	1:37pm TheManWhoLaughs: This may be the most cautionary tale you've ever played
	1:39pm Handy Haversack: Lot of life lessons in that Hell Bound Train song. K8 said she didn't think they applied to her. I nodded grimly.
	1:42pm Brez: Westworld 1973 heart eyes emoji
	1:43pm Cooh John: Remember when "Kojack", "Kolchak", and "Kodiak" were all on?
	1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thot HellBoundTrain was a CharlesBerry original ...but now...
	1:47pm TomTom: Never saw Kodiak, I was watching Planet of the Apes
	🌮 1:47pm Bruce S.: this is loose as a tooth
	1:48pm Mister Dobalina: Rex, I'm interested in talking to you about a career in broadcasting !!
	1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...likewise 'Don't You Lie to Me' - which 'Play With' clearly shares ~%50 of its DNA...

	2:14pm Dolemite: If you don’t dig this mess you done come to the wrong address
	2:14pm ?!: I think Steve franken was like a sidekick comic, I think he even made a movie or two with Jerry Lewis. I'm just joining in, so I missed anything that Rex may have said about him. Hey Rex and fools!
	🌮 2:20pm Hubig Pie: I'd rather have a show-far for my car than a chauffeur for my cur
	🌮 2:22pm Mailman Tom: Esquerita did a killer version of this song

	2:33pm DjLorraine: I'm looking forward to hearing Rex and Dave the Spazz - together!!
	2:34pm ?!: Bruce@1:47- Or loose as a long neck goose.
	2:34pm Rex the Spazz: careful what ya wish for!!
	2:34pm Handy Haversack: I'm looking forward to Rex and Clay, I have to say. Sounds like a party!
	2:34pm Sylvia's Mother: I'm a member of the match generation.
	2:35pm egould310: Finally! Maniacal laughing!
	2:38pm Handy Haversack: "We'll see what happens."
	2:39pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Yay! Rex Tuesday morning !!
	2:40pm sally: that's how I charm the lads
	2:40pm ?!: Dolemite: more like Rex backyard and with a bed sheet hanged out to be projected on.
	🌮 2:40pm Bruce S.: Rex and Clay, thats Going to be Insane
	2:41pm Paula: Do the Hump!
	🌮 2:42pm Bruce S.: I hope Rex isn't cranky at six in the Morning
	2:43pm nightengale: hey now it’s Johnny Cash’s birthday!!!
	2:44pm Handy Haversack: ¡Hola, Stillwell!
	2:44pm Boogaloo Omnibus: Nice tribute to Steven Franken. Here's hoping that soon you will feature Doris Packer, who played Mrs. Chatsworth Osbourne on the Dobie Gillis show. She was great, with her retort, "You nasty, nasty boy!" Also, she taught Uncle Martin how to do the Watusi on an episode of "My Favorite Martian!"
	🌮 2:45pm Bruce S.: this is what I call music
	2:45pm Kermit: now yer Talkin bub!
	2:47pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Hey Handy! Qué tal, hombre!
	2:49pm Cooh John: I was checking out Mdou Moctar recently. Missed him when he came to town.☹️
	2:50pm Handy Haversack: DjLorraine: Mdou Moctar was excellent. The sound was super clean (which, it's BAM, so it better be). I hadn't been to a "sit-down" concert in a while. Thankfully, after a semiacoustic set to start off, when they broke out the full drum kit and really plugged in, Mdou Moctar told everyone to stand up. Thank goodness. The crowd was really into it and was surprisingly young. I have zero idea how ~1,500 25-35-yr-olds heard of Mdou Moctar much less knew the music already and were cheering at all the right spots. I mean, how do they hear about stuff without WFMU? Clueless over here. One real revelation from this show that I never really grokked on the albums: HO.LY. CRAP the drummer. My god, that guy was amazing. I don't know that I've ever seen a drum performance quite like it. Absolutely fascinating and just viscerally exciting and charged. It was great, but it really made me wish we were seeing them in a small room. So jealous of the people who saw them at Monty Hall. We ran into listener Ike, and he came across the street with us and hung out while we had a couple of beers, which was really great. He, K8, and I all had the Pulaski Skyway hoodie on! Also, Mdou Moctar was just here in Sept. The group tours, so hopefully they are near you soon! ¡Todo bien, Stillwell! I was mentioning you last night and your stories of going to shows in Brooklyn in the seventies. So nice to be seeing music again.
	2:51pm ?!: JC's Birthday you say! Well happy birthday to the deceased Man in Black. May your RIP Continue for eternity.
	2:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cash & also Fats Domino - HBD !
	2:52pm TheManWhoLaughs: A little Pete Myers
	🌮 2:52pm Mailman Tom: Tit for tat
	2:53pm Handy Haversack: One of the last things we did before the local world shut down in 2020 was go to the Johnny Cash Birthday Bash that HTRG Becky DJed for. Crazy to think of. Thanks, Rex! Fully recharged with stupid after my afternoon in the slumpin' corner! Much appreciated! Stay browless, pals!
	2:53pm Gord L: Loving the tunes!
	2:54pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Grácias Handy. Those were the days.
	2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Presumed Live Moctar would be amazifying.
	🌮 2:57pm Bruce S.: Rex,Excellent show as always, Thanks enjoy the weekend all
	2:57pm rx scabin: Thank you, Rex.
	2:57pm ?!: And a happy birthday to you too fat man.
	2:57pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Thanks so much Rex!
	2:58pm radioronan: Thanks Rex.. until next time..
	2:58pm Handy Haversack: Not a murder ballad so much as a recrimination boogie-woogie?
	2:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Rex ~
	3:01pm ?!: Thanks for the show tyrannosaurus Rex, don't eat too many people.
