Porch Intro And Memory Lane Plan
SPEAKER_03Q the static, let it spin. Old songs, new scars, tune it in. From the back porch to the Adam Glow, these memories still steal the show. We laugh. We ran, we played loud. No filter talk. No fake radio crowd. You know the voice, you know the plan. MTO turn in a pipe cast. Memory lane FL.
SPEAKER_00Welcome back everyone to the MT Alternative Podcast.
SPEAKER_01Tom, what's going on, buddy? Not much, Mike. Uh just chilling and having a good day. What's up with you?
SPEAKER_00Same old, same old my friend. Enjoying the sports time. Man, it's awesome. It is another great day in North Carolina.
SPEAKER_01Just beautiful, man. Which brings me to my first thought. You have thoughts? Yeah. Partly cloudy. Partly cloudy. Partly sunny. It's a battery day. So what's the difference? Is it partly cloudy or partly sunny?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00So last week we started a different journey on our podcast. We have our turn in a podcast. But our main title will be Memory Lane Foundation. We're doing a lot of songs. It doesn't matter what year, we're just going through songs we both like and memories to open our minds. A lot of different years. We're not fucking card before now. I think we mentioned this before we're doing every year of songs. And we were gonna re-make music again, but at our own page and right now. We had our little half hour at work this week, yesterday and Friday. I remember that from uh Rocky and Bowling Congress. People are like, what the hell is Rocky and Bowling? Check it out. Anyway.
Ozzy Osbourne And Coming Home
SPEAKER_00Let's just start with music.
SPEAKER_01We love music. Alright, well music. We're just um I'm gonna blow everybody's mind this week because everybody knows my far fire, and everybody knows my country music. There's a side of me that a lot of people don't understand, and I just want to let everybody know that it's not always the story of the song. It's the beat and the music that really grabs hold of somebody. And this is this is now the first song that I want to do is not that way, but but a lot of his music was that way to me, but but the first one I want to do is Mama I'm coming home.
SPEAKER_00Okay. I'll play that right now.
SPEAKER_09Times of change and times of strange here I come by the same Mama, I'm comin' home Time come by seems to be You could have been a better friend to me Mama, I'm comin' home You took me there to be out there found it to round alright to make the right old Ozzy.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's it's hard. And the reason that song hit real hard with me this week it kind of made me remember the time, and all your older people who've listened to us from the very beginning understand that I took off a hitchhiking one time and and you know, my mom coming home is kind of when coming back and I came back and started over again.
SPEAKER_00It's a good song, I'll be honest. I can't get much clean. I like the song, I'm not saying about that when it really kind of I got the initial feeling of the song and I understood the song more. Exactly. You know, I love the song for Sharon pretty much. And when you see him in that state, you know, when you used to seeing Auggy just being Augie and seeing how he was then, but just the emotions came out.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. You know just a wonderful thing, but that was one of my favorite.
SPEAKER_00I guess we'll do that right now.
Why The Beat Hits First
SPEAKER_01That was a good run for me.
SPEAKER_00Great song.
SPEAKER_01Good run for me.
SPEAKER_00Oh, excellent pick. Can never go wrong with Ozzy.
SPEAKER_01He he just was part of it.
SPEAKER_00And like I said, I'm sorry I never got into that song as much until that happened. And then I realized you know me. I always said it's the music that grabs me first. I'm never really into the lyrics as much. Exactly. I'll learn the lyrics later, but of course it's the music that just grabs me.
SPEAKER_01And I think that's what's going on with me this week. Just the music that grabbed a hold of me when I was a kid.
SPEAKER_00That's why we're doing this. Exactly why we're doing this.
SPEAKER_01And it's just a shock because everybody expects it to be country and this is another side of me. And this is cool, because I I love the show.
SPEAKER_00Oh, it's the same with me. We have people who you have being or whatever. And maybe you have your hard rock side. Maybe not as much. And I have my hard rock side of time if I do like other kinds of music. And you have to play the movie new. Oh, yeah. Alright, so I guess it's my turn to pick a song now. Yep. And I have one in mind. Okay.
INXS And Hearing Lyrics Differently
SPEAKER_08Don't take me out. Don't take a fair Don't take me out. Don't take a face.
SPEAKER_01Oh, that I watched one time with uh Nicolas Cage.
SPEAKER_00It's definitely an 80s sound. That's the band in Excess from Australia.
SPEAKER_01In Excess, see.
SPEAKER_00That song had some reason that song, that's with the lyrics. That's like one of the first I mean, I shouldn't say project, but it's one of the songs that I started really listening to lyrics on, and it's just it hit me a different way. Right. I love the song. I love the band.
SPEAKER_01It does have a great, great vibe.
SPEAKER_00You know, that he died and the way he died and all that. But yeah, that band was to me that that was one of those 80s bands that I loved.
SPEAKER_01An excess.
SPEAKER_00And I know a lot of people you know, me, I am a hard rock guy, but some of that 80s music really got to me. Well, it hit. It hit right. It hit in a lot. And to this day I love it. So uh we'll continue on with it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Good sound. Good vibe. Yeah, this is a great song. Great. It reminds me of modern English. Yeah, a little bit. A little bit. Melt with you. Modern English. Exactly.
SPEAKER_00So, okay, and what do you got next, Tom? All right. You gonna surprise us? Well, probably so. All right, I'll let you put it on and surprise us. There you go.
Guns N Roses And Pure Adrenaline
SPEAKER_08Don't make it worse here every day. You gotta take up for what you see. Take it eventually. You didn't have an event, you won't, but you better not take it from me.
SPEAKER_00All right, guns and roses, Tom. Time's going a little harder here today. I pulled one on you.
SPEAKER_01It's going my way. I just gotta tell you this era kind of pulled me into the rock. I mean, you can't be an American and not enjoy that beat. That is awesome.
SPEAKER_00I mean, that's when we all just tons of face back then.
SPEAKER_01It was just bam, there they were. And and you just that that makes you feel good when you hear that song. I don't know what it is about it, but it makes me want to bleed.
SPEAKER_00Seeing it live is even better. I mean, personally, I haven't seen him live, but plenty of videos, and that song shit's ass, man. It's pretty much fire.
SPEAKER_01I would like to see him live, but yeah.
SPEAKER_00That was a good song for me. Now, not so much. Axel's voice is put shit back in the in their prime. Right. I would have loved to bend this seeing them in concert. Of course, they were being arrogant about it too, but uh we'll dive right back into it, Thomas. Sure. Great song, Tom. Enjoyed that one too. Great song. Yeah. That gets everything pumping.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. See, that's just shows you doesn't matter what genre you are.
SPEAKER_00If sometimes if not more. LA Tracy guns and actual roach. I think that's from what I heard the story. That was actually starting guns and roaches. Tracy guns ended up leaving. That's pretty much what I've understood. But I love LA guns. Another song for another day. Actually, Tom. Like I said, right up my alley. I enjoyed it. Sounds like a little bit. What do you think we like right now?
SPEAKER_01My goodness. What's next?
SPEAKER_00Well, gives us a little break, too.

Wait a minute. We're recording. We're recording. Hey! Wait, what's up, buddy? Hey! What's going on? Uh, well, we kind of copy off the I I didn't know we were recording. Well, but since we already started, what's going on with the uh music? What music? I think it was uh delightfully done. What's that move for what I was watching? What music are you talking about? You know what I'm saying? What did you hear? You heard that we get out that's okay. Yeah. What are you just about to say? Oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay, well, I was gonna say, okay, but anyway. Well, popping up everywhere. It's a great thing, it it kinda is. Well, if you think about it, it just I don't know, it's a lot different than when we were going to a new town. Yeah, good old days when you walk in and the matrix with him. Maybe see the kid, maybe cat one of his exotic animals. My guy had the bow constructor. I wouldn't man, not only that, yeah, put it around your neck. It's cool. Come on, man, everybody does it when they come here. Listen, I like your weed. Three hours later when I woke up.

Well, see, that's just it. I don't live in Florida. Okay, okay. Okay, but anyway, yeah, anyway. We're going in the wrong direction. But when you get the guy and he's like, oh big water, watch the money, and then all of a sudden I buy the stuff I'm there to get. Yeah, you wanna try it out? Yeah, yeah. So I go on. Wait a minute, why are you letting the dealer try to shit you just off of them? See? That's what you get. Why are you doing that? Oh yeah, why don't you do one, man? Okay, so that happened all the time. Oh, dude, after I was strangled by a snake, it was pretty cool with me. Every time I went there, he's like, What do you leave? I'm gonna roll it up. This is the stuff I got you want me to try. Okay. My guy, after the snake strangled you out, man, then you're good, you know? You can like go. Or you know, he just didn't want me to sue him. I don't know. But a snake is a snake, and I'm not touching a well, that's dumb shit. Okay. It was a one-off. Let's be realistic. It benefited me. It was like, what do you need? Here you go. Wait a minute, wait a minute. That's like saying a magic bullet or shoot you in your damn ass. Yeah. And it's gonna benefit you. Is it only once? No, this is only half and once. Remember that.

SPEAKER_00Band back, I think pretty sure they were out of New Jersey. Right. They're a great band. I just they didn't get their news. There was a lot of things that happened if you read the history on them, but if you dig in the stars, that song was more like a pop rock. They do a lot of heavier stuff. They opened up for a lot of big bands, but people check them out. Like I said, if you like that kind of music, like I said, they uh do a lot of different things in the heavy. Arena Rock is one of my favorite albums from everyone. One of those games, like I said, a lot of people never heard of. So you're up next, Ron.
