	3:10pm ojai John: 3 songs in and I’m already happy!
	3:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Prettiest Star" by "David Bowie" About Bolan ? One hears this about a few Bowie songs...
	3:10pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "The Prettiest Star" by "David Bowie" This is a song that I always felt would have fit well on Twin Peaks
	3:11pm Dominick: Oh man, stuffed artichokes!

	3:46pm tom tom the pipers son: story of bolan, bowie, and visconti sitting around listening to brian wilson/ bb... true

	3:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:46 true?
	3:49pm Paul: Hi to Tony from the crew at Triple S.
	3:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Subway (Smokey Pokey World)" by "The Tickle" Well this is great.
	3:55pm Robm: ↳ Song: "Magdalene (My Regal Zonophone)" by "Procol Harum" great song
	3:57pm thewhodidthis: 🍋🍋🍋
	3:57pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: This is fascinating.
	3:59pm Will: My favorite LP ever is THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD by Bowie. Great bass-heavy production and scorching guitar all over.
	3:59pm tom tom the pipers son: strings make the song, not a bit saccharine
	4:00pm Marko: The late Carl Wayne on vocals?
	4:00pm Matt Clarke: ↳ Song: "Say You Don't Mind" by "Denny Laine" THE BEST
	👻 4:01pm nealac: ↳ Matt Clarke @4:00 I must agree with you!
	4:02pm listener phat in Lincoln: I have to say my favorite drum sounds (maybe to get a little obscure) is early 70s British rock records, Bowie especially.
	4:02pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Say You Don't Mind" by "Denny Laine" This is awesome
	4:02pm listener phat in Lincoln: Denny Laine needs more love
	4:03pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Marko @4:00 Bingo!
	4:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "The Man Who Sold The World" by "David Bowie" Seriously, listen to that rhythm track, fergodssake.
	4:04pm Sylvia's Mother: I hope you ask him about Caravan's "Better By Far"!
	4:04pm steveo: Oops I forgot this wasn't originally a Nirvana sing
	4:04pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Say You Don't Mind" by "Denny Laine" I'm sure I've heard a digital mix of this but this sounds like the actual item. DIGGIN IT
	4:05pm ?: ↳ Song: "The Man Who Sold The World" by "David Bowie" the bass on this whole album is just exquisite
	4:06pm DG: Wow, had NO idea that song was The Move, sounds nothing like them (or at least the louder, gutitar-laden stuff I'm used to). Funny doo-wop singles too
	4:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ @4:05 Damn straight.
	4:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What I read / heard was Tony skipped 'Space Oddity' cause it sounded too derivative of Lennon or PaulSimon (?) or something... Some other data today !...
	4:12pm Victrola Tom: Love me some Denny Lane, solo, Wings, Moodies, or otherwise!
	4:14pm Victrola Tom: I know, Laine! I hate my fat thumbs!
	4:14pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Subway (Smokey Pokey World)" by "The Tickle" Sounded great
	👻 4:16pm rx scabin: Todd.
	👻 4:18pm rx scabin: Heavens.
	4:19pm P-90: There’s almost a Donovan-like sound on some of these early T. Rex tracks
	4:19pm tom tom the pipers son: a while back, heard debora playing intrader joe's, bit of a surprise
	4:22pm DG: ↳ P-90 @4:19 Yes....when I first heard T. Rex, I thought they sounded like an electric, more sex-and-outer-space--obsessed version of Donovan.
	4:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ P-90 @4:19 i.pinimg.com...
	4:22pm Jess: Wow I’m still just so crazy in love with Bolan!!!
	4:22pm Creature Boy: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:19 I think Bolan really found himself when he stepped out of that folk/Donovan "bag" . Then again, Donovan did the same thing. There's a proto glam thing goin on w Sunshine Superman ...so....nevermind 🤪
	4:22pm tom tom the pipers son: always thought t-rex had a doo wop influence... visconti's influence
	4:22pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Ride A White Swan" by "Tyrannosaurus Rex" Such a groove, plus a weirdo mercurial guitar style - can’t miss. Dig it 👍
	4:23pm Will: Mick Wayne! Love that Junior's Eyes LP (1969). Tony produced that too, it's a weird, druggy record with loads of imagination and a sidelong track.
	4:23pm tom tom the pipers son: influence(?)
	4:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Hot Love" by "T. Rex" Such great backup vocals.
	4:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:22 is that thurston moore in foreground? ;)
	4:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always interested in getting more granular on those liminal ~ transitional stages - like Psych into Glam...
	4:24pm Frank Zaatar: I remember an article in the Soho Daily News that used Tyrannosaurus as a definition of twee. The backlash was pretty much immediate.
	4:25pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Hot Love" by "T. Rex" Love this tune!!! So simple and pure...
	4:25pm tadpoles: ↳ Song: "Ride A White Swan" by "Tyrannosaurus Rex" One thing I remember about the T.Rex singles at this time they would give you 3 songs per record. All great and great value. Thanks for this interview Todd...loving it all.
	4:25pm Creature Boy: I'm sure Todd will get into the whole Flo & Eddie thing which is astounding to me
	4:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Thurston thinking ...someday I'll be as tall as both of youse put together...
	4:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:25 ha!
	4:26pm JReganK: Greetings, all! Someone save me a meatball!
	4:27pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Mambo Sun" by "T. Rex" Not a speck of dust on this mf’er, hasn’t aged a day. This is ACES
	4:27pm common: todd. fantastic
	4:27pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Mambo Sun" by "T. Rex" Listen to those drums! Good lord.
	4:27pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Mambo Sun" by "T. Rex" 🌟 🐢 🌟 🐢 🌟 🐢 🌟 🐢 🌟
	4:27pm P-90: @DG: good description
	4:29pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Mambo Sun" by "T. Rex" There was a time when you'd find copies of Electric Warrior everytime you'd go into a thrift store. A HIT RECORD
	4:30pm listener phat in Lincoln: I think my ex wife shared a love of Tony Visconti as much as anything else. Sigh.
	4:30pm P-90: And yes, Bolan and Donovan both evolved out of that English folk-rock-pop thing, that started at least partly with a fascination with Dylan, whose influence was inescapable at that time
	4:32pm love2laf: Missed the first hour, but have loved the 30 minutes, and will catch up in the archives. Thank you Todd-o-phonic Todd, thank you Tony Visconti, this is just amazing. The music, the memories, the mic breaks. Hello accu people, hope you're enjoying this :)
	4:33pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Metal Guru" by "T. Rex" Was just thinking about how Big Star covered Baby Strange . Guru's British flip side
	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Donovan was earlier than anyone in the UK I think in that space twixt Folk & Psych - & with that Whimsical ~ Ethereal element. An authentic pioneer. There was Donovan before even Syd Barrett. Bolan was a Mod earlier - as was Bowie & most of them...
	👻 4:34pm rx scabin: At the risk of repeating my self, Heavens.
	4:34pm SSS: I saw The Electric Flo and Eddie at the Commack arena. I loved them (and the Turtles!), but they were chased from the stage via a thrown bottle to Eddie's head (it connected). Their we better than all else act was weird. And Hot Tuna was the headliner. poor fellows. Jorma was careful after that, but he did say we should have let them finish.
	4:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: Best yelled "yeah!" in the business.
	4:35pm love2laf: ↳ rx scabin @4:34 I think that's appropriate, and to repeat every few minutes. Heavens.
	4:35pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ rx scabin @4:34 Yep
	4:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Teenage Dream" by "Marc Bolan and T. Rex" sounds like a tip of the cap to bowie
	4:36pm love2laf: Wait a minute, these 45s are remarkably clean sounding, little fuzzy on Teenage Dream, who has these 45s? Todd, Tony, or the station?
	4:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ love2laf @4:36 These are my copies.
	4:38pm Will: @RRNov63: Agree about Donovan's place in history.
	4:38pm love2laf: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:37 Wow, remarkably excellent, and clean sounding, boggling my ears!
	4:38pm glamrock90: Marc Bolen ! Thank you for this music ! and Todd O phonic for bringing us these memories back to your loyal listeners. ♥️
	4:38pm DG: Having seen lots of Bolan videos & concert footage, watching him bop around on stage singing sometimes-suggestive lyrics, I am pretty sure (although I haven't heard anyone say it) he influenced another short guy, from Minneapolis.....
	4:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ DG @4:38 Al Franken?
	👻 4:40pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:39 a true fashion icon
	4:40pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Teenage Dream" by "Marc Bolan and T. Rex" You can tell Prince was a fan of T. Rex, more than a few ideas lifted here for his “Pop Life” single.
	4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ DG @4:38 Interesting point.
	👻 4:43pm John L: I missed part of the show, so I don't know if it was discussed, but has Mr Visconti ever thought about an expanded edition of his autobiography?
	4:43pm P-90: Safe to say that Bolan influenced both Prince and Franken to some degree
	4:44pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Dear old Blighty was a dreary country in comparison to the US back then!
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...cause Bolan was good enuff ...he was smart enuff - & gawshdarnit - people liked him...
	4:49pm listener phat in Lincoln: That Rolls Royce line is one of my favorites.
	4:53pm listener phat in Lincoln: How, incredibly poignant
	4:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:45 up to a point, i guess
	4:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: Good lord, what a band.
	👻 4:56pm Hoboken Jack: I promised I would do a shot at any mention of Barone!
	4:58pm Victrola Tom: This show is like a glam-rock starter kit!
	4:59pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "Smart Phone" by "Tony Visconti" Well this could not be any tastier! Can't imagine what the whole album will sound like.
	5:00pm Victrola Tom: We need a full album of this Tony!!
	5:02pm JReganK: ↳ Song: "Around and Around" by "David Bowie and The Spider... RIP, Bowie and Beck!
	5:02pm PB: As great as Bowie once was (at least through the mid-70s)his covers were generally horrible.
	5:02pm Creature Boy: Almost forgot that we had a Bowie chapter still
	5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MickRonson's idol JeffBeck ! Yeah too much. The yARdbiRdS From Mars...
	5:03pm DG: "T. Rex.....now, that’s a good band, now he’s getting—buy a couple of his records—he’s getting fat with worry." ---Dr. Winston O'Boogie
	5:03pm JReganK: ↳ PB @5:02 Shouldn't talk ill of the dead
	5:03pm Creature Boy: ↳ PB @5:02 au contraire
	5:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: 🙄🙄
	5:04pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "Around and Around" by "David Bowie and The Spider... I'm unashamedly loving this. Beck & Bowie together, heavens!* *TM rx scabin
	5:04pm DonJuanTijuana: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:37 Am a huge fan of Wings!
	5:04pm Roxy: Hi Todd! You have the same exact taste in music that I do! I absolutely “LOVE, LOVE,LOVE” your Show!!! “Thank You” sooooo much for having all of the Guests that you have on! I love listening to Tony talk about stuff like Marc Bolan’s early instruments…and recording with them. You ask great questions Todd!! Keep on Rockin’!!!!
	5:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: More Denny Laine!
	5:05pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Roxy @5:04 Thanks Roxy!!!
	5:06pm listener phat in Lincoln: This has been a real treat.
	5:06pm P-90: Jet is one of the most almost bizarrely original pop songs ever. When I hear it I always wonder “where the hell did this COME from?!”
	5:06pm glamrock90: Thank you, Todd, for the ride down memory lane this beautiful Saturday afternoon
	5:07pm Creature Boy: David's Pin Ups just gets richer and richer as the years go by. Great covers
	5:07pm PB: I’ve always wondered that too, but not in a positive way.
	5:07pm P-90: It’s brilliant, all of the choices about the composition, arrangement, production are so original and truly accomplished
	5:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Creature Boy @5:07 Agreed.
	5:07pm StringOFperils: ↳ P-90 @5:06 I was just thinking more or less the same thing; when this stuff would show up it would just clear off all the old air in the room. Re-inventing pop, and self in Macca's case
	5:08pm Juli: J came from Martin Guitar FEST
	5:09pm P-90: those dub rhythm guitar chicks, the strings that appear from nowhere at the end to bring the song to a landing… all of it
	5:09pm Juli: My father & I sang Feeling Groovy & I wore my What Was Music? FMU Shirt!!!
	5:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was just reading this about Mick Ronson from GuitarWorld : www.guitarworld.com...
	5:09pm Juli: Lols. It was really cute.
	5:10pm love2laf: ↳ Juli @5:09 Hello Juli, sounds like a lovely outing, and fun!
	5:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: Great show with Vincent today, Todd. I guess the Randy Meisner tribute show will happen soon.
	5:10pm Juli: ↳ love2laf @5:10 Freaking too hot but I had fun. Ty!
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + Big Ups to PinUps +
	5:12pm PB: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:11 👎
	5:12pm love2laf: ↳ Juli @5:10 I am glad of it being fun, and you doing it despite the heat :)
	5:13pm Van Winkle ;-): Five and "ten cents" instead of dime...so "across the pond"...
	5:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: 🙄🙄🙄🙄
	👻 5:13pm Hoboken Jack: Absolutely loving this wide-ranging interview! Will be listening to the rest in the car so I'll say my thanks now, TOPT!
	5:13pm Juli: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @5:13 Describe what you are feeling?
	5:15pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:11 Agreed. Was actually my first Bowie LP purchase from babysitter money. No internet... obviously...so I was clueless that they were covers. But I sure loved the songs and production.
	5:15pm johnk77: great work selecter/interviewer rip randy meisner here is nytimes obit link https://tinyurl.com/2p86xz8c
	5:16pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Juli @5:13 I just think it's silly to claim that Bowie didn't do good covers. Wild is the Wind and Kingdom Come both prove that wrong
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Badfinger Boogie' was a kind of stock goof phrase with TheBeatles ...Beatlespeak...
	5:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: And Sorrow? Just the backup vocals on that are enough.
	5:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hence 🙄🙄🙄🙄
	5:17pm JReganK: This interview's insane!
	5:18pm listener phat in Lincoln: This show has been fantastic.
	5:18pm StringOFperils: Badfinger sounds like something McCartney would say. Like, Butterpie.
	5:18pm efd: "Can you believe this guy?" is the most apt set break title in the history of WFMU playlists.
	5:18pm Juli: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @5:16 Understood:::}}}
	5:18pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ efd @5:18 Yep
	5:18pm love2laf: ↳ efd @5:18 Agreed!
	5:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: PinUps - the selection, the arrangements & performances ...& Tributes long since become stock - so prescient. What's not to love. Some critique it as lazy of Bowie to not do more originals. But I think it was like his second album that year !...
	5:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @5:18 Broadly applicable.
	5:20pm Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "Dear Angie" by "Badfinger" They were amazing. Straight Up is such a masterpiece. Great to hear about Phil! More Lizzy stories!
	5:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: Lol. Two days!
	5:21pm Creature Boy: He was married to Mary Hopkins!?
	5:22pm Frank Zaatar: Talk about burying the lede!
	5:22pm love2laf: Two days?! Holy crap! With just a few lines and whistles?!
	5:22pm tom tom the pipers son: jet has that amazing drone in the background that runs through whole song
	5:22pm P-90: I think it’s safe to say that Visconti doesn’t get interviewed at quite this level of depth of interest and context that often.
	5:22pm Juli: Ooo I know nothing about these peeps Cool interview.
	5:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: Ok. I might be sold on these remixes now. Not that I was opposed.
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: UK Engineers being serious lab-coated types back then def a double-edged situation...
	5:25pm Yapper: Visconti is a true fountain of knowledge and has superb storytelling skills to share it. Amazing interview. Thanks Todd!
	👻 5:25pm John L: I was a big Strawbs fan in high school and have been revisiting the Visconti-produced From The Witchwood. To my ears it is their best LP.
	5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...more Strawbs I hear more I wanna hear...
	5:26pm Juli: Once I have $ There will be gud musick.
	5:26pm chresti: Hi Todd O, been enjoying the T Rex, and Tony talk!
	5:27pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Sound and Vision" by "David Bowie" Holy hell this never, ever, ever ceases to make me gasp. Good God. Like, every single part of it. All of it.
	5:28pm DG: ↳ Creature Boy @5:21 Yes, and then May Pang.
	5:28pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Sound and Vision" by "David Bowie" Mary Hopkins again? Jeez! Thx for the show Todd ... all this stuff is endlessly fascinating
	5:28pm ChrisB.: This is such a treat for real music geeks!
	5:29pm efd: ↳ Song: "Sound and Vision" by "David Bowie" Not that you haven't been asking great questions already, Todd, but I'd love to hear Tony talk for a few minutes about the great Dennis Davis.
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ DG @5:28 - MayPang who has a new film out ('Lost Weekend')...
	5:29pm Roxy: Wow! I didn’t know Tony was involved in this Song! One of my favorite later Songs by Bowie! Great Guitar riff all throughout!!!… who played that Earl Slick?
	5:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ efd @5:29 Good call!
	5:29pm StringOFperils: Who gets Tony Visconti to do an interview?!! Todd-O-Phonic Coup. I can't believe you can just contact these people....__signed: impressed in the boondocks
	5:29pm Chris Hiatt: Amazing interview, just amazing. I always wanted to know more about Tony's career, now I do in spades. Rock 'n' Roll royalty. Thanks for hooking this up, Todd-o-phonic Todd!
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Sound and Vision" by "David Bowie" ...& it's just about watching television :D ...
	5:30pm steveo: So great to hear this interview with Tony today. Really filling in some holes in my education 🙂
	👻 5:30pm Will thee Sound Guy: Been listening, absolutely killin it Todd-O-Phonic Todd and Tony Visconti!!! 💯🔥📻

	5:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: This has been reinvigorating. I'm renting a new practice space soon and I think it's time to just start making records again.
	👻 5:32pm nealac: So much greatness on the TOPT show today! Thanks!
	5:33pm Ochre Ogre: I hope to hear Tony's story of the making Heroes, the song, in Berlin.
	5:33pm Roxy: I hope WFMU is giving you a salary for this GREAT Show!!
	5:34pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "Sound and Vision" by "David Bowie" Oh man this album!
	5:34pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "China Girl" by "Iggy Pop" And this one!
	5:35pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: a song This is probably the greatest single ever recorded.
	5:35pm Roxy: Love this!!!and the Sound quality is EXCELLENT!!!
	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: a song - with the different levels of gated vocals & everything. Somebody was very very smart & creative...
	5:35pm Another DS: Great show!
	5:35pm JReganK: ↳ Juli @5:22 You're listening to an interview with a living legend

	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @5:35 Anthem.
	5:36pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "China Girl" by "Iggy Pop" Life changing event...winning tickets...off the radio...to go to Iggy's Idiot tour spring '77...with Bowie smoking & tinkling away on his piano and some strange opener act...Blondie. On a school night too... No turning back after that... ;-)
	5:36pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: a song Hope for the future, in dystopian times.
	5:36pm listener phat in Lincoln: I spend a substantial amount of time trying to cop Fripp's guitar sound from this very record .
	5:37pm P-90: Fripp insists there was no Ebow or similar device used on the guitar, but cagey about just how he did play those parts
	5:37pm StringOFperils: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @5:36 Get two Revox-A77s and loop them

	5:41pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, the memories! Both Chresti and I were at the Iggy show with David on keyboards in April 1977 at The Santa Monica Civic, five years before we met. I saw David exactly a year later at The Forum in L.A. when he was touring Heroes. I want to cry.

	5:42pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Ochre Ogre @5:42 I need to watch that. I've read bits.
	5:42pm johnk77: rip roy young pianist on low most amazing combination musician/card shark i ever met
	5:43pm StringOFperils: That WAS one of the finest SNL moments. Life-changer.
	5:43pm DG: Could someone identify all the people in that photo? Looks like Sunday dinner at Ms. Visconti's....I see Marc B. but not sure of the others....
	5:43pm listener phat in Lincoln: I still think part of Bowie's genius (and I'm not the first to say this) is his ability to enlist genius
	5:44pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ stevej @5:41 Impeccable tastes...and talents!!! We are very fortunate.
	5:44pm Juli: What an amazing song. What an amazing life !!!

	👻 5:53pm John L: When I owned a record store one of my customers was the late, great Frank Kimbrough. He played on the original version of Sue (Or in a Season of Crime). He had nothing but great things to say about the session. I didn't want to geek out too much, so I held back on details. In retrospect I wish I had, and Frank was a super nice guy.
	5:55pm Random Control: Such a great interview, Todd! That comment about Bowie and Uncle Floyd made me think you should have Floyd Vivino on as a guest some time! I know he wasn't exactly a rocker, but he was there with CBGBs giving exposure to the great bands of that time. My friend and I would watch the show religiously and we saw the Ramones several times. He must have some stories.
	5:56pm Chop Scott: Bravo Boss!

	5:57pm P-90: Always thought Thin Lizzy’s way of arranging guitar parts in songs, and their guitar tones, were more influential on players and bands that followed than they get credit for.
	5:57pm JR HTX: Best ever interview, show and music!!!! Thank you so much Todd and Tony. Loved it!!!!
	👻 5:57pm TonyR: Yay Todd and TV!!
	5:57pm MFlynn: Thanks Todd! Fantastic interview and discussion!
	5:57pm Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "Dancing in the Moonlight" by "Thin Lizzy" Thanks, Todd! Great quote from Tony about them being the hardest rocking band he’d ever worked with. Heard that story about Live & Dangerous, from Tony himself! Long story. But met him through his wife at time, May Pang, who used to come up to the office where I worked in the 90’s. She ultimately invited me to their home for a party. Jammed with his Dad, who was an amazing harmonica player, in their basement. Great show! Thanks!
	5:57pm Juli: A Perfect Song.
	5:57pm Roxy: 🥰🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸💗💗💗
	5:57pm Annette: Thanks again Todd & Tony !

	3:55pm Robm: ↳ Song: "Magdalene (My Regal Zonophone)" by "Procol Harum" great song
	3:57pm thewhodidthis: 🍋🍋🍋
	3:57pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: This is fascinating.
	3:59pm Will: My favorite LP ever is THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD by Bowie. Great bass-heavy production and scorching guitar all over.
	3:59pm tom tom the pipers son: strings make the song, not a bit saccharine
	4:00pm Marko: The late Carl Wayne on vocals?
	4:00pm Matt Clarke: ↳ Song: "Say You Don't Mind" by "Denny Laine" THE BEST
	👻 4:01pm nealac: ↳ Matt Clarke @4:00 I must agree with you!
	4:02pm listener phat in Lincoln: I have to say my favorite drum sounds (maybe to get a little obscure) is early 70s British rock records, Bowie especially.
	4:02pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Say You Don't Mind" by "Denny Laine" This is awesome
	4:02pm listener phat in Lincoln: Denny Laine needs more love
	4:03pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Marko @4:00 Bingo!
	4:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "The Man Who Sold The World" by "David Bowie" Seriously, listen to that rhythm track, fergodssake.
	4:04pm Sylvia's Mother: I hope you ask him about Caravan's "Better By Far"!
	4:04pm steveo: Oops I forgot this wasn't originally a Nirvana sing
	4:04pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Say You Don't Mind" by "Denny Laine" I'm sure I've heard a digital mix of this but this sounds like the actual item. DIGGIN IT
	4:05pm ?: ↳ Song: "The Man Who Sold The World" by "David Bowie" the bass on this whole album is just exquisite
	4:06pm DG: Wow, had NO idea that song was The Move, sounds nothing like them (or at least the louder, gutitar-laden stuff I'm used to). Funny doo-wop singles too
	4:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ @4:05 Damn straight.
	4:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What I read / heard was Tony skipped 'Space Oddity' cause it sounded too derivative of Lennon or PaulSimon (?) or something... Some other data today !...
	4:12pm Victrola Tom: Love me some Denny Lane, solo, Wings, Moodies, or otherwise!
	4:14pm Victrola Tom: I know, Laine! I hate my fat thumbs!
	4:14pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Subway (Smokey Pokey World)" by "The Tickle" Sounded great
	👻 4:16pm rx scabin: Todd.
	👻 4:18pm rx scabin: Heavens.
	4:19pm P-90: There’s almost a Donovan-like sound on some of these early T. Rex tracks
	4:19pm tom tom the pipers son: a while back, heard debora playing intrader joe's, bit of a surprise
	4:22pm DG: ↳ P-90 @4:19 Yes....when I first heard T. Rex, I thought they sounded like an electric, more sex-and-outer-space--obsessed version of Donovan.
	4:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ P-90 @4:19 i.pinimg.com...
	4:22pm Jess: Wow I’m still just so crazy in love with Bolan!!!
	4:22pm Creature Boy: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:19 I think Bolan really found himself when he stepped out of that folk/Donovan "bag" . Then again, Donovan did the same thing. There's a proto glam thing goin on w Sunshine Superman ...so....nevermind 🤪
	4:22pm tom tom the pipers son: always thought t-rex had a doo wop influence... visconti's influence
	4:22pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Ride A White Swan" by "Tyrannosaurus Rex" Such a groove, plus a weirdo mercurial guitar style - can’t miss. Dig it 👍
	4:23pm Will: Mick Wayne! Love that Junior's Eyes LP (1969). Tony produced that too, it's a weird, druggy record with loads of imagination and a sidelong track.
	4:23pm tom tom the pipers son: influence(?)
	4:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Hot Love" by "T. Rex" Such great backup vocals.
	4:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:22 is that thurston moore in foreground? ;)
	4:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always interested in getting more granular on those liminal ~ transitional stages - like Psych into Glam...
	4:24pm Frank Zaatar: I remember an article in the Soho Daily News that used Tyrannosaurus as a definition of twee. The backlash was pretty much immediate.
	4:25pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Hot Love" by "T. Rex" Love this tune!!! So simple and pure...
	4:25pm tadpoles: ↳ Song: "Ride A White Swan" by "Tyrannosaurus Rex" One thing I remember about the T.Rex singles at this time they would give you 3 songs per record. All great and great value. Thanks for this interview Todd...loving it all.
	4:25pm Creature Boy: I'm sure Todd will get into the whole Flo & Eddie thing which is astounding to me
	4:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Thurston thinking ...someday I'll be as tall as both of youse put together...
	4:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:25 ha!
	4:26pm JReganK: Greetings, all! Someone save me a meatball!
	4:27pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Mambo Sun" by "T. Rex" Not a speck of dust on this mf’er, hasn’t aged a day. This is ACES
	4:27pm common: todd. fantastic
	4:27pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Mambo Sun" by "T. Rex" Listen to those drums! Good lord.
	4:27pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Mambo Sun" by "T. Rex" 🌟 🐢 🌟 🐢 🌟 🐢 🌟 🐢 🌟
	4:27pm P-90: @DG: good description
	4:29pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Mambo Sun" by "T. Rex" There was a time when you'd find copies of Electric Warrior everytime you'd go into a thrift store. A HIT RECORD
	4:30pm listener phat in Lincoln: I think my ex wife shared a love of Tony Visconti as much as anything else. Sigh.
	4:30pm P-90: And yes, Bolan and Donovan both evolved out of that English folk-rock-pop thing, that started at least partly with a fascination with Dylan, whose influence was inescapable at that time
	4:32pm love2laf: Missed the first hour, but have loved the 30 minutes, and will catch up in the archives. Thank you Todd-o-phonic Todd, thank you Tony Visconti, this is just amazing. The music, the memories, the mic breaks. Hello accu people, hope you're enjoying this :)
	4:33pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Metal Guru" by "T. Rex" Was just thinking about how Big Star covered Baby Strange . Guru's British flip side
	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Donovan was earlier than anyone in the UK I think in that space twixt Folk & Psych - & with that Whimsical ~ Ethereal element. An authentic pioneer. There was Donovan before even Syd Barrett. Bolan was a Mod earlier - as was Bowie & most of them...
	👻 4:34pm rx scabin: At the risk of repeating my self, Heavens.
	4:34pm SSS: I saw The Electric Flo and Eddie at the Commack arena. I loved them (and the Turtles!), but they were chased from the stage via a thrown bottle to Eddie's head (it connected). Their we better than all else act was weird. And Hot Tuna was the headliner. poor fellows. Jorma was careful after that, but he did say we should have let them finish.
	4:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: Best yelled "yeah!" in the business.
	4:35pm love2laf: ↳ rx scabin @4:34 I think that's appropriate, and to repeat every few minutes. Heavens.
	4:35pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ rx scabin @4:34 Yep
	4:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Teenage Dream" by "Marc Bolan and T. Rex" sounds like a tip of the cap to bowie
	4:36pm love2laf: Wait a minute, these 45s are remarkably clean sounding, little fuzzy on Teenage Dream, who has these 45s? Todd, Tony, or the station?
	4:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ love2laf @4:36 These are my copies.
	4:38pm Will: @RRNov63: Agree about Donovan's place in history.
	4:38pm love2laf: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:37 Wow, remarkably excellent, and clean sounding, boggling my ears!
	4:38pm glamrock90: Marc Bolen ! Thank you for this music ! and Todd O phonic for bringing us these memories back to your loyal listeners. ♥️
	4:38pm DG: Having seen lots of Bolan videos & concert footage, watching him bop around on stage singing sometimes-suggestive lyrics, I am pretty sure (although I haven't heard anyone say it) he influenced another short guy, from Minneapolis.....
	4:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ DG @4:38 Al Franken?
	👻 4:40pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:39 a true fashion icon
	4:40pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Teenage Dream" by "Marc Bolan and T. Rex" You can tell Prince was a fan of T. Rex, more than a few ideas lifted here for his “Pop Life” single.
	4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ DG @4:38 Interesting point.
	👻 4:43pm John L: I missed part of the show, so I don't know if it was discussed, but has Mr Visconti ever thought about an expanded edition of his autobiography?
	4:43pm P-90: Safe to say that Bolan influenced both Prince and Franken to some degree
	4:44pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Dear old Blighty was a dreary country in comparison to the US back then!
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...cause Bolan was good enuff ...he was smart enuff - & gawshdarnit - people liked him...
	4:49pm listener phat in Lincoln: That Rolls Royce line is one of my favorites.
	4:53pm listener phat in Lincoln: How, incredibly poignant
	4:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:45 up to a point, i guess
	4:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: Good lord, what a band.
	👻 4:56pm Hoboken Jack: I promised I would do a shot at any mention of Barone!
	4:58pm Victrola Tom: This show is like a glam-rock starter kit!
	4:59pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "Smart Phone" by "Tony Visconti" Well this could not be any tastier! Can't imagine what the whole album will sound like.
	5:00pm Victrola Tom: We need a full album of this Tony!!
	5:02pm JReganK: ↳ Song: "Around and Around" by "David Bowie and The Spider... RIP, Bowie and Beck!
	5:02pm PB: As great as Bowie once was (at least through the mid-70s)his covers were generally horrible.
	5:02pm Creature Boy: Almost forgot that we had a Bowie chapter still
	5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MickRonson's idol JeffBeck ! Yeah too much. The yARdbiRdS From Mars...
	5:03pm DG: "T. Rex.....now, that’s a good band, now he’s getting—buy a couple of his records—he’s getting fat with worry." ---Dr. Winston O'Boogie
	5:03pm JReganK: ↳ PB @5:02 Shouldn't talk ill of the dead
	5:03pm Creature Boy: ↳ PB @5:02 au contraire
	5:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: 🙄🙄
	5:04pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "Around and Around" by "David Bowie and The Spider... I'm unashamedly loving this. Beck & Bowie together, heavens!* *TM rx scabin
	5:04pm DonJuanTijuana: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:37 Am a huge fan of Wings!
	5:04pm Roxy: Hi Todd! You have the same exact taste in music that I do! I absolutely “LOVE, LOVE,LOVE” your Show!!! “Thank You” sooooo much for having all of the Guests that you have on! I love listening to Tony talk about stuff like Marc Bolan’s early instruments…and recording with them. You ask great questions Todd!! Keep on Rockin’!!!!
	5:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: More Denny Laine!
	5:05pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Roxy @5:04 Thanks Roxy!!!
	5:06pm listener phat in Lincoln: This has been a real treat.
	5:06pm P-90: Jet is one of the most almost bizarrely original pop songs ever. When I hear it I always wonder “where the hell did this COME from?!”
	5:06pm glamrock90: Thank you, Todd, for the ride down memory lane this beautiful Saturday afternoon
	5:07pm Creature Boy: David's Pin Ups just gets richer and richer as the years go by. Great covers
	5:07pm PB: I’ve always wondered that too, but not in a positive way.
	5:07pm P-90: It’s brilliant, all of the choices about the composition, arrangement, production are so original and truly accomplished
	5:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Creature Boy @5:07 Agreed.
	5:07pm StringOFperils: ↳ P-90 @5:06 I was just thinking more or less the same thing; when this stuff would show up it would just clear off all the old air in the room. Re-inventing pop, and self in Macca's case
	5:08pm Juli: J came from Martin Guitar FEST
	5:09pm P-90: those dub rhythm guitar chicks, the strings that appear from nowhere at the end to bring the song to a landing… all of it
	5:09pm Juli: My father & I sang Feeling Groovy & I wore my What Was Music? FMU Shirt!!!
	5:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was just reading this about Mick Ronson from GuitarWorld : www.guitarworld.com...
	5:09pm Juli: Lols. It was really cute.
	5:10pm love2laf: ↳ Juli @5:09 Hello Juli, sounds like a lovely outing, and fun!
	5:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: Great show with Vincent today, Todd. I guess the Randy Meisner tribute show will happen soon.
	5:10pm Juli: ↳ love2laf @5:10 Freaking too hot but I had fun. Ty!
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + Big Ups to PinUps +
	5:12pm PB: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:11 👎
	5:12pm love2laf: ↳ Juli @5:10 I am glad of it being fun, and you doing it despite the heat :)
	5:13pm Van Winkle ;-): Five and "ten cents" instead of dime...so "across the pond"...
	5:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: 🙄🙄🙄🙄
	👻 5:13pm Hoboken Jack: Absolutely loving this wide-ranging interview! Will be listening to the rest in the car so I'll say my thanks now, TOPT!
	5:13pm Juli: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @5:13 Describe what you are feeling?
	5:15pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:11 Agreed. Was actually my first Bowie LP purchase from babysitter money. No internet... obviously...so I was clueless that they were covers. But I sure loved the songs and production.
	5:15pm johnk77: great work selecter/interviewer rip randy meisner here is nytimes obit link https://tinyurl.com/2p86xz8c
	5:16pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Juli @5:13 I just think it's silly to claim that Bowie didn't do good covers. Wild is the Wind and Kingdom Come both prove that wrong
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Badfinger Boogie' was a kind of stock goof phrase with TheBeatles ...Beatlespeak...
	5:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: And Sorrow? Just the backup vocals on that are enough.
	5:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: Hence 🙄🙄🙄🙄
	5:17pm JReganK: This interview's insane!
	5:18pm listener phat in Lincoln: This show has been fantastic.
	5:18pm StringOFperils: Badfinger sounds like something McCartney would say. Like, Butterpie.
	5:18pm efd: "Can you believe this guy?" is the most apt set break title in the history of WFMU playlists.
	5:18pm Juli: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @5:16 Understood:::}}}
	5:18pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ efd @5:18 Yep
	5:18pm love2laf: ↳ efd @5:18 Agreed!
	5:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: PinUps - the selection, the arrangements & performances ...& Tributes long since become stock - so prescient. What's not to love. Some critique it as lazy of Bowie to not do more originals. But I think it was like his second album that year !...
	5:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @5:18 Broadly applicable.
	5:20pm Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "Dear Angie" by "Badfinger" They were amazing. Straight Up is such a masterpiece. Great to hear about Phil! More Lizzy stories!
	5:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: Lol. Two days!
	5:21pm Creature Boy: He was married to Mary Hopkins!?
	5:22pm Frank Zaatar: Talk about burying the lede!
	5:22pm love2laf: Two days?! Holy crap! With just a few lines and whistles?!
	5:22pm tom tom the pipers son: jet has that amazing drone in the background that runs through whole song
	5:22pm P-90: I think it’s safe to say that Visconti doesn’t get interviewed at quite this level of depth of interest and context that often.
	5:22pm Juli: Ooo I know nothing about these peeps Cool interview.
	5:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: Ok. I might be sold on these remixes now. Not that I was opposed.
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: UK Engineers being serious lab-coated types back then def a double-edged situation...
	5:25pm Yapper: Visconti is a true fountain of knowledge and has superb storytelling skills to share it. Amazing interview. Thanks Todd!
	👻 5:25pm John L: I was a big Strawbs fan in high school and have been revisiting the Visconti-produced From The Witchwood. To my ears it is their best LP.
	5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...more Strawbs I hear more I wanna hear...
	5:26pm Juli: Once I have $ There will be gud musick.
	5:26pm chresti: Hi Todd O, been enjoying the T Rex, and Tony talk!
	5:27pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Sound and Vision" by "David Bowie" Holy hell this never, ever, ever ceases to make me gasp. Good God. Like, every single part of it. All of it.
	5:28pm DG: ↳ Creature Boy @5:21 Yes, and then May Pang.
	5:28pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Sound and Vision" by "David Bowie" Mary Hopkins again? Jeez! Thx for the show Todd ... all this stuff is endlessly fascinating
	5:28pm ChrisB.: This is such a treat for real music geeks!
	5:29pm efd: ↳ Song: "Sound and Vision" by "David Bowie" Not that you haven't been asking great questions already, Todd, but I'd love to hear Tony talk for a few minutes about the great Dennis Davis.
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ DG @5:28 - MayPang who has a new film out ('Lost Weekend')...
	5:29pm Roxy: Wow! I didn’t know Tony was involved in this Song! One of my favorite later Songs by Bowie! Great Guitar riff all throughout!!!… who played that Earl Slick?
	5:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ efd @5:29 Good call!
	5:29pm StringOFperils: Who gets Tony Visconti to do an interview?!! Todd-O-Phonic Coup. I can't believe you can just contact these people....__signed: impressed in the boondocks
	5:29pm Chris Hiatt: Amazing interview, just amazing. I always wanted to know more about Tony's career, now I do in spades. Rock 'n' Roll royalty. Thanks for hooking this up, Todd-o-phonic Todd!
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Sound and Vision" by "David Bowie" ...& it's just about watching television :D ...
	5:30pm steveo: So great to hear this interview with Tony today. Really filling in some holes in my education 🙂
	👻 5:30pm Will thee Sound Guy: Been listening, absolutely killin it Todd-O-Phonic Todd and Tony Visconti!!! 💯🔥📻
	5:30pm Barefoot Jimmy G: TODD! Great interview and great set!
	5:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: This has been reinvigorating. I'm renting a new practice space soon and I think it's time to just start making records again.
	👻 5:32pm nealac: So much greatness on the TOPT show today! Thanks!
	5:33pm Ochre Ogre: I hope to hear Tony's story of the making Heroes, the song, in Berlin.
	5:33pm Roxy: I hope WFMU is giving you a salary for this GREAT Show!!
	5:34pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "Sound and Vision" by "David Bowie" Oh man this album!
	5:34pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Song: "China Girl" by "Iggy Pop" And this one!
	5:35pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: a song This is probably the greatest single ever recorded.
	5:35pm Roxy: Love this!!!and the Sound quality is EXCELLENT!!!
	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: a song - with the different levels of gated vocals & everything. Somebody was very very smart & creative...
	5:35pm Another DS: Great show!
	5:35pm JReganK: ↳ Juli @5:22 You're listening to an interview with a living legend
	5:35pm Victrola Tom: I 2nd this for greatest single!
	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @5:35 Anthem.
	5:36pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "China Girl" by "Iggy Pop" Life changing event...winning tickets...off the radio...to go to Iggy's Idiot tour spring '77...with Bowie smoking & tinkling away on his piano and some strange opener act...Blondie. On a school night too... No turning back after that... ;-)
	5:36pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: a song Hope for the future, in dystopian times.
	5:36pm listener phat in Lincoln: I spend a substantial amount of time trying to cop Fripp's guitar sound from this very record .
	5:37pm P-90: Fripp insists there was no Ebow or similar device used on the guitar, but cagey about just how he did play those parts
	5:37pm StringOFperils: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @5:36 Get two Revox-A77s and loop them
	5:37pm SSS: Really wonderfully woven set / interview. Tanks the whole bunch.
	5:37pm Roxy: Very tasteful & genius horn answering part!!!
	5:38pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ StringOFperils @5:37 Lol, don't think I haven't thought about it.
	5:38pm Dave the Spazz: Another incredible show, Todd!

	5:39pm Roxy: I’m in Musical Heaven right now
	5:40pm Annette: ↳ Song: a song 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟!! Tod thank you!!
	5:40pm Barefoot Jimmy G: We could be dying. Then yo'd better not say.
	5:40pm Bob Barth: Amazing show as always Todd! Thank you.
	5:40pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: a song I guess there are LOTS of versions of this by Bowie. Different mixes/languages and what not
	5:40pm Barefoot Jimmy G: Adrian!!!!
	5:41pm chresti: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @5:36 I saw that at the Santa Monica Civic (I think)
	5:41pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, the memories! Both Chresti and I were at the Iggy show with David on keyboards in April 1977 at The Santa Monica Civic, five years before we met. I saw David exactly a year later at The Forum in L.A. when he was touring Heroes. I want to cry.
	5:41pm JReganK: Belew!!!!
	5:41pm Juli: I think sum ppl would like me more if I were a boy lol

	5:42pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @5:36 There was a great video on youtube with Visconti explaining the studio set up dynamics for Heroes.
	5:42pm P-90: They killed it when they did this on SNL, one of the all-time best SNL live music moments
	5:42pm DonJuanTijuana: ↳ Ochre Ogre @5:42 That would be dope to see
	5:42pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Ochre Ogre @5:42 I need to watch that. I've read bits.
	5:42pm johnk77: rip roy young pianist on low most amazing combination musician/card shark i ever met
	5:43pm StringOFperils: That WAS one of the finest SNL moments. Life-changer.
	5:43pm DG: Could someone identify all the people in that photo? Looks like Sunday dinner at Ms. Visconti's....I see Marc B. but not sure of the others....
	5:43pm listener phat in Lincoln: I still think part of Bowie's genius (and I'm not the first to say this) is his ability to enlist genius
	5:44pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ stevej @5:41 Impeccable tastes...and talents!!! We are very fortunate.
	5:44pm Juli: What an amazing song. What an amazing life !!!
	👻 5:44pm John L: Been sitting outside, escaping my sister's over aircondtioned Long Island apartment and this show is keeping me cool.

	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Phew. This is heavy...
	5:46pm listener phat in Lincoln: The Helden version of Heroes is really great
	5:46pm Ochre Ogre: 'Was' that video on Y T -was- some time ago.
	5:47pm tom tom the pipers son: last time heard thought the song the candidate off diamond dogs, a precursor to berlin trilogy
	5:48pm listener phat in Lincoln: I like the sound of The Idiot. But yes.
	5:49pm listener phat in Lincoln: Lol. Uncle Floyd!
	5:49pm Matt Clarke: Fantastic show, Todd + Tony. Thanks for this!
	5:50pm listener phat in Lincoln: Really needed this kick in the ass to my creative self.

	5:52pm luka: i wanna hear about recording Lizzy with Gary Moore!!
	5:53pm Fuzzy: What a great show today -- Thanks Todd and Tony!
	👻 5:53pm John L: When I owned a record store one of my customers was the late, great Frank Kimbrough. He played on the original version of Sue (Or in a Season of Crime). He had nothing but great things to say about the session. I didn't want to geek out too much, so I held back on details. In retrospect I wish I had, and Frank was a super nice guy.
	5:55pm Random Control: Such a great interview, Todd! That comment about Bowie and Uncle Floyd made me think you should have Floyd Vivino on as a guest some time! I know he wasn't exactly a rocker, but he was there with CBGBs giving exposure to the great bands of that time. My friend and I would watch the show religiously and we saw the Ramones several times. He must have some stories.
	5:56pm Chop Scott: Bravo Boss!
	5:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: Really great show.
	5:56pm Random Control: Also, he's total Jersey
	5:56pm Roxy: Great Question Todd!!

	5:57pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Cosmic Dancer" by "T. Rex" Good ending sing. Jesus.
	5:57pm P-90: Always thought Thin Lizzy’s way of arranging guitar parts in songs, and their guitar tones, were more influential on players and bands that followed than they get credit for.
	5:57pm JR HTX: Best ever interview, show and music!!!! Thank you so much Todd and Tony. Loved it!!!!
	👻 5:57pm TonyR: Yay Todd and TV!!
	5:57pm MFlynn: Thanks Todd! Fantastic interview and discussion!
	5:57pm Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "Dancing in the Moonlight" by "Thin Lizzy" Thanks, Todd! Great quote from Tony about them being the hardest rocking band he’d ever worked with. Heard that story about Live & Dangerous, from Tony himself! Long story. But met him through his wife at time, May Pang, who used to come up to the office where I worked in the 90’s. She ultimately invited me to their home for a party. Jammed with his Dad, who was an amazing harmonica player, in their basement. Great show! Thanks!
	5:57pm Juli: A Perfect Song.
	5:57pm Roxy: 🥰🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸💗💗💗
	5:57pm Annette: Thanks again Todd & Tony !
	5:57pm JReganK: "Twinkle, twinkle, Uncle Floyd."
