	♥ 12:15pm chresti@Griffith Park: Hi Irene and assembled!
	12:16pm βrian: I'd say those jeans might just mutate into cut-offs.
	♥ 12:16pm coelacanth∅: greetings Irene and all
	♥ 12:18pm coelacanth∅: those jeans are practically new!
	12:18pm Stork: Hi Irene and all! Happy Bob Day
	♥ 12:18pm Irene Trudel: βrian, I don't think those jeans are going to make it that far. They certainly are well-loved! Hi chresti & coelacanth∅!
	♥ 12:19pm Irene Trudel: Happy Bob Day to you, Stork!
	12:20pm Peter K.: "Here is your throat back. Thanks for the loan." NOBODY wrote lyrics like that before Bobby came along.
	♥ 12:20pm chresti@Griffith Park: Bringing it All Back Home was a family favorite growing up, thanks to a friend of my older brother sending care packages full of records when we moved to California from Illinois in'65.
	12:21pm Stork: "A saw a white ladder all covered with water."
	12:22pm Stork: This Frisell track is divine.
	♥ 12:22pm coelacanth∅: ...keeping you in touch with the hip illinois music scene chresti?
	🥁 ♥ 12:23pm TonyR: Happy Birthday, Mr. Irene's Dad!!
	♥ 12:24pm chresti@Griffith Park: At 8 years old, I had my own way of decifering lyrics. coel, my older brother and my parents at least.
	♥ 12:25pm coelacanth∅: i still consider bringing it all back home a perfect album. that and highway 61 revisited. his 2 perfect albums.
	12:28pm Stork: Pete Seeger reportedly tried to cut the main power line to the stage during Newport with an axe. Thankfully, he was restrained.
	12:29pm Peter K.: Amazingly, "Bringin' It All Back Home" was released in March 1965 and "Highway 61 Revisited" in August 1965 -- just five months later! One was early electric Dylan, the other the full dose. And "Blonde on Blonde" came out less than a year after that. (By the way, Stork, that Pete Seeger story had been pretty thoroughly debunked -- by, among others, Pete Seeger.)
	♥ 12:30pm coelacanth∅: chresti i was messin' with you, because ca was considered such a music hot spot it seemed ironic...but then i always forget that chicago is in illinois!
	♥ 12:30pm doctorjazz: Was crazy about this Dylan when it came out (can still song every word) Hi Irene and all!
	♥ 12:31pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Peter! I was just about to mention that about the Newport story.
	♥ 12:32pm coelacanth∅: i could believe that Pete Seeger story being a falsehood, but not because Pete Seeger said so!
	12:33pm Annabella in Crewkerne UK: Good afternoon Irene, greetings fellow listeners, huge Bob fan, loving what you are playing
	♥ 12:33pm Irene Trudel: Hiya doctorjazz! I had started out loving Dylan in my teens, but got rather sick of him for a while to to overexposure of his "hits" on radio. My fandom was rekindled after seeing Dylan's post-9/11 concert, in which he played nothing but songs he wrote in NYC.
	♥ 12:33pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Annabella!
	♥ 12:35pm coelacanth∅: (no disrespect meant... it shouldn't surprise that one would deny trying to cut off Dylan)
	🥁 ♥ 12:35pm TonyR: Pete was headed for the craft table. (How he kept weight off, I'll never know.)
	🥁 ♥ 12:38pm TonyR: I love the photos of DYlan in NYC in the early 60s. So different. Cobblestone streets, etc.
	♥ 12:39pm chresti@Griffith Park: He got Highway 61 the next year, every 1 or 2 years until about 72 or 73, he sent records. Beatles, Donovan, Bob, etc.
	♥ 12:39pm Sean in Bristol UK: Bob was always on my periphery, respectful of his impact until I saw the live concert Netflix streamed. I should know the title of the concert movie but I was blown away. Huge fan now
	♥ 12:40pm chresti@Griffith Park: Agree coel@12:25
	12:43pm HyperDose: Really feeling the comfy jean metaphor today. Just got back from another stroll through my new stomping grounds. I think I love it here!
	♥ 12:44pm Sean in Bristol UK: Where are you, HyperDose?
	♥ 12:45pm coelacanth∅: chresti that was a true friend your brother had
	♥ 12:46pm coelacanth∅: this may be my favorite Dylan song
	♥ 12:48pm coelacanth∅: that's great to hear HyperD!
	♥ 12:49pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: This is a great tribute in progress, here, Irene! One after another! Love!
	♥ 12:50pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Irene! Happy Bobday!
	12:51pm Stork: Just reeling from Nashville Skyline, now getting emotionally wracked by The Sad-Eyed Lady.
	♥ 12:51pm Webhamster Henry: Somewhere around here I have a cassette aircheck of the "Bob Dylan Imitator's Contest" that aired on the Live Music Faucet I think.
	12:54pm HyperDose: @Sean I just moved to Bayonne, NJ from a town a bit more inland. This area is more diverse, working class, and closer to NYC. Finished the unpacking, now I just have to buy furniture.
	♥ 12:54pm Sean in Bristol UK: I agree, Summer, Michael and Sylvia, the fruit based streaming service is going to get some major hits from Mr Dylan!
	♥ 12:56pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: For sure, @Sean!
	♥ 12:56pm Sean in Bristol UK: Been to NJ, HyperDose, was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the state once you got a bit further south!
	♥ 12:57pm doctorjazz: My youth, lying on the living room, listening to Bobby on the console record player, ahhh...
	♥ 12:59pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Summer and Michael and Sylvia! Hi Henry! Nicholas Hill did a great Dylan tribute fill-in for me one year which I think he titled, "Bob Dylan Is a Very Funny Fellow." Sad that Nick can no longer do radio due to a stroke. Such a big Dylan fan!
	♥ 1:00pm Sean in Bristol UKke: Just fruit based mapped you, Hyper, crikey, it looks like you are a stone’s throw from the Mothership, that being WFMU. Apologies if I have dissed your neighbourhood!
	1:04pm HyperDose: @Sean None taken! It is a bit more "concrete jungle" here, but I'm happy to trade less trees for a quieter unit with a balcony. Autumn really is the best time to be in NJ. The orange & yellow hues of the foliage really push the boundaries of color!
	♥ 1:04pm Michael 98145: ... remember waiting for those Dylan 7-inchers
	♥ 1:07pm Sean in Bristol UKke: And it was this track that opened my eyes, Irene which you played
	♥ 1:09pm coelacanth∅: my brother already had 3-4 Dylan albums so i was surprised when he brought home the lay lady lay 45. i guess he didn't have a lot of faith in nashville skyline. ( - he must've acquired it later though)
	♥ 1:11pm Doug Schulkind: Happy Bobday, everyone!
	♥ 1:13pm coelacanth∅: i think Bob was on the first Johnny Cash show?
	♥ 1:18pm Sean in Bristol UKke: The Rolling Thunder Revue, that was the one I saw
	♥ 1:22pm Michael 98145: thinking about turquoise
	♥ 1:23pm Irene Trudel: Yes, Michael and coelacanth∅, I had a few Dylan singles. Still do. It might've been a money thing in my case in those days before college. Happy Bobday, Doug!
	1:24pm Annabella in Crewkerne UK: In a world of Bobness contentment, thank you Irene
	♥ 1:29pm Sean in Bristol UKke: Where I have I been for the late forty years, my ears have been truly opened, thank you Irene!
	♥ 1:31pm Sean in Bristol UKke: ‘Last’
	♥ 1:31pm Michael 98145: Have to dig out my I Want You and Positively 4th Street 45s. Hard to believe that was 1965 ...
	1:32pm Stork: Excellent read in the Guardian today - Jagger's quote is really good: www.theguardian.com...
	1:34pm Stork: According to the piece, Bob Dylan's dream is Judy Collins' fave Bob tune.
	♥ 1:35pm Michael 98145: @Stork, thanks!
	♥ 1:36pm Irene Trudel: Bob set several dreams to music. Must've had something to do with the herbs he was ingesting.
	1:36pm Annabella LL Van Clute: Hi Sean
	♥ 1:38pm Webhamster Henry: I was remarking today when I was a kid, a Dylan song would come out and instantly there'd be cover versions all over the place.
	♥ 1:40pm coelacanth∅: and there's Tom!
	1:42pm Stork: Michael 98145: :)
	1:43pm Annabella LL Van Clute: How about the wolfman in Bob Dylan’s masterpiece
	1:48pm Annabella LL Van Clute: I saw Bob twice in London Nick Lowe UB40 Santana Bob Dylan Eric Clapton Chirssie Hind Van Morrison then with the Who a great wordsmith poet
	♥ 1:48pm Sean in Bristol UKke: LOVE THIS!!
	1:49pm Stork: Awesome, Irene!!!! That must've been from Bob's radio show, yes?
	1:50pm Annabella LL Van Clute: My late Dad Walton Van Clute Knew Woody Guthrie Pete Seeger etc
	1:51pm Annabella LL Van Clute: Irene you make me very happy and joyful
	1:52pm Annabella LL Van Clute: His radio show was great as well
	1:55pm Stork: Oops! It's right there on the playlist - doi!!
	1:55pm Annabella LL Van Clute: Dylan and the dead great live album of mine
	♥ 1:57pm Irene Trudel: Yes, Stork and Annabella, it was from Theme Time Radio Hour, Dylan's XM Radio Show.
	♥ 1:58pm Sean in Bristol UKke: I’m breathless, what a set, thank you, Irene
	1:59pm Annabella LL Van Clute: Isis wow

	2:15pm Annabella LL Van Clute: Watershed movies and Bristol Bhuddest centres are open again for me to go to
	♥ 2:15pm Michael 98145: Robyn !
	♥ 2:18pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Great covers, Irene! We need to pick up this Emma Swift album on the next Bandcamp Friday. And we've heard Robyn do "Visions" live before - love. Is it possible we've also heard him do "Fourth Time Around"? Is memory playing a trick? Do you know that one from his live sets? Thinking he did it once at a show at Maxwell's...
	♥ 2:21pm Irene Trudel: Summer and Michael and Sylvia, It's on this collection of live tracks, Robyn sings! I may not get to it today though.
	♥ 2:23pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Ah! Thanks! So Michael is not crazy (at least on this matter...)!
	♥ 2:31pm coelacanth∅: gotta crank this one UP!
	2:32pm Andrew Hollywood: If Not For You - what a glorious song and sound
	♥ 2:33pm Michael 98145: Well done, George
	2:35pm Annabella LL Van Clute: Barbera. Keith All along the watchtower Reprise records 1970S
	♥ 2:35pm Irene Trudel: Yeah, George really shines on that one, Andrew!
	♥ 2:36pm Michael 98145: had forgotten this travelogue
	♥ 2:37pm Irene Trudel: Annabella, I don't have that version but have another one coming up next set.
	2:39pm Andrew Hollywood: When I got my wisdom teeth removed, I got high on whatever they gave me and sang The Wilburys Dirty World as I was going under. So I’ve been told.
	♥ 2:44pm Michael 98145: this has been great
	♥ 2:49pm Ike: This isn't Ken's show so I guess that means Dylan is still alive. Actually, at this point I suspect Dylan can only die during Ken's show, and is invulnerable to harm at all other times of the week. I don't make the rules.
	♥ 2:50pm Michael 98145: Whiskey www.bobdylan.com...
	♥ 2:52pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Impossible not to crank up this one! Positively....
	2:53pm People Like Us: So glad all this Bob Dylan today in the world is because he's alive rather than otherwise. <3 Bob <3
	2:54pm People Like Us: When I worked in Virgin Megastore in the 90s someone came up to the counter all confused because they couldn't find The Wilbury Travellers under W
	♥ 2:55pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Ike and PLU! Definitely glad Dylan's still with us. Thanks everybody for listening to my Dylan indulgences today! Stay tuned for Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza.
	♥ 2:56pm Ike: @PLU on a non-Dylan note, someone on another station today played the normal version of Human League's "Don't You Want Me" and I was flabbergasted, as it's been eons since I heard the proper version with all the lyrics instead of the, um, "remix". And wow, the dude in that song is a total douchenozzle.
	♥ 2:56pm listener 126464: Thanks Irene, loved hearing today's selections.
	♥ 2:56pm Webhamster Henry: Nice collection today!
	♥ 2:56pm Sean in Bristol UKke: Stupendous show, Irene, thank you, thank you
	♥ 2:57pm Michael 98145: thanks again!
	🥁 ♥ 2:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Here Comes Something! Noisy sound collage on Ken's Last Ever. Chat/Listen/Here: wfmu.org...
	♥ 2:58pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Thank you, Irene! Also... don't know if you ever were a fan of Paul Westerberg, but his cover of Positively 4th Street a few years ago was pretty good... <3
	2:58pm People Like Us: I love this album
	🥁 ♥ 2:58pm TonyR: TY,IT!!! We knew you were up to it.
	♥ 3:00pm coelacanth∅: Excellent tribute Irene Thanks!

	🥁 ♥ 12:35pm TonyR: Pete was headed for the craft table. (How he kept weight off, I'll never know.)
	🥁 ♥ 12:38pm TonyR: I love the photos of DYlan in NYC in the early 60s. So different. Cobblestone streets, etc.
	♥ 12:39pm chresti@Griffith Park: He got Highway 61 the next year, every 1 or 2 years until about 72 or 73, he sent records. Beatles, Donovan, Bob, etc.
	♥ 12:39pm Sean in Bristol UK: Bob was always on my periphery, respectful of his impact until I saw the live concert Netflix streamed. I should know the title of the concert movie but I was blown away. Huge fan now
	♥ 12:40pm chresti@Griffith Park: Agree coel@12:25
	12:43pm HyperDose: Really feeling the comfy jean metaphor today. Just got back from another stroll through my new stomping grounds. I think I love it here!
	♥ 12:44pm Sean in Bristol UK: Where are you, HyperDose?
	♥ 12:45pm coelacanth∅: chresti that was a true friend your brother had
	♥ 12:46pm coelacanth∅: this may be my favorite Dylan song
	♥ 12:48pm coelacanth∅: that's great to hear HyperD!
	♥ 12:49pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: This is a great tribute in progress, here, Irene! One after another! Love!
	♥ 12:50pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Irene! Happy Bobday!
	12:51pm Stork: Just reeling from Nashville Skyline, now getting emotionally wracked by The Sad-Eyed Lady.
	♥ 12:51pm Webhamster Henry: Somewhere around here I have a cassette aircheck of the "Bob Dylan Imitator's Contest" that aired on the Live Music Faucet I think.
	12:54pm HyperDose: @Sean I just moved to Bayonne, NJ from a town a bit more inland. This area is more diverse, working class, and closer to NYC. Finished the unpacking, now I just have to buy furniture.
	♥ 12:54pm Sean in Bristol UK: I agree, Summer, Michael and Sylvia, the fruit based streaming service is going to get some major hits from Mr Dylan!
	♥ 12:56pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: For sure, @Sean!
	♥ 12:56pm Sean in Bristol UK: Been to NJ, HyperDose, was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the state once you got a bit further south!
	♥ 12:57pm doctorjazz: My youth, lying on the living room, listening to Bobby on the console record player, ahhh...
	♥ 12:59pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Summer and Michael and Sylvia! Hi Henry! Nicholas Hill did a great Dylan tribute fill-in for me one year which I think he titled, "Bob Dylan Is a Very Funny Fellow." Sad that Nick can no longer do radio due to a stroke. Such a big Dylan fan!
	♥ 1:00pm Sean in Bristol UKke: Just fruit based mapped you, Hyper, crikey, it looks like you are a stone’s throw from the Mothership, that being WFMU. Apologies if I have dissed your neighbourhood!
	1:04pm HyperDose: @Sean None taken! It is a bit more "concrete jungle" here, but I'm happy to trade less trees for a quieter unit with a balcony. Autumn really is the best time to be in NJ. The orange & yellow hues of the foliage really push the boundaries of color!
	♥ 1:04pm Michael 98145: ... remember waiting for those Dylan 7-inchers
	♥ 1:07pm Sean in Bristol UKke: And it was this track that opened my eyes, Irene which you played
	♥ 1:09pm coelacanth∅: my brother already had 3-4 Dylan albums so i was surprised when he brought home the lay lady lay 45. i guess he didn't have a lot of faith in nashville skyline. ( - he must've acquired it later though)
	♥ 1:11pm Doug Schulkind: Happy Bobday, everyone!
	♥ 1:13pm coelacanth∅: i think Bob was on the first Johnny Cash show?
	♥ 1:18pm Sean in Bristol UKke: The Rolling Thunder Revue, that was the one I saw
	♥ 1:22pm Michael 98145: thinking about turquoise
	♥ 1:23pm Irene Trudel: Yes, Michael and coelacanth∅, I had a few Dylan singles. Still do. It might've been a money thing in my case in those days before college. Happy Bobday, Doug!
	1:24pm Annabella in Crewkerne UK: In a world of Bobness contentment, thank you Irene
	♥ 1:29pm Sean in Bristol UKke: Where I have I been for the late forty years, my ears have been truly opened, thank you Irene!
	♥ 1:31pm Sean in Bristol UKke: ‘Last’
	♥ 1:31pm Michael 98145: Have to dig out my I Want You and Positively 4th Street 45s. Hard to believe that was 1965 ...
	1:32pm Stork: Excellent read in the Guardian today - Jagger's quote is really good: www.theguardian.com...
	1:34pm Stork: According to the piece, Bob Dylan's dream is Judy Collins' fave Bob tune.
	♥ 1:35pm Michael 98145: @Stork, thanks!
	♥ 1:36pm Irene Trudel: Bob set several dreams to music. Must've had something to do with the herbs he was ingesting.
	1:36pm Annabella LL Van Clute: Hi Sean
	♥ 1:38pm Webhamster Henry: I was remarking today when I was a kid, a Dylan song would come out and instantly there'd be cover versions all over the place.
	♥ 1:40pm coelacanth∅: and there's Tom!
	1:42pm Stork: Michael 98145: :)
	1:43pm Annabella LL Van Clute: How about the wolfman in Bob Dylan’s masterpiece

	♥ 2:15pm Michael 98145: Robyn !
	♥ 2:18pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Great covers, Irene! We need to pick up this Emma Swift album on the next Bandcamp Friday. And we've heard Robyn do "Visions" live before - love. Is it possible we've also heard him do "Fourth Time Around"? Is memory playing a trick? Do you know that one from his live sets? Thinking he did it once at a show at Maxwell's...
	♥ 2:21pm Irene Trudel: Summer and Michael and Sylvia, It's on this collection of live tracks, Robyn sings! I may not get to it today though.
	♥ 2:23pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Ah! Thanks! So Michael is not crazy (at least on this matter...)!
	♥ 2:31pm coelacanth∅: gotta crank this one UP!
	2:32pm Andrew Hollywood: If Not For You - what a glorious song and sound
	♥ 2:33pm Michael 98145: Well done, George
	2:35pm Annabella LL Van Clute: Barbera. Keith All along the watchtower Reprise records 1970S
	♥ 2:35pm Irene Trudel: Yeah, George really shines on that one, Andrew!
	♥ 2:36pm Michael 98145: had forgotten this travelogue
	♥ 2:37pm Irene Trudel: Annabella, I don't have that version but have another one coming up next set.
	2:39pm Andrew Hollywood: When I got my wisdom teeth removed, I got high on whatever they gave me and sang The Wilburys Dirty World as I was going under. So I’ve been told.
	♥ 2:44pm Michael 98145: this has been great
	♥ 2:49pm Ike: This isn't Ken's show so I guess that means Dylan is still alive. Actually, at this point I suspect Dylan can only die during Ken's show, and is invulnerable to harm at all other times of the week. I don't make the rules.
	♥ 2:50pm Michael 98145: Whiskey www.bobdylan.com...
	♥ 2:52pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Impossible not to crank up this one! Positively....
	2:53pm People Like Us: So glad all this Bob Dylan today in the world is because he's alive rather than otherwise. <3 Bob <3
	2:54pm People Like Us: When I worked in Virgin Megastore in the 90s someone came up to the counter all confused because they couldn't find The Wilbury Travellers under W
	♥ 2:55pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Ike and PLU! Definitely glad Dylan's still with us. Thanks everybody for listening to my Dylan indulgences today! Stay tuned for Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza.
	♥ 2:56pm Ike: @PLU on a non-Dylan note, someone on another station today played the normal version of Human League's "Don't You Want Me" and I was flabbergasted, as it's been eons since I heard the proper version with all the lyrics instead of the, um, "remix". And wow, the dude in that song is a total douchenozzle.
	♥ 2:56pm listener 126464: Thanks Irene, loved hearing today's selections.
	♥ 2:56pm Webhamster Henry: Nice collection today!
	♥ 2:56pm Sean in Bristol UKke: Stupendous show, Irene, thank you, thank you
	♥ 2:57pm Michael 98145: thanks again!
	🥁 ♥ 2:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Here Comes Something! Noisy sound collage on Ken's Last Ever. Chat/Listen/Here: wfmu.org...
	♥ 2:58pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Thank you, Irene! Also... don't know if you ever were a fan of Paul Westerberg, but his cover of Positively 4th Street a few years ago was pretty good... <3
	2:58pm People Like Us: I love this album
	🥁 ♥ 2:58pm TonyR: TY,IT!!! We knew you were up to it.
