Welcome to the EIB Network.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, thank you, Rush, and good day and Merry Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you.  Same to you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I just wanted to reflect back on your <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=3429\">broadcast yesterday<\/a>, you identified to the audience that Joe Cocker had passed.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yes.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  And so that led me to go out to YouTube and see what was being, you know, I guess memorialized. And I guess something that kind of struck me as kind of a heartfelt kind of situation from it is that Billy Joel had a concert in September and knew that Joe was having problems.  He identified that Joe hadn\u2019t been inducted to the Rock &#8216;n\u2019 Roll Hall of Fame along with, you know, the medical situation that he was in.  And then he immediately went into a heartfelt rendition of With A Little Help From My Friends. And anyway, I just wanted to bring that up.  I thought it was a great interlude from the broadcast yesterday, keep things on the lighter side but still memorialize someone that was pretty good in the music industry.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qrlLsH8FFng\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You like Joe Cocker, then, eh?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Oh, you bet.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  And what was your favorite Joe Cocker song?  By the way, do you know his real name?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I was looking that up and I saw it.  I saw he had a couple of aliases when he was kind of starting up, but then I kind of lost track what his original name was.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I don\u2019t have it off the top of my head here, but I know Joe Cocker is a stage name.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  But what is your favorite Joe Cocker tune?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Delta Lady.  I thought that was &#8212; he had a lot of background vocals and something I thought was kind of from him specifically, so that was kind of nice, but I do like his remakes of other people\u2019s songs \u2019cause he really transitions and transforms them into, you know, his own identity.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_100301\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RIPJoeCocker.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Oh, totally, totally different interpretations of the songs he covered.  With A Little Help From My Friends, it was a Beatles tune, but you wouldn\u2019t know it the way Cocker did it.  But my favorite Joe Cocker song, as I mentioned yesterday, is High Time We Went.  And I\u2019ve looked at all the news stories today, not all of them, but I\u2019ve seen quite a few stories on Joe Cocker\u2019s death and passing, and each of these stories has had Joe Cocker\u2019s five best hits, or Joe Cocker\u2019s 10 best, and not one of \u2019em lists High Time We Went.  (interruption)  What do you mean?  Have you heard of it?  I don\u2019t know.  It was popular.  It was top 10 in Pittsburgh in &#8212; here, let\u2019s play a little. It\u2019s not going to sound nearly as good.  I mean, you need to really hear this through the compeller with a lot of compression, but you\u2019ll get the idea here. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>(playing of song) <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sm_k3oQsIrA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>Can anybody understand what he\u2019s saying here? <\/p>\n<p>(Continued playing of song) <\/p>\n<p>Oh, listen to the piano on this tune, I forget to tell you. <\/p>\n<p>(continued playing of song)<\/p>\n<p>Okay, a little bridge here, Joe Cocker, High Time We Went.  No, keep it up, keep it up,  1971 or so, and they go crazy here with the piano. <\/p>\n<p>(continued playing of song) <\/p>\n<p>Keep it up, keep it up.  One big piano riff coming in, wrap it up. <\/p>\n<p>(continued playing of song) <\/p>\n<p>And so it goes for four minutes and 10 seconds.  Joe Cocker, High Time We Went. <\/p>\n<p>And we will be right back.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Joe Cocker, just to close the loop here, his real name was John Robert Cocker.  Cocker was not a stage name.  Joe was the stage name, and he was named Joe off a childhood game he played when he was growing up called Cowboy Joe, and he was proficient at the game, so he got the name Joe, and his name was already Cocker. <\/p>\n<p>His first stage name was Vance Arnold, and his band was Vance Arnold and the Avengers. But the name Vance Arnold was a combination of Vince Everett &#8212; that was Elvis Presley\u2019s character in Jailhouse Rock.  And Cocker thought it was Vance, not Vince, so that\u2019s where the Vance comes from.  And he loved Eddy Arnold, country singer Eddy Arnold, so he combined Vance and Arnold to get his stage name.<\/p>\n<p>But Joe Cocker, &#8220;Why would you name yourself Cocker?&#8221;  It was his real name; he had no choice.  John Robert Cocker.  Anyway, passed away yesterday at age 70.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Richard, Austin, Texas, I\u2019m glad you called, sir.
