	12:04pm Mark Hurst: Now where have I heard this tune before...
	12:04pm Jeff Golick: "But we've got city fathers..." -- quite a rallying cry.
	12:05pm joe: You know I'm starting to think she's not genuine in what her hometown is.

	12:06pm dan: Ziggy Stardust
	12:06pm V Priceless: abowie!

	12:11pm Uncle Michael: That won't helpyou when you're texting the hotline.
	12:12pm Rich in NC: Hey Uncle Michael, happy anniversary!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Thanks!
	12:14pm V Priceless: hiya fish! long time no sea : )
	12:15pm Parq: "What Is Life" really is "The Best Of" his stuff.
	12:18pm coelacanth∅: i don't agree with that! but i can say that when i was little and one of my older siblings brought home this 45 -and the flip was up there with the a side, i knew i'd get the album soon, somehow.
	12:19pm coelacanth∅: ...one of the first albums i ever bought. $5.00 from the rca record club.
	12:21pm Parq: Coal, the RCA was responsible for most of the records I acquired in my high school years.
	12:23pm coelacanth∅: nice Parq! they were great! when i joined up even at the age of ...8? i knew the scams; but rca gave me 3 albums for $5. with no further obligations. by the time i was 12 i had as many albums as my older brother, just from leaf-raking money.
	12:24pm Rich in NC: B side,,,, wow
	12:24pm Jeff Moore: In 2022, your dynamics are so well controlled!
	12:24pm Rich in NC: Lef Zeppelin, nice!
	12:25pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Good afternoon from Detroit hinky dink donker donkers!
	12:25pm dan: Hey UM. You should have done an all No. 5 show. All the songs have "five" in the title.
	12:25pm coelacanth∅: (or all the songs that reached #5)
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: dan, you have a great idea there for your fifth anniversary show. Johnzon! Thank you Jeff. It's only going to take me five more years to sound this good!
	12:31pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: The one and only... as far as I know... because I've intentionally avoided googling it...
	12:33pm coelacanth∅: i just remembered that my brother's my sweet lord 45 was backed with "isn't it a pity", not "what is life". my brother got the what is life single (a-side, b/w "bangla desh") later on, after i got the album.
	12:33pm Parq: Speaking of not bothering to google, what was the name of the singer on this JA album? Singe something?
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Signe Ansderson
	12:35pm Roberto: This sounds like Mott the Dylan.
	12:36pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: I love that album(all things must pass) apparently what Phil Spookter was blown away with how many songs GH had stashed away because P&J didn't want them
	12:36pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: My favorite track is Wawa... Wah Wah?
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Ian Hunter was always sounding like Bob...but this is Mott the Bono.
	12:38pm coelacanth∅: i think the title track must be my favorite on all things must pass. i also really like "apple scruffs" and about 12 others...
	12:38pm doctorjazz: Actually reminds me more of Jakob Dylan...
	12:38pm David D: Happy, happy anniversary, UM!
	12:38pm Rich in Washington: I was sort of surprised upon learning that Sonny only had one solo outing, as Sonny. I've had that LP for eons and just assumed he did more solo work.
	12:38pm doctorjazz: Of course, Jakob didn't INFLUENCE Hunter...
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: David! Thank you.
	12:45pm dan: Bring back blue eyed soul. Unfortunately, the left wing SJWs would call them out for cultural appropriation.
	12:46pm johnk77: great show i have a gun hill tavern coaster;>
	12:48pm Rich in Washington: I have neither pickup truck, or chainsaw, so in some ways, I am not a true Pacific Northwesterner.
	12:48pm burke: I like the way you pronounce the second O in tomato! Actually you handle the first O pretty well too.
	12:49pm dan: Odessa: The Bee Gees most forgotten yet most creative masterpiece.
	12:50pm The Oscar: Afternoon folks!
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Oscar! Thank you burke!
	12:53pm johnk77: no truck sold my only chainsaw 30+years ago thinking about campers is this song about ukraine?
	12:53pm The Oscar: I forget who it was last week who mentioned that "Rubberband Man" was in the new Avengers movie, but I was shocked to realize they weren't joking! I thought it was just a play on how many superheroes were in the movie haha
	12:53pm northguineahills: Love this Bee Gees, didn't discover it until two years ago.
	12:53pm doctorjazz: Early Bee Gees, nice!
	12:55pm V Priceless: whoa Heavy Disguise! Nice!
	12:56pm dan: You read my mind. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song by The Strawbs.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: I was really disappointed that with the trope of popular music at the beginning and end of the MCU films, they used AC/DC...but not "Thunderstruck" for Thor.
	1:02pm Mark R: Nice of you to remember Paul Butterfield today, and especially this track. "Screamin'" has to be one of my favorite instrumentals ever--two giants, Bloomfield and Butterfield, just blowing away!
	1:04pm Mark R: Boy, looking back on the playlist, you've played a lot of my favorites already!
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Mark. Those two PBBB albums are monsters...and I don't even consider myself a blues guy. They were so far ahead of the "british blues revival."
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: John, sorry...I DID see you slip in!
	1:06pm johnk77: bloomfield was a handful off-stage later @UM rocks
	1:07pm Rich in Washington: That's why I catch this show religiously. UM always plays my favorites, some of them future favorites.
	1:09pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Really digging these instrumental tracks
	1:09pm Parq: UM, I've noticed that too. I haven't seen a ton of the MCU movies but on each of the ones I've seen, they seem to have brought on a Univ of Fla undegrad as the music editor.
	1:09pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Wish I could play guitar like this lol
	1:11pm Mark R: Well, actually I consider the first Butterfield album and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton like two sides of the same coin. Two of the best guitar players in the world. On Cream's first American tour, they shared the bill with the Electric Flag at the Fillmore, and they jammed together. I'm surprised a recording of that night has never surfaced, because Bill Graham recorded every show off the soundboard, so I don't know why he wouldn't have recorded that one, but if there's a recording out there, I've never heard it.
	1:12pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Hippy Hinkiveraary Donky Donk!
	1:13pm johnk77: elvin bishop was still great live when i last saw him about 10 years ago
	1:15pm V Priceless: yay Daevid Allen!
	1:15pm The Oscar: "Barry Gibb: Better than the New York Dolls, better than the Ramones, better than the BEATLES!" --lovably unhinged regular at the record store I worked at
	1:16pm Stevel: Great interview with Charlie Musslewhite on WTF podcast. He and Ben Harper. Listen for the times Charlie tells a story or drops a name, and Harper goes "Woah!" Deep roots in the transition from country to electric blues.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Steve!
	1:18pm Mark R: Charlie's another fucking GIANT of blues harp, he's been around forever and it's so cool that he's still playing.
	1:18pm Jeff Golick: I'll have what he's having.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! I had what he's having. I'm too old to have it some more.
	1:19pm Stevel: Is Kim Fowley in the building?
	1:20pm Dean: Do I hear Miquette Giraudy? If so, do I hear Steve Hillage?
	1:20pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Is America Dead?
	1:20pm johnk77: musselwhite was on the bill he sadly was a no-show the night i last saw bishop and many others keep it bluesy selecter:> possibly having a cidre here
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	1:22pm Dean: If 3. I guess that means this was If's first album, Fibonacci-wise?
	1:23pm Dean: Happy angryversary, five-year-old.
	1:23pm Jeff Golick: i0.kym-cdn.com...
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: That'd be a great guess. It would be wrong. But it would be great!
	1:25pm Dean: Better to be great than correct.
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: (i guess that''s what trump's going for.)
	1:28pm Dean: For sure. Make America Correct Again is pretty flat.
	1:29pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: O no you dii innnt
	1:32pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Make America Sane again. I want to laugh at clowns like our last ten presidents but damn... are we just making jokes because it's the only way to stay sane and forget briefly that we are completely powerless and disenfranchised?
	1:32pm Dean: Yes.
	1:33pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Ok fine lol joke away.
	1:36pm Dean: Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!
	1:37pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Nukular combat toe to toe with the ruskies!
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: i intend to laugh my way out of this mess.
	1:38pm Dean: These days it's digital combat.
	1:39pm Dean: Bread co-opted them.
	1:40pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: If you don't give me that come you'll get such a prancing that you'll be lucky to end up wearing the uniform of a bloody toilet attendant!
	1:40pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: *code. Lol. Whoops.
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: crabapple @1.32 Jimmy Carter was within the last 10 presidents, so i beg to differ. (though i didn't feel this way at the time)
	1:40pm Phil Schaap: Dexter had half a bagel. The rest of the band shared a basket of croissants.
	1:40pm burke: I knew this Kiwi who used to say "dick chairs" when he meant "deck chairs"
	1:41pm coelacanth∅: i love this!
	1:42pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Jimmy Carter deregulated the airline industry and a bunch of other stuff and tried to suck Russia into their own Vietnam in Afghanistan.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Make America Great Again = MASA MASA = Make America Tamales Again
	1:44pm Dean: Teach America How To Abbreviate = TAHTA
	1:48pm dan: Am I right in thinking The Beatles' Bad Boy will be on this playlist?
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Probably.
	1:50pm Phil Schaap: Teach America the Difference Between an Acronym and an Initialism = NAFTA.
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: i do vaguely remember Carter deregulating the airline industry. he didn't deregulate much, in general. Reagan did that...what got us into the heap of shit we're in now. and Carter's involvement with the soviet union (not russia) was to increase the trade embargo on them, which i'd stand behind now, as i did then.
	🛒 1:51pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Happy anniversary!
	1:52pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: TATDBAAA teach America the difference between acronyms and abbreviations lol
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: Jeff - (er, Phil) not guilty!
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie! Thanks!
	1:53pm Rich in Washington: now I'm thinking of the old Merry Melodies cartoon where this character keeps saying 'I'm a baaad boy!". I can't remember which one, though.
	1:54pm Phil Schaap: Sounds a little like Greg Cartwright?
	1:55pm Dean: Bugs used to say that, didn't he?
	1:56pm dan: @ Rich That could be one of many cartoons to say that.
	1:57pm listener Rey: @Rich in Washington you're thinking of the feline caricatures called Babbit and Catstello in a Tweety Bird cartoon, the episode name escapes me
	1:57pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: According to Wikipedia deregulation of transportation industry started under Nixon and "President Jimmy Carter devoted substantial effort to transportation deregulation, and worked with Congressional and civil society leaders to pass the Airline Deregulation Act (October 24, 1978), Staggers Rail Act (signed October 14, 1980), and the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 (signed July 1, 1980)."
	1:59pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Re Afghanistan: https://www.counterpunch.org/1998/01/15/how-jimmy-carter-and-i-started-the-mujahideen/
	1:59pm Dean: I'll just recommend Horwitz's The Irony of Regulatory Reform, which describes the history of the deregulation of the telecommunications industry, the irony being that it was the industry that sought the regulation in the first place to protect monopolies.
	2:00pm burke: Thanks UM! I gotta split I'm catching the big game in Saint Looie tonight.
	🛒 2:00pm Brian in UK: Happy anniversary, Uncle.
	2:02pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: America has always been great in terms of being a cultural powerhouse but in most areas we never have been. I am in agreement with Gerald Horne when he calls the Revolution of 1776 a counter Revolution, an effort to protect land owners "right" to own slaves against the growing threat of the abolition movement in England. America was founded on hypocrisy and has never managed to transcend that fully. We are not and haven't been number one in much of anything good for a while... then again all our trouble and strife has led to some great music and art so... that's nice.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Brian! Go, Cubs, burke!
	2:07pm dan: Go Yankees
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Never heard of 'em.
	2:10pm still b/p: “5th Traditional Anniversary Gift: WOOD. Modern Gift: SILVERWARE.”
	2:11pm SeanG: sounding good UM!
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: I've got wood. Sean! Thanks.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: HI!
	2:23pm coelacanth∅: crabapple as i said i do vaguely remember the airline deregulation. i don't know the details and didn't back then...and i have to catch a bus soon so i don't have much time to (turn on my other computer, then) click that link. i'd like to converse with you and i'm thinking we agree on the vast majority of political matters. you do know, though, that a president often works very hard to accomplish something that he doesn't necessarily agree with, because of pressure or threats. also, we've all had moments we're not proud of, and if i think this was the only decent human being in the presidency in my lifetime, i'm saying this in relation to other presidents.
	2:26pm coelacanth∅: ...and people in charge rewrite history, so... (for instants if you look at ronnie reagan in wikipedia there's almost nothing negative - as if he was universally loved while he was in office, and didn't set this country up for all-out corporate takeover. ...but then it wasn't really him, it was the bush empire pulling reagan's strings)
	🛒 2:26pm KevinfromBayRidge: Mazel Tov on the Fifth! Very happy that I've been along for the entire ride. Thanks for lotsa great shit! Not feelin' guilty at all.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the kind words and all the support, Kevin.
	2:42pm dan: Strange cover
	2:44pm Parq: I've had the They Might Be Giants cover of Tubthumping in my mind for a couple of days now, but this is much stranger. I dig it.
	2:45pm Parq: Is there a "Like A Version" album? I think I'd like that a lot.
	2:46pm barrett785: Way to go on the anniversary! Walked in to my boss playing some of your archives this morning in the office. Hinky Dinky all/every weekends long here at the Merc!
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Yes there is, Parq. It's a various artists cover comp. The songs may have all been recorded for it.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Hey Pat, is that you? Thank you. I'll be in tomorrow.
	2:47pm doctorjazz: My live Dead Fix, thanks UM!
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: YW, Doc.
	2:48pm barrett785: That's me and I'll be here. Working up a little cult amongst us cashiers. Thanks for all the tunes!
	2:48pm The Oscar: Anyone ever hear that old "When Pigs Fly" comp? Similar premise-- it had such recordings as Lesley Gore doing "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," and Ani DiFranco and Jackie Chan duetting on "Unforgettable."
	2:51pm Parq: Turns out the Like a Version comp tracks are all taken from an Australian radio show by the same name: en.wikipedia.org...
	2:54pm coelacanth∅: didn't Lennon & McCartney penn this for 3 dog night?
	2:55pm SeanG: Georgie Pie!
	2:55pm Mark R: I think "Long Long Long" is one of George's best (and most overlooked) songs.
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: YW,Pat. Thank you for making sure present day grocers are down with the Hinky and the Dinky!
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: oh my gods i have to leave during THIS SONG?! impossible! but i have to. Thanks Uncle M take care everyone.
	2:56pm The Oscar: @coelacanth0 At first I read that as they wrote it for their dog, and I really wanted that to be true.
	2:56pm dan: The Beatle song du jour. Very nice
	🛒 2:57pm KevinfromBayRidge: Talk about ending on a strong note!
	2:57pm Mark R: And what about this weird ending, man?
	2:59pm Stevel: God bless the Femmes, and Crissie Hynde for putting them on as an opener!
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, UM! Happy anniversary!
	3:00pm Jeff Golick: Thanks!
	3:00pm Matt in Nebraska: Congrats on the 5 year anniversary!
	3:00pm dan: Great anniversary show
	🛒 3:01pm KevinfromBayRidge: Happy Tomato shopping!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, friends!
	3:02pm Parq: Bye, champ.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 4, 2018

View Uncle Michael's profile

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.

	12:04pm Mark Hurst: Now where have I heard this tune before...
	12:04pm Jeff Golick: "But we've got city fathers..." -- quite a rallying cry.
	12:05pm joe: You know I'm starting to think she's not genuine in what her hometown is.

	12:06pm dan: Ziggy Stardust
	12:06pm V Priceless: abowie!

	12:07pm rw: Happy Birthday! 5 years down, 5 years to go?

	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Parq! dan! Roberto! Mark! burke! doc! Doug! Jeff! VP! Joe! Alex! rw! Coel!
	12:11pm Stevel: If I had to choose between Five years and Rock and Roll Suicide, I'd have trouble. My phone won't auto fill "Suicide. "
	12:11pm dan: Five Long Years which was done very well by Slowhand himself Eric Clapton
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: That won't helpyou when you're texting the hotline.
	12:12pm Rich in NC: Hey Uncle Michael, happy anniversary!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Thanks!
	12:14pm V Priceless: hiya fish! long time no sea : )
	12:15pm Parq: "What Is Life" really is "The Best Of" his stuff.
	12:18pm coelacanth∅: i don't agree with that! but i can say that when i was little and one of my older siblings brought home this 45 -and the flip was up there with the a side, i knew i'd get the album soon, somehow.
	12:19pm coelacanth∅: ...one of the first albums i ever bought. $5.00 from the rca record club.
	12:21pm Parq: Coal, the RCA was responsible for most of the records I acquired in my high school years.
	12:23pm coelacanth∅: nice Parq! they were great! when i joined up even at the age of ...8? i knew the scams; but rca gave me 3 albums for $5. with no further obligations. by the time i was 12 i had as many albums as my older brother, just from leaf-raking money.
	12:24pm Rich in NC: B side,,,, wow
	12:24pm Jeff Moore: In 2022, your dynamics are so well controlled!
	12:24pm Rich in NC: Lef Zeppelin, nice!
	12:25pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Good afternoon from Detroit hinky dink donker donkers!
	12:25pm dan: Hey UM. You should have done an all No. 5 show. All the songs have "five" in the title.
	12:25pm coelacanth∅: (or all the songs that reached #5)
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: dan, you have a great idea there for your fifth anniversary show. Johnzon! Thank you Jeff. It's only going to take me five more years to sound this good!
	12:31pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: The one and only... as far as I know... because I've intentionally avoided googling it...
	12:33pm coelacanth∅: i just remembered that my brother's my sweet lord 45 was backed with "isn't it a pity", not "what is life". my brother got the what is life single (a-side, b/w "bangla desh") later on, after i got the album.
	12:33pm Parq: Speaking of not bothering to google, what was the name of the singer on this JA album? Singe something?
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Signe Ansderson
	12:35pm Roberto: This sounds like Mott the Dylan.
	12:36pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: I love that album(all things must pass) apparently what Phil Spookter was blown away with how many songs GH had stashed away because P&J didn't want them
	12:36pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: My favorite track is Wawa... Wah Wah?
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Ian Hunter was always sounding like Bob...but this is Mott the Bono.
	12:38pm coelacanth∅: i think the title track must be my favorite on all things must pass. i also really like "apple scruffs" and about 12 others...
	12:38pm doctorjazz: Actually reminds me more of Jakob Dylan...
	12:38pm David D: Happy, happy anniversary, UM!
	12:38pm Rich in Washington: I was sort of surprised upon learning that Sonny only had one solo outing, as Sonny. I've had that LP for eons and just assumed he did more solo work.
	12:38pm doctorjazz: Of course, Jakob didn't INFLUENCE Hunter...
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: David! Thank you.
	12:45pm dan: Bring back blue eyed soul. Unfortunately, the left wing SJWs would call them out for cultural appropriation.
	12:46pm johnk77: great show i have a gun hill tavern coaster;>
	12:48pm Rich in Washington: I have neither pickup truck, or chainsaw, so in some ways, I am not a true Pacific Northwesterner.
	12:48pm burke: I like the way you pronounce the second O in tomato! Actually you handle the first O pretty well too.
	12:49pm dan: Odessa: The Bee Gees most forgotten yet most creative masterpiece.
	12:50pm The Oscar: Afternoon folks!
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Oscar! Thank you burke!
	12:53pm johnk77: no truck sold my only chainsaw 30+years ago thinking about campers is this song about ukraine?
	12:53pm The Oscar: I forget who it was last week who mentioned that "Rubberband Man" was in the new Avengers movie, but I was shocked to realize they weren't joking! I thought it was just a play on how many superheroes were in the movie haha
	12:53pm northguineahills: Love this Bee Gees, didn't discover it until two years ago.
	12:53pm doctorjazz: Early Bee Gees, nice!
	12:55pm V Priceless: whoa Heavy Disguise! Nice!
	12:56pm dan: You read my mind. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song by The Strawbs.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: I was really disappointed that with the trope of popular music at the beginning and end of the MCU films, they used AC/DC...but not "Thunderstruck" for Thor.
	1:02pm Mark R: Nice of you to remember Paul Butterfield today, and especially this track. "Screamin'" has to be one of my favorite instrumentals ever--two giants, Bloomfield and Butterfield, just blowing away!
	1:04pm Mark R: Boy, looking back on the playlist, you've played a lot of my favorites already!
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Mark. Those two PBBB albums are monsters...and I don't even consider myself a blues guy. They were so far ahead of the "british blues revival."
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: John, sorry...I DID see you slip in!
	1:06pm johnk77: bloomfield was a handful off-stage later @UM rocks
	1:07pm Rich in Washington: That's why I catch this show religiously. UM always plays my favorites, some of them future favorites.
	1:09pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Really digging these instrumental tracks
	1:09pm Parq: UM, I've noticed that too. I haven't seen a ton of the MCU movies but on each of the ones I've seen, they seem to have brought on a Univ of Fla undegrad as the music editor.
	1:09pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Wish I could play guitar like this lol
	1:11pm Mark R: Well, actually I consider the first Butterfield album and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton like two sides of the same coin. Two of the best guitar players in the world. On Cream's first American tour, they shared the bill with the Electric Flag at the Fillmore, and they jammed together. I'm surprised a recording of that night has never surfaced, because Bill Graham recorded every show off the soundboard, so I don't know why he wouldn't have recorded that one, but if there's a recording out there, I've never heard it.
	1:12pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Hippy Hinkiveraary Donky Donk!
	1:13pm johnk77: elvin bishop was still great live when i last saw him about 10 years ago
	1:15pm V Priceless: yay Daevid Allen!
	1:15pm The Oscar: "Barry Gibb: Better than the New York Dolls, better than the Ramones, better than the BEATLES!" --lovably unhinged regular at the record store I worked at
	1:16pm Stevel: Great interview with Charlie Musslewhite on WTF podcast. He and Ben Harper. Listen for the times Charlie tells a story or drops a name, and Harper goes "Woah!" Deep roots in the transition from country to electric blues.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Steve!
	1:18pm Mark R: Charlie's another fucking GIANT of blues harp, he's been around forever and it's so cool that he's still playing.
	1:18pm Jeff Golick: I'll have what he's having.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! I had what he's having. I'm too old to have it some more.
	1:19pm Stevel: Is Kim Fowley in the building?
	1:20pm Dean: Do I hear Miquette Giraudy? If so, do I hear Steve Hillage?
	1:20pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Is America Dead?
	1:20pm johnk77: musselwhite was on the bill he sadly was a no-show the night i last saw bishop and many others keep it bluesy selecter:> possibly having a cidre here
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	1:22pm Dean: If 3. I guess that means this was If's first album, Fibonacci-wise?
	1:23pm Dean: Happy angryversary, five-year-old.
	1:23pm Jeff Golick: i0.kym-cdn.com...
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: That'd be a great guess. It would be wrong. But it would be great!
	1:25pm Dean: Better to be great than correct.
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: (i guess that''s what trump's going for.)
	1:28pm Dean: For sure. Make America Correct Again is pretty flat.
	1:29pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: O no you dii innnt
	1:32pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Make America Sane again. I want to laugh at clowns like our last ten presidents but damn... are we just making jokes because it's the only way to stay sane and forget briefly that we are completely powerless and disenfranchised?
	1:32pm Dean: Yes.
	1:33pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Ok fine lol joke away.
	1:36pm Dean: Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!
	1:37pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Nukular combat toe to toe with the ruskies!
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: i intend to laugh my way out of this mess.
	1:38pm Dean: These days it's digital combat.
	1:39pm Dean: Bread co-opted them.
	1:40pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: If you don't give me that come you'll get such a prancing that you'll be lucky to end up wearing the uniform of a bloody toilet attendant!
	1:40pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: *code. Lol. Whoops.
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: crabapple @1.32 Jimmy Carter was within the last 10 presidents, so i beg to differ. (though i didn't feel this way at the time)
	1:40pm Phil Schaap: Dexter had half a bagel. The rest of the band shared a basket of croissants.
	1:40pm burke: I knew this Kiwi who used to say "dick chairs" when he meant "deck chairs"
	1:41pm coelacanth∅: i love this!
	1:42pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Jimmy Carter deregulated the airline industry and a bunch of other stuff and tried to suck Russia into their own Vietnam in Afghanistan.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Make America Great Again = MASA MASA = Make America Tamales Again
	1:44pm Dean: Teach America How To Abbreviate = TAHTA
	1:48pm dan: Am I right in thinking The Beatles' Bad Boy will be on this playlist?
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Probably.
	1:50pm Phil Schaap: Teach America the Difference Between an Acronym and an Initialism = NAFTA.
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: i do vaguely remember Carter deregulating the airline industry. he didn't deregulate much, in general. Reagan did that...what got us into the heap of shit we're in now. and Carter's involvement with the soviet union (not russia) was to increase the trade embargo on them, which i'd stand behind now, as i did then.
	🛒 1:51pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Happy anniversary!
	1:52pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: TATDBAAA teach America the difference between acronyms and abbreviations lol
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: Jeff - (er, Phil) not guilty!
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie! Thanks!
	1:53pm Rich in Washington: now I'm thinking of the old Merry Melodies cartoon where this character keeps saying 'I'm a baaad boy!". I can't remember which one, though.
	1:54pm Phil Schaap: Sounds a little like Greg Cartwright?
	1:55pm Dean: Bugs used to say that, didn't he?
	1:56pm dan: @ Rich That could be one of many cartoons to say that.
	1:57pm listener Rey: @Rich in Washington you're thinking of the feline caricatures called Babbit and Catstello in a Tweety Bird cartoon, the episode name escapes me
	1:57pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: According to Wikipedia deregulation of transportation industry started under Nixon and "President Jimmy Carter devoted substantial effort to transportation deregulation, and worked with Congressional and civil society leaders to pass the Airline Deregulation Act (October 24, 1978), Staggers Rail Act (signed October 14, 1980), and the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 (signed July 1, 1980)."
	1:59pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Re Afghanistan: https://www.counterpunch.org/1998/01/15/how-jimmy-carter-and-i-started-the-mujahideen/
	1:59pm Dean: I'll just recommend Horwitz's The Irony of Regulatory Reform, which describes the history of the deregulation of the telecommunications industry, the irony being that it was the industry that sought the regulation in the first place to protect monopolies.
	2:00pm burke: Thanks UM! I gotta split I'm catching the big game in Saint Looie tonight.
	🛒 2:00pm Brian in UK: Happy anniversary, Uncle.
	2:02pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: America has always been great in terms of being a cultural powerhouse but in most areas we never have been. I am in agreement with Gerald Horne when he calls the Revolution of 1776 a counter Revolution, an effort to protect land owners "right" to own slaves against the growing threat of the abolition movement in England. America was founded on hypocrisy and has never managed to transcend that fully. We are not and haven't been number one in much of anything good for a while... then again all our trouble and strife has led to some great music and art so... that's nice.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Brian! Go, Cubs, burke!
	2:07pm dan: Go Yankees
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Never heard of 'em.
	2:10pm still b/p: “5th Traditional Anniversary Gift: WOOD. Modern Gift: SILVERWARE.”
	2:11pm SeanG: sounding good UM!
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: I've got wood. Sean! Thanks.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: HI!
	2:23pm coelacanth∅: crabapple as i said i do vaguely remember the airline deregulation. i don't know the details and didn't back then...and i have to catch a bus soon so i don't have much time to (turn on my other computer, then) click that link. i'd like to converse with you and i'm thinking we agree on the vast majority of political matters. you do know, though, that a president often works very hard to accomplish something that he doesn't necessarily agree with, because of pressure or threats. also, we've all had moments we're not proud of, and if i think this was the only decent human being in the presidency in my lifetime, i'm saying this in relation to other presidents.
	2:26pm coelacanth∅: ...and people in charge rewrite history, so... (for instants if you look at ronnie reagan in wikipedia there's almost nothing negative - as if he was universally loved while he was in office, and didn't set this country up for all-out corporate takeover. ...but then it wasn't really him, it was the bush empire pulling reagan's strings)
	🛒 2:26pm KevinfromBayRidge: Mazel Tov on the Fifth! Very happy that I've been along for the entire ride. Thanks for lotsa great shit! Not feelin' guilty at all.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the kind words and all the support, Kevin.
	2:42pm dan: Strange cover
	2:44pm Parq: I've had the They Might Be Giants cover of Tubthumping in my mind for a couple of days now, but this is much stranger. I dig it.
	2:45pm Parq: Is there a "Like A Version" album? I think I'd like that a lot.
	2:46pm barrett785: Way to go on the anniversary! Walked in to my boss playing some of your archives this morning in the office. Hinky Dinky all/every weekends long here at the Merc!
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Yes there is, Parq. It's a various artists cover comp. The songs may have all been recorded for it.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Hey Pat, is that you? Thank you. I'll be in tomorrow.
	2:47pm doctorjazz: My live Dead Fix, thanks UM!
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: YW, Doc.
	2:48pm barrett785: That's me and I'll be here. Working up a little cult amongst us cashiers. Thanks for all the tunes!
	2:48pm The Oscar: Anyone ever hear that old "When Pigs Fly" comp? Similar premise-- it had such recordings as Lesley Gore doing "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," and Ani DiFranco and Jackie Chan duetting on "Unforgettable."
	2:51pm Parq: Turns out the Like a Version comp tracks are all taken from an Australian radio show by the same name: en.wikipedia.org...
	2:54pm coelacanth∅: didn't Lennon & McCartney penn this for 3 dog night?
	2:55pm SeanG: Georgie Pie!
	2:55pm Mark R: I think "Long Long Long" is one of George's best (and most overlooked) songs.
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: YW,Pat. Thank you for making sure present day grocers are down with the Hinky and the Dinky!
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: oh my gods i have to leave during THIS SONG?! impossible! but i have to. Thanks Uncle M take care everyone.
	2:56pm The Oscar: @coelacanth0 At first I read that as they wrote it for their dog, and I really wanted that to be true.
	2:56pm dan: The Beatle song du jour. Very nice
	🛒 2:57pm KevinfromBayRidge: Talk about ending on a strong note!
	2:57pm Mark R: And what about this weird ending, man?
	2:59pm Stevel: God bless the Femmes, and Crissie Hynde for putting them on as an opener!
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, UM! Happy anniversary!
	3:00pm Jeff Golick: Thanks!
	3:00pm Matt in Nebraska: Congrats on the 5 year anniversary!
	3:00pm dan: Great anniversary show
	🛒 3:01pm KevinfromBayRidge: Happy Tomato shopping!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, friends!
	3:02pm Parq: Bye, champ.
