kick extreme. That’s a show little little wholehearted,
Nestor Aparicio 00:26
little more than words. Where’d you see them?
Marc Roberge 00:29
I saw at you
Nestor Aparicio 00:31
went old enough to get into hammer Jackson. See, no, no, this was at a theater, right? Bender, Bender, American University, Bender and arena, Bender, arena. You know, my saw Bender van, real, for real, the only show I ever saw. Now I’m lying. I saw the bodines there too. He’s a guy, man. Music is cool, a couple 1000 contours. Okay, Matt, back to Matt.

Nestor Aparicio 00:59
me give you a tip. Okay, this is something that maybe you could be a part of. The best website, the best music website I’ve ever seen, being done right now, Daryl Hall has a website called Live from Daryl house, just going to live. This is Darrell setting up high def cameras in his shed up in upstate New York, in Woodstock, New York, where he lives, and he lives, and he invites cats like you to come to his house and jam. It’s the greatest website I’ve ever said. Matt Nathanson did it, Levon helms doing that too. You know that? No, I didn’t know. Levon helms doing that, man, all right. Well, that’s a great way what’s live from darrell’s house, from Darrell. Matt did it. Matt did it. Smokey Robinson did it. You know? He John, John Oates did it too, yeah, but, I mean, he just bangs it out with T von walk and those guys, and they, they make up some food. It’s like a television. It almost looks like something you’d see on VH one, but you can tell it’s not like Darrell is doing it. No, nobody. He’s in charge. He’s making, like an eye movie type thing. Wow, it’s bad. Ass is bad. And they pick any songs they want to do. Like, if you could sing a song with Daryl Hall, what would it be? You want it? He does your songs, his songs. And then you like, do Terrence Trent Darby, wishing well.
Marc Roberge 02:12
And I would do Ryan Adams songs.
Nestor Aparicio 02:14
You would do Ryan ass. I do I saw Ryan Adams at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. I wasn’t I don’t want to tell you what the air smelled like rocking at Ryan Adams, I saw Ryan, and Brian is
Marc Roberge 02:25
the realist. That’s it. And for me, songwriting, that’s it. He’s it. And I say that comfortably. That guy’s got talent.
Nestor Aparicio 02:33
We’re gonna be all right. Marco bear, oh, eight are of a revolution. I don’t have your merry weather date yet, but I’m sure we’ll get it together working. It was my pleasure to meet you my managers online. There he goes, Man, even though he’s a Redskin fan, I’m gonna shake his hand. We’ll step out tan step out.
