	11:04am Squints: ↳ Bob @10:51 Might have merely bent his Wookiee.
	11:04am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:02 whhhhhiiiiiccccckkkkedddd!!!
	11:05am Listener Baby: ↳ Squints @11:01 If I’m not mistaken, that was last night, Squints. I’m awfully far away to talking on the subject. I have a particular interest in the Natick show tonight.
	11:06am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:05 assume the punk is going - and YOU were to be on the east coast??
	11:07am clarke: (and, i may have bent my wookie too)
	11:07am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:06 Hope she ends up going, Clarke. I got her the best seat in the house. She’s not a fan though. Trying to change that.
	11:08am egould: ↳ Song: "Liar" by "In Color" Yes that was a #1 hit.

	11:10am Andres: Good morning, Michael and all. Gotta figure that liar and fire are the go-to RnR rhyme combo.
	11:10am Pence: She/they can see your viewpoint*.
	11:10am Chris Hiatt: Morning, Michael Shelley, and all. Happy to be listening live!

	11:12am clarke: ↳ drr @11:11 ask the dust!!
	11:12am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "I Found A Man In My Bed" by "Roy C." Hey, he ripped off some of the lyrics from Squints!

	11:12am Pence: clarke 5*
	11:13am clarke: uke jingle!!!
	11:13am Squints: ↳ ledzeppelinsucks @11:11 I am impressed at Samuel Adams restraint this year. The seasonal on the taps now is still the Summer Ale. Usually the Octoberfest supplants it by the Fourth -- this actually happened one year -- and by now they're on to the Wintah Lagah.
	11:14am Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:12 Fe fi fo fum.
	11:14am Pence: Samuel Adams restraint indeed
	11:15am ledzeppelinsucks: I worked bear BALCO in 1997, the PED laundry for Barry Bonds. Roland Road in Millbrae. I should have stole the sign after raid.
	11:15am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:13 ggSq
	11:15am drr: Crisp Ian.

	11:16am luka: the grocery store had the pumpkin beers so i got my annual 4pk of Warlock (the only one i like)
	11:17am ledzeppelinsucks: Use notepad or similar to resume truncated posts here.
	11:17am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:16 i hate niedermeyer!! !
	11:17am drr: ↳ clarke @11:16 Yeah. I just noticed his name is like "crisp Ian". for some reason, it made me laugh. I have a good time, most of the time.
	11:17am Andres: ↳ Song: "Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying" by "Ben Vaughn" Had me at the opening line!
	11:17am Pence: ↳ ledzeppelinsucks @11:17 No way.
	11:18am clarke: ↳ drr @11:17 you enjoy YOU>
	11:19am greg g: First time hearing Hopeton Lewis AND Ben Vaughn. Diggin it, thanks Mike!
	11:19am MFlynn: Man o man do I love this new Ben Vaughn cut!
	11:19am drr: ↳ ledzeppelinsucks @11:15 BALCO was run in full or in part by a guy who was previously the bass player in Tower Of Power. Did you get his autograph?
	11:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:17 Niedermeyer -- dead!
	11:20am Don Gorden: Yo Mice GM , fighting the windmills of life everyday
	11:20am clarke: hope lange, joe dorida, knotts as furley*
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:20 see if you can guess what i am now!!
	11:22am Squints: ↳ luka @11:16 Pumpkinhead from Shipyard isn't out yet. Love that one. Pale ale, maybe a lager, with just enough punkin to make it innaresting. I take mine without the sugar and cinnamon on the rim.
	11:22am clarke: "you said no strings could secure you at the station"
	11:23am Squints: ↳ Song: "I'm So Glad" by "Traffic Sound" They're glad. They're nationwide.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:22 tony chachere's on the rim, plleeze.
	11:23am luka: ↳ Squints @11:22 that sounds lovely. if it’s restrained, i’m into it.
	11:24am Squints: ↳ drr @11:19 Favorite bumper sticker ever: "Caution: Driver listening to Tower Of Power."
	11:24am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Found A Man In My Bed" by "Roy C." Wow. Whacko. The next time the drummer plays the drums, it will be his second time at it.
	11:24am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:24 better than: Ridin' In My Car????
	11:25am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "I'm So Glad" by "Traffic Sound" I like this take on the tune. More garagey approach. Most Cream covers are abysmal, even by bands who are more capable of playing the parts properly.
	11:25am Kotzwinkled: Mike, and fellow Mike-heads: I finally caught Mike and the Moonpies live here in Lawrence, Kansas on Thursday night and they absolutely whipped ass live. Recommended!
	11:25am drr: @Michael--have you ever seen the movie Cotton Candy? Cause you just described the plot of it kinda. It's about a power-pop band (led by Charles Martin Smith) who are always bested in popularity by "Rapid Fire", a band that only seems to know "I Shot The Sheriff", and play it even worse, much worse, than Eric Clapton. Worth a look.
	11:25am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:24 Heh.
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:25 do you detect a slight bit of FUZZZZ??
	11:26am Michael Shelley: ↳ drr @11:25 no! its on my list - thanks for the tip!
	11:26am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:23 Then I couldn't be a, um, salty New Englandah.
	11:26am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Loose Talk" by "Freddie Hart" Puts me in mind of seeing Greg Garing and the Alphabet City Orchestra do this number back around 2000, 2001.
	11:26am clarke: ↳ drr @11:25 what year wuz dat??
	11:26am drr: ↳ Squints @11:24 They're not always my favorite band; just when I hear them.
	11:26am Hughie Considine: I was in a garage band circa 1975 and we played "White Room" and "Sunshine of Your Love." But for an early '80s band to be covering that stuff does sound very ... greaser-ish. We called 'em greasers in Tenafly.
	11:26am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:25 Hey, he kinda got the tone right. Kinda.
	11:27am drr: ↳ clarke @11:26 1978. directed by Ron Howard (and featuring Clint), but he doesn't talk about it.
	11:27am greg g: ↳ Song: "I'm So Glad" by "Traffic Sound" Love this cover. & while I never played in the gym of my high school (or any high school), Disraeli Gears was one of the first Lp's I bought. The doc on Ginger Baker is one of my fave rock docs. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:27am clarke: kinda!
	11:27am bobobob: is this the Freddie that was in the Raiders??
	11:27am clarke: ↳ drr @11:27 is that a Kanopy find??
	11:28am Squints: ↳ drr @11:25 So that's at least two flicks in which CMS plays a guy in a band?
	11:28am ledzeppelinsucks: Use notepad or email to copy posts before submitting. Learn the character limitations.................................................................................. ..................
	11:28am ledzeppelinsucks: .........limitations.
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:26 mornin' Hugh (for me)
	11:29am drr: ↳ clarke @11:27 Noooooo. Its pretty hard to find--made for TV. There's a copy on YT that appears to be from a home taped VHS. (Very fun movie though.)
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I'm So Glad" by "Traffic Sound" Course it's a SkipJames song really - &/or whatever Blues variations by who knows. Interesting to think of him on one side of Cream, & say BlackSabbath on the other. Yeah - I did grow up with Cream records. & when I touch a Gittar - that's part of what wants to come out. & there ain't a thing I can do about it.
	11:30am Frank In Queens: I'm wondering if the type you're describing as "greasers" are the same type that were referred to as "dirtbags" back on LI in the 80s?
	11:30am Squints: This is absolutely Number One.
	11:30am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:29 Hey~ it's morning for Hugh too! Good day sir. Glad to see you awake and vocalizing.
	11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: Hey all
	11:30am David Shortell: ↳ Song: "I'm So Glad" by "Traffic Sound" This is a cover of a song by Skip Baker. "Ghost World" director Terry Zwigoff featured several of his songs in the movie's soundtrack album--and writes about him in the liner notes. Boy, does Terry hate Cream!
	11:31am drr: ↳ Squints @11:28 That's not enough!
	11:31am bobob: Freddie Weller
	11:31am Bob: I just want to take this opportunity to tell everyone about how I drained and flushed my own hot water heater yesterday. I was amazed at the amount of sediment it unloosed. I'm looking at 25% more efficiency and longevity now! Talk about some stellar adulting for a not very handy man.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:30 i haven't actually said anything - but have laughed out loud a few times, thanks folks!!
	11:31am ErikFromSweden: Yeeeees! Love this soul stomper!
	11:31am Moammar: ↳ David Shortell @11:30 BluesHammer!
	11:31am Frank In Queens: ↳ David Shortell @11:30 I get the feeling that Terry hates everything recorded after 1949.
	11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:30 For us, greasers were tough kids whose older brothers worked at the local gas station, had permanent scowls, and loved Sabbath.
	11:32am Joe B: greetings Michael and everyone
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:31 this is progress, bob!
	11:32am Bob: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:31 39
	11:32am drr: ↳ clarke @11:27 @ prof. fuzz (if he's here): "Filming (of Cotton Candy) took place in Dallas, Texas, at Lake Highlands High School and at the Town East Mall for the Battle of the Bands event."
	11:32am egould: ↳ clarke @11:23 You’re good people, Clarke.
	11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:31 It's crazy how much sediment is in those things
	11:32am greg g: ↳ Bob @11:31 Congrats Bob! I need some sort of personal trainer/coach to get me to do home repair projects.
	11:33am Frank In Queens: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:32 I think we might be talking about the same type here.
	11:33am clarke: ↳ drr @11:29 will seek!
	11:33am ledzeppelinsucks: Bob use email or notepad to compose and copy. Retrieve truncation and paste.
	11:33am Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:32 I was shocked. I was also embarrassed that I didn't do it before. It's incredibly easy. Youtube genius.
	11:33am Squints: ↳ Bob @11:31 Where I do sign up for 25% more longevity? And can I sign up again the next day? And so on? Or is that like making my third wish three more wishes?
	11:34am Frank In Queens: Pumpkin beer is my faaaaaavoite.
	11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:33 They also hold a lot of water which is also not clear until that tank cracks.
	11:34am clarke: ↳ drr @11:32 FuZZZ apparently has not graced the southern morning, yet.
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:34 really??
	11:36am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:34 there he is!!
	11:36am Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:34 Went through that once
	11:36am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:36 I've already had to troubleshoot a work problem this morning.
	11:36am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Oh darn it looks like nick lowe doesn’t have any west coast tour dates
	11:37am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:36 fuh chrissakes.
	11:37am listener phat in Lincoln: Lowe is playing my birthday in KC. Needless to say...
	11:37am ledzeppelinsucks: Pumpkin Spice tuna casserole was a flop at the dinner party.
	11:38am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:37 Should be fixed. It was kinda my fault, so...
	11:38am Kotzwinkled: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:37 Hey I'll be there too! Last time he played in KC was on my daughter's due date, so....I did not go.
	11:38am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:37 a three-hour tour!!
	11:38am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:38 Nice
	11:38am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:38 Yes
	11:38am Handy Haversack: We shifted our Sunday D&D game to Saturday to work around K8's bday celebrationating (and shifted to a different game, even, but that's all more inside baseball than anyone needs I'd imagine), so I'll be ducking out soon to get that going. www.random.org...
	11:39am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:38 and would you stay in a motel?
	11:39am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:36 No. God no.
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:39 That's a good question. I may just drive straight back.
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:38 say it ain't so!! @Frank - i figured.
	11:40am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:39 thusly, a six=hour tour.
	11:40am SeanG: plenty of pumpkin spice chat on JA in the AM's chat board yesterday lol
	11:41am Andres: Dog Ear Records $1.50 Each
	11:41am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:40 But pumpkin pie is.
	11:41am egould: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:36 Nick and Elvis were on the West Coast in June.
	11:41am gf2002: Speaking of Cream: One of the best scenes from the show Freaks And Geeks is when Jason Segel's character Nick gets an audition with one of the "hottest" local cover bands after drumming in his basement with a 30 piece Peart kit, and he fails at playing Crossroads. Great and poignant scene.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:41 figured.
	11:42am Kotzwinkled: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:39 Whoa that's crazy!
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Song: "Feel Flows" by "Beach Boys, The" RIP SS!!! good one.
	11:42am Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @11:41 Yes! Tragic almost. And it only gets worse for poor, rudderless Nick, who eventually gets caught shaking his booty at a disco. The humiliation!
	11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:42 I did after Roky Erickson. It's a super easy drive
	11:44am Joey!: Best to all our friends here today!!! Listening from the heart of the Witch City, Salem, Mass!!
	11:44am drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 what about the time the kids get into a club to see live music, but it's their guidance counselor...
	11:44am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:43 be safe, me bruvvah.
	11:44am Bob: He hated Mike Love? I feel like the Mike bashing has become one of the worst cliches in music.
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:44 but, love makes it easy.
	11:45am drr: ↳ Bob @11:44 Yet Mike Love keeps making Mike-bashing relevant.
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Critics exalt for instance Iggy & Captain Beefheart for having the scope to realize they had to create their own sort of version of Blues. rather than just try to co-opt it or appropriate it. It's amusing that Cream in turn denounced the HeavyMetal they so completely influenced (fully accomplished Jazzbo Baker certainly)... Point being their relation to Blues is a little complicated. It's certainly a somewhat different animal than Country Blues. But it's not that you can't see Albert King & Buddy Guy from there... Cream occupied that slot exactly twixt TheWho & Hendrix in History & the development of Rawk. & for such a successful band - it seems to me that people don't quite quite access that as they should do...
	11:46am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:44 We will see. I have a few friends in KC, too.
	11:46am Kotzwinkled: My wife used to work at the Mohegan Sun hotel and when she checked Mike Love in, he serenaded her with a song. I always say that story would be a lot cooler if it'd not been Mike Love and another Beach Boy.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: I guess I didn't win. Well, life is pain, Highness. Anyone who tells you different is selling you something.
	11:47am clarke: you should see what he did to the bell boy!!
	11:47am gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 I love that show. I finally got the full Freaks And Geeks DVD box set a few years ago and rewatched the whole thing, then listened to the commentaries. Highly recommended. Yes, the "Disco Sucks" episode is pretty bittersweet too. Most of them are. And poor Nick is right, all he wanted to do was toke up and play his huge drum kit despite being a talented athlete too.
	11:48am Kotzwinkled: ↳ clarke @11:47 The horror...
	11:48am Andres: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:46 What song?
	11:48am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:47 Sting could not be reached for comment.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:48 no more lip!
	11:49am listener phat in Lincoln: I'm debating going to Omaha for a show tonight. But I think I need to chill out tonight
	11:49am Kotzwinkled: ↳ Andres @11:48 Little Richard's "Jenny Jenny." (he read her name tag)
	11:49am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:49 what is the show?
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:49 the bellboy's name was Shannon.
	11:50am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor" by "Jess Willard" Michael, I didn't hear your intro to this one, but are you familiar with Johnny Horton's version? Pretty great six-string bass on that one.
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:46 *assess not access. Yerknow.
	11:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor" by "Jess Willard" That song was amazing.
	11:50am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:49 Local legendary punk band RAF. There's also a Lincoln show with a band I might be recording for a demo.
	11:50am gf2002: ↳ drr @11:44 Yes! And that guidance counselor who they thought was a joke actually had a life outside his office including being a musician. That's great when he tells the server to take their beers away
	11:50am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @11:44 Yes! Nothing seemed to work out for those lovable scamps, or you could say their moments of glory were few and far between.
	11:51am drr: @clarke: latest in shows I didn't know about until the day after, I missed Frankie Valli at the Saenger last night.
	11:51am Handy Haversack: ↳ gf2002 @11:47 As a D&D player since 1980, that show hits me right where I live. Fantastic.
	11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @11:47 Amazingly effective use of music throughout. The only way I could ever tolerate Styx was in Episode 1.
	11:52am clarke: ↳ drr @11:51 mine: Weyes Blood at Joy Theater
	11:52am clarke: 11/10
	11:53am listener phat in Lincoln: Also debating Black Keys tomorrow night.
	11:53am prof.fuzz: morning y'all
	11:53am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:53 i'd say nix that one. thass just me.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:53 welllllll..... good day....FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	11:55am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Desafinado" by "Joe Harnell" Well this is amazing
	11:55am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:54 good day to you too ClarkEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
	11:55am clarke: let's move to kansas city. ok.
	11:55am Bob Barth: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:53 Caught them at The Forum not too long ago. Fantastic live show.
	11:56am Kotzwinkled: KC represent!
	11:56am drr: ↳ Song: "It Must Be Love" by "Leopards, The" This is like The Rutles of The Kinks.
	11:56am Squints: ↳ Song: "It Must Be Love" by "Leopards, The" Nub nub nub dis record.
	11:57am GeoSinPhilly: Frequently, when I hear classic country. I think. "Oh, THAT'S where Robbie Fulks got the template for some song." This one seems like a very direct source for "Let's Live Together."
	11:57am Bob: ↳ drr @11:45 I think if my uncle sold my billion dollar song publishing out from under me for peanuts, and the drummer was banging my teenager daughter and bringing Charlie Manson around, I'd be a little salty too.
	11:58am prof.fuzz: ↳ drr @11:56 change "love" to "lunch" and you nailed it!
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @11:56 Nice.
	11:58am greg g: Not Wolly Bully??!
	11:58am rx "rexy" scabin: Hello, Michael and Everyone.
	11:58am GeoSinPhilly: ↳ GeoSinPhilly @11:57 That comment referred to "loose Talk" by Freddie Hart.
	11:59am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:55 I've thought about it.
	11:59am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:59 we've all thought about it.
	11:59am drr: ↳ Bob @11:57 now you've made me see things from Mike's perspective. This is a strange place to be.
	12:00pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:30 very possibly!
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ drr @11:59 oh whew - i thought bob was in real trouble.
	12:00pm gf2002: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:51 It hit all the right details. I think it's the same episode as the guidance counselor with his band, but a great scene is when they go for fake ID's and the guy who makes the ID's and also sells drugs and stolen electronics says "I got some Freihofer's cookies, they're hard to get from the east coast."
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Move It On Over" by "Hank Williams" The Father of Modern Country ...also infused with so much Blues...
	12:02pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "Move It On Over" by "Hank Williams" #1 rock and roll record
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:01 i found out, later, that hank "appropriated" a lot of songs.
	12:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ myron feld @12:02 ...if Hank had lived just a few more years...
	12:02pm Barefoot Jimmy G: Micheal, I just turned 59 yesterday and I've been an FMU listener for 100 years. The 'one/two punch" of you and Rex on Saturdays makes my weekend!
	12:02pm SeanG: best song ever
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:02 what i mean is, i grew up thinking he was the greatest songwriter.
	12:03pm gf2002: ↳ Bob @11:57 Mike spent a good deal of time with the Manson clan himself, so it's not like he didn't participate. In fact a few years ago Squeaky Fromme wrote into a magazine to correct some of Mike's claims when his book came out. It must be tough to get fact-checked by Squeaky Fromme.
	12:03pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:46 He sang "Jennifer, Juniper" to my Juniper

	12:04pm paul: ↳ gf2002 @12:03 It must be tough to get fact-checked by Squeaky Fromme. LOL
	12:04pm Kotzwinkled: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:03 Whoa! He's a serial serenader!
	12:04pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:59 Better dating scene for old guys, I suspect.
	12:05pm Barefoot Jimmy G: ↳ paul @12:04 Hahaha
	12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ paul @12:04 Lol
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ Kotzwinkled @12:04 sumbitch is crazy.
	12:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:03 Sure. & Hank didn't Write all his Hits either. But then - he is like the Greatest Songwriter anyhow. & yerknow - the singing & recording & whole package...
	12:06pm Squints: ↳ Barefoot Jimmy G @12:02 HBD, BJG. You're a young pup yet.
	12:06pm egould: ↳ Song: "Wednesday Girl" by "Jetset, The" Yet another #1 hit.
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:05 for certain, Rev -- imy point is, more, how one grows up believing ______.
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:06 like worshipping Mick Avory.
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:06 Yeah. & Dylan even more for me. PaulSimon - all the Folkies practiced ReWriting Traditional songs...
	12:10pm Kotzwinkled: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:04 Or you can just wallow in BBQ.

	12:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:07 Just saw a Post on fb about the Wrecking Crew essentially 'being' TheVentures for a good number of their Studio trax - while the actual Ventures were busy being Big In Japan !...
	12:11pm gf2002: Squeaky Fromme wrote to Vanity Fair magazine in 2016 to fact-check Mike Love after they ran reviews on his book. This is the actual letter: In your review of Beach Boys biographies, I was surprised to learn of my attempt to shower with Mike Love. Ironically, he's the second writer in as many months to allege a soap-and-water sexual advance by one of the "dirty Manson girls." Mike Love's memoir may be, as you say, a better read than Brian's but I couldn't believe anything he says. I've never been within 10 feet of Mike Love. LYNETTE FROMME Central New York State
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:11 guess he couldn't read her name-tag.
	12:13pm thesecoronalives: the dylan song evoked by that neil diamond song, I think, is 'it takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:11 say it ain't so!!
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! Gotta get in the game now!
	12:14pm prof.fuzz: ↳ gf2002 @12:11 "i've never been within 10 feet of Mike Love." How big was the shower?
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:14 keep your head in the game!!
	12:15pm clarke: i don't think anyone wants to move here, this week!!
	12:15pm Michael Shelley: OUCH: www.discogs.com...
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:14 dennis was ahead of his time with bathroom tech.
	12:16pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:15 it was 110F here yesterday. today, we're looking at a mild 105F, before next week's sweater weather hits (94-98).
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:16 i hear there is a break, coming. not soon enuff.
	12:17pm Bob: ↳ gf2002 @12:03 I think they're all a bunch of republicans and I'm just gonna love the records. Even Mike's stuff.
	12:17pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:16 it was a mansion (or manson). i just imagine it had huge showers.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:17 actually, it wasn't a manion - but it was sure a manson.
	12:18pm TimG: I’ll be in New Orleans in October….should be breathable then?
	12:18pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Mabala" by "Fathili And The Yahoos" from the unreleased "Gidget Goes to Mars"

	12:19pm captain mike: This tune is fun lifting my four corners Thanks Michael
	12:20pm clarke: it doesn't cool off here until november, usually.
	12:20pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Song: "Mabala" by "Fathili And The Yahoos" Only $100 - www.discogs.com...
	12:21pm clarke: only!!
	12:22pm egould: Unrelated to anything happening on the Michael Shelley Show, here’s a link to a fun interview with Martin Newell www.richieunterberger.com...
	12:22pm Mr. Jones: I'm late to the party today so I may have missed it, but what happened to Ralph Wiggum?
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:22 recap: pumpkin beer - controversial.
	12:24pm Bob Barth: ↳ clarke @12:23 lol
	12:24pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:23 Wiggum die from the pumpkin spice?
	12:24pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:22 I have to credit Clay Pigeon with turning me on to The Cleaners From Venus.
	12:24pm clarke: something is happening - but you don't know what it is - do you....
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Zappa saying - that was the moment of Creative Opportunity - when the real older execs knew they didn't know what was happening - they just wanted into the Youth Market. It's into the 70s & stuff when they hired 'Hip' gatekeepers that it got gross & fascist...
	12:25pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:24 Now you've caught on!
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:24 luv 'em - however, their latest LP is not killing me like the rest - will have to keep trying, tho. a few good chunes, tho.
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay Martin Newell
	12:26pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:23 After a long day moving rope, I like a nice refreshing pumpkin beer.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:26 i don't transport in-state, sir!
	12:26pm gf2002: That's how Zappa got a record deal in LA. The label exec was hitting on a young girl at a club, someone got him to where Zappa was playing, and when he walked in The Mothers just happened to be playing a blues boogie which was totally unlike the rest of the set. The label guy said he'd sign them and left, and that's how Zappa ended up on Verve in '66. If you could play a blues boogie and had the look, and the right label guy saw it, there was your deal. Crazy times.
	12:26pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Candy Man" by "Rising Sons, The" This is like "Sweet Virginia" if they'd had Keith sing it. Or maybe pulled in Ronnie earlier than they had.
	12:28pm Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1ers. Catching the end of the show. Work kept me from tuning in earlier.🥒🥒🥒🥒, eh?
	12:28pm Bob: ↳ gf2002 @12:26 Damn. Ten minutes later and I might not have to know about Frank Zappa.
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:26 you one'a them agitators??
	12:29pm egould: ↳ Song: "Blue Guitar" by "Cucumbers, The" Ask the angels who they're calling, Go ask the angels if they're calling to thee Ask the angels while they're falling Who that person could possibly be
	12:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bob @12:28 Love Zappa but that's funny.
	12:30pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:29 I've never operated a washing machine in my life.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:29 i don't love zappa, but that's funny!
	12:30pm Kotzwinkled: ↳ Bob @12:28 www.theonion.com...
	12:31pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Blue Guitar" by "Cucumbers, The" That was some kind of alright there.
	12:31pm Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:29 I meant Zappa Kids! Actually we probably wouldn't have Beefheart either so it's a fair trade.
	12:31pm Juli: The Angels are Everyone’s love:::}
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:30 nor have you been less than ten feet from squeaky fromme..
	12:31pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Kotzwinkled @12:30 LOL
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: After a long day of moving paving stones, I like to down a couple 'a Belgian Triples and promptly check out.
	12:32pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:30 I met Zappa, at his house (which I was at twice) & watched him make a sandwich. Long story.
	12:32pm Juli: Anyone & Everyone can and should speak w the Angels Imo:::} They are a big part of my life:::}
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:32 they pelted us with rocks and garbage.
	12:33pm Bob: ↳ Kotzwinkled @12:30 That is funny. My fatal mistake was my first record I bought was Thingfish.
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:32 ...big sandwich ??...
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:32 what was his slurpee flavor??
	12:33pm Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:33 Burnt Weenie
	12:34pm Juli: It’s not one human over another lol Not sure why humans think one human is favorited over other oh the Edited Lol Bible I am pretty sure they edited it to not include what Jesus actually said::: That everyone was the son of god lol It’s obviously manipulative IE The Dead Sea Scrolls No we don’t have to talk about religion I j love Angels
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Boo-Da-Ba" by "Spampinato Brothers, The" yesssss!!
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bob @12:33 Right. That takes a minute...
	12:35pm rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. I must go to the vegetable stand to get corn and things for our BBQ.
	12:35pm Bob Barth: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:32 jealous!!! oh to be a fly, flying around that sandwich!
	12:35pm gf2002: Zappa strikes me as a pumpernickel kind of guy.
	12:36pm Bob: The Pie In The Sky might be the most underrated record in the entire Qniverse. I love it.
	12:36pm P-90: Has Michael ever told the Zappa/Sandwich story in the air? Would love to hear it…
	12:36pm Squints: Take some rope witcha.
	12:36pm P-90: *ON the air
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:35 nice RX!! the doc prescribed RIBS!!
	12:36pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:33 no, modest
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:36 i can't transport in-state, sir!
	12:37pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Don't Want To Stay" by "Jacob James, The" Wow. This one revved right out of the gates. wooHOO.
	12:37pm P-90: It wasn’t a BURNT WEENIE SANDWICH?
	12:37pm egould: ↳ Song: "Don't Want To Stay" by "Jacob James, The" Another gosh darn #1 hit! How does MS keep doing it?!?
	12:38pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Bob @12:33 I think I rate Thingfish maybe as high as one-from-the-bottom in the Zappa quality ladder, but more likely the bottom.
	12:39pm rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke sorry, we are some if those vegetarians, but we cherish the sentiment of your reply.
	12:39pm listener phat in Lincoln: I caught The Skatalites the other night and they were amazing. (No original members left, evolved after reuniting)
	12:39pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Windy" by "Ventures, The" Cool! Love this song & NOW I can sing along!!
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My father used to cook weenies @ the table with a propane torch & put them on sliced bread ...they were, indeed, burnt weenie sandwiches.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Windy" by "Ventures, The" vibra-slap overuse violation
	12:41pm Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:39 Good? I love them so much. I saw them twenty years ago at least with few originals.
	12:41pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:40 Mosrite guitars abound!
	12:41pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @12:41 Absolutely fantastic.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:41 hey, we rented this vibra-slap...
	12:41pm egould: ↳ Song: "The New Breed" by "Jimmy Holiday" Drummer is cooking!
	12:42pm gf2002: Was that a Mosrite vibra-slap?
	12:42pm clarke: no movies ya'll?? (besides Cotton Candy that is)
	12:42pm paul: Original Walk Don't Run. Always thought the Ventures did it first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HwQxdrmwY8
	12:42pm clarke: 8/10
	12:42pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:41 That's a band name right there. The Vibra-Slaps!
	12:42pm Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @12:41 heart attack good!
	12:42pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:42 Night Nurse
	12:42pm jmd: ↳ Song: "The New Breed" by "Jimmy Holiday" Whoa! Whatta #1!
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:42 opening for The Bell-Tree
	12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The New Breed" by "Jimmy Holiday" Studio Trax More Alive Than Your Live Trax Dept.
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:42 watt dat is??
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:42 Concur!
	12:45pm clarke: Movies Frank???
	12:45pm Hubig Pie: Barbara Stanwyck pre-code.
	12:45pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:42 Ice Station Zebra last night. Tried to make it though The Wild Bunch afterwards, but couldn't stay up.
	12:45pm Mr. Jones: ↳ paul @12:42 Between the Johnny Smith jazz original and The Ventures surf version, Chet Atkins released his version. youtu.be/dSLumuGkjHo?t=4
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:45 ohhhh - i have seen that!! it's really good!!
	12:45pm egould: ↳ Song: "Over and Out" by "Televisionaries, The" More number one hits. This is ridiculous!
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:45 never seen ISZ. love WB!!
	12:46pm Bob: Yeah, movie suggestions?
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:42 she nurses a rich guy, right??
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:45 It was fun, but somewhat predictable as to who the villain wound up being.
	12:48pm drr: Movies: rewatch of 3 Women, with something like an argument to follow.
	12:48pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:46 She sleeps with Joan Blondell and gets slapped around by an evil Clark Gable.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:48 yes! need to re-visit!! youtube??
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:48 never seen that either
	12:49pm drr: I had this Sam The Sham LP, so good. It said Sam The Sham Revue on the sleeve, and Nefertiti on the labels. Has a good song about chickens.
	12:50pm Bob: I started rewatching the Young Ones in order on Youtube. The pacing seems a little slow by today's standards but it's still so surreal and goofy.
	12:50pm P-90: Ice Station Zebra remains almost ridiculously watchable, it’s aged very well
	12:50pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:49 It was Ms. Stanwyck night on TCM. They also showed Baby Face and Double Indemnity
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lennon does bring it on TheBeatles' version of Kitten (which they didn't even use).
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:50 yeah, i have been re-watching some old series, lately - hence, no movies, this week!!
	12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: All Chickin Songs are Good.
	12:51pm Bob Barth: Michael!!! You sir are a gentlemen & a scholar!
	12:51pm egould: ↳ drr @12:49 Every song about chickens is a good song.
	12:51pm Bob Barth: ↳ Bob Barth @12:51 Your request shall be granted!!
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Someday I'm Gonna Go" by "Robert Lamm" i, too, am nostalgic about EARLY Chicago. EARLY!! not past II
	12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Get BAWK to where you once belonged.
	12:51pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Bob @12:50 One of the best!
	12:52pm drr: ↳ egould @12:51 Yeah, this guy Revolution Rabbit thinks so too! I just know "Mah-Mah Chicken Pot Pie" is THE GREATEST.
	12:52pm paul: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:51 Especially "Chicken Crazy" by Joe Tex
	12:52pm Dennis Diken: I once played a gig with Robert Lamm - it was a gas and he was a true gentleman
	12:52pm egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:51 We’re of a similar mind. At least regarding chicken songs and The Who. :-)
	12:53pm drr: ↳ paul @12:52 oh man, you're right. "They've GONE chicken crazy!"
	12:53pm Bob: I'm also not a big fan but was listing a ton of used Chicago records lately. I never realized that Lamm was sort of the guy. Wrote the majority.
	12:53pm paul: Leave my kitten off the playlist.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:52 heya howya??
	12:53pm Hubig Pie: Rufus Thomas - Do the Funky Chicken
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Song: "She's Got Everything" by "Romantics, The" not mick avory.
	12:54pm gf2002: I watched "Three Bad Sisters" from 1956, B-movie but a decent film, and started but haven't finished "A Face Of War" which is a pretty brutal cinema verite Vietnam documentary from '68 (filmed in '66) that supposedly inspired Coppola with Apocalypse Now.
	12:54pm paul: ↳ drr @12:53 No doubt about it.
	12:54pm drr: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:53 "I feel so unnecessary!"
	12:54pm Squints: ↳ Song: "She's Got Everything" by "Romantics, The" The only problem with using "What I Like About You" behind a promo drop is once I hear the open, I never don't want all three minutes of it. But this compensates nicely. The chair allows it.
	12:55pm Squints: ↳ Song: "She's Got Everything" by "Romantics, The" That Mick Avory's really something, ain't he?
	12:55pm clarke: the chair is not my son.
	12:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Squints @12:54 Same
	12:55pm egould: Thanks Michael! Like, this show was totally rad!
	12:56pm gf2002: ↳ Bob @12:53 I love that first batch of Chicago albums, especially CTA the debut, and Terry Kath was an amazing musician. Highly recommend the documentary on him where they try to find his old Telecaster. But yes, Lamm seemed to be the guy for writing those early classics, and he loved his major 7th chords. Check out some of the live videos from 69-71, amazing. And Lamm would quote other songs during the breaks in Beginnings, really cool.
	12:57pm Dennis Diken: Clem Cattini drums on Kinks’ “She’s Got Everything.” Until I learned that bit of info I considered it one of my fave Mick Avory tracks!
	12:57pm Bob: ↳ gf2002 @12:56 I did watch the doc. Pretty good.
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:57 read above, young son!
	12:58pm Bob Barth: Michael - Thanks for the plug! Great show as usual!!
	12:58pm Dennis Diken: Great show, Mikey!
	12:58pm clarke: really big shew!! natch!! *stars after stars after stars
	12:58pm greg g: Thanks Mike!!
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...now if you had Chickins do 'SummertimeBlues' ...open to suggestions for Drummers... ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	12:59pm egould: There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues. Except alcohol.
	12:59pm clarke: good nite.
	1:00pm Frank In Queens: Thanks Michael. Great show, as per the standard.

	11:25am Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "I'm So Glad" by "Traffic Sound" I like this take on the tune. More garagey approach. Most Cream covers are abysmal, even by bands who are more capable of playing the parts properly.
	11:25am Kotzwinkled: Mike, and fellow Mike-heads: I finally caught Mike and the Moonpies live here in Lawrence, Kansas on Thursday night and they absolutely whipped ass live. Recommended!
	11:25am drr: @Michael--have you ever seen the movie Cotton Candy? Cause you just described the plot of it kinda. It's about a power-pop band (led by Charles Martin Smith) who are always bested in popularity by "Rapid Fire", a band that only seems to know "I Shot The Sheriff", and play it even worse, much worse, than Eric Clapton. Worth a look.
	11:25am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:24 Heh.
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:25 do you detect a slight bit of FUZZZZ??
	11:26am Michael Shelley: ↳ drr @11:25 no! its on my list - thanks for the tip!
	11:26am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:23 Then I couldn't be a, um, salty New Englandah.
	11:26am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Loose Talk" by "Freddie Hart" Puts me in mind of seeing Greg Garing and the Alphabet City Orchestra do this number back around 2000, 2001.
	11:26am clarke: ↳ drr @11:25 what year wuz dat??
	11:26am drr: ↳ Squints @11:24 They're not always my favorite band; just when I hear them.
	11:26am Hughie Considine: I was in a garage band circa 1975 and we played "White Room" and "Sunshine of Your Love." But for an early '80s band to be covering that stuff does sound very ... greaser-ish. We called 'em greasers in Tenafly.
	11:26am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:25 Hey, he kinda got the tone right. Kinda.
	11:27am drr: ↳ clarke @11:26 1978. directed by Ron Howard (and featuring Clint), but he doesn't talk about it.
	11:27am greg g: ↳ Song: "I'm So Glad" by "Traffic Sound" Love this cover. & while I never played in the gym of my high school (or any high school), Disraeli Gears was one of the first Lp's I bought. The doc on Ginger Baker is one of my fave rock docs. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:27am clarke: kinda!
	11:27am bobobob: is this the Freddie that was in the Raiders??
	11:27am clarke: ↳ drr @11:27 is that a Kanopy find??
	11:28am Squints: ↳ drr @11:25 So that's at least two flicks in which CMS plays a guy in a band?

	11:29am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:26 mornin' Hugh (for me)
	11:29am drr: ↳ clarke @11:27 Noooooo. Its pretty hard to find--made for TV. There's a copy on YT that appears to be from a home taped VHS. (Very fun movie though.)
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I'm So Glad" by "Traffic Sound" Course it's a SkipJames song really - &/or whatever Blues variations by who knows. Interesting to think of him on one side of Cream, & say BlackSabbath on the other. Yeah - I did grow up with Cream records. & when I touch a Gittar - that's part of what wants to come out. & there ain't a thing I can do about it.
	11:30am Frank In Queens: I'm wondering if the type you're describing as "greasers" are the same type that were referred to as "dirtbags" back on LI in the 80s?
	11:30am Squints: This is absolutely Number One.
	11:30am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:29 Hey~ it's morning for Hugh too! Good day sir. Glad to see you awake and vocalizing.
	11:30am listener phat in Lincoln: Hey all
	11:30am David Shortell: ↳ Song: "I'm So Glad" by "Traffic Sound" This is a cover of a song by Skip Baker. "Ghost World" director Terry Zwigoff featured several of his songs in the movie's soundtrack album--and writes about him in the liner notes. Boy, does Terry hate Cream!
	11:31am drr: ↳ Squints @11:28 That's not enough!
	11:31am bobob: Freddie Weller
	11:31am Bob: I just want to take this opportunity to tell everyone about how I drained and flushed my own hot water heater yesterday. I was amazed at the amount of sediment it unloosed. I'm looking at 25% more efficiency and longevity now! Talk about some stellar adulting for a not very handy man.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:30 i haven't actually said anything - but have laughed out loud a few times, thanks folks!!
	11:31am ErikFromSweden: Yeeeees! Love this soul stomper!
	11:31am Moammar: ↳ David Shortell @11:30 BluesHammer!
	11:31am Frank In Queens: ↳ David Shortell @11:30 I get the feeling that Terry hates everything recorded after 1949.
	11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:30 For us, greasers were tough kids whose older brothers worked at the local gas station, had permanent scowls, and loved Sabbath.
	11:32am Joe B: greetings Michael and everyone
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:31 this is progress, bob!
	11:32am Bob: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:31 39
	11:32am drr: ↳ clarke @11:27 @ prof. fuzz (if he's here): "Filming (of Cotton Candy) took place in Dallas, Texas, at Lake Highlands High School and at the Town East Mall for the Battle of the Bands event."
	11:32am egould: ↳ clarke @11:23 You’re good people, Clarke.
	11:32am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:31 It's crazy how much sediment is in those things
	11:32am greg g: ↳ Bob @11:31 Congrats Bob! I need some sort of personal trainer/coach to get me to do home repair projects.
	11:33am Frank In Queens: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:32 I think we might be talking about the same type here.
	11:33am clarke: ↳ drr @11:29 will seek!
	11:33am ledzeppelinsucks: Bob use email or notepad to compose and copy. Retrieve truncation and paste.
	11:33am Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:32 I was shocked. I was also embarrassed that I didn't do it before. It's incredibly easy. Youtube genius.
	11:33am Squints: ↳ Bob @11:31 Where I do sign up for 25% more longevity? And can I sign up again the next day? And so on? Or is that like making my third wish three more wishes?
	11:34am Frank In Queens: Pumpkin beer is my faaaaaavoite.
	11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:33 They also hold a lot of water which is also not clear until that tank cracks.
	11:34am clarke: ↳ drr @11:32 FuZZZ apparently has not graced the southern morning, yet.
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:34 really??
	11:36am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:34 there he is!!
	11:36am Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:34 Went through that once
	11:36am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:36 I've already had to troubleshoot a work problem this morning.
	11:36am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Oh darn it looks like nick lowe doesn’t have any west coast tour dates
	11:37am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:36 fuh chrissakes.
	11:37am listener phat in Lincoln: Lowe is playing my birthday in KC. Needless to say...
	11:37am ledzeppelinsucks: Pumpkin Spice tuna casserole was a flop at the dinner party.
	11:38am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:37 Should be fixed. It was kinda my fault, so...
	11:38am Kotzwinkled: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:37 Hey I'll be there too! Last time he played in KC was on my daughter's due date, so....I did not go.
	11:38am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:37 a three-hour tour!!
	11:38am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:38 Nice
	11:38am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:38 Yes
	11:38am Handy Haversack: We shifted our Sunday D&D game to Saturday to work around K8's bday celebrationating (and shifted to a different game, even, but that's all more inside baseball than anyone needs I'd imagine), so I'll be ducking out soon to get that going. www.random.org...
	11:39am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:38 and would you stay in a motel?
	11:39am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:36 No. God no.
	11:39am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:39 That's a good question. I may just drive straight back.
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:38 say it ain't so!! @Frank - i figured.
	11:40am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:39 thusly, a six=hour tour.
	11:40am SeanG: plenty of pumpkin spice chat on JA in the AM's chat board yesterday lol
	11:41am Andres: Dog Ear Records $1.50 Each
	11:41am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:40 But pumpkin pie is.
	11:41am egould: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @11:36 Nick and Elvis were on the West Coast in June.
	11:41am gf2002: Speaking of Cream: One of the best scenes from the show Freaks And Geeks is when Jason Segel's character Nick gets an audition with one of the "hottest" local cover bands after drumming in his basement with a 30 piece Peart kit, and he fails at playing Crossroads. Great and poignant scene.
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:41 figured.
	11:42am Kotzwinkled: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:39 Whoa that's crazy!
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Song: "Feel Flows" by "Beach Boys, The" RIP SS!!! good one.
	11:42am Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @11:41 Yes! Tragic almost. And it only gets worse for poor, rudderless Nick, who eventually gets caught shaking his booty at a disco. The humiliation!
	11:43am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:42 I did after Roky Erickson. It's a super easy drive
	11:44am Joey!: Best to all our friends here today!!! Listening from the heart of the Witch City, Salem, Mass!!
	11:44am drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 what about the time the kids get into a club to see live music, but it's their guidance counselor...
	11:44am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:43 be safe, me bruvvah.
	11:44am Bob: He hated Mike Love? I feel like the Mike bashing has become one of the worst cliches in music.
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:44 but, love makes it easy.
	11:45am drr: ↳ Bob @11:44 Yet Mike Love keeps making Mike-bashing relevant.
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Critics exalt for instance Iggy & Captain Beefheart for having the scope to realize they had to create their own sort of version of Blues. rather than just try to co-opt it or appropriate it. It's amusing that Cream in turn denounced the HeavyMetal they so completely influenced (fully accomplished Jazzbo Baker certainly)... Point being their relation to Blues is a little complicated. It's certainly a somewhat different animal than Country Blues. But it's not that you can't see Albert King & Buddy Guy from there... Cream occupied that slot exactly twixt TheWho & Hendrix in History & the development of Rawk. & for such a successful band - it seems to me that people don't quite quite access that as they should do...
	11:46am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:44 We will see. I have a few friends in KC, too.
	11:46am Kotzwinkled: My wife used to work at the Mohegan Sun hotel and when she checked Mike Love in, he serenaded her with a song. I always say that story would be a lot cooler if it'd not been Mike Love and another Beach Boy.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: I guess I didn't win. Well, life is pain, Highness. Anyone who tells you different is selling you something.
	11:47am clarke: you should see what he did to the bell boy!!
	11:47am gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 I love that show. I finally got the full Freaks And Geeks DVD box set a few years ago and rewatched the whole thing, then listened to the commentaries. Highly recommended. Yes, the "Disco Sucks" episode is pretty bittersweet too. Most of them are. And poor Nick is right, all he wanted to do was toke up and play his huge drum kit despite being a talented athlete too.
	11:48am Kotzwinkled: ↳ clarke @11:47 The horror...
	11:48am Andres: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:46 What song?
	11:48am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:47 Sting could not be reached for comment.
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:48 no more lip!
	11:49am listener phat in Lincoln: I'm debating going to Omaha for a show tonight. But I think I need to chill out tonight
	11:49am Kotzwinkled: ↳ Andres @11:48 Little Richard's "Jenny Jenny." (he read her name tag)
	11:49am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:49 what is the show?
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:49 the bellboy's name was Shannon.
	11:50am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor" by "Jess Willard" Michael, I didn't hear your intro to this one, but are you familiar with Johnny Horton's version? Pretty great six-string bass on that one.
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:46 *assess not access. Yerknow.
	11:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor" by "Jess Willard" That song was amazing.
	11:50am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:49 Local legendary punk band RAF. There's also a Lincoln show with a band I might be recording for a demo.
	11:50am gf2002: ↳ drr @11:44 Yes! And that guidance counselor who they thought was a joke actually had a life outside his office including being a musician. That's great when he tells the server to take their beers away
	11:50am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @11:44 Yes! Nothing seemed to work out for those lovable scamps, or you could say their moments of glory were few and far between.
	11:51am drr: @clarke: latest in shows I didn't know about until the day after, I missed Frankie Valli at the Saenger last night.
	11:51am Handy Haversack: ↳ gf2002 @11:47 As a D&D player since 1980, that show hits me right where I live. Fantastic.
	11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @11:47 Amazingly effective use of music throughout. The only way I could ever tolerate Styx was in Episode 1.
	11:52am clarke: ↳ drr @11:51 mine: Weyes Blood at Joy Theater
	11:52am clarke: 11/10

	11:55am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Desafinado" by "Joe Harnell" Well this is amazing
	11:55am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:54 good day to you too ClarkEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
	11:55am clarke: let's move to kansas city. ok.
	11:55am Bob Barth: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:53 Caught them at The Forum not too long ago. Fantastic live show.
	11:56am Kotzwinkled: KC represent!
	11:56am drr: ↳ Song: "It Must Be Love" by "Leopards, The" This is like The Rutles of The Kinks.
	11:56am Squints: ↳ Song: "It Must Be Love" by "Leopards, The" Nub nub nub dis record.
	11:57am GeoSinPhilly: Frequently, when I hear classic country. I think. "Oh, THAT'S where Robbie Fulks got the template for some song." This one seems like a very direct source for "Let's Live Together."
	11:57am Bob: ↳ drr @11:45 I think if my uncle sold my billion dollar song publishing out from under me for peanuts, and the drummer was banging my teenager daughter and bringing Charlie Manson around, I'd be a little salty too.
	11:58am prof.fuzz: ↳ drr @11:56 change "love" to "lunch" and you nailed it!
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @11:56 Nice.
	11:58am greg g: Not Wolly Bully??!
	11:58am rx "rexy" scabin: Hello, Michael and Everyone.
	11:58am GeoSinPhilly: ↳ GeoSinPhilly @11:57 That comment referred to "loose Talk" by Freddie Hart.
	11:59am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:55 I've thought about it.
	11:59am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:59 we've all thought about it.
	11:59am drr: ↳ Bob @11:57 now you've made me see things from Mike's perspective. This is a strange place to be.
	12:00pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:30 very possibly!
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ drr @11:59 oh whew - i thought bob was in real trouble.
	12:00pm gf2002: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:51 It hit all the right details. I think it's the same episode as the guidance counselor with his band, but a great scene is when they go for fake ID's and the guy who makes the ID's and also sells drugs and stolen electronics says "I got some Freihofer's cookies, they're hard to get from the east coast."
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Move It On Over" by "Hank Williams" The Father of Modern Country ...also infused with so much Blues...
	12:02pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "Move It On Over" by "Hank Williams" #1 rock and roll record
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:01 i found out, later, that hank "appropriated" a lot of songs.
	12:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ myron feld @12:02 ...if Hank had lived just a few more years...
	12:02pm Barefoot Jimmy G: Micheal, I just turned 59 yesterday and I've been an FMU listener for 100 years. The 'one/two punch" of you and Rex on Saturdays makes my weekend!
	12:02pm SeanG: best song ever
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:02 what i mean is, i grew up thinking he was the greatest songwriter.
	12:03pm gf2002: ↳ Bob @11:57 Mike spent a good deal of time with the Manson clan himself, so it's not like he didn't participate. In fact a few years ago Squeaky Fromme wrote into a magazine to correct some of Mike's claims when his book came out. It must be tough to get fact-checked by Squeaky Fromme.
	12:03pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Kotzwinkled @11:46 He sang "Jennifer, Juniper" to my Juniper
	12:03pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "Move It On Over" by "Hank Williams" We just marked a significant aniiversary: The day Hank was jailed in Alex City: www.alexcityoutlook.com...

	12:05pm clarke: ↳ Kotzwinkled @12:04 sumbitch is crazy.
	12:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:03 Sure. & Hank didn't Write all his Hits either. But then - he is like the Greatest Songwriter anyhow. & yerknow - the singing & recording & whole package...
	12:06pm Squints: ↳ Barefoot Jimmy G @12:02 HBD, BJG. You're a young pup yet.
	12:06pm egould: ↳ Song: "Wednesday Girl" by "Jetset, The" Yet another #1 hit.
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:05 for certain, Rev -- imy point is, more, how one grows up believing ______.
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:06 like worshipping Mick Avory.
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:06 Yeah. & Dylan even more for me. PaulSimon - all the Folkies practiced ReWriting Traditional songs...

	12:11pm gf2002: Squeaky Fromme wrote to Vanity Fair magazine in 2016 to fact-check Mike Love after they ran reviews on his book. This is the actual letter: In your review of Beach Boys biographies, I was surprised to learn of my attempt to shower with Mike Love. Ironically, he's the second writer in as many months to allege a soap-and-water sexual advance by one of the "dirty Manson girls." Mike Love's memoir may be, as you say, a better read than Brian's but I couldn't believe anything he says. I've never been within 10 feet of Mike Love. LYNETTE FROMME Central New York State
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:11 guess he couldn't read her name-tag.
	12:13pm thesecoronalives: the dylan song evoked by that neil diamond song, I think, is 'it takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:11 say it ain't so!!
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! Gotta get in the game now!
	12:14pm prof.fuzz: ↳ gf2002 @12:11 "i've never been within 10 feet of Mike Love." How big was the shower?

	12:17pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:16 i hear there is a break, coming. not soon enuff.
	12:17pm Bob: ↳ gf2002 @12:03 I think they're all a bunch of republicans and I'm just gonna love the records. Even Mike's stuff.
	12:17pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:16 it was a mansion (or manson). i just imagine it had huge showers.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:17 actually, it wasn't a manion - but it was sure a manson.
	12:18pm TimG: I’ll be in New Orleans in October….should be breathable then?

	12:22pm Mr. Jones: I'm late to the party today so I may have missed it, but what happened to Ralph Wiggum?
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:22 recap: pumpkin beer - controversial.
	12:24pm Bob Barth: ↳ clarke @12:23 lol
	12:24pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:23 Wiggum die from the pumpkin spice?
	12:24pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:22 I have to credit Clay Pigeon with turning me on to The Cleaners From Venus.
	12:24pm clarke: something is happening - but you don't know what it is - do you....
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Zappa saying - that was the moment of Creative Opportunity - when the real older execs knew they didn't know what was happening - they just wanted into the Youth Market. It's into the 70s & stuff when they hired 'Hip' gatekeepers that it got gross & fascist...
	12:25pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:24 Now you've caught on!
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:24 luv 'em - however, their latest LP is not killing me like the rest - will have to keep trying, tho. a few good chunes, tho.
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay Martin Newell
	12:26pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:23 After a long day moving rope, I like a nice refreshing pumpkin beer.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:26 i don't transport in-state, sir!
	12:26pm gf2002: That's how Zappa got a record deal in LA. The label exec was hitting on a young girl at a club, someone got him to where Zappa was playing, and when he walked in The Mothers just happened to be playing a blues boogie which was totally unlike the rest of the set. The label guy said he'd sign them and left, and that's how Zappa ended up on Verve in '66. If you could play a blues boogie and had the look, and the right label guy saw it, there was your deal. Crazy times.
	12:26pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Candy Man" by "Rising Sons, The" This is like "Sweet Virginia" if they'd had Keith sing it. Or maybe pulled in Ronnie earlier than they had.
	12:28pm Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1ers. Catching the end of the show. Work kept me from tuning in earlier.🥒🥒🥒🥒, eh?
	12:28pm Bob: ↳ gf2002 @12:26 Damn. Ten minutes later and I might not have to know about Frank Zappa.
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:26 you one'a them agitators??

	12:30pm Kotzwinkled: ↳ Bob @12:28 www.theonion.com...
	12:31pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Blue Guitar" by "Cucumbers, The" That was some kind of alright there.
	12:31pm Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:29 I meant Zappa Kids! Actually we probably wouldn't have Beefheart either so it's a fair trade.
	12:31pm Juli: The Angels are Everyone’s love:::}
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:30 nor have you been less than ten feet from squeaky fromme..
	12:31pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Kotzwinkled @12:30 LOL
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: After a long day of moving paving stones, I like to down a couple 'a Belgian Triples and promptly check out.
	12:32pm Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @12:30 I met Zappa, at his house (which I was at twice) & watched him make a sandwich. Long story.
	12:32pm Juli: Anyone & Everyone can and should speak w the Angels Imo:::} They are a big part of my life:::}
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:32 they pelted us with rocks and garbage.
	12:33pm Bob: ↳ Kotzwinkled @12:30 That is funny. My fatal mistake was my first record I bought was Thingfish.
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:32 ...big sandwich ??...
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:32 what was his slurpee flavor??
	12:33pm Bob: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:33 Burnt Weenie
	12:34pm Juli: It’s not one human over another lol Not sure why humans think one human is favorited over other oh the Edited Lol Bible I am pretty sure they edited it to not include what Jesus actually said::: That everyone was the son of god lol It’s obviously manipulative IE The Dead Sea Scrolls No we don’t have to talk about religion I j love Angels
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Boo-Da-Ba" by "Spampinato Brothers, The" yesssss!!
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bob @12:33 Right. That takes a minute...
	12:35pm rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. I must go to the vegetable stand to get corn and things for our BBQ.
	12:35pm Bob Barth: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:32 jealous!!! oh to be a fly, flying around that sandwich!
	12:35pm gf2002: Zappa strikes me as a pumpernickel kind of guy.
	12:36pm Bob: The Pie In The Sky might be the most underrated record in the entire Qniverse. I love it.
	12:36pm P-90: Has Michael ever told the Zappa/Sandwich story in the air? Would love to hear it…
	12:36pm Squints: Take some rope witcha.
	12:36pm P-90: *ON the air
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @12:35 nice RX!! the doc prescribed RIBS!!
	12:36pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:33 no, modest
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:36 i can't transport in-state, sir!
	12:37pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Don't Want To Stay" by "Jacob James, The" Wow. This one revved right out of the gates. wooHOO.
	12:37pm P-90: It wasn’t a BURNT WEENIE SANDWICH?
	12:37pm egould: ↳ Song: "Don't Want To Stay" by "Jacob James, The" Another gosh darn #1 hit! How does MS keep doing it?!?
	12:38pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Bob @12:33 I think I rate Thingfish maybe as high as one-from-the-bottom in the Zappa quality ladder, but more likely the bottom.
	12:39pm rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke sorry, we are some if those vegetarians, but we cherish the sentiment of your reply.
	12:39pm listener phat in Lincoln: I caught The Skatalites the other night and they were amazing. (No original members left, evolved after reuniting)
	12:39pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Windy" by "Ventures, The" Cool! Love this song & NOW I can sing along!!
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My father used to cook weenies @ the table with a propane torch & put them on sliced bread ...they were, indeed, burnt weenie sandwiches.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Windy" by "Ventures, The" vibra-slap overuse violation
	12:41pm Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:39 Good? I love them so much. I saw them twenty years ago at least with few originals.
	12:41pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:40 Mosrite guitars abound!
	12:41pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @12:41 Absolutely fantastic.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:41 hey, we rented this vibra-slap...
	12:41pm egould: ↳ Song: "The New Breed" by "Jimmy Holiday" Drummer is cooking!
	12:42pm gf2002: Was that a Mosrite vibra-slap?
	12:42pm clarke: no movies ya'll?? (besides Cotton Candy that is)
	12:42pm paul: Original Walk Don't Run. Always thought the Ventures did it first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HwQxdrmwY8
	12:42pm clarke: 8/10
	12:42pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:41 That's a band name right there. The Vibra-Slaps!
	12:42pm Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @12:41 heart attack good!

	12:45pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:42 Ice Station Zebra last night. Tried to make it though The Wild Bunch afterwards, but couldn't stay up.
	12:45pm Mr. Jones: ↳ paul @12:42 Between the Johnny Smith jazz original and The Ventures surf version, Chet Atkins released his version. youtu.be/dSLumuGkjHo?t=4
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:45 ohhhh - i have seen that!! it's really good!!
	12:45pm egould: ↳ Song: "Over and Out" by "Televisionaries, The" More number one hits. This is ridiculous!
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:45 never seen ISZ. love WB!!
	12:46pm Bob: Yeah, movie suggestions?
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:42 she nurses a rich guy, right??
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:45 It was fun, but somewhat predictable as to who the villain wound up being.
	12:48pm drr: Movies: rewatch of 3 Women, with something like an argument to follow.
	12:48pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:46 She sleeps with Joan Blondell and gets slapped around by an evil Clark Gable.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:48 yes! need to re-visit!! youtube??
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:48 never seen that either
	12:49pm drr: I had this Sam The Sham LP, so good. It said Sam The Sham Revue on the sleeve, and Nefertiti on the labels. Has a good song about chickens.
	12:50pm Bob: I started rewatching the Young Ones in order on Youtube. The pacing seems a little slow by today's standards but it's still so surreal and goofy.
	12:50pm P-90: Ice Station Zebra remains almost ridiculously watchable, it’s aged very well
	12:50pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:49 It was Ms. Stanwyck night on TCM. They also showed Baby Face and Double Indemnity
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lennon does bring it on TheBeatles' version of Kitten (which they didn't even use).
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:50 yeah, i have been re-watching some old series, lately - hence, no movies, this week!!
	12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: All Chickin Songs are Good.
	12:51pm Bob Barth: Michael!!! You sir are a gentlemen & a scholar!
	12:51pm egould: ↳ drr @12:49 Every song about chickens is a good song.
	12:51pm Bob Barth: ↳ Bob Barth @12:51 Your request shall be granted!!
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Someday I'm Gonna Go" by "Robert Lamm" i, too, am nostalgic about EARLY Chicago. EARLY!! not past II
	12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Get BAWK to where you once belonged.
	12:51pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Bob @12:50 One of the best!
	12:52pm drr: ↳ egould @12:51 Yeah, this guy Revolution Rabbit thinks so too! I just know "Mah-Mah Chicken Pot Pie" is THE GREATEST.
	12:52pm paul: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:51 Especially "Chicken Crazy" by Joe Tex
	12:52pm Dennis Diken: I once played a gig with Robert Lamm - it was a gas and he was a true gentleman
	12:52pm egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:51 We’re of a similar mind. At least regarding chicken songs and The Who. :-)
	12:53pm drr: ↳ paul @12:52 oh man, you're right. "They've GONE chicken crazy!"
	12:53pm Bob: I'm also not a big fan but was listing a ton of used Chicago records lately. I never realized that Lamm was sort of the guy. Wrote the majority.
	12:53pm paul: Leave my kitten off the playlist.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:52 heya howya??
	12:53pm Hubig Pie: Rufus Thomas - Do the Funky Chicken
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Song: "She's Got Everything" by "Romantics, The" not mick avory.
	12:54pm gf2002: I watched "Three Bad Sisters" from 1956, B-movie but a decent film, and started but haven't finished "A Face Of War" which is a pretty brutal cinema verite Vietnam documentary from '68 (filmed in '66) that supposedly inspired Coppola with Apocalypse Now.
	12:54pm paul: ↳ drr @12:53 No doubt about it.
	12:54pm drr: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:53 "I feel so unnecessary!"
	12:54pm Squints: ↳ Song: "She's Got Everything" by "Romantics, The" The only problem with using "What I Like About You" behind a promo drop is once I hear the open, I never don't want all three minutes of it. But this compensates nicely. The chair allows it.
	12:55pm Squints: ↳ Song: "She's Got Everything" by "Romantics, The" That Mick Avory's really something, ain't he?
	12:55pm clarke: the chair is not my son.
	12:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Squints @12:54 Same
	12:55pm egould: Thanks Michael! Like, this show was totally rad!
	12:56pm gf2002: ↳ Bob @12:53 I love that first batch of Chicago albums, especially CTA the debut, and Terry Kath was an amazing musician. Highly recommend the documentary on him where they try to find his old Telecaster. But yes, Lamm seemed to be the guy for writing those early classics, and he loved his major 7th chords. Check out some of the live videos from 69-71, amazing. And Lamm would quote other songs during the breaks in Beginnings, really cool.
	12:57pm Dennis Diken: Clem Cattini drums on Kinks’ “She’s Got Everything.” Until I learned that bit of info I considered it one of my fave Mick Avory tracks!
	12:57pm Bob: ↳ gf2002 @12:56 I did watch the doc. Pretty good.
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @12:57 read above, young son!
	12:58pm Bob Barth: Michael - Thanks for the plug! Great show as usual!!
	12:58pm Dennis Diken: Great show, Mikey!
	12:58pm clarke: really big shew!! natch!! *stars after stars after stars
	12:58pm greg g: Thanks Mike!!
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...now if you had Chickins do 'SummertimeBlues' ...open to suggestions for Drummers... ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	12:59pm egould: There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues. Except alcohol.
	12:59pm clarke: good nite.
	1:00pm Frank In Queens: Thanks Michael. Great show, as per the standard.
