I don't surf, but I imagine when you're on the top of the wave, you're exhilarated, a little bit scared because you're not really in control of it, but you're just going to ride that wave.

Well, they were both the same band.

So out of all the different bands, that band, Freak Power, seemed to be the one that got in trouble.

Yes, yeah.

That was probably my craziest time.

The Naked Radio Session.

We were just...

We're being worked too hard by the record company.

And it's like, oh, and then you've got to do this radio session.

And then we got to the radio station and there was like an audience of 20 people to do a radio session.

It's like, well, what was the point of this?

You know, we're playing to 20 people.

It's on the radio.

So we just thought we'd liven it up.

We thought if we play naked, then only those 20 people on the radio.

This is before people had little webcams.

So we just thought these 20 people would be enjoying themselves all the more for the fact that the band are totally naked.

It was quite liberating.

If you're playing a guitar, a bass guitar, you kind of got a little bit of a jump on some of the other members of the band.

The next one is Taj Mahal and Satisfied and Tickled Too, which is one of my lesser known choices to some of your listeners.
