TuNesDay: Rock N Roll Heaven

The Waters Wake Up Call with Mike Waters · Tue Feb 4, 2025

Who used all the Wi-Fi?

Ah, apartment life.

Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.

Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.

Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments, furnished in-unit washer and dryer.

Internet included a great central downtown location, one to five bedroom apartments, and no double occupancy fees.

That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.

Union Station Apartments, now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.

Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?

Hey,

it's Mike Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call.

Happy Tunes Day, and I thought since this week is the 66th anniversary of the day the music died, it'd be a good time to ask the question, who would be at the top of your list for the Rock and Roll Heaven Band?

Morning, Sunshine.

You are Mr. Popular this

morning.

Oh, that's been me my whole life.

That's a lie.

You know, as long as you call me, that's all that matters.

So I'm glad I answered and I'm glad you called.

I am you.

Good.

Yeah, yeah, he'll

play his set and then like a bat out of hell will be will be out of there because he's

doing

36 hour concert who doesn't want that

I don't know I like some good heavy meatloaf that stays with you

absolutely

Neil Perk, the greatest drummer of all time.

Yeah, you got Neil Perk, John Bonham, and Keith Moon.

That's the trifecta right there, and they're all up there.

Yeah, Neil Perk was greatly influenced by the Hoos.

Yeah, he loved

the Hoos, and he

loved Led Zeppelin.

Yes, he did, but I loved him and was very sad when he passed, so I decided to call in and get him in there.

Man, when he would go into a drum solo during a rush show, it was like, and I, a lot of times I think, oh, come on, not a twi-

20, 30 minute drum solo.

Do we really have to?

But when Neil Peart did it, I looked forward to

it.

Yes, the combo off their live album when they did Working Man, and I can't even remember the other name of the song now, but did like a 20 minute drum solo on the end of that, and that was when he first joined the band, and it was just amazing.

Yeah.

Finding my way.

Oh, finding my way, yeah.

That combo on that live album, it's like the best song ever.

I know I've heard it, because I've heard the album, but I'll have to re-listen it.

Oh, it's great.

All right, well, we got it.

Do some rush, absolutely.

Yeah, thank you.

Yeah, thanks for

calling.

I'd love to see John Belushi in that.

Yeah, yeah, little Blues Brothers, man.

I love John Belushi, man.

He was so awesome watching him play music.

It

was surprising.

I remember first seeing them on Saturday Night Live, and it was so surprising that he, both he and Dan Ackroyd, were so good, and they had such a band behind them anyway.

He was a good vocalist.

Plus, I mean, you see him do the flips and the cartwheels.

It's like, good lord!

And the backflips.

I just seen the one the other night when he was doing Joe-

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yep, they

had done this thing called Lemmings.

It was a comedy, kind of a parody of Woodstock, and he did Joe Cocker in that.

If you look on YouTube, you'll see some scenes from the original live show of that, which is kind of cool.

He did Cocker so

well.

How about Jerry Rafferty?

Jerry Rafferty, yeah!

Oh yes, the bass, oh just the... The sax is great.

The sax, there you go.

So I'll tell you what, I'll include the saxophone beginning.

How about that?

Hey, can I play you this rare version of Baker Street?

It's got an alternate sax beginning.

Yeah.

Alright, hang on, here we go.

Here, I'll go ahead a little bit.

Won't be long now, Iron Man.

Here we go.

I like to pull that out every once in a while meatloaf

Oh, yeah, I love all his music.

I remember the first time I saw him, he was on Saturday Night Live, and I think he had just released Bad Out of Hell, but I had no idea who this guy was.

I was like 12, and he just seemed weird.

Making these weird faces, I'm going, Mom,

who's that?

He played in one of my favorite movies.

Which

one?

The Biker Guy.

Yes.

And here's one you've never seen.

Nobody's ever seen.

I saw it in the theater in 1980.

It was called Rody.

It had Meatloaf and Alice Cooper.

and

Debbie

Harry.

Do you know

that one?

I do.

It was a great movie.

Now I watch it every once in a while.

You know, it's kind of one of those cult movie things.

Right.

I'm about to watch it.

It's been a couple years since I've seen it.

Now that you've said something about it.

Yeah, well, we should have a roadie party.

Yes, we should.

I have one I can only imagine if this guy was still alive today what kind of music he would have made.

John Lennon?

Oh man, absolutely, John Lennon.

You

had me at Imagine, my friend.

You had me at Imagine.

Oh, I knew you would be there for that.

Well, of course.

Of course.

Of course.

Oh my goodness.

I was even, believe this or not, I was actually watching the Monday Night Football game.

Yeah.

Yeah, I

thought it was a joke at first.

I'd heard it

on the radio.

Well, when Howard Cosell interrupts a Monday night football game, you know he ain't foolin' around.

It was, it was, it was just, it was enough to take your breath away, that's for sure.

I don't know of

a more tragic rock and roll death than John Lennon.

I don't either.

He had just started doin' his thing again, just started, released an album, had a hit, and boom, there it went.

It was gone.

I mean, 40 years old.

I mean, he'd still be alive today.

I mean, it's,

I thought I had to say that.

Can you only imagine the music we would have gotten from him between now and then?

Hey, Mike.

Good morning.

How are you?

Not

too bad.

Thinking

about your question.

OK.

But there's another question you gotta ask.

OK.

Who wouldn't be involved?

Who wouldn't?

Who wouldn't be in this band?

Well, anybody living?

Well, yeah.

But I was just saying about all the ones we've lost.

Who wouldn't be in that band?

So who wouldn't you?

I

mean, I don't want to say who wouldn't you put in the rock and roll.

That's kind of

mean.

You're mean.

Well, am I wrong?

There's so many.

It's useful.

That's what I'm saying.

Yeah,

yeah.

I never

liked John Lennon so I wouldn't put him in there so

you're not saying like

that guy everybody's gone now it's like who wouldn't who wouldn't be in there

or yeah like you mentioned earlier what was the other day today the music died there's three right there you can put in

so many in that rock and roll heaven band who would be your first choice who would you put in the band first choice

yeah that

was a big loss I mean totally unexpected it's

Like, what the

heck?

I remember where I was when I heard about it, too.

Where

were you?

I was working at the casino in house keeping, and I was cleaning the room that they left the TV on.

So I just changed the channel, you know, just to listen to it.

Right.

And

they

said, Prince died, and I'm thinking, Prince who?

You know, because Prince Philip was getting up in age two.

Right.

So I'm like, thinking Royals, and then they started, I think, naming his songs or something, and I'm like, oh man.

Who
