[Instrumental Intro]
[Charlie Van Dyke]
Take a bit of sophistication, add a dash of suppressed anger, and mix it all with just the right amount of funk. Smell good? You bet. It's the FM underground audience.
[Rob Reiner]
In high school, uh, we used to make fun of Albert for—for listening to FM radio because we thought it was a, uh, a sissy thing to do.
[Van Dyke]
Childhood friend Rob Reiner.
[Reiner]
No, no, no, no, d-don't—don't come back to me, that's—that's all I have to say about it.
[Albert Brooks]
The cuts that seem to get played most on FM underground or the progressive FM stations are the longer ones: freeform kind of cuts where musicians get together and—and jam. I'm not a musician, but why should I be lеft out of this? Why should I—my nose be pressеd against the glass? So, one day, I was getting some air put in my bicycle tires, and I realized I can get play on these stations. I just have to find somebody heavy to jam with.
[Van Dyke]
Blues king Albert King.
[Albert King]
Yes, uh, Albert called me one night and asked me, "Would I jam with him?" and I said, "Hey, man, it'd be my pleasure." I was tickled blue, man, I didn't know what to think!
