[speaker002:] it's about this rap crap
[speaker001:] uh yeah
[speaker002:] uh it uh uh do you get it
[speaker001:] um not really not really I've uh
[speaker002:] I uh I've
[speaker001:] I'm forty years old now so I've uh
[speaker002:] oh so am I so we're talking the same language
[speaker001:] yeah we uh we we grew up with the same music and I just uh I heard song I heard uh what they call around here they have a thing they call uh oh what are they uh it's a spoof on the song and the song was um you you've heard of the song Dance to the Music you remember that
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] okay well they did a uh a uh twisted tune they call it and the twisted tune was Rap Isn't Music
[speaker002:] yeah indeed
[speaker001:] and they they sang here Rap Isn't Music to the tune of you know Dance to the Music it was pretty funny
[speaker002:] and to the music wow that's terrific well I just don't get you know like I remember when we were growing up how you know the Beatles and and and and and Presley uh you know how they were all condemned and rock and roll was the devil's music and it wouldn't last and all that
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] I I you know I keep thinking that you know I I uh uh uh are are we doing the same thing with this rap stuff
[speaker001:] I'm
[speaker002:] I mean at at at least with rock and roll it took talent
[speaker001:] that's true that's true now if you can just uh make a rhyme and sometimes not even a good one you know you
[speaker002:] yeah yeah you know all you got to do is is you know I it just amazes me
[speaker001:] and you don't even need a band because you can just use that uh crazy little radio to uh keep the time for you
[speaker002:] yes a scratchy record you know
[speaker001:] oh God yes
[speaker002:] I
[speaker001:] I mean I I can tolerate a lot of different things and I can you know I can tolerate a certain amount of of rap but if I have to listen to two songs in a row I'm ready to shoot somebody
[speaker002:] yeah really it's it it it I I just don't get it course I guess that dates us it means you are forty
[speaker001:] yeah that that must be it um my I get a real kick out of the uh these remakes of the old songs that we grew up with
[speaker002:] oh yeah now that that I do enjoy I do uh yeah you know and I've been hearing a lot lot more of it lately too
[speaker001:] yeah it makes you think that all the uh singer song writers are running out of you know things to write about
[speaker002:] well you know you know uh uh I know that somewhere you know I mean we we were really fortunate because you know we we had a you know the times of the Beatles and and and and things like that I mean you know that music is I really think the Beatles music will probably last you know
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] yeah it it it they're immortal but uh I I just really don't know if uh what is it RBQ or whatever that I I don't even know run run run run run something uh
[speaker001:] run D
[speaker002:] Run DMC yes Run D I mean uh uh yeah
[speaker001:] yeah it'll never be elevator music let's put it that way
[speaker002:] uh no exactly exactly you know it is it going to be picked up by a symphony you know and and and
[speaker001:] yeah I know and you you'll you'll never hear it in the uh
[speaker002:] no
[speaker001:] in the restaurants and uh
[speaker002:] no well I don't know maybe you will but uh you know uh it it it just doesn't translate there is no melody
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] you know it it it's you know just give me shelter
[speaker001:] I've I've found that as I've gotten older that that some of even the hard rock has started to to bother me and it
[speaker002:] well uh the hard rock from your time from our time
[speaker001:] uh no no from this this new hard rock
[speaker002:] yeah yeah okay well okay I I I agree with you I don't have any trouble with you know uh uh with with with Zeppelin stuff I don't have any trouble with uh uh
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] you you you you know stuff that that Santana or or or or Hendrix I don't have any trouble with that
[speaker001:] yeah me either
[speaker002:] but I have trouble with with this new crap uh well uh like I say well we've we've done nothing but but prove our age today
[speaker001:] yeah but it's fun to prove your age um I I get the biggest kick out of my I have uh two fourteen year olds and a twelve year old living at home and uh they
[speaker002:] well
[speaker001:] they hear one of these old remakes of a song and oh that's just a beautiful song and I'm like that's a remake they that that song's twenty years old
[speaker002:] yeah really
[speaker001:] oh no it just came out that's called music
[speaker002:] well then what you do is you go you know and you and and and you find the original and and and and you play it for them and luckily it it it it of course I I I was I been divorced but uh my my my my first wife has that first collection of of songs that that that you could probably prove them with you know
[speaker001:] well we've got uh four cases of albums downstairs and then we've got another case of
[speaker002:] oh I'm sure you probably have a lot of those then
[speaker001:] oh yes we do we've got some songs that will that will totally blow my children away um we've the problem we've been having is that we have a uh an old Fisher system and can't find a needle for it you know because they're not pressing
[speaker002:] oh yeah oh yeah oh wow I bet that really is a problem finding a stylus because turntables are
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] are going the way of the of the of of the
[speaker001:] horse and buggy
[speaker002:] yeah something
[speaker001:] yeah so I'm I'm hoping th at we can locate one soon and once I do locate a source I'm going to buy about twelve of them
[speaker002:] yeah I uh yeah I suggest you latch onto it you know uh I was just trying to think that uh I can suggest something to you you might look at are you familiar with Crutchfield
[speaker001:] um I've heard of it
[speaker002:] uh Crutchfield Electronics they also have a catalog and I've found I've got Beta machines and finding hi-fi beta tape has become almost impossible
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] well I found that I can get it through them they have a lot of you know stuff that that that that um that you may be able to order through them so if you have access to a computer or anything like that you might get one on them of one of them like Comp U Serve I think Comp U Serve has Crutchfield so you can get on with them and and uh and you know and get one of their catalogs
[speaker001:] great I'll try that out I really uh I really do want to dig out the old LP's
[speaker002:] yeah if you if you if you have access to a computer and one of the information services uh I would suggest that that's the way you go
[speaker001:] yeah because I've I've got everything from uh God back when I've got all of Bill Cosby's original comedy albums
[speaker002:] you've got the real wow far out
[speaker001:] and I've even got Old Silver Throat that's the one album that he sang on
[speaker002:] oh really
[speaker001:] yeah he's horrible he horrible singer I listened to it one time that was it
[speaker002:] didn't know that he sang on any of it uh all right
[speaker001:] and I've I've got stuff
[speaker002:] listen it's been a pleasure I'm getting ready for Star Trek the Next Generation
[speaker001:] ah
[speaker002:] it's coming on in two minutes so I've enjoyed talking with you but I got to have my priorities
[speaker001:] all right yeah I know well it's been nice talking to you too
[speaker002:] all right take care
[speaker001:] all right you too bye-bye
[speaker002:] bye-bye
