Starting point is 00:22:04 By the way, of course, I've got to tell you, I'm going to do this right up until midnight. Everything that happens from here on forward is for and about Martin. I first met him when he was 18 or 19, and he was interning at that radio station called CFNY. The rest of the story I'll tell you as the night goes on. But I also wanted to tell you that the last two hours of my show tonight,
Starting point is 00:22:35 the radio station has allowed me to put them up commercial free. So I want you to stick around and enjoy that for the last two hours. Meanwhile, you're at 94.9 The Rock in the Marston Theatre. 94.9 The Rock presents Today in Rock. On this date, 1969, working at Abbey Road Studios in London, the Beatles recorded Maxwell's Silver Hammer. John Lennon returned to the studio after recovering from a car crash in Scotland, and a bed was installed in the studio for Yoko,
Starting point is 00:23:05 who was pregnant at the time. In 1977, Elvis Costello quit his day job at the Elizabeth Arden Cosmetics to become a full-time musician. In 1978, the Rolling Stones jammed with one of their early idols, Muddy Waters, during a gig in Chicago. I'm Matt Diamond.

And, of course, as we gather together here in the nighttime, Mars Barr sitting on your shoulder, showing a couple of things in your ears, thinking and playing for Martin tonight as we gather. Now, earlier in this week, I had put up some notices on several boards that if anyone had anything they wanted or wished to say, they could send me an email and I will do my damnedest to get it on the radio.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Well, I have to tell you, I have been absolutely swamped. They have come from all corners of North America. They've come from other radio people and other radio stations. They've come from musicians. They've come from fans. They've come from fans. And they've come from many people who knew Martin and worked with him back in the day. So I
Starting point is 00:24:11 will be doing my absolute best to get through everything I possibly can tonight as I read these to you. First up, I'm devastated. I'm encouraging, this is a writer, by the way. His name is Dave Holden.
Starting point is 00:24:28 He lives in Vancouver. Dave Holden writes, I'm devastated, and I'm encouraging people to post a roadshow button on their profile pic on Facebook to show some love. And then he says, are you in? Yes, I am. If you go to my Facebook page, you'll see that roadshow button. And if you don't have a picture, you can copy the one that's

Starting point is 00:30:25 You run for power but still escape For the wind will blow my name across this land In the temple of love you hide to death Believing pain and fear outside But someone did you right For whether I am the tears he cried With a ring on Moses' white eyes Lava's eyes
Starting point is 00:30:57 In the temple of love Shine like thunder In the temple of love Cry like rain In the temple of love Hear my calling In the temple of love Hear my need And the devil in the black dress watches over
Starting point is 00:31:25 My guardian angel walks away Life is short and love is always over In the morning, back when you can't carry me far away When the sunlight died And the night unburned Of me Will I gun for a lover And a shot for the pain inside?
Starting point is 00:31:56 You run for cover in a temple of love You run for another It's all the same For the wind will blow Come throw your walls aside With a fire from the fireworks Up above, with a gun For a lover and a shot for the pain
Starting point is 00:32:12 You run for cover In the temple of love Shine like thunder, cry like rain And the temple of love grows Old and strong, but the wind grows Stronger, cold and long And the temple of love will fall And all this blackness goes old and strong but the wind goes stronger cold and long and it's a fall our world's falling for this
Starting point is 00:32:27 blackbird calls my name so you don't fall And the black sky thunders Weeping underground And the water sounds Of your dying weeping Will not save your face The bricks and dreams The water
Starting point is 00:33:04 Or your prayers must seem as nothing 96 below the wave When stone is dust and only air remains In the temple of war Shine my sunburn In the temple of love That's why I breathe In the temple of love
Starting point is 00:33:31 You call me In the temple of love It's falling down The temple of love I'm a man. No, no, no, no No, no, no, no I am the light I am the light In the temple of love In the temple of love Shine my thunder

Starting point is 00:35:14 Hear my name in the black sky Thunder sweeping underground And oval water sounds A crying weeping Will not save your face For bricks and dreams for water All your prayers must seem as nothing Ninety-six below the wave
Starting point is 00:35:32 When stone is dust and there remains The only haven you can trust And the devil in a black dress Watches over My God, an angel walks away Life is short and love is always over In my mind Black and green come carry me far away
Starting point is 00:35:58 With a fire from the fireworks, stop the love Put a gun for a lover and the shots for a pain You found for a couple in the temple of love The sky lights from the cry like rain In the temple of love, the wind was cold and strong But the wind was strong, the cold and long In the temple of love, with all that all this black wind calls my name See no more We'll fall and fall as black wind blows my name's zero more
Starting point is 00:36:25 We're all together Devil of love Devil of love you hide together Believing pain and fear outside But someone near you hides the weather and the tears He cried with rain on his face on the horses wide and lovers' eyes In the temple of love Shine like sunburn

First of the five, whatever I'm trying to say.
Starting point is 00:50:06 It doesn't really matter. You know what I'm talking about anyway. But I will tell you, if you've just arrived, you've missed some great music.

But I guess what I'll have to do is make it up and play even better music in the next four. This is, of course, Marsden Theater and our tribute to the amazing DJ known as Martin Streak.
Starting point is 00:50:43 As we move through this night, I hope that if you have never met him, if you didn't know him, I hope that by the evening's end, you will feel as though you know him as your best friend. Because in fact, when he was on the radio, that is what he was. Your best friend. As you probably know, I may mention this just as a roundup here. I had put out on several boards this week messages to send along something you felt you wanted to say to Martin, to all of those of us who are his fans. And I got to tell you, I thought I was swamped from all the stuff that came in over the last two or three days. The emails are coming in here at an incredible rate, and I will do my absolute best to get to them before this night is over.
Starting point is 00:51:27 I absolutely will do my best. It's going to be a little tight, but I will do my best. Please be patient with me, okay? It is indeed the Marston Theatre. David Marston here for Martin Street tonight, looking at and remembering so much about what he is and what he will always be in our memories. Music journalist Karen Bliss writes,
Starting point is 00:51:49 I loved bumping into Martin. Sometimes at a crowded concert where you see tons of people you know, you nod or give a slight wave. But when I saw Martin, I'd always go over and say hello. He just had that kind of magnetic personality. He was always so friendly and made you feel so good. It was always great to see him. Those are the words of music journalist Karen Bliss,
Starting point is 00:52:20 who is also a friend of mine, and I know she's very sincere about this. Watch out, it's the war Watch out, it's the war Watch out, it's the war Watch out, it's the war If I said it demanded, I'm not really demanding I'm just saying it's been said again and again. Not that I'm overgrounded. I'm already defounded. I'm a liar. Believe me, baby. Well, it's all that you are. You're just one shining star.
Starting point is 00:53:21 You're just one shining star Well, it's all that you are You're just one shining star Maybe everything changed Maybe I stayed the same What does it matter to me now anyway? If I ever regret it If I've never been to come to sing Then you dance and dance, baby

Have I slipped into some zone that I'm not familiar with?
Starting point is 01:17:42 You are in the Marsden Theater at 94.9 The Rock. And you have joined in this incredibly large wake tonight. Thousands of people at this wake tonight, I'm telling you. And of course, the wake is for the great Martin Streak. We'll keep it going until, oh, I don't know, midnight or so. Right here, and I hope you'll join
Starting point is 01:17:59 me and stay with me. I got all these notes and everything. I want to try and read some of them to you. I just played Tool a little bit ago, so I wanted to read this note here. This is from Steph Quinlan, sometimes known as the 50-foot Queenie. Steph Quinlan writes, I never met Martin Streak, but I'd know his voice anywhere. How many Sunday evenings did I spend at Whiskey Saigon dancing to retro tunes while Martin Streak kept the party going? Too many to count, says Stephanie, Steph, I guess. Those were some of my best memories in my late 20s.
Starting point is 01:18:48 memories in my late 20s. You could tell that Martin was a DJ for the best and purest reasons, because he loved the music with a fierce passion and he wanted to share that love. On August the 5th, I'm seeing Tool live for the first time, something I've wanted to do for years. I know Martin loved Tool. At the show, I'll buy myself a beer and pour some of it on the ground for Martin
Starting point is 01:19:17 so that in some small way he can be there too. Steph Quinlan writes those words. I thank you for them. And, of course, we are here, gathered at the night time for this week, and, of course, it is for Martin Streak. Say hi. Phil Evans gets in touch from out in Vancouver. Phil Evans, you might remember, back in the 80s, he was known as, was it Captain Phil?
Starting point is 01:19:46 I think it was. And he drove, he drove, I don't think he drove. He was the captain of the boat that we used back in the day. And he used to take people out in the water and have a wonderful old time. And, of course, when anybody was appearing at Ontario Place, any of the superstars, they usually spent the afternoon with Captain Phil and some of us from the radio station sailing around in Toronto Harbor. So, Phil, it's good to hear from you. Phil writes, Hi, David.
Starting point is 01:20:17 Listening to your show tonight is like being in Marty's car. Love to you all from Phil Evans. He is now marketing and promotion manager for Virgin Radio Vancouver. Thank you, Phil. Great to hear from you. And of course, as you know, we are indeed celebrating tonight. This is not a sad thing. We are celebrating this man's life. The fact that he is no longer with us is a sad thing. This note comes from Lucas and the Clicks.
Starting point is 01:20:48 You know the band the Clicks. I play a lot of them. And their manager reached out for me this week and said that they had been spending a lot of time with Martin lately. Lucas from the Clicks says, I remember listening to him from as young as 15 when 102.1 was the spirit of radio.
Starting point is 01:21:08 It was one of the first radio stations, if not the first, that brought us music that wasn't in the commercial realm, music that no one else played. And it was, to me, the real beginnings of the indie music movement. Martin Streak was one of those people who was there and part of it all. I still feel his influence to this day,
Starting point is 01:21:37 pushing bands that no one else thought mattered. He obviously saw the future in music. Martin was a part of an era, and an era that I had the privilege of being part of, writes Lucas, and an era that I hope will not end. That comes from Lucas and the Clicks. And here now, from the Marsden Theatre, 94.9 The Rock, to you, Lucas and the Clicks. I'd hoped to turn your world around But you let go, you change your mind It's hard enough to see this through Why can't you look me in the eye? And what did you think I'd turn into?
Starting point is 01:22:54 And what did you think I'd do for you? You caught on my hands to hide the truth and make me the liar inside you. I know we have to burn this down I see we're flying way too high And now I see you're so dangerous You're always trying to take what's mine And what did you think that I would do While you painted red, I painted blue. I cut off my hands to bear the truth.
Starting point is 01:24:13 Forever the liar inside you. I'm not changing for anybody else Cause every time I do It seems I lose myself I'd hoped to turn your world around But you let go, you changed your mind But now I cannot see this through already wasted
Starting point is 01:25:12 too much time and now there is nothing I could do you're still painted red and I'll feel blue too You're still painted red and I'm still blue
Starting point is 01:25:28 I'm keeping my hands That's what I'll do I'll show you the liar I'll show you the liar
Starting point is 01:25:46 Inside you Inside you Inside you Inside you Thank you. We'll be right back.

And if you have friends who have moved somewhere else, you really should get in touch with them now, no matter where it is in the world they are, and tell them to put it on. Until midnight tonight, I am doing a tribute to the great DJ named Martin Streak. He was a friend of mine.
Starting point is 01:43:24 I got a note here from Sudeep K who says, I'm not sure I have anything but music to share. He was always the words. I just played the tunes in the background. That comes
Starting point is 01:43:40 from Sudeep. He says, one love to everybody. And then he says, have five fun hours on the radio. Martin would want you to enjoy that. And believe it, as difficult as this is, I am enjoying every second of it, I'm telling you. Thank you, Sue Deep Kay. Sue Deep Kay, I believe, was one of Martin's producers on the radio. So that's good to hear from you.
Starting point is 01:44:08 And I know Sudeep, and he's a great guy and very sincere. Hi to Chris Herman tonight, who writes, I knew Martin since the 90s. He was an epic force behind the mic in the studio and at the DJ booth. He was also a fantastic presence to be around. DJ booth. He was also a fantastic presence to be around. I've gotten to know several past on-air personalities
Starting point is 01:44:28 at that station since the 90s, but none had the oomph that poured out of Martin. Miss you, Marty. Thank you, Chris. Chris has also asked if I could play something.
Starting point is 01:44:43 I'm not going to guarantee on request, but I will do my best because I know what it means to you, and it means to me, and it means to all of us here in the Marsden Theatre. I'm David Marsden, and you're in the Marsden Theatre. I want to mention MarsdenGlobal.com. I usually tell you more, but we're in something else today. But I do want to mention, coming up next week, next Thursday and Friday, a very special and very exciting thing is going to take place right there at MarstonGlobal.com. I can't tell you about it yet.
Starting point is 01:45:16 I can't tell you about it just now, but come with me here next Thursday. That's a week from tonight. And I know you're going to be pleased. I know you're going to be happy. It's something very cool that's happening at MarsdenGlobal.com. That'll be next Thursday. I mentioned earlier tonight
Starting point is 01:45:33 that I think I've known Martin since he was about 18 or 19. And I first met him because he was working, like interning kind of thing, with Earl Jive, doing clubs and that kind of stuff with Earl Jive doing clubs and that kind of stuff that Jiver did
Starting point is 01:45:48 back in the day. Jive stepped into my little office one day and he said, you really should talk to this guy. What's his name? I said. They said his name's Martin Streak. Earl and Beverly were there and they said he's a pretty cool guy and he's really, really incredible
Starting point is 01:46:04 with energy and everything. So I did in fact meet with Martin Streak later that same day. I don't remember actually. A couple of weeks ago yes, I did actually hire him.
Starting point is 01:46:20 He had to become part of the video road show for CFNY. And what a job he did. A couple of weeks ago, I was at the Andy Pool Hall, and Kevin O'Leary was celebrating his 50th birthday. And a whole lot of people from the old days of the spirit of radio all rolled into the club.
Starting point is 01:46:43 And one of the people who rolled into the club that day was Martin Streak. He came up to me and he said, I've just been dumped from that radio station. And I was kind of shocked because Martin was the last guy of the originals on the air at that radio station. And he said to me, he said, I'm a little worried. And I said, why?
Starting point is 01:47:16 And he said, the only job interview I've ever done in my whole life, I did with you. Martin Streak. What a guy. 94.9 The Rock. David Marsden and you.

The Dead Come Home David Marsden, 94.9 The Rock. I'm here doing... Tonight's show is being done for Martin Streak. If you haven't been to the Martin Streak RIP Facebook page, I recommend you go there.
Starting point is 02:08:44 There's just so many things. I'm trying to get to some of the messages tonight, but there's just so much there and so many memories and so many thoughts and so many people expressing. When I last looked, there were over 14,000
Starting point is 02:09:01 people registered for the Facebook page Martin Streak RIP. And, of course, we're working our way through some of the music that Martin loved. And we know that among his top three, definitely would have been The Clash and Strummer. And I want to just thank everybody for this. The stuff that's coming in is so wonderful. I could almost turn this into a talk show, but that wouldn't be fair. But there's just so much coming in that seems to matter.
Starting point is 02:09:34 In fact, I know it matters. It's just not even a question. Not even a question about it. I have a note here from Gene Valaitis. Gene Valaitis. Do you remember Gene? Jesse and Gene. Gene Valaitis. Gene Valaitis, do you remember Gene? Jesse and Gene. Gene Valaitis, I believe he's in California.
Starting point is 02:09:50 And he sent me this note. Martin's death should be a lesson to those who now run broadcasting, the accountants. I have to insert here, Gene, really, that where I happen to be right now at the Rock 94.9, I have the good fortune that that is not the case. I get to do as I please. I get to play as I please. And I get to do what we want to do together. That's you and I. And that's pretty cool. I'm going into my seventh year here now. Isn't that amazing? Anyway, Gene carries on. Accountants know a lot about numbers. Accountants know the cost of everything, but the value of nothing. Behind each number,
Starting point is 02:10:37 the accountant's crunch, there is a face, a life, a heartbeat, and a passion for this industry and the music. Martin brought an intangible to broadcasting that does not appear on any button or calculator of any Excel spreadsheet. In the case of Martin, the number the accountants crunched was a number they finally crunched to death. Rest in peace and creativity, Martin. Signed, Gene Velitis. Thank you, Gene. Good to hear from you. Hope you are well out there. I don't know, actually, I'm not sure, but I think he's in California.
Starting point is 02:11:24 And I say hi to you You're with David Marsden 94.9 The Rock of course My tribute to my friend and colleague Martin Streak is what we're listening to I should mention the last two hours
Starting point is 02:11:40 of the show tonight this company that I work for called The Rock 94.9 have been kind enough hours of the show tonight. This company that I work for, called The Rock 94, nine, have been kind enough to give me two hours commercial free, so we're heading up to that. It'll go from 10 until midnight. Say hi tonight to all of those of you who have joined us
Starting point is 02:11:57 at Jive Radio. Just a minute, I got a note. It isn't a note, it's somebody on the Mars Bar Theatre chat room mentioned that RadioJive.com is also carrying the show tonight. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. They're out of Hollywood, California, so I say hi to you there at RadioJive.com.
Starting point is 02:12:20 And thank you so much for joining us here as we have our thanks, Earl. I appreciate that. And yes, of course, that is the very famous Earl Jive that I'm thanking there. We all know him, we love him, and he and I have been chatting a lot lately about doing some stuff, so it's pretty cool to have it happening for you here at the nighttime.
Starting point is 02:12:40 94.9 The Rock, of course, our location. You can get us apparently at RadioJive.com, MarsdenGlobal.com, and TheRock.fm. If one of those sites gets overloaded, just switch to another one because I know people are coming in from everywhere. It's pretty amazing. And we're all doing this tonight together. For a man named Martin Streak.
Starting point is 02:13:06 Jim Wilkes writes, I did not personally know Martin Streak. Like most, he was someone I enjoyed and only knew over the year. But he was in that line of DJs that influenced my musical tastes and of whom I actually made time out of my day and night to listen. People such as Tom Rivers, Gruff Connors, Steve Anthony, Earl Jive, Martin Streak, and myself, apparently, in my 94-9 days. James Wilkes says that he was too young for my Chum FM days actually so was I James goes on to say
Starting point is 02:13:56 James Wilkes says I think in the end there's two relevant points and he makes them this way it's a rare opportunity to bring joy to people who will probably never see or meet or know. That should be treasured. His second point.
Starting point is 02:14:17 At our lowest, there are always people who can be there for you. It's too bad he cannot see the outpouring of emotion. From this, maybe he would have reconsidered. I don't know. I profess not to have ever understood
Starting point is 02:14:36 what drives a person to that point. The words of James Wilkes tonight, David Marsden in the Marsden Theater at 94.9 The Rock, playing it all tonight for Martin Streak. សូវាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប� Thank you.

Starting point is 02:37:28 when I pay tribute to my friend and colleague Martin Streak. If you've just joined us, you've missed a lot of stuff that was pretty good. Actually, a lot of stuff that was really good. I want to say hi to Julie, sometimes known to her friends
Starting point is 02:37:44 as Jules. Jules sent a note, says, I'm listening and wanted to thank you for the tribute. Don't have to thank me. There's something interesting about this tribute that I'm doing for Martin tonight. What's interesting about it is that I wish I didn't have to do it. What's interesting about it is that I wish I didn't have to do it. Jules goes on to say, I didn't know Martin as he's known now. I didn't know him as a radio personality, although I listened to him.
Starting point is 02:38:26 She says, I just thought of him, and I will remember him always as Martin Streak, the kid from Mississauga. There was a sweet, funny guy. And truly one of the nicest people I hung with in my teens. He's in our hearts forever. Thank you, Jules. Marsden here with you in the nighttime. Wherever it is you are tonight, I say hello to you. I salute you, and I thank you for being here.
Starting point is 02:38:53 We're coming at you from three directions tonight. Of course, the rock.fm, streaming around the world. The traditional radio way at 94.9. Also from marsdenglobal.com. And simulcasting, thank you, out of Hollywood on RadioChive.com. There's no excuses now for missing this one, you know. Martin's watching you. Be careful.
Starting point is 02:39:24 94.9 The Rock, David Marsden with you. We are all together here in the Marsston Theatre and I have to tell you we are jammed up there are just people everywhere you see that's the thing Martin knew what it was like to sit in this chair
Starting point is 02:39:39 Martin knew the incredible strength and energy that you get when you sit in this chair and it comes from out there but I gotta tell ya if he had known how much energy was coming in tonight
Starting point is 02:40:02 how much people loved Martin Streeck. He'd still be here. I have a nice note. This one has to go anonymous for a reason which I know of. So we're going to run it up anonymous. But I really thought it was a nice note. From anonymous. I went to high school with Marty. but I really thought it was a nice note. From Anonymous.
Starting point is 02:40:27 I went to high school with Marty. Arendale Secondary School in Mississauga. Remember, somebody else just was remembering that, too. That was Jules. He was a total goof. Not one of the jocks or cool guys, that's for sure. A little surprise for you. Me too.
Starting point is 02:40:51 Actually, most of us who get behind this microphone probably were goofs in high school. Those of us who hung out with him liked him a lot, writes Anonymous. By the way, I know who this is, really. She just has to be anonymous for, well, for reasons that I know. He had a crazy sense of humor. He wasn't interested in being popular, though he did have a very cute girlfriend. He was his own person during our school production
Starting point is 02:41:25 of Music Man this is you gotta listen to this part this is cute during our school production of Music Man see I know what's coming you don't
Starting point is 02:41:41 so hang in for it Marty what's coming you don't hang in Marty went around the cafetorium taking up a collection for a jockstrap for a certain theater, I'll refrain from naming. Why would he want to take up a collection to buy a jockstrap for someone on stage? Well, here's the answer. Because that actor would get a boner every time he had to kiss the girl who played Marion, the librarian. I thought that was a funny story. But I want to finish this note off because it's so nice.
Starting point is 02:42:34 Such a humanitarian streak. We all listened to CFNY back then, the spirit of radio. She did say back then. of radio. She did say back then, Marty told us that one day he was going to be a DJ and that he was going to be a DJ on CFNY. Not any other station, no. Anonymous writes, it had to be CFNY. And he, Marty Streak, was going to be a big famous DJ on the station we all listened to and loved. Anonymous carries on and says, everybody said, yeah, right, Marty. And I'm going to be a movie star. Yeah, right, Marty. And I'm going to be a movie star. Yeah, right, Marty, and I'm going to be an astronaut.
Starting point is 02:43:33 Not in a million years would anyone in our gang have voted Marty as the guy who would end up doing exactly what he said he was going to do after high school. But he was the one who did it. but he was the one who did it. This scrawny, long-haired, weird little... Starts with an F. Actually laid out his life plan and followed it to the letter. Can't say I know anyone else, anonymous rights herself included,
Starting point is 02:44:04 who could claim the same. Being a DJ on CFNY was Marty's life dream. And he lived the dream for 25 years. Peace to you, Marty, says Anonymous, and love to his family and his friends. You're with David Marsden at 94.9 The Rock. A tribute to Marty. Oh, my God. The Crow has brought the message To the children of the sun For the return of the buffalo Thank you. I'm not believing in your God And some world down below You don't stand a chance

Starting point is 03:09:51 David Marsden with you. You're in the Marsden Theatre. We're here every Thursday and Friday night, of course. If you're brand new to the theatre, say hi to the folks in Calgary. Thank you for the comment. I appreciate that. Craig delivered it on to me on the Mars Bar Theater chat room. If you'd like to be in there, lots of folks are in there tonight talking about Martin and things.
Starting point is 03:10:18 You can go to MarsdenGlobal.com and click on the icon that says Mars Bar Theater chat room. That'll take you in there. And if you're thinking about all this music that we play, every Thursday and Friday after I finish the show, Ralph and his cohort soccer fan in St. Catherine's at Miss Parker in Florida, they print out all of the songs I play. They keep track. I don't have a playlist, so they keep track as I go along. And within about 24 hours of each show ending uh
Starting point is 03:10:46 they put it up on the blog spot it's ralph's blog spot and you can link to it direct from marsden global.com i have a note uh by the way you're at 94.9 the rock and i welcome everybody who's come in also at radiojive.com out of holly. Good to have you along with us tonight. I got a couple notes here I want to read to you. This is from Paul, Paul Dingra, who writes, Hi, David. We've never met, but I feel I know you. I listen to you as an impressionable youth. Was I the impressionable youth or was that you?
Starting point is 03:11:22 No, that would have been you, yes, of course. And then I went on to work at that station. It's funny, everybody's calling it that station. I wrote that somewhere. I don't know whether, I have done probably a dozen interviews this past week and these are not interviews about me, thank goodness gracious,
Starting point is 03:11:44 nor is this show about me this is about our friend our colleague Martin Stryk to go on Paul writes that he worked at that station from 89 to 99 that's 10 years for heaven's sakes holy smack that was just about you came in just as I was going out the door, I think. Yeah, because I think I left around 89. I can't remember. Mark and I quickly became friends, writes Paul. And we began working together at the Phoenix on Saturdays in, I think he says, he thinks it was 91.
Starting point is 03:12:23 We continued to work together for years. At one point, we were doing six nights a week in various clubs and live-to-air events. Paul continues to write, but more than that, far more, Martin and I were close. We hung out every day. We went to parties. We rolled at raves. We hung out every day. We went to parties. We rolled at raves. We jumped out of planes together. We watched Seinfeld, and man, did we laugh.
Starting point is 03:12:56 Paul says, I am sad. I miss Martin. I've not much more to say at this time, but I wanted to let you know. Thank you, Paul. Great and beautiful words. I just have to, I want to read you something else, but I got to have a little drink.
Starting point is 03:13:19 There. This comes from John Massacar. And John worked at that station. John worked at the Spirit of Radio in 1985 to 1991. And I knew John. I still know him very well. He's a writer and a producer. And just a tremendously talented guy, by the way.
Starting point is 03:13:41 John Massacar writes the following note. He says, I only knew Martin in the way. John Mazzucar writes the following note. He says, I only knew Martin in the workplace. CFNY 85 to 91. But I have three, that's three, very distinct memories of him.
Starting point is 03:13:58 The first was at a U2 show at the old C&E Stadium. It was a very cold night. October 03, 1987. On the North American leg of their Joshua Tree Tour, Martin and a friend were seated in front of us. Actually, seated is a misnomer. No one sat for that show. Despite being outdoors, down by Lake Ontario in October, the energy was tangible. Martin sang at the top of his lungs for the entire show.
Starting point is 03:14:33 The sheer ecstasy he felt, being in that place at that very special moment, was evident to everyone around him. My second recollection is one that will never fail to amuse me. And that was when I was producing a commercial written by, I believe, Norm Spencer,
Starting point is 03:15:01 writes John Massachar, based on the TV show Green Acres, I was told that Martin could mimic the voice of every character on the show. I recall there were six different character voices in that script, and Martin nailed every single one of them. That is talent, writes John Massacre, who knows talent, by the way, I might add. And his third memory is of walking into the Master Control at CFNY late one afternoon.
Starting point is 03:15:41 The song playing was James Brown's Living in America a 12 inch vinyl remix he being Martin wasn't on the air that afternoon but there in the middle of the control room was Martin
Starting point is 03:15:59 dancing with abandon wild abandon his long hair flailing wildly totally lost in the music dancing with abandon, wild abandon, his long hair flailing wildly, totally lost in the music. Lost is probably not the right word, writes John Massacre.
Starting point is 03:16:20 I would better to say that he was totally found in the music. That would be more accurate. Get out of your chair now. Rise up. Find yourself all alone, wherever it is you are. And let's dance with Wild Abandoned. knock it out yeah super highways
Starting point is 03:17:17 coast to coast easy to get anywhere on the trans-modernism Overload Just fly behind the wheel How does it feel When there's no destination

Countries are fighting in chemical war. They're not giving a damn about the people who live there. Not just dumb and speedy, they're coming on the anti-pass. Thank you. The KGB is smarter than you think. Gray watch mentalities to control the system.

Starting point is 03:33:04 The human race is becoming a disgrace. Nationalities are fighting with each other. Why is this? Because the system tells you. People in racist categories. Knowledge isn't what it used to be. Mania can be tactics to control a nation. Who wants to be a president or king?
Starting point is 03:33:29 But the nation is going to walk against you. Nothing in your power that you can't do. Yes, the world is headed for destruction. You and I know it. The Bible tells you.

Starting point is 03:36:01 My tribute, our tribute together for Martin Streak, of course, tonight. And what a four hours it's been so far, I can tell you. 94.9 to Rock, by the way, is where you'll find it. I'm here every Thursday and Friday night, of course, as everybody knows.
Starting point is 03:36:21 And we have a pretty good time here Thursdays and Friday nights. Mars Bar Theater chat room open. If you'd like to get there, you can go to MarsdenGlobal.com, but somebody just sent me a note, and MarsdenGlobal.com has reached whatever, I don't know, what do they call that? It's maximum?
Starting point is 03:36:38 I don't know why. But just keep trying. It'll come back for you, okay? MarsdenGlobal.com is where you find a lot of things. And, of course, there's a posting board inside there where you can post stuff to get yourself going, whatever you want. If you want to post some thoughts to Martin as well, and I know I'm not going to get through everything tonight, so I'm going to keep going. Lee Rufong says, from all of us out there on the web waves, the living need to say goodbye. And we are indeed saying goodbye tonight.
Starting point is 03:37:11 But this is not really the final goodbye. This is au revoir. Lee writes that he has seen this response before and he has gone through it. And he says still tears to the heart, though. Thank you, Leroy. Good to hear from you as well. I have a note. This one comes from someone who worked at CFNY back in the day when it mattered.
Starting point is 03:37:42 This is from James Uftonon who worked there as an intern inside the music department and indeed is a close friend of mine I have to tell you that James writes sometime last year actually I talked to James last night on the telephone and he told me this story and I said write it down
Starting point is 03:37:59 it might be read it's better left said sometime last year I got on the young subway line It might be red. It's better left said. Sometime last year, I got on the Yonge subway line and took my usual spot standing opposite the entrance doors. James says, standing there next to me was Martin. I hadn't seen him since at least the 1982 Casby Awards or maybe even the days when we were both doing the intern thing at the Spirit of Radio.
Starting point is 03:38:31 Martin lowered his glasses and said my name. We had a glorious chat, and I was pleased to see he was still beaming with energy and enthusiasm for life and his love of music. still beaming with energy and enthusiasm for life and his love of music. It was as though no time had passed between us. I will always remember Marty bouncing up and down and about between stacks of records and milk crates, the turntables, the super beta video decks,
Starting point is 03:39:01 and other assorted gear that made up the heart of the video roadshow. Undoubtedly, he was playing the cult or tones on tail at the time. Thanks, Martin. That's from James Ufton. And if you don't mind, I got to... I don't have commercials, so we're just winging this thing.
Starting point is 03:39:24 I have one thing I want to read now. This comes from Gordon Dupey and all of the spoons. Gordon writes, like many of you, I'm feeling a little numb right now. I saw Martin last September at the Velvet Underground. It was the first time in many years, but we were soon laughing and reminiscing about the old days. Stories from the spirit of radio era, like those wild CFNY cruises.
Starting point is 03:40:01 Remember we talked about those earlier with Captain Phil? Those cruises around Toronto Island each summer. Unforgettable days. Gordon Depp continues. How things change in the blink of an eye. I was a guest on his Sunday 80s program that September night, and I'm glad to have had that time together to touch base, to catch up now on how our worlds had changed since the 80s.
Starting point is 03:40:35 I spoke with Martin one more time after that. Ironically, he called me when Frankie, a teenage head, put on his wings. We were both feeling a little numb that day, too. Good night, Martin. Gordon Depp says, May your sleep, may you sleep in your Nova heart at ease with the thoughts that this Nova won't burn out. Those words from Gordon De Depot and the Spoons here tonight
Starting point is 03:41:06 in the Marsden Theatre, 94.9 The Rock. It's not a fumbling of perfume From a girl you knew long ago From a girl you knew long ago On a holiday weekend And you know That you're there once more in some forgotten story From your private library of things That you remember
Starting point is 03:42:27 Then it comes back again Those old emotions And it brings back And it brings back Those old emotions of old emotion There's a taste in the sea air And the gulls cry overhead You walk and take in the wet sand And you know
Starting point is 03:43:17 That you're there once more In some forgotten story From your private library Of things That you remember Then it comes back again Those old emotions And it brings back
Starting point is 03:43:50 And it brings back Those old emotions guitar solo Then it comes back again Those old emotions And it comes back again, those old emotions. And it brings back, and it brings back, those old emotions. Then it comes back again. Then it comes back again, those old emotions. Welcome to the Marsden Theatre. So just in case you've forgotten, this is what live radio looks like.

Starting point is 03:49:29 Let me see you straight down to the bone Let me see you straight down To the bone Let me See you Straight down To the bone Thank you. I've gone a hill As the day dissolves With my pencil turning moments into lines I abound
Starting point is 03:51:34 In the violet sky A silent silver plane It draws a golden chain One by one All the stars appear As the great winds of the planet spiral in Spinning away Like the night sky at all
Starting point is 03:52:13 It's a million insect storm The constellations fall On a hill Of the raven sky I have no idea exactly what I've drawn Some kind of change Some kind of change, some kind of spitting away, with every single line moving further out in time. Thank you. In the star The moon In the pale blue light

Starting point is 03:55:17 In the stars In the stars I know In the sky I fall And the fall will shine In the sky Oh, oh, deep water Black and cold like the night I stand with arms wide open I've run a twisted mind
Starting point is 03:56:22 I'm a stranger In the eyes Of the maker I could not see For the fog in my eyes. I could not feel for the fear in my life. And from across the great divide In the distance I saw a light Jean Baptiste
Starting point is 03:57:16 Walking to me with the maker My body Is bent and broken By long And dangerous Leaves I can't work the fields of Abraham And turn my head away I'm not a stranger
Starting point is 03:57:59 In the hands of the maker Brother John Have you seen the homeless daughters Standing there With broken wings I have seen The flaming swords There over east of Eden Burning in the eyes of the maker
Starting point is 03:58:55 Burning in the eyes of the maker. Burning in the eyes of the maker. Oh, river, I see you from your sleep We'll be right back. I knew I was broken But I was still hoping I knew I was praying That you were still waiting it all up now But I knew there was no hope at all For a fool like me Baby But all for a fool like me Baby
Starting point is 04:00:26 I wish you were staying But you're not And you're all I've got I am Sticking to the city Wondering how I can Stick in to the city But I can't So I'm headed out to the coast
Starting point is 04:01:07 For a ride on the ocean wave Baby I wish you were still here But you're not And you're all I've done We'll see you next time. Believe in Surf City. I love you, little surf city Surf city, you know who that is. I won't even tell you because, well, you just know, and you know I played it, of course.
Starting point is 04:02:41 And you are here in the nighttime at 94.9 The Rock. David Marston, the Marston Theater, of course, as we do it every Thursday and Friday night, 7 until midnight. And this night, of course, I think everybody knows, we have jammed up a lot of websites tonight, and that's pretty cool. Actually, we jammed up one of them, which was mine, which is marstonglobal.com. You might want to try again.
Starting point is 04:03:03 If you couldn't get in earlier, we were just, apparently the servers were loaded. I didn't actually know the servers could get loaded. I thought I had a big server, but what the heck. Blair Taylor sends along a note. I'm amazed, you know, I've got to tell you, so many people have sent in emails from people who went to school with Martin. Blair Taylor was one of them.
Starting point is 04:03:26 He writes, one of my favorite memories of Marty was at Arendale High School around 1981, 82. He wanted to cut his long hair and get a mohawk. So he decided to collect a nickel from as many people as he could in the school to help pay for it. Hilarious, writes Blair. Another memory is that of the same era at a teenage head concert at Arendelle.
Starting point is 04:03:59 Marty was up front row center, jumping up and down nonstop through the entire show. So much energy. May he and Frankie Venom both are IP. Sharon McDonald writes, When I found out that Martin wasn't with us any longer, I felt like I had lost a friend. Some people find this strange because he was, quote, just a DJ whom I had never actually met.
Starting point is 04:04:26 I myself was a bit surprised at first by how sad the news made me. But then I realized that Martin's voice had been heavily incorporated into the soundtrack of my life. His exquisite taste and knowledge of music has greatly influenced that soundtrack and has wicked, and his wicked sense of humor added quite a few giggles as well.
Starting point is 04:04:53 Sharon goes on to say he's the coolest angel up there. And I wonder what he's kicking off the set with tonight. Got it? Get it? Good. Cheers, Sharon. Thank you. And I want to do one more here because it's running late and I've got to cut.
Starting point is 04:05:15 This one is from somebody we all know, Scott Turner, of course, one of the great members of the CFNY team and just an all-around great fellow, by the way. He's living up Kitchener Way these days. He sent me this, and I'm just going to read it exactly as he said it. Streaming this from my mind to yours, says Scott Turner, I met new and shared life with Martin mostly through the 80s,
Starting point is 04:05:44 the very early days of 102.1, a very special time at CFNY, the Spirit of Radio. Yes, it was, actually. It was a very special time for those of us who were there on the team and for everybody who was tuning in every day. What a time. I've got to tell you, I'm going to break away from Scott's. What a time. When we were, I got to tell you, I'm going to break away from Scott's note for a minute.
Starting point is 04:06:08 I got to tell you that when we were doing it, when we were putting it together every day, 24-7, nonstop, 365 days of the year, we were really having fun. It didn't occur to any of us, I don't think, what it would be like 20 some odd years later. And for that, I personally, along with I'm sure the rest of that great team, thank you. Carrying on with Scott Turner quickly.
Starting point is 04:06:43 Many memories, but here's one that comes to mind the most. I knew Martin first and foremost through the extremely successful Video Roadshow, a fantastic promotional concert machine that was on the road to universities, colleges, and nightclubs throughout Ontario. At its peak, and these are true words I can tell you, I should tell you how this all started before I go on with Scott's note. We were in the little yellow house with that radio station
Starting point is 04:07:12 called CFNY, and the whole thing had gone into receivership because the owners had gotten into some legal problems, so the CRTC took the license away. And we were all sitting there in that little yellow house, and we didn't have any money to keep the radio station going. And if something broke down, we just scotch-taped it back together and did the best we could to keep the sound going.
Starting point is 04:07:42 And one day, Ivor Hamilton walked over to me. I was kind of, I wasn't in charge yet, but I was kind of, somebody had to do it, so I took the initiative, I guess. Ivor walked in, and he said, I've got a great idea. You know, we all, all the DJs, they did some money because we had to live. We had to eat and buy food and stuff like that.
Starting point is 04:08:05 And I said, great, Ivor, what's the idea? And he says, you remember back in the day they used to do like sock hops and guys would go into high schools and play music, play DJ music. I said, yeah, I remember that very well. I was one of those guys. And he said, why don't we do that? We can make some money and at least eat for a while until somebody buys this radio station.
Starting point is 04:08:27 And that was the beginning of what became known as the CFNY Video Roadshow. Scott Turner goes on to say, it was playing three to five nights a week, attended by thousands, and at one point took residence at the Kingswood Music Theater where this traveling concert event, just the roadshow, no bands,
Starting point is 04:08:50 just the roadshow and the music and the personalities. 15,000 people showed up that one night. It was a pretty big thrill. Scott Turner's favorite memory of Martin Streak is this. Martin, along with Ivor Hamilton, orchestrated and championed the CFNY Roadshow, a roving music messenger for those, of whom there were many, connected to music beyond the everyday.
Starting point is 04:09:24 This was a culture within itself. I will tell you also, the roadshow was getting really big. We used to do it out of a van, and it was getting really big. And we had to buy, I don't know, it was a five or a ten ton truck. It was a huge, monstrous thing,
Starting point is 04:09:41 but to drive it, you had to have like a special truck driver's license. Martin, I don't even think he had his regular license, stepped up and said, I'll drive it. But, Martin, you don't have a license. Martin said, I'll get one. And I said, yeah, but the truck's arriving in a few weeks, and we've got all these gigs booked for high schools and everything.
Starting point is 04:10:08 He said, don't worry about it. He smiled that Martin smile, left my office, and in time for us to do the first show from our big, massive truck, Martin arrived with license in hand, our big massive truck. Martin arrived with license in hand and he became the head driver of that big old truck that hauled the road show around.
Starting point is 04:10:32 Scott says, Scott Turner says, on a more personal level, I had so many good times and simple pure fun with Martin that I can't begin to explain an incredible spirit and energy and fun and a funny guy. that I can't begin to explain, an incredible spirit and energy,
Starting point is 04:10:48 and fun, and a funny guy. Never, never, ever down, ever. Always, always fun to be around. He was one of those guys you just love to see and hang with, always. Scott Turner says, Good night, dear Martin Streep. Good night. Good night.

And we're coming up to the backside of this event. I did want to tell you, I got literally, I don't know, I did want to tell you, I got literally, I don't know, it's the number of emails
Starting point is 04:34:27 and the number of things that have come in are just, I just can't possibly get them all on the radio tonight. Gosh, I wish I could. I just really want to tell you that I am going to print all
Starting point is 04:34:43 of these, all of the emails that came in on my various addresses and I'm going to have them all printed and on Saturday of this week I will be joining some other close friends
Starting point is 04:35:01 of Martin's including his family his mom Grace who he loves so much other close friends of Martin's, including his family, his mom, Grace, who he loves so much, and his brothers, Robbie and Lance. I will take these along with me if you don't mind. If you mind, send me a note and tell me.
Starting point is 04:35:21 That'll poke you in the nose. and that'll poke you in the nose. I've had an incredible four days since all of this began. And as I was putting things together for tonight, all kinds of memories, all kinds of thoughts, all kinds of things kept spinning through my brain. I was finding it very difficult. And I've got to tell you, I started the show off tonight by saying that it was going to be a very hard thing for me to do.
Starting point is 04:36:01 You, with your energy and your feedback, have allowed me to do the show without the fear that I did have when I started. I wasn't sure I could get through. Thank you for letting me and helping me get through. I appreciate that very much. I want to say hi to Michelle Cote. Michelle worked with Martin at that radio station.
Starting point is 04:36:31 She said that he was her favorite person there. This was when it was on Yonge Street there, on the studio on Yonge Street. And I worked at a street-level studio when I first started, and there was one evening that a friend came to visit him.
Starting point is 04:36:50 She brought him a picnic dinner of swordfish, gourmet salads, and Italian bread with oil and vinegar. Martin set me up with them at the table, insisted that I be part of the meal. I was treated as an equal from day one and never forgot that. Even after I left, he always remembered me and asked about things and how I was going. That sums up Martin Street. But one other thing sums him up too,
Starting point is 04:37:23 and this has repeated itself over and over and over and over through emails and people talking to me. Today I came into the station and one of Martin's high school buddies who works here, Pete Walker, started to tell me a story. And the story that he told led to the very thing that so many others have said. You can be a friend of Martin Streaks, and you may not see him for a year. You may not see him for five years. You may not see him for ten.
Starting point is 04:38:01 I remember when we were all at the Andy Poole Hall, John Burns was there, and he and Marty were having a wonderful time, and he came over afterwards, and he said the same thing to me. And I have heard this repeated over and over and over. It didn't matter how long you'd been away from Martin's eyes. When you bumped into him again, within seconds, it was as though no time had passed.
Starting point is 04:38:32 That was the magic of Martin Streak. I'm David Marsden. Thank you so much for being part of this. And please tell your friends about a guy who was a friend and a colleague. His name was Martin Streak. Stay curious, and good night. In my hand, a legacy of memories I can hear you saying my name
Starting point is 04:39:59 I can almost see your smile Feel the warmth of your embrace There is nothing but silence now Around the one I love Is this our farewell? Sweet hearted You're way too much A child
Starting point is 04:40:52 See the sadness in your eyes You are not alone In your eyes Although you might think You are not alone in life Although you might think that you are Every thought this day would come so soon We had no time to say goodbye How can the world just carry on? I feel so lost, we are not at my sight
Starting point is 04:41:47 There is nothing but silence now Around the world I love I love Is this a heart farewell? Sweet honey, you wait too much You had my chances and the sin in your eyes You are not alone in life No human being that you guitar solo So sorry your world is tumbling down I'm watching you this night
Starting point is 04:43:36 Lash your head and go to sleep This is not our farewell Heya! Applause for Heya! Thank you! Locked and cranked.
