	3:35pm Cliff: Cool, will do that then
	3:36pm Linda Lee: ~ fascinating vocal in the Future Bible Heroes. ~ loving the music, Irwin! thank you for helping my day improve. ~
	3:36pm glenn: who the hell does future bible heroes remind me of?
	♥ 3:37pm doctorjazz: Disappointed to hear FOW as the talk over music, thought it was coming on. Nice set...
	3:37pm SeanG: maybe magnetic fields
	3:38pm glenn: and no, it's not magnetic fields.
	3:38pm βrian: My color-pickers sees Eggplant on a field of Orange Peel here.
	3:38pm Cliff: I'm also going to have get Ken's premium "Unintelligible at Any Speed", because of the one track Joe McGasko played of it a couple weeks ago
	♥ 3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Future Bible Heroes is one of several musical groups led by Stephin Merritt, best known for his work with The Magnetic Fields. He shares vocal duties with Claudia Gonson, who sings on the entirety of 2002's Eternal Youth. Wikipedia
	3:43pm Cliff: Good talking up that documentary Irwin, I was going to watch it even before you started playing this track (which is my first time hearing Gordon Thomas)
	♥ 3:43pm Ike: Surely there must be some hippie girls named World Peace somewhere.
	3:44pm Laura L: Somebody needs to update happy Mr. Thomas's Wiki page.
	3:45pm JakeGould: I thought this show song was sung by Andy Breckman. But it isn’t.
	3:45pm Cliff: And R.I.P. Gordon! Love your tunes :D
	♥ 3:45pm doctorjazz: Oy!
	3:45pm JakeGould: @Ike: What about Metta World Peace? en.wikipedia.org...
	3:47pm glenn: thanks gordon. now i don't feel so untalented.
	♥ 3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...does Lyle know the story of him & Dizzy's band?...
	3:47pm Cliff: Do you know if he's a practicing Buddhist, JakeGould? Doesn't seem to say on the wiki page
	♥ 3:48pm BarbR: Oh, I like my name song... :-)
	3:48pm Cliff: HAHAHAHAAHAH RevRabbit!!!! We gotta ask him next time he comes around
	3:50pm Marc15: About Irene Trudell?
	3:50pm JakeGould: @Cliff: I dated a lady named Jasmine once. She told me her parents named her Jasmine because that was the flower near them when the did it in the grass. She didn’t like being named after a plant someone spotted when her parents rolled over after sex. Might as well name your kid “Leaf.”
	3:50pm jan: Always loved this performer as heard on your show. Had not remembered his name, but will thanks to this tribute.
	3:51pm Cliff: Or "Clover"
	3:52pm JakeGould: @Cliff: Exactly.
	3:52pm glenn: or timothy.
	3:54pm JakeGould: @glenn: Or Jesus… Jesus the gardener.
	3:55pm Cliff: Laura L: I made a quick one-sentence addition to his wiki page, somebody with more info can fill in the details.
	3:56pm glenn: timothy's another name for sweetgrass.
	3:57pm CeeDubbles: Margaux Hemingway comes to mind . . .
	4:05pm βrian: I think timothy is another grass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierochloe_odorata I loves me some sweet grass.
	♥ 4:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: That could be how Alfalfa got his name.
	4:08pm JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: Didn’t Alfalfa eat scallions to improve his voice?
	4:09pm βrian: Rapscallions.
	4:17pm FRED: Kenny G is kind of loud behind Mr. Frank on this....
	4:19pm Cliff: Well that's some bedside manner right there
	4:23pm Cliff: Wow, this is brilliant
	4:30pm ChangingHoles: So Damn Good
	♥ 4:35pm Irwin: Something real bad is going to happen.
	♥ 4:35pm Irwin: Joe, get a grip ...
	♥ 4:36pm Irwin: And get a lawyer.
	4:36pm northguineahills: Ah, I've heard this Joe Frank before via Irwin before, nice....
	4:37pm P-90: "malicious exhibitionism" !!!
	4:49pm FRED: Andy Breckman's impersonation of a person without caller ID
	4:50pm CedarPlanck: What is that funk jingle J.Frank uses ? IT was like 15 minutes ago -
	4:52pm Cliff: Earth, Wind, and Fire - Shooting Star
	♥ 4:58pm Irwin: Joe Frank Medical and Recovery Fund: www.gofundme.com...
	5:01pm CeeDubbles: www.gofundme.com... don;t forget the K
	5:02pm Cliff: I remember about 10 years ago the Thursday night WFMU schedule was a half hour of Joe Frank, followed by a half hour of Alan Watts, followed by.............Dave the Spazz!
	5:02pm Cliff: Good times
	♥ 5:05pm Irwin: CeeDub: Thanks! Fixed the link.
	5:06pm Cliff: That lineup was what got me hooked on WFMU originally....eventually I started listening at other times and realized that they meant it when they said they were a freeform radio station
	5:08pm glenn: now i see trump wants the chinese to assassinate kim jong un. that's real leadership.
	5:11pm Cliff: Not necessarily a bad suggestion, glenn
	♥ 5:12pm Irwin: Was thinking the same thing.
	♥ 5:13pm Uncle Michael: As awe as I am of Joe Frank's gifts, I listen in moderation because it's always unsettling. And yay Flute Thing!
	5:16pm Linda Lee: love the flute thing.
	♥ 5:16pm Irwin: Tom Wilson produced this Blues Project album but did not produce this track.
	♥ 5:17pm Uncle Michael: That's pretty interesting. Was it added to the album after his involvement or was it already in the can...or did he produce a version that wasn't used? I know they played it live at Monterrey.
	♥ 5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& then the next General or uncle who'd replace Kin-Jong Un...or let's just start up the Korean War again - it technically never ended I think...
	♥ 5:18pm Uncle Kim: I'm benevolent.
	5:18pm jan: 2nd that @flutething
	♥ 5:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - strategist may not be TheDonald's strong suit...unless there's a bankruptcy court in N.Korea...
	♥ 5:19pm Irwin: Unca Mikey: Two trax on the LP produced by Marcus James. Don't know if there's any backstory.
	5:20pm Linda Lee: suppose Trump doesn't realize an important part of the job od CiC is diplomacy ~ it's not his business to say this sh*t out loud. ~ i don't think he really wants this job ~
	5:20pm jan: And the track that followed
	♥ 5:21pm Irwin: Lyrics to "Nice, Nice ..." by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
	♥ 5:22pm Mike East: strange, strange, very strange...I swear to you Kurt Vonnegut Jr was in my dream last night. He needed a ride to PC Richards.
	5:22pm Richard from Red Hook: Didn't the Beastie Boys sample that Flute song?
	5:22pm glenn: riiiiiiggggghhhhttttt. because that's ALWAYS worked so well in the past.
	5:22pm Linda Lee: (shouldn't post so quick in a dark room, Miss Linda.)
	♥ 5:23pm Mike East: or rather, wanted to know which bus to take to get there and I told him it'd be much easier if I gave him a ride which I would be honored to do.
	♥ 5:23pm dale: ambrosia on fmu and not in an ironic way. bout time!
	♥ 5:23pm Uncle Michael: Richard yes, among many others.
	♥ 5:23pm Uncle Michael: agreed, dale
	♥ 5:24pm dale: irwin - check out 'cowboy star' if you don't know it. but you probably do.' cuz you're irwin.
	♥ 5:25pm Irwin: Cowboy Star by ... who?
	5:25pm Linda Lee: @dale ~ by any chance is that by the New Riders of the Deep Purple Sage?
	5:26pm Lyle: Flute! I remember a man who played flute for the Kenton band. Bear in mind, most big bands didn't employ a full-time flautist. This caused great players like Herbie Mann to abandon the big band world and "go jazz" as we used to say back then. In some ways, the alienation of the flute players may have directly led to the demise of big band itself. Then again, if Mann had been caught up in the big band scene, he might not have gone on to make such game-changing records as Push Push or Stone Flute, though a lot of us older fellows laughed at his shirtless album cover on that Push Push thing. Anyway, Kenton's flautist was very much enamored with Herbie. He even came onstage shirtless at a show in Nippon and Stan fired him straight away. Made him get off the bus right in front of the Budokan. That man was a British fellow. A very young Ian Anderson. Ian eventually met a fellow named Jethro Tull, and the rest is history. Oh, we had some times back then!
	♥ 5:26pm dale: by.....ambrosia.
	5:26pm Cliff: RevRabbit: I think China's pretty embarrassed of the North Korean regime at this point, and nobody else would mind if they'd just take them out themselves and at least install a less repressive puppet. Then maybe reunification talks could get going again.
	5:29pm Cliff: Why look, it's Lyle! Hi, Lyle!
	5:29pm glenn: ummmm. jethro tull died about 300 years ago. he invented the seed drill.
	♥ 5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Of course it would be great to end the KimJong dynasty & feed starving North Koreans! Campaigning on easy solutions where there aren't any is cheap & deceitful.
	5:32pm glenn: or as H.L. Mencken once said "For every complex problem, there is a solution which is clear, simple and wrong".
	♥ 5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Quotable guy.
	♥ 5:33pm Irwin: HLM: "Man will never be fully rounded and perfect, as a cockroach, say, is perfect."
	5:33pm InBrkly: So I just read the gofundme page for Joe Frank and...holy F. I hadn't heard.
	5:33pm Cliff: Of course. And you probably know a lot more about East Asian geopolitics than I do. And Trump is a demagogue for sure. At the same time, it'd be nice for somebody to finally figure out a way to end the North Korean disaster, without China losing face over it.
	5:35pm InBrkly: And it sounds weirdly similar to what happened to KALX dj Sex 14s. I think all his organs shut down. Recovered, but a host of problems.
	5:36pm glenn: so, so, so many great mencken quotes.
	5:38pm Linda Lee: ~ Jesus must love tempo changes.
	♥ 5:38pm Irwin: HLM: "I never lecture, not because I am shy or a bad speaker, but simply because I detest the sort of people who go to lectures and don't want to meet them."
	♥ 5:39pm Irwin: More HLM: "The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line."
	♥ 5:39pm Irwin: one more HLM: "I have spoken of Whittemore as a moron. The term is probably flattering."
	5:40pm Cliff: "It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line" - that one's a killer quote
	5:41pm Buck Owens: "Ain't no money above the fifth fret."
	5:42pm glenn: The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken
	5:42pm Laura L: “The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new.” Samuel Beckett
	5:43pm Cliff: Y'all're sure up on your Mencken quotes.....I need to read more of him
	5:43pm Hardball: Today ... Christie ... Fiorina ... gone ...
	5:43pm Listener Robert: I just got in. Glad you're feeling better this week, Irwin. I might go to that reading of yours at the bar.
	♥ 5:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Trump tries to appeal to the "Simple but wrong" crowd. www.gocomics.com...
	5:44pm Cliff: Dead, or just dropped out?
	5:45pm Clay: I still say when the smoke clears, Jeb! will be the last man standing on the right. Note it here.
	5:45pm Linda Lee: @glenn ~ excellent quote.
	♥ 5:45pm Irwin: I've had Trump Fatigue for two months. IDGAF what he does or says. He's a colossal bore.
	5:46pm Fred R: Sleepwalk! Wow an old FMU staple from the 80's.
	5:46pm Cliff: And then Trump will run independent and split the Republican vote (please, oh God, please, Trump listen to your inflated ego and DO IT)
	5:47pm Linda Lee: @Clay ~my god ~ a Bush/Clinton contest. talk about a colossal bore.. (of course the DNC will shut Sanders out .. )
	♥ 5:47pm Irwin: Actually I've been saying "I've had Trump Fatigue for two months" for two months. So I've endured more extended suffering.
	5:48pm Cliff: Of course it will be Jeb. The Republican establishment makes everyone wait their turn.
	5:48pm Clay: Great show, Ir! Always!
	♥ 5:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Who wasn't sick of Trump before he even ran? I was always sick of him.
	5:49pm Cliff: Linda, not FEELIN' THE BERN?!
	5:49pm Linda Lee: @Cliff ~ not relevant, i'm afraid ~
	♥ 5:50pm Irwin: RRN63: He was less omnipresent, even to someone like me who doesn't follow much mainstream media.
	♥ 5:50pm Irwin: Thanks, Clay! Bet you loved the Ambrosia.
	5:50pm SeanG: today is a good day
	5:51pm Cliff: I donated to him anyway, even if the DNC is determined to make it a lost cause this time he's definitely shaken things up IMO
	5:51pm Linda Lee: excellent!
	5:51pm Cliff: I wanna see how far he'll go.
	5:52pm Laura L: Ir & Clay P oughta do another show together sometime.
	5:52pm Cliff: If he's still in the race for NY's April 19th primary, I'm voting for him for sure
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm chris: i'm with you there, Cliff
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm chris: and with you, Irwin! you had me at Ambrosia
	5:54pm Cliff: Oh, and I'm unemployed too and living off my savings for a while, and I still donated a big chunk of change to him.
	5:54pm Linda Lee: he'll make it to New York for sure ~ no doubt about that. even if he's forced to play defense the whole way ~
	5:54pm wilbur twinhorse: Wow, glenn, you are a disrespectful shi*, in my estimation. You aren't worthy to wipe Ian Anderson's flute, after it was somewhere unmentionable!
	5:54pm JakeGould: The DNC might want to shut Sanders out, but there is just so much they can do. If Sanders consistently wins the popular vote it doesn’t matter about the “super delegates” since it would be too crass to just push Clinton into the nomination that way. I wouldn’t vote for her. Tons of people wouldn’t vote for her. So the DNC would be shooting itself in the foot and hand the election over RNC… I see Sanders winning. Mark it here folks!
	5:55pm glenn: oh boy.
	♥ 5:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I figure it's the Primary - Vote for who you really believe in ...& in Nov. try & stave off disaster as much as possible...
	5:55pm Cliff: Whoa, what'd glenn say to deserve that?! I must've missed it
	5:55pm Linda Lee: nice to see your optimism Jake! ~ unfortunately after the HAVA the popular vote has no integrity at all ~
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm chris: i <3 glenn!
	5:57pm Linda Lee: given a close margin it's incredibly easy to move the vote totals remotely ~ as we saw in 04 with Bev Harris. incredibly easy.
	5:58pm glenn: wilbur reminds of the racists in carl hiassen's book lucky you. polite, but nasty and thicker than two planks.
	5:59pm Linda Lee: i have no hope whatsoever for a fair vote under this system. ~ & that's just about the starting point for meaningful collective action.
	♥ 5:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: glenn is entitled to his opinion about Ian Anderson, if his comment about Jethro Tull dying 300 years ago being about that is even about that which I certainly don't presume.
	5:59pm Clay: Love Ambrosia, Irwin. Thanks! Hope you are drumming this year for the 'Thon.
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm chris: thanks, Irwin!
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks, Irwin.
	6:00pm Cliff: Thanks Irwin!
	♥ 6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'HAVA' - hm...
	♥ 6:00pm SeanG: that last set was awesome
	11:26am wilbur twinhorse: I'd like to offer an apology to glenn for my ill considered and stupid post. I regret it very much and hope you will forgive me for being so rude and boorish. I also apologize to lyle and all the other commenters, and to Irwin Chusid, whose show I enjoy very much...I am sorry, w.t.

	♥ 5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& then the next General or uncle who'd replace Kin-Jong Un...or let's just start up the Korean War again - it technically never ended I think...
	♥ 5:18pm Uncle Kim: I'm benevolent.
	5:18pm jan: 2nd that @flutething
	♥ 5:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - strategist may not be TheDonald's strong suit...unless there's a bankruptcy court in N.Korea...
	♥ 5:19pm Irwin: Unca Mikey: Two trax on the LP produced by Marcus James. Don't know if there's any backstory.
	5:20pm Linda Lee: suppose Trump doesn't realize an important part of the job od CiC is diplomacy ~ it's not his business to say this sh*t out loud. ~ i don't think he really wants this job ~
	5:20pm jan: And the track that followed
	♥ 5:21pm Irwin: Lyrics to "Nice, Nice ..." by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
	♥ 5:22pm Mike East: strange, strange, very strange...I swear to you Kurt Vonnegut Jr was in my dream last night. He needed a ride to PC Richards.
	5:22pm Richard from Red Hook: Didn't the Beastie Boys sample that Flute song?
	5:22pm glenn: riiiiiiggggghhhhttttt. because that's ALWAYS worked so well in the past.
	5:22pm Linda Lee: (shouldn't post so quick in a dark room, Miss Linda.)
	♥ 5:23pm Mike East: or rather, wanted to know which bus to take to get there and I told him it'd be much easier if I gave him a ride which I would be honored to do.
	♥ 5:23pm dale: ambrosia on fmu and not in an ironic way. bout time!
	♥ 5:23pm Uncle Michael: Richard yes, among many others.
	♥ 5:23pm Uncle Michael: agreed, dale
	♥ 5:24pm dale: irwin - check out 'cowboy star' if you don't know it. but you probably do.' cuz you're irwin.
	♥ 5:25pm Irwin: Cowboy Star by ... who?
	5:25pm Linda Lee: @dale ~ by any chance is that by the New Riders of the Deep Purple Sage?
	5:26pm Lyle: Flute! I remember a man who played flute for the Kenton band. Bear in mind, most big bands didn't employ a full-time flautist. This caused great players like Herbie Mann to abandon the big band world and "go jazz" as we used to say back then. In some ways, the alienation of the flute players may have directly led to the demise of big band itself. Then again, if Mann had been caught up in the big band scene, he might not have gone on to make such game-changing records as Push Push or Stone Flute, though a lot of us older fellows laughed at his shirtless album cover on that Push Push thing. Anyway, Kenton's flautist was very much enamored with Herbie. He even came onstage shirtless at a show in Nippon and Stan fired him straight away. Made him get off the bus right in front of the Budokan. That man was a British fellow. A very young Ian Anderson. Ian eventually met a fellow named Jethro Tull, and the rest is history. Oh, we had some times back then!
	♥ 5:26pm dale: by.....ambrosia.
	5:26pm Cliff: RevRabbit: I think China's pretty embarrassed of the North Korean regime at this point, and nobody else would mind if they'd just take them out themselves and at least install a less repressive puppet. Then maybe reunification talks could get going again.
	5:29pm Cliff: Why look, it's Lyle! Hi, Lyle!
	5:29pm glenn: ummmm. jethro tull died about 300 years ago. he invented the seed drill.
	♥ 5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Of course it would be great to end the KimJong dynasty & feed starving North Koreans! Campaigning on easy solutions where there aren't any is cheap & deceitful.
	5:32pm glenn: or as H.L. Mencken once said "For every complex problem, there is a solution which is clear, simple and wrong".
	♥ 5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Quotable guy.
	♥ 5:33pm Irwin: HLM: "Man will never be fully rounded and perfect, as a cockroach, say, is perfect."
	5:33pm InBrkly: So I just read the gofundme page for Joe Frank and...holy F. I hadn't heard.
	5:33pm Cliff: Of course. And you probably know a lot more about East Asian geopolitics than I do. And Trump is a demagogue for sure. At the same time, it'd be nice for somebody to finally figure out a way to end the North Korean disaster, without China losing face over it.
	5:35pm InBrkly: And it sounds weirdly similar to what happened to KALX dj Sex 14s. I think all his organs shut down. Recovered, but a host of problems.
	5:36pm glenn: so, so, so many great mencken quotes.
	5:38pm Linda Lee: ~ Jesus must love tempo changes.
	♥ 5:38pm Irwin: HLM: "I never lecture, not because I am shy or a bad speaker, but simply because I detest the sort of people who go to lectures and don't want to meet them."
	♥ 5:39pm Irwin: More HLM: "The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line."
	♥ 5:39pm Irwin: one more HLM: "I have spoken of Whittemore as a moron. The term is probably flattering."
	5:40pm Cliff: "It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line" - that one's a killer quote
	5:41pm Buck Owens: "Ain't no money above the fifth fret."
	5:42pm glenn: The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken
	5:42pm Laura L: “The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new.” Samuel Beckett
	5:43pm Cliff: Y'all're sure up on your Mencken quotes.....I need to read more of him
	5:43pm Hardball: Today ... Christie ... Fiorina ... gone ...
	5:43pm Listener Robert: I just got in. Glad you're feeling better this week, Irwin. I might go to that reading of yours at the bar.
	♥ 5:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Trump tries to appeal to the "Simple but wrong" crowd. www.gocomics.com...
	5:44pm Cliff: Dead, or just dropped out?
	5:45pm Clay: I still say when the smoke clears, Jeb! will be the last man standing on the right. Note it here.
	5:45pm Linda Lee: @glenn ~ excellent quote.
	♥ 5:45pm Irwin: I've had Trump Fatigue for two months. IDGAF what he does or says. He's a colossal bore.
	5:46pm Fred R: Sleepwalk! Wow an old FMU staple from the 80's.
	5:46pm Cliff: And then Trump will run independent and split the Republican vote (please, oh God, please, Trump listen to your inflated ego and DO IT)
	5:47pm Linda Lee: @Clay ~my god ~ a Bush/Clinton contest. talk about a colossal bore.. (of course the DNC will shut Sanders out .. )
	♥ 5:47pm Irwin: Actually I've been saying "I've had Trump Fatigue for two months" for two months. So I've endured more extended suffering.
	5:48pm Cliff: Of course it will be Jeb. The Republican establishment makes everyone wait their turn.
	5:48pm Clay: Great show, Ir! Always!
	♥ 5:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Who wasn't sick of Trump before he even ran? I was always sick of him.
	5:49pm Cliff: Linda, not FEELIN' THE BERN?!
	5:49pm Linda Lee: @Cliff ~ not relevant, i'm afraid ~
	♥ 5:50pm Irwin: RRN63: He was less omnipresent, even to someone like me who doesn't follow much mainstream media.
	♥ 5:50pm Irwin: Thanks, Clay! Bet you loved the Ambrosia.
	5:50pm SeanG: today is a good day
	5:51pm Cliff: I donated to him anyway, even if the DNC is determined to make it a lost cause this time he's definitely shaken things up IMO
	5:51pm Linda Lee: excellent!
	5:51pm Cliff: I wanna see how far he'll go.
	5:52pm Laura L: Ir & Clay P oughta do another show together sometime.
	5:52pm Cliff: If he's still in the race for NY's April 19th primary, I'm voting for him for sure
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm chris: i'm with you there, Cliff
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm chris: and with you, Irwin! you had me at Ambrosia
	5:54pm Cliff: Oh, and I'm unemployed too and living off my savings for a while, and I still donated a big chunk of change to him.
	5:54pm Linda Lee: he'll make it to New York for sure ~ no doubt about that. even if he's forced to play defense the whole way ~
	5:54pm wilbur twinhorse: Wow, glenn, you are a disrespectful shi*, in my estimation. You aren't worthy to wipe Ian Anderson's flute, after it was somewhere unmentionable!
	5:54pm JakeGould: The DNC might want to shut Sanders out, but there is just so much they can do. If Sanders consistently wins the popular vote it doesn’t matter about the “super delegates” since it would be too crass to just push Clinton into the nomination that way. I wouldn’t vote for her. Tons of people wouldn’t vote for her. So the DNC would be shooting itself in the foot and hand the election over RNC… I see Sanders winning. Mark it here folks!
	5:55pm glenn: oh boy.
	♥ 5:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I figure it's the Primary - Vote for who you really believe in ...& in Nov. try & stave off disaster as much as possible...
	5:55pm Cliff: Whoa, what'd glenn say to deserve that?! I must've missed it
	5:55pm Linda Lee: nice to see your optimism Jake! ~ unfortunately after the HAVA the popular vote has no integrity at all ~
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm chris: i <3 glenn!
	5:57pm Linda Lee: given a close margin it's incredibly easy to move the vote totals remotely ~ as we saw in 04 with Bev Harris. incredibly easy.
	5:58pm glenn: wilbur reminds of the racists in carl hiassen's book lucky you. polite, but nasty and thicker than two planks.
	5:59pm Linda Lee: i have no hope whatsoever for a fair vote under this system. ~ & that's just about the starting point for meaningful collective action.
	♥ 5:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: glenn is entitled to his opinion about Ian Anderson, if his comment about Jethro Tull dying 300 years ago being about that is even about that which I certainly don't presume.
	5:59pm Clay: Love Ambrosia, Irwin. Thanks! Hope you are drumming this year for the 'Thon.
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm chris: thanks, Irwin!
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks, Irwin.
	6:00pm Cliff: Thanks Irwin!
	♥ 6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'HAVA' - hm...
	♥ 6:00pm SeanG: that last set was awesome
	11:26am wilbur twinhorse: I'd like to offer an apology to glenn for my ill considered and stupid post. I regret it very much and hope you will forgive me for being so rude and boorish. I also apologize to lyle and all the other commenters, and to Irwin Chusid, whose show I enjoy very much...I am sorry, w.t.
