Well it is the. Curse of the I 5 corridor is already online by the way you can go listen to it so that's the one that was the 1st of those 2 they're all good though so excited Ok it's been a heck of a week for musicians birthdays starting with Robert Johnson master of the real delta blues. We were only given 29 songs 29 majestic Testaments of the musical genius of Robert Johnson before his on timely death at the age of 27. Including this song which may sound like kind hearted woman by Robert Johnson but is in fact our way of suggesting that you go listen to the actual recording of kind hearted woman by the actual Robert Johnson. Anything Wolf I'm. Gonna. Live thing for me. I love these. Movies. Really love the. Game but the one thing made sense to John Ging. The story of the about how you. Began the thing. When you. Came. Out of John McAfee That's Chris elders playing the song. Ever famously Johnson you. Were Janet Janet Jackson y'all just. The queen of Paul the only woman in the history of the Billboard Hot $100.00 to have 18 consecutive Top 10 singles including this song which aside from being popular is just plain bad us. Her. Substantiating is the most absurd but don't get the feeling at the beginning of the book. See below for me in the book but the little. Place don't come close to. The. Fall. Of the Sun to you. If. You see this you. Know. This is coming from Jackson Happy Birthday. Which brings us to this week's birthday a pair of Britney Hasse's and my favorite Scottish Alistair Fraser and John McCosker they share a birthday we know for 2 it is spectacular for both but I want to call special attention to their contributions to the fiddle turn community as writers both gentlemen are writing tunes that you can call out of just about any fiddle tunes session in the world and be sure that your fellow musicians sitting beside you will be able to join right and these fellows help us remember the tradition is that. They are Fraser's independence from Trail and John McCosker Frank's real Britney. 6 READY READY Josh Homme a great guitarist member of the Eagles of Death Metal perhaps best known as the front man of Queens Of The Stone Age. I love both bands Josh is a force my band of Creek and Queens Of The Stone Age actually appeared together on an episode of of England's Jools Holland show like I think it was 200 years ago maybe after which I went out for a pint with Josh and he told me that he's a huge Bill Monroe fan which is clear I think when you hear songs like this. To. get to listen. To a Live from it was printed in Queens Of The Stone Age. And will close this birthday segment with Martha Wainwright Martha Wainwright. Volcanically gifted singer songwriter. You know when I grow up I want to sing like Mike the winter if possible and also Madison Cunningham was about to give us a taste of Martha's before the children came. We made love in Noble in Adelaide in. Who. RINGBACK Can tell you. That then else is. There. To tell you just how much. Of this. Really. Oh. Now that You might know him as a longtime executive producer of The Daily Show Jon Stewart or as a correspondent on the nightly show Larry Wilmore and you can look forward to his a new stand up hour long comedy special coming out so ladies and gentlemen Rory nobody's thank you thank you. Thank you guys so much I'm so happy to be here in Georgia you guys are the nicest people in the world at least the people in Atlanta are in I don't know how far out of town and have to go and that's what that's that's what I expected you know but you know what I'm saying to you guys. You know as a Jew We like to stay near the tall buildings that makes this bill. People really panicked right now in the country and everyone's freaking out about what's going on you know I don't want to name names but you know the name and. I'll tell you what I'm feeling great you know what I do I just don't watch the news anymore I stopped Yes exactly I feel parents how sick I do you know what I do I just watch old movies for my childhood that's it you know it's called escapism and it works it's just I just pretend I'm 12 and my mom's cooking dinner and everything's going to be fine now you know what I just really watched. The Neverending Story Yes I knew. You guys were good people. No I love science fiction movies from like the 980 s. 5 fantasy because it's before Jurassic Park before computer graphics you know when they actually had to make the props by hand right that was better like when the neverending story got greenlit to be made some union guy was like I guess I gotta build a giant dog. That's a 40 foot dog we're going to need a ton of fur and some overtime slips that's a large dog it's heads got to go back and forth the kids got it that's a $14000000.00 dog right there and it exists it's on Earth it's not a tennis ball on a stick it's somewhere it's somewhere you're going to be watching an episode of American Pickers are going to open a bar oh my god. Oh. Truck. It's a big haul for them for the pickers and. You know why else I'm not worried I think it's I don't have kids yet when you have kids you have to worry you know because then you're like worried about the future but when you don't. Know you even when they talk about global warming and don't misunderstand me I love Earth. If I had to rank my top 5 favorite planets to live on it's definitely in there you know definitely just because of the you know the air and the potable water and the well the ability to live on it. But I don't like those say oh the earth is going to be uninhabitable in 80 years I'm like I could make it. There's enough s.p.f. 50 for this guy. I do it nephews which is you know like having kids but you don't have to like care. No I'm not saying I don't love them I love them the most but caring is different than love. It is scary different there 5 into that the cutest little kids but caring is like brush your teeth do your homework don't eat that eat that that's what my brother and sister in law are awesome and they care you know I don't have to like that's what people think uncles are cool we're not cool we just don't really care. So we seem cool We're just less engaged you know. And the 5 year old to be like Can I have another piece of cake I'm like yeah go for it you know. A sugar high is not going to keep me up tonight. In fact you know what why don't you cut it yourself. I mean your 2 year old brother watching The Walking Dead and. I really feel like pounds of it right now you know there's a lot of face eating going on we like that. Like the face eating. Half this crowd is probably been a zombie on the show and. You see me in that one episode. Because I don't have kids I know nothing about him which I think is the exact amount I should know I know it's a 40 year old single man I should say we're going to Barnes and girls like what are you into and I'm like kids. She's like oh you have kids I'm like No I just like them that's that's a red flag. This is an f.b.i. Phone call. So I know the right amount nothing and I learned everything from my nephews I do because I spent a lot of time with them and I really do believe being an uncle is better than being a dad because you approach it like they live in New York City where I live and. A lot of New York fans in the house and. It's too late whatever you do and I don't care. Love or Hate I'm out of it and they live so I see him all the time you know and I was up there recently like 2 weeks ago hanging out with him. They have a pet hamster named munchkin because they named it and now kids are terrible name and pets I don't understand when people let kids name that like the family dog you know is like really you want to walk for 17 years sure about that if you're the one walking. But characters are terrible pets because they're nocturnal right which means I want to tell you what you guys you know what I like and to fit in here and. And. This is about 11 lives and typically. I mean listen to n.p.r. No more. But the nocturnal creature is not good for a child because child children I'm not sure if you know this they're awake during the day you know so that's what I want to play with the thing let's play and he's under like which it's like that's not going to happen and then at night when the child would like to sleep around 8 o'clock at night that is when munchkin is just like. They go you know run a squeaky wheel for a while. And that's it they can't make a hamster wheel that's not squeaky wheel on most was like we tried it can't be done it just can't be done. So I was up there the a couple weeks and we put the kids to bed my sister and I went to bed so in order to let the kids sleep we took munchkin and we put him in the famous hamster ball you know so we could have what I like to call perceived freedom and. We put him on the ground and he was just around the apartment loving life so I got this corner Whoa. And my brother now we're talking you know hanging out and at one point the ball went by and then the ball went by but no munchkin just the ball Yeah munchkin had shot Shanks right out of the ball. Even looked a little like a little hamster Rita Hayworth poster over the hole you know I get the reference I'm out here. So the moral hazard and again I don't know anything about kids like I said but I do know when they go to sleep with a pet. To wake up and still have that pet you know they love that consistency during the night hours especially during a trump administration you know is something about it and. I just like to know it's going to be Ok and so do I and. So my brothers and we've got to find much again like the kids are going to have a meltdown when they wake up so we started looking really hard you know lifting couches I'm making what I think are fairly sexy hamster noises you know I'm like. By the way I don't even know if munchkins a guy or girl but it's 2018 and I don't see gender so down man. Does not matter to me I will share a target bathroom with Munchkin right now that's how much I care. And. It's late like we're not fine this thing I actually how to get your hands your back and of course like a 1000 videos came up with 13 year old girls like hey guys it's right back out like you lose your hair hand. And like no Rebecca your tips helped Ok and close your closet door when you're making a video try All right. There was like 4 in the morning my brothers if this is really bad like these kids are going to wake up in like 2 hours and have a full scale meltdown that their pet is gone. And that's when I realized I want to stay. Has take dad problems out here you know and that's why it's better thank you guys so much I appreciate the where you. Were only. Oh yeah when these are her. Thank you. Oh how you just. Said. a new dad whose long. Love to fun. Of all. I never saw the movie to be's solos. I need some long I. Can't trust. To protect me from loss of a. Dog When you say you.
