SPEAKER_02 3:23

This guy comes up to me. Like all the cards of a royal blood. And he's peeling off those dollar bills. Clappin' them down. And I can see those by the flames. I can see those by the flames. Across the mud huts where the children sleep. Through the valleys in the quiet city streets. We take the staircase to the first floor. We turn the key and slowly unlock the door. A man breeds to attacks the fall. We hear the city go. Outside it's America. Outside it's America. I can't tell the difference between ABC News Hill Street Blues. And a preacher of the old time gospel hour. Stealing money from the sick and the old. I feel a long way from the hills of San Salvador, who the sky is ripped open, and the rain pours through a gaping wound. Pelting the women and children. Pelting the women and children. Run. Run into the Isles of America.

SPEAKER_03 6:29

He was born in the belly of the country. Over east of Eden. Confused by the big city blues in no light he's leaving. Put yourself behind the wheel and see if you can get that wheel. And the body was unbattered. America who led. America. All of you soon are friends. I take you in the sign on the same. Can't sleep at night. Can't sleep at night. He was the kingdom. American. American. But the American dream. There's a thousand young ones up and gotta make it to the summer screen. But she had to walk, the luck, the heart that stuffed the world. Some like another boy. Some like a cool. Another scale.

You're shell crowd. And the bitches don't know. You like me the most. Running through grass to our knee. It was cool of you to leave. And with it our secret friendship. Went to war lunch lines were drawn. I can't explain the side we were on. And those bitches don't know. You like for me the most.

SPEAKER_00 29:32

Steely Dan doing a live version of my old school for the midnight special on August 31st, 1973. Live on NBC. I actually passed through Annadale, New York a few weeks ago, which is where Mary College is and where Walter Record and Donald Reagan first met. There's not much of it there, as I recall. Gloria Grenol and Jenny, weird man doing rid of the Billy from the lizard in my backyard. They are playing the Wild Windows in Oldland, California, a festival hosted by John Water. They will be joined by Lady Hill, right wing and many others. And the day before that anyway is going to be aligning. Before that angry Johnny and Kilbilly, doing angry do it all meltdown from their 2003 album killed Auto Albion Volume 3. And everybody having the headache in etiquette. We started out with the four brand new single Gerald and Axel. They are playing Lion and I DC. Undoubtedly they will play that. You and I are listening to the World Famous Rady Kill Line Hour coming to you from Radio Fairfactory. If you have any comments or follow us on our Facebook, Instagram, Rady K Radio, our E D D Y K radio. I am the red, white and blue, Reddy Kelly, well red and blue anyway. We were living in Lacks. And I think we were getting a new energy. And we're a lot of veterans in that part of the world, as well as military people. I think it's also important to remember that. It was only 31 years after World War II and a lot of veterans were celebrating you. I can say only energy because I think I'm 55 years old now. You know, let's we're just going to do water gate in Vietnam and English. We're just in that. Anyway, the moon round. This is a song called Weak and Out.

SPEAKER_03 33:40

Get something in the system. See so why you gotta take it so far. Excuse me, I'm out of rhythm. Take your pills to sleep in any card. Okay, give me a little bit of a job, get a job, get a job, I can't get though, I can't get me though, we're not trying to, I don't care about this, but of you stressed information, supposed to fire my imagination, I can't get through, don't know what's what I say. I can't get no I can't get me no, and I trump, and I trust, I try, I can't get no, I can't get me know When I'm watching my TV, and I don't think I'm home killing my church could be, but it can't be a man because it's a nice boat, same cigarette as me, I can't get no, I don't know. Hey, hey, hey, that's what I say. I wanna die around the world, and I'm doing this, and I'm trying that, and I'm trying to make up and go. I do the speed, I can't get no, I don't know. Hey, hey, hey That's what I say I can't get those, I can't carry those, I can't get no such, I can't carry no such I don't know, I can't get no suggestions I don't know, I can't carry no suggestions I don't know the number no suggest and the no-no suggest carry those can get no suggestions they can't get no satisfaction.

SPEAKER_00 41:42

That's from the 1978 album Are We Not Men? We are Devo! Proof that Akron Ohio rocks. Originally the song was gonna be a cover of Painted Black, but after a while they decided they liked the lyrics of satisfaction more. Devo making it as close as Scranton, Pennsylvania on August 7th. Before that, yeah yay! New York City, a trio that's still together after all these years. From the 2003 album Fever to Tell, we heard Date with the Night. We started out with Dexter and the Moonrocks, freaking out a brand new single. With Rockmorton, Texas, they will make it out this way in early December in Silver Spring on December 9th at Fillmore, and in Charlottesville at the Jefferson Theater on September 10th. You're listening to the Ready Kilowatt Hour, a great American band coming up right now, the Allman Brothers band from 1970, doing a song originally written and recorded by blind Willie McTell. This is State's pro blues.

SPEAKER_03 44:00

Hell's that's what I'm doing. What's up? But you can't make it baby. It's just a little steel to the colour.

SPEAKER_11 47:14

Almost cut my hair. It happened just the other day. Get kind of. I could have said it wasn't five ways. But I didn't, and I wonder why I feel like letting my freedom fly. Must be because I had the flu for Christmas. And I'm not feeling up too far. It increases my paranoia. Like looking at my mirror and seeing a bully scar. But I'm not giving it an inch to feel. I'm gonna get down in that sunny southern weather. And I'm playing settlers.

SPEAKER_00 51:15

Nash and Young Shredding. Almost cut my hair from Deja Vu in 1970. The one and only album by Crosby Stills, Nash and Young. David Crosby sang that song years later in concert. I saw him, I think it was like 1986 or 87, live in Connecticut. And he would discuss the time in prison that he spent for drug offenses, where he actually did have to cut his hair. And he would credit the policeman who arrested him, and the judge, and the prison for saving his life. In fact, I think he invited the judge to some of his shows. From 1970, Wayne Allman and Dickie Meting Together. I think more American than Dickers wreading together. We're listening to the ready killed one hour. And we started tonight's show with an Irish man singing about America. And now we end the show with an American tribute to an Irishman. That is gonna be the first single from an upcoming tribute album. The album is gonna be called Money of the Dream Hattie.

SPEAKER_08 52:38

The song is called a ringing high and sound at your funny way. We watched our friends grow up together, and we sung as they fail. Some of them failed to hear. Some of them failed in the hearing. I took shelter from a shower, and I stepped into your room on a rainy night, and so the wind was whistling on its joy. And I sang you told me of your joy. Whatever happened to the wake up in the morning, the ginger lady by my bed. I'd hear you token in my singing for the future. And I'm not dreaming the pain.

SPEAKER_00 57:23

And with that, it's time to unplug the Ready Kilowatt Hour for another week. A reminder you can stream our old shows on Ready K Radio.busRoute.com as well as on your favorite podcasts. We're back on Radio Fairfax next week with both rock and roll. The time will be Thursday, 9 o'clock Eastern, like it always is. And I hope you have a good, safe July 4th holiday. This is ReadyJ Kilowatt, your rock and roll servant. Stay well, stay safe. And please don't kill anyone. Good night.
