	9:13am Brett’n’Honey-max-Mia: WI 🐑
	9:13am GorillaFella: Thats adorable! Music connects us all ❤️
	9:13am Kirsten 🍀 Nauset CC: Mom tip here for the stomach bug: puke comes from the intestines! The intestines contract every 13-15 minutes so set your timer when they puke and at 12 minutes get the bucket ready and wait. This reduces the shock and trauma of "uncontrolled" puking. It really does help the carnage and trauma especially if you have kids on the spectrum. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
	9:14am florida: oh yes the computer age
	♥ 9:14am ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): I met my wife online, too. Shoutout AOL personal ads!

	9:25am Hot Rodney: Swimmer’s physique
	♥ 9:26am PaulRobeson1925: “PLEASE HELP. I AM SIX MONTHS PREGNANT AND HOMELESS. PLEASE HELP. I AM SIX MONTHS PREGNANT AND HOMELESS…”
	9:27am florida: midwestern charm
	9:27am Tommy K: If you preach too much about the charity you give, it becomes more about yourself than helping....
	♥ 9:27am PaulRobeson1925: Mr.MLK said true compassion is more than flicking a coin to a beggar
	♥ 9:28am Steve Del Sol: When I lived in the East Village (late 1980's) there was a guy who would not say anything, just put out his hand. If you gave him nothing, he would shrug and hit himself with a small stick in the head, and move on.
	9:28am GNee: My sister gave her breakfast she just bought to a homeless man she saw some days going to work, he took the breakfast, walked to the garbage and threw it away ... then continued asking for money!!
	9:29am honest Bernardo from Argentina: I tell everyone I give all my $$$ to WFMU and try to coerce them into giving
	♥ 9:29am 2/3 of the Perrin Family: this is some of the most authentic expressions of life on radio I get to hear, Thank you JA and Clay!
	♥ 9:30am Steve Del Sol: For some, the medication has yet to be invented.
	9:30am Lana in Bucks County: John, I love that you shared that story about the erratic behaviour on the subway, and I really appreciate how wise you are in handling it.
	♥ 9:31am AbeSomething: I once gave a dude my takeout dinner on the subway platform. He came back two minutes later asking where the drink was. I didn' have one. He was pissed. :)
	9:31am Philip: the glisteners love the hand-off.
	9:31am honest Bernardo from Argentina: Gotta remember that the world always used to suck way more than today way more.
	♥ 9:31am Evan from Westfield: Hang in there Clay! Many of us feel similar to you, and we are lucky to have Wake and WFMU to rally around and find comfort in
	♥ 9:32am anne: i would go so far as to say wfmu is a life saver
	9:32am Lana in Bucks County: Thank you Clay so much for your beautiful strength - your vulnerability - and your ability to connect and demonstrate acceptance of others who are different, whether mental health-wise or politically.
	9:32am Kirsten 🍀 Nauset CC: ↳ anne @9:32 Indeed. Agreed.
	9:33am HyperDose: ↳ anne @9:32 for real!
	♥ 9:33am PaulRobeson1925: On the subway I saw a man sit down and ask these toursits over and over for a bite of their sandwitch and then say “nahh i’m just playin! Can i get a bite? Nahh i’m just playin! Can i get a bite…” then he loudly hocked a large spit on the ground and yelled “YOU LEAVE MR.LUGGIE ALONE! LEAVE HIM ALONE” then the scene got weird hold on
	♥ 9:33am Steve Del Sol: ↳ HyperDose @9:33 Absolutely.
	9:34am DJ Guin: Clay is 108 years young.
	9:34am Matty Cannabis: For whatever reasons, it's been more and more difficult to hook up with friends these days, so WFMU has become a boon to my sanity by making me feel like I'm part of something positive that's larger than myself. No pressure, just keep the tunes and love going and keep wakin and bakin'
	9:35am honest Bernardo from Argentina: I miss when nobody gave a shit too
	9:35am GorillaFella: Starting each day with this wonderful community and diverse, rockin tunes means the world to me! Makes my days so much better :)
	9:35am Hot Rodney: Clay’s so sweet taking care of his wife
	♥ 9:35am Steve Del Sol: Careful Clay. There are Hitlers in the grocery line. Don't take your eyes off them.
	9:36am Mark T: Wow, this is powerful dialogue and awesome to hear you open up Clay.
	♥ 9:36am Woo: Why do you think they call it dope?
	9:36am Lana in Bucks County: I think John alluded to the other week, this discourse is fueled by media/ news sales- both left and right - and each individual's recognition and awareness of this will help us re-unite as homo sapiens
	9:38am Lana in Bucks County: Oh John, I love when you vocalize!
	9:38am Charles in Chicago: I haven't smoked since I got COVID for the second time, last May. Feels pretty good.
	9:38am Lana in Bucks County: I love you two. Thank you so much!! xo
	♥ 9:38am PaulRobeson1925: Then a man with one leg on crutches comes through the door between the subway cars and taped to his crutches was a red plastic cup and a JBL speaker blasting spanish music. The man who was yelling at the spit on the ground starts screaming “HE’S FAKING IT! HE DOSN’T HAVE ONE LEG! HE’S FAKING IT. HES FOLLOWING ME! He’s FOLLOWING ME!” Then I cant remeber what he was saying but he went over the help button and started trying to talk into it and get the train to stop.

	9:40am Philip: hahahaha phrase of the day, "tee off"
	♥ 9:40am PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:39 I was amused at 1st but the hocking of the luggie turned me off

	9:42am Blix: You two are so wrong on this...
	9:42am TerrDE: Roast MJ at 250 F for 25 - 30 minutes 28 is optimum. Makes it 1.5 - 2 times stronger for smoking. But its for eating. 1/8 teaspoon nice high, 2 1/8 tsp really high, 3 1/8tsp U B trippin. More not recommended except for John Lilly is my hero types

	9:49am danny san: For Mr. Dave Emory and his 46 years of hard work and endurance (podcast on WFMU weekly) that his "For The record" program (on 64 GB flash drive) will allow future (that He feels very pessimistic about) generations access as to what happened with our civilization. When I heard his expression 'the underground reich' in 2004 I wondered. Now with Elon Musk`s I heart NAZI gesture there is no doubt now.
	9:49am rx "rexy" scabin: @Marley P. Dogg meritocracy.
	9:49am GorillaFella: ↳ DJ Guin @9:46 Oh hell yeah! I already know your friends appreciated that 🤣
	9:51am Noir Lover: One thing you can do if you like jazz and resistance is see the movie Soundtrack to a Coup d'etet. In theaters now. Up for an Oscar best doc.
	♥ 9:51am rsj: this track is trying to speed through all the missed music from the first 1/3 of the show
	9:51am Rednex: I don't think I can handle America being this great
	9:51am TerrDE: Hi John. I have a suggestion. You could play a tune Clay is unfamiliar w then discuss it afterwards, going off into other topics as the conversation takes its course. That way we're hearing some music from the start.
	9:54am DJ Guin: ↳ GorillaFella @9:49 I discovered that coconut oil hits way harder than butter or tincture. Gummies are a pain in the ass to make. Cookies are good. My brownies are not for weedy tourists.
	9:54am Toothgrinder Tom: @Rednex more like weak.
	9:55am Lease on Ear: This track is like "Time" by Chambers Bros
	♥ 9:55am Polyus: John - I just randomly discovered that there is a movie coming out this year, called Koln '75, based on the story behind Keith Jarrett's Cologne concert. Not a documentary but the story of the young woman who was the promoter that made the show happen. One of those truth-is-stranger-than-fiction stories apparently.
	9:56am DJ Guin: @John - console Clay best you can and seeya on the flippity flop bye kids!
	♥ 10:01am captain beef fart: ↳ Polyus @9:55 only a month until release!

	10:08am rx "rexy" scabin: Good bye. It is meeting time.
	10:11am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Song: "2 (edit)" by "USA/Mexico" Already regretting not pre-ordering this.
	10:12am GorillaFella: Haha that was sick, kinda sounded like Sunn 0))) and Monarch! Gotta love some doomy drone from time to time
	10:13am Rednex: Did the late Susan Alcorn ever do a version of Cotton Eyed Joe
	♥ 10:13am Polyus: ↳ Noir Lover @9:51 Soundtrack to a Coup d'etet is also currently available to stream on Kanopy, if your local library system has that available.
	10:13am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Rednex @10:13 There is almost absolutely no chance that she did not.
	10:14am hey, play me something(funky) 🎶: Playmesomethingfunkplz.🎶

	♥ 10:36am Jason from Houston: ↳ No Big Thing in Chicago @10:34 I was not. Her legacy here still looms large.
	10:41am NikiA: This is so good
	10:42am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Jason from Houston @10:36 I'm sure. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had opportunities to see her often in those years. I knew then what I was seeing was special but I don't think I really appreciated just how special it was at the time.
	10:43am Mister Dobalina: The Jazz is back, woohoo !!
	10:44am JDub: More free jazz, less AI
	♥ 10:46am Jason from Houston: ↳ No Big Thing in Chicago @10:42 That is fortunate. A great and special human. Really, really, really.
	10:46am Mister Dobalina: I heard jAzz being played on FMU the other day & it just didn't feel the same as the JazZ I hear on Friday mornings.
	♥ 10:46am stev eo: Sitting here listening to the sky float by the hours marked onlyby the oranges in the east

	11:03am Stu of Bot: Damn hippies.

	11:05am Stu of Bot: None of your worst music is as bad as the reality of America 2025, so I guess you’re the perfect soundtrack for the moron apocalypse
	🎸 ♥ 11:05am AB in Catskill: Loved the maniacal laugh JA. I've been doing that a lot lately too.

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from February 7, 2025

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

	9:13am GorillaFella: Thats adorable! Music connects us all ❤️
	9:13am Kirsten 🍀 Nauset CC: Mom tip here for the stomach bug: puke comes from the intestines! The intestines contract every 13-15 minutes so set your timer when they puke and at 12 minutes get the bucket ready and wait. This reduces the shock and trauma of "uncontrolled" puking. It really does help the carnage and trauma especially if you have kids on the spectrum. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
	9:14am florida: oh yes the computer age
	♥ 9:14am ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): I met my wife online, too. Shoutout AOL personal ads!

	9:27am florida: midwestern charm
	9:27am Tommy K: If you preach too much about the charity you give, it becomes more about yourself than helping....
	♥ 9:27am PaulRobeson1925: Mr.MLK said true compassion is more than flicking a coin to a beggar
	♥ 9:28am Steve Del Sol: When I lived in the East Village (late 1980's) there was a guy who would not say anything, just put out his hand. If you gave him nothing, he would shrug and hit himself with a small stick in the head, and move on.
	9:28am GNee: My sister gave her breakfast she just bought to a homeless man she saw some days going to work, he took the breakfast, walked to the garbage and threw it away ... then continued asking for money!!
	9:29am honest Bernardo from Argentina: I tell everyone I give all my $$$ to WFMU and try to coerce them into giving
	♥ 9:29am 2/3 of the Perrin Family: this is some of the most authentic expressions of life on radio I get to hear, Thank you JA and Clay!
	♥ 9:30am Steve Del Sol: For some, the medication has yet to be invented.
	9:30am Lana in Bucks County: John, I love that you shared that story about the erratic behaviour on the subway, and I really appreciate how wise you are in handling it.
	♥ 9:31am AbeSomething: I once gave a dude my takeout dinner on the subway platform. He came back two minutes later asking where the drink was. I didn' have one. He was pissed. :)

	9:31am honest Bernardo from Argentina: Gotta remember that the world always used to suck way more than today way more.
	♥ 9:31am Evan from Westfield: Hang in there Clay! Many of us feel similar to you, and we are lucky to have Wake and WFMU to rally around and find comfort in
	♥ 9:32am anne: i would go so far as to say wfmu is a life saver
	9:32am Lana in Bucks County: Thank you Clay so much for your beautiful strength - your vulnerability - and your ability to connect and demonstrate acceptance of others who are different, whether mental health-wise or politically.
	9:32am Kirsten 🍀 Nauset CC: ↳ anne @9:32 Indeed. Agreed.
	9:33am HyperDose: ↳ anne @9:32 for real!
	♥ 9:33am PaulRobeson1925: On the subway I saw a man sit down and ask these toursits over and over for a bite of their sandwitch and then say “nahh i’m just playin! Can i get a bite? Nahh i’m just playin! Can i get a bite…” then he loudly hocked a large spit on the ground and yelled “YOU LEAVE MR.LUGGIE ALONE! LEAVE HIM ALONE” then the scene got weird hold on
	♥ 9:33am Steve Del Sol: ↳ HyperDose @9:33 Absolutely.
	9:34am DJ Guin: Clay is 108 years young.
	9:34am Matty Cannabis: For whatever reasons, it's been more and more difficult to hook up with friends these days, so WFMU has become a boon to my sanity by making me feel like I'm part of something positive that's larger than myself. No pressure, just keep the tunes and love going and keep wakin and bakin'
	9:35am honest Bernardo from Argentina: I miss when nobody gave a shit too
	9:35am GorillaFella: Starting each day with this wonderful community and diverse, rockin tunes means the world to me! Makes my days so much better :)
	9:35am Hot Rodney: Clay’s so sweet taking care of his wife
	♥ 9:35am Steve Del Sol: Careful Clay. There are Hitlers in the grocery line. Don't take your eyes off them.
	9:36am Mark T: Wow, this is powerful dialogue and awesome to hear you open up Clay.
	♥ 9:36am Woo: Why do you think they call it dope?
	9:36am Lana in Bucks County: I think John alluded to the other week, this discourse is fueled by media/ news sales- both left and right - and each individual's recognition and awareness of this will help us re-unite as homo sapiens
	9:38am Lana in Bucks County: Oh John, I love when you vocalize!
	9:38am Charles in Chicago: I haven't smoked since I got COVID for the second time, last May. Feels pretty good.
	9:38am Lana in Bucks County: I love you two. Thank you so much!! xo
	♥ 9:38am PaulRobeson1925: Then a man with one leg on crutches comes through the door between the subway cars and taped to his crutches was a red plastic cup and a JBL speaker blasting spanish music. The man who was yelling at the spit on the ground starts screaming “HE’S FAKING IT! HE DOSN’T HAVE ONE LEG! HE’S FAKING IT. HES FOLLOWING ME! He’s FOLLOWING ME!” Then I cant remeber what he was saying but he went over the help button and started trying to talk into it and get the train to stop.

	9:40am Mark T: Because people don’t speak it’s only rage, rage, rage
	9:40am Philip: hahahaha phrase of the day, "tee off"
	♥ 9:40am PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:39 I was amused at 1st but the hocking of the luggie turned me off

	9:42am Blix: You two are so wrong on this...
	9:42am TerrDE: Roast MJ at 250 F for 25 - 30 minutes 28 is optimum. Makes it 1.5 - 2 times stronger for smoking. But its for eating. 1/8 teaspoon nice high, 2 1/8 tsp really high, 3 1/8tsp U B trippin. More not recommended except for John Lilly is my hero types

	9:49am danny san: For Mr. Dave Emory and his 46 years of hard work and endurance (podcast on WFMU weekly) that his "For The record" program (on 64 GB flash drive) will allow future (that He feels very pessimistic about) generations access as to what happened with our civilization. When I heard his expression 'the underground reich' in 2004 I wondered. Now with Elon Musk`s I heart NAZI gesture there is no doubt now.
	9:49am rx "rexy" scabin: @Marley P. Dogg meritocracy.
	9:49am GorillaFella: ↳ DJ Guin @9:46 Oh hell yeah! I already know your friends appreciated that 🤣
	9:51am Noir Lover: One thing you can do if you like jazz and resistance is see the movie Soundtrack to a Coup d'etet. In theaters now. Up for an Oscar best doc.
	♥ 9:51am rsj: this track is trying to speed through all the missed music from the first 1/3 of the show
	9:51am Rednex: I don't think I can handle America being this great
	9:51am TerrDE: Hi John. I have a suggestion. You could play a tune Clay is unfamiliar w then discuss it afterwards, going off into other topics as the conversation takes its course. That way we're hearing some music from the start.
	9:54am DJ Guin: ↳ GorillaFella @9:49 I discovered that coconut oil hits way harder than butter or tincture. Gummies are a pain in the ass to make. Cookies are good. My brownies are not for weedy tourists.
	9:54am Toothgrinder Tom: @Rednex more like weak.
	9:55am Lease on Ear: This track is like "Time" by Chambers Bros
	♥ 9:55am Polyus: John - I just randomly discovered that there is a movie coming out this year, called Koln '75, based on the story behind Keith Jarrett's Cologne concert. Not a documentary but the story of the young woman who was the promoter that made the show happen. One of those truth-is-stranger-than-fiction stories apparently.
	9:56am DJ Guin: @John - console Clay best you can and seeya on the flippity flop bye kids!
	♥ 10:01am captain beef fart: ↳ Polyus @9:55 only a month until release!
	10:05am estebangrande: hi john and jaamerzz
	10:07am John Allen: ↳ Polyus @9:55 cut to scene where she has tried every piano tuner in west germany, only to find the phone line has been severed.
	10:08am rx "rexy" scabin: Good bye. It is meeting time.
	10:11am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Song: "2 (edit)" by "USA/Mexico" Already regretting not pre-ordering this.
	10:12am GorillaFella: Haha that was sick, kinda sounded like Sunn 0))) and Monarch! Gotta love some doomy drone from time to time
	10:13am Rednex: Did the late Susan Alcorn ever do a version of Cotton Eyed Joe
	♥ 10:13am Polyus: ↳ Noir Lover @9:51 Soundtrack to a Coup d'etet is also currently available to stream on Kanopy, if your local library system has that available.
	10:13am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Rednex @10:13 There is almost absolutely no chance that she did not.
	10:14am hey, play me something(funky) 🎶: Playmesomethingfunkplz.🎶
