ROCK 108 Morning Show - Rusty's Radio Stories / Elton John & Roger Waters

Who used all the Wi-Fi?

Ah, apartment life.

Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.

Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.

Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments, furnished in-unit washer and dryer.

Internet included a great central downtown location, one to five bedroom apartments, and no double occupancy fees.

That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.

Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?

What

about you?

You've had the hell of a career and you've had a lot of opportunities to meet and greet with

those.

Well,

yeah, but selfies in my world are like yesterday.

I mean, they're like brand new, right?

Yeah.

I mean, you couldn't take selfies with

your Instamatic.

Sure.

But you'd have somebody backstage that could take a photo and then say, hey, can we grab a shot together?

You know what they

used to do is they used to bring photographers in to grab pictures and then the record label would send you pictures.

which is so old school now.

It's like, Jesus, you could just take a selfie now.

Yeah.

Um, I look, I think the picture is a better record.

Is it?

Yeah.

I think so.

Look, it's like I got to spend, I don't know, three hours in a studio, mean about four other guys with Elton John.

Oh my God.

That's so cool.

Yeah.

He came to DC.

He invited just the local rock program director.

So there's like four of us.

Yeah.

and the record label guy, and Elton sounded a piano, sang some songs, just, you know, we're all just gathered around the piano like we're in his living room, and then we just chatted for a couple hours.

It was an amazing night, and what a nice guy.

All he wanted to talk about was baseball.

Love's baseball, love's baseball.

His team is the Braves.

Really?

Yeah, yeah.

Interesting.

And to have a selfie, to have a picture of that today would be so cool.

I mean, I just think of all the people I hung out with, it's like that would be so cool to have pictures now.

Did you get an autograph or is that past?

No, you're not supposed to ask.

I didn't want to be the fanboy.

You know, I thought that was kind of going over the line.

Now, that being said, a lot of people did.

Yeah.

I just, that was just, I just thought that was a bit much.

I find that there's a point.

If you're a true fan of the individual, why not?

Right?

You're only got that one shot to do that.

You know, I had mentioned earlier in the show, Bret Hart, who is a wrestler and rowdy Piper were both in the 108 studios in Waterloo.

Yeah.

Okay.

So I'm doing this interview with them.

And then at the end, I'm like, I'm only going to get this one shot.

Might as well get both of these things signed.

I had both of these.

wrestlers from the 80s that were at the top of their game, both champions at one point, why not get

it?

You know, and I'm just the small market guy.

It's not like I'm sitting down having, you know, drinks with Elton John and hanging out.

It's not like, you know, Steven Tyler is just, you know, showing up at my back door and those kind of

things.

I was like,

why not, you know?

Oh, here's what I

just thought of the weirdest, the weirdest interaction that I wish I had a selfie for.

We went to New York, Roger Waters from Pink Floyd released a solo album.

Okay.

So they fly us all into New York to listen to the album and meet Roger.

Roger was not with us.

Roger was in a crow's nest that you had to climb a ladder up to meet him.

And he's he's like holding court up there.

And you got like, you know, 30 seconds, you had to climb up this ladder to kiss the ring of Roger Waters.

Sure.

And that climb back.

It was the most bizarre thing.

It's like, why couldn't he come down and hang with us?

Because he's Roger Waters.

Yes.

He's got to make you make you work for it.

It was the most.

I can't remember.

I say crows nest.

It might have been a flight of stairs, but I think it was a ladder.

Some

reason.

You know, if he was really thinking about it, he would have made you climb the wall.

Boom.

Thank you.

One brick

at a time.

Yeah, there you go.

There it is.

Yes.
