It really was, I mean, you guys were a part of it with me when NBC decided to bring the theme back.

And my son, Gibb, who's a great musician and an actor, and he just said, I'm a grandpa, so he calls me Pop-Up.

He said, Pop-Up, I never see you happier than when you're in that studio or when you're on stage.

And we took a 20-year break.

I took a 20-year break from writing music because we were touring all the time.

And then when all the excitement happened with Round Ball Rock, I just said, you know, that's what I love most to write is sports music.

And so I got back in the studio, wrote a bunch of songs, worked with my friend Timothy Hines, who's another great composer.

The Shredded version, all of that is really from Andrew Sinowik.

He's this kid who is really Hendrix reborn.

We just got in there.

None of this could be produced by AI.

A lot of people talk about, oh, music, we can make music with AI.

It's all live musicians.

Just a great drummer, Tim Landers, the great bass player who's also played with Jethro Tull.

And so when you listen to the record, there's a lot of stuff that comes back to my, that quotes a lot of my favorites, which is, you know, Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Rush, you know, all of that stuff.

This is not an album that you can relax to.

This is an album that you guys can pick up your guitars and play to.

Oh, yeah.

Yes, we are.

We'll be on the Today Show on October 21st, the day that the theme comes back.
