	9:21pm KidProJoe: How did you like Wrigley Field?
	9:22pm efd: loved it! But how could I not?

	9:24pm KidProJoe: Yes, a lot of fans of Guaranteed Rate Field hate it
	9:24pm Uncle Michael: Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo...
	9:25pm Threemoons: @herb.nyc: Yow, someone dissed Thomas Dolby?

	9:30pm Dion Chalksee: New Wave/Disco border? Build the wall.
	9:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Mr. Funk Davies. Glad your trip and birthday went well. I remembered you were going to be on tonight when I heard Clay Pigeon play "The Bedazzler" this morning.
	9:32pm KidProJoe: Grew up a Cubs fan on the Southside, It was rough
	9:35pm Uncle Michael: Soulfinger!
	9:37pm Dion Chalksee: SS Cubs fans are a dime a dozen nowadays. Where'd you grow up, joe?
	9:39pm KidProJoe: Very few in the 80s. Morgan Park.
	9:39pm Dion Chalksee: efd- Did you get a chance to view the Fabulous Ones wrestling promo video that used Skatt Brothers' Life At The Outpost as the soundtrack?

	9:42pm efd: oh shoot, I forgot about it Dion! Will try to remember this week.

	9:51pm medson: Yes do it.
	9:51pm herb.nyc: That Real Numbers song was excellent! --@Threemoons, TDolby sounds like such a sweetie, at least according to him. He's at MJackson's mansion, circa Thriller, and the 2 have great conversation. Then he meets a buncha local young children at his house. It was 8,9pm. Hmm...
	9:52pm medson: Hola efd. Great show so far. Tuning in this week via FMU App in beautiful Cape May. Definitely bummed on the passing of Petty.

	10:41pm medson: In chatting with a friend this week about Tom Petty, he thought he wasn’t really a Tom Petty fan. And with his death and all the songs being played all week he was like god damn I guess I always liked Tom Petty. So many great songs.
	10:43pm KidProJoe: Great interview!
	10:44pm herb.nyc: Such a good story, re 33 1/3 book leading to meeting Tom Petty. I wanna read the Dusty book now. (Read Joe Pernice's "meat is murder"). Great interview.

	10:53pm Tommy in Neversink: He had like a million hits
	10:56pm Cooh John: Tried to listen to every TP record on cassette doing a long road trip in '82 but my buddy cut it off after the 2nd cassette.
	10:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Tommy - For sure. You could fill a whole show with his songs. Thanks, efd.
	10:57pm Cooh John: I don't know how long I can hold on...
	10:57pm johnk77: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/tom-petty-and-the-heartbreakers/1980/the-palladium-new-york-ny-2bd474d2.html thanx again @efd
	10:58pm Scraps: My first little brother was so much a Tom Petty fan. And saw him two weeks ago in Seattle. Very upset. I respect Petty, since "I Need to Know". Hey, efd, here it comes! Yeah! I figured he's his generation's John Fogerty.
	10:59pm Stevel: I Need to Know really fit the New Wave/Punk vibe. Strident young men with a message and great songs. Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Tom Petty. Rockers, especially out of the gate.
	10:59pm Cooh John: My kids sang this song to me for my 50th birthday.
	11:00pm gregory: Thanks Evan , for a proper tribute to the man. An American original . This one hurts .
	11:01pm Scraps: Straight up rock and roll, hit after hit,just kept coming. Had a knack
	11:02pm Julie M: Hurts because it was so unexpected. Evan, you're making me stay up later than usual, and maybe making me cry a little.
	11:03pm johnk77: straight out of gainesville going by out on 441
	11:03pm jmd: What? Nothing from Hard Promises?
	11:03pm Hanley Ramirez: My Man.
	11:03pm Figgsrock: This is just what I needed EFD. And thank Warren for the "Same Old You" pick.
	11:05pm Cooh John: @Hanley Ramirez: Been saying the same since the 70's. Tom Petty, he's my man.
	11:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Maybe the placement is similar to why grocery stores put the milk in the back corner opposite of the entrance.
	11:08pm Joe B: great point ken!
	11:10pm jmd: It’s a ‘corner’ song. First or last on either side of the slab.
	11:14pm Scraps: Yep, jmd. And leave the listener satisfied.
	11:23pm Figgsrock: Wow EFD, nothing like playing back to back tracks from 2 of my fave LPs of the year. I am getting my Swag for Life money's worth tonight!
	11:24pm Ajax: Great tribute, thanks. That American Girl gets me every time.
	11:28pm PJ: Thank you for the Petty tribute, Evan.
	11:28pm efd: thanks Ajax, Figgs, Cooh, Hanley, Scraps, Julie, and everyone!. Sorry about the lack of Hard Promises cuts jmd, that's kind of a blind spot for me for some reason.
	11:53pm Figgsrock: Hey EFD, this is actually "Tonight"--did you mean to play this one?
	11:55pm efd: hm, nope, apparently our promo cd is mis-labeled. Thanks for the tip!
	11:57pm efd: ... or mis-sequenced, because the label matches the track list I see online.
	11:57pm lcdpee: is it just me or is"tonite" playing at a higher speed than it should be?

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Wed. Nov 6th, Noon - 3pm: The Metal District III: Kicked Out Of The Hellraiser! (More info...)
EFD’s hair-metal-loving cousin Evan “Snake” Davies was dying to return to the airwaves in October after a four-year absence. However, this request was vetoed over concerns that his appearance might have had a deleterious effect on our Hellraiser efforts. He’s back today, though, spinning his favorite ‘80s (mostly) hard rock and hair metal just for you. Don’t (or maybe do) miss it!

	10:59pm Cooh John: My kids sang this song to me for my 50th birthday.
	11:00pm gregory: Thanks Evan , for a proper tribute to the man. An American original . This one hurts .
	11:01pm Scraps: Straight up rock and roll, hit after hit,just kept coming. Had a knack
	11:02pm Julie M: Hurts because it was so unexpected. Evan, you're making me stay up later than usual, and maybe making me cry a little.
	11:03pm johnk77: straight out of gainesville going by out on 441
	11:03pm jmd: What? Nothing from Hard Promises?
	11:03pm Hanley Ramirez: My Man.
	11:03pm Figgsrock: This is just what I needed EFD. And thank Warren for the "Same Old You" pick.
	11:05pm Cooh John: @Hanley Ramirez: Been saying the same since the 70's. Tom Petty, he's my man.
	11:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Maybe the placement is similar to why grocery stores put the milk in the back corner opposite of the entrance.
	11:08pm Joe B: great point ken!
	11:10pm jmd: It’s a ‘corner’ song. First or last on either side of the slab.
	11:14pm Scraps: Yep, jmd. And leave the listener satisfied.
	11:23pm Figgsrock: Wow EFD, nothing like playing back to back tracks from 2 of my fave LPs of the year. I am getting my Swag for Life money's worth tonight!
	11:24pm Ajax: Great tribute, thanks. That American Girl gets me every time.
	11:28pm PJ: Thank you for the Petty tribute, Evan.
	11:28pm efd: thanks Ajax, Figgs, Cooh, Hanley, Scraps, Julie, and everyone!. Sorry about the lack of Hard Promises cuts jmd, that's kind of a blind spot for me for some reason.
	11:53pm Figgsrock: Hey EFD, this is actually "Tonight"--did you mean to play this one?
	11:55pm efd: hm, nope, apparently our promo cd is mis-labeled. Thanks for the tip!
	11:57pm efd: ... or mis-sequenced, because the label matches the track list I see online.
	11:57pm lcdpee: is it just me or is"tonite" playing at a higher speed than it should be?
