#200 - Bicentennial Calls & Catchup | Tina Turner | Sleep Token | Tales from the Concert: Dead & Co | Goldsmith for the Win
Thank you for listening, we’re so excited to be celebrating our 200th Bicentennial Episode with you! We’ve been bouncing around ideas on how to celebrate and we landed on, a regular show! We do, however, have some great call-ins from past guests, friends, and family to sprinkle throughout the show.
First off, thank you for the lovely messages of support. We hear from Harry Waters, Scott Tournet, Kaz PS, Nate Kalwicki, Austin Loman, Keith Grasso, Charlie Lentz, Ciri, Cam, and Charlie Kline, Alex Kline, Katie Stover & Erik Lenhart! (Thanks to Jay’s impressive networking acumen, we also had some, somewhat enthusiastic messages from Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Dr. Hibbert & even King Charles III!)
Greg kicks things off with a remembrance for Tina Turner, who passed at the age of 83 late last month. Then we hear about the latest album from Greg’s latest favorite new band, Sleep Token. Take Me Out To Eden, their third album, came out in mid-May and has only
Songs:
Tina Turner - “Heard It Through the Grapevine”
Tina Turner & Bryan Adams - “It’s Only Love”
Sleep Token - “Ascensionism”
Jay recently emerged from the haze of his first Dead & Company concert at Jiffy Lube Live and has vague recollections to share on our latest episode of “Tales From The Concert.” Dragged along by friend of the show Kresimir, Jay braved the lone road to Bristow. Inch by inch he crawled through the concert traffic, walking a mile to and from the concert. In the end, all that remained was exhaustion and fond memories of Bob Weir’s song ending. We get to hear a clip of John Mayor tearing it up and celebrate Jay’s first step into his eventual conversion to the jam band genre.
Song: Dead & Company - “Throwing Stones”
Finally, Nick has been dying to follow up on a story from episode 167 about the Supreme Court’s decision affecting creativity and fair use. To recap, Conde Nast licensed photographs of Prince from photographer Lynn Goldsmith for a Vanity Fair article in 1984. Andy Warhol used the photograph as inspiration for his Prince series and Conde Nast licensed one of those images for 2016 remembrance of the late artist & litigation ensued. In the end, the court decided that the Warhol Foundation was not within the Fair Use guidelines because it was competing directly with Goldsmith’s photographs for magazine use. It feels like a very narrow decision and the implications will take years to affect future litigation, but it seems like a fair balance to the guys.
Song: Cory Wong - “Flyers Direct”
