hi I'm Barbara Gaines this is Mary Barkley and your TV friend Dave how you doing nice
to see you thank you very much Barbara Mary nice to see you as well you too you know I
had an idea for your show and forgive me because it's your show and you do a great
job sure you know what you need is that does the name brand Teta mean anything to you it
does oh I love Brian yeah he uh he produces the view yes you ought to see if you can't
get him to produce this show because now it just could be me but this thing seems underproduced
well and I don't mean I mean you know that in the favorable it's raw and fresh
oh because of the strike yeah well I shouldn't even be here then I think Brian I don't know
first of all Brian is real busy I don't know if we could get him right okay he would definitely
he would do it yeah hey did you hear the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominations are in yeah that was
what's that Warren Warren zevonne did was on the ballot I think the first time and was not voted
in right and I'm I will say I'm disappointed yes I'm not angry because I would have been surprised
had it gone the other way oh you wouldn't yeah because I I think to be angry would have been like
30 years ago when he should have been inducted shortly after how long ago did he pass away
hmm eight years nine years ten years I think longer I think like 15. in any event whether
he was alive or had passed away he should still be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and I knew
it wasn't going to happen and uh and I'll tell you why I talked to uh a couple of months ago
I talked to a good friend of mine good good friend John Sykes who owns the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
John thanks is a good friend yes and he uh I trust him implicitly he is he's the one who
invented VH1 oh yeah and he uh shares he has a a beach home shared in the Bridgehampton with the
Little Richard so he he is nothing but uh rock and roll and I I called him I know I said John
Dave uh Letterman and uh what do you think of Warren says he said well Dave just between you
and me and I said not going anywhere don't worry about it he said we we do some focus
groups on these nominees it makes perfect sense I'm not going to tell the guy how to run his Hall
of Fame and he said we we put Warren Zevon out there and did some focus groups on Warren Zevon
and the teens the feedback we got from the teams uh difficult to dance to the Warren
Zevon music right uh and that many of the teams were frightened by Warren and his music uh and
the third and conclusive bit of evidence uh I got from John Sykes the man who owns the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was that was not poppy enough poppy poppy enough and I said say no more
you're the boss I didn't know the Hall of Fame was for the teens I'm just telling you what John Sykes
said after the focus group I'm you know go talk to him rock and roll is really for all ages right
famously I think it's for young and old uh but he did say and this is the good news
he said when they have the rock and roll uh the official indoctrination induction
Nation vaccination into into the Hall of Fame we think it's going to be at
the Barclays Center in Brooklyn which you you and I have some familiarity with there yeah
but anyway he said that night for a surprise and again I was sworn to secrecy on this I said guess
who the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is inducting into the Hall of Fame on that rock and roll night
take a guess you won't guess go ahead guess um I don't know no no guess who didn't even guess
oh this is why you need Brian tetta here yes yes because he'd give me answers together that's right
sure uh uh the national oh I love the national you know uh I love them I love them and they had
this song called uh weird goodbye which is not on the new album the new album is the first two
chapters of Frankenstein this song uh was uh an older national song and they released a duet with
um a penty bliss no Taylor Swift no not Taylor Swift no it was uh Bon Iver a bad winter good
winter yeah Bon Iver anyway you know tell them that the line the best line we read in an article
about the national oh yeah the national is your saddest Friends the favorite band I love that but
anyway I love them yeah but so he's singing about the weird goodbyes and the the the the lyrics go
something like I don't know why I don't try harder he's he's a man who is preoccupied
it's been a sad parting of the way family I don't know why I don't try harder that's preoccupying
um uh Matt berniger I don't know why I don't try harder and now here comes the punch I feel
like throwing towels into water Jesus what a Madman call the police the guy's gonna throw
the throat love the national and I I wish I could be Matt berniger because there's nobody
cooler than Matt berniger and they ought to be in the Hall of Fame but anyway Brooklyn that
night who do you think did you guess no Elvis Just say Elvis okay Elvis I think Elvis is in
you know who's not in who really ought to be in take a guess on that one Eliza Minnelli
can we get Brian over here now I can make that happen okay well you can guess Mary I guess the
national oh yeah yeah good no uh JJ kale should be in you know they call me the breeze they call
you the breeze is that jjk no that's me I just said that but anyway the big surprise that night
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame well you guessed Elvis you guessed the national Pete
Rose that makes no sense yeah Pete Rose will get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame long
before Warren zevonne so there you go and then yeah that's the good apologize for betting on
rock and roll that makes as much sense as Liza Minnelli he bet on rock and roll wow how would
you even bet on rock and roll maybe something to do with the charts no I'm telling you something
you could you could hey you could always bet on rock and roll I think we're gonna agree on that
right rock and roll started with trashing hotel rooms to cleaning up water spills that's that's
right throw towels God he's insane you're like throwing towels into water get a hold of yourself
okay I like that bad too though that's a cool oh they're great and and for my
birthday I received tickets from Marion Joanna uh to go see the national oh are you gonna go
yes beautiful are you gonna go didn't you buy me tickets yeah but I didn't really think you'd go
so you bought the tickets for yourself is what you're saying well thanks a lot
you thought I thought he wouldn't go it's weird this show needs a producer your show needed the
producer thank you I had great producers I worked with wonderful talented friendly Happy People
sure so anyway that's my take on Warren Zevon yeah and and Warren can do without the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame I don't care I don't care if it's next year it should have been we're so long
overdue on Warren right that's fine he's above and beyond believe me he's above and beyond the Rock
and Roll Hall until he gets in and then we'll oh he'll get in and then it'll be John Sykes and my
