>> Trash, trash, trash. >> ACDC is coming to the PNW next year. One day and only though, Vancouver, BC, at BC Place, April 22nd. No dates for Seattle, just Vancouver on that April May tour. That is all that they have announced for North American. They're hitting all spots in the country, all different regions, I should say. And in those two months there, so it seems like that would be it. >> That the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, and they had Vegas as the other West Coast spots. >> Yeah, and they'll play in the Midwest and Chicago, and they'll play in the Northeast in Foxborough, and they'll play down in Tampa and Nashville. And so they're getting just about there in Arlington. So they're getting all parts of the country, so not a lot of dates. But at least you'll have one chance to see them here in the Pacific Northwest. April 22nd in Vancouver, and is it Friday that the tickets go? >> Tickets on Friday, yeah. >> And who's the big name comedian who just announced this morning? They're going to be coming to the climate pledge. Nate Barghazi for the climate pledge arena, November 7th. That's right, you get about a year's warning on that one. >> A year's notice for Nate Barghazi at the climate pledge, November 7th of next year. >> He sure packed out two shows at that ever-defence center. >> Yeah, I saw him on one of those shows. And he's hard to picture him in a super big room because he's kind of a, I've seen Eddie Murphy in an arena a few times. And Eddie, that kind of comedy sort of fit that loud kind of stuff. And a lot of visual, kind of fit that, fit the arena. But we'll see how Barghazi does. Of course, the score board is score boarded. The video board is so big inside the climate pledge. >> You'll be able to see the facial expression. >> Yeah, you'll see that without a problem. Okay, here's another horror film along the lines of where a kid's, a beloved kid's like animated figure, whatever, turned bad. They did that with Winnie the Pooh. >> Yeah. >> Remember they turned Winnie the Pooh into like some Halloween nasty Halloween character? Well, now they are doing it with Popeye. It's Popeye the Slayer Man. >> [LAUGH] >> Yeah, it's a new movie that's coming out. Popeye the Slayer Man, where Popeye follows the plot follows a group of teenagers who, this is not a cartoon, who managed to sneak into an abandoned spinach canning factory in hopes to film a documentary about the Sailor Man, who apparently haunts the area. Ooh, there's a story about a Sailor Man who haunts the area and he lives inside this spinach factory, this spinach canning place. So they go in there and things turn ugly. >> [LAUGH] >> You know, olive oil's in on it too. >> Now who is the guy who gave him trouble, Brutus, right? >> Oh yeah. >> Brutus or Bluto, whatever his name was, he was. >> Who's next, Mary Poppins are going to start making people? >> Yeah, yeah, let's see what this. >> No end to possibilities there. >> The door of the explorer starts going on a killing spree. >> And just started streaming a couple days ago on HBO, the Yacht Rock documentary, and in a second here, we're going to play a clip from Donald Fagan, who wanted no part of this documentary and made it very clear to them in the documentary during a phone call. But before we do that, the Christopher Cross stuff. Now he is one of the big Yacht Rock people because of this song. >> [MUSIC] >> You know, the sailing song. >> He had a couple. But he was kind of, he was one of the stars of the Yacht Rock documentary. Because he, I don't know, you picture a guy like that with the sailing, probably, you know, and I never got in any kind of trouble or anything like that, or was never any, hey, he said, you know what, I got my career started. I funded the beginning of my career with weed sales. >> The original demos I did, all the songs ended up on the record. I financed my original songs by selling weed. >> I had a very successful weed business, and I bought, you know, tape machine and some consoles and stuff, and invested in the studio in Austin. >> And as we talked about a few days ago, you know, he, that ride like the wind song, that was a huge hit for him, ride like the wind. Well, that was- >> He was on the A train that day. >> Yeah, he was on the acid. [MUSIC] >> I was playing at a club in Houston. We were doing 1985 by McCartney of Wings. And in the middle of that song, I started doing this da-da-da-da. It's a sea monitor, sort of da-da-da-da. People would go crazy. They sort of dancing and moving around. It just seemed to really connect with the audience. So we would jam on that riff, and then we drove from Houston down to Austin to record, and I was sitting in the front seat of the van, and I'd take an acid, and I wrote the words to ride like the wind, driving from Houston, Austin, on acid. [MUSIC] >> And it was kind of cool to hear him tell the story. We've read this story before about how he played with Deep Purple when he was like, I don't know, 18 or 19 years old in San Antonio. >> My band in San Antonio at the time is called Flash, and my manager, Joe Miller, he had a club called the Jam Factor, and he booked Deep Purple on their first US show. And Richie Blackmore, the guitar player, got a reaction to a flu shot, and he couldn't perform. So Joe talked to the band and said, look, I got this guy, Chris Gepard. He's a big fan of Richie's, and he could probably sit in. So they told people, Richie's not here, Chris is going to get up play guitar. He'd get a refund if you wanted, but he just said that people stayed. Richie later told me that we had people sit in over the years, but no one ever subbed for me in my tire career, except you. And I said, well, you know, there you go. >> He can rip it. Mr. Sailing with the Purple. How about that? All right, and then the guy that they say, who is the, the guys who did the documentary for HBO, said the guy who really, the, the group that is really at the center of all of the Yacht Rock is Steely Dan, because it was Steely Dan that brought in all these session musicians over the years, guys who became, who started up Toto, the Picaros, and all those guys, and Michael McDonald, and, and many of them played with Steely Dan on a number of their albums. >> They got that Jazzy Field. >> Yeah, and then they went all went off and did their different things, Michael McDonald and whatever, but they, and they were able to get the documentarians, were able to get all of the Mount Rushmore of Yacht Rockers to contribute to the documentary. Michael McDonald, the, the, the guys from Toto, Kenny Logins, you heard Christopher Cross, and they tried to get Donald Fagan of Steely Dan to be a part of it. And that's, here's how that went. >> Hello, Mr. Fagan. >> Yeah, this is, this is he. >> Yeah, hi, this is, uh, this is Garrett. I'm the one making this Yacht Rock documentary. Yeah, so I've been talking to a lot of people that played with you and Steely Dan over the years, and I was wondering if you'd sit down with me and talk about your music in this genre. >> Hi, and what genre is that? >> Um, Yacht Rock. >> Oh, yeah, right. Well, I tell you what, what do you go f*ck yourself? >> Yeah, bye. They don't want anything to do with you. It made a lot of money off of that Yacht Rock stuff over the years. Steely Dan, Brad and John 92.9 KISM, our top three today, the greatest leftovers of all time.
