Bobby BonesHOST
And I can imagine if you're a kid and you grow up.
Bobby BonesHOST
Like my stepdad, I listen to a lot of the Hollies.
Bobby BonesHOST
Yeah.
Bobby BonesHOST
I listened to a lot of Creatives Clearwater Revival and having John Fogerty sit in that same seat to me was one of the coolest things ever.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
On Big L radio.
CookieHOST

I swear it's not too late
CookieHOST
Two five, five, five hundred to get us underway for this afternoon's Topical Tuesday.
CookieHOST
The Hollies' Stop Stop Stop and The Birds' Turn Turn Turn.
CookieHOST
Uh, so a very good afternoon to you.
Marcia Milgrom DodgeGUEST
Mm.
AaronHOST
Uh, but in terms of instruments and playing, The Who, The Kinks, Manford Man I love, The Hollies.
Marcia Milgrom DodgeGUEST
Manford Man was great.
Marcia Milgrom DodgeGUEST
[laughs]
Mike BubbinsGUEST
I went down a rabbit hole of Neil Young.
Mike BubbinsGUEST
And then from Neil Young to the Buffalo Springfield, from them to Crosby, Storrs and Nash, from them to the Byrds and the Hollies, and then from them to like, The Monkees and Michael Nesmith and the First National Band and Poco and all these amazing 60s and 70s bands, which I never would have listened to.
Mike BubbinsGUEST
All from this.
Mike BubbinsGUEST
But it was a sad time.
Tammy EalomGUEST
So, you know, when I first started writing songs, I didn't realize how much my dad's music had influenced me until I started writing.
Tammy EalomGUEST
I was like, whoa, this kind of sounds like the Hollies or, whoa, there's some monkeys in here.
Tammy EalomGUEST
You know, the 60s pop stuff, like, really influenced me.
Jen TatroHOST
He's planting those seeds.
Andrew HickeyHOST
As far as I can tell, the one actual fragment of recording of Bowie with the Comrades that's anywhere public is those 11 seconds I just played.
Andrew HickeyHOST
They even toured on the bottom of the bill on a package tour with the Rolling Stones and the Hollies in early 1965, before finally splitting up.
Andrew HickeyHOST
Bowie, meanwhile, got back with his old friend George Underwood, and the two of them started performing as a duo, sometimes joined by drummer Viv Andrews, under the name The Hugger Brothers.
Andrew HickeyHOST
naming themselves after Bowie's musical obsession of the moment, John Lee Hooker.
Rich TupicaGUEST
Like after that, things just start kind of repeating themselves a little bit.
Rich TupicaGUEST
You know, there's experimental stuff, but as far as the art of writing verse, chorus, verse, chorus, verse, and hooks and choruses, you know, I mean, you listen to Nirvana, it's just the same thing, except for a little more deranged, you know, smells like teen spirits, like, you know, like the Hollies or something after they have some nitrous and then dry play.
Rich TupicaGUEST
But yeah, that's a really great era of music.
Rich TupicaGUEST
But there was a light.
speaker_0HOST
It had the songs Goodbye, T-Jane, and Mama, We're All Crazy Now, which became a huge hit for, if memory serves, Quiet Riot, I believe.
speaker_0HOST
In 1972, the Hollies released Romany.
speaker_0HOST
This was their first album without lead singer Alan Clark.
speaker_0HOST
Peaked at number 84 on the Billboard Albums chart, and it had the single The Air That I Breathe, which was a big hit.
VannGUEST
You know, what we can do, right? You know, what do we say? We only use what percent of our brain? I mean, what's some small percentage of our brain? It's we all could do so much, but we don't believe in ourselves, right? But here I'm looking at a different perspective.
VannGUEST
Is it a burden, right? Is davening a burden or is it an opportunity? Is it a burden or an opportunity? The, who's the singer? The Hollies.
VannGUEST
The Hollies? What's the name of the song? He's not heavy? He's not, he ain't heavy, he's my brother.
VannGUEST
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
VannGUEST
Bob Russell, Bobby Scott.
Mitch MelnickHOST
done.
Mitch MelnickHOST
And we've learned that when we bail out of the Hollies theme for Aaron, people complain that they don't hear enough of the song.
Mitch MelnickHOST
But very often on Friday, we're a little behind on time.
Mitch MelnickHOST
So let's get right to Aaron Ward yesterday.
16 MINS LATER
Mitch MelnickHOST
Should we go potato or beet salad as a side? It's your call.
Aaron WardGUEST
Potato, because the drippings off of what you're making meat-wise will only enhance the potatoes, but I would also add some garlic.
Mitch MelnickHOST
Does anyone else think the lead singer of the Hollies, Alan Clark, has a singing voice similar to Aaron Ward's speaking voice? Like, if I imagined Aaron singing, he would sound like Alan Clark.
Mitch MelnickHOST
Is that one of the reasons you're a fan of the song?
