	11:19am clarke: re Get Back: i can wait a little while to catch the new stuff - but, that is because i have seen some of the footage, already. i wanna hear what Frank has to say about it. and also am thinking the movie Let It Be is getting slagged - what are you gonna do with a couple of hours?
	11:20am clarke: BF4 pretty much always overdubbed the hi-hats. not sure about the rest.
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Anything Peter Jackson is involved in pegs my Dubious Meter into the red (except Bad Taste!). But I'm interested in spite of myself. Interesting article on his process -- or maybe "technique" would be more accurate: www.theringer.com...
	11:22am Frank In Queens: I should have a full report in time for next week's show. Besides, I need an antidote for all the garbage hockey I've seen this week.
	11:22am happymaan: First off, she's impressed by how eclectic it is.
	11:22am Moammar: This must have inspired "Red's" by the Morrells. Why do I know these things?
	11:23am clarke: @Frank - how is the new hockey venue?? review?
	11:23am Listener Baby: Baby. Winning them over one Dad’s Girlfriend at a time.
	11:23am Mr. Oxford: Hello all! Just jumped on the show when that X song was playing. Real good show so far. Lovin this Little Jimmy Dickens song!
	11:23am happymaan: @Handy, Peter just sold Weta and is now a billionare.
	11:23am phat in Lincoln: He rhymed diner and Carolina. Love that
	11:23am dash riprock: x at the tea in philly for this tour with jiggy opening up in 83. my wife and I were there. john doe and exene forever.
	11:23am PatrickMC: The Morells whole sound right there in that 45
	11:24am happymaan: She's really liking this track "I don't know a lot about bluegrass or anything but I like banjo and don't hear it a lot"
	11:24am clarke: Reds was a rip on the 'Dick fo' sho!!
	11:24am Frank In Queens: @clarke, the arena is fantastic! Not 100% done, but it's still really fantastic. My seats are great, the arena is plenty loud, plenty of food options and bars. The only problem is they haven't won a home game yet!
	11:25am clarke: ah, SEASON tix - wow!! garbage hockey!!
	11:25am clarke: guess it takes a while for a team to make a place 'home'.
	11:26am Moammar: Ah, swampers cooking here!
	11:27am phat in Lincoln: My God, that rhythm section.
	11:28am G: Was just at the two Muscle Shoals studios that still function as combination museums/studios. Studio drummer Roger Hawkins just died in May.
	11:28am Frank In Queens: The team is being ravaged by COVID right now and a couple of regulars are injured as well. They're basically icing a minor league squad.
	11:28am Mr. Oxford: That is so cool Lou Rawls was harmonizing with Sam Cooke on the original recording!
	11:29am Kotzwinkled: Wait did you make a green bean casserole with morels, Mike?! That'd be fancy.
	11:29am happymaan: LOL, so I messed up, when I was talking about banjo I accidentally had DDR still streaming on my bluetooth. I was showing her that show before and my speaker didn't switch over.
	11:29am Moammar: Aren't the Skeletons adjacent to the Morrells somehow?
	11:29am phat in Lincoln: We could all use more Skeletons.
	11:30am clarke: wow G - i went there as a kid (when the studio was just a studio, but gave tours). there's some cool battlefields around there, Corinth and more.
	11:30am PatrickMC: Reunion supergroup known as the Skells
	11:30am morphe': 2018 Obit: "It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Dorcas Reilly, 92, the creator of one of the most beloved recipes in America, the Green Bean Casserole.

	11:32am P-90: Happy Birthday @Grandma Shelley!
	11:32am clarke: hBd Mom!! i hope she is feeliing better, etc.
	11:32am clarke: GOOD CHOICE!!!
	11:32am Handy Haversack: Happy birthday to Mom!
	11:32am Kotzwinkled: Midnight Run! Marvin lookout!
	11:33am Rock Ridge Chess Club: Game Geek chiming in. What games did you guys play?
	11:33am clarke: that movie stands up really really WELL!!
	11:33am morphe': Mikey - ya never mention??? GM Shelley was in/on the Silver Screen???
	11:33am Handy Haversack: Murder spree? Undersea arkology? Bodily assumption to higher spheres of being? Spoil the ending, Michael!
	11:34am P-90: Her name is officially That Girl From Friends Jennifer Anniston
	11:34am Montmaster J: The Duke!
	11:34am Frank In Queens: Pie for breakfast is a big Thanksgiving weekend tradition here in Queens.
	11:34am clarke: kitten-napping!! HH
	11:35am Moammar: I've been doing scrambled eggs with apple pie for breakfast two days running. I'll keep this up till the pie runs out.
	11:35am Mr. Oxford: Song about writing songs? Two Thumbs up!
	11:36am Listener Baby: Baby. When you Johnathan King on years ago, did you guys talk about his work with Genesis? I can’t remember..
	11:36am Frank In Queens: @Moammar, the rule here is that all the pie has to be consumed by the end of the weekend. Gotta get back to normal eating habits before the Xmas gluttony is upon us.
	11:36am clarke: MovieTime has been opened: re-watched The American - one of the finest films of this decade (of not-fine films) Fuzz - the late 60's burt reynolds cop comedy and it's pretty okay.
	11:37am clarke: eh what kinda pie, Frank?
	11:38am Frank In Queens: Didn't have much time for movies this week, but I did manage to rewatch Mulholland Drive on Tuesday.
	11:38am Handy Haversack: K8 made her annual pie. It is more than enough to surfeit any desire for sweets I might have until next year. Chocolate-pecan madness.
	11:39am happymaan: "This sounds like country music from 50's" she says, and my brother is dancing in the kitchen.
	11:39am PatrickMC: A not great Bo Diddley Chess side does not exist
	11:39am Frank In Queens: @clarke, pumpkin pie gets the breakfast treatment, but Christina made a crazy butterscotch apple pie as well this year. That one is strictly for desert though!
	11:39am clarke: is Mulholland the one with jennifer conolly? wow!!
	11:40am clarke: and LOW calorie, ha ha, i assume
	11:41am PatrickMC: More maraca
	11:41am Frank In Queens: There's a great picture of Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry playing at Belmont Park in 1980 hanging in the new arena.
	11:41am Baja Joe: Hello Michael and everyone listening.
	11:41am Frank In Queens: @clarke, no it's the David Lynch film. I think you're thinking of Mulholland Falls.
	11:42am clarke: ah, yer right. i couldn't make it thru M. Drive the first time.
	11:43am Tommy in Neversink: I grew up in NC in the 60s and 70s . Brogans were a popular term for work boots
	11:43am phat in Lincoln: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brogan_(shoes)
	11:43am Mr. Oxford: That pumpkin pie looks delicious!!!
	11:44am Larry 7: I've always thought heard Pro keds.
	11:45am Baja Joe: Now that's a lovely pie.
	11:45am gf2002: Mulholland Falls - The Hat Squad and Nick Nolte smoking the most cigarettes ever smoked during a film...Dwight Shultz is great in that one
	11:45am Handy Haversack: Josie! She played in Brooklyn recently, but K8 had a gig the same night.
	11:46am Listener Baby: Great “Bad” Synth” restraint on this one. All good decisions. Ages super well. Me likely!
	11:46am Johnny 4 Strings: This Josie Cotton tune is, to borrow a phrase, Pure Pop for Now People! Great!
	11:46am Pedro in Arlington: The Elliot Lurie shop is open, for all holiday gift giving. Or you could listen to his interviews in Michael's archive. elliotlurie.com...
	11:46am Frank In Queens: @Handy, at TV Eye. It was a fun show!
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Ahhh, jealous, Frank! But K8's gig was great. We gotta get you to a show. 12/11 at Wonderville? Four bands. C&K at 9.
	11:48am Frank In Queens: @Handy, there's a chance I might go to a family gathering that night. But if not, i'll be at the gig!
	11:49am clarke: jack nitzche on piano here
	11:50am Steve Harsh: Great call on that production credit Michael - that song JUMPED out of my tiny little speakers. Rockin tune!
	11:51am DJ Guin: this crap is HOF worthy? clean ur hippy ears out.
	11:53am ?: MS, what is the name of the Elvis compilation you mentioned?
	11:53am P-90: Paul must have been nothing less than thrilled to hear Elvis & co. jamming on this…
	11:53am happymaan: This song has her singing along Michael. "Nothing like an old Beatles song to remind you of your youth'
	11:53am Frank Zaatar: That's Elvis doing Paul doing Elvis.
	11:55am Mr. Oxford: I knew it was going to be "Mama Tried"! :)
	11:55am Michael Shelley: www.graceland.com...
	11:56am bobsmart567: Is this the closest Michael will come to playing the Dead😊
	11:57am Frank In Queens: Best Monkees song?
	11:57am clarke: yes!! Liverpool seems to be headed for #1'sville!!
	11:57am Biba McLurex: Mike, the hit side of our T dinner was the miso-ginger sweet potatoes, a Deborah Madison recipe in the NY Times. Really terrific.
	11:57am gf2002: YES! I've been on a Monkees kick this past week via YouTube, and this is one of the best they ever did.
	11:58am PatrickMC: Saw Merle play Tramps back in the 90s. Always a unique fashion style to match his awesome band. Kangol hat, Hawaiian shirt and cowboy boots
	11:58am clarke: it's up there, Frank. for sure.
	11:59am Rick from SC: Reminds me of CSNY
	11:59am gf2002: Mike Nesmith was not looking good on their last tour this fall, which is very sad. It was almost like a different person on stage from 2019 to now, and of course he had that serious health emergency where he almost died, but still...
	12:00pm Listener Baby: If one ever feels compelled to see Michael Nesmith live, don’t.
	12:01pm gf2002: I saw him about 7 years ago at the Colonial Theater in PA, and Mike was terrific. Packed house.
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Monkees trax that are essential.
	12:01pm Michael Shelley: happyman: she's invited to co-host if she's ever in Jersey City
	12:02pm Moammar: One of my great triumphs was persuading a wedding band to play a snippet of this in Hunstsville, Alabama. It worked. The couple swiftly reproduced!
	12:02pm Moammar: Just that opening guitar riff gets the zygotes trembling.
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LadyMadonna of course is very FatsDomino.
	12:03pm paul: Thanks, Michael. I will check it out.
	12:04pm PatrickMC: Pinch me is that Lou Rawls singing backup
	12:04pm paul: I love Fats' version of LM.
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: @Baby, I saw Mike play in 2018. It was a decent show; not phenomenal but entertaining and it was just great to see him perform stuff from those First National Band albums. But that was prior to his health issues and COVID of course.
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: Ha, I was just saying to myself "this is one hell of a demo!"
	12:06pm Kotzwinkled: Sitting in Lawrence, Kansas right this moment. I gotta seek out these Shebangs!
	12:07pm gf2002: Shebang was Casey Kasem's TV teen dance show in the 60's
	12:08pm Listener Baby: @Frank. Saw him just pre Covid. Snippets of greatness. Interspersed with him playing a different song than the rest of the band, multiple times. Just kind of sad, that’s all. I recognize his greatness. Which why I really wanted to see him. I guess I missed the boat by a few years.
	12:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thuh HOOTZ
	12:09pm paul: Wasn't She Bangs a song by Ricky Martin?
	12:09pm Listener Baby: I always love The Who more when Pete sings.
	12:09pm Frank In Queens: @Baby, wow i guess things went downhill quite quickly for him in that one year.
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...when Cyndi Lauper cut her hair straight in front...
	12:10pm Listener Baby: Clearly impaired.
	12:11pm phat in Lincoln: Pete Townshend wrote a brilliant song about a deodorant. Fergodsake.
	12:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Damn but Sellout.
	12:11pm Frank In Queens: What more is there to say about The Who Sell Out?
	12:12pm gf2002: That's how Mike was on the fall tour shows I've seen, glimpses of being right on but then some songs and some times where he seemed totally lost, and missing all kinds of cues too.
	12:13pm TimG: Speaking of films: I saw the Velvet Underground doc last night. Though I'm not an aficiando of them or Lou Reed (particularly), it is a very entertaining glimpse into the New York scene in the sixties and the writing "process". We are even more fortunate here (in Chico CA) because Jonathan Richman lives here and answered questions about the time and his connection to the band, which was fascinating. Recommend it. Maybe a little Jonathan is queued up today?
	12:14pm Mr. Oxford: I would be down for Jonathan!
	12:14pm clarke: that richman interview was GREAT!! didn't wanna spoil it, b4 - but, it is a good doc.
	12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Will be interested in Mr. Shelley's impressions of the Get Back series.
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: Thank you for sparing us from fake stereo!
	12:16pm Mr. Oxford: I haven't seen the doc yet but I can imagine the value Jonathan would have brought to the doc. He had very different and unique observations about the band that I don't think many people picked on. It seems like their music moved Jonathan differently.
	12:16pm Pedro in Arlington: Jonathan Richman is crucial to the VU doc. A shame Gerard Malanga didn't participate.
	12:17pm Moammar: Pearl Bailey was a No. 1 Mets fan. Fixture at Shea in the 1969 season.
	12:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dawned on me Jonathan is Lou's little brother from Mass.
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: He drove them around in his parents' station wagon! He spent hundreds of hours with them. Really enjoyed his presence in the doc, and that's super cool that you heard him answer questions about it, TimG.
	12:20pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Tinted Windows are underrated. So much so that even an avowed fan like Michael doesn't spell their name right.
	12:21pm clarke: james iha is some songwriter!!
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: Oh, this Song song is great!
	12:22pm Hughie Considine: The band Girls has to be right up there in the un-Google-alble Hall of Fame.
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: When that Hanson kid make a solo album: Tinted Window
	12:23pm clarke: i should say so! never heard this!! Girls - great band - impossible to google
	12:23pm Listener Baby: There was a winery around here called Twilight. Also a horrible google name. But I think Song takes the cake. Cake, also a bad name in that way.
	12:23pm Handy Haversack: Poor K8 once innocently internet searched a Seattle theater company called Live Girls.
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: I know all about google impossible band names. I've been in 2 if not 3 unsearchable bands.
	12:24pm clarke: ah, but it was The Cake - which is easier to search.
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: In fairness, 2 of them existed before internet searches were so damn important.
	12:25pm Handy Haversack: SEO Speedwagon is still out there!
	12:25pm clarke: you'd think that google would have portals for "song" and "band" or "group" or "artist"
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: clarke, you're assuming Google cares whether you find what you're looking for using is search function. It does not. It cares only about selling what you search for to other companies. It does not want to help us. It wants to sell us.
	12:26pm clarke: well-laminated
	12:27pm Hubig Pie: I would like to join the chorus that Mr. Richman was one of the highlights of the VU doc
	12:27pm Hughie Considine: I witnessed but didn't partake in the classic green bean casserole made with Campbells Mushroom Soup and Durkee French Fried Onion Rings ... an American classic, I guess ... before we learned how not to destroy green beans.
	12:29pm Michael Shelley: I fried up my own shallots for topping - a pain, but worth it!
	12:30pm Listener Baby: You lost me @ shallots, Baby.
	12:30pm clarke: a moment of weakness.
	12:31pm paul: Michigan 7 OSU 0 1st quarter
	12:32pm clarke: ONE!!!
	12:34pm Dominick: Haven't heard this for half a century!
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: Kinda sounds like Shake And Pop/They Called It Rock until the chorus.
	12:36pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: When I DJ'd in Brooklyn Wednesday night I had two different people come up to me with requests...the first one was for Miley Cyrus, the second one was for "Fly Me To The Moon".
	12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So You Wanna Be a #1 Star
	12:36pm clarke: and you only had the first
	12:37pm Mr. Oxford: I vaguely remember The Strypes playing on Letterman in 2013/2014. They all looked like when the rolling stones were young
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Made Galileo look like a boyscout.
	12:38pm clarke: bj hunnicut
	12:38pm Listener Baby: Hey..All you fabulous folks with fabulous taste. Check out a #1 X-Mas classic. Right here. Michael Shelley and Laura Cantrell doing George and Tammy proud. Check this out! linktr.ee...
	12:38pm Michael Shelley: Mr. O. - that's what tipped me to them - they were on fire!
	12:39pm Michael Shelley: THANKS BABY!
	12:39pm morphe': Thanks Mikey and all !!! must get coffee beans and beer = a legal SpeedBall ....
	12:40pm Listener Baby: You should be proud, Baby. It’s excellent!,,
	12:40pm phat in Lincoln: Bring back shoulder pads!
	12:41pm PatrickMC: Did shoulder pads leave?
	12:41pm Montmaster J: Hippies were sleeping in Manor Park, man.
	12:42pm Frank Zaatar: More hippies wrote songs than there were songs about hippies.
	12:42pm Listener Baby: I like the term, “Less clean”
	12:42pm Handy Haversack: They're selling hippie wigs in Woolworth's, man.
	12:43pm PatrickMC: Finally a sentiment for our times. Wash your hands
	12:43pm yippie: all the hippies died
	12:43pm phat in Lincoln: I mean, it's good advice!
	12:43pm Hughie Considine: Long hair was bad because it made you look like a girl and the implication was that you grew it but didn't wash it (dirty hippies).... The proto-hippie archetype was already familiar to Americans by the time the second-wave late-60s hippies showed up -- thanks to Maynard G Krebs and the like
	12:43pm John Pietaro: The Frightened Right rears it ugly head and shuttered mind in every generation. “The Great Unwashed” is just more hate and divisive BS
	12:44pm clarke: the least that you can do is visit a Stuckey's!! (wash yer hands, while there).
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is a valid question. Worth exposition. The range & qualities of Hippiedom. Did 'the 60s' for instance extend to 1974 - what have you... & then the sense it was over in the Haight by mid1967.
	12:44pm DG: TimG: Thought the same thing about the VU doc. (it was playing here in NYC at a rep. theater). Lots of info on that time, the avant-garde scene, etc. & I enjoyed all that, but was puzzled/annoyed by the fact they left out all their reunions: from the Cale/Reed Warhol album (they just showed the cover) to their European tour (which would've come to NYC if the usual conflicts didn't come up again), to their last performance, at their HoF induction, where they did a new song dedicated to S. Morrison.....why not include that? Also did nothing to change the reputation of Reed being a sour, controlling prick. (Oh, and a misguided one---given the fact that he thought Zappa & the Mothers were "hippies"----as if.)
	12:44pm PatrickMC: Yeah but it's still a good song
	12:44pm Michael Shelley: I'd never play a bad song to prove a point!
	12:45pm Montmaster J: www.imdb.com... Hippies on Star Trek! Groovy!
	12:46pm Zinn The Mood: You got it, Shelley! The hippies were easy targets for straight, mainstream society trained to live in fear, a state for which nationalist and “law and order” propaganda thrives. Where are the songs attacking white-collar crime? Good topics to explore. Great show, man!
	12:46pm Mr. Oxford: Jack White thought he smelled a rat. Clarence Carter was sure he smelled a rat!
	12:47pm Corey: Good morning Michael and listeners! Today's show has provided the soundtrack for a treacherous (for the tree) drive home from the xmas tree farm. Will learn to tie a good knot one of these days.
	12:48pm Handy Haversack: You could have had one from Oceana Co. for free, Corey! Though they're pretty wild.
	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Society is a Bad Trip.
	12:48pm Listener Baby: Should Jack White and Jack Black do a duet?
	12:49pm clarke: swell times, here, folks!!! c ya!!
	12:49pm Corey: @Handy Next year! We'll check on the house for you.
	12:50pm paul: Michigan 7 OSU 3 1st quarter
	12:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Did anyone else listen to Pee Wee Herman's radio show last night? It could have been better IMO.
	12:51pm Mr. Oxford: Jack White should sing a song with Jack Black about consuming too much Jack Daniels
	12:51pm Greg from ZONE 5: @Listener Baby: They did! Look up "Don't Blow It, Kage." It's brilliant.
	12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Want Beck Hansen & Jeff Beck to form the Beck Band - or just Beck. Which they could easily do.
	12:51pm Listener Baby: No way..
	12:51pm Frank In Queens: @Todd, I should've listened to that instead of going to the game!
	12:52pm Pedro in Arlington: I agree TOPT. Pee-Wee sounded a bit tiresome.
	12:52pm Mr. Oxford: @Greg, that is brilliant!
	12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jeff Beck Hansen
	12:53pm Frank Zaatar: The answer is that Woody Guthrie wrote about white-collar crime: Some will rob you with a six-gun, And some with a fountain pen.
	12:54pm G: name checking Breaux Bridge. Lotsa references only we in Louisiana get.
	12:54pm Hubig Pie: Hackberry- sorta southern mulberry
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: steal a little & they throw in jail steal a lot & they make you a king what's a sweetheart like you doin' in a place like this
	12:55pm Moammar: Chank-a-chank
	12:55pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: Not so sure about that.
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: @Todd, at least it would've been cheaper!
	12:56pm paul: RRNov63, did you know it's Jimi's birthday?
	12:56pm phat in Lincoln: The JD McPherson has a ridiculously good chorus. My god. I just love this song.
	12:57pm Greg from ZONE 5: This JD McPherson is a #1 hit among #1 hits.
	12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This fellow Jimi's rep precedes him.
	12:57pm Corey: Thanks Michael for a great show! Have a good Saturday all!
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' I see that we meet again '...
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael! Cheers everyone! Until next week...
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	12:59pm DG: Jacks White & Black have collaborated, I think on a Tenacious D song.
	12:59pm dano59: I really want to see Sarah Cooper lip-synch this
	1:00pm Mr. Oxford: Thank you Michael for a fantastic show!
	1:00pm P-90: Giving thanks for another year of Michael on Saturdays!
	1:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Michael!
	1:00pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael!
	4:40pm Remaining anonymous today: I cringed a little when I heard my review of Dragnet come out of the radio but I'm standing by it. It's a weird, not great NRBQ record. No fault of the newer guys. Terry's songs don't cut it this time. Where's My Pebble is a great groover though.

	10:41am Listener Baby: Good morning!! The sun is shining. The air is crisp and cool. Hot cup of fresh coffee in my hand. Baby is on the radio. What could go wrong?
	10:55am G: Already open!
	10:59am Michael Shelley: The Shelley variant.
	10:59am Listener Baby: Exactly!
	11:00am Handy Haversack: Morning, Michael and all the Shellegamers! Hey, Baby!

	11:09am Listener Baby: I think this Issak O, Baby?
	11:09am Pedro in Arlington: Enjoyed the rest of my family being gone on Thanksgiving. Watched all of Sopranos, Season 2. Made and ate a baked ziti. Perfect.
	11:10am Handy Haversack: I made a ziti, too, Pedro.
	11:11am Johnny 4 Strings: Thanksgiving nite and last were about the "Get Back".
	11:12am Frank In Queens: i think we're going to start Get Back tonight. Was at my brother's place on Thursday and at the game last night.
	11:13am Pedro in Arlington: Wished it was Karen's last ziti, Handy. It was not. For pure Sopranos socipathdom, nothing beats Richie. Ralph got soft when his kid got hurt.
	11:13am Johnny 4 Strings: Holy wow! The separation on this "Caravan"!
	11:14am Frank In Queens: Wiiiiiiide stereo.
	11:14am clarke: how now brown cow(s)~
	11:14am Frank In Queens: heya clarke!
	11:14am Handy Haversack: Doesn't work out too well for either of them, though. Hey, Frank, clarke!
	11:15am happymaan: Hey Micheal I have WFMU on in Chicago now, my dad's girlfriend just walked in and heard your show for the first time. She commented on liking the first song, she said she likes the second song "not as good as the first, but it's cool"
	11:15am clarke: strange week - got out of the hospital on tuesday. emerg gall bladder removal!! it wanted OUT!!
	11:15am Frank In Queens: Hi Handy!
	11:16am Listener Baby: Wow Clarke! You doing okay?
	11:16am Montmaster J: @Frank...If you like the Beatles Get Back is pure catnip. There are some truly "mind blowing" parts as MS would say. Can't wait to watch part 3!
	11:16am PatrickMC: Billy Zoom forever
	11:16am Handy Haversack: Whoa, clarke! Hope you're recovering OK. Same happened to a friend of mine several years back, and he's back to eating entire sleeves of Pringles and Hostess cakes by the dozen.
	11:17am clarke: im on the mend. it was weird.
	11:17am phat in Lincoln: Woke me up!
	11:17am Frank In Queens: @Montmaster, I have high expectations for Get Back. I can't see how I won't love it despite some mixed reviews I've been reading.
	11:18am Frank In Queens: @clarke, sorry to hear about the ol' gall bladder, but glad to hear you're on the mend.
	11:18am Frank In Queens: It hardly gets more #1 than this BFF song.
	11:18am PatrickMC: #1 forever BF4 ♥
	11:19am Michael Shelley: happyman - please keep updating the score!
	11:19am Michael Shelley: FIQ - for sure
	11:19am clarke: re Get Back: i can wait a little while to catch the new stuff - but, that is because i have seen some of the footage, already. i wanna hear what Frank has to say about it. and also am thinking the movie Let It Be is getting slagged - what are you gonna do with a couple of hours?
	11:20am clarke: BF4 pretty much always overdubbed the hi-hats. not sure about the rest.
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Anything Peter Jackson is involved in pegs my Dubious Meter into the red (except Bad Taste!). But I'm interested in spite of myself. Interesting article on his process -- or maybe "technique" would be more accurate: www.theringer.com...
	11:22am Frank In Queens: I should have a full report in time for next week's show. Besides, I need an antidote for all the garbage hockey I've seen this week.
	11:22am happymaan: First off, she's impressed by how eclectic it is.
	11:22am Moammar: This must have inspired "Red's" by the Morrells. Why do I know these things?
	11:23am clarke: @Frank - how is the new hockey venue?? review?
	11:23am Listener Baby: Baby. Winning them over one Dad’s Girlfriend at a time.
	11:23am Mr. Oxford: Hello all! Just jumped on the show when that X song was playing. Real good show so far. Lovin this Little Jimmy Dickens song!
	11:23am happymaan: @Handy, Peter just sold Weta and is now a billionare.
	11:23am phat in Lincoln: He rhymed diner and Carolina. Love that
	11:23am dash riprock: x at the tea in philly for this tour with jiggy opening up in 83. my wife and I were there. john doe and exene forever.
	11:23am PatrickMC: The Morells whole sound right there in that 45
	11:24am happymaan: She's really liking this track "I don't know a lot about bluegrass or anything but I like banjo and don't hear it a lot"
	11:24am clarke: Reds was a rip on the 'Dick fo' sho!!
	11:24am Frank In Queens: @clarke, the arena is fantastic! Not 100% done, but it's still really fantastic. My seats are great, the arena is plenty loud, plenty of food options and bars. The only problem is they haven't won a home game yet!
	11:25am clarke: ah, SEASON tix - wow!! garbage hockey!!
	11:25am clarke: guess it takes a while for a team to make a place 'home'.
	11:26am Moammar: Ah, swampers cooking here!
	11:27am phat in Lincoln: My God, that rhythm section.
	11:28am G: Was just at the two Muscle Shoals studios that still function as combination museums/studios. Studio drummer Roger Hawkins just died in May.
	11:28am Frank In Queens: The team is being ravaged by COVID right now and a couple of regulars are injured as well. They're basically icing a minor league squad.
	11:28am Mr. Oxford: That is so cool Lou Rawls was harmonizing with Sam Cooke on the original recording!
	11:29am Kotzwinkled: Wait did you make a green bean casserole with morels, Mike?! That'd be fancy.
	11:29am happymaan: LOL, so I messed up, when I was talking about banjo I accidentally had DDR still streaming on my bluetooth. I was showing her that show before and my speaker didn't switch over.
	11:29am Moammar: Aren't the Skeletons adjacent to the Morrells somehow?
	11:29am phat in Lincoln: We could all use more Skeletons.
	11:30am clarke: wow G - i went there as a kid (when the studio was just a studio, but gave tours). there's some cool battlefields around there, Corinth and more.
	11:30am PatrickMC: Reunion supergroup known as the Skells
	11:30am morphe': 2018 Obit: "It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Dorcas Reilly, 92, the creator of one of the most beloved recipes in America, the Green Bean Casserole. Dorcas was an ...." https://www.campbellsoupcompany.com/newsroom/nutrition/memory-american-inventor-dorcas-reilly/
	11:31am Frank In Queens: Happy Birthday to your mom!
	11:32am P-90: Happy Birthday @Grandma Shelley!
	11:32am clarke: hBd Mom!! i hope she is feeliing better, etc.
	11:32am clarke: GOOD CHOICE!!!
	11:32am Handy Haversack: Happy birthday to Mom!
	11:32am Kotzwinkled: Midnight Run! Marvin lookout!
	11:33am Rock Ridge Chess Club: Game Geek chiming in. What games did you guys play?
	11:33am clarke: that movie stands up really really WELL!!
	11:33am morphe': Mikey - ya never mention??? GM Shelley was in/on the Silver Screen???
	11:33am Handy Haversack: Murder spree? Undersea arkology? Bodily assumption to higher spheres of being? Spoil the ending, Michael!
	11:34am P-90: Her name is officially That Girl From Friends Jennifer Anniston
	11:34am Montmaster J: The Duke!
	11:34am Frank In Queens: Pie for breakfast is a big Thanksgiving weekend tradition here in Queens.
	11:34am clarke: kitten-napping!! HH
	11:35am Moammar: I've been doing scrambled eggs with apple pie for breakfast two days running. I'll keep this up till the pie runs out.
	11:35am Mr. Oxford: Song about writing songs? Two Thumbs up!
	11:36am Listener Baby: Baby. When you Johnathan King on years ago, did you guys talk about his work with Genesis? I can’t remember..
	11:36am Frank In Queens: @Moammar, the rule here is that all the pie has to be consumed by the end of the weekend. Gotta get back to normal eating habits before the Xmas gluttony is upon us.
	11:36am clarke: MovieTime has been opened: re-watched The American - one of the finest films of this decade (of not-fine films) Fuzz - the late 60's burt reynolds cop comedy and it's pretty okay.
	11:37am clarke: eh what kinda pie, Frank?
	11:38am Frank In Queens: Didn't have much time for movies this week, but I did manage to rewatch Mulholland Drive on Tuesday.
	11:38am Handy Haversack: K8 made her annual pie. It is more than enough to surfeit any desire for sweets I might have until next year. Chocolate-pecan madness.
	11:39am happymaan: "This sounds like country music from 50's" she says, and my brother is dancing in the kitchen.
	11:39am PatrickMC: A not great Bo Diddley Chess side does not exist
	11:39am Frank In Queens: @clarke, pumpkin pie gets the breakfast treatment, but Christina made a crazy butterscotch apple pie as well this year. That one is strictly for desert though!
	11:39am clarke: is Mulholland the one with jennifer conolly? wow!!
	11:40am clarke: and LOW calorie, ha ha, i assume
	11:41am PatrickMC: More maraca
	11:41am Frank In Queens: There's a great picture of Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry playing at Belmont Park in 1980 hanging in the new arena.
	11:41am Baja Joe: Hello Michael and everyone listening.
	11:41am Frank In Queens: @clarke, no it's the David Lynch film. I think you're thinking of Mulholland Falls.
	11:42am clarke: ah, yer right. i couldn't make it thru M. Drive the first time.
	11:43am Tommy in Neversink: I grew up in NC in the 60s and 70s . Brogans were a popular term for work boots
	11:43am phat in Lincoln: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brogan_(shoes)
	11:43am Mr. Oxford: That pumpkin pie looks delicious!!!
	11:44am Larry 7: I've always thought heard Pro keds.
	11:45am Baja Joe: Now that's a lovely pie.
	11:45am gf2002: Mulholland Falls - The Hat Squad and Nick Nolte smoking the most cigarettes ever smoked during a film...Dwight Shultz is great in that one
	11:45am Handy Haversack: Josie! She played in Brooklyn recently, but K8 had a gig the same night.
	11:46am Listener Baby: Great “Bad” Synth” restraint on this one. All good decisions. Ages super well. Me likely!
	11:46am Johnny 4 Strings: This Josie Cotton tune is, to borrow a phrase, Pure Pop for Now People! Great!
	11:46am Pedro in Arlington: The Elliot Lurie shop is open, for all holiday gift giving. Or you could listen to his interviews in Michael's archive. elliotlurie.com...
	11:46am Frank In Queens: @Handy, at TV Eye. It was a fun show!
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Ahhh, jealous, Frank! But K8's gig was great. We gotta get you to a show. 12/11 at Wonderville? Four bands. C&K at 9.
	11:48am Frank In Queens: @Handy, there's a chance I might go to a family gathering that night. But if not, i'll be at the gig!
	11:49am clarke: jack nitzche on piano here
	11:50am Steve Harsh: Great call on that production credit Michael - that song JUMPED out of my tiny little speakers. Rockin tune!
	11:51am DJ Guin: this crap is HOF worthy? clean ur hippy ears out.
	11:53am ?: MS, what is the name of the Elvis compilation you mentioned?
	11:53am P-90: Paul must have been nothing less than thrilled to hear Elvis & co. jamming on this…
	11:53am happymaan: This song has her singing along Michael. "Nothing like an old Beatles song to remind you of your youth'
	11:53am Frank Zaatar: That's Elvis doing Paul doing Elvis.
	11:55am Mr. Oxford: I knew it was going to be "Mama Tried"! :)
	11:55am Michael Shelley: www.graceland.com...
	11:56am bobsmart567: Is this the closest Michael will come to playing the Dead😊
	11:57am Frank In Queens: Best Monkees song?
	11:57am clarke: yes!! Liverpool seems to be headed for #1'sville!!
	11:57am Biba McLurex: Mike, the hit side of our T dinner was the miso-ginger sweet potatoes, a Deborah Madison recipe in the NY Times. Really terrific.
	11:57am gf2002: YES! I've been on a Monkees kick this past week via YouTube, and this is one of the best they ever did.
	11:58am PatrickMC: Saw Merle play Tramps back in the 90s. Always a unique fashion style to match his awesome band. Kangol hat, Hawaiian shirt and cowboy boots
	11:58am clarke: it's up there, Frank. for sure.
	11:59am Rick from SC: Reminds me of CSNY
	11:59am gf2002: Mike Nesmith was not looking good on their last tour this fall, which is very sad. It was almost like a different person on stage from 2019 to now, and of course he had that serious health emergency where he almost died, but still...
	12:00pm Listener Baby: If one ever feels compelled to see Michael Nesmith live, don’t.
	12:01pm gf2002: I saw him about 7 years ago at the Colonial Theater in PA, and Mike was terrific. Packed house.
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Monkees trax that are essential.
	12:01pm Michael Shelley: happyman: she's invited to co-host if she's ever in Jersey City
	12:02pm Moammar: One of my great triumphs was persuading a wedding band to play a snippet of this in Hunstsville, Alabama. It worked. The couple swiftly reproduced!
	12:02pm Moammar: Just that opening guitar riff gets the zygotes trembling.
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LadyMadonna of course is very FatsDomino.
	12:03pm paul: Thanks, Michael. I will check it out.
	12:04pm PatrickMC: Pinch me is that Lou Rawls singing backup
	12:04pm paul: I love Fats' version of LM.
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: @Baby, I saw Mike play in 2018. It was a decent show; not phenomenal but entertaining and it was just great to see him perform stuff from those First National Band albums. But that was prior to his health issues and COVID of course.
	12:05pm Frank In Queens: Ha, I was just saying to myself "this is one hell of a demo!"
	12:06pm Kotzwinkled: Sitting in Lawrence, Kansas right this moment. I gotta seek out these Shebangs!
	12:07pm gf2002: Shebang was Casey Kasem's TV teen dance show in the 60's
	12:08pm Listener Baby: @Frank. Saw him just pre Covid. Snippets of greatness. Interspersed with him playing a different song than the rest of the band, multiple times. Just kind of sad, that’s all. I recognize his greatness. Which why I really wanted to see him. I guess I missed the boat by a few years.
	12:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thuh HOOTZ
	12:09pm paul: Wasn't She Bangs a song by Ricky Martin?
	12:09pm Listener Baby: I always love The Who more when Pete sings.
	12:09pm Frank In Queens: @Baby, wow i guess things went downhill quite quickly for him in that one year.
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...when Cyndi Lauper cut her hair straight in front...
	12:10pm Listener Baby: Clearly impaired.
	12:11pm phat in Lincoln: Pete Townshend wrote a brilliant song about a deodorant. Fergodsake.
	12:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Damn but Sellout.
	12:11pm Frank In Queens: What more is there to say about The Who Sell Out?
	12:12pm gf2002: That's how Mike was on the fall tour shows I've seen, glimpses of being right on but then some songs and some times where he seemed totally lost, and missing all kinds of cues too.
	12:13pm TimG: Speaking of films: I saw the Velvet Underground doc last night. Though I'm not an aficiando of them or Lou Reed (particularly), it is a very entertaining glimpse into the New York scene in the sixties and the writing "process". We are even more fortunate here (in Chico CA) because Jonathan Richman lives here and answered questions about the time and his connection to the band, which was fascinating. Recommend it. Maybe a little Jonathan is queued up today?
	12:14pm Mr. Oxford: I would be down for Jonathan!
	12:14pm clarke: that richman interview was GREAT!! didn't wanna spoil it, b4 - but, it is a good doc.
	12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Will be interested in Mr. Shelley's impressions of the Get Back series.
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: Thank you for sparing us from fake stereo!
	12:16pm Mr. Oxford: I haven't seen the doc yet but I can imagine the value Jonathan would have brought to the doc. He had very different and unique observations about the band that I don't think many people picked on. It seems like their music moved Jonathan differently.
	12:16pm Pedro in Arlington: Jonathan Richman is crucial to the VU doc. A shame Gerard Malanga didn't participate.
	12:17pm Moammar: Pearl Bailey was a No. 1 Mets fan. Fixture at Shea in the 1969 season.
	12:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dawned on me Jonathan is Lou's little brother from Mass.
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: He drove them around in his parents' station wagon! He spent hundreds of hours with them. Really enjoyed his presence in the doc, and that's super cool that you heard him answer questions about it, TimG.
	12:20pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Tinted Windows are underrated. So much so that even an avowed fan like Michael doesn't spell their name right.
	12:21pm clarke: james iha is some songwriter!!
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: Oh, this Song song is great!
	12:22pm Hughie Considine: The band Girls has to be right up there in the un-Google-alble Hall of Fame.
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: When that Hanson kid make a solo album: Tinted Window
	12:23pm clarke: i should say so! never heard this!! Girls - great band - impossible to google
	12:23pm Listener Baby: There was a winery around here called Twilight. Also a horrible google name. But I think Song takes the cake. Cake, also a bad name in that way.
	12:23pm Handy Haversack: Poor K8 once innocently internet searched a Seattle theater company called Live Girls.
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: I know all about google impossible band names. I've been in 2 if not 3 unsearchable bands.
	12:24pm clarke: ah, but it was The Cake - which is easier to search.
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: In fairness, 2 of them existed before internet searches were so damn important.
	12:25pm Handy Haversack: SEO Speedwagon is still out there!
	12:25pm clarke: you'd think that google would have portals for "song" and "band" or "group" or "artist"
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: clarke, you're assuming Google cares whether you find what you're looking for using is search function. It does not. It cares only about selling what you search for to other companies. It does not want to help us. It wants to sell us.
	12:26pm clarke: well-laminated
	12:27pm Hubig Pie: I would like to join the chorus that Mr. Richman was one of the highlights of the VU doc
	12:27pm Hughie Considine: I witnessed but didn't partake in the classic green bean casserole made with Campbells Mushroom Soup and Durkee French Fried Onion Rings ... an American classic, I guess ... before we learned how not to destroy green beans.
	12:29pm Michael Shelley: I fried up my own shallots for topping - a pain, but worth it!
	12:30pm Listener Baby: You lost me @ shallots, Baby.
	12:30pm clarke: a moment of weakness.
	12:31pm paul: Michigan 7 OSU 0 1st quarter
	12:32pm clarke: ONE!!!
	12:34pm Dominick: Haven't heard this for half a century!
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: Kinda sounds like Shake And Pop/They Called It Rock until the chorus.
	12:36pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: When I DJ'd in Brooklyn Wednesday night I had two different people come up to me with requests...the first one was for Miley Cyrus, the second one was for "Fly Me To The Moon".
	12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So You Wanna Be a #1 Star
	12:36pm clarke: and you only had the first
	12:37pm Mr. Oxford: I vaguely remember The Strypes playing on Letterman in 2013/2014. They all looked like when the rolling stones were young
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Made Galileo look like a boyscout.
	12:38pm clarke: bj hunnicut
	12:38pm Listener Baby: Hey..All you fabulous folks with fabulous taste. Check out a #1 X-Mas classic. Right here. Michael Shelley and Laura Cantrell doing George and Tammy proud. Check this out! linktr.ee...
	12:38pm Michael Shelley: Mr. O. - that's what tipped me to them - they were on fire!
	12:39pm Michael Shelley: THANKS BABY!
	12:39pm morphe': Thanks Mikey and all !!! must get coffee beans and beer = a legal SpeedBall ....
	12:40pm Listener Baby: You should be proud, Baby. It’s excellent!,,
	12:40pm phat in Lincoln: Bring back shoulder pads!
	12:41pm PatrickMC: Did shoulder pads leave?
	12:41pm Montmaster J: Hippies were sleeping in Manor Park, man.
	12:42pm Frank Zaatar: More hippies wrote songs than there were songs about hippies.
	12:42pm Listener Baby: I like the term, “Less clean”
	12:42pm Handy Haversack: They're selling hippie wigs in Woolworth's, man.
	12:43pm PatrickMC: Finally a sentiment for our times. Wash your hands
	12:43pm yippie: all the hippies died
	12:43pm phat in Lincoln: I mean, it's good advice!
	12:43pm Hughie Considine: Long hair was bad because it made you look like a girl and the implication was that you grew it but didn't wash it (dirty hippies).... The proto-hippie archetype was already familiar to Americans by the time the second-wave late-60s hippies showed up -- thanks to Maynard G Krebs and the like
	12:43pm John Pietaro: The Frightened Right rears it ugly head and shuttered mind in every generation. “The Great Unwashed” is just more hate and divisive BS
	12:44pm clarke: the least that you can do is visit a Stuckey's!! (wash yer hands, while there).
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is a valid question. Worth exposition. The range & qualities of Hippiedom. Did 'the 60s' for instance extend to 1974 - what have you... & then the sense it was over in the Haight by mid1967.
	12:44pm DG: TimG: Thought the same thing about the VU doc. (it was playing here in NYC at a rep. theater). Lots of info on that time, the avant-garde scene, etc. & I enjoyed all that, but was puzzled/annoyed by the fact they left out all their reunions: from the Cale/Reed Warhol album (they just showed the cover) to their European tour (which would've come to NYC if the usual conflicts didn't come up again), to their last performance, at their HoF induction, where they did a new song dedicated to S. Morrison.....why not include that? Also did nothing to change the reputation of Reed being a sour, controlling prick. (Oh, and a misguided one---given the fact that he thought Zappa & the Mothers were "hippies"----as if.)
	12:44pm PatrickMC: Yeah but it's still a good song
	12:44pm Michael Shelley: I'd never play a bad song to prove a point!
	12:45pm Montmaster J: www.imdb.com... Hippies on Star Trek! Groovy!
	12:46pm Zinn The Mood: You got it, Shelley! The hippies were easy targets for straight, mainstream society trained to live in fear, a state for which nationalist and “law and order” propaganda thrives. Where are the songs attacking white-collar crime? Good topics to explore. Great show, man!
	12:46pm Mr. Oxford: Jack White thought he smelled a rat. Clarence Carter was sure he smelled a rat!
	12:47pm Corey: Good morning Michael and listeners! Today's show has provided the soundtrack for a treacherous (for the tree) drive home from the xmas tree farm. Will learn to tie a good knot one of these days.
	12:48pm Handy Haversack: You could have had one from Oceana Co. for free, Corey! Though they're pretty wild.
	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Society is a Bad Trip.
	12:48pm Listener Baby: Should Jack White and Jack Black do a duet?
	12:49pm clarke: swell times, here, folks!!! c ya!!
	12:49pm Corey: @Handy Next year! We'll check on the house for you.
	12:50pm paul: Michigan 7 OSU 3 1st quarter
	12:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Did anyone else listen to Pee Wee Herman's radio show last night? It could have been better IMO.
	12:51pm Mr. Oxford: Jack White should sing a song with Jack Black about consuming too much Jack Daniels
	12:51pm Greg from ZONE 5: @Listener Baby: They did! Look up "Don't Blow It, Kage." It's brilliant.
	12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Want Beck Hansen & Jeff Beck to form the Beck Band - or just Beck. Which they could easily do.
	12:51pm Listener Baby: No way..
	12:51pm Frank In Queens: @Todd, I should've listened to that instead of going to the game!
	12:52pm Pedro in Arlington: I agree TOPT. Pee-Wee sounded a bit tiresome.
	12:52pm Mr. Oxford: @Greg, that is brilliant!
	12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jeff Beck Hansen
	12:53pm Frank Zaatar: The answer is that Woody Guthrie wrote about white-collar crime: Some will rob you with a six-gun, And some with a fountain pen.
