Welcome to Raw Impressions, Mondays, music, mini episode. We could start by talking about two things. What's that? Well, first, what's the thing you're going to say?
The thing that I'm going to say? Yeah. About apologizing? First, you're going to start with an apology.
No, this is our third restart for this episode. And I was actually flirting with the idea of not even apologizing because I already apologized twice, three times. Yeah, I didn't tell you to apologize. Once when it actually happened, and then two times as we tried to start this episode unsuccessfully.
But now I'll explain it. I had the little announcement that you're welcome to the mini music Monday, like way too loud. And it just tore it all into your ears apart. A delicate.
A delicate. So now people know. Man, the things I do to my ears, the abs, the accidental jabs of noise that I have persevered through. I'm very worried about my ears.
Okay. Yeah. I take your ears and I got a damn day. I know that's what I'm saying.
I don't want your ears. They're damaged. They really are. The good thing is that the seasons are changing.
And I do have this very low, very low tonight is in my right ear. And when the summer comes, it goes away. Yeah. Well, that's good.
That's good. That's good to not have that demonical. Anyway, I'd like to be clear that I was not saying you have to apologize, sir. I thought that you were just voluntarily doing it as a tradition.
Like, oh, I start the episodes off with an apology. We could do that. We could do that. We could make that our thing.
That could be a little hook for us. I'm sorry. We're searching desperately to find like the center in the heart. What is the purpose of this podcast?
Yeah. Well, it's easy today because it's mini music Monday. So that means that I play songs and we talk about music. Well, I would like to say that I'm not searching for the meaning of this podcast.
I feel perfectly satisfied with just talking every week and just having to just be about whatever we're talking about. I think that the world at large likes podcasts to have themes and structure and experts and things like that. And if you want something a little less structured, a little less predictable, wrong impressions. You've come to the right place.
We're here for you. This week's episode is about Tina Turner, or what we know about Tina Turner, which is not a whole lot, but it's fair amount. We live with Tina. Well, we mostly live with her memories because we were just thinking about how prominent she was in her childhoods.
Like, you grow up at least in the 70s and 80s and Tina Turner is just a part of your life, you know, and she was kind of like a big part of my life. I thought she was so fucking cool. Anytime she came on, yeah, on MTV because MTV was constantly on in your home. And her revival and her big comeback in 1983 with the album, Private Dancer, this is a fact.
Okay. 1983, the album was Private Dancer. Are you sure? Yes.
Okay. So, Adele and I went back and we listened to some Tina Turner just the other day, you know, I was really surprised how raw her voice was on Private Dancer and what's love got to do with it. I know everybody knows this, but I think because I remember it as being kind of this 80s pop confection, this sort of New Zaki, new wavy, full of cheesy keyboards. But at the heart of those songs, she really sounds kind of torn up and it was more intense than I remember.
Oh, it's not cheesy at all. It's actually, I mean, I think now going back and listening to things like, yeah, Private Dancer, that album, to me, it seems like a head of its time. You know, it's like, holy shit, this is really innovative. It's sort of a head of its time because now people like to make records that sound like that 80s music.
Like, like, kids really dig that. They really dig that sound like, oh, here comes the keyboard saxophone. Oh, that's amazing. That's an amazing sound.
Back then, you know, as a young, a hardcore person in 1983, 1982, 1983, my taste works stream. But having said that, I was really, I had no problem with sitting through a Tina Turner video. Wow. On my way to like, I don't know what good things I was waiting for.
I mean, probably. You didn't think Tina Turner was good. Of course she was good. The music was super cheesy.
You found it super cheesy. I found the music super cheesy. You know what? I guess, I mean, maybe it's just because I was like, you're 10 years older than me.
So when I was little in the 80s, you were like seven. You were Izzy's age. Okay. Can I speak?
Yeah. All right. I liked it. And you know what else I liked?
Private dancer. You know what else you liked? What? Poison.
Exactly. So what? That's damn right I did. I had a poster of C.C.
de Ville, you guys. You thought C.C. de Ville. He was the one for me.
It was hot. What is that? I mean, don't tell C.C. I said that.
Yeah, like Brad Michaels? No. C.C. de Ville.
He's got that special stuff. I don't know. You guys, I had a huge poster of him at the end of my bed and I would just stare at it. And I'm like, yeah.
C.C. de Ville. How is this going to manifest itself? How is it manifested itself in any way in your life?
Like have you ever had a boyfriend that looked like C.C. de Ville? Absolutely not. No, it's just so strange.
I mean, when you, you know how to think are still a lingering like sort of retro. No, you are, you're, I mean, you're my original like crush because you're Gisley Adams. I mean, that's what I wanted to marry, but like, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I have, I have unique taste.
I'm not just one thing, but yes, C.C. de Ville. Why are we still talking? Anyway, it's a little Tina Turner.
It's about Tina Turner. Maybe I should just try to play this song because I'm going to try. I'm going to play this song as many times as it takes to play it right live right now. If I make a mistake, I'm not stopping the tape.
I'm not going back. I'm just going to figure this song out. Okay. Let me get my camera ready to video this.
Well, that makes me more nervous. Okay, you can do it. Okay. You must understand that the touch of your head makes my pulse react.
But it's only the thrill of a boy meeting girl. Opposites attract. Yeah, it's physical. Only logical.
You must try to ignore that. It means more than that. Oh, what's love got to do, got to do it. What's love got to do, what's love got to do, what's love got to do, what's love got to do, what's love got to do, what's love got to do, what's love got to do with it.
Who means a heart when a heart can be broken? It may seem to you that I'm acting confused when you're close to me. Yeah, Tanta looked at you. I've read it someplace I've got cause to be.
There's a name for it. There's a phrase that fits. But whatever the reason you do it for me, oh, what's love got to do, got to do it. What's love got to do, what's love got to do, what's love got to do, what's love got to do with it.
What's love got to do, what's love got to do, what's love got to do with it. Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken? The instrumental track of what's love got to do with it, 19 A Turner from the Private Dancer album in 1983. It's terrible.
Wow. Yes. But I loved it when I felt really empowering to me. The music.
Yeah. Really? I like the way, yeah, I like everything about it. I liked all the texture and sounds and.
That's you, you were seven. I'm also not a musician, I'm just a fan. You were seven. I was a budding jaded music lover.
You still sound jaded. You tell me that all the time. I think I'm really open minded. Oh, really?
Yeah. Okay. I'm really open minded. In 1983, I was listening to, that would be when REM probably was happening.
That's when I was listening to the birthday party. That's when I was listening to just the culmination of all the new wave and punk rock that had been, you know, buoyed me up and got me through my life. Okay. So it took away all of the instrumental part of it.
What did you think of Tina Turner's voice? Well, Tina Turner is a bad ass. I grew up with her as a badass. She was like watching her dance on TV, like during turbulent times with my youth in the late 60s and early 70s, her appearances on variety shows were always super electric and energizing.
And of course, like the, I think the real, the footage that really kind of kills you is her doing proud Mary with Ike. I think it was the Monterey Pop, Monterey Pop Festival. And the, you're just, she and the IKats are like, well, the dancing is so intense. And it also, it takes on the time period that it was in two because Tina was the first black woman to be on the cover of Rolling Stone.
What else? She was like, she, I mean, she had like, you know, she had what's left to do with it was number one in 1983. What do you think of it as a fool? She did first.
And I'm saying like an acoustic version of what's loved got to do with it. How does that like song sit for you? It's wonderful. I love the song.
And I actually know it. I mean, it's weird how much I actually knew it intuitively because there are some leaps into the chorus and stuff that when we listen to it initially with the idea of me doing it, I was like, oh, that's going to be really difficult. But then I sat down this morning and within 10 minutes I had the whole song. I felt it.
Like I immediately felt the song. And it's a beautifully, it's actually a beautiful written song. And you know, like that episode of Shits Creek. Oh my gosh.
Yeah. But when he's listening to him, he's not an acoustic version of this. Just simply the best. It's like incredible.
Oh, it's, this song was originally intended for or written, it was really, really cheesy band called Bucks Fizz from England. They were like Uber, cheesy pop band even because it's cheesy as like American pop wasn't the eighties boy. If you went to Europe around that time, pop music just takes on a whole other dimension of cheese. It's incredible.
Okay. It's time to stop talking. Okay. Snow music.
Didn't even get to talk about her. Thank you for listening. What? Mad Max beyond Thunderdome.
I loved her in that movie so much. She's saying the theme song for that and the video is so great. She's like in the dome. We don't need a non-the hero.
Oh my God. Yeah, I loved it. Alright, see ya. While every other channel is fighting for your customers' attention, podcasts are where they've already given it.
