I'm not the original anybody because first of all I can't be full lady guy guy so I don't know how I could be in the original lady Anybody, you know number one, okay, so let's get real here. Yeah, I am who I am today because of Frank Sapa That is the truth. Did you like being a playboy bunny? I Did and I was a billiards bunny. I shot pool and how's your pool superior? I passed out in 76 and woke up in 77 together remember I fell 40 feet over the window you were in a coma for a year Half a year life support I'm here with one of my favorite singers of all time miss Dale Bo. I bought this book not long ago. I love this book. You put a lot of your heart in this book, no? Are you asking me that? Yeah. What's telling me that? I'm asking because I feel like your heart's really in the well, let's put this back. Yes, I agree. You're a fellow Pisces like me. Oh, really?

You're March 2nd.

Right.

I'm March 17.

Oh, wow.

So I understand your pain.

That's where we're going to start this interview.

Okay.

Well, now we're on.

But I know we know we did the whole other level. level. But as a fan of yours, I always feel you always lead with your heart in your music.

Does that, is that accurate? Yes, or my name? Is that okay? But is that how you are in life?

Because that's how I feel, but I don't know that. Yes know that yes. This this book I think you know more than you say you do now that we know that we're not birthday. We're doing we're going from this all level I love that sure. Thank you. You look very you look fantastic fantastic. I know I had a dress up for you. Well thank you very much. You always had true style. It wasn't, I tell you, the thing about that style in those plexiglass. We're not, the plexiglass blooms are in like page four of these next. Okay, whatever. I'm with you. We're starting with music. What about it? Well, your most recent album, Hollywood Live, right? Yes, yes. So I was curious on that because I felt like you were kind of going for... I don't want to say a retro sound because it's not fair to call your sound retro because you invented that sound. But did you purposely want to make kind of a 80s-ish sounding missing person's record? Does it make sense? Oh, that's a big question. Well, there are big questions. I mean, the music is one thing. The attitudes, another, the process is one and all. And why you do it is another reason. Yeah. So for me. I picked one of those. So for me, the music, the reason that came out that way was I don't take the intention of sounding any which way for any reason. I'm a non-singer. I come from... I'm going to argue with you about that, by the way. Well, okay. Well, I developed into something from nothing. Right. But that's why you're a great singer. Well, so I just sort of self taught in a facet. And so with the music of how that Hollywood lie ended up, was that I said I want to focus on being simple and synchronize my impression of my vocal, of how that will be taken, what impression that is gonna set on you when you hear me say these words. Okay, so you thought that musical backdrop was? Oh, sing to you. I wanted, now, after all I've done, I mean, that's why. I mean, only because not because I'm a new band and I'm looking for a hit number one, one bang top, you know, got to have a riff and kick and you know, what's the glitch? No, that's not the story. I have to succumb to people like you that would say, Oh, what? What is this? What does this mean? Well, that's what I'm asking you.

Right.

So that's, I guess I did the right thing then. Ah, you made me ask the question. Mm-hmm, which is what you wanted. Yeah. Okay. Thank you very much. Okay. I appreciate that. I'm curious. We're going back here at the beginning. So you were born in Boston in 1955? Yes.

Catholic family?

Yes.

How did I know that?

I just can feel it.

Because I'm polite. Italian? Roman. Okay. My... Roman Catholic? Yeah. Me too. My great-grand uncle of the seventh generation died acting Pope in the Vatican in Rome. My father is Roman and when I went to Rome on tour with Frank Sapa, he got paperwork for me to be allowed to go into the Vatican to see all the frozen cryogenically frozen popes because one of them was my name consul. My me my father's name is the Roman name. Yeah, and that I got because it was on my passport. Consul. So you saw the frozen. I saw all the frozen. Well, Terry bosie. Okay, with me and Terry says, can you can you take a poll right? We went in with scops on.

And so we leave the, we see and we do all this stuff, you know, paperwork, all of the scientific didn't get out and all this stuff. Yeah, and it can solve the popes all over the Vatican. He's in the walls, the whole nine yards, right? So we go back to Frank's, the hotel in Frank's,
