	3:08pm Erica: Hi everyone.
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey Erica!
	🥁 3:12pm dutchtheo: Hey, Larry and Testifettes!!
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: This record was written and produced by David Gates!
	3:12pm Erica: This show couldn't have aired at a more appropriate time as we just lost Ronnie Spector.
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey Theo!
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Yes, indeed
	3:14pm Candy-O'67: I'm so bummed about Ronnie. That one hit me hard. I'm so happy I got to see her perform twice and the first time I was right up front! It was magical both times!!
	🥁 3:14pm dutchtheo: And also Rosa Lee Hawkins of the Dixie Cups
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: I hadn't heard about her.
	🥁 3:17pm Artie: I'm glad we all got to see Ronnie's sunshine.
	3:17pm Erica: Surprisingly more mom who is a baby boomer isn't familiar with the Ronettes despite being a kid when they first came out. Yet people younger than her know of Ronnie Spector (especially from Eddie Money's Take Me Home Tonight and Dirty Dancing.)
	🥁 3:17pm dutchtheo: I didn't know her name, but i liked the Dixie Cups song, Iko, Iko and Chapel of Love
	3:17pm Candy-O'67: Yes, Artie!
	3:17pm Erica: My mom. Sorry.
	3:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey Artie!
	3:25pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry and folks out there!
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	🥁 3:28pm WR: Big Chief don't bow down!
	3:28pm Alvy Singer: Two Way Poc a Way translates from Creole to "Get the hell out the way"
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: Hey Alvy!
	3:30pm Candy-O'67: I've always loved the Dixie Cups, too. What a loss, too!
	3:30pm Candy-O'67: Haha, Alvy! Hi and Hi WR!
	3:31pm Erica: We also lost actor Bob Saget. It seems like too many people are dying already.
	3:31pm Erica: This year.
	3:31pm Candy-O'67: Hey, doctorjazz and Erica, dreamyandseedy, dutchtheo, Cal Zone!
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: That was sad about Saget. He was only 65.
	3:32pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Good afternoon from isolationville...
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: Hey Vincent! How you feeling?
	3:33pm StringOFperils: Hey all, Larry, hope everybody's doing well. Yeah, tough week for people passing away. Calvin Simon, Parliaments vocalist passed too. all things must pass; still, it brings a tear.
	3:34pm Alvy Singer: Hi Candy-0'67
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey String!
	3:35pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I feel fine, Larry... just what feels like I'm getting rid of a cold. I'm more or less milking the clock at work while sitting around the house. Thank goodness for sick pay :)
	3:35pm Erica: You know what makes me feel old Larry? That Full House will be on MeTh this Sunday to pay a tribute to Bob Saget.
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: The thing we have to face is that anyone left from the 50s or 60s music scene is quite old. I was looking for a picture of Georgie Fame yesterday and I was shocked at how old he looked,
	3:37pm Erica: MeTV. Geez these typos.
	3:38pm StringOFperils: Full House on Meth was kinda funny though.
	3:38pm Alvy Singer: @Larry-We all kind of have the same reaction to artist aging or when they pass, only to realize that we are on the next train behind them.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: @Alvy - Ain't that the truth?
	3:42pm Vincent The Soul Chef: WHOA! checks discogs
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, the Laura Lee version is still my fave, but this is great
	3:43pm doctorjazz: Funky Dusty!
	3:43pm Vincent The Soul Chef: The guitar chops though... damn <3
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: Def a heavier take
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: They were NUTS to leave this in the can
	3:47pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I'll say. This one's hot too! I'm not seeing any US releases on that See All Her Faces on Discogs, Larry. How'd you get one?
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: ENGLAND
	3:48pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Okay... all I see are Philips, not that it matters. I'll have one soon enough :)
	3:55pm StringOFperils: Sitars. So pushy.
	3:55pm Erica: Stream went out.
	3:55pm Moog1 Radio: auto playlist took over :(
	3:56pm Candy-O'67: Yep, I was about to say something happened, Erica.
	3:56pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Yeah... that's what I was going to say... :(
	3:56pm StringOFperils: Pops sounding pretty great though. Sorry Della.
	3:57pm Moog1 Radio: Is there inclement weather in NJ today?
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: We lost our internet. Trying a reboot.
	3:59pm Erica: Larry are you still there?
	3:59pm Candy-O'67: It doesn't look like it, Moog. Just checked, sunny and 42 right now
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: I am. Waiting for the router to restart
	3:59pm Erica: Never mind. Yes you are.
	🥁 4:00pm Yvang: Either we lost Larry or Larry lost us!
	4:00pm Sem: Sweet stuff, Larry. Up loud while I'm in the kitchen. Hello, all.
	4:02pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I had to shazam the last track... great pre-empting music. The auto stream really is good
	4:02pm StringOFperils: Larry, you have the best 'hold music' ever. You appreciate our call.
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: Almost back!
	4:05pm Candy-O'67: Hey String! Haha
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: Can you hear me now?
	4:06pm Candy-O'67: Yes!
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: Hot dog!
	4:07pm StringOFperils: Hi, Candy-O! :)
	4:07pm Vincent The Soul Chef: applause... :)
	4:08pm Michael 98145: yes
	4:09pm Erica: Welcome back Larry.
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: Let's hope the internet connection remains stable.
	4:12pm doctorjazz: Not Sweet Jane, huh?
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: It does sound like Sweet Jane, doesn't it?
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: Here's the link to Kip's show: wfmu.org...
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for sticking with me, folks!
	4:14pm doctorjazz: Elvis asked radio stations to stop playing Olivers Army, and he's not going to play it, due to a word he used (fine in context, but causes upset).
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: I saw that.
	4:14pm doctorjazz: Pity, such a great song.
	4:15pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Oh man... I got a lot to say about that, but I'll keep quiet... this cover really is adorable though :)
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: Agreed. I wish he'd just changed the lyric.
	4:16pm Erica: At least he had it taken care of before a controversy occured.
	4:16pm Vincent The Soul Chef: All the years MTV spent playing the video without so much as a whisper from EC back then. Why? Oh hell, I digress.
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: Lind Martell was the first African-American woman to play at the Grand Ole Opry
	4:17pm Moog1 Radio: digging the Coral Electric Sitar!
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, 40 years is a long time to make up your mind that it's controversial. Better late than never, I guess.
	4:17pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Oh WOW!
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: This is a great album. Couple of soul covers, too: www.discogs.com...
	4:19pm StringOFperils: Times have changed. Not even sure Richard Pryor would still say "I can use that word, You can't." It's loaded with a whole shit-ton of very real pain.
	4:19pm Michael 98145: colonialism was worse than words. ...
	4:25pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Noted, Larry. I was reading a bit on a RS article... I'm very interested.
	4:34pm Mike Sin: Hey folks! Side comment -- here's something that's changed in 50 years-- In 1966, Lennon gets called out for his comments on Christianity in an issue on Datebook. Did you ever see the McCartney pull quote that appeared on the cover of the same issue of the mag? Didn't even raise an eyebrow....
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike! I never saw the Paul quote. What was it?
	4:35pm Mike Sin: @Funky16Corners -- i0.wp.com...
	4:36pm Funky16Corners: Oh wow, though I assume he was being critical of the US.
	4:39pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Is there even a shred of context there... I honestly read that quote as meaning he was angry at people who perceived Black people to be (expletive). Paul can't be that crazy... I dunno'... wow.
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: That was my read as well
	4:40pm Mike Sin: @Funky -- That whole issue quotes previous interviews out of context, but yes, that was McCartney's complaint. It's just easy to forget how easy the word was thrown around whether it was being used in a derogatory manner or not. That fact that it appeared in pull quotes of a teen mag is pretty astonishing 50 years later.
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Len Barry with his Karnak turban on about how "English groups won't last!"
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - where was that magazine published?
	4:42pm StringOFperils: Today probably won't look too rosy in retrospect either. Mind you, the diabolical irresponsible new ways that language is being used to frame everything makes me wonder if we'll be here at all sometimes.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, we're living in the Golden Age of bullshit. So much pumped into our ears via TV, cable is agenda-driven half/non truth, and a lot of folks are not equipped to sort it all out
	4:44pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Exactly that...
	4:44pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Damn shame too...
	4:45pm Mike Sin: @Funky -- That mag was publsihed somewhere in the US. Don't know for sure -- But, Danny Fields (yes, that Danny Fields) was the managing editor and pulled the quotes and Art Unger put them on the cover.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: I was watching a doc series on Q-Anon this morning, and I cannot believe the utter horseshit that people are marinating in. It's especially dangerous with that stuff, where they believe that half the world are satanic baby eaters
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - Thanks!
	4:48pm StringOFperils: Hard to appeal to reason when you can't even find any
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Seriously, where's the jumping off point when somebody is already 95% insane?
	4:49pm Doug Schulkind: Testify! It's like tacos for the ears!
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: Here's the link to Kip's show again: wfmu.org...
	4:53pm StringOFperils: Tacos for the ears sent my mind sideways. Probably a good thing to put that thing in a different space.
	4:53pm doctorjazz: I started a bit of trouble here, I see. Anyway, thanks Larry!
	4:55pm Michael 98145: @SoP, 4:48, well-said
	4:55pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Thank you all for the music and the education... be well, and that last track though... <3
	🥁 4:56pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry! Like beers for the ears!
	4:56pm Erica: Oh boy. Can't wait for the English show. 🇬🇧
	4:57pm Erica: Thanks for the show Larry.
	4:57pm StringOFperils: Thank you Larry. Thanks everyone!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone!
	🥁 4:57pm Yvang: Thanks, Larry! And be well! Your show is medicine to my ears!
	4:57pm CalZone!: Great show LG! TY!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Yvang!
	4:57pm Candy-O'67: Thx, Larry! Enjoyed it today! Have a great weekend!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Cal!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thank you Candy-O!
	4:58pm Michael 98145: Thank you!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Michael!

	4:06pm Candy-O'67: Yes!
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: Hot dog!
	4:07pm StringOFperils: Hi, Candy-O! :)
	4:07pm Vincent The Soul Chef: applause... :)
	4:08pm Michael 98145: yes
	4:09pm Erica: Welcome back Larry.
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: Let's hope the internet connection remains stable.
	4:12pm doctorjazz: Not Sweet Jane, huh?
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: It does sound like Sweet Jane, doesn't it?
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: Here's the link to Kip's show: wfmu.org...
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for sticking with me, folks!
	4:14pm doctorjazz: Elvis asked radio stations to stop playing Olivers Army, and he's not going to play it, due to a word he used (fine in context, but causes upset).
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: I saw that.
	4:14pm doctorjazz: Pity, such a great song.
	4:15pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Oh man... I got a lot to say about that, but I'll keep quiet... this cover really is adorable though :)
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: Agreed. I wish he'd just changed the lyric.
	4:16pm Erica: At least he had it taken care of before a controversy occured.
	4:16pm Vincent The Soul Chef: All the years MTV spent playing the video without so much as a whisper from EC back then. Why? Oh hell, I digress.
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: Lind Martell was the first African-American woman to play at the Grand Ole Opry
	4:17pm Moog1 Radio: digging the Coral Electric Sitar!
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, 40 years is a long time to make up your mind that it's controversial. Better late than never, I guess.
	4:17pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Oh WOW!
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: This is a great album. Couple of soul covers, too: www.discogs.com...
	4:19pm StringOFperils: Times have changed. Not even sure Richard Pryor would still say "I can use that word, You can't." It's loaded with a whole shit-ton of very real pain.
	4:19pm Michael 98145: colonialism was worse than words. ...
	4:25pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Noted, Larry. I was reading a bit on a RS article... I'm very interested.
	4:34pm Mike Sin: Hey folks! Side comment -- here's something that's changed in 50 years-- In 1966, Lennon gets called out for his comments on Christianity in an issue on Datebook. Did you ever see the McCartney pull quote that appeared on the cover of the same issue of the mag? Didn't even raise an eyebrow....
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike! I never saw the Paul quote. What was it?
	4:35pm Mike Sin: @Funky16Corners -- i0.wp.com...
	4:36pm Funky16Corners: Oh wow, though I assume he was being critical of the US.
	4:39pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Is there even a shred of context there... I honestly read that quote as meaning he was angry at people who perceived Black people to be (expletive). Paul can't be that crazy... I dunno'... wow.
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: That was my read as well
	4:40pm Mike Sin: @Funky -- That whole issue quotes previous interviews out of context, but yes, that was McCartney's complaint. It's just easy to forget how easy the word was thrown around whether it was being used in a derogatory manner or not. That fact that it appeared in pull quotes of a teen mag is pretty astonishing 50 years later.
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Len Barry with his Karnak turban on about how "English groups won't last!"
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - where was that magazine published?
	4:42pm StringOFperils: Today probably won't look too rosy in retrospect either. Mind you, the diabolical irresponsible new ways that language is being used to frame everything makes me wonder if we'll be here at all sometimes.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, we're living in the Golden Age of bullshit. So much pumped into our ears via TV, cable is agenda-driven half/non truth, and a lot of folks are not equipped to sort it all out
	4:44pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Exactly that...
	4:44pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Damn shame too...
	4:45pm Mike Sin: @Funky -- That mag was publsihed somewhere in the US. Don't know for sure -- But, Danny Fields (yes, that Danny Fields) was the managing editor and pulled the quotes and Art Unger put them on the cover.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: I was watching a doc series on Q-Anon this morning, and I cannot believe the utter horseshit that people are marinating in. It's especially dangerous with that stuff, where they believe that half the world are satanic baby eaters
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - Thanks!
	4:48pm StringOFperils: Hard to appeal to reason when you can't even find any
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Seriously, where's the jumping off point when somebody is already 95% insane?
	4:49pm Doug Schulkind: Testify! It's like tacos for the ears!
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: Here's the link to Kip's show again: wfmu.org...
	4:53pm StringOFperils: Tacos for the ears sent my mind sideways. Probably a good thing to put that thing in a different space.
	4:53pm doctorjazz: I started a bit of trouble here, I see. Anyway, thanks Larry!
	4:55pm Michael 98145: @SoP, 4:48, well-said
	4:55pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Thank you all for the music and the education... be well, and that last track though... <3
	🥁 4:56pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry! Like beers for the ears!
	4:56pm Erica: Oh boy. Can't wait for the English show. 🇬🇧
