One of my favorite Eagles tunes, that is for sure, and that is, of course, Take It to the Limit. We also had Amy Grant in before that with a great version of the Joni Mitchell song, Big Yellow Taxi.

How are you all doing? It's Monday, February 23rd. Thank you all for tuning in to Mental Health Radio, and you're listening right now to the Langdon Auger Show.

So this is how it all works. If you don't know, I know we've had a couple of new people stop by the whole website thing, so you're new to the show. But what you do is you kind of go into your user, that live chat, enter your username, make sure you save it, and then just kind of come chit-chat.

And Robin's already here, and we're expecting at least one more, so maybe you'll come on and you'll listen and you'll chit-chat along with us. You can request a song if you so desire. We can talk about mental health if you so desire, or we can just sit back and listen to music. Your choice.

So we're going to start the show off with a great song from the Doors.

[One of the] popular Canadian protest songs of all time. Of course, that's Bruce Cockburn and "If I Had a Rocket Launcher."

Just the way people are treated and how people are being abused by the government and big corporations, you know, it's just amazing that somebody hasn't just taken a rocket launcher and started blasting some of these, you know, big business guys that just keep raising prices and taking all our money.

Kiss in before that, from a live number two, with 'Calling Dr. Love.' And we start off with the Doors and 'Peace Frog.' Welcome to the Langdon Auger Show. Thanks for tuning in.

I know we have a couple of you that are sitting there and listening, so thank you for that. Robin is in the chat room, and she's already requested a couple of songs. Unfortunately, [44?] Sawyer Brown tunes, and I don't have the one that she would like to hear. But we did get one for her that she wants to hear, so we're going to play that one right now.

My favorite Supertramp album, of course. That is 1977's Even in the Quietest Moments. Of course, Rick Davies on piano and vocals there, and that is 'Downstream.' We had Bob Welsh [name spelling uncertain] in before that. Bob Welsh [name spelling uncertain] had so many great tunes. He not only had 'Sentimental Lady,' but also 'Ebony Eyes.' He also played with Fleetwood Mac for a while, and also a band called Paris.

We lost Bob in 2012, suicide, shotgun wound, and then Michael Jackson telling us exactly what we need to do. We want to make a change in our life. You got to look at the man in the mirror, and it's going to be tough, but you can do it. Mental health is not that bad. You just got to figure out how you're going to deal with it.

It's 25 minutes after the hour of five. Thanks, everybody, for tuning in. Of course, this is the Monday, February 23rd show. We're here until 7 p.m., and we're playing music and maybe chit-chatting a little bit about mental health. It depends on you. Robin has already made her request, so let's see if we can get some more going here. We'll play some more music. The DJ has got to have a bit of a break here, so we're going to do this break here for you, and hopefully you enjoy these.

How'd you like that?

[Practical?] album, of course, their live album. That is, of course, Stephen Page [name spelling uncertain] and the Bare Naked Ladies with Brian Wilson. Such a great voice he has. And glad now that he's kind of cleaned himself up and gotten back into the Bare Naked Ladies. I managed to catch him quite a few years ago up at the BAMP Center [name uncertain]. And nice to see that he's cleaned up his act, of course, with all that little bit of cocaine issue that he had there. But nice that he's back and still performing. So that's good to see.

And before that, we had Electric Light Orchestra and Rock Aria [title/name uncertain] and Alice in Chains' 'Lesson Learned.' And I keep forgetting about that song. That song just comes in right off the bat and just starts banging, and it kind of freaks me out every time. I got to remember to be prepared for that because it's such a great Alice in Chains song.

Anyway, rock and roll is a vicious game. That's all there is to it.

00:43:25

01:00:12

A great version of the Allman Brothers song, of course, 'Midnight Rider.' And, of course, that is Joe Cocker. I mean, I was so glad to see him in concert. I'm so glad I actually got to see him, because what a showman he is. And before that, of course, we had Tears for Fears, one of their three monster hits that they have, 'Sowing the Seeds of Love.' Moist in there as well with 'Believe Me.' April Wine started that set off with 'Rock and Roll Is a Vicious Game.'

We have one more set of music before our dance portion of the show. So, you know, start getting yourself warmed up and hydrated. We got to make sure that there's no injuries here on the Langdon Auger Show. So thanks, everybody, for tuning in. If you don't know, you can come on down to the live chat, enter a username, hit save, and just start chatting with us. Make a request. Let's hear what you like to hear. And if I got it, I'll play it by request right now.

Great tune from the Hawleys [name spelling uncertain] there, of course. That is 'Bus Stop.' Fleetwood Mac in before that with 'Go Your Own Way.' And the Tragically Hip started off that set by request, but also was based on Gord Downie when he grew up. In 1968, Elvis was in his hometown filming 'Speedway.' So, yeah, 1968 'Speedway' is where he got that song. He said Elvis and a few other songs, but do you know what the phrase 'blow it high dough' means? It's one that Gord Downie's mother used to say when he was growing up, to [significant?] that he was overreaching. Yeah, just learned that myself, so it was kind of a little bit of a surprise.

All right, but we're back to, you know, the music. We've got the dance portion of our show, so I hope that you're all hydrated and you've at least stretched out a bit. I know you chair dancers think you just got to move the top and then nothing. No, don't forget about the core. You got to move the core. So we're going to give you three minutes and 23 seconds to get that core kind of moving. And once again, by request, here's another one.

01:13:01

Great song there from King Harvest, of course, 'Dancing in the Moonlight.' We had Hadaway [name spelling uncertain] in before that with 'What Is Love,' and that was our dance portion of the show. Hopefully there's no injuries out there in the Langdon Auger world. And Traveling Wilburys started off before that, 'End of the Line.'

Seems like now we got two chat rooms going on here. GP, I didn't recognize right off the bat, but she's chatting on my iMac, and everybody else is chatting on my PC and laptop. Still, I guess we haven't got that chat room door figured out just exactly. So hopefully GP can get caught up, or we can figure out what the issue is, and then she doesn't have to be alone in the universe all by herself. But let's get back to some music. Joan Baez.

01:24:59

Thank you.

01:25:00

[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]

01:37:33

Of course, it is Barney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts with 'Life Could Be Worse,' and it could be. Life could get bad. Led Zeppelin, and before that is 'What Is and What Should Never Be.' And we started off with Joan Baez and 'Diamonds and Rust.' We've got about a half hour left in the show, a little less than that, but we're going to get back to some more music. We've got to do a little CanCon here, so let's go to the province of B.C. for this one, shall we?

01:38:00

[Audio not transcribed.]

01:50:11

That's, of course, Train and 'Calling All Angels.' Great tune from what an amazing album that was. We also had Loverboy in there from their first album, 1984. Guessing on that one, of course, it's 'Turn Me Loose.' And Chilliwack, 'Arms of Mary,' started off that set. We got time for a few more songs, but almost time to go.

So we are waiting on a Jay Giles [name spelling uncertain] tune. So we have a potential Jay Giles [name spelling uncertain] tune coming on. Just Oliver. Oh, there he goes. He's got it. But, yeah, so otherwise, let's continue on. Thank you all for tuning in. Hopefully we can figure out what the problem is and why we have two different chat rooms. GP is on my iMac. So, but yeah, let's get back to some music.

01:51:00

[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]

02:01:12

From Fly with the Eagle album, of course, that is Steve Miller Band and 'Wild Mountain Honey.' And then in before that, taking us all the way back to 1971 with the [meaty, beady, big and bouncy, title uncertain] album, of course, The Who. And 'My Generation.' Dire Straits, 'Sultan's A Swing' [title uncertain] started off that set.

I want to thank everybody for tuning in today. We ran a little bit long, but that's okay. We got one more tune coming up, of course. We're going to end the show with Pink Floyd. And thanks, everybody, for tuning in. Happy mental health to you.

But before Pink Floyd, I wanted to play this one for sure, because we are talking about mental health and how it affects you. I know Oliver and I were talking about it last night, and all the people that died because of mental health, and all the big stars. We talked about Bob Welsh [name spelling uncertain] earlier today. And it's just amazing how mental health and music are so entwined with each other. So we're going to play this one here, and then we're going to end the show with Pink Floyd.

Have yourself a good day. Don't forget, we do this again tomorrow, starting at 5 p.m. Mountain Time, running through until 7 o'clock. Have yourselves a very good day.
