	12:02pm Doug Schulkind: Seriously? EVERY goddong thing?
	12:02pm doctorjazz: Hey all, happy Friday, all!
	12:02pm ndbob: afternoon UM James Glenn Doug everyone!
	12:03pm ndbob: and Melinda
	12:04pm Jeff g.: Can I clarify you with these rootabagas instead?
	12:04pm Jeff g.: * ugh classify
	🛒 12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...stay away from tryptophan, kids...
	12:04pm mauri: monkey biznezz
	12:05pm Uncle Michael: James! Glenn! Melinda! Doug! Doc! Bob! Jeff! Rev! Mauri!
	12:06pm Dean: Ketjak! (Didn't Telly Savalas play him?)
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	12:07pm doctorjazz: Slightly different take on Cold Turkey, though I felt a bit like Lennon at the end of the song, at the end of my meal...
	12:09pm doctorjazz: Steely Dan! Great tune!
	🛒 12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...cause those Commie Beatles encouraged a whole Generation to take drugs - don'chaknow...I guess Paul & Co. passed on that as the next Beatles single...
	12:10pm Thelonious Funk: A song from the good Donald! Black Friday also reminds me of Big Black Cow from Steely Dan.
	12:11pm Dean: Wait, it's "Cold Turkey"? I always thought "Cold Church Key." You know, the one Mummy needed a hand finding in the snow.
	12:11pm glenn: just how old a thing is black friday, anyway?
	12:12pm hyde: oh, here you are
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: 1929
	12:12pm glenn: the retail thingy, not the song thingy.
	12:12pm Dean: So depressing.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Thelonius! Hyde!
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Catharsis coming after we Boogie Down. Brace yourselves. Or Bryce yourselves.
	12:21pm listener james from westwood: @glenn: 1961 is when the OED dates the first citation in the way we currently mean it.
	12:29pm listener james from westwood: (I only know this deeply nerdy fact b/c it came up in my Twitter feed earlier today, not b/c I'm the reincarnation of Bentley, the know-it-all neighbor in "The Jeffersons." Not usually at least.)
	12:30pm doctorjazz: Really LJFW? Surprising, don't remember the frenzy when I was a kid as we have it these days.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: A regular Cliff Claven?
	12:32pm doctorjazz: Great Beach Boys, always loved this album.
	12:32pm Dean: More nerdishness: OED also points to a '51 reference to the day as a holiday: "‘Friday-after-Thanksgiving-itis’ is a disease second only to the bubonic plague in its effects... When you decide you want to sweeten up the holiday kitty, pick Black Friday to add to the list..Friday after Thanksgiving is the company's seventh paid holiday." Only just realized why "black" is so fitting, too: "a day on which retailers' accounts went from being in the red to being in the black..."
	12:36pm doctorjazz: Can I say this is a great, fabulous set? Have to do some errands, trapped at my computer...
	12:36pm Dean: Evidently, Philly was especially prone to congestion.
	12:37pm doctorjazz: Aretha? Great!!!!!
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Yes, you may.
	🛒 12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When working a CD store - someone had left behind Disc 3 of the BeachBoys' 'Good Vibration' box - fairly beat w/ no case. I nabbed it & love it - the period they got to by Disc3. & love discovering what becomes essential music in such serendipitous manner, especially. Staples - arresting.
	12:37pm listener james from westwood: @Dean, it took me a long time to equate black and profit on that one, too.
	12:38pm Dean: This is mind-bending. Every time I hear Adele sing this I think, "Who she think she is? Aretha?!"
	🛒 12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'in the black, in the red' - they make up for the whole year w/ Xmas frenzy...unbalanced, mad...
	12:39pm doctorjazz: Ohhh...I never got the "Black" part of it, feel dumb.
	12:40pm glenn: which begs the question, why, on the day you become profitable, would you sell stuff at a huge discount?
	🛒 12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just dig two trenches facing each other - & on a signal - throw random expensive consumer goods bought w/ most of life savings @ the other trench. Catch what you can from the other trench. On a signal minutes later - you stop. Xmas sorted...
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: loss-leaders get people in the door, Glenn
	12:43pm Dean: Well, the discounts aren't all that huge. It's the promotion of "huge discounts" that draws 'em in. @doctorjazz: Please don't feel dumb. I have these "duh!" moments on about a weekly basis. For instance, I only recently realized that the "labor" in "laboratory" means...labor!
	12:44pm glenn: i guess. i've never been to a black friday sale yet.
	12:45pm Dean: Reprising my comment from Doug's show, John Ashcroft!
	🛒 12:45pm Brian in UK: Ivor Cutler
	12:46pm Dean: Kid Rock?
	12:46pm Dean: Leslie West?
	12:46pm Dean: Cliff Richards?
	12:48pm Dean: Claudio Monteverdi? (Oops, older than 60 years!)
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: You people...
	12:50pm listener james from westwood: That bird from Hatebeak? Who may also be named Hatebeak?
	12:53pm glenn: oh, dusty.
	12:54pm listener james from westwood: And hell yes to this Sandie track!
	12:59pm Doug Schulkind: Nice crowd of us—family and friends visiting from outta town—gathered gnoshing leftovers and digging the hell out of Hinky Dinky Time!
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Save the pupick for me.
	1:05pm listener james from westwood: Binders full of Bingle!
	🛒 1:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dig the Planet Seven on the yARdies !
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: Why hasn't Aretha covered Radio Ethiopia?
	1:18pm Dean: Waiting for Patti to cover "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man."
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Fair is fair, I suppose.
	🛒 1:19pm Brian in UK: She's right you know.
	🛒 1:20pm Brian in UK: Can anyone smell toast?
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: Brian! Are you having a stroke?
	🛒 1:22pm Brian in UK: That is a personal question, Uncle.
	🛒 1:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I wish I was in the Patti Smith Group. I think I'd be a good fit.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: It's OK, I'm a doctor.
	🛒 1:24pm Brian in UK: Well that is fine. I am a Phlebotomist. Can I see your arm.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: I don't have any bumps on my arm.
	🛒 1:28pm Brian in UK: Reminds me of Tent by the Bonzoes with the bizarre line 'My baby is as beautiful as a tourniquet'.
	🛒 1:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nick Drake 19 June 1948 – 25 November 1974
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Jesus...I didn't know.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Maybe my subconscious knows.
	🛒 1:34pm Brian in UK: In a packet of Rizla cigarette rolling papers there used to be a slip of paper with the legend Five Leaves Left so you knew when the packet was running out. I guess you knew that already.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: My subconscious knew.
	🛒 1:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Brought to my attn because of fb post said it was his b-day...I knew that was wrong...
	1:40pm Dean: My subconscious knows the winning lotto numbers three days in advance. Helluva lotta good that does anybody.
	1:48pm glenn: to be honest, this is about the only jam song i like.
	1:49pm melinda: I like this Jam
	1:51pm glenn: and i really dislike the style council.
	🛒 1:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I like a bunch of Jam - but the writing on this one is worthy of their influences...
	🛒 1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Eton Rifles' is a good'un...but nevermind...
	🛒 1:57pm Brian in UK: My ears were hearing Rock 'n Roll Soap. Think FMU have done that already.
	1:58pm glenn: oh, i like eton rifles too. and going underground. and this is the modern world. hmmm. maybe i like them more than i thought.
	2:00pm glenn: and they do a credible version of move on up.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: see?
	🛒 2:00pm Brian in UK: glenn like you not a big fan (more a medium) but the singles did demand your attention.
	🛒 2:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A Cavern Club standard. A real good little doc is 'John Lennon's Jukebox' if you can find it not chopped into too many bits on YT...
	2:01pm glenn: but i'll always hate the style council, and that's all she wrote.
	🛒 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thing about the Jam is they were Revivalists - so you naturally ask how for real & themselves they ever were...'Town Called Malice'...
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: I have never heard the revivalism in their less-R&B stuff. Close your eyes to the wardrobe and they're less revivalist that 10,000 Beatlesque bands are. They never sounded amything like the Who to me.
	🛒 2:07pm Brian in UK: Loving the Freeform, Uncle. To the kitchen, still listening.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Brian!
	2:10pm Dean: Yeah, they kinda sounded more like Doctor Feelgood, but they did fashion themselves as neo-Mods, and "Away from the Numbers" on the first album was Who-sey. I never thought Cheap Trick sounded like The Beatles, either, but that was the word c.1978.
	2:11pm ?: @um resetting our controls for the heart of great selecting from at least 1929 to at least 2:10:20 PM EST
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Is that you, John?
	2:12pm johnk77: @um has me sussed:>
	🛒 2:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well said - I mean that's what's in people's heads, really - 'Mod Revivalists'. I think Weller was well in w/ the Punk era ethic of not kowtowing to Elders - he was never stymied by awe in Townshend's presence for instance...I think a lot of what they did was a restatement of TheWho ('This Is the Modern World') - but also 'Revolver' Beatles, U.S. R&B, Kinks... Interesting Dean: I think Back Then we were closer to the Sources & it was a Thing - less now PostPostPost-Modern; we forgive people for references more immediately...I think Move w/ the Trick a lot, actually... 'Open up yer eyes & yer ears & yer influenced & there ain't a damn thing you can do about it'... - Dylan.
	🛒 2:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in a way - I've thot of all of Punk as what TheWho should've been doing by then...
	2:15pm Dean: That "Open up yer eyes..." quote, RRN63, is at least as well put as many of Harold Bloom's own musings on influence.
	2:16pm johnk77: @rr3+@dean looking at it from an elderly pov for example phil lynott was more sympathetic to punk + skinny tie at the time
	2:17pm Dean: I am deeply familiar with an elderly pov, johnk77, trust me.
	🛒 2:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or - put it another way - Cheap Trick came close to the ideal fantasy Power Pop: equal parts Beatle & Who...
	2:19pm Dean: It's indisputable, though, that Jagger & Richards owe everything to Eileen Wilson.
	2:19pm johnk77: only known film with synchronized sound showing the group at the Cavern Club. above from wikipedia so perhaps @um the sync was post?
	🛒 2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's scary how good & important a Writer Hank was.
	2:21pm Dean: My subconscious knew.
	2:21pm glenn: dan penn is god.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: This guy had it goin' on too.
	2:23pm johnk77: in the late seventies robin did not deny that cheap trick started somewhat as a beatles cover band also guitar collecting crucial
	2:24pm listener james from westwood: Registering two thumbs up for that "Cold, Cold Heart" cover.
	2:27pm Dean: I remember that, johnk77. Then there were the not-so-subtle references (Taxman, ELO Kiddies), but still, I felt like I had to listen to them from a certain angle to get the talk about influence. Sure loved them.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: It's interesting to put Cheap Trick into a context that follows Big Star and The Raspberries.
	2:29pm Alex In Illinois: Hi. I've been listening while assembling shelves in the garage. Just reading the comments while having some lunch. Back to the garage now.
	2:29pm listener james from westwood: Don't be dissin' fat men having dinner, Frankie, that's like half the Chicago Outfit.
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: Hey Alex!
	2:31pm Dean: For sure. And Pink Fairies. At the time, no question I wanted to be in The Raspberries or even just a second rate power pop band. Anybody remember The Pop?
	2:32pm melinda: Melanie!
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Melinda! Yes, Dean.
	🛒 2:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great cover. The Stones followed The Beatles' cues - but here's one case they really rose to it.
	2:39pm johnk77: the raspberries outta cleveland my music tastes formed neohio 1959-1970 in mansfield at the time one of my favorite live local bands james gang
	2:40pm melinda: Nice 4 Strong Winds.
	2:41pm melinda: I read that Ian Tyson felt the need to write a song about wind in response to 'Blowin' in the Wind'.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Wind is where the money is.
	2:44pm melinda: Exactly.
	2:45pm Dean: It's the day after Thanksgiving and you're all talking about wind. What, natural gas next?
	2:46pm Dean: Might have to spin this Dylan record in full tonight.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: It's his masterpiece.
	2:48pm Dean: I remember hearing it on the radio, played in full when it came out. I wasn't even a Dylan fan at the time, but it impressed me.
	2:49pm johnk77: great speckled bird was killer live other misc. facts both dion and my late mother were born in the bronx
	2:49pm listener james from westwood: Absolutely got-damn yes, Harold Melvin!
	2:50pm glenn: i'm pretty sure ian tyson paid for his ranch in alberta with the royalties from four strong winds.
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Thanks for another great show, UM, great weekend all!
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Man...the tension and release when the chorus comes in on Don't Leave Me This Way...whew...
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Doc!
	2:54pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:54pm johnk77: just another killer show @um shoutouts to all commenters from the boogie-down
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone! See you next week. Go shop...for America!
	2:57pm Dean: E Pluribus Two-for-One!
	2:57pm listener james from westwood: UM, the whole track is just nonstop ASMR for me. Amazing. Thanks muchly for today's program!!
	🛒 2:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx UM!
	🛒 3:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'd go w/ 'Bringing It All Back Home' - but 'Blood' & 'Desire' the 2nd major peak deffo...
	3:01pm melinda: wow, 3:00 already. Thanks Uncle M!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: bye all!
	11:39am Stanley: Yup. That was well worth catching up on. Thanks Uncle Michael.

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	12:10pm Thelonious Funk: A song from the good Donald! Black Friday also reminds me of Big Black Cow from Steely Dan.
	12:11pm Dean: Wait, it's "Cold Turkey"? I always thought "Cold Church Key." You know, the one Mummy needed a hand finding in the snow.
	12:11pm glenn: just how old a thing is black friday, anyway?
	12:12pm hyde: oh, here you are
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: 1929
	12:12pm glenn: the retail thingy, not the song thingy.
	12:12pm Dean: So depressing.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Thelonius! Hyde!
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Catharsis coming after we Boogie Down. Brace yourselves. Or Bryce yourselves.
	12:21pm listener james from westwood: @glenn: 1961 is when the OED dates the first citation in the way we currently mean it.
	12:29pm listener james from westwood: (I only know this deeply nerdy fact b/c it came up in my Twitter feed earlier today, not b/c I'm the reincarnation of Bentley, the know-it-all neighbor in "The Jeffersons." Not usually at least.)
	12:30pm doctorjazz: Really LJFW? Surprising, don't remember the frenzy when I was a kid as we have it these days.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: A regular Cliff Claven?
	12:32pm doctorjazz: Great Beach Boys, always loved this album.
	12:32pm Dean: More nerdishness: OED also points to a '51 reference to the day as a holiday: "‘Friday-after-Thanksgiving-itis’ is a disease second only to the bubonic plague in its effects... When you decide you want to sweeten up the holiday kitty, pick Black Friday to add to the list..Friday after Thanksgiving is the company's seventh paid holiday." Only just realized why "black" is so fitting, too: "a day on which retailers' accounts went from being in the red to being in the black..."
	12:36pm doctorjazz: Can I say this is a great, fabulous set? Have to do some errands, trapped at my computer...
	12:36pm Dean: Evidently, Philly was especially prone to congestion.
	12:37pm doctorjazz: Aretha? Great!!!!!
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Yes, you may.
	🛒 12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When working a CD store - someone had left behind Disc 3 of the BeachBoys' 'Good Vibration' box - fairly beat w/ no case. I nabbed it & love it - the period they got to by Disc3. & love discovering what becomes essential music in such serendipitous manner, especially. Staples - arresting.
	12:37pm listener james from westwood: @Dean, it took me a long time to equate black and profit on that one, too.
	12:38pm Dean: This is mind-bending. Every time I hear Adele sing this I think, "Who she think she is? Aretha?!"
	🛒 12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'in the black, in the red' - they make up for the whole year w/ Xmas frenzy...unbalanced, mad...
	12:39pm doctorjazz: Ohhh...I never got the "Black" part of it, feel dumb.
	12:40pm glenn: which begs the question, why, on the day you become profitable, would you sell stuff at a huge discount?
	🛒 12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just dig two trenches facing each other - & on a signal - throw random expensive consumer goods bought w/ most of life savings @ the other trench. Catch what you can from the other trench. On a signal minutes later - you stop. Xmas sorted...
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: loss-leaders get people in the door, Glenn
	12:43pm Dean: Well, the discounts aren't all that huge. It's the promotion of "huge discounts" that draws 'em in. @doctorjazz: Please don't feel dumb. I have these "duh!" moments on about a weekly basis. For instance, I only recently realized that the "labor" in "laboratory" means...labor!
	12:44pm glenn: i guess. i've never been to a black friday sale yet.
	12:45pm Dean: Reprising my comment from Doug's show, John Ashcroft!
	🛒 12:45pm Brian in UK: Ivor Cutler
	12:46pm Dean: Kid Rock?
	12:46pm Dean: Leslie West?
	12:46pm Dean: Cliff Richards?
	12:48pm Dean: Claudio Monteverdi? (Oops, older than 60 years!)
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: You people...
	12:50pm listener james from westwood: That bird from Hatebeak? Who may also be named Hatebeak?
	12:53pm glenn: oh, dusty.
	12:54pm listener james from westwood: And hell yes to this Sandie track!
	12:59pm Doug Schulkind: Nice crowd of us—family and friends visiting from outta town—gathered gnoshing leftovers and digging the hell out of Hinky Dinky Time!
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Save the pupick for me.
	1:05pm listener james from westwood: Binders full of Bingle!
	🛒 1:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dig the Planet Seven on the yARdies !
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: Why hasn't Aretha covered Radio Ethiopia?
	1:18pm Dean: Waiting for Patti to cover "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man."
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Fair is fair, I suppose.
	🛒 1:19pm Brian in UK: She's right you know.
	🛒 1:20pm Brian in UK: Can anyone smell toast?
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: Brian! Are you having a stroke?
	🛒 1:22pm Brian in UK: That is a personal question, Uncle.
	🛒 1:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I wish I was in the Patti Smith Group. I think I'd be a good fit.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: It's OK, I'm a doctor.
	🛒 1:24pm Brian in UK: Well that is fine. I am a Phlebotomist. Can I see your arm.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: I don't have any bumps on my arm.
	🛒 1:28pm Brian in UK: Reminds me of Tent by the Bonzoes with the bizarre line 'My baby is as beautiful as a tourniquet'.
	🛒 1:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nick Drake 19 June 1948 – 25 November 1974
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Jesus...I didn't know.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Maybe my subconscious knows.
	🛒 1:34pm Brian in UK: In a packet of Rizla cigarette rolling papers there used to be a slip of paper with the legend Five Leaves Left so you knew when the packet was running out. I guess you knew that already.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: My subconscious knew.
	🛒 1:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Brought to my attn because of fb post said it was his b-day...I knew that was wrong...
	1:40pm Dean: My subconscious knows the winning lotto numbers three days in advance. Helluva lotta good that does anybody.
	1:48pm glenn: to be honest, this is about the only jam song i like.
	1:49pm melinda: I like this Jam
	1:51pm glenn: and i really dislike the style council.
	🛒 1:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I like a bunch of Jam - but the writing on this one is worthy of their influences...
	🛒 1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Eton Rifles' is a good'un...but nevermind...
	🛒 1:57pm Brian in UK: My ears were hearing Rock 'n Roll Soap. Think FMU have done that already.
	1:58pm glenn: oh, i like eton rifles too. and going underground. and this is the modern world. hmmm. maybe i like them more than i thought.
	2:00pm glenn: and they do a credible version of move on up.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: see?
	🛒 2:00pm Brian in UK: glenn like you not a big fan (more a medium) but the singles did demand your attention.
	🛒 2:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A Cavern Club standard. A real good little doc is 'John Lennon's Jukebox' if you can find it not chopped into too many bits on YT...
	2:01pm glenn: but i'll always hate the style council, and that's all she wrote.
	🛒 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thing about the Jam is they were Revivalists - so you naturally ask how for real & themselves they ever were...'Town Called Malice'...
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: I have never heard the revivalism in their less-R&B stuff. Close your eyes to the wardrobe and they're less revivalist that 10,000 Beatlesque bands are. They never sounded amything like the Who to me.
	🛒 2:07pm Brian in UK: Loving the Freeform, Uncle. To the kitchen, still listening.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Brian!
	2:10pm Dean: Yeah, they kinda sounded more like Doctor Feelgood, but they did fashion themselves as neo-Mods, and "Away from the Numbers" on the first album was Who-sey. I never thought Cheap Trick sounded like The Beatles, either, but that was the word c.1978.
	2:11pm ?: @um resetting our controls for the heart of great selecting from at least 1929 to at least 2:10:20 PM EST
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Is that you, John?
	2:12pm johnk77: @um has me sussed:>
	🛒 2:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well said - I mean that's what's in people's heads, really - 'Mod Revivalists'. I think Weller was well in w/ the Punk era ethic of not kowtowing to Elders - he was never stymied by awe in Townshend's presence for instance...I think a lot of what they did was a restatement of TheWho ('This Is the Modern World') - but also 'Revolver' Beatles, U.S. R&B, Kinks... Interesting Dean: I think Back Then we were closer to the Sources & it was a Thing - less now PostPostPost-Modern; we forgive people for references more immediately...I think Move w/ the Trick a lot, actually... 'Open up yer eyes & yer ears & yer influenced & there ain't a damn thing you can do about it'... - Dylan.
	🛒 2:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in a way - I've thot of all of Punk as what TheWho should've been doing by then...
	2:15pm Dean: That "Open up yer eyes..." quote, RRN63, is at least as well put as many of Harold Bloom's own musings on influence.
	2:16pm johnk77: @rr3+@dean looking at it from an elderly pov for example phil lynott was more sympathetic to punk + skinny tie at the time
	2:17pm Dean: I am deeply familiar with an elderly pov, johnk77, trust me.
	🛒 2:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or - put it another way - Cheap Trick came close to the ideal fantasy Power Pop: equal parts Beatle & Who...
	2:19pm Dean: It's indisputable, though, that Jagger & Richards owe everything to Eileen Wilson.
	2:19pm johnk77: only known film with synchronized sound showing the group at the Cavern Club. above from wikipedia so perhaps @um the sync was post?
	🛒 2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's scary how good & important a Writer Hank was.
	2:21pm Dean: My subconscious knew.
	2:21pm glenn: dan penn is god.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: This guy had it goin' on too.
	2:23pm johnk77: in the late seventies robin did not deny that cheap trick started somewhat as a beatles cover band also guitar collecting crucial
	2:24pm listener james from westwood: Registering two thumbs up for that "Cold, Cold Heart" cover.
	2:27pm Dean: I remember that, johnk77. Then there were the not-so-subtle references (Taxman, ELO Kiddies), but still, I felt like I had to listen to them from a certain angle to get the talk about influence. Sure loved them.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: It's interesting to put Cheap Trick into a context that follows Big Star and The Raspberries.
	2:29pm Alex In Illinois: Hi. I've been listening while assembling shelves in the garage. Just reading the comments while having some lunch. Back to the garage now.
	2:29pm listener james from westwood: Don't be dissin' fat men having dinner, Frankie, that's like half the Chicago Outfit.
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: Hey Alex!
	2:31pm Dean: For sure. And Pink Fairies. At the time, no question I wanted to be in The Raspberries or even just a second rate power pop band. Anybody remember The Pop?
	2:32pm melinda: Melanie!
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Melinda! Yes, Dean.
	🛒 2:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great cover. The Stones followed The Beatles' cues - but here's one case they really rose to it.
	2:39pm johnk77: the raspberries outta cleveland my music tastes formed neohio 1959-1970 in mansfield at the time one of my favorite live local bands james gang
	2:40pm melinda: Nice 4 Strong Winds.
	2:41pm melinda: I read that Ian Tyson felt the need to write a song about wind in response to 'Blowin' in the Wind'.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Wind is where the money is.
	2:44pm melinda: Exactly.
	2:45pm Dean: It's the day after Thanksgiving and you're all talking about wind. What, natural gas next?
	2:46pm Dean: Might have to spin this Dylan record in full tonight.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: It's his masterpiece.
	2:48pm Dean: I remember hearing it on the radio, played in full when it came out. I wasn't even a Dylan fan at the time, but it impressed me.
	2:49pm johnk77: great speckled bird was killer live other misc. facts both dion and my late mother were born in the bronx
	2:49pm listener james from westwood: Absolutely got-damn yes, Harold Melvin!
	2:50pm glenn: i'm pretty sure ian tyson paid for his ranch in alberta with the royalties from four strong winds.
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Thanks for another great show, UM, great weekend all!
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Man...the tension and release when the chorus comes in on Don't Leave Me This Way...whew...
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Doc!
	2:54pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:54pm johnk77: just another killer show @um shoutouts to all commenters from the boogie-down
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone! See you next week. Go shop...for America!
	2:57pm Dean: E Pluribus Two-for-One!
	2:57pm listener james from westwood: UM, the whole track is just nonstop ASMR for me. Amazing. Thanks muchly for today's program!!
	🛒 2:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx UM!
	🛒 3:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'd go w/ 'Bringing It All Back Home' - but 'Blood' & 'Desire' the 2nd major peak deffo...
	3:01pm melinda: wow, 3:00 already. Thanks Uncle M!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: bye all!
	11:39am Stanley: Yup. That was well worth catching up on. Thanks Uncle Michael.
