Okay, this next message is from Steven.
Joe McCormickHOST

Subject line, "About your gargoyles chat, horror in the Helter Skelter era." I think this is picking up on something we talked about, uh, in the episode on the made-for-TV horror movie Gargoyles.
Joe McCormickHOST
61:12
Is it a CBS movie or something?
Robert LambHOST
61:15
I don't remember the network offhand, but this was '72.

So yeah, I guess it's always...
Robert LambHOST
67:29
there, there's always a balance to it, for sure.
Joe McCormickHOST
67:31
Anyway Stephen goes on to say there, uh, there were many others like Gargoyles that maybe were not as fully realized or were flawed in some fashion, but they still had, uh, that Helter Skelter era tone of dread that was part and parcel of being alive in those days.
Joe McCormickHOST
67:47
Thanks for, uh, another of your many, many awesome conversations, Stephen.

And that's how I... got all my everything, but they were turning me on to Aldiniola, Return of Forever, and Weather Report, Jaco Pastorius, and I'm listening to this bass player who's playing faster than anybody in the Rolling Stones.
Mark BiedermannGUEST
47:31
I'm like, what the hell is this? So, Bitch was cool, and all that was cool, and Helter Skelter, all that.
Mark BiedermannGUEST
47:40
I loved all the Beatles and Stones, and that's why I feel like I'm a decent songwriter, because I really... pay attention to a song, not just a riff, you know? But then when I got into the, further on into the Deep Purple and stuff like that, I got into Deep Purple actually before I was younger.
Mark BiedermannGUEST
47:59
When I first got into Deep Purple, I was like eight or nine years old.

Now, if you could, in fact, master some lick, if you could just play for me right now some wonderful tune in your dreams, what would it be? What would you be playing right now over the phone for me? If you really sounded great at it, what would I be hearing?

Now, I was told that this Helter Skelter was about a rollercoaster.
Bob CordaroHOST
32:01
Someone in the audience corrected me, and I've already forgotten how they corrected me.
Bob CordaroHOST
32:06
So if you'll text in or call in and let us know what Helter Skelter was.
Bob CordaroHOST
32:11
It was some kind of ride or amusement.
Bob CordaroHOST
32:14
An idiot, uh, used it to talk about the end of the world.
Bob CordaroHOST
32:18
But Murph tells us this date, 1968, The Beatles recorded 18 takes of their hit S- Helter Skelter for the White Album.
Bob CordaroHOST

During the course of the day, the song transformed from a slow, bluesy song into a frantic song that's on the album.
