It bit my lower leg, bloodily, and then let go and grabbed onto my foot (which was in a toe clip) and wouldn't let go. I had to beat it off with my tire pump. It was mean. It lived outside on a leash, which it broke that day. I rode by that house much faster and more silently after that.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:21 oops -head cocked, ha ha
	12:22pm Elle Tor’s Husband: A history lesson

	♥ 12:30pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:29 Chronic. My dad realized he wanted to be a doctor after tending to his family bulldog's ears and nose.
	♥ 12:31pm McGroovey: ↳ tim @12:24 It was big and muscular and mean. The owner kept getting bigger and stronger chains.
	♥ 12:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @12:24 Our friends' chow wouldn't give Bagpipe the time of day but actually seems to like Radio. I think his pro-rolling-in-goose-shit platform swayed her.
	12:32pm Toothgrinder Tom: @clarke if I remember correctly, the boxer breed was created partly from bulldogs and partly from other breeds.
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:30 you must whippet.

	12:34pm Tinley Park Randy: I’m campaigning for next years SB halftime show to be DEVO.
	♥ 12:34pm ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): ↳ Song: "whip it" by "devo" One of the first records I ever owned!
	12:35pm clarke: anyone going to the DEVO thing at Radio City? my friend josh is playing guitar w/devo.
	♥ 12:37pm tim: "What the hell? Where's Clive Langer already? This station's gone to the dogs."
	♥ 12:38pm Hughie Considine: ↳ tim @12:37 I resisted making that joke, but I see you couldn't help yourself.
	12:38pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: DEVO gotta be a great show!! (⁠ﾉ⁠⁠0⁠⁠)⁠ﾉ that's one for the vision board
	12:38pm Beast of Boonton: Elton John: "The biach is back"
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:38 he has a nose for humor.
	♥ 12:40pm tim: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:38 Don't worry. I take any opportunity to post a really bad pun for yuks.

	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Matt en Queens @12:42 maybe they already did the radio city anniversary special. sorry!
	♥ 12:44pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "don't look" by "nervus rex" Such a great song.
	♥ 12:44pm B R M: Lurking, listening, loving the show.
	♥ 12:44pm B R M: ↳ Matt en Queens @12:42 yes, the Brooklyn Paramount
	12:45pm Dan from PEI: Woof, woof.
	12:45pm michael e: Fabulous single
	♥ 12:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ B R M @12:44 Holding out for the Brooklyn Paramour.
	12:46pm clarke: can one purchase frankfurters at a dog show?
	♥ 12:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "there she goes" by "nervus rex" Don't know this band at all, but this is great.
	♥ 12:48pm efd: ↳ michael e @12:45 All-time great! One of my most prized possessions.
	♥ 12:49pm artbrau: These guys sound like they could have been on the "20 Of Another Kind" compilation.

	♥ 2:21pm efd: ↳ Patrick S. @2:19 never saw him live, somehow
	2:22pm OceanBeachSF: I remember there was another Bowie track on Absolute Beginners, “That’s Motivation”. I’m assuming he did that one too?

	2:23pm clarke: ↳ Patrick S. @2:22 just love his playing.

	♥ 2:25pm efd: ↳ OceanBeachSF @2:22 not sure, it could have been a different session with a different crew but I have no idea.
	♥ 2:25pm evancuts: I did a deep dive into China Crisis during Covid. Arizona Sky really holds up. Beautiful sound on that record.
	♥ 2:25pm Patrick S.: Now I wanna watch Absolute Beginners. Dangit.
	2:26pm Andres: ↳ Song: "absolute beginners (full length version)" by "dav... Pure gold. So great.

	♥ 2:27pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "birdhouse in your soul" by "they might be giants" As a nerdy kid from the '90s I am physically compelled to stop what I'm doing and sing along every word of this.
	2:28pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: 🐦🏡💡💖
	2:28pm Toothgrinder Tom: @evancuts ooh, ‘Arizona Sky’ - very moving song.
	♥ 2:28pm evancuts: TMBG was the first concert I ever took my kids to. They did a matinee at Montclair State focused on their kids music and then that evening did a "grownups" show. 2004 or 2005. My kids are both in college now!
	2:28pm ?: didnt they use this in Pushing Daisies?

	♥ 2:31pm The Oscar: Never knew you grew up with TMBG-- wow!!
	2:31pm OceanBeachSF: ↳ Patrick S. @2:19 I remember he did that one on that tour. Saw it in Chicago. I thought it was interesting Bowie considered Glass Spider a realized version of the Diamond Dogs spectacle stage show he had to ditch in the 70s. He also did “Heroes”, which was a real treat.
	♥ 2:31pm efd: the third "one last question..."
	♥ 2:31pm efd: ↳ efd @2:31 Columbo of the airwaves over here
	♥ 2:32pm evancuts: Here's my TMBG story--I was a producer on the Daily Show and our theme song was by Bob Mould--which we thought was awesome. Jon Stewart came on the year after I arrived and the theme song was supplanted by a TMBG version of "Dog on Fire." I always preferred the Bob Mould originial version!
	♥ 2:32pm B R M: ↳ efd @2:31 to be fair to you, they are all great last questions
	2:32pm clarke: one more question ma'am!
	♥ 2:34pm Crafty: ↳ Song: "absolute beginners (full length version)" by "dav... a real testament to the timelessness of Bowie that he's still putting out hits in the year 19786!
	2:36pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: @evancuts neato! TMBG are ubiquitous in the theme song world after all
