Shelly joins us at the $3 “Nobody’s Perfect” Tier
“Hi everyone, just joined today after listening to the podcast for about 2 months. Going through a major Deep Purple obsession and wanted to talk to other fans and be more involved in this awesome podcast! “
Thanks, Nate! You can call me Shelly. 2 months ago I started doing a deep dive on the band since I only knew three songs so I figured it was time to get to know them properly. I learned that my favorite songs are ones that were never played on the radio. I found your show on YouTube, I spend a lot of time on there searching for interviews of the band. I’ve been insatiable when it comes to learning everything and your podcast has been the most enjoyable aspect of my journey!

John San, what you can La la Janette dance in sand What’s the mystery, my son Gypsy Dan, Caravan Won Tun Wan with your Chinese fan It’s part of history my son
Murder and rape with your power The 10th revolution in far away days It’s come to this A gypsy’s kiss All your power’s gonna fade in the haze
Ya who’ Jumme gae bile ya heed The Senorita said “I’ll drag yer lungs out through yer nose” Space truckers free and high Teamsters get ya by and by That should keep you on your toes
They got a gun at your head But you ain’t necessarily playing their game They can’t resist A Gypsy’s Kiss All that’s needed to drive them insane
John Wayne, The Alamo Crazy Horse, Geronimo I’ll smoke a piece with you Mind, body, heart and soul We got rock and roll And there’s nothing they can do
Hear the small voice of truth Above the shouting despair of the crowd What do you wish A Gypsy’s Kiss Gets you strong for crying out loud

Written on the fourth day in the studio (January 19th).
Recorded on June 16th.
From Roger Glover’s Journal: “So to work and yet another magic day happened. I was tuning up and started doodling on the bass, Steve joined in and made it sound really good. Everyone joined in and it wasn’t long before the semblance of a structure emerged. Within an hour it had turned into a very promising song. I was amazed by the ability of Steve to enhance what he heard. The atmosphere around the writing sessions is perfect; relaxed, calm, exciting, happy. The music is flowing from all of us like it hasn’t done since Machine head, though to me is more reminiscent of Hanwell in ’69. Steve is always deferential and modest, but it really feels like he is totally assimilated into the band. We ended the day feeling exhilarated.”
John Mottola begrudgingly (and mockingly) wiping down acoustic guitar strings after playing sometime in 1996.
Current Playlist Review
This week John had “Loosen My Strings” on his playlist. Nate swaps “A Touch Away” by adding “Loosen My Strings” to his playlist.

While finalizing the arrangement for this song they went out
September 25 they finalize an arrangement for “Wah Wah.” Ian Paice and Roger Glover drive to see a shuttle launch from Cape Canaveral. “… but it is still impressive, lighting up the night sky. Amazing to think of those courageous souls sitting on top of that tower of flame, being blasted off the planet. A bit like one of our gigs.”
I sit here alone I sit here alone I look at the walls Look at the walls Look at the walls I look at the walls
You shouldn’t be out on your own oh no not with a condition like that oh no sir constant care A condition like that a condition so rare a penny for the guy a penny for your thoughts one a penny two a penny penny in your pocket ding dong bell, who can tell Wild Man Fischer got nothing on me
I sit by the water I sit by the water Watch it go by Clouds going by I’m watching the sky
I left my luggage at the station Didn’t know how to say goodbye I walked away from all the fury and the madness and the fury and the madness and the fury and the madness
I smile to myself I smile to myself
You’re on the blind side I’m on the other side now I’m on the outside looking for another side upside down side I’m still lucid I may be crazy but I’m not stupid try to get out the parking lot’s full no matter no matter what’s a man going to do one two buckle my shoe zip my lip
