	♥ 9:53am rebuketodali: atlantacontemporary.org...
	♥ 9:54am Trouble: attention!! resized lonnie picture is up on page. refresh and enjoy. merci bien henry!!!!
	♥ 9:55am dale: i wonder if anyone who recorded this had to pay the chiffons a royalty?
	9:55am Roberto: This is obviously a ripoff of "He's So Fine."
	9:55am kevlicki: Hey trouble and all! I got to see A Tribe Called Red last week. Indigenous EDM from so called Canada. Performing with three traditional dancers in front of screens playing pop cultural representations of Indians, on a loop. Amazing!
	9:56am meredith: I'm taking the doggie for a walk but not to worry, I've got the wfmu app
	9:58am sphere: dale & Roberto: I believe Harrison was sued by the guy who wrote "He's So Fine" and lost.
	9:58am Mark R: For anyone who hasn't seen "What Happened, Miss Simone?" it's a wonderful doc that came out a couple years ago. If you love Nina, I think you'll love the film, too.
	♥ 9:59am melinda: I also heard that Harrison continued to challenge the ruling.
	10:00am kwhitehead: This Nina track giving me goosebumps.
	♥ 10:00am Andrew Waterloo: @Mark R. I love the opening sequence where she's standing by the piano while the audience applauds.
	♥ 10:01am dale: i know he was sued and lost. i was just wondering how that worked out for everyone who covered harrison's song. did ronald mack the writer of the chiffons song get royalties?
	♥ 10:01am Webhamster Henry: Can't stop the Nina!
	10:01am Mark R: The nutty thing about that is that Phil Spector produced both records. So you'd think that when he was sitting at the George sessions, he might have said, "Y'know, something about this tune rings a bell."
	10:02am sphere: the whole He's So Fine lawsuit is fascinating. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 10:02am Guido from Cologne: Hello Trouble!
	10:02am Roberto: I was facetiously referring to said lawsuit.
	♥ 10:02am rebuketodali: @kwhitehead Ditto. This is so divine.
	♥ 10:03am Cooh John: I like some Trouble in the morning.
	♥ 10:05am dale: harrison had to buy the publishing company from whoever owned it when the suit finally came to trial and that took another ten years to suss out, so it was a twenty year process. i guess some lawyers did well anyway.
	10:05am Mark R: Wow, that's a lot more complicated than I ever knew, Sphere. Thanks. Allen Klein was a real snake, wasn't he?
	♥ 10:05am rebuketodali: I have to go to a meeting in 25 minutes. I would much rather be listening to this killer set.
	♥ 10:06am Webhamster Henry: Get out the Dragnet For Jesus!
	♥ 10:07am Trouble: morning guido! can you please tell me: are we pronouncing your name incorrectly? is it like the italians would? or is it actually gheedoe?
	10:11am bobdoesthings: goood morning
	10:18am upsetter5001: Good Morning Troubleland!
	♥ 10:19am Guido from Cologne: @Trouble The Italians pronounce my name better and I like it! Germans say "Geeedoo', which comes via the Swiss-German transmission. (The name is very common in Switzerland.) pronounce as every average American would do. It is close to the Italian original and it is nice. At least I feel more "international".
	♥ 10:19am Sem Chumbo: Hahaa!
	♥ 10:19am Webhamster Henry: Class: compare and contrast!
	10:19am thatpatsmith: ho ho ho
	10:21am blee: Pretty darn similar.
	10:21am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning, Trouble! Thank you for working so hard to keep this vast cultural channel alive and well! Also, that sculpture is badass- where is it located?!?
	10:23am Roberto: Similar...yet different.
	♥ 10:24am Trouble: thank you! itzall!! not sure if someone owns that sculpture, but it was shown in the NY gallery for lonnie holley, james fuentes gallery
	♥ 10:25am Vivian: @rebuketodali- what time is the collaboration with Lonnie Holley tonight?
	♥ 10:26am Vivian: Disregard, checked out link..
	10:26am Itzall Ablurr: Thank YOU! Mr. Holley is an old acquaintance, used to see him around Atlanta quite a bit. I don't recall that he worked in plasma-cut iron sheeting, but that certainly has all of the hallmarks of his work and I LOVE IT.
	♥ 10:27am Trouble: o good for you itzall; lonnie is a wondeful guy. go to see his solo show at atlanta contemporary, up now!
	10:30am NJ Prof: What is the bird background chirping of the day?
	10:34am blee: You tell it, Trouble!
	♥ 10:36am MD: Our Government has been taken over By Rich White Supremacist Child Abusing Men.
	10:36am bobdoesthings: I bought that Emergency Ward record b/c of Marty playing it too! sooo good.. B side should get some play too! "poppies" is gorgeous.
	10:36am Listener Gregory: As I understand it, the laws of plagiarism don't require intention or even knowledge of the original (though it helps to prove copying). If a new song is too similar to the melody of an old one, the writers can be sued.
	10:37am Listener Scott: IP lawyer here: George Harrison case didn't hinge on similarity of both songs having three words in compared sample; case hinged on similarity of the melodies.
	10:38am Chris from DC: Biz Markie!
	♥ 10:38am Priscilla: HAHA
	♥ 10:38am Guido from Cologne: The mighty Biz!
	♥ 10:39am Asheville Jon: such scary dragon noises!!! HAHAHAHA
	♥ 10:39am Planet Tyler: George <3 <3 <3. Remember when Sinatra would always introduce "Something" as a Lennon & McCartney song when onstage? There's a live bootleg GH album from '74 and George does "Something" in schmaltzy Sinatra-style in return
	♥ 10:40am Asheville Jon: man, the 80's were so messed up.
	10:41am Roberto: This had to have been the inspiration for "yo homes, smell ya later."
	♥ 10:42am Planet Tyler: As for "plagiarism" - well, that's how music works. If y'all haven't read "Deep Blues" by Robert Palmer it's fantastic and also a history of how early blues tunes really "belonged" to no one. Such a good book on music!
	♥ 10:43am Ike: Never heard that Biz track before! That was totally bitchin'.
	♥ 10:44am rsj: eric b never sleeps either
	♥ 10:44am Passaic River Blues: Cold Chillin' Records really was so good. I don't think they ever put out a bad album.
	♥ 10:44am rsj: but neither does chuck norris they say
	10:45am Listener Gregory: @Planet No doubt you're right, but once money gets involved, everyone wants to "own" their music. In traditional blues music, no artist made any money on their recordings, so there were no lawsuits.
	♥ 10:45am Gaylord Fields: [waving Trouble-ward this AM] When I met Biz Markie in the late '90s, as part of my day job, he made fun of my given name. So I responded with "You're one to talk...Marcel!" He chuckled and conceded the point (a victory for all Gaylords everywhere). (My apologies to the WFMU DJ Marcel M.)
	10:46am Adrian in London: @Trouble On Chuck Berry, totally agree that the way he was treated is different to that politician. But by the same token if a politician installed cameras in his restaurant bathroom to film women he'd, hopefully, be drummed out of public life forever, and rightly so. But hey, Chuck Berry, rock 'n' roll... it leaves a rather queasy feeling with me.
	♥ 10:48am Gaylord Fields: @Adrian in London: Recent events make me not so certain that what you say with regard to politicians holds anymore.
	♥ 10:52am Trouble: i am not giving chuck a pass, @ adrian. buti spoke of the time that he was arrested on the mann act. the cameras in the bathroom happened much later...if you are looking for male miscreants the music world is full of them
	♥ 10:52am Passaic River Blues: @GF: That is so, so cool. In my fantasy life, I spend many a Saturday promenading through the Albee Square Mall with my man Biz Markie and Mr. Marley Marl.
	♥ 10:52am Trouble: bonjour gaylord!!
	10:53am Adrian in London: @Gaylord Quite. Maybe they'd be promoted :-(
	♥ 10:54am Priscilla: Nelson George had interesting take on Chuck Berry in this radio interview: www.cbc.ca...
	♥ 10:56am Passaic River Blues: @GF (again): Yeah, it'd be recontextualized as just good ol' "locker-room voyeurism", sort of like the tidal wave of "locker-room treason" justifications we shall be hearing very shortly.
	10:59am Itzall Ablurr: Bombino were (was?) excellent opening for Robert Plant a few years ago. Do they still tour?
	♥ 10:59am Marcel M: 1 point Gaylords, 0 points Marcels. Back when I worked at Tower Records my manager was into the old school VHS trading. I saw the infamous Chuck Berry golden showers video. Am I proud of that? I'm not sure... still have not decided.
	♥ 11:01am Andrew Waterloo: I got see Bombino in a small club. Earlier in the day he had an emergency molar extraction.
	11:01am bobdoesthings: @marcel - hah. hey!
	♥ 11:02am Marcel M: Yo Bob!
	♥ 11:03am Michele: What's up friends! Love this track Trouble!
	♥ 11:05am Gaylord Fields: @Marcel M: Let's strive to create a world where we are united and not divided! We owe it to the next generation of Gaylords and Marcels!
	♥ 11:05am Marcel M: @Gaylord: Here here!
	11:06am bobdoesthings: hey michele! - Also - what Gaylord said!
	♥ 11:07am Greg from ZONE 5: I'm currently in the advertising world, and I wholeheartedly encourage you not to buy ANYTHING I'm selling.
	11:08am annie: i use adblocker... which websites hate.. and use a lapop, no android for me
	11:08am bobdoesthings: Schools in Sweden are learning how to spot fake news/ ads/ and to learn coding. www.thelocal.se...
	♥ 11:08am Cooh John: New game in the 21st century: Adsteroids.
	♥ 11:08am Greg from ZONE 5: Trouble! Those shows are actually next Thur & Fri…
	11:09am Lynn: AD Blocker is essential! Very nice Lonnie Holley -loved seeing him here in VA a couple of weeks ago.
	♥ 11:10am Trouble: omg!!!!! you saved my ass from standing out n the cold greg! wha the what, i need a better calendar, perhaps?
	♥ 11:12am Greg from ZONE 5: Usually when I buy tix for Monty Hall it gets added to my Google calendar automatically. It's creepy, but I never miss anything.
	♥ 11:12am Passaic River Blues: Seeing Mary Lattimore is mighty tempting.
	♥ 11:12am Asheville Jon: looks like the time/space/calendar continuum bit Trouble again today
	♥ 11:13am Planet Tyler: @Listener Greg - "Deep Blues" covers music before there was even a thought of selling it, or recording it. It's a time we are so unfamiliar with, we forget it existed.
	11:14am Kapo Strano: I'm listening, Trouble. I listen to the FM so I am not forced to look at a computer if I don't want to, because I look at computers plenty. I was on a team at DoubleClick in the year 2000 that figured out how to serve ads to mobile devices and we agreed a.) it was a bad idea, b.) others would figure out how to do it anyway eventually and, c.) we few should strive forever to prevent it in whatever little ways we could.
	♥ 11:15am Trouble: greg: i don't trust the digital calendar world. but obviously i need some help, maybe an assistant. or even better a cute dog!!!
	11:21am Adrian in London: Ah, Françoiz! Great choice.
	11:22am ranjit: I've got a cute dog but oddly he's no help at all with scheduling appointments.
	11:24am braveness23: B23 here! Better late than never!
	11:24am bobdoesthings: @ranjit - sounds like you just got a lemon, have you tried returning your dog to the place of purchase/adoption?
	11:25am braveness23: You can test this theory by squeezing the dog. Does juice come out?
	11:26am kevlicki: It's sugaring season, collect boil listen to wfmu Repeat. https://instagram.com/p/BRbcrD9hvPQ/
	11:27am ranjit: Wait, squeeze dog or boil? I'm getting conflicting messages here.
	♥ 11:28am Trouble: but a cute dog makes you feel better when you come home after missing your appointment, or standing outside in the cold when the club wasn't even open.
	11:28am Bronwyn Bishop: i leave for a half hour, i come back and y'all are talking about boiling dogs
	11:28am bobdoesthings: no you only boil if it's sugaring season ... wait I don't know what that means.
	11:33am braveness23: Just so everyone knows, no dogs were actually boiled or squeezed in the making of this show.
	♥ 11:34am Priscilla: Has anyone seen her movie Lumiere?
	♥ 11:35am Passaic River Blues: Moreau musing over Satie is blissful.
	♥ 11:36am fred: @Trouble: Where did you get your affinity for French language and stuff? It baffles me, maybe because I'm so steeped in it
	♥ 11:38am Trouble: @fred je ne sais pas. peut-etre d'une autre vie.
	11:39am Elias: I must know! I see Muhammad Ali, Bowie, Prince, Princess Leia, R2D2, Willy Wonka, FISH, Fidel....who are the rest of that ever so excited cheering section that congratulates all us WFMU pledgers?
	11:41am bobdoesthings: Alan Rickman is one..
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: jeanne moreau films to see: www.bfi.org.uk...
	♥ 11:41am Ike: My cat approves of all this dog-boiling talk.
	♥ 11:42am Greg from ZONE 5: Ya'll can find the answer key at the bottom of Sunday night's playlist: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:44am fred: @Elias: from Roberto who got it from Mary Wing: 1) Alan Vega (from Suicide), Abe Vigoda, Merle Haggard, Alan Rickman (as Severus Snape), Fidel Castro 2) Gene Wilder (as Willy Wonka), Sharon Jones, Leonard Cohen, Phife Dawg (from A Tribe Called Quest) 3) Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher (as Princess Leia), Kenny Baker (as R2D2) 4) David Bowie, Prince
	11:44am Elias: Greg, you just saved Christmas.
	11:45am Elias: Fred, you and Roberto and Mary Wing just saved next years Christmas!
	11:45am ranjit: I did give my little dog a squeeze, but i didn't give him a bite of the boiled sausage I just had for lunch.
	11:49am Kurt: My BS monitor just rang: BLM and Black Panthers are nothing but racists and terrorists. Enough of the pseudo-intellectual crap.
	♥ 11:52am Passaic River Blues: Oh, here's a troll to demonstrate why Elaine Brown's music is as vital today as it was in 1969.
	11:52am bobdoesthings: My angry jerk monitor just rang.
	11:54am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Hello/goodbye from sunny San Diego! Been listening to you on the archives Trouble, just sayin'.
	11:56am Roberto: Yeah I got that from the finale playlist comments.
	♥ 11:59am Trouble: great article in a recent atlantic www.theatlantic.com...
	♥ 12:00pm Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
	♥ 12:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Trouble!

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

	9:44am annie: no!!! you play plenty.. not too much at all..
	9:45am Magda: I also love it when you play Alice Coltrane.
	9:45am annie: there's an interference in the audio?
	9:46am Magda: For post Marathon/Start of Spring Announcement on the Air Waves.
	9:46am annie: pop-up says you're still speaking
	9:46am Magda: Everyone wants a Log...Your Gonna love a Log.
	9:46am Wild Neil: PEACE all. @FMU'rs :You could rt click>view image in new tab to see this entire thing.
	♥ 9:49am Asheville Jon: love the vinyl "pop" !!
	9:49am sphere: the Simone songs remind me of the "klassik rokk" station that i skipped through this morning. man, those stations are audio Wonder Bread, they are so white.
	♥ 9:50am Trouble: o fabulous rebuke to dali! i was looking for the link to that event to put it up on my facebook page, and i couldn't find it. enjoy!!!!
	♥ 9:50am Ken From Hyde Park: Firefox uses with the handy ImageZoom plug-in can right-click the image and reduce the size.
	♥ 9:52am Sem Chumbo: A stone-cold marvel, Nina.
	♥ 9:53am rebuketodali: atlantacontemporary.org...
	♥ 9:54am Trouble: attention!! resized lonnie picture is up on page. refresh and enjoy. merci bien henry!!!!
	♥ 9:55am dale: i wonder if anyone who recorded this had to pay the chiffons a royalty?
	9:55am Roberto: This is obviously a ripoff of "He's So Fine."
	9:55am kevlicki: Hey trouble and all! I got to see A Tribe Called Red last week. Indigenous EDM from so called Canada. Performing with three traditional dancers in front of screens playing pop cultural representations of Indians, on a loop. Amazing!
	9:56am meredith: I'm taking the doggie for a walk but not to worry, I've got the wfmu app
	9:58am sphere: dale & Roberto: I believe Harrison was sued by the guy who wrote "He's So Fine" and lost.
	9:58am Mark R: For anyone who hasn't seen "What Happened, Miss Simone?" it's a wonderful doc that came out a couple years ago. If you love Nina, I think you'll love the film, too.
	♥ 9:59am melinda: I also heard that Harrison continued to challenge the ruling.
	10:00am kwhitehead: This Nina track giving me goosebumps.
	♥ 10:00am Andrew Waterloo: @Mark R. I love the opening sequence where she's standing by the piano while the audience applauds.
	♥ 10:01am dale: i know he was sued and lost. i was just wondering how that worked out for everyone who covered harrison's song. did ronald mack the writer of the chiffons song get royalties?
	♥ 10:01am Webhamster Henry: Can't stop the Nina!
	10:01am Mark R: The nutty thing about that is that Phil Spector produced both records. So you'd think that when he was sitting at the George sessions, he might have said, "Y'know, something about this tune rings a bell."
	10:02am sphere: the whole He's So Fine lawsuit is fascinating. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 10:02am Guido from Cologne: Hello Trouble!
	10:02am Roberto: I was facetiously referring to said lawsuit.
	♥ 10:02am rebuketodali: @kwhitehead Ditto. This is so divine.
	♥ 10:03am Cooh John: I like some Trouble in the morning.
	♥ 10:05am dale: harrison had to buy the publishing company from whoever owned it when the suit finally came to trial and that took another ten years to suss out, so it was a twenty year process. i guess some lawyers did well anyway.
	10:05am Mark R: Wow, that's a lot more complicated than I ever knew, Sphere. Thanks. Allen Klein was a real snake, wasn't he?
	♥ 10:05am rebuketodali: I have to go to a meeting in 25 minutes. I would much rather be listening to this killer set.
	♥ 10:06am Webhamster Henry: Get out the Dragnet For Jesus!
	♥ 10:07am Trouble: morning guido! can you please tell me: are we pronouncing your name incorrectly? is it like the italians would? or is it actually gheedoe?
	10:11am bobdoesthings: goood morning
	10:18am upsetter5001: Good Morning Troubleland!
	♥ 10:19am Guido from Cologne: @Trouble The Italians pronounce my name better and I like it! Germans say "Geeedoo', which comes via the Swiss-German transmission. (The name is very common in Switzerland.) pronounce as every average American would do. It is close to the Italian original and it is nice. At least I feel more "international".
	♥ 10:19am Sem Chumbo: Hahaa!
	♥ 10:19am Webhamster Henry: Class: compare and contrast!
	10:19am thatpatsmith: ho ho ho
	10:21am blee: Pretty darn similar.
	10:21am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning, Trouble! Thank you for working so hard to keep this vast cultural channel alive and well! Also, that sculpture is badass- where is it located?!?
	10:23am Roberto: Similar...yet different.
	♥ 10:24am Trouble: thank you! itzall!! not sure if someone owns that sculpture, but it was shown in the NY gallery for lonnie holley, james fuentes gallery
	♥ 10:25am Vivian: @rebuketodali- what time is the collaboration with Lonnie Holley tonight?
	♥ 10:26am Vivian: Disregard, checked out link..
	10:26am Itzall Ablurr: Thank YOU! Mr. Holley is an old acquaintance, used to see him around Atlanta quite a bit. I don't recall that he worked in plasma-cut iron sheeting, but that certainly has all of the hallmarks of his work and I LOVE IT.
	♥ 10:27am Trouble: o good for you itzall; lonnie is a wondeful guy. go to see his solo show at atlanta contemporary, up now!
	10:30am NJ Prof: What is the bird background chirping of the day?
	10:34am blee: You tell it, Trouble!
	♥ 10:36am MD: Our Government has been taken over By Rich White Supremacist Child Abusing Men.
	10:36am bobdoesthings: I bought that Emergency Ward record b/c of Marty playing it too! sooo good.. B side should get some play too! "poppies" is gorgeous.
	10:36am Listener Gregory: As I understand it, the laws of plagiarism don't require intention or even knowledge of the original (though it helps to prove copying). If a new song is too similar to the melody of an old one, the writers can be sued.
	10:37am Listener Scott: IP lawyer here: George Harrison case didn't hinge on similarity of both songs having three words in compared sample; case hinged on similarity of the melodies.
	10:38am Chris from DC: Biz Markie!
	♥ 10:38am Priscilla: HAHA
	♥ 10:38am Guido from Cologne: The mighty Biz!
	♥ 10:39am Asheville Jon: such scary dragon noises!!! HAHAHAHA
	♥ 10:39am Planet Tyler: George <3 <3 <3. Remember when Sinatra would always introduce "Something" as a Lennon & McCartney song when onstage? There's a live bootleg GH album from '74 and George does "Something" in schmaltzy Sinatra-style in return
	♥ 10:40am Asheville Jon: man, the 80's were so messed up.
	10:41am Roberto: This had to have been the inspiration for "yo homes, smell ya later."
	♥ 10:42am Planet Tyler: As for "plagiarism" - well, that's how music works. If y'all haven't read "Deep Blues" by Robert Palmer it's fantastic and also a history of how early blues tunes really "belonged" to no one. Such a good book on music!
	♥ 10:43am Ike: Never heard that Biz track before! That was totally bitchin'.
	♥ 10:44am rsj: eric b never sleeps either
	♥ 10:44am Passaic River Blues: Cold Chillin' Records really was so good. I don't think they ever put out a bad album.
	♥ 10:44am rsj: but neither does chuck norris they say
	10:45am Listener Gregory: @Planet No doubt you're right, but once money gets involved, everyone wants to "own" their music. In traditional blues music, no artist made any money on their recordings, so there were no lawsuits.
	♥ 10:45am Gaylord Fields: [waving Trouble-ward this AM] When I met Biz Markie in the late '90s, as part of my day job, he made fun of my given name. So I responded with "You're one to talk...Marcel!" He chuckled and conceded the point (a victory for all Gaylords everywhere). (My apologies to the WFMU DJ Marcel M.)
	10:46am Adrian in London: @Trouble On Chuck Berry, totally agree that the way he was treated is different to that politician. But by the same token if a politician installed cameras in his restaurant bathroom to film women he'd, hopefully, be drummed out of public life forever, and rightly so. But hey, Chuck Berry, rock 'n' roll... it leaves a rather queasy feeling with me.
	♥ 10:48am Gaylord Fields: @Adrian in London: Recent events make me not so certain that what you say with regard to politicians holds anymore.
	♥ 10:52am Trouble: i am not giving chuck a pass, @ adrian. buti spoke of the time that he was arrested on the mann act. the cameras in the bathroom happened much later...if you are looking for male miscreants the music world is full of them
	♥ 10:52am Passaic River Blues: @GF: That is so, so cool. In my fantasy life, I spend many a Saturday promenading through the Albee Square Mall with my man Biz Markie and Mr. Marley Marl.
	♥ 10:52am Trouble: bonjour gaylord!!
	10:53am Adrian in London: @Gaylord Quite. Maybe they'd be promoted :-(
	♥ 10:54am Priscilla: Nelson George had interesting take on Chuck Berry in this radio interview: www.cbc.ca...
	♥ 10:56am Passaic River Blues: @GF (again): Yeah, it'd be recontextualized as just good ol' "locker-room voyeurism", sort of like the tidal wave of "locker-room treason" justifications we shall be hearing very shortly.
	10:59am Itzall Ablurr: Bombino were (was?) excellent opening for Robert Plant a few years ago. Do they still tour?
	♥ 10:59am Marcel M: 1 point Gaylords, 0 points Marcels. Back when I worked at Tower Records my manager was into the old school VHS trading. I saw the infamous Chuck Berry golden showers video. Am I proud of that? I'm not sure... still have not decided.
	♥ 11:01am Andrew Waterloo: I got see Bombino in a small club. Earlier in the day he had an emergency molar extraction.
	11:01am bobdoesthings: @marcel - hah. hey!
	♥ 11:02am Marcel M: Yo Bob!
	♥ 11:03am Michele: What's up friends! Love this track Trouble!
	♥ 11:05am Gaylord Fields: @Marcel M: Let's strive to create a world where we are united and not divided! We owe it to the next generation of Gaylords and Marcels!
	♥ 11:05am Marcel M: @Gaylord: Here here!
	11:06am bobdoesthings: hey michele! - Also - what Gaylord said!
	♥ 11:07am Greg from ZONE 5: I'm currently in the advertising world, and I wholeheartedly encourage you not to buy ANYTHING I'm selling.
	11:08am annie: i use adblocker... which websites hate.. and use a lapop, no android for me
	11:08am bobdoesthings: Schools in Sweden are learning how to spot fake news/ ads/ and to learn coding. www.thelocal.se...
	♥ 11:08am Cooh John: New game in the 21st century: Adsteroids.
	♥ 11:08am Greg from ZONE 5: Trouble! Those shows are actually next Thur & Fri…
	11:09am Lynn: AD Blocker is essential! Very nice Lonnie Holley -loved seeing him here in VA a couple of weeks ago.
	♥ 11:10am Trouble: omg!!!!! you saved my ass from standing out n the cold greg! wha the what, i need a better calendar, perhaps?
	♥ 11:12am Greg from ZONE 5: Usually when I buy tix for Monty Hall it gets added to my Google calendar automatically. It's creepy, but I never miss anything.
	♥ 11:12am Passaic River Blues: Seeing Mary Lattimore is mighty tempting.
	♥ 11:12am Asheville Jon: looks like the time/space/calendar continuum bit Trouble again today
	♥ 11:13am Planet Tyler: @Listener Greg - "Deep Blues" covers music before there was even a thought of selling it, or recording it. It's a time we are so unfamiliar with, we forget it existed.
	11:14am Kapo Strano: I'm listening, Trouble. I listen to the FM so I am not forced to look at a computer if I don't want to, because I look at computers plenty. I was on a team at DoubleClick in the year 2000 that figured out how to serve ads to mobile devices and we agreed a.) it was a bad idea, b.) others would figure out how to do it anyway eventually and, c.) we few should strive forever to prevent it in whatever little ways we could.
	♥ 11:15am Trouble: greg: i don't trust the digital calendar world. but obviously i need some help, maybe an assistant. or even better a cute dog!!!
	11:21am Adrian in London: Ah, Françoiz! Great choice.
	11:22am ranjit: I've got a cute dog but oddly he's no help at all with scheduling appointments.
	11:24am braveness23: B23 here! Better late than never!
	11:24am bobdoesthings: @ranjit - sounds like you just got a lemon, have you tried returning your dog to the place of purchase/adoption?
	11:25am braveness23: You can test this theory by squeezing the dog. Does juice come out?
	11:26am kevlicki: It's sugaring season, collect boil listen to wfmu Repeat. https://instagram.com/p/BRbcrD9hvPQ/
	11:27am ranjit: Wait, squeeze dog or boil? I'm getting conflicting messages here.
	♥ 11:28am Trouble: but a cute dog makes you feel better when you come home after missing your appointment, or standing outside in the cold when the club wasn't even open.
	11:28am Bronwyn Bishop: i leave for a half hour, i come back and y'all are talking about boiling dogs
	11:28am bobdoesthings: no you only boil if it's sugaring season ... wait I don't know what that means.
	11:33am braveness23: Just so everyone knows, no dogs were actually boiled or squeezed in the making of this show.
	♥ 11:34am Priscilla: Has anyone seen her movie Lumiere?
	♥ 11:35am Passaic River Blues: Moreau musing over Satie is blissful.
	♥ 11:36am fred: @Trouble: Where did you get your affinity for French language and stuff? It baffles me, maybe because I'm so steeped in it
	♥ 11:38am Trouble: @fred je ne sais pas. peut-etre d'une autre vie.
	11:39am Elias: I must know! I see Muhammad Ali, Bowie, Prince, Princess Leia, R2D2, Willy Wonka, FISH, Fidel....who are the rest of that ever so excited cheering section that congratulates all us WFMU pledgers?
	11:41am bobdoesthings: Alan Rickman is one..
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: jeanne moreau films to see: www.bfi.org.uk...
	♥ 11:41am Ike: My cat approves of all this dog-boiling talk.
	♥ 11:42am Greg from ZONE 5: Ya'll can find the answer key at the bottom of Sunday night's playlist: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:44am fred: @Elias: from Roberto who got it from Mary Wing: 1) Alan Vega (from Suicide), Abe Vigoda, Merle Haggard, Alan Rickman (as Severus Snape), Fidel Castro 2) Gene Wilder (as Willy Wonka), Sharon Jones, Leonard Cohen, Phife Dawg (from A Tribe Called Quest) 3) Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher (as Princess Leia), Kenny Baker (as R2D2) 4) David Bowie, Prince
	11:44am Elias: Greg, you just saved Christmas.
	11:45am Elias: Fred, you and Roberto and Mary Wing just saved next years Christmas!
	11:45am ranjit: I did give my little dog a squeeze, but i didn't give him a bite of the boiled sausage I just had for lunch.
	11:49am Kurt: My BS monitor just rang: BLM and Black Panthers are nothing but racists and terrorists. Enough of the pseudo-intellectual crap.
	♥ 11:52am Passaic River Blues: Oh, here's a troll to demonstrate why Elaine Brown's music is as vital today as it was in 1969.
	11:52am bobdoesthings: My angry jerk monitor just rang.
	11:54am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Hello/goodbye from sunny San Diego! Been listening to you on the archives Trouble, just sayin'.
	11:56am Roberto: Yeah I got that from the finale playlist comments.
