Listener comments!

9:06am 1whoknewcthulhu:

Good morning, Bob. Thanks for a nice, mellow Saturday start with PWC's "Icarus."

9:10am SmokinJ:

Guten Morgen bb!

9:13am SmokinJ:

God Bless Cheap Trick!

🥁 ♥ 9:24am David in ATL from NJ:

Good morning, Bob and fellow listeners!

9:25am SmokinJ:

Nice shit from Mr. Ray Mason!

🥁 ♥ 9:30am David in ATL from NJ:

Wouldn't a Froggy's Favorites Volume Two be nice?

9:38am BEAVO:

Nouin

9:40am Listener Robert:

Irwin Chusid's opening theme music sounds an awful lot like the Man from Uncle intro to me.

9:41am Listener Robert:

Also, for reasons I don't remember, Cheap Trick's been on my mind a lot the past week or so too.

9:42am BEAVO:

They were just inducted into the R&R HOF

9:44am Listener Robert:

I've been commenting that for years about Irwin's opening, but I'm the only one who seems to see the resemblance.

I think maybe Cheap Trick was inducted because I had them on my mind. I have that psychic influence.

9:45am BEAVO:

It was on tv last weekend as well

9:47am BEAVO:

Your psychic radar must pick up HBO.

9:48am BEAVO:

Been seeing little people and dragons in your dreams?

9:48am Listener Robert:

I haven't watched TV in a few yrs., and it was about 10 days ago I started obsessing about Dream Police. Maybe it had to do with my own dreams.

Anyway, try listening to Irwin's opening theme now, & see if it doesn't sound like the Man from UNCLE music. You have to unpack the melody & rhythm.

9:51am BEAVO:

I'm never near a radio during Irwins show.have to check it out

9:51am Listener Robert:

So did "Yes, I Can, No, You Can't" copy off "Man from UNCLE" or vice versa? Irwin doesn't hear any such resemblance, BTW.

🥁

♥ 9:53am WilliamfromDumont:

I have a distinct memory of hearing a track by track review with band commentary when Skylarking came out. I'm sure it was on FMU.

9:53am Listener Robert:

wfmu.org... , BEAVO.

9:53am BEAVO:

Budo

9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Bud Powell - like a Charlie Parker w/ a keyboard left hand - head beaten into mental illness by a Cop.

9:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...better details : en.wikipedia.org...

9:59am Listener Robert:

I'm always hearing resemblances between pieces of music. For another instance, www.youtube.com... and www.youtube.com... . I was at a performance of that trio a few yrs. ago, heard that piece, noticed the resemblance & asked about it. They said theirs was their own composition, they'd never heard that TV show I'd remembered from 50 yrs. previous. Plus it might've been before their time.

10:00am BEAVO:

He could Have been a great classical pianist but they wouldn't accept a black artist in those days.

10:01am Listener Robert:

You're saying they wouldn't dabble in the black arts? ;-)

🥁

♥ 10:02am hopewithfeathers:

Signing in from the office on a Saturday -- BAH! Keep the good tunes rolling Bob. You're making my morning at work a lot more enjoyable.

10:02am Listener Robert:

Wow, I'd no idea Bob B. wasn't pre-programming his whole show until he just said he makes most choices at the last minute. Interesting, Bob.

10:02am BEAVO:

You said that I didn't!

🥁

♥ 10:03am WilliamfromDumont:

Marcos Valle was a Brazilian songwriter/singer. He cut a few good Lps on Warner Bros. in the late sixties.

10:06am Listener Robert:

I lay it all to JFK. He said he read Ian Fleming novels, and it's like the next day everyone was reading James Bond.

10:07am Listener Robert:

Mostly John Kennedy made women swoon, but promoting Ian Fleming was his big influence on men.

10:08am KP:

A decent Man from Uncle film seems like an obvious hit but so far we've only seen Uk cheapie that came out last year. That show was huge

10:10am SmokinJ:

Spanky Rules!

10:10am Listener Robert:

I couldn't see a Man from UNCLE movie made now as being interesting, because the TV show was a complete creature of its time, making fun of all the super-spy stuff.

🥁

♥ 10:10am WilliamfromDumont:

Agree with Smokin'J!!

10:12am SmokinJ:

thx bro' 8-)

10:15am Stuart Rose:

Beautiful Spanky and our Gang song.
The song, the harmony vocals, and those atmospheric strings. And the lyrics- full of such week longing.

10:16am Stuart Rose:

Yikes, wayward fingers. I mean, such sweet longing.

10:30am SeanG:

Yo Bob

10:34am BEAVO:

The Saga of Rodney Toady, Rodney was a very sad young man.

10:35am BEAVO:

Rodney did not want to marry fat and ugly girls.

🥁

♥ 10:39am WilliamfromDumont:

What a wild song to cover. Child of the Universe?

10:40am BEAVO:

Byrds cover, what movie was that in?

🥁

♥ 10:40am WilliamfromDumont:

Candy

10:41am 1whoknewcthulhu:

Boyd Bennett! Yowsa!!!

10:43am BEAVO:

Yes! With Ringo as Manuel the gardener "Dis no good"

10:44am BEAVO:

A great movie to watch stoned

10:47am Stuart Rose:

No Nyro, no Runt

10:48am BEAVO:

They just released a "Box 'o Todd" with unreleased radio shows from this early period with the Hello People. 71-73.

10:49am bobsmart567:

Very pretty, Todd

10:50am BEAVO:

Todd hates his voice on that early stuff, says "I sound like a little boy."

10:51am Bob G:

Great show Bob!

11:00am BEAVO:

Correct
