Damn. X-Ray. Such a beautiful tribute.

Due you, Mr. Jones.

3:04pm Mr. Pumpy:

Jonesey...you're a class act. X-ray lives on...forever.

3:05pm CakeZ:

What's this?

3:07pm think about it:

Ballad of a Thin Man - Dylan

3:07pm melville:

Great tribute. I miss X-ray Burns and I miss the chemistry Jones and X-ray possessed.

3:10pm BnowB:

Mr Jones .. not a dry eye in the house.
IBJ for life

3:11pm melville:

Yeah, IBJ for life!

3:11pm katharsis:

Hello all. Goodbye X Ray.

3:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Dylan was the Poetry of that society & those situations - w/ roots in Chuck Berry as well as the Beat Writers...Yes - Great Poetry - of a particular Vernacular that happened to be - well - Our Culture...

3:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...just as - say - Robert Frost up here made it out of arrangements of the plain leaves & stones of the landscape - & no 50cent words in sight...

3:17pm Al:

Bill, thanks for opening with Ballad of a Thin Man.

3:22pm John from Florham Park:

Hello from the nice part of jersey

3:23pm allstar ahole:

thanks...last freezone...

3:23pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Sunday afternoon, the way it's gonna be!

3:25pm allstar ahole:

did anyone catch the name of band that sang "girl in a mini skirt"?

3:28pm Sid:

With tinnitus, my computer fan tells me things. I usually don't listen. Sometimes it's right, but most time, it's just random platitudes.

3:30pm Al:

@Sid: Your computer fan has tinnitus?

3:31pm Sid:

Al, wish that was it, but my shower head talks to me too. That would be quite a coincidence.

3:33pm Mr. Pumpy:

Great version by Gloria Jones!

3:34pm John from Florham Park:

Guys sometimes my tinfoil hat talks to me too(G)

3:35pm Listener Robert:

I was hearing quite a bit from my bathroom drain today.

3:36pm SKI THE POLOCK:

THE X MAN LIVES!!

3:36pm John from Florham Park:

@robert is it the theme from jaws

3:37pm Mr. Pumpy:

What a different song it would have been if it was simply titled 'Taint Love'

3:37pm Sid:

:) When plumbing talks, it's rarely a good situation.

3:38pm Sid:

Guess that's better than smokes and second-hand margueritas.

3:42pm Al:

Whoever named Mount Dora, Florida, had quite the sense of humor. Its elevation is 184 feet.

3:45pm Sid:

In Florida, that ~is~ a mountain, right? Related, is Athol, MA below sea level?

3:45pm fleep:

The refrigerator here croons in the night, mumbling to itself in Klingon, which is odd, since it was made in Mexico

3:46pm Miles:

shades of the Hauman Expression on that Waterhouse track

3:46pm John from Florham Park:

@fleep does your fridge say today is a good day to die(G)

3:47pm Miles Dougal:

human * expression

3:48pm fleep:

John of FP, thank you! We thought it was saying today is a good day to diet.

3:49pm Sid:

fleep, do your ears ring when it's quiet? My refrigerator sometimes does hour-long radio shows. I know they're not real, because there are never commercial breaks.

3:49pm Al:

@Sid: In Florida, that would qualify as a mountain. Although, the highest point in the state is Britton Hill at 355 ft., the lowest state high point in the US.

3:49pm John from Florham Park:

@fleep I see you got what I said

3:50pm Sid:

You know, if you keep draining those Florida swamps, your high points are going to sag even lower.

3:52pm Al:

@Sid: Athol, MA elevation: 546 ft.

3:54pm Sid:

Well, there goes my Athol theory down the drain.... where it will start mocking me tongues.

3:55pm Sid:

mocking me ~in~ tongues

3:57pm Sid:

WABC played a stiff? '66 is too late for payola, too.

3:57pm fleep:

Sid, I'm still working on the right way to pronounce 'tinnitus'

3:59pm allstar ahole:

mindeless flogging

4:01pm Sid:

ˈti-nə-təs (tinna-tis) or tə-ˈnī-təs (tin-eye'-tis). I prefer tin-eye'-tis; makes it sound more important.

4:04pm Mike tp:

here's my cents the late night hum of a fridge and bonus the toilet water keeps running music to my ears.

4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I have listened to the fridge less altitudinous - & that has made all the tinnitus.

4:30pm katharsis:

Thanks all. I go forth to forage for things to put in the fridge.

4:33pm dale:

just dropping in to thumbs up that magnificent moodys tune with denny laine at the helm.

4:33pm sit n squeee:

i just dropped a freshie guys

4:35pm Al:

Chase commercial!

4:47pm sit n squeeze:

My bottom here croaks in the night, mumbling to itself in Klingon, which is odd, since it's full of s***

4:57pm Listener Robert:

Party on, X.Ray, wherever you are.

4:59pm Sid:

Dark November? In February? That's depressing. Like going from the northern hemisphere to the southern in March. For 6 months!

5:01pm Sid:

Party on, plumbing!

5:33pm allstar ahole:

2:42pm Peapeagirl:

Thanks to all!

1:24am John from CDA:

The Elastik Band are from Belmont CA, near San Francisco. Needless to say, the song, "Spazz", was controversial when it was released.
