a drummer was robert next who went on to be a part of the big job robert and seventy pounds a latin rhythm section and he told me a few years or is it because of the best band of its top informants of what they now call a cover band we make some sound just like the record truck allowed to box and that the grounds and it was they overthrow him in the us and began a big influence big influence on the music was there was greater scares thousand source the color sort of the emotional mosh pit for about two and a half years and taken two million families those as sort of stagnate lebanon all muffled said that porter severe depression panic disorder have a camera wham o plane the big jump and a poignant moment the national grid is a great time for me but nationalism i don't yeah that was always one to be there for those of you just tuning in and

talk and bobby braddock about his book done in oregon they are which is over and over to florida and he's up for morgan they'll end that magnet on my show podium course you know wife yeah and less family by that catalyst of the whole flank of me believing their incoming iranians worked for the strangest of reasons i head out and there's a story of self taught how a core wife and she how she'll where a husband but the shia we had been married about three weeks and then spun off for a fiance was where an additional and that i'd given the two three years are washing up for fans she demanded that she evacuated scotland such a terrible feeling that after fifty three four weeks off we were sitting on top of the nuclear

arsenal i have an awful lot more feel like utter failures before all this marriage falls apart you know before my one month anniversary fame i thought we probably need to get away from orlando so i asked her i said to be one of our national menu has felt that us crude <unk> and mercedes and she does the whole tone changed what gave my notice to debate jobs and so the reason i left ford of finance for something i always wanted to but it was to i guess to say to save their marriage and most of my friends are my family both osha government for the close friends and whether confession and i thought i'll be back you know forty years on her and creates real tension between human element of land doesn't believe they're gone and another member can the center is can that israel and this is wrong i am offered a change in

a massive up and show you to be out of syria womanizer and newsom not only my name in their adult thinking he was going to have a little fun with its intact you know about why feels about that i saw him in tallahassee and forty four he lives range from an in the same boat well as hostility rosen grows and grows and finally life before masha gessen and doing new kurdistan and when you go after him and the two have you're right there on the floor have enough out on the floor and that the employees that john's guitar chord and his error hit the guitar and of engineering they been here in the dust in the mines is all for the chauffeur say is almost like a second stage for first let's begin with that it did indeed that happened in the assault so that the climatic fourth the book really tortured in the book that in the fulton lance i think you

said the drummer so i remain there and that the base for all their ability to manage the show oppose signing in jacksonville you to look through the book the after the book signing in an intimate i also understand is when the coral did you come to nashville and and in the end you say it is success here documents the news for him in all there was this one awarded the up and there were two of these things i want to do that and there's as a recognition provision for children and then then there are but kit pittsburgh's abortion done filming on research he said the city for us they're measuring their memo struggle at an and always wanted to read in a rotisserie towns

the manuscript of the mentor the great songwriter jonathan and john it has been given a downhill runner from actually am really wonderful writer one or four under and he promises a visit bala surveys said this isn't great story said there'd come unglued to gather is that you're transitioning to be better so i'll sort of head closure at on the job training offering wanna one of his short of went to school on and then over and over and over and more are probably wrote it about ten times at target to target to john and he said that he will often thought senator elish impression they were unanimous in watching it for the fervent about his men everybody wants their once wrote a book

i've ever seems virtually everybody wants their mind as forthright salt talk about what must be the major difference is that i think like a songwriter can become also a jet pilot boss want the focus our kids passed would become an alderman it's an entirely different process is just so very very very different there's nothing that i learned as a songwriter that help them become an author i don't think this is just so very very different from i say everyone what's your outlook is so that's true i think everyone has a story i think anyone story in the hands of a good writer is interesting takes on wall street they have all the elements that make up a good book a good film on their so their space oscars so there's joy there's tragedy there's drama you can get the most boring person in their front i can wrap that in the hands of a good

writer and a very good story would probably be a very funny sort of an outlet all lines are interesting that there were just a lot of characters i want to write about that that's a thought that the ear and the area put can afford there's been a lot about miami key west is a a lot about pope can afford that six was built it's an end that erupted in the middle of them twentieth century was a good story i should tell our viewers that there are a number of stories in this book this is nice new public television and i have a family audience i'd love to tell stories of the drug runners wife among others but you know i didn't have to go out and buy the book because you will laugh and you will worry about the safety of two teenage children and an

applicant it is one funny story in that russia said don't try this it will happen but i but i would have to decide teddy the the book close in a great mileage it and truly isn't knows how to recognize top twenty when he reads it talk to me a little bit though about the writing can be an ordeal lee's writing books can be more than their share the struggle now is writing music songs when all you are can be and some people make a mormon or who like a lot of filth the bishops are away for life and the straw you know and i think i think you can sort of inspiration make yourself or consistently the inspiration will come and sign of writing a book on this

it had the feel compelled and i've learned that there's a different part of the brain that there's a different part of the brain that record recognizes what you have written as far different from the part of the brain that that that guy g n n n in creating what you put in here that i feel like the same of writing a letter like a somewhat aggressive email this about a serious topic major settlement for lifting recalls me like in a couple days later they won't be doing it all with some objective objectivity that they don't have one they're creating and sang with the song lufthansa for florida charlemagne this intensify disagrees thing i've ever done this intuitive readings where everything but no less annoying so country music so did you know we talked on the phone about that is a decade ago a book about music to your we're here to get them about a volley

tennis eight other words would and i did it a way up a lot like a very kind of it was really good it has a great topic at one is that youth novel i was in this big and just about a minute left just about a minute left you know write a sequel or started i'm so happy says this about the netflix for a lot of new format for newsday broke up with men from these are what i deal with but can afford the first family had to write and rewrite again no because not know how to do it and i have certain point on this last weekend of him first i have eighty five volumes of journals to going through and then and that narrative and balances from the second will be a lot easier i'm planning on going right here when you get that finished unpublished and i hope you come back up have finished when you think about it john thanks so much for coming thank all of you for watching and dancing and go forward on words usually it's better
