00:02:10.849 Oh, wow. That's good, Brian. 40 00:02:10.870 --> 00:02:11.389 That's good. 41 00:02:11.430 --> 00:02:12.330 How you doing, everybody? 42 00:02:12.349 --> 00:02:12.629 How about that? 43 00:02:13.340 --> 00:02:15.500 And last but not least, the host of Shaving Cream. 44 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.879 Last night, she and two friends watched Dolly Parton movies 45 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.310 back to back. Luckily, she was the one facing the TV. 46 00:02:23.030 --> 00:02:25.830 Barb reveals. 47 00:02:26.849 --> 00:02:27.770 Good one, Brian. 48 00:02:27.810 --> 00:02:28.849 Hey, everybody. 49 00:02:29.870 --> 00:02:32.169 All right, good to see everybody. Yeah, poor Mercedes is 50 00:02:32.229 --> 00:02:35.310 under the weather. Like, can't even sit up kind of 51 00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:35.909 under the weather. 52 00:02:36.379 --> 00:02:36.939 Oh, no. 53 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.919 We wish her well. She'll be back on her feet 54 00:02:38.939 --> 00:02:42.699 and walking into a bar soon enough. Um, so yeah, 55 00:02:42.740 --> 00:02:45.259 I think, why don't we just hop right in and, uh, Gail, 56 00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:47.680 why don't you lead us off tonight? Okay. 57 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:54.430 Um, as Brian said, all the biographical stuff has been 58 00:02:54.689 --> 00:02:57.430 all over the news. One thing I would like to 59 00:02:57.509 --> 00:03:01.650 say about Dolly Parton is she's one of the few people, 60 00:03:02.090 --> 00:03:05.719 few celebrities and few people in general who used her 61 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:10.680 powers for good instead of evil. And yeah. 62 00:03:11.550 --> 00:03:12.250 Yeah. 63 00:03:12.569 --> 00:03:18.789 Yeah. Um, what an amazing woman. A lot of people 64 00:03:18.889 --> 00:03:25.370 don't have empathy anymore, but through her charity work, um, 65 00:03:26.189 --> 00:03:31.439 obviously she was just a very caring person and the 66 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:36.080 world will miss her, I think. So I chose a 67 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:43.400 song off of her last album. Um, Her last album 68 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:51.090 was called Rockstar, and it was her 49th. Four, nine, 69 00:03:51.110 --> 00:03:56.469 that's a lot of albums, studio albums. And it was 70 00:03:56.569 --> 00:04:02.560 released on November 17th, 2023, by Butterfly Records and Big 71 00:04:02.620 --> 00:04:07.500 Machine Records. The album is a collaborative project with a 72 00:04:07.539 --> 00:04:12.460 whole bunch of different rock musicians, and that was... her 73 00:04:12.659 --> 00:04:20.449 only album-length step into the rock genre. It came about 74 00:04:20.589 --> 00:04:24.290 because Dolly Parton was nominated for the Rock and Roll 75 00:04:24.329 --> 00:04:29.829 Hall of Fame in 2022, and initially she declined the 76 00:04:29.870 --> 00:04:34.449 nomination because her background was in country music, not rock, 77 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:44.709 and she didn't feel that she qualified for So she 78 00:04:44.769 --> 00:04:48.069 declared her intention at that point to record an album 79 00:04:48.129 --> 00:04:51.689 of rock covers with a host of musical guests from 80 00:04:51.769 --> 00:04:54.100 rock to justify her inclusion. 81 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:54.480 Right. 82 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.579 Didn't they tell her that whether you decline it or not, 83 00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:58.430 you're getting voted in? 84 00:04:59.259 --> 00:04:59.879 Probably. 85 00:04:59.899 --> 00:05:00.199 Yeah. 86 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.230 Probably. Some of the people who she worked with on 87 00:05:04.259 --> 00:05:10.170 this album were Ann Wilson, Rob Halford, Nikki Sixx, John Five, 88 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.360 She did a version of Let It Be featuring the 89 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:19.560 two surviving Beatles members, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and 90 00:05:19.860 --> 00:05:24.199 Linda Perry from Four Non Blondes. And that's the song 91 00:05:24.300 --> 00:05:29.399 I chose for this episode. They did together the song 92 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.850 What's Up, which was written and originally sung by Linda 93 00:05:33.889 --> 00:05:36.870 Perry as the lead singer of the American rock band 94 00:05:37.529 --> 00:05:42.399 Four Non Blondes. when Four Non Blondes came out with 95 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:48.680 their debut album in 1992, which was called Bigger, Better, Faster, More. 96 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:53.329 That's what that song was on, and it was released 97 00:05:53.470 --> 00:06:00.189 as a single in 1993. So let's listen to the song, 98 00:06:00.230 --> 00:06:03.170 and then I just have one or two little things 99 00:06:03.230 --> 00:06:03.529 to say. 100 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.339 All of these years and my life is still Just 101 00:06:23.379 --> 00:06:27.839 trying to get up that great big hill of hope 102 00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:36.269 For a destination I realized quickly when I knew I 103 00:06:36.370 --> 00:06:40.389 should that the world was made up of this brotherhood 104 00:06:40.670 --> 00:06:44.970 of man. For whatever that means. 105 00:06:47.550 --> 00:06:49.879 And so I cry sometimes when. 106 00:06:49.689 --> 00:06:52.959 I'm lying in bed just to get it all out. 107 00:06:53.019 --> 00:06:55.560 What's in my head now? 108 00:06:56.620 --> 00:07:02.649 I'm feeling a little peculiar. And so I wake up 109 00:07:02.750 --> 00:07:04.009 in the morning and I. 110 00:07:03.990 --> 00:07:07.389 Step outside and I take a deep breath and I 111 00:07:07.410 --> 00:07:08.589 get real. 112 00:07:08.370 --> 00:07:11.500 High and I scream at the top of my lungs, 113 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.740 what's going on? 114 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:22.120 And then I say, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. 115 00:07:22.139 --> 00:07:27.649 I say, hey, what's going on? 116 00:07:29.209 --> 00:07:30.230 Then I say, hey. 117 00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:48.129 What's going on? 118 00:07:49.250 --> 00:07:49.769 And I. 119 00:07:51.269 --> 00:07:51.649 Try. 120 00:08:00.540 -->

00:08:05.490 Oh, my God, do I try. I try all the 121 00:08:05.529 --> 00:08:10.889 time in this institution. 122 00:08:12.290 --> 00:08:18.050 And I pray. Oh, my God, do I pray. I 123 00:08:18.129 --> 00:08:23.360 pray every single day for a resolution. 124 00:08:26.350 --> 00:08:29.769 And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed 125 00:08:29.810 --> 00:08:30.410 Just to. 126 00:08:30.290 --> 00:08:32.649 Get it all out, what's in my. 127 00:08:33.309 --> 00:08:35.730 Head And I, I'm. 128 00:08:35.590 --> 00:08:39.539 Feeling a little peculiar. 129 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.799 And so I wake up in the morning and I 130 00:08:42.820 --> 00:08:46.200 step outside And I take a deep breath and I 131 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:47.419 get real. 132 00:08:47.259 --> 00:08:50.259 High And I scream at the top of my lungs, 133 00:08:50.370 --> 00:08:52.289 what's going on? 134 00:08:52.409 --> 00:08:56.250 And then I say, cry I. 135 00:08:57.649 --> 00:09:08.169 Say, hey, what's going on? 136 00:09:08.889 --> 00:09:12.009 And I say, hey. 137 00:09:12.049 --> 00:09:24.440 Hey, I say, hey, what's going on? 138 00:09:26.070 --> 00:09:30.720 Then I say, hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah.

For a destination. 144 00:10:22.149 --> 00:10:25.009 Great song. Great cover. 145 00:10:26.779 --> 00:10:30.039 That's one of those catchy songs that everybody likes. Yes. 146 00:10:30.299 --> 00:10:33.519 You know, very simple, straightforward. I can see why she 147 00:10:33.539 --> 00:10:33.909 picked it. 148 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:38.669 I was saying off air just now that my neighbors 149 00:10:38.750 --> 00:10:41.549 probably hate me because yesterday when I was trying to 150 00:10:41.610 --> 00:10:46.190 decide what song to pick out, I listened to this 151 00:10:46.389 --> 00:10:49.169 one to, you know, see if it was what I 152 00:10:49.230 --> 00:10:53.850 wanted to use. And here I was with my windows 153 00:10:53.950 --> 00:10:57.929 open singing this at the top of my lungs. So 154 00:10:58.049 --> 00:11:01.820 my neighbors probably hate me, but I can sing on key. So, right. 155 00:11:02.179 --> 00:11:04.840 And you probably had no bears going through your garbage 156 00:11:04.899 --> 00:11:05.580 at the same time. 157 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:10.220 So that's, we only, we only had a, Oh, I 158 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:12.460 should tell the new neighbors this. We only had a 159 00:11:12.500 --> 00:11:15.679 bear once. a couple of years ago during the summer. 160 00:11:17.059 --> 00:11:19.139 Was he carrying a picnic basket? No. 161 00:11:19.539 --> 00:11:19.779 Okay. 162 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.539 Hey, boo-boo. 163 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:28.059 So back to the Rockstar album. It received generally positive 164 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.580 reviews from music critics. Commercially, it debuted at number three 165 00:11:34.340 --> 00:11:41.919 on the Billboard 200. That is not bad. selling 128,000 166 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:48.190 equivalent album units in its first week. It became Dolly 167 00:11:48.230 --> 00:11:53.649 Parton's highest-charting studio album, as well as topping the country 168 00:11:54.110 --> 00:11:59.870 and rock albums charts. That's pretty amazing. It just shows 169 00:11:59.929 --> 00:12:04.610 you her fan base and how well-loved and admired she was. 170 00:12:05.110 --> 00:12:06.809 Yeah, the fan base is everyone. 171 00:12:08.590 --> 00:12:11.210 Yeah, I don't think there's anybody out there who doesn't, 172 00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:15.480 you know, have a respect and enjoy her music, even 173 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.860 if you don't really know that much about it. It's 174 00:12:17.980 --> 00:12:22.059 very distinct and it's very classy, I guess is another 175 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:22.860 way to describe it. 176 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:23.580 Yes. 177 00:12:24.139 --> 00:12:24.480 You know? 178 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.460 Exactly. I was going to say that personally, I don't 179 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.230 really know that much about her musical career. You know, 180 00:12:31.250 --> 00:12:34.450 I know it's vast. I just never really paid attention. 181 00:12:34.490 --> 00:12:37.519 But I did know that She was just like an 182 00:12:37.860 --> 00:12:42.769 exemplary human being as far as her generosity. And she 183 00:12:42.809 --> 00:12:44.450 got it right as far as I'm concerned. 184 00:12:44.470 --> 00:12:44.710 Yes. 185 00:12:46.149 --> 00:12:46.850 She got it right. 186 00:12:47.250 --> 00:12:48.490 She walked the walk. 187 00:12:49.769 --> 00:12:53.889 Yes, she did. Yes, she did. All right. Excellent lead off. 188 00:12:54.370 --> 00:12:55.909 We're going to take a real quick break, but we 189 00:12:55.929 --> 00:12:57.980 have lots more coming up. So stick around. We will 190 00:12:58.019 --> 00:13:00.879 be right back. Hudson River Radio. 191 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:02.779 Your dog likes us. 192 00:13:04.100 --> 00:13:07.250 This concludes the first part of this cassette. Please turn 193 00:13:07.289 --> 00:13:15.070 the cassette over and begin again on side two. This 194 00:13:15.289 --> 00:13:23.279 is HudsonRiverRadio.com. 195 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:27.899 And welcome back to our Remembering Dolly Parton episode. John, 196 00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:30.299 we're up to you. Okay, everybody. 197 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.070 For my selection, I had to really give this some thought. 198 00:13:34.350 --> 00:13:34.610 You know. 199 00:13:35.460 --> 00:13:39.759 Dolly Parton was an amazing person, larger than life in 200 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:46.259 many ways, a real classy woman, a wonderful musician, and 201 00:13:46.509 -->

00:13:52.409 everything about her exudes a level of classical sophistication to 202 00:13:52.429 --> 00:13:55.809 a certain degree, I think. Her music is so well-known. 203 00:13:56.379 --> 00:13:59.610 Everybody knows it. Everybody hears it. So what I tried 204 00:13:59.669 --> 00:14:03.669 to do was find something a little out of the 205 00:14:04.129 --> 00:14:08.490 realm for Dolly Parton. And like everything we do here 206 00:14:08.769 --> 00:14:12.309 at Hudson River Radio, I tried to dig a little deeper, 207 00:14:12.710 --> 00:14:16.009 as they say. And I went for something that she 208 00:14:16.049 --> 00:14:19.490 did when she was a teenager before she was famous. 209 00:14:20.490 --> 00:14:23.090 And before she was famous, when she was a teenager, 210 00:14:23.129 --> 00:14:30.740 she actually recorded two songs with her uncle, Billy Owens, 211 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:36.100 or Bill Owens, in 1959 and 1960, when she was 212 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:39.720 like 13, 14 years old, 15, whatever it was. And 213 00:14:39.980 --> 00:14:43.870 neither song was very popular. They basically were played in 214 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:49.000 the Nashville market. They were formally released as singles on 215 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:54.759 his own label, his own record label. And they never 216 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:59.399 got traction. But when you hear either song, you will 217 00:14:59.580 --> 00:15:04.669 instantly recognize it for who it comes from. And that's 218 00:15:04.710 --> 00:15:08.190 what I wanted to play. That when you hear the song, 219 00:15:08.330 --> 00:15:13.769 in my view, you can hear who Dolly Parton will become. 220 00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:18.549 when she becomes famous. And you get the very beginnings 221 00:15:19.049 --> 00:15:22.029 of this song, which wasn't very popular when it came 222 00:15:22.149 --> 00:15:26.610 out in 1960. The track I'd selected was So Little 223 00:15:26.789 --> 00:15:30.590 I Wanted, So Little I Got. It was recorded in 224 00:15:30.590 --> 00:15:34.289 1960 with her uncle, Billy Owens. She was about 14 225 00:15:34.289 --> 00:15:37.929 or 15 at the time. So we're talking early high 226 00:15:37.990 --> 00:15:41.129 school when this came out. And you can hear her 227 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.350 voice here and you can just hear someday this woman 228 00:15:44.409 --> 00:15:46.409 is going to be famous. So Brian, why don't we 229 00:15:46.450 --> 00:15:47.970 just play it and then we can talk a little 230 00:15:47.990 --> 00:15:49.690 bit about it after the fact. 231 00:15:50.090 --> 00:16:00.889 So little I wanted So little I've got Just a 232 00:16:01.250 --> 00:16:07.649 little attention Is all that I wanted Just a few 233 00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:09.440 kind words. 234 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:13.120 But I got disappointed. 235 00:16:15.259 --> 00:16:22.590 Just a little bit of loving would sure help a lot. 236 00:16:22.610 --> 00:16:30.250 So little I wanted, so little I've got. 237 00:16:30.889 -->

00:16:33.759 So little I. 238 00:16:33.779 --> 00:16:35.480 Wanted, just a smile. 239 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:51.850 Just to be around you That's not asking. 240 00:17:10.589 --> 00:17:12.809 So little of. 241 00:17:12.690 --> 00:17:21.279 Your time you spend with me. So little of happiness 242 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:30.369 I ever see. I'm getting no sleep, and you're the 243 00:17:30.450 --> 00:17:32.089 reason I'm not. 244 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:48.170 So little I wanted, just a smile and a kiss 245 00:17:48.769 --> 00:17:56.519 So little I asked for, but I got even less 246 00:17:57.819 --> 00:18:01.740 Just to be around you, that's not. 247 00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:02.720 Asking much. 248 00:18:12.509 --> 00:18:13.230 Okay. 249 00:18:13.329 --> 00:18:15.509 So little I wanted, so little I got. That was 250 00:18:15.609 --> 00:18:19.269 one of two Dolly Parton recordings from those early years 251 00:18:19.329 --> 00:18:23.140 when she was a teenager with her uncle, Billy Owens, 252 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:28.779 who was her mentor through her early career. And apparently 253 00:18:28.819 --> 00:18:31.880 somebody she cherished but didn't talk much about. And he 254 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.440 only died in 2021 at the age of 85. So 255 00:18:34.619 --> 00:18:37.549 he was actually a young uncle. He wasn't that much 256 00:18:37.609 --> 00:18:38.170 older than her. 257 00:18:39.170 --> 00:18:39.269 And. 258 00:18:40.549 --> 00:18:43.799 So these two, this song, So Little I Wanted, So 259 00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:46.480 Little I Got, was one of two. The other was 260 00:18:46.579 --> 00:18:50.480 Puppy Love, and they both have this basic theme of 261 00:18:50.579 --> 00:18:55.990 disappointment in love, just some irony. Both of these songs 262 00:18:56.029 --> 00:19:00.970 were her basically building her career, building her brand, building 263 00:19:01.009 --> 00:19:04.849 her style, basically. And from what I found about it, 264 00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:09.500 and while neither song became well known or even a 265 00:19:09.619 --> 00:19:13.799 hit at all, they were the framework and the building 266 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.700 block for who she became. And that is why I 267 00:19:17.259 --> 00:19:20.660 enjoyed this particular selection, because it goes back to the 268 00:19:20.740 --> 00:19:23.480 early days of who this woman, not who she was, 269 00:19:23.539 --> 00:19:26.480 but who she wanted to be. I'll leave it at that. 270 00:19:26.819 --> 00:19:29.200 That's cool. I had no idea about her uncle. I 271 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.759 didn't know anything about him. I'd never heard of him before. 272 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.420 Yeah, Billy Owens, her uncle. And she did this one 273 00:19:36.529 --> 00:19:38.750 and that other one, Puppy Love, which both of them 274 00:19:38.849 --> 00:19:43.529 were the same style of song, that kind of longing 275 00:19:43.569 --> 00:19:46.930 for love and that rejection and giving everything into everything

276 00:19:46.970 --> 00:19:49.980 and then not getting much at all in return. which 277 00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:54.480 is ironic because both neither song was very well You know, 278 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:56.680 I mean, I guess it was well received to a 279 00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.119 certain degree for the audience in the Nashville area in 280 00:20:00.140 --> 00:20:05.789 the 19, you know, 59, 1960, 61 timeframe. But it 281 00:20:05.829 --> 00:20:08.630 just never took off. And it was slow and it 282 00:20:08.650 --> 00:20:11.279 was kind of twangy. But again, she was what, 13, 14, 283 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:11.710 15 years old. 284 00:20:11.730 --> 00:20:18.430 So she's. The way they recorded it was getting out 285 00:20:18.470 --> 00:20:21.059 of fashion by that point, too. Yes. This was when 286 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:22.740 the strings were coming in and things were starting to 287 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:25.460 get lush and more complex and layered and all that. 288 00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:27.799 And they were just two people and a guitar. 289 00:20:28.420 --> 00:20:29.940 Yeah, that was pretty much it. Two people and a 290 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:32.140 guitar with some recording equipment. 291 00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:32.880 Down there in Nashville. 292 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.140 But what a voice. 293 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:34.839 Yeah. 294 00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:37.690 And you can hear that. You know, when you hear 295 00:20:37.730 --> 00:20:39.799 it now, I mean, it would be interesting to kind 296 00:20:39.819 --> 00:20:42.099 of go back in time and to hear this without 297 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:43.960 knowing who she became. 298 00:20:43.980 --> 00:20:44.660 Yeah. 299 00:20:44.859 --> 00:20:47.880 You know, but knowing who she became and you can 300 00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:51.039 kind of listen to this, you really get a sense. 301 00:20:51.099 --> 00:20:52.859 For what she was building. 302 00:20:53.180 --> 00:20:56.589 When you hear in that early track, you can hear 303 00:20:56.609 --> 00:20:58.650 the beginnings of what she became. And that's what I 304 00:20:58.710 --> 00:21:00.390 enjoyed a lot about it. So I hope you all 305 00:21:00.430 --> 00:21:03.869 out there enjoyed it. And maybe this will entice you 306 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.029 to do a little more research, not into the modern stuff, 307 00:21:08.069 --> 00:21:11.750 but into where she came from and a little bit 308 00:21:11.769 --> 00:21:14.210 about her family. This guy, Billy Owens, her uncle, who 309 00:21:14.289 --> 00:21:17.549 basically went and did this duet and helped her in 310 00:21:17.589 --> 00:21:21.079 these early years. you know, early high school years of 311 00:21:21.099 --> 00:21:21.619 Dolly Parton. 312 00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:23.960 Yeah, I honestly didn't know anything about him. I think 313 00:21:23.980 --> 00:21:26.420 we all know her family history, growing up poor and 314 00:21:26.730 --> 00:21:28.750 all that, you know, but I didn't know about this uncle. 315 00:21:29.410 --> 00:21:33.000 Yeah, some poor high school kid, you know, her uncle said, hey, 316 00:21:33.849 --> 00:21:34.990 recognize the talent? 317 00:21:35.309 --> 00:21:35.569 Yeah. 318 00:21:35.930 --> 00:21:38.470 And probably was just playing some guitar with her one 319 00:21:38.509 --> 00:21:40.339 day and says, you know, we ought to record this. 320 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:40.720 Yeah. 321 00:21:41.339 --> 00:21:43.619 And it never took off. It never became a big 322 00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:44.140 thing for her. 323 00:21:44.259 --> 00:21:45.779 It was a good start. Yep. 324 00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:46.339 It counts. 325 00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:47.650 Yeah, it does. 326 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:48.359 It does. 327 00:21:48.980 --> 00:21:51.180 So I think I enjoyed it for that and for 328 00:21:51.220 --> 00:21:54.339 that alone. So hope you all enjoyed, folks. And Dolly, 329 00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:56.000 may you rest in peace. God bless. 330 00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:56.960 Yeah, it was a good one. 331 00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:57.359 All right. 332 00:21:57.380 --> 00:21:59.640 Thanks, John. Neil, we're up to you. 333 00:22:00.420 --> 00:22:04.309 Right. Well, Dolly Parton originally wrote and recorded the song 334 00:22:04.990 --> 00:22:08.630 I Will Always Love You in 1973 and released it 335 00:22:08.990 --> 00:22:12.869 the following year. She wrote the song as a farewell 336 00:22:12.930 --> 00:22:16.700 and thank you to her business partner and also another mentor, 337 00:22:17.259 --> 00:22:22.759 Porter Wagoner, after she decided to pursue a solo career. Now, 338 00:22:22.859 --> 00:22:27.759 Wagoner was an accomplished singer-songwriter and a TV star in 339 00:22:27.779 --> 00:22:30.940 his own right, and Parton had appeared as a regular 340 00:22:31.140 --> 00:22:35.509 on his TV show for seven years. Now, it's said 341 00:22:35.589 --> 00:22:39.769 that Dolly sang the song for Wagoner, and when she finished, 342 00:22:40.609 --> 00:22:44.109 he was in tears. He was just overwhelmed. And he 343 00:22:44.170 --> 00:22:47.339 told her, quote, That's the best song you ever wrote. 344 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:53.410 You can go if I can produce the song. And 345 00:22:53.750 --> 00:22:57.630 he did, and the song was a huge hit for Parton. 346 00:22:57.750 --> 00:23:01.869 It reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country chart, 347 00:23:02.289 --> 00:23:06.579 not once, but twice. Yes, first when it was released 348 00:23:06.619 --> 00:23:11.900 in 1974, and then again in 1982 when it was 349 00:23:11.940 --> 00:23:15.670 re-recorded for the soundtrack of the film That's Little Whorehouse 350 00:23:15.730 --> 00:23:19.910 in Texas, which I'm sure we'll talk about that in 351 00:23:19.930 --> 00:23:20.390 a little bit. 352 00:23:21.569 --> 00:23:21.849 Maybe. 353 00:23:21.910 --> 00:23:26.589 That is, though, a rare distinction indeed, having a hit 354 00:23:26.829 --> 00:23:30.579 twice with the same song. But

wait, there's more. 355 00:23:30.619 --> 00:23:31.500 There's more. 356 00:23:31.619 --> 00:23:37.279 The best is yet to come. In 1992, Whitney Houston 357 00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:40.859 recorded an arrangement of I Will Always Love You for 358 00:23:40.900 --> 00:23:44.079 the film The Bodyguard, in which she starred... along with 359 00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:48.400 Kevin Costner. And needless to say, the song was an 360 00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:52.940 enormous worldwide success. That's putting it mildly. It sold over 361 00:23:52.940 --> 00:23:59.150 24 million copies, and it reached number one on 34 362 00:23:59.150 --> 00:24:03.630 different singles charts. 34 different charts, it was number one. 363 00:24:03.650 --> 00:24:04.509 Wow. 364 00:24:04.529 --> 00:24:09.130 That's impressive. Houston's version stayed at number one on the 365 00:24:09.170 --> 00:24:14.049 Billboard Hot 100 alone. For 14 weeks. Number one for 366 00:24:14.049 --> 00:24:17.640 14 weeks. Just that chart. And that was a record 367 00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:23.000 at the time. Now, for her part, Dolly Parton earned 368 00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:29.779 over $ 10 million in royalties. Just from Whitney Houston's version alone. 369 00:24:30.420 --> 00:24:31.599 Wow. 370 00:24:31.819 --> 00:24:36.869 In 1992 alone. One year, one song that she just wrote, 371 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:39.650 in this case, $ 10 million. 372 00:24:39.690 --> 00:24:39.809 Mm-hmm. 373 00:24:43.230 --> 00:24:45.630 That's mind-blowing to me. 374 00:24:45.650 --> 00:24:47.230 It is. Make sure you want to stop the show 375 00:24:47.269 --> 00:24:48.299 and go try to write something. 376 00:24:52.259 --> 00:24:57.460 One song, that would be enough for anybody. Anyway, now 377 00:24:57.500 --> 00:25:03.029 those royalties contributed to Parton's overall net worth, which she 378 00:25:03.369 --> 00:25:07.609 went about and invested in lots of different charities. Now, 379 00:25:07.650 --> 00:25:12.880 in this case, in part, to an office complex in Nashville, Tennessee, 380 00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:18.250 located in a predominantly black neighborhood. Now, she referred to 381 00:25:18.289 --> 00:25:20.869 it and affectionately referred to it as the house that 382 00:25:20.910 --> 00:25:24.609 Whitney built. And she saw it not only as a 383 00:25:24.670 --> 00:25:28.119 tribute to Whitney Houston, but it was also an investment 384 00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:31.680 in the Nashville community. So that was along with all 385 00:25:31.700 --> 00:25:36.720 the other extensive charity work that she had done. including 386 00:25:36.740 --> 00:25:40.259 the Imagination Library and the Dollywood Foundation. And I know 387 00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:42.789 there's a lot more. So if you know any, please 388 00:25:42.869 --> 00:25:43.710 chime in. 389 00:25:43.750 --> 00:25:47.029 She did the buddy program to keep kids in school. 390 00:25:48.410 --> 00:25:50.509 Started with middle school kids. They had to partner up 391 00:25:50.549 -->

00:25:52.970 with somebody and encourage each other to get through high school. 392 00:25:53.470 --> 00:25:57.259 And if they graduated, they got $ 500 each. Every kid 393 00:25:57.299 --> 00:25:59.900 that graduated got $ 500. And the dropout rate went from 394 00:25:59.900 --> 00:26:08.980 35% down to 6% in Sevier County. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. And, 395 00:26:09.369 --> 00:26:12.390 you know, when COVID hit, she donated a million dollars 396 00:26:12.410 --> 00:26:16.490 to Vanderbilt University for vaccine research. 397 00:26:17.329 --> 00:26:17.609 Wow. 398 00:26:18.089 --> 00:26:20.210 Without even thinking about it, it seems like. Wow. 399 00:26:20.450 --> 00:26:23.130 Well, this is what I say. She got it. She understood. 400 00:26:23.150 --> 00:26:25.130 She was quiet. You know, she was one of those 401 00:26:25.190 --> 00:26:27.630 people that just quietly contributed. 402 00:26:27.650 --> 00:26:30.710 Oh, there's so many that we don't even know about. Honestly, 403 00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.079 Elvis was like that, too. There's so much stuff that 404 00:26:33.099 --> 00:26:37.000 he did that we... still probably don't know about, but yeah, 405 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:40.799 she did a lot behind the scenes. And, you know, 406 00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:43.140 she was already taking credit for it when it came 407 00:26:43.180 --> 00:26:44.880 to light, but she wasn't looking for the credit. 408 00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:49.279 Right, right. It just, you know, like I said, she 409 00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:53.849 got it right. What else can you say? Now, the 410 00:26:53.890 --> 00:26:57.549 song I Will Always Love You was recorded by many 411 00:26:57.710 --> 00:27:02.869 other artists as well, including Linda Ronstadt, Kenny Rogers, Leanne Rimes, 412 00:27:03.390 --> 00:27:06.220 and It's even said that Elvis, Elvis Presley, had an 413 00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:09.259 interest in perhaps covering it. I don't think he did. 414 00:27:09.619 --> 00:27:12.000 He wanted to. You know why he didn't? I don't 415 00:27:12.019 --> 00:27:13.220 want to step on your story. 416 00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:15.369 If you haven't. No, I would love to know why. 417 00:27:15.380 --> 00:27:18.369 Colonel Tom Parker said, yeah, Elvis will do it. Elvis 418 00:27:18.410 --> 00:27:21.250 wanted to do it, but Elvis only records things if 419 00:27:21.289 --> 00:27:22.470 he gets half the publishing. 420 00:27:22.490 --> 00:27:23.690 Oh, boy. 421 00:27:23.750 --> 00:27:27.990 And Dolly, in her very polite way, told Colonel Tom 422 00:27:28.029 --> 00:27:30.839 Parker where he could stick something and get the song 423 00:27:30.890 --> 00:27:35.319 for herself. But supposedly Elvis actually sang that to Priscilla 424 00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:37.619 the day of their divorce as they were walking out 425 00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:42.849 of the courthouse. That is the story that Priscilla has told. 426 00:27:43.250 --> 00:27:45.049 Even if it's not true, it's a great thought. 427 00:27:45.289 --> 00:27:49.329 I hope somebody had a little tape recorder. 428 00:27:50.089 --> 00:27:53.730 I'm guessing it may have a little embellishment there. But yes, 429 00:27:53.849 --> 00:27:56.740 Elvis actually really did like the song, and Parker's the 430 00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:58.339 one who interfered. 431 00:28:00.230 --> 00:28:06.680 Well, that doesn't surprise me either. But so needless to say, 432 00:28:06.700 --> 00:28:09.279 there have been a lot of different cover versions of 433 00:28:09.339 --> 00:28:14.059 this song. But I don't think any cover quite compares 434 00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:16.700 to this one. Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you 435 00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:21.819 Me First and the Gimme Gimme's rendition of I Will 436 00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:22.579 Always Love You. 437 00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:37.819 Always So I'll go But I'll know I'll think. 438 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:39.420 Of you Each step of the way And know We'll. 439 00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:42.359 Always love you We'll always love you Bittersweet Memories. 440 00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:07.259 That's all I am taking with me. 441 00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:12.000 Goodbye. Please don't cry. We both know. 442 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:18.619 I'm not what you need. We'll always love you. We'll 443 00:29:20.210 --> 00:29:24.250 always love you. 444 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:44.809 I hope life treats you kind. 445 00:29:46.109 --> 00:29:49.089 And I hope that you have all that you ever 446 00:29:49.150 --> 00:29:49.890 dreamed of. 447 00:29:50.769 --> 00:29:52.009 And I wish you joy. 448 00:29:52.829 --> 00:29:54.309 And I wish you happiness. 449 00:29:55.670 --> 00:29:58.750 But above all of this, I wish you happiness. 450 00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:24.049 We'll always love you. 451 00:30:24.069 --> 00:30:25.319 We'll always love you. 452 00:30:25.329 --> 00:30:25.509 Yeah. Yeah. 453 00:30:25.529 --> 00:30:27.750 Yeah, and I love that version of the song, too. Now, 454 00:30:27.890 --> 00:30:33.289 I don't think that version made $ 10 million. I would 455 00:30:33.349 --> 00:30:37.700 be surprised if it made $ 10, but I think it's awesome. 456 00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:40.799 It bought a lot of coffee for at least five people. 457 00:30:42.750 --> 00:30:48.029 Maybe even a donut. They might have had to share it. 458 00:30:48.049 --> 00:30:50.269 Which is still better than anything I've written, so I'm 459 00:30:50.309 --> 00:30:52.380 not knocking anything. 460 00:30:53.220 --> 00:30:56.859 Anyway, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes formed in San Francisco, California, 461 00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:01.799 back in 1995. So they've been around for a while now, 462 00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:07.509 working exclusively as a cover band and specializing in rapid-fire 463 00:31:07.569 --> 00:31:12.210 punk interpretations of songs from a wide range of musical genres, 464 00:31:12.509 --> 00:31:17.039 and usually and often with a humorous edge. And they 465 00:31:17.099 --> 00:31:20.319 also were known to incorporate

riffs from classic punk rock 466 00:31:20.339 --> 00:31:26.680 songs themselves into their performance. Now, the Gimme Gimmes are 467 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.779 what you might call a punk rock supergroup, if such 468 00:31:30.819 --> 00:31:34.849 a thing is even possible. Because they've had sort of 469 00:31:34.869 --> 00:31:40.509 a fluid and rotating... roster of musicians throughout their career, 470 00:31:41.539 --> 00:31:46.619 including Fat Mike from NoFX, Chris Shifflett from the Foo Fighters, 471 00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:58.799 and C.J. Ramone from... Oh, yeah. C.J. Ramone from the Ramones. 472 00:31:58.859 --> 00:32:06.210 They've all been among the band's many, many members. Now, incidentally, though, recently, C.J. Ramone... 473 00:32:06.500 --> 00:32:10.869 has performed with another punk supergroup, although this might have 474 00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:15.130 been a one-off, that included Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day, 475 00:32:15.470 --> 00:32:21.210 Tim Armstrong, no relation, from Rancid, and Travis Barker from Blink-182. 476 00:32:21.490 --> 00:32:25.849 And that was put together to commemorate the 50th anniversary 477 00:32:25.950 --> 00:32:29.170 of the release of the Ramones' debut album. Now, it 478 00:32:29.210 --> 00:32:34.720 happened out in Los Angeles at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, actually, 479 00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:39.380 Which makes sense because there are two of the Ramones 480 00:32:39.500 --> 00:32:45.839 are interred there. Johnny and Dee Dee are both resting 481 00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:48.539 there in peace, I hope. And no, no, I did 482 00:32:48.599 --> 00:32:51.720 not go to that show. I have been there, but I, 483 00:32:51.980 --> 00:32:55.420 you know, to Hollywood forever, to pay my respects, but 484 00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:59.549 I didn't go to this show. Anyway, the band was 485 00:32:59.609 --> 00:33:03.730 named after a children's book, apparently of the same name. Although, 486 00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:07.579 The name was changed last year to Spike and the 487 00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:10.319 Gimme Gimmes, with no apparent reason given. 488 00:33:10.339 --> 00:33:13.559 I guess Spike wanted top billing. 489 00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:17.980 Well, yeah, apparently whoever the singer is now, his name 490 00:33:18.059 --> 00:33:21.180 is Spike Slauson, so that's the only reason I can 491 00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:25.299 think of. But they are now Spike and the Gimme Gimmes. Now, 492 00:33:25.380 --> 00:33:29.160 earlier this year, Spike and the Gimme Gimmes released their 493 00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:32.789 first single under the new name, And it's a cover 494 00:33:32.970 --> 00:33:37.990 of USA for Africa's We Are the World. And like 495 00:33:38.019 --> 00:33:40.759 the original, all the proceeds go to charity. And in 496 00:33:40.859 --> 00:33:46.119 this instance, it's the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. Now, recently, 497 00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:49.720 the Gimme Gimmes played here in New York, or close 498 00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:54.039 by to where we are here, at Irving Plaza. And no, 499 00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:58.339 I didn't go to that one either. But as far 500 00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:04.059 as Dolly Parton goes, either okay but look i want 501 00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:07.180 to say thank you dolly for everything you did for 502 00:34:07.220 --> 00:34:11.320 this world now you all go see a concert thank 503 00:34:11.340 --> 00:34:12.440 you that was. 504 00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:14.719 A good one i had not heard that before no 505 00:34:14.739 --> 00:34:17.210 that's a great that's a great rendition that was kind 506 00:34:17.230 --> 00:34:21.329 of fun actually you know not your traditional what you're 507 00:34:21.369 --> 00:34:23.269 expecting to hear a dolly parton song that was. 508 00:34:23.250 --> 00:34:25.769 Well i think it speaks to the fact that everybody 509 00:34:26.150 --> 00:34:32.340 you know Everybody loved Dolly Parton. How could you not? Exactly. 510 00:34:32.409 --> 00:34:34.199 I didn't know much about her music, but I thought 511 00:34:34.260 --> 00:34:37.760 she was just one of the best human beings on 512 00:34:37.780 --> 00:34:37.980 the planet. 513 00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:40.980 I think everybody's seen interview clips at this point, and 514 00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:44.539 even if she didn't agree with something, she would just 515 00:34:44.780 --> 00:34:48.400 very politely get out of answering the question without insulting anybody, 516 00:34:48.460 --> 00:34:52.519 without putting anybody down. She had that ability, which I 517 00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:53.550 wish we could see more of. 518 00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:54.699 Absolutely. 519 00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:58.000 Absolutely. Classy would be possibly a word. 520 00:34:58.019 --> 00:34:59.360 Very much so. 521 00:34:59.780 --> 00:35:00.690 In so many ways. 522 00:35:00.869 --> 00:35:03.170 I've seen a lot of interviews of her since she 523 00:35:03.230 --> 00:35:07.230 passed about that very topic of how she would, in 524 00:35:07.250 --> 00:35:10.969 a very classy way, defer if people tried to corner 525 00:35:11.010 --> 00:35:13.409 her on something, to try to find out where she felt, 526 00:35:13.530 --> 00:35:14.539 whatever the issue was. 527 00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:17.960 She would just... And if they didn't give up, she 528 00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:20.000 would basically say, you know what, you can ask me 529 00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:21.849 whatever you want, but I'm still not going to answer you. 530 00:35:21.860 --> 00:35:22.579 No, no, no. 531 00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:26.840 I think she, you know, she had a pretty good 532 00:35:26.900 --> 00:35:30.460 sense of humor about herself too. I mean, you know, that, um, 533 00:35:31.059 --> 00:35:31.639 you know, she didn't. 534 00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:33.119 Very self-deprecating. 535 00:35:33.739 --> 00:35:36.579 Yeah. She didn't take herself all that seriously. And she, 536 00:35:36.860 --> 00:35:40.389 she knew what she, she

knew what her image was. 537 00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:43.769 And she, you know, I'll say laughed about it, joked 538 00:35:43.829 --> 00:35:45.469 about it. And I'm not going to go too deeply 539 00:35:45.530 --> 00:35:49.309 into it, but, uh, something along the lines of your 540 00:35:49.510 --> 00:35:52.349 intro joke, uh, this evening. 541 00:35:52.590 --> 00:35:56.829 Uh yes she hosted saturday night live i want to say. 542 00:35:56.789 --> 00:36:01.030 It was in the 80s yes i saw that talk. 543 00:36:00.670 --> 00:36:02.929 About having a sense of humor. 544 00:36:02.789 --> 00:36:06.079 But the camera angle is that the one you're talking. 545 00:36:05.909 --> 00:36:08.800 Yes you know a cameraman dangling from a rope high 546 00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:12.039 above the stage for a new and innovative look and 547 00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:14.159 of course you can guess what the camera was pointing 548 00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:17.219 down at oh my goodness and she leaned into it 549 00:36:17.300 --> 00:36:17.699 she had. 550 00:36:18.170 --> 00:36:20.849 It was hysterical. Yeah, that's what I mean. She totally, 551 00:36:21.030 --> 00:36:26.070 you know, she wasn't going to deny it, but she 552 00:36:26.110 --> 00:36:26.730 played along. 553 00:36:27.610 --> 00:36:32.750 There's so much like that. That's great. I was hoping 554 00:36:32.789 --> 00:36:34.090 that at some point I could catch her at the 555 00:36:34.130 --> 00:36:35.860 Grand Ole Opry, and I never had the chance to 556 00:36:35.889 --> 00:36:36.929 do that, unfortunately. 557 00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:39.840 All right. All right. 558 00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:40.320 Thanks, Neil. 559 00:36:40.340 --> 00:36:42.480 We're going to take another real quick break, but we 560 00:36:42.500 --> 00:36:44.940 have two more coming up, so stick around. We will 561 00:36:44.980 --> 00:36:45.639 be right back. 562 00:36:46.710 --> 00:37:01.570 HudsonRiverRadio.com HudsonRiverRadio.com HudsonRiverRadio.com And welcome back, Barbara. 563 00:37:01.989 --> 00:37:02.670 We are up to you. 564 00:37:03.550 --> 00:37:08.489 Alrighty. Well, my song choice to celebrate America's sweetheart is 565 00:37:08.550 --> 00:37:12.800 called You Can Have Him, Jolene by Chapel Heart. And 566 00:37:12.860 --> 00:37:16.420 it's done as an answer song, which we've talked about 567 00:37:16.949 --> 00:37:20.389 before on Rock and Roll History Show a while back, 568 00:37:20.489 --> 00:37:23.469 we discovered, for example, that the song They're Coming to 569 00:37:23.489 --> 00:37:25.710 Take Me Away has an answer song called They're Coming 570 00:37:25.750 --> 00:37:29.090 to Get Me Again. So first let's talk about the 571 00:37:29.130 --> 00:37:32.949 band Chapel Heart consisting of sisters Danica and Devrin Hart, 572 00:37:33.650 --> 00:37:38.469 who grew up in Poplarville, Mississippi. Their cousin Treya Swindle 573 00:37:38.530 --> 00:37:41.829 joined them in 2014, and they began singing cover songs 574 00:37:42.010 --> 00:37:46.019 on the streets of New Orleans. They began eventually writing 575 00:37:46.139 --> 00:37:50.440 original music as well, and altogether they released four studio albums. 576 00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:55.360 In July 2022, they appeared as contestants on the 17th 577 00:37:55.420 --> 00:37:59.460 season of America's Got Talent, where their performance of You 578 00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:03.320 Can Have Him, Jolene, resulted in their being awarded the 579 00:38:03.699 --> 00:38:08.510 Golden Buzzer by all four judges, which was only the 580 00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:11.449 second time in the show's history in which that occurred. 581 00:38:11.929 --> 00:38:12.050 So. 582 00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:14.820 talk a little bit more about them, but for now, 583 00:38:14.860 --> 00:38:17.739 why don't we check it out for ourselves? 584 00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:22.980 Well, since the last song, I've had time to think 585 00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:23.599 it over. 586 00:38:23.619 --> 00:38:26.949 A lot of tears, a lot of beer, a lot 587 00:38:27.469 --> 00:38:27.690 of wine. 588 00:38:28.849 --> 00:38:32.570 I spend so much time believing that that midnight won't 589 00:38:32.590 --> 00:38:36.489 stop ringing, but he'd leave the room and answer every 590 00:38:41.210 --> 00:38:44.989 that broken glass in pieces and you holding. 591 00:38:44.630 --> 00:38:46.690 Me and saying you were. 592 00:38:46.769 --> 00:38:51.800 Wrong well i'm tired of second chances and these sad 593 00:38:51.900 --> 00:38:57.300 ass circumstances he's your problem good luck keeping him wrong. 594 00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:29.789 Well, I fixed my crown from leaning. 595 00:39:30.110 --> 00:39:34.030 And those wedding bells stopped ringing I took my keys 596 00:39:34.090 --> 00:39:38.030 and threw them at his door Well, I found. 597 00:39:38.099 --> 00:39:41.679 A man who loves me And he'll give me all I. 598 00:39:41.659 --> 00:39:46.320 Need But a woman could ask for any more. 599 00:39:47.019 --> 00:39:51.780 Oh, Joey You can have him cause he don't. 600 00:39:51.619 --> 00:39:52.780 Mean much to me. 601 00:39:54.650 --> 00:39:58.380 Well, I've cried so much till rivers turn to seas. 602 00:39:59.219 --> 00:39:59.639 Oh, joy. 603 00:41:20.230 --> 00:41:24.000 Okay, well, Chapel Hill originally went by the name Hyperfly, 604 00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:27.920 and that's spelled with a P-H and two Y's. No 605 00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:28.940 idea why. 606 00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:30.300 Like two Y's next to each other? 607 00:41:30.820 --> 00:41:31.039 Yes. 608 00:41:31.739 --> 00:41:31.940 Yes. 609 00:41:32.260 --> 00:41:32.880 Hyperfly. 610 00:41:32.900 --> 00:41:34.139 Plus the Y in hyper? 611 00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:34.980 Yeah. 612 00:41:35.019 --> 00:41:35.670 So it's three Y's? 613 00:41:36.389 --> 00:41:38.550 Yeah, the word hyper is normal. That part of the 614 00:41:38.590 --> 00:41:41.409 word is normal, but then it's P-H-L-Y-Y. 615 00:41:41.429 --> 00:41:42.340 Okay. Whatever. 616

00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:43.800 Why? 617 00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:48.679 I don't know. They renamed themselves Chapel Hill in 2020 618 00:41:48.679 --> 00:41:51.860 after a church in their hometown. And You Can Have Him, 619 00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:54.869 Jolene was included on their second album titled Their Girls 620 00:41:54.929 --> 00:41:59.329 Are Back in Town, released in July 2021. Music Row, 621 00:41:59.630 --> 00:42:04.940 which is Nashville's music industry's trade publication, said of the album, quote, unquote, unquote. 622 00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:20.940 You Can Have Him, Jolene was not the band's only 623 00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:25.199 answer song. In 2023, they recorded Welcome to Fish City, 624 00:42:25.389 --> 00:42:30.230 an answer to Loretta Lynn's 1968 single, Fish City. Chapel 625 00:42:30.269 --> 00:42:34.349 Heart broke up in 2025, with Danica Hart going solo 626 00:42:34.610 --> 00:42:38.519 and Devrin Hart and Treya Swindle forming the duo Magnolia Rising. 627 00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:41.679 And I love that this song represents a change of heart, 628 00:42:41.719 --> 00:42:45.000 like perhaps Jolene's significant other showed his true colors after 629 00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:48.139 a while. How many of us are familiar with that? 630 00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:50.650 Oh, yeah. Yeah, exactly. 631 00:42:50.849 --> 00:42:53.929 And when we were given this song topic, I know 632 00:42:53.949 --> 00:42:56.550 there's a few answer songs to Jolene out there, but 633 00:42:56.630 --> 00:42:58.449 this was the one that came to my mind first, 634 00:42:58.550 --> 00:43:00.840 and I really wanted to do it. So that was 635 00:43:00.860 --> 00:43:01.360 a lot of fun. 636 00:43:01.710 --> 00:43:03.690 I had heard of it. I never actually heard the 637 00:43:03.710 --> 00:43:04.789 song until just now. 638 00:43:05.510 --> 00:43:05.809 Yeah. 639 00:43:06.070 --> 00:43:07.949 It's better than I was expecting. You know what? You 640 00:43:07.989 --> 00:43:11.110 hear that, and my knee-jerk reaction was, come on. You 641 00:43:11.139 --> 00:43:14.039 couldn't come up with something. But all right. 642 00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:18.579 Yeah, I think, you know, and I didn't really know 643 00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:21.880 even the song, the original, the Jolene song that well, 644 00:43:21.940 --> 00:43:26.139 as I admitted. I did not follow Dolly's musical career, 645 00:43:26.539 --> 00:43:28.929 and I was only aware of the song more recently, 646 00:43:28.969 --> 00:43:32.510 like within the past five years or so. I thought 647 00:43:32.550 --> 00:43:35.530 it was new. And I'm saying, no, it came out, 648 00:43:35.909 --> 00:43:36.530 you were saying. 649 00:43:36.969 --> 00:43:38.809 She wrote it the same day as I Will Always 650 00:43:38.849 --> 00:43:39.429 Love You, which. 651 00:43:39.530 --> 00:43:39.829 Right. 652 00:43:40.289 --> 00:43:42.670 Like one $ 10 million song is not enough. 653 00:43:43.769 --> 00:43:44.010 Right. 654 00:43:44.429 --> 00:43:44.719 Yeah. 655 00:43:45.429 --> 00:43:50.380 But I think that song, the answer song, stands up 656 00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:54.159 on its own, even if the original had never been written. 657 00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:54.739 Yeah. 658 00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:59.019 I agree. That sounds like a valid... You know, everything 659 00:43:59.059 --> 00:44:01.579 from the production, the musicianship, the singing. 660 00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:03.659 And it tells a story. You don't need to know 661 00:44:03.679 --> 00:44:07.179 the first half. It's a self-contained story there. 662 00:44:07.219 --> 00:44:08.920 Exactly. It stands by itself. 663 00:44:09.059 --> 00:44:14.159 Yeah, it's a standalone concept. And I did see a 664 00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:19.010 clip of Dolly, I guess during the pandemic, promoting getting vaccines, 665 00:44:19.070 --> 00:44:21.429 and she was actually singing the word vaccine to the 666 00:44:21.489 --> 00:44:23.110 tune of Jolene. 667 00:44:23.710 --> 00:44:25.219 That's okay. I've seen it on. 668 00:44:26.730 --> 00:44:32.230 Facebook video meme type things. People singing about their cat's feet. 669 00:44:32.809 --> 00:44:37.309 Toe beans, toe beans, toe beans, toe beans. 670 00:44:37.510 --> 00:44:39.010 Yep, definitely. 671 00:44:39.469 --> 00:44:42.739 And since I have three cats, of course, I can relate. 672 00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:45.480 Are you singing that loud enough for your neighbors to hear? 673 00:44:46.699 --> 00:44:47.800 Yeah, I would do that. 674 00:44:48.099 --> 00:44:50.079 I think we should all go over Gail's house and 675 00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:51.719 sing that at the top of our lungs. 676 00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:54.099 I'm thinking when Christmas rolls around, we're going to do 677 00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:55.320 some caroling outside. 678 00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:01.400 With megaphone, you know, the bullhorns. 679 00:45:01.539 --> 00:45:06.699 Oh, yeah. Christmas caroling to the bears in the woods there? 680 00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:11.539 To the neighbors. Okay. 681 00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:14.590 I think you'll clear out the bears and the neighbors. 682 00:45:14.650 --> 00:45:15.829 There you go. 683 00:45:15.889 --> 00:45:16.329 And win. 684 00:45:17.090 --> 00:45:19.590 Let's get Gail a little more popularity. 685 00:45:20.030 --> 00:45:22.969 I don't know that the guy upstairs is a cantor 686 00:45:23.030 --> 00:45:26.829 at John's church. So he, he would be okay with 687 00:45:26.889 --> 00:45:27.349 it at least. 688 00:45:27.929 --> 00:45:28.250 All right. 689 00:45:28.289 --> 00:45:29.349 He can come join. 690 00:45:29.849 --> 00:45:31.070 Yeah, exactly. 691 00:45:31.130 --> 00:45:35.369 Fine with me. All right. Well, thank you, Barbara. All right. 692 00:45:35.670 --> 00:45:40.289 One more. And, uh, I, I, I, it was tough. 693 00:45:40.429 --> 00:45:44.170 This was tough to narrow down and pick. So we 694 00:45:44.210 --> 00:45:46.969 talked so much. Everybody's talked so much rightly. So about 695

00:45:47.030 --> 00:45:50.239 how Dolly was known for being so gracious when she 696 00:45:50.619 --> 00:45:56.400 disagreed with somebody, um, Really never offended anybody. But I 697 00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:59.280 did find one of the few things that she outwardly 698 00:45:59.420 --> 00:46:02.460 did not like and was quite public about it. So 699 00:46:02.500 --> 00:46:04.320 I thought we could talk about that for a little bit. 700 00:46:05.820 --> 00:46:09.599 Her first film role was in 1980. It was the 701 00:46:09.659 --> 00:46:13.969 movie 9 to 5. She had a wonderful experience and 702 00:46:14.050 --> 00:46:17.530 it propelled her from just, quote unquote, just being a 703 00:46:17.550 --> 00:46:21.840 musical star to a showbiz star across the board. And 704 00:46:21.900 --> 00:46:23.579 she was ready to do another film because she had 705 00:46:23.619 --> 00:46:27.110 such a good experience. So along came, as Neil mentioned before, 706 00:46:27.550 --> 00:46:32.010 The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, which started filming in 707 00:46:32.010 --> 00:46:35.409 1981 and came out in 1982. She was quite blunt 708 00:46:35.630 --> 00:46:39.250 in her memoirs about how awful the experience was. And 709 00:46:39.309 --> 00:46:44.519 she said outright it was, quote, a miserable, spirit-numbing ordeal. 710 00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:45.940 Wow. 711 00:46:46.219 --> 00:46:46.739 Yeah. 712 00:46:46.940 --> 00:46:48.039 Tell us how you really feel. 713 00:46:48.260 --> 00:46:51.460 For her to say that, imagine how bad it really 714 00:46:51.500 --> 00:46:54.940 had to be. If you're not familiar with the story, 715 00:46:55.940 --> 00:46:58.730 I'm going to do the ultra condensed version of it. 716 00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:01.139 But The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas was first a 717 00:47:01.199 --> 00:47:05.159 musical that came out in 1978. It was based on 718 00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:10.460 a real brothel in LaGrange, Fayette County, Texas. The name 719 00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:13.199 LaGrange might ring a bell with some of our fellow 720 00:47:13.219 --> 00:47:19.139 ZZ Top fans. It is the same place that we're 721 00:47:19.179 --> 00:47:23.199 talking about. So, yeah. And, of course, we lost Frank Beard, 722 00:47:23.260 --> 00:47:27.050 which I'm kind of glossing over that, unfortunately. But what 723 00:47:27.070 --> 00:47:30.989 can I say? So we go back to 1905, and 724 00:47:31.030 --> 00:47:33.750 the owner at the time, Miss Jessie, was on good 725 00:47:33.789 --> 00:47:37.650 terms with the sheriff, Will Lawson. The sheriff would swing 726 00:47:37.690 --> 00:47:40.150 by every night to catch up on the latest intel 727 00:47:40.570 --> 00:47:46.360 because Miss Jessie's customers... would brag about their criminal activity 728 00:47:46.489 --> 00:47:50.489 to the employees and spill the beans on what they 729 00:47:50.530 --> 00:47:55.110 had done. And then Miss Jessie, her employees would then 730 00:47:55.769 --> 00:47:58.929 share the information with the sheriff. Now this is before 731 00:47:59.250 --> 00:48:02.900 telephone lines were widespread and all that. So he would 732 00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:07.119 go in person. Miss Jessie was also very good at marketing. 733 00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:10.480 She had two employees whose job it was, was to 734 00:48:10.539 --> 00:48:14.820 send out letters and packages to to soldiers from that 735 00:48:14.940 --> 00:48:17.550 area of Texas who were overseas during World War I. 736 00:48:18.679 --> 00:48:22.260 And by most accounts, by most standards, it was a 737 00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:26.179 well-respected business in town. Didn't cause any problems. It was well-run. 738 00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:30.909 Employees were treated well. People didn't put up with any shenanigans. 739 00:48:31.030 --> 00:48:33.949 People got kicked out for misbehaving, all that kind of stuff. 740 00:48:35.050 --> 00:48:38.650 Then the Great Depression hit, and customers could not afford 741 00:48:38.809 --> 00:48:43.929 the services being offered. And the workers wound up having 742 00:48:43.969 --> 00:48:48.500 no money for food. So Miss Jessie instituted the poultry 743 00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:54.119 standard of one chicken for one service, we shall say. 744 00:48:54.139 --> 00:48:57.639 And it didn't take long before there were just chickens 745 00:48:57.699 --> 00:49:00.849 running everywhere. And that's how the place became known as 746 00:49:00.889 --> 00:49:05.210 the Chicken Ranch. It changed ownership, but it ran pretty 747 00:49:05.250 --> 00:49:09.329 much the same way until 1973 when a TV reporter 748 00:49:09.369 --> 00:49:13.860 named Marvin Zindler did a week-long, multi-part story about law 749 00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:18.429 enforcement's lack of action against alleged corruption and organized crime 750 00:49:19.170 --> 00:49:19.929 at the chicken ranch. 751 00:49:22.409 --> 00:49:25.489 So eggs weren't the only thing getting laid there is 752 00:49:25.530 --> 00:49:26.110 what you're saying. 753 00:49:26.260 --> 00:49:32.940 Oh my! That was a good one. Dad jokes they 754 00:49:32.980 --> 00:49:33.539 are flying. 755 00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:34.840 Wow. 756 00:49:35.929 --> 00:49:37.090 You can edit that. It's okay. 757 00:49:37.190 --> 00:49:42.159 That will absolutely not be edited out. You are correct. 758 00:49:43.099 --> 00:49:49.380 I couldn't self edit either. I couldn't self censor. Sorry. 759 00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:49.920 Nope. 760 00:49:50.179 --> 00:49:55.920 Nope. That was good. So local authorities initially refused to 761 00:49:55.960 --> 00:49:58.210 take action. They said nobody had a problem with it. 762 00:49:58.659 --> 00:50:02.460 It's a manufactured thing. There's no organized crime involved. We're 763 00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:06.159 not doing anything. Leave us alone. Well, after this news report, 764 00:50:06.460 --> 00:50:08.969 it got so much attention that the governor was forced 765 00:50:09.010 --> 00:50:12.269 to take action,

and the ranch was ultimately closed down 766 00:50:12.409 --> 00:50:17.610 in 1973. In 1974, there was an article in Playboy 767 00:50:17.730 --> 00:50:20.949 about the chicken ranch written by Larry L. King, not 768 00:50:21.010 --> 00:50:23.090 the old dude that used to be on CNN, a 769 00:50:23.130 --> 00:50:26.969 different guy, who then teamed up with two more showbiz 770 00:50:26.989 --> 00:50:29.449 people because he realized this was a good story, and 771 00:50:29.489 --> 00:50:32.190 they developed The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas as a 772 00:50:32.230 --> 00:50:36.230 musical based on the chicken ranch. Then it got turned 773 00:50:36.269 --> 00:50:39.710 into a movie. Burt Reynolds plays the sheriff. The name 774 00:50:39.750 --> 00:50:43.070 was changed to Ed Earl Dodd. Dolly plays the madam, 775 00:50:43.150 --> 00:50:46.889 Miss Mona Stangley. And the reporter, the name was changed 776 00:50:46.929 --> 00:50:47.869 to Melvin P. 777 00:50:47.949 --> 00:50:48.329 Thorpe. 778 00:50:48.829 --> 00:50:51.210 And he is played by Dom DeLuise. 779 00:50:52.190 --> 00:50:52.679 Oh, wow. 780 00:50:52.699 --> 00:50:54.909 If you don't know Dom DeLuise, we're going to come 781 00:50:54.949 --> 00:50:59.980 back to him in a little bit. So apparently Dolly 782 00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:03.409 and Burt weren't the best of co-workers. Burt had just 783 00:51:03.449 --> 00:51:06.650 broken up with Sally Field and was just perpetually cranky. 784 00:51:07.409 --> 00:51:11.730 The production company changed directors and Burt went public accusing 785 00:51:11.809 --> 00:51:15.539 Dolly of using her power to get directors fired, which 786 00:51:15.780 --> 00:51:16.820 was not the case. 787 00:51:17.719 --> 00:51:17.960 Right. 788 00:51:19.159 --> 00:51:21.820 And then the bosses would turn around and tell Dolly 789 00:51:21.860 --> 00:51:24.460 to go get Burt Reynolds and cheer him up and 790 00:51:24.500 --> 00:51:26.159 make him less cranky and get him to come down 791 00:51:26.199 --> 00:51:29.170 to the set. Like it was her fault and her 792 00:51:29.230 --> 00:51:31.900 problem to have to go solve these things, you know? Plus, 793 00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:34.019 they were filming down south where it was hot and 794 00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:38.440 uncomfortable and throw that on top of everything else. They 795 00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:40.860 did wind up jamming I Will Always Love You into 796 00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:44.889 the movie. It was not in the musical. It was 797 00:51:44.929 --> 00:51:47.130 just a hit, and they had Dolly, so they made 798 00:51:47.170 --> 00:51:50.090 it fit into the movie. She re-recorded it, and like 799 00:51:50.130 --> 00:51:53.010 Neil said, it was re-released and became a hit for 800 00:51:53.030 --> 00:51:57.090 the second time. Tonight, we're going to be talking about 801 00:51:57.230 --> 00:52:01.579 Melvin Thorpe's report on The Chicken Ranch. Now, in the movie, 802 00:52:01.679 --> 00:52:05.110 instead of being a serious reporter like the real Marvin Zindler, 803 00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:09.489 Marvin Thorpe hosts a talk show spoof format with a 804 00:52:09.530 --> 00:52:12.650 big audience. He makes a big musical number about the 805 00:52:12.690 --> 00:52:16.030 chicken ranch. It's super over the top. If you're not 806 00:52:16.090 --> 00:52:19.579 familiar with Dom DeLuise, go watch the movie Cannonball Run 807 00:52:20.260 --> 00:52:21.860 if you haven't seen it. That was one of my 808 00:52:21.900 --> 00:52:23.079 favorite movies growing up. 809 00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:24.280 Who hasn't? 810 00:52:24.659 --> 00:52:24.940 Right? 811 00:52:25.239 --> 00:52:25.760 Classic. 812 00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:29.260 That's great. The best description I could give is, like, 813 00:52:30.059 --> 00:52:34.440 Dom DeLuise was a step before John Belushi, like Chris Farley, 814 00:52:34.860 --> 00:52:39.059 the heavy guy over the top, just, you know, loud, just. 815 00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:42.179 Full of energy. He made a few movies with Burt Reynolds, 816 00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:42.659 didn't he? 817 00:52:42.679 --> 00:52:43.739 They did a bunch together. 818 00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:45.750 They were like, yeah, they were like, you know, kind 819 00:52:45.789 --> 00:52:46.769 of a team, I guess. 820 00:52:46.809 --> 00:52:51.050 Yes, yeah, yeah. And, I mean, talk about playing parts 821 00:52:51.130 --> 00:52:56.150 over the top. It's great. So Melvin Thorpe on his 822 00:52:56.190 --> 00:52:59.449 talk show is now doing this report on The Chicken Ranch. 823 00:52:59.800 --> 00:53:02.960 and sings a song called Texas Has a Whorehouse in It. 824 00:53:03.670 --> 00:53:06.369 So I think you're going to get a kick out 825 00:53:06.409 --> 00:53:07.809 of it if you haven't heard it before, but let's 826 00:53:07.829 --> 00:53:10.380 check it out.
