179
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,159
And I'm going to be bringing you some
great stories from here in London.
180
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,119
Over the next few weeks,
I'll be talking to The Buggles,
181
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,999
The Clash and Marianne Faithfull,
182
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,119
and earlier today I spoke to
The Vapors.
183
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,679
They haven't yet turned Japanese,
184
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:25,079
but I asked them how it felt
to be on Countdown
185
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,399
all the way from London.
186
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,479
How does it feel to be on Countdown
all the way from London?
187
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,959
It's wonderful.
It's really good.
188
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,879
Great.
Have you heard about Countdown?
189
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,519
Yeah, from you.
190
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,359
What do you think of it?
It sounds alright.
191
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,799
Something like Top Of The Pops.
192
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,519
JAMES: New bands had broken through.
193
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,919
What did you guys all do before you
got into rock'n'roll?
194
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,399
The trick was to convince the public
you had the substance
195
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,039
to keep them interested.
196
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,999
I worked as a hospital porter
for a while...
197
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,199
Yeah?
198
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,399
In a hospital that wasn't open.
199
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,599
And then I worked as an office boy.
200
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:55,799
What about you, Howard?
201
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,639
I worked in a shop.
Yeah?
202
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,479
Just a normal high-street shop,
yeah.
203
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,439
I was a storeman.
204
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,359
OK.
Would you like to say,
205
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,559
"Hello, this is The Vapors
here on Countdown?"
206
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:10,959
Hello. We're The Vapors,
and I think we're on Countdown.

278
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,800

288
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,279
Um, do you think that perhaps
rock'n'roll was slightly lost
289
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,199
in the mid-'70s?
290
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,959
No.
No?
291
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,079
I think rock'n'roll
doesn't really exist anymore.
292
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,279
Yeah?
293
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,119
I mean, there's so many different
aspects of music.
294
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:38,119
Like, disco? There must be a dozen
forms of disco for a start.
295
00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:41,399
Um, I wouldn't like to define
what rock'n'roll is anymore, even.
296
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,599
Yeah.
297
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,079
And then, all of a sudden,
298
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,199
people like Seger, Bob Seger
and Bruce Springsteen,
299
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,999
and people like that just
sort of kept pushing at it.
300
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,799
And The Who kept pushing at it.
The Stones kept pushing at it.
301
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,919
And this resurgence started,
302
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,599
and that sort of, you know,
it sparked some people, you know?
303
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,359
It sort of sparked myself.
304
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:04,439
And I said,
"Well, ah, there you go."
305
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,839
"Let's go get it.
Let's go do some rock'n'roll."
306
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,199
Mr Loaf was right.
307
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,799
Rock'n'roll music could survive
308
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,759
if it was willing to learn
from its mistakes
309
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,200

Hi, Paul. Welcome to Countdown,
right across Australia.
418
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,479
And Molly asked me specially
to send his regards to you.
419
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,679
Oh, thank you very much.
420
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,359
And he's hoping...
Thanks, Moll.
421
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:16,319
He's hoping to catch up
with you soon.
422
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,239
Um, here we are today
at Abbey Road Studios,
423
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,199
where you used to record
with The Beatles.
424
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,399
Yeah.
425
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:22,879
Does that bring back
fond memories for you?
426
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,079
Yeah. I've recorded here quite a lot
anyway, even without The Beatles.
427
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,199
So, uh...
428
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,039
But it is. It's, like,
one of the favourite studios.
429
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,799
This is where I made my first record
with The Beatles.
430
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,599
Terrified out of my mind down there.
431
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,119
Of all the things you've ever done,
432
00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:43,239
is there anything in particular
that you consider your best work?
433
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,359
Um, I don't know.
434
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:48,159
I don't kind of think
in those terms.
435
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,559
I think it's people, like,
who analyse the music scene
436
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,839
think in terms of that,
"What was his best one?"
437
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,359
But I don't know.
438
00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:58,839
If I just had to answer it
for some quiz or something,
439
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,439
um, I might say Sergeant Pepper,
440
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,519
or I might say Yesterday,
441
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,919
or I might just as easily
say something daft,
442
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,639
like, uh, "She Said She Said,"
443
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,799
which is, like,
just a track I like, you know.
444
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,359
This one is called Emotional Rescue.
445
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:15,119
Where did you come up with
that title?
446
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:16,319
I don't know.
447
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,159
Be quiet now,
Italian restaurant people!
448
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,439
We're sitting next door
to the kitchen
449
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,119
of an Italian restaurant, actually.
450
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:24,919
Sorry.
Yeah, where did we get the title?
451
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,519
Well, it's rescue, right,
as in knight on a horse,
452
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,279
but it's, like, mental.
453
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,479
Mm.
You know what I mean?
454
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,079
So, instead of rescuing
the girl physically,
455
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,639
you rescue her from
her mental traumas.
456
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,999
How much longer do you think
The Stones will go on?
457
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,919
Oh, a couple more years, I should
think, at least, if not more.
458
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,719
Got a lot of energy left,
as far as...
459
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,519
Yeah. I mean, I'm not going to stop
working because The Stones finish.
460
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,599
I'm not saying they will finish,
but I mean, if they did,
461
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,479
I wouldn't stop singing, you know?
462
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,759
Mm-hmm.
463
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,559
There's plenty of other musicians.
464
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,999
MOLLY: Now, I gather that
from Space Oddity
465
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,639
that Major Tom
was a sort of a superhero
466
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,359
to those that listened to him.
Yeah.
467
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:10,799
Yeah, he was an aspect
of the American Dream
468
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,639
that took off, but,
the dream got lost on him.
469
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,959
I mean, it wasn't resolved
at that time.
470
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,679
And he was a hero, obviously.
471
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,519
Yeah, but to me, he was an anti...
472
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,519
He was a hero to me,
but an antihero.
473
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,799
He didn't have any social contacts.
(LAUGHS)
474
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,959
Bowie's fans were used to him
reinventing himself.
475
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,199
The new decade would see other
'70s superstars doing the same.
476

Hello?

00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,319
Ah, Frank Dunn from 2WG.
How are you, mate?
704
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,839
Yeah. Is everything looking good
for the show up there?
705
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,559
Make sure you get everyone from the
station down there to vibe along.
706
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,039
Good on you, mate. Bye-bye.

was "Seventeen."
720
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,719
Yeah. (HUMS A BAR OF THE VERSE)
Great song.
721
00:44:07,720 --> 00:44:10,719
Can you sing a couple of bars?
I like that melody a lot, yeah.
722
00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:12,519
Yeah. It's a beautiful song.
Yeah. Beautiful song.
723
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:13,719
It won a Grammy, too, didn't it?
724
00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:15,159
Yeah. It won two.
Two Grammys?
725
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,319
Yeah. I walked into a store this
morning on Bourke Street
726
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:18,879
and they were playing it.
Right.
727
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,879
Have you been playing the mandolin
long, you know. You...
728
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,119
Wait a minute. Just hang on.
729
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:24,799
Hey, hey, hey! Hey. Cut it out.
What are you doing?
730
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:25,999
What is this?
731
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,399
MOLLY: Who said we were feuding?
732
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,519
I don't know. It's ridiculous.
Absolutely ridiculous.
733
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,599
What a lot of nonsense to...
That's right.
734
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,559
Listen. Thanks again
for compering the show.
735
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,119
Oh, that's alright.
Yeah, just put that down.
736
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,759
Listen. You must be the most
written-about person at the moment.
737
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,479
Every magazine I pick up,
738
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,639
there's this big black eyes
looking out at you.
739
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,639
(LAUGHS)
You have a way with words, Molly.
740
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,959
Summer concerts coming up
is LRB and Charlie Daniels.
741
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,159
Good concert, yeah.
Yeah?
742
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:51,359
What about Roxy Music?
Fantastic.
743
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,359
How's Bryan Ferry? Do you know?
He's much better, yeah.
744
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,599
AC/DC?
Good concert. I mean, good band.
745
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:56,919
I just don't like that record.
Sorry.
746
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,119
Have you seen them live?
No...
747
00:44:58,120 --> 00:44:59,479
Apparently they're fantastic.
748
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:00,959
Willie Nelson?
I haven't seen him, either.
749
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,159
Mmm, once you've seen his teeth
750
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,559
you'll prefer to listen to
his records.
751
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,639
Right. Five is The Police
on the 17th of February.
752
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,119
Well, what can I say?
753
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,999
Right. Rod Stewart?
Always a good live act.
754
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,199
Be fair.
Fantastic, even with that nose.
755
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,919
"So, Molly the Mouth,
say you're sorry"
756
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,359
"or I'll change my station
in such a hurry."
757
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,879
"Your ratings will drop.
You'll be a disgrace."
758
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,079
"And you'll be there
with egg on your face."
759
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:25,359
Well, I don't know
about being egg...

763
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:32,679
Alright.
Anybody want to say anything?

Molly.
765
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,640
Molly. Hello.
766
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,679
Good to see that Ace
is still firing away there.
767
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:42,879
Good old Ace,
768
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:44,919
who actually turned out to be
a hero after last time.
769
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,079
And thanks, Jane, and thanks, Paul,
and thanks, Little Eric.
770
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,959
It'll be good to have you over here.
771
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,719
And of course, thanks...
Martha.
772
00:45:52,720 --> 00:45:54,439

..Molly.
773
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,439
Thank you. Aren't I lucky?
774
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:57,959
Listen. It's time to say goodnight.

00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,079
Whoa!
Best of luck with the tour.
776
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,599

Complex songwriters were seeing great
success with complex songs.
816
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,519
And there's so many people
that have fallen into the trap.
817
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,759
If they get a formula
of A-minor, G, C,
818
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,719
and from there on, every song
will be A-minor, G, C,
819
00:49:59,720 --> 00:50:01,559
because they know it works.
820
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:06,399
But I thought, good artists,
people like Bowie, Cliff Richard,
821
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,319
you know, the real biggies,
they keep moving.
822
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,119
And that's the important thing
about, I think, art.
823
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:16,359
That you don't remain stagnant.
You keep moving and pushing.
824
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,119
Australian bands fought
their own songwriting demons.
825
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,479
The Bee Gees and LRB had
made it big a few years before.
826
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,519
We could compete, as long as
our songs were world-class.
827
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,159
G'day.
828
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,439
You were saying just before that,
you get a lot of your inspirations
829
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,479
by reading newspapers
and things like that.
830
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:33,679
Yeah.
831
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,039
Like, let's take
a lot of your songs.
832
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:36,239
There's so much jail reference.
833
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:38,119
You've never been in jail, have you?
834
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:39,519
Uh, only visiting.
Yeah?
835
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,279
So, where do you get
those ideas from?
836
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,039
Well, we've played
a couple of times in jails,
837
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:49,039
and I've gone out to a jail
in Sydney a couple of times.
838
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:50,439
Right.
839
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,159
And because there's some guys,
producers of music out there,
840
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,119
and just have a look at
what they're doing.
841
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,159
Right. Well, let's take 'Khe Sanh'
as far as Vietnam is concerned.
842
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:00,639
You were never in Vietnam, either,
were you?
843
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,639
No, but I knew some guys
who were over there.
844
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,199
Right.
845
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,679
So, you sort of just accumulate
all this information,
846
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:10,199
and then it just sort of sometimes
comes out in your songs? Is that it?
847
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,279
Yeah, sometimes.
Photographic memory.
848
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,639
And what about yours?
Through the haze, I'd imagine.
849
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,079
Uh, no, I haven't done that.
850
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,839
