	10:19pm Funky16Corners: There's a nice obit in the NYT
	10:21pm Erica: Any Monkees song wriien by Nilsson tonight? Would love to hear "Cuddly Toy" or "Daddy's Song"
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: You will not be disappointed!
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: There's even some post-Monkees Monkees in the offing!
	10:23pm Erica: Written, nit wriien. That was a typo.
	10:23pm Erica: Not
	10:24pm northguineahills: Been here for over an hour off and on but my laptop is pining for euthanasia, and I can't afford that right now....
	10:24pm Webhamster Henry: I sang "There Will Never Be" in the Loser's Lounge Tribute to Nilsson decades ago! One of the non Nilsson written numbers.
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: Hearing him do other people's songs was always a pleasure. That amazing voice.
	10:26pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH!
	10:27pm Erica: That Wah wah wah noise he made. :D
	10:28pm Webhamster Henry: @ngh my laptop had battery replacement surgery today. Apple likes to glue things now. Glue instead of screws. #righttorepair
	10:28pm northguineahills: Thinking of trying to make something daft, smoke trout tacos!
	10:29pm Webhamster Henry: Davy was always the Artful Dodger!
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: MMmmmmmm!
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: I've come to appreciate Davy so much more in the past few years.
	10:30pm Erica: Yeah. It was sad when he died (Leap Year Day) back in 2012.
	10:31pm still b/p: Davy did Dodger number on Ed Sullivan the same night the who-know-whos stole the spotlight, to understate it by mania-mile.
	10:31pm Webhamster Henry: How about Girl friend/Best Friend?
	10:32pm Erica: My favorite pre-Monkees performance by Davy is "Put Me Amongst the Girls", a very British pop number.
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: Hey SBP! There's an interview on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast with Marty Brill and Mitzi McCall who were on that same show
	10:33pm Funky16Corners: Webhamster Henry - All will be revealed! Hang in!
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: There's another movie with sung credits like this but I can't remember it at the moment
	10:34pm Erica: Leave it to Nilsson to turn credits of a show or movie into a song.
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: He's in the movie, too, as a tower guard at the prison
	10:35pm still b/p: I've heard them elsewhere, Larry....great story of bad break due to big splash & eclipse. And I think John came into their dressing room, bumming a coin for a Coke.
	10:35pm Erica: Never seen Skiddoo. Might need to check it out if I can.
	10:36pm Webhamster Henry: @Funky16Corners it's Morricone's Uccellacci E Uccellini which is fantastic!
	10:36pm Franco Twinkie: Someplace under/behind this very desk top I sit in front of there is a Nilsson button given to me at the flea market by one of his disciples who I kid you not, made me take an oath of loyalty before he gave it to me!
	10:36pm Funky16Corners: Erica - I think you'll enjoy it. It's a spectacular mess but has so many cool people in it it's worth a viewing
	10:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey Franco! Hos devotees are intense!
	10:37pm still b/p: Credit bit was like a cousin to Drop That Name: www.allmusicals.com...
	10:38pm Funky16Corners: Webhamster Henry - What is?
	10:39pm northguineahills: Curious, Henry. I usually do my own home digital hygiene, but this laptop is 8.5 years old, and I spending more time cleaning it then it's worth. Loving the Nilsson! /back to chore mode....
	10:40pm Webhamster Henry: @F16C: It's a Pasolini movie: www.youtube.com...
	10:40pm Franco Twinkie: A tiny Jackie Gleason on acid running around in a bathroom sink. I think I remember that correctly. I was pretty high myself when I saw it. Oh yeah, Milton Berle too!
	10:41pm northguineahills: B/c I'm a little slow upstairs, I just realized I can use an old walkman to listen to cassettes in my car via my Aux input I usually use for my phone input.
	10:42pm northguineahills: Erica is full of great ideas....
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - Groucho as God!
	10:43pm Franco Twinkie: Oh shit! I totally forgot that part!
	10:43pm northguineahills: (Aux input for my car)
	10:45pm Webhamster Henry: This is a might overproduced, but fun!
	10:46pm Funky16Corners: This is the version from his remix album.
	10:46pm Erica: Nilsson wrote/sung many songs yet most people know him for "Everybody's Talkin'" and "Without You".
	10:47pm Funky16Corners: Yup
	10:48pm Webhamster Henry: ... as opposed to "I Guess the Lord Must Be in NYC" and "Without Her". But .. that BAN commercial!
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: pussycats is possibly my favorite Nilsson album. i love shmilsson though; grew up with it. coconut & jump into the fire are embedded into my dna.
	10:49pm rw: Hello! When I think of Nilsson I go to the song about the lime and the coconut.
	10:50pm Franco Twinkie: Erica, Let us not forget - Kojak,Kojak. Columbo...
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: ...and everybody's talkin' - but i didn't hear it until years after shmilsson.
	10:51pm Erica: The album version of "Everybody's Talkin" from 1971 sounds a bit different from the hit single version from the 60s.
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: ngh this is why i'll be sad when my snow leopard finally dies. i don't even need a battery to use it.
	10:52pm still b/p: It was late late into adult years before, "Jump Into the Fire...Ohhh, it's Nilsson? It's Nilsson!"
	10:53pm doctorjazz: Hi made it!
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: when i was maybe 11? my older sister had a boyfriend, probably the nicest one out of thousands, who threw my younger sister & myself into the back seat of his '68 forest green firebird and we cruised around listening to nilsson shmilsson (and steppenwolf) loud and bassy. jump into the fire blew my little mind!
	10:57pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	11:00pm geezerette: Almost missed this! I looooooove Nilsson. Hi, Larry and all. :)
	11:00pm Funky16Corners: Hi Geezerette!
	11:02pm rw: Me and My Arrow is one of my earliest memories of listening to the radio. It must have been an AM hit.
	11:03pm Funky16Corners: I remember playing The Point for my sons when they were little. The Ringo version, of course
	11:03pm rw: And doing the math, I must have been about 8 yrs old.
	11:03pm still b/p: Another one of those, "I was never even close to being a motorhead, but..." moments: glimpsed a 100% primer Camaro or Firebird of that same era in a rural driveway today as I sped past, and thought, "Wonder how it's gonna be painted, mmmm."
	11:04pm Funky16Corners: My ineptitude with cars aside, I love old muscle cars, hot rods etc
	11:04pm Franco Twinkie: The Point is forever linked in my memory with the first season of All In The Family. They were both the highlights of t.v. in 1971.
	11:04pm Erica: "People let me tell you 'bout my beesst friennd."
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: This is from the UK stage show of the Point with Mickey and Davy
	11:06pm Franco Twinkie: I was thinking of the squiggly line cartoon.
	11:06pm Erica: Seriously though, I look forward to hearing "Best Friend" as well.
	11:07pm Funky16Corners: Here you go!
	11:08pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	11:08pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure!
	11:10pm Webhamster Henry: I have a copy of "Bill Martin's Concerto for Headphones and Contra-Buffoon in Asia Minor" which Nilsson co-produced with Hank Cicalo and probably a lot of chemicals.
	11:11pm Funky16Corners: I don't know that. I'll have to look for it.
	11:11pm doctorjazz: Nilsson, another of those artists about whom I always felt guilty that I hadn't checked him out more...
	11:11pm Webhamster Henry: Well .. not recommended!
	11:12pm Erica: Franco: I think you're referring to 80s Simpsons lol.
	11:12pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Dig in now. It's all there to be checked out, and all worth it.
	11:13pm doctorjazz: I am, enjoying it, thanks, Larry.
	11:14pm Funky16Corners: Oh, I meant outside of the show (at your leisure), but I'm glad you're enjoying it.
	11:14pm Webhamster Henry: Looking forward to more Nilsson covers, perhaps ones without the typical Tipton sound.
	11:15pm Funky16Corners: dDef more coming
	11:15pm still b/p: A friend enjoys telling how pre-fame Anne Murray's manager finagled a photo of her with Hollywood Vampires including Harry out at the Troubador, and suddenly, as intended, she was presumed to be somebody.
	11:16pm Funky16Corners: I've seen that pic. She looks a little frightened
	11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, this is all fine and dandy, but let's get to the part where Harry and John Lennon got thrown out of the Troubador onto Santa Monica Blvd. by Robert Marchese who was one bad motherfucker.
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: His alcoholic antics just make me sad. He wrecked his voice.
	11:19pm still b/p: Browsing one article accompanying the pic, my impression of Alice Cooper as a dip and a pill was just reinforced.
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: Alice was an even bigger lush. He almost killed himself.
	11:21pm Funky16Corners: I'm no prude/scold, but to see someone drink/drug their gift into nothingness makes me sad, especially an instrument as wonderful as Nilsson's
	11:22pm Franco Twinkie: About that time I saw Alice driving around in Griffith Park looking totally lost while me and my girlfriend were looking for some bushes where we could have sex.
	11:23pm northguineahills: Squiggly lined cartoon sounds like Dr. Katz. At coel: Rename it an Amur Leopard, more rare, but very much alive.
	11:23pm still b/p: If you eventually found your secluded-enough spot, and had great sex, and Alice knew you'd seen him, he'd take credit for how good it was.
	11:23pm geezerette: that unmistakable cadence...sweet but melancholy. Did he compose Altman's Popeye score? Must have!
	11:24pm Webhamster Henry: The Documentary states he'd show at his friends' houses and just drive off spontaneously for a few days.
	11:24pm Funky16Corners: He did, one of the main reasons I love the movie
	11:24pm Jeff Ash: Fred Schneider of the B-52s does a wonderfully unhinged cover of this.
	11:24pm geezerette: "You're such a silly woman..."
	11:24pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - It's on that Nilsson tribute I mentioned earlier. A great collection
	11:25pm northguineahills: First Nilsson song I heard in HS via Resevoir Dogs.
	11:25pm doctorjazz: I actually have a bunch of his albums downloaded, but haven't found the time to listen to them yet.
	11:25pm Erica: "Put the lime in the coconut." That doctor sounds like a quack.
	11:25pm Funky16Corners: When I was a little kid I thought this song was hilarious.
	11:25pm geezerette: One of our favorite albums.
	11:26pm Webhamster Henry: @geezerette Ken plays Nilsson & Shelley Duvall's rehearsals of He Needs Me a lot. It's pretty stunning!
	11:26pm Jeff Ash: Ah, yes. Great tribute CD from the early '90s.
	11:27pm geezerette: @Webhamster, it is really beautiful.
	11:28pm Franco Twinkie: Yeah he was a total drunk, but his first band was top shelf. I saw them when Love It To Death came out. They totally ruled Hollywood.
	11:28pm Funky16Corners: TURN IT UP
	11:29pm Jeff Ash: I know every groove of the Nilsson Schmilsson LP. This is one of the records I had 45+ years ago, way back when I had only 10 or so LPs.
	11:29pm Funky16Corners: Now all I can think of is Henry Hill running away from the cops
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: It's such a great record
	11:31pm geezerette: :D WE CAN MAKE EACH OTHER HAPPY!!!
	11:31pm Jeff Ash: And to have it be a cornerstone of your musical knowledge. THAT DRUM SOLO!
	11:31pm Funky16Corners: @Geezerette- Let's hope so!
	11:32pm Franco Twinkie: I gotta know....Who is playing the drums?
	11:32pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - Jim Gordon
	11:32pm Jeff Ash: Yep.
	11:32pm still b/p: This will be my lullaby, and then put the lime of self in the coconut bunk. Thanks for slippin' us a hefty happy hit of Harry!
	11:33pm Franco Twinkie: Figures!
	11:33pm Funky16Corners: Nite SBP! As always, my pleasure!
	11:36pm Erica: "Me & My Arrow was also on the Simpsons when Homer had a dog as a kid.
	11:40pm Franco Twinkie: Some place in this dump we have a bag of seeds from George Harrisons Hollyhocks that Jim Gordon smuggled back from those flowers in front of that house in the pictures...It's a long story.
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Yes! I forgot about that!
	11:40pm geezerette: Oh, this is a heartbreaking combination.
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: @FRanco - Do hollyhock seeds have any value aside from growing hollyhocks?
	11:42pm Franco Twinkie: Yes. I think they have application in heart medication,,,,or is that some other flower?
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: Isn't digitalis from Morning Glory seeds?
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: Nope, foxglove!
	11:44pm Franco Twinkie: No. Morning Glory isn't good for anything except giving you a head ache.
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: Never had the pleasure, but I remember hearing stories
	11:46pm Franco Twinkie: Well, don't bother. It's a shitty high.
	11:47pm geezerette: Lena could sing anything. Classy. Stunning set!!!
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: I'm a few decades removed from that kind of tomfoolery
	11:48pm doctorjazz: Cool Ella, who'd a thunk.
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: @Geezerette - Thanks! That Lena album is superb. She dies a few Eugene McDaniels compositions on it that are great
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: when i was a teenager a friend heard that one could get high from morning glory seeds, and he knew where there were lots of them, on the vine still. 3 of us ate them, counting. i had 60something. none of us got high. all of us had slight belly aches. none of us died. stupid kids. good times.
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - This album is great. It has some great soulful stuff on it
	11:49pm doctorjazz: The Lena Horne was also wild!
	11:50pm Franco Twinkie: Good for you! Remember what the Cramps said - Don't Eat Stuff Off The Sidewalk.
	11:50pm Funky16Corners: Another great album to look out for, though it is sought out by soul collectors
	11:50pm coelacanth∅: i've heard morning glory can be pretty toxic, but there're lots of plants in that family. sweet potato is in the morning glory family, and that's practically a "superfood".
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: Tomatoes are in the same family as some deadly poison
	11:52pm coelacanth∅: Franco i took everything that was handed to me. literally.
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: Me too, Coel!
	11:53pm Erica: I must ask this: how come people refer him to either as Harry Nilsson or just Nilsson? How did that start?
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: tomato is a solanace(sp?) ...a nightshade. highly toxic; as is potato, eggplant, tobacco....the leaves of all those plants are very much poisonous.
	11:54pm Erica: Why was he referred to those names I mean?
	11:54pm Jeff Ash: "Remember" is a beautiful song. Glad you didn't play the false start.
	11:54pm rw: F16C, Thanks for this tribute. Nilsson is someone I've never studied closely but always have intended to. It's interesting to me that his songs seem to spark such nostalgia for people of a certain age. Also, sorry to hear about your friend's dad.
	11:54pm Franco Twinkie: So what's all this jazz about tomato sauce been some kind of super food?
	11:54pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - He's billed that way (single name) on his albums.
	11:55pm Webhamster Henry: Fred Astaire covered Wailing of the Willow on his 1975 Attitude Dancing "I'm not irrelevant am I?" album.
	11:55pm geezerette: Wonderful show,Larry! Thanks so much! Sweet dreams,all.
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: @rw - Thanks. I think Nilsson has so much of the old school running through his music that it lends itself to nostalgic reverie
	11:55pm rw: Franco, tomato sauce, pizza, you know.
	11:56pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, dug the show!
	11:56pm Erica: Very confusing indeed. He's STILL referred to as Nilsson to this day.
	11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Larry. A great show....as always!
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: Franco that's as much bullshit as cow milk being good for you. some study found a good antioxidant in tomato; but that doesn't negate that a huge % of people are allergic to them (& don't know it) and it's a primary aggrivation to reumatoid (sp) arthritis.
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: Pizza! Yes!
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: ...you can find some useful nutrient in pretty much anything.
	11:58pm Jeff Ash: Thank you, sir!
	11:59pm Webhamster Henry: Well that was fun!
	11:59pm rw: Dug it. Thanks man! I'm 56 tomorrow!
	11:59pm Franco Twinkie: Morning Glory?
	11:59pm Erica: I gotta go now too Larry. Tonight was fun. Time for bed now.
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks guys! Happy Birthday rw!
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: Nite Erica!
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! sorry to hear about your friend's dad. happy birfday rw! take care y'all
	12:00am Franco Twinkie: RW...You baby!
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Thanks C! Nite all!
	12:00am rw: Ha! Thanks everyone!
	12:01am coelacanth∅: no Franco the nightshades are unrelated to morning glory. potatoes and sweet potatoes unrelated; yams and what most people call yams are also unrelated to each-other..
	12:01am Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the Tipton and Aerial Pandemonium Ballet rarities!
	12:02am Funky16Corners: My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed them.
	12:02am coelacanth∅: good nightshade, everyone.
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Nite C!
	12:02am Franco Twinkie: Cqel, will you come here and make me a salad?
	12:03am coelacanth∅: hahaha next week!
	12:29am chresti: Thanks Larry

	10:28pm Webhamster Henry: @ngh my laptop had battery replacement surgery today. Apple likes to glue things now. Glue instead of screws. #righttorepair
	10:28pm northguineahills: Thinking of trying to make something daft, smoke trout tacos!
	10:29pm Webhamster Henry: Davy was always the Artful Dodger!
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: MMmmmmmm!
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: I've come to appreciate Davy so much more in the past few years.
	10:30pm Erica: Yeah. It was sad when he died (Leap Year Day) back in 2012.
	10:31pm still b/p: Davy did Dodger number on Ed Sullivan the same night the who-know-whos stole the spotlight, to understate it by mania-mile.
	10:31pm Webhamster Henry: How about Girl friend/Best Friend?
	10:32pm Erica: My favorite pre-Monkees performance by Davy is "Put Me Amongst the Girls", a very British pop number.
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: Hey SBP! There's an interview on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast with Marty Brill and Mitzi McCall who were on that same show
	10:33pm Funky16Corners: Webhamster Henry - All will be revealed! Hang in!
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: There's another movie with sung credits like this but I can't remember it at the moment
	10:34pm Erica: Leave it to Nilsson to turn credits of a show or movie into a song.
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: He's in the movie, too, as a tower guard at the prison
	10:35pm still b/p: I've heard them elsewhere, Larry....great story of bad break due to big splash & eclipse. And I think John came into their dressing room, bumming a coin for a Coke.
	10:35pm Erica: Never seen Skiddoo. Might need to check it out if I can.
	10:36pm Webhamster Henry: @Funky16Corners it's Morricone's Uccellacci E Uccellini which is fantastic!
	10:36pm Franco Twinkie: Someplace under/behind this very desk top I sit in front of there is a Nilsson button given to me at the flea market by one of his disciples who I kid you not, made me take an oath of loyalty before he gave it to me!
	10:36pm Funky16Corners: Erica - I think you'll enjoy it. It's a spectacular mess but has so many cool people in it it's worth a viewing
	10:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey Franco! Hos devotees are intense!
	10:37pm still b/p: Credit bit was like a cousin to Drop That Name: www.allmusicals.com...
	10:38pm Funky16Corners: Webhamster Henry - What is?
	10:39pm northguineahills: Curious, Henry. I usually do my own home digital hygiene, but this laptop is 8.5 years old, and I spending more time cleaning it then it's worth. Loving the Nilsson! /back to chore mode....
	10:40pm Webhamster Henry: @F16C: It's a Pasolini movie: www.youtube.com...
	10:40pm Franco Twinkie: A tiny Jackie Gleason on acid running around in a bathroom sink. I think I remember that correctly. I was pretty high myself when I saw it. Oh yeah, Milton Berle too!
	10:41pm northguineahills: B/c I'm a little slow upstairs, I just realized I can use an old walkman to listen to cassettes in my car via my Aux input I usually use for my phone input.
	10:42pm northguineahills: Erica is full of great ideas....
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - Groucho as God!
	10:43pm Franco Twinkie: Oh shit! I totally forgot that part!
	10:43pm northguineahills: (Aux input for my car)
	10:45pm Webhamster Henry: This is a might overproduced, but fun!
	10:46pm Funky16Corners: This is the version from his remix album.
	10:46pm Erica: Nilsson wrote/sung many songs yet most people know him for "Everybody's Talkin'" and "Without You".
	10:47pm Funky16Corners: Yup
	10:48pm Webhamster Henry: ... as opposed to "I Guess the Lord Must Be in NYC" and "Without Her". But .. that BAN commercial!
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: pussycats is possibly my favorite Nilsson album. i love shmilsson though; grew up with it. coconut & jump into the fire are embedded into my dna.
	10:49pm rw: Hello! When I think of Nilsson I go to the song about the lime and the coconut.
	10:50pm Franco Twinkie: Erica, Let us not forget - Kojak,Kojak. Columbo...
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: ...and everybody's talkin' - but i didn't hear it until years after shmilsson.
	10:51pm Erica: The album version of "Everybody's Talkin" from 1971 sounds a bit different from the hit single version from the 60s.
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: ngh this is why i'll be sad when my snow leopard finally dies. i don't even need a battery to use it.
	10:52pm still b/p: It was late late into adult years before, "Jump Into the Fire...Ohhh, it's Nilsson? It's Nilsson!"
	10:53pm doctorjazz: Hi made it!
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: when i was maybe 11? my older sister had a boyfriend, probably the nicest one out of thousands, who threw my younger sister & myself into the back seat of his '68 forest green firebird and we cruised around listening to nilsson shmilsson (and steppenwolf) loud and bassy. jump into the fire blew my little mind!
	10:57pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	11:00pm geezerette: Almost missed this! I looooooove Nilsson. Hi, Larry and all. :)
	11:00pm Funky16Corners: Hi Geezerette!
	11:02pm rw: Me and My Arrow is one of my earliest memories of listening to the radio. It must have been an AM hit.
	11:03pm Funky16Corners: I remember playing The Point for my sons when they were little. The Ringo version, of course
	11:03pm rw: And doing the math, I must have been about 8 yrs old.
	11:03pm still b/p: Another one of those, "I was never even close to being a motorhead, but..." moments: glimpsed a 100% primer Camaro or Firebird of that same era in a rural driveway today as I sped past, and thought, "Wonder how it's gonna be painted, mmmm."
	11:04pm Funky16Corners: My ineptitude with cars aside, I love old muscle cars, hot rods etc
	11:04pm Franco Twinkie: The Point is forever linked in my memory with the first season of All In The Family. They were both the highlights of t.v. in 1971.
	11:04pm Erica: "People let me tell you 'bout my beesst friennd."
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: This is from the UK stage show of the Point with Mickey and Davy
	11:06pm Franco Twinkie: I was thinking of the squiggly line cartoon.
	11:06pm Erica: Seriously though, I look forward to hearing "Best Friend" as well.
	11:07pm Funky16Corners: Here you go!
	11:08pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	11:08pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure!
	11:10pm Webhamster Henry: I have a copy of "Bill Martin's Concerto for Headphones and Contra-Buffoon in Asia Minor" which Nilsson co-produced with Hank Cicalo and probably a lot of chemicals.
	11:11pm Funky16Corners: I don't know that. I'll have to look for it.
	11:11pm doctorjazz: Nilsson, another of those artists about whom I always felt guilty that I hadn't checked him out more...
	11:11pm Webhamster Henry: Well .. not recommended!
	11:12pm Erica: Franco: I think you're referring to 80s Simpsons lol.
	11:12pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Dig in now. It's all there to be checked out, and all worth it.
	11:13pm doctorjazz: I am, enjoying it, thanks, Larry.
	11:14pm Funky16Corners: Oh, I meant outside of the show (at your leisure), but I'm glad you're enjoying it.
	11:14pm Webhamster Henry: Looking forward to more Nilsson covers, perhaps ones without the typical Tipton sound.
	11:15pm Funky16Corners: dDef more coming
	11:15pm still b/p: A friend enjoys telling how pre-fame Anne Murray's manager finagled a photo of her with Hollywood Vampires including Harry out at the Troubador, and suddenly, as intended, she was presumed to be somebody.
	11:16pm Funky16Corners: I've seen that pic. She looks a little frightened
	11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, this is all fine and dandy, but let's get to the part where Harry and John Lennon got thrown out of the Troubador onto Santa Monica Blvd. by Robert Marchese who was one bad motherfucker.
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: His alcoholic antics just make me sad. He wrecked his voice.
	11:19pm still b/p: Browsing one article accompanying the pic, my impression of Alice Cooper as a dip and a pill was just reinforced.
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: Alice was an even bigger lush. He almost killed himself.
	11:21pm Funky16Corners: I'm no prude/scold, but to see someone drink/drug their gift into nothingness makes me sad, especially an instrument as wonderful as Nilsson's
	11:22pm Franco Twinkie: About that time I saw Alice driving around in Griffith Park looking totally lost while me and my girlfriend were looking for some bushes where we could have sex.
	11:23pm northguineahills: Squiggly lined cartoon sounds like Dr. Katz. At coel: Rename it an Amur Leopard, more rare, but very much alive.
	11:23pm still b/p: If you eventually found your secluded-enough spot, and had great sex, and Alice knew you'd seen him, he'd take credit for how good it was.
	11:23pm geezerette: that unmistakable cadence...sweet but melancholy. Did he compose Altman's Popeye score? Must have!
	11:24pm Webhamster Henry: The Documentary states he'd show at his friends' houses and just drive off spontaneously for a few days.
	11:24pm Funky16Corners: He did, one of the main reasons I love the movie
	11:24pm Jeff Ash: Fred Schneider of the B-52s does a wonderfully unhinged cover of this.
	11:24pm geezerette: "You're such a silly woman..."
	11:24pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - It's on that Nilsson tribute I mentioned earlier. A great collection
	11:25pm northguineahills: First Nilsson song I heard in HS via Resevoir Dogs.
	11:25pm doctorjazz: I actually have a bunch of his albums downloaded, but haven't found the time to listen to them yet.
	11:25pm Erica: "Put the lime in the coconut." That doctor sounds like a quack.
	11:25pm Funky16Corners: When I was a little kid I thought this song was hilarious.
	11:25pm geezerette: One of our favorite albums.
	11:26pm Webhamster Henry: @geezerette Ken plays Nilsson & Shelley Duvall's rehearsals of He Needs Me a lot. It's pretty stunning!
	11:26pm Jeff Ash: Ah, yes. Great tribute CD from the early '90s.
	11:27pm geezerette: @Webhamster, it is really beautiful.
	11:28pm Franco Twinkie: Yeah he was a total drunk, but his first band was top shelf. I saw them when Love It To Death came out. They totally ruled Hollywood.
	11:28pm Funky16Corners: TURN IT UP
	11:29pm Jeff Ash: I know every groove of the Nilsson Schmilsson LP. This is one of the records I had 45+ years ago, way back when I had only 10 or so LPs.
	11:29pm Funky16Corners: Now all I can think of is Henry Hill running away from the cops
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: It's such a great record
	11:31pm geezerette: :D WE CAN MAKE EACH OTHER HAPPY!!!
	11:31pm Jeff Ash: And to have it be a cornerstone of your musical knowledge. THAT DRUM SOLO!
	11:31pm Funky16Corners: @Geezerette- Let's hope so!
	11:32pm Franco Twinkie: I gotta know....Who is playing the drums?
	11:32pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - Jim Gordon
	11:32pm Jeff Ash: Yep.
	11:32pm still b/p: This will be my lullaby, and then put the lime of self in the coconut bunk. Thanks for slippin' us a hefty happy hit of Harry!
	11:33pm Franco Twinkie: Figures!
	11:33pm Funky16Corners: Nite SBP! As always, my pleasure!
	11:36pm Erica: "Me & My Arrow was also on the Simpsons when Homer had a dog as a kid.
	11:40pm Franco Twinkie: Some place in this dump we have a bag of seeds from George Harrisons Hollyhocks that Jim Gordon smuggled back from those flowers in front of that house in the pictures...It's a long story.
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Yes! I forgot about that!
	11:40pm geezerette: Oh, this is a heartbreaking combination.
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: @FRanco - Do hollyhock seeds have any value aside from growing hollyhocks?
	11:42pm Franco Twinkie: Yes. I think they have application in heart medication,,,,or is that some other flower?
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: Isn't digitalis from Morning Glory seeds?
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: Nope, foxglove!
	11:44pm Franco Twinkie: No. Morning Glory isn't good for anything except giving you a head ache.
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: Never had the pleasure, but I remember hearing stories
	11:46pm Franco Twinkie: Well, don't bother. It's a shitty high.
	11:47pm geezerette: Lena could sing anything. Classy. Stunning set!!!
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: I'm a few decades removed from that kind of tomfoolery
	11:48pm doctorjazz: Cool Ella, who'd a thunk.
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: @Geezerette - Thanks! That Lena album is superb. She dies a few Eugene McDaniels compositions on it that are great
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: when i was a teenager a friend heard that one could get high from morning glory seeds, and he knew where there were lots of them, on the vine still. 3 of us ate them, counting. i had 60something. none of us got high. all of us had slight belly aches. none of us died. stupid kids. good times.
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - This album is great. It has some great soulful stuff on it
	11:49pm doctorjazz: The Lena Horne was also wild!
	11:50pm Franco Twinkie: Good for you! Remember what the Cramps said - Don't Eat Stuff Off The Sidewalk.
	11:50pm Funky16Corners: Another great album to look out for, though it is sought out by soul collectors
	11:50pm coelacanth∅: i've heard morning glory can be pretty toxic, but there're lots of plants in that family. sweet potato is in the morning glory family, and that's practically a "superfood".
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: Tomatoes are in the same family as some deadly poison
	11:52pm coelacanth∅: Franco i took everything that was handed to me. literally.
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: Me too, Coel!
	11:53pm Erica: I must ask this: how come people refer him to either as Harry Nilsson or just Nilsson? How did that start?
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: tomato is a solanace(sp?) ...a nightshade. highly toxic; as is potato, eggplant, tobacco....the leaves of all those plants are very much poisonous.
	11:54pm Erica: Why was he referred to those names I mean?
	11:54pm Jeff Ash: "Remember" is a beautiful song. Glad you didn't play the false start.
	11:54pm rw: F16C, Thanks for this tribute. Nilsson is someone I've never studied closely but always have intended to. It's interesting to me that his songs seem to spark such nostalgia for people of a certain age. Also, sorry to hear about your friend's dad.
	11:54pm Franco Twinkie: So what's all this jazz about tomato sauce been some kind of super food?
	11:54pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - He's billed that way (single name) on his albums.
	11:55pm Webhamster Henry: Fred Astaire covered Wailing of the Willow on his 1975 Attitude Dancing "I'm not irrelevant am I?" album.
	11:55pm geezerette: Wonderful show,Larry! Thanks so much! Sweet dreams,all.
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: @rw - Thanks. I think Nilsson has so much of the old school running through his music that it lends itself to nostalgic reverie
	11:55pm rw: Franco, tomato sauce, pizza, you know.
	11:56pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, dug the show!
	11:56pm Erica: Very confusing indeed. He's STILL referred to as Nilsson to this day.
	11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Larry. A great show....as always!
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: Franco that's as much bullshit as cow milk being good for you. some study found a good antioxidant in tomato; but that doesn't negate that a huge % of people are allergic to them (& don't know it) and it's a primary aggrivation to reumatoid (sp) arthritis.
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: Pizza! Yes!
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: ...you can find some useful nutrient in pretty much anything.
	11:58pm Jeff Ash: Thank you, sir!
	11:59pm Webhamster Henry: Well that was fun!
	11:59pm rw: Dug it. Thanks man! I'm 56 tomorrow!
	11:59pm Franco Twinkie: Morning Glory?
	11:59pm Erica: I gotta go now too Larry. Tonight was fun. Time for bed now.
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks guys! Happy Birthday rw!
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: Nite Erica!
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! sorry to hear about your friend's dad. happy birfday rw! take care y'all
	12:00am Franco Twinkie: RW...You baby!
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Thanks C! Nite all!
	12:00am rw: Ha! Thanks everyone!
	12:01am coelacanth∅: no Franco the nightshades are unrelated to morning glory. potatoes and sweet potatoes unrelated; yams and what most people call yams are also unrelated to each-other..
	12:01am Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the Tipton and Aerial Pandemonium Ballet rarities!
	12:02am Funky16Corners: My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed them.
	12:02am coelacanth∅: good nightshade, everyone.
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Nite C!
	12:02am Franco Twinkie: Cqel, will you come here and make me a salad?
	12:03am coelacanth∅: hahaha next week!
	12:29am chresti: Thanks Larry
