up Broke"] While in New York with the International Submarine Band, Parsons made another friend in the music business. Barry Tashian was the lead singer of a band called the Remains, who had put out a couple of singles: [Excerpt: The Remains, "Why Do I Cry?"] The Remains are now best known for having been on the bill on the Beatles' last ever tour, including playing as support on their last ever show at Candlestick Park, but they split up before their first album came out. After spending most of 1966 in New York, Parsons decided that he needed to move the International Submarine Band out to LA. There were two reasons for this. The first was his friend Brandon DeWilde, an actor who had been a child star in the fifties -- it's him at the end of Shane -- who was thinking of pursuing a musical career. DeWilde was still making TV appearances, but he was also a singer -- John Nuese said that DeWilde sang harmony with Parsons better than anyone except Emmylou Harris -- and he had recorded some demos with the International Submarine Band backing him, like this version of Buck Owens' "Together Again": [Excerpt: Brandon DeWilde, "Together Again"] DeWilde had told Parsons he could get the group some work in films. DeWilde made good on that promise to an extent -- he got the group a cameo in The Trip, a film we've talked about in several other episodes, which was being directed by Roger Corman, the director who worked a lot with David Crosby's father, and was coming out from American International Pictures, the company that put out the beach party films -- but while the group were filmed performing one of their own songs, in the final film their music was overdubbed by the Electric Flag. The Trip starred Peter Fonda, another member of the circle of people around David Crosby, and another son of privilege, who at this point was better known for being Henry Fonda's son than for his own film appearances. Like DeWilde, Fonda wanted to become a pop star, and he had been impressed by Parsons, and asked if he could record Parsons' song "November Nights". Parsons agreed, and the result was released on Chisa Records, the label we talked about earlier that had put out promos of Gene Clark, in a performance produced by Hugh Masekela: [Excerpt: Peter Fonda, "November Nights"] The other reason the group moved West though was that Parsons had fallen in love with David Crosby's girlfriend, Nancy Ross, who soon became pregnant with his daughter -- much to Parsons' disappointment, she refused to have an abortion. Parsons bought the International Submarine Band a house in LA to rehearse in, and moved in separately with Nancy. The group started playing all the hottest clubs around LA, supporting bands like Love and the Peanut Butter Conspiracy, but they weren't sounding great, partly because Parsons was more interested in hanging round with celebrities than rehearsing -- the rest of the band had to work for a living, and so took their live performances more seriously than he did, while he was spending time catching up with his old folk friends like John Phillips and Fred Neil, as well as getting deeper into drugs and, like seemingly every musician in 1967, Scientology, though he only dabbled in the latter. The group were also, though, starting to split along musical lines. Dunlop and Gauvin wanted to play R&B and garage rock, while Parsons and Nuese wanted to play country music. And there was a third issue -- which record label should they go with? There were two labels interested in them, neither of them particularly appealing. The offer that Dunlop in particular wanted to go with was from, of all people, Jay Ward Records: [Excerpt: A Salute to Moosylvania] Jay Ward was the producer and writer of Rocky & Bullwinkle, Peabody & Sherman, Dudley Do-Right and other cartoons, and had set up a record company, which as far as I've been able to tell had only released one record, and that five years earlier (we just heard a snippet of it). But in the mid-sixties several cartoon companies were getting into the record business -- we'll hear more about that when we get to song 186 -- and Ward's company apparently wanted to sign the International Submarine Band, and were basically offering to throw money at them. Parsons, on the other hand, wanted to go with Lee Hazlewood International. This was a new label set up by someone we've only talked about in passing, but who was very influential on the LA music scene, Lee Hazlewood. Hazlewood had got his start producing country hits like Sanford Clark's "The Fool": [Excerpt: Sanford Clark, "The Fool"] He'd then moved on to collaborating with Lester Sill, producing a series of hits for Duane Eddy, whose unique guitar sound Hazlewood helped come up with: [Excerpt: Duane Eddy, "Rebel Rouser"] After splitting off from Sill, who had gone off to work with Phil Spector, who had been learning some production techniques from Hazlewood, Hazlewood had gone to work for Reprise records, where he had a career in a rather odd niche, producing hit records for the children of Rat Pack stars. He'd produced Dino, Desi, and Billy, who consisted of future Beach Boys sideman Billy Hinsche plus Desi Arnaz Jr and Dean Martin Jr: [Excerpt: Dino, Desi, and Billy, "I'm a Fool"] He'd also produced Dean Martin's daughter Deana: [Excerpt: Deana Martin, "Baby I See You"] and rather more successfully he'd written and produced a series of hits for Nancy Sinatra, starting with "These Boots are Made for Walkin'": [Excerpt: Nancy Sinatra, "These Boots are Made for Walkin'"] Hazlewood had also moved into singing himself. He'd released a few tracks on his own, but his career as a performer hadn't really kicked into gear until he'd started writing duets for Nancy Sinatra. She apparently fell in love with his demos and insisted on having him sing them with her in the studio, and so the two made a series of collaborations like the magnificently bizarre "Some Velvet Morning": [Excerpt: Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra, "Some Velvet Morning"] Hazlewood is now considered something of a cult artist, thanks largely to a string of magnificent orchestral country-pop solo albums he recorded, but at this point he was one of the hottest people in the music industry. He wasn't offering to produce the International Submarine Band himself -- that was going to be his partner, Suzi Jane Hokom -- but Parsons thought it was better to sign for less money to a label that was run by someone with a decade-long string of massive hit records than for more money to a label that had put out one record about a cartoon moose. So the group split up. Dunlop and Gauvin went off to form another band, with Barry Tashian -- and legend has it that one of the first times Gram Parsons visited the Byrds in the studio, he mentioned the name of that band, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and that was the inspiration for the Byrds titling their album The Notorious Byrd Brothers. Parsons and Nuese, on the other hand, formed a new lineup of The International Submarine Band, with bass player Chris Ethridge, drummer John Corneal, who Parsons had first played with in The Legends, and guitarist Bob Buchanan, a former member of the New Christy Minstrels who Parsons had been performing with as a duo after they'd met through Fred Neil. The International Submarine Band recorded an album, Safe At Home, which is now often called the first country-rock album -- though as we've said so often, there's no first anything. That album was a mixture of cover versions of songs by people like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard: [Excerpt: The International Submarine Band, "I Must Be Somebody Else You've Known"] And Parsons originals, like "Do You Know How It Feels To Be Lonesome?", which he cowrote with Barry Goldberg of the Electric Flag: [Excerpt: The International Submarine Band, "Do You Know How It Feels To Be Lonesome?"] But the recording didn't go smoothly. In particular, Corneal realised he'd been hoodwinked. Parsons had told him, when persuading him to move West, that he'd be able to sing on the record and that some of his songs would be used. But while the record was credited to The International Submarine Band, everyone involved agrees that it was actually a Gram Parsons solo album by any other name -- he was in charge, he wouldn't let other members' songs on the record, and he didn't let Corneal sing as he'd promised. And then, before the album could be released, he was off. The Byrds wanted a jazz keyboard player, and Parsons could fake being one long enough to get the gig. The Byrds had got rid of one rich kid with a giant ego who wanted to take control of everything and thought his undeniable talent excused his attempts at dominating the group, and replaced him with another one -- who also happened to be signed to another record label. We'll see how well that worked out for them in two weeks' time.

Listen to McKenzie's other podcasts Wisteria Gays & ON LYNCH. NEXT WEEK: We're discussing the rise of Judd Apatow the producer with the iconic 2007 high school comedy SUPERBAD.

After being a heroic treasure hunter in The Mummy, Fraser returns to his roots that we've seen in films like George of the Jungle and Blast from the Past where he takes on the sort of... "lovable goofball" persona. Only this time he's playing a Canadian Mountie with a sentient horse companion who's town gets taken over by Alfred Molina pre-Spiderman 2 and eventually fights a war with an indigenous tribe that's from Brooklyn New York against tanks and machine guns. Dudley Do-Right? More like Dudley Do-NOT!!

This week we're diving in to Mike Nichols' iconic 1996 comedy - THE BIRDCAGE! Other topics include James Gunn's DC slate, Kev's TV Era™️ continues, and we give a much anticipated update on our new favorite awards body.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle. After being transported to Los Angeles, the titular moose and squirrel travel across country to stop a rogue TV station from hypnotizing the populace into a stupor. Starring Jason Alexander, Robert De Niro, Janeane Garofalo, and Rene Russo. The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle uses the tired trope of taking cartoon characters and putting them in the "real world". Who Framed Roger Rabbit this is not. The banter between Rocky (Keith Scott) and Bullwinkle (June Foray) works, but the pacing is not great. There's a love interest subplot that's not needed, the cameos aren't AAA level like in The Muppet Movie, and the plot is lacking stakes until the end. There are some good lines here and there, but the whole movie just lays there like a moose on the couch. Even the Dudley Do-Right had more zip to it!

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the live-action film Dudley Do-Right. Snidely Whiplash starts a town with a nefarious purpose after a gold rush boom. Starring Brendan Fraser, Eric Idle, Alfred Molina, and Sarah Jessica Parker. From the writer and director of Police Academy, Dudley Do-Right is a live-action adaptation of the Jay Ward cartoon aimed at a very young audience. Brendan Fraser and Sarah Jessica Parker are very sincere in the leads, but Alfred Molina steals the show with his over-the-top faithful portrayal of Snidely Whiplash. It's an inoffensive movie at best dragged down by a plot with no real stakes until the end. The Fractured Fairy Tales cartoon that opens the movie is better than the feature!

When we last left our heroes, Rocky and Bullwinkle, they were desperately trying to foil the plans of those dastardly fiends Boris and Natasha. This week Jay and Shua look back at the classic Jay Ward creation The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.    In 1959, Jay Ward productions created the first animated series for TV. Using a modern style of animation and very clever humor, they set up a crazy world that would inspire a kind of cartoon not found in the creations of giants like Disney or Warner Bros. This is Rocky and Bullwinkle!   News A Weird Al pinball machine will only set you back about $8,000 Scientists discover that the answer to life, the universe, and everything really is 42 (well, sorta) Indy 5 has wrapped filming! And Harrison Ford didn't even have to go the hospital! Beetlejuice 2 may actually happen! What we're Enjoying Shua has been filling the silence of work time by listening to the offerings of classic Disneyland audio from a site called DisneyChris.com. It has just about any Disney audio you can think of from the parks, Disney storybook records, and even TV shows. Jay is getting ready for a season 6 return of Better Call Saul by rewatching the series. But which order should we watch this show? Listen to find out.    Enjoy Cartoons! The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle debuted in 1959. It was the first time we had ever seen an animated series on TV, and it established a style that would become popular with cartoons, advertising, and design. A show about a moose and a squirrel constantly foiling the plans of Pottsylvanian spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale sounds pretty far out there. And it was!   And to add to the wackiness of the show, other cartoons filled the space between cliffhangers our heroes had to endure. One was Fractured Fairy Tales when we got a very unconventional style of classics.    Peabody's Improbable History introduced us to Mr. Peabody and his pet boy Sherman and all their time traveling adventures.    Dudley Do Right taught us all about how brave (and sometimes dimwitted) those Canadian Mounties could be. But they always managed to save Nell from the mustache twirling Snidely Whiplash.    Aesop and Son helped us learn valuable lessons from fables and then turned them into ridiculous puns.   Plus, these classic toons inspired live action movie versions. The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle from 2000 starred the likes of Jason Alexander, Rene Russo, and even Robert DeNiro! Did you grow up experiencing Rocky and Bullwinkle? What lessons did you learn from this crazy pair? Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to podcast@enjoystuff.com

The best thing about this movie is how short it is.  Still it feels long. Brendan Fraser who had been on a good streak, struck out hard with this one. Sarah Jessica Parker is in the movie and that is the nicest thing you can say about her. Alfred Molina is the villain and his plot is more convoluted than a Christopher Nolan movie (and just as lame). So not much to see here.Hate Watching is the number one show containing both Dan and Tony.#DudleyDoRight #BrendanFraser #AlfredMolina #SJP #JayWard #CartoonMoviesWhat does the future hold? Well, shortly lunch, then dinner, then breakfast, then repeat.  Life is just a series of cycles. Is there someone out there that remembers all of this meals? Seems like that would be more of a burden than a gift. Could you have a different thing for every single meal? Most of us just cycle through the same things, over and over. I eat pretty much the same breakfast everyday and could imagine a world where that never changed. But by dinner I'd rather have something unique to the day.  That does not happen much. Where am I going with this? Nowhere. For life is meaningless. Except now I'm starting to think about lunch....

In this week's episode, the gals watch Dudley Do-Right, thirst over Alfred Molina (yes we know), and continue to try to figure out what happened to them in their childhoods that made them like this. If you have any thoughts, we'd love to know. Seriously. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ibspodcast/support

How can a character have a fulfilling death? Must there always be a body? How often can you have them come back from the dead, if at all? Why in the world did Matt David bring up that orgy point when it had NOTHING to do with ANYTHING?! Seriously, why, David?!

This week, we're going deep (but also not deep at all) on character actor Steve Buscemi! We'll talk his beloved-man status and his creepy-guy status and how the two interact. Does he have the "it" factor? Is Sienna Miller a good actor?  Join us next week for The Brady Bunch Movie (1995) and Dudley Do-Right (2001)   Twitter! Instrgram! We need your follows. 

The British Columbians are masters at running “pirate economies”. Centuries before the current BC Bud enterprise was launched, the fur trade was a huge part of the BC economy when the Europeans arrived in the home of the First Nations with lots of arrogant ambition and a buffet of epidemics. That was followed by a few slightly sleazy gold rushes and then some pretty dedicated exploitation of the Japanese, Chinese and other Asians. During prohibition in the U.S., B.C. became the liquor hub for the west coast of the U.S.  We've been keeping you guys stoned and drunk for decades.   You' re welcome.

Dudley Do-Right rescues Penelope Paddywhack from the clutches of the evil Dastardly Dan as he boldly proclaims, "The wicked flee when no one pursues but the righteous are as bold as a lion!" #fishbytes4kids, #roncarriewebb

What do you think of when Canada pops into your head? Molson Canadian? Hockey? Snow? Bob and Doug McKenzie? Poutine? Yeah, yeah, I think of all those things, plus Dudley Do-Right. Mounties, eh? MOSTLY, I think of Valerie Knox and her trifecta of incredible bands. Black Cat Attack. The Anti-Queens. The Hybrids (a Misfits cover band YES!!!!). Holy maple leaves, Valerie is one of the greatest things to ever happen to rock n’ roll. Her bands are absolutely amazing, catchy, they’ve got all the hooks in all the right iceholes. See what I did there? Ice fishing?Canada? Cold? I’ll shut up and say this, I had the greatest time talking to Valerie and here’s the interview. Plus, four songs by three of Valerie’s bands - Black Cat Attack, The Anti-Queens and The Hybrids. Best version of “Hybrid Moments” ever, by the way. Brought to you by Plan 9 Alehouse.

Week three of BRENDAN FRASER MONTH is here and we're here for the one movie nobody in the history of podcasts has probably ever talked about, the 1999 movie that is Dudley Do-Right! Why does Ben love this movie so much? Seriously, why does Ben love this movie so much? Can Colin appreciate anything from this movie or is he completely against it? Why is Eric Idle so brilliant? Why is Alfred Molina so brilliant? Is this movie offensive to Canadians? Is this movie offensive to other people? Why is this movie so forgotten about and why did it make so little money? Why is Ben the only one who seemingly gets the joke of this movie? And can we still love Brendan Fraser (or fray-sher if you're Colin) after his effort in this movie? This is one divisive film and episode so strap yourself in for one hell of a ride!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

After the week begins with Mars coming to the (possibly misguided) rescue, April & Jen breathe a small sigh of relief as Venus in Virgo gets us grounded! Her aspects to Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto suggest supportive alliances, organization, and the courage to go deep, and this sensible goddess also provides invaluable fact-checking for the Moon’s Nodes. The Sun ushers in the complex Scorpio season, and retrograde Mercury’s latest face-off with the Sun and Uranus prompt a discussion of misbehaving appliances. And finally, the Aquarius First Quarter Moon offers a sneak peek at December’s coming attractions. Plus: do your intrepid co-hosts need a cazimi theme song?? Check out April’s upcoming workshop on Neptune in Relationship! Sign up for April's mailing list for updates, a free monthly lunar workbook, AND an email tutorial on the Lunar Phases!

Follow Big Sky Astrology on IG, Twitter, and FB @BigSkyAstrology Read a full transcript of this episode. Episode links: 00:30 – April’s presentation on Saints & Suckers: Neptune in Relationship (Nov. 7, 3:30-5:00 pm PDT) will attempt to bring clarity to your partnerships! . 03:10 – Mars retrograde (Rx) at 19°26’ Aries squares Jupiter in Capricorn (Oct. 18/19) on the Sabian symbol “A young girl feeding birds in winter” and “A hidden choir singing.” Dudley Do-Right to the rescue as we attempt to build something that lasts! This is the continuation of a story that began when Mars and Jupiter came together back in March (Episode 17), and is the second of three squares (the first was covered in Episode 37). . 09:21 – Are our appliances revolting? Mercury opposes Uranus (Oct. 19) on Jen’s new favorite Sabian symbol, 10 Scorpio, “A fellowship supper.” Fellowship, yay!! (To hear the origins of our love for fellowship, listen to Episode 13.) The planet of disruption is on 10 Taurus, “A Red Cross nurse.” This is the second of three face-offs between the two, first discussed in Episode 50. . 12:38 – Attention, Librans and Taureans! Your ruling planet, Venus, favors cleaning, organizing, and emotional deep-dives this week! First up, Venus trines Jupiter (Oct. 19) on the symbol for 20 Virgo, “An automobile caravan.” The Big Guy is on 20 Capricorn, “A hidden choir singing.” These two benefics working together offers a picture of forward motion, as folks with a shared goal work together. . 15:57 – Venus, at 21°18 Virgo puts pressure on the Lunar Nodes (Oct. 20). You may recall that these lunar points moved to the Gemini/Sagittarius axis back in May (listen to Episode 24 to review that shift), and curious, flexible Gemini leads us along the path to growth. Consider this: In our ongoing nodal search for truth, we need to avoid being pulled off-course by the delicious details of Venus in Virgo. . 19:02 – Venus trines Pluto (Oct. 21) on the symbol “An animal tamer,” with Pluto on, “A Soldier receiving two awards for bravery in combat.” Does the latter one sound familiar? It’s where Saturn and Pluto first met up back in January! Let’s be brave enough to go deep in our dealings with others. (To review the Saturn/Pluto conjunction, go to Episode 8, Episode 7, and/or Episode 6.) . 22:55 – Venus trines Saturn (Oct. 24) on the symbol for 26 Virgo, “A boy with a censer.” Saturn is on 26 Capricorn, “A water sprite.” This speaks to cleansing, making a substantial change in your environment, and/or building a new structure going forward for your relationships, your work life, or the places in your life where it’s important to feel valued. . 24:23 – The Sun enters Scorpio (Oct. 22)! Welcome to the season of long shadows, mysteries, letting go, and release. . 28:09 – ** MOONWATCH! ** This week we have a preview of coming attractions! The First Quarter Moon (Oct. 23) is at 1 Aquarius – a sign of community and fellowship! – on the symbol “An old adobe mission,” which is the same degree as the upcoming Jupiter/Saturn meet-up in December! (Review this symbol in Episode 19.) The Sun’s symbol extends an earlier vehicular metaphor with, “A sightseeing bus.” This is always the point in the lunar cycle to take action, and with the FQM closely aspecting Uranus – the planet of change – there is some indication here of new things coming our way… or do we keep things status quo? The cosmic call is to find a middle point between our desire to hold onto things as they are, versus needing to change the structures in our lives. The Moon forms the middle of a T-square, and the release point in Leo is saying, “Be creative; express yourself.” (This is also part of an unfolding 2.5-year cycle that began at the Aquarius New Moon nine months ago; lend your ears to Episode 9!) . 34:14 – Cazimi! Mercury is halfway through its Rx cycle and forms an inferior conjunction with the Sun at 2°47’ Scorpio (Oct. 25) on the symbol “A house-raising.” This gives an image of fellowship (!!), of working together to create the necessary structures moving forward. This is the last of Mercury Rx in water signs for a few years, so… enjoy it?! . 37:11 – Adieu, to you and you and you! And thanks to everyone for listening! If you’re so moved, please give us a 5-star rating, subscribe wherever you listen, and/or give us a kind review. This episode is brought to you by Podathon donor JACK COTĖ!

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 07/23/2020 We're back in the studio this week, so Jer asked Mike to pick a movie for a good old-fashion trashin'. Was it worth it? Because this week we're discussing the 1999 beginning of Brendan Fraser's downfall with "Dudley Do-Right", yet another animated adaptation that doesn't know its audience. Based on the Jay Ward cartoon, the movie is directed by Hugh Wilson and also stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Alfred Molina, Eric Idle, Robert Prosky and Alex Rocco.

We're back in the studio this week, so Jer asked Mike to pick a movie for a good old-fashion trashin'.  Was it worth it?  Because this week we're discussing the 1999 beginning of Brendan Fraser's downfall with "Dudley Do-Right", yet another animated adaptation that doesn't know its audience.  Based on the Jay Ward cartoon, the movie is directed by Hugh Wilson and also stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Alfred Molina, Eric Idle, Robert Prosky and Alex Rocco.This episode is sponsored by MyFeed.Today - the best way to make sure you never miss any news about your favorite people in pop culture.

Brendan Fraser(Dudley Do-Right) and Sarah Jessica Parker(No she doesn't play the horse she is the bland love interest) Star in this obnoxiously Canadian Film based on the Jay Ward comic of the same name; in which a Mountie Saves a girl from Snidely Whiplash a twirling mustache bad guy. This was one of 3 movies Fraser filmed in a year not a surprise for many that it was Panned by critics and didn't scrape back the huge budget that it was given. Could this movie be a Diamond in the rough?

I cant say enough about June Foray. She was as gracious and kind of an interview as I have ever had. To think that our little show had landed one of the greatest voice actors in the history of film, television and radio and she treated us like we were the Today show. What a classy lady. Now, if you are scratching your head and wondering…who is June Foray? …let me say this. You know her. You may not KNOW that you know her…but you do. We will start with her most recognizable character…Rocky The Flying Squirrel!! June is best remembered for providing the voice of Rocky but did you know that she was also Natasia…as in Boris and Natasia, Bullwinkle's arch nemesis? Oh and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Lets just focus on her Rocky and Bullwinkle, Dudley Do Right and Fractured Fairy Tales roles. This piece I found on You Tube has an uncut interview with June. I loved hearing her unedited.

Erin La Rosa (Netflix social media) came back to the podcast for her second Brendan Fraser-Hugh Wilson film. She thought she was just there to talk Fraser, but she never could have anticipated what awaited her. When people talk about the best twists of 1999, they’ll mention The Sixth Sense or The Matrix. Perhaps the more artsy of us will ride for eXistenZ. And maybe those who don’t understand twists will stan for, I don’t know, The Bone Collector? But the biggest twist of all is that this movie about a simple Canadian Mountie and his flatulent horse named Horse based on a little-loved cartoon is not only good, it’s great! Listen to this episode to find out if this write up was itself a twist as well and it’s really as bad as you think.

Hey everyone! Welcome to week two of Animated August 2018! This week we are spinning the quality wheel once again with another Jay Ward adaptation with 1999's Dudley Do-Right. Join us as we discuss....well...something? Moviepass crumbles, Alex Jones is banned, and the Academy Awards insults everyone. Listen in! Thanks!

Female protagonists in peril are the focus of one very silly and one very melancholy production running now in the North Bay. Left Edge Theatre’s “Women in Jeopardy!” is a laugh-out-loud look at the changing dynamic among a group of single friends once one of them begins a relationship. That the friends are middle-aged women makes for a nice change of pace. Mary (Shannon Rider) and Jo (Sandra Ish) are having a tough time adjusting to a new addition to their circle of friends. Their friend Liz (Angela Squire) has a new man in her life and Jackson (Richard Pallaziol) is not quite their cup of tea. He’s a dentist who makes Little Shop of Horrors’ Orin Scrivello, DDS look like a pussycat. His hygienist has gone missing and it doesn’t take long for Mary and Liz to leap to the conclusion that he’s the responsible party. What’s worse, he’s about to take Liz’s daughter off on a camping trip. What do you do when your best friend is dating a serial killer? All three wine-swilling ladies have their comedic moments, with Ish’s frequently flabbergasted second-banana Jo garnering a lot of laughs with just a look. Pallaziol is hilariously creepy as Jackson and equally amusing as a Dudley Do-Right-ish police sergeant. Victoria Saitz as Mary’s daughter and Zane Walters as her cougar-hunting on again/off again boyfriend also contribute to the fun. The show is a lot of fun with Wendy MacLeod’s script full of witty lines and amusing bits. What the show doesn’t have is an ending as things just sort of conclude with an abrupt wind-up that you shouldn’t think too hard about. You really don’t have to expend many brain cells at all as there’s no great message to be found in “Women in Jeopardy!”, just a lot of laughs. “Women in Jeopardy!” runs through May 27th at Left Edge Theatre in Santa Rosa. Thursday through Saturday performances are at 8pm; there’s a Sunday matinee at 2pm. For more information, go to leftedgethreatre.com If Greek mythology is more to your taste, then Main Stage West has a production of Sarah Ruhl’s “Eurydice” running through June 2. Ruhl has flipped the focus of the classic tale of Orpheus (Taylor Diffenderfer) and his quest to bring his wife Eurydice (Brianna Rene Dinges) back from the dead to Eurydice’s time in the Underworld and her relationship with her father (John Craven). Director Chris Ginesi flips it even further with the non-traditional casting of Orpheus that while seeming to fit Ruhl’s alternative world of raining elevators, a tricycle-riding Lord of the Underworld (Neil Thollander), and a Greek Chorus of Talking Stones (mollie boice, Nick Christenson, Samantha Bolke-Slater), actually detracts from it. It’s a visually arresting piece with inventive design elements that complement the script’s other-worldliness and the performances are good, but there’s a hole in the heart of this production. “Eurydice’' runs through June 2 at Main Stage West in Sebastopol. Thursday through Saturday performances are at 8pm; their Sunday matinee is at 5pm. For more information, go to mainstagewest.com

Donald Graham on his mother, Katharine Graham ~ ". . . my mother was one of the highest ranking women in American business. To say that she was unsure of herself is a gross understatement, she went through life telling people she was not up to the job, she was scared, and all the while she was doing just an incredible job." Donald Graham, Former Publisher and Chairman The Washington Post (right) and Andy Ockershausen, Our Town host (left) A Ockershausen: Our guest today has been described by his colleagues as an incredibly nice person. Always willing to give advice, especially to young business people, I'm included in that. An amazing human being, a lovely lovely man. The Dudley Do-Right of the newspaper business. The rare mogul who puts principles and people ahead of profits. I've personally known Donald Graham for almost 50 years, throughout my career at WMAL, WMAL TV Channel 7, The Washington Star Group, which don't exist anymore, but WMAL Radio's still here thank God. I knew Donald when he was in school and when he was in the military and when he got out and his work with the city, but Donald, I'm so so so happy that you would agree to this discussion because you are a very big important part of Our Town. Donald Graham: I'm very happy to be with you Andy, this is fun to talk about DC with somebody who's been part of it as long as you and I have. A Ockershausen: Correct. Donald Graham: This is great. A Ockershausen: Which was the genesis for everything that we're doing with Our Town. Donald Graham: It's a great idea. A Ockershausen: You know, Our Town includes the suburbs, you know, we just don't limit it to downtown DC, but it's all Our Town and the fact is The Post was so important to everything that happened to Our Town over the last 75-80 years, it's been just great. Donald Graham: The media were, the newspapers were, you ran the radio station you ran, you know most people that were in the radio business somewhere else, don't imagine there could have been a radio station as big as WMAL was in its day, but you know ... A Ockershausen: People couldn't understand it. Donald Graham: Yeah, you ran a ... A Ockershausen: But, we were all about Our Town. That's why we were successful. Donald Graham: Yeah, you were, you had the most popular people and The Post. A Ockershausen: The Post was Our Town and always was, I remember reading about when your grandfather bought the paper, it was pretty much on the rocks compared to the other papers. Donald Graham's Grandfather, Eugene Meyer, Buys The Washington Post Donald Graham: So, my grandfather Eugene Meyer, bought the Washington Post at a bankruptcy sale in June of 1933, so why was it bankrupt? Well, there were five papers in town. The Post was the fourth in circulation out of five. Star was the biggest, then there were The Times, The Herald, and The News. The post claimed a circulation of 50,000. In her book. My mother wrote that she was skeptical that they had 50,000 circulation, but that's what they claimed. It had this run down rattle-trap building on 1337 E Street, right where the JW Marriott Hotel is on Pennsylvania Avenue now. A Ockershausen: Know it quite well, Basses Delicatessen or something was right there. Donald Graham: Yeah, but they had no money, they were losing money every year. I knew a guy who consulted for Mr. Meyer back in the 30's and said that Mr. Meyer told this consultant that he hoped the business would break even in three years. He would improve the paper, that would increase the circulation, maybe the advertising, it took him 21 years. He paid the losses out of his own pocket and he didn't own any other business. He was a hell of a guy. He bought The Post, he was 57 years old. He had never run a business and he had never worked on a newspaper, but he made a lot of money on Wall Street when it was tough to make money on Wall Street and then had come to work for the ... He was French, so when World War I broke out,

STEVE DORFFThere is no way to capture the diversity Steve displays scoring motion pictures, television, theater, or an array of # 1 hit songs, as well as Arranging and Producing records for many top artists. In addition to winning the NSAI Songwriter of the Year award, Dorff has also been honored with more than 40 BMI, and 11 Billboard #1 awards.

Tom and Josh watch Dudley Do Right this week and face the toughest crucible of questions yet. Is Tom really the wild man to Joshes Sensible Sally? Does Brendan have more chemistry with a motorbike than his love interest? Currency? Another game of Brewareness this week puts Tom back on the offensive... with predictable results. Help us #BringBackBrendan! Leave some feedback and a rating on Itunes. This means more people will hear the 'cast - but more importantly increases the chances someone will at least read the description and think about the main man, Brendan Fraser. Dudley Do Right Synopsis: Brendan portrays bumbling Canadian mountie Dudley Do Right and slapsticks the shit out of the movie. Also he carves a tree into art with a chainsaw... so it has that going for it.

Hey ATA Listeners, our milestone 150th episode of Across the Airwaves is a tribute to Canada because if we didn't have the country of the Maple leaf, the city of Vancouver would never have been built and therefore the TV shows we review couldn't exist since there would be no place to film them. Then again, not all the shows we cover are filmed in Vancouver but I'm sure through using IMDb and entertainment resources of the like you could a way of associating this shows we cover on ATA to Canada through a guest star or making a ton of jokes about the country like on How I Met Your Mother. In other words, I'm on a roll here so whether this episode brings out your inner Dudley Do Right, Alan Thicke or Robin Sparkles just go with it as we pay tribute to Canada through our main section reviewing Once upon a Time, Almost Human and Supernatural (shows I know for a fact were filmed in Vancouver) as well as our sitcom section going over episodes of How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory. Also there's more where that came from as the Airwaves Rundown discusses shows where their connections to Canada might be a stretch but definitely worth our time anyway such as Homeland, The Walking Dead, The Blacklist, South Park, Once upon a Time in Wonderland, The Tomorrow People, TNT's Mob City, Elementary, Glee and Grimm. By the way, Andy wanted me to mention that if you want more of his thoughts on this week's Once upon a Time check out his spot as a guest host on the Operation Cobra Podcast located here: http://www.operationcobrapodcast.com/2013/12/episode-181-save-henry.html.

Episode 6 sees Eric and Phil dissecting the final pair of stop/plosive sounds in English: /k/ and /ɡ/. As always, we work our way around the task of describing the sounds, their history, and usage in the course of about an hour and 10 minutes.Show Notes:Correction: Phil referred to "Findlay" as derived from Finn's Lea, but it turns out that it's from Gaelic, and that means Fionnlagh – "fair warrior." Bradley would have been a much better example: Brad=broad and Lea=meadow.voiceless/voiced velar plosive: co-articulation, double action of closing the mouth with the back of the tongue at the soft palate, and closing off the nasal passage by lifting the soft palate at the velo-pharyngeal port.Let’s take a tour of the anatomy. This will help us to deal with the idea that /t/ is apico alveolar but /k/ is dorsovelarThe Roof of the MouthTectal: an adjective derived from the anatomical term "tectum," a roof-like structure. Labia/labial: the lips; bilabial with both lips, labio-dental with lower lip and upper teeth, as in /f/ and /v/. (For people with an extreme overbite, one might make a dento-labial sound (upper lip and lower teeth.)Dental: the teeth (as heard in the “th” sounds, /θ/ & /ð/ )Alveolar ridge/alveolar: the gum ridge, behind the upper front teethPalate/palatal: the hard palate, rising up behind the alveolar ridge. Phil describes a small hole in his palate; Eric, in searching the net for information on this, could only find stuff about "Jacobsen's Organ" aka Vomeronasal organ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomeronasal_organ, an auxiliary olfactory sense organ; it's thoroughly debatable whether it exists in humans at all. Who knows what Phil has? (apparently, he hasn't had any of this since college days...)Velum/velar: the soft palate, behind the hard palateUvula/uvular: the "small grape"-like structure that hangs down from the arch of the soft palatePharynx/pharyngeal: the column or space behind the tongue, the "chimney" that goes from the larynx up to the noseEpiglottis/epiglottal: the flap-like value that protects the larynx during swallowingGlottis/glottal: the vocal folds (technically the SPACE between the vocal folds, which disappears every time the vocal folds vibrateAri-Epiglottal/ False Vocal Folds: [there was some debate between Phil and Eric how Dudley Do-Right sounded, and whether it was ari-epiglottal tension or velar tension...The Parts of the TongueTip or Apex/apical: front edge of the tongue, the 'rim' of the tongueBlade or Lamina/laminal: the front part of the tongue, the top surfaceBack or Dorsum/dorsal: the back of the tongue, which is subdivided into: Front, Middle, Back, or, Front and Back —antero-dorsal or postero-dorsalRoot or Radix/radical: the root of the tongue/k/ and /ɡ/ are different from other plosives because it is made on the back of the tongue, which works in a more gross mannercan be made further forward /ki/ or further back /kɑ/. Challenge of learning /k/ and /ɡ/ for children because they are made further back in the mouthThe McGurk Effect Experiment: Can you identify Phil's 3 sounds? World Atlas of Language Structures: http://wals.info/ WALS shows 2,650 languages and notes 32 missing / ɡ /Languages that are missing /ɡ/ but not /k/From Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_velar_plosive ] "Of the six plosives that would be expected from the most common pattern world-wide—that is, three places of articulation plus voicing ([p b, t d, k ɡ])—[p] and [ɡ] are the most frequently missing, being absent in about 10% of languages that otherwise have this pattern.[...] It seems that [ɡ] is somewhat more difficult to articulate than the other basic plosives. "Ian Maddieson speculates that this may be due to a physical difficulty in voicing velars: Voicing requires that air flow into the mouth cavity, and the relatively small space allowed by the position of velar consonants means that it will fill up with air quickly, making voicing difficult to maintain in [ɡ] for as long as it is in [d] or [b]."HISTORY OF THE LETTERS:In Greek the symbol of the K (Kappa) turned the "right way" (the way it is in our writing), prior to this it was facing the other direction. Gamma was brought into Latin to represent the C. C had a line added to it to indicate the voiced version, G.SPELLINGS:k “key, keep, koala, kangaroo” “mask, make, pink, walk”c “cat, cost, cut” (contrast “cease, ace, ,macerate ”) Hard/softcc “accuse, stucco” ck “pick, stock”ch “charisma, Christ, choir, ache”Shakespeare's "Petruchio" probably should be [pəʼtɹu.tʃo] not [pəʼtɹu.ki.oʊ]g “game, gate, bag, agony” (contrast “gem, badge,magical ”) Hard/softgg “egg, dagger”gh “ghost, ghetto” (contrast “night, ought”)gu “guide, guest, guerrilla” foreign originckg blackguardx “examine, exhaust”Note that "x" can be /ks/ or /gz/ depending on the word, e.g. /ks/ "excellent" , /gz/ "exist".Soft G is the affricate /dʒ/, while Soft C is /s/.PHONETIC NOTATION: represented by lower case k and ɡIPA symbol for /ɡ/ is the "single-story" version of the g lowercase with an open tail, rather than a looptail. VARIATIONS:Not a lot of variations: mostly to do with voice onset timeVariation: final /k/ becoming fricative in Liverpool week [wiç], like [laiç], back [bax], dock [dɒχ]John Maidment, commenting on JC Wells' blog post on "VOT is more":"One might also like to add that VOT is sensitive to place of articulation. Other things being equal, the VOT of posterior articulations, velar and uvular, are considerably longer, at least for native English speakers, than articulations further forward in the vocal tract. A typical VOT for stressed syllable initial [k] in English is in the region of 120ms, while that for an equivalent [p]is only 60-70ms. I am pretty sure that this difference is an important secondary cue for the perception of place in voiceless plosives and one which, as far as I know, has not been properly investigated."Non-English Stop plosivesPalatalized stops (often heard in Russian, [tʲ] [dʲ] vs. Palatal stop [c] or [ɟ]Uvular stop, as in Arabic pronunciation of Qatar or Iraq [q].Though it's unlikely that a character will do a sound substitution on stop-plosives, however, characters might speak foreign language work, or say words within the text, such as place names or character names.Original Pronunciation: David Crystal is the leading proponent of this type of pronunciation, especially at the Globe Shakespeare Company in London. http://www.davidcrystal.com/DC_articles/Shakespeare11.pdf
