from MBJ Enterprises LLC · host Max Baker Jr.
For Max and Jeff, it started with a record.The original Mad Dogs & Englishmen album. Tour poster inside. Tour book from the original run. A piece of history hanging on the wall.So when the chance came in 2003, Max did it right.He had Leon sign it first.Leon was proud to autograph it. No hesitation. No attitude. Just signed it.Then they went to Joe Cocker.Joe signed it. Didn’t even look at what he was signing. Just did it and moved on.Now here’s where it gets interesting.The people who met Joe first and got his signature, then walked over to Leon?Leon wouldn’t sign it.“No way.”Wouldn’t touch it.That’s how real that tension was. This wasn’t gossip. It wasn’t legend. It was right there in front of you at the table.And the wild part?Leon would sign anything, anytime, for anyone. Max had done plenty of Leon shows. That day was different. That item was different.Some feuds never really leave the room.Mad Dogs & Englishmen wasn’t just a tour. It was history. And in 2003, you could still feel it.#HeresTheDealPodcast #LeonRussell #JoeCocker #MaxBakerJr #JeffBrownen #oklahomacityLike, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.Follow & Connect: Max Baker Jr. Instagram @bmaddmaxx | Facebook @bmaddmaxx Jeff Brownen Facebook @jeff.brownenHere’s The Deal YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@heresthedealokHere’s The Deal Podcast Website https://heresthedealok.comBuy Here’s The Deal Vintage & Collectables https://heresthedealvintagecollectables.comGet an Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Card https://medcardsmadeeasy.netConcert & Event Production Services https://bakerboyspro.comBuy Roadie CBD Balm & Oil https://bakersremedycbd.com
