🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 76s

"I mean, I know there's a TV ban, I know it's manufactured, but you guys Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa. Okay, I take, I take slight offense to that word. And no, I'm kidding. Not offense. But I just want to correct you. I was teasing a bit. But in my show, I actually bring up the original ad in the trades, the Hollywood but it says madness, something wanted folk and roll singer musicians for acting roles in a new TV series that it doesn't mention a group or a band at all. It was a television show about this group. And I talk about this in my show. It was a TV show about a group that wanted to be famous, wanted to be the Beatles. On the TV show, though, it's interesting to know we never made it on the TV show, because it was the struggle for the success that I think was was so important, but we never made it. And it does beg the question of how we could afford a Malibu beach house."
