	3:17pm Yes: will check out the "white fragility" link . thank you for sharing again
	3:18pm brainiac: I can't imagine a more important issue facing the country today.
	3:18pm Motis: 10-HAND therapeutic massage special with GIRLS ALOUD, only $280

	3:19pm Neil M: Babs! Yes! Bring it today!
	3:20pm Yes: BARBRA
	3:21pm mattV: Bonjour from Paris, Sheila. Super stressed out with my PhD defense in just a few days, but you're helping me relax!
	3:22pm Bri The Beatnik: Lol Motis reminds me of their “The show” music video
	3:22pm Briguyhere: Out of the gates swinging ! Love it!
	3:22pm loveless: Finally! A friend called me right before the show started and says, "you sound distracted". Of course, I was! I was trying to listen my show. That phone call was much too long! Hello everyone.
	3:22pm Bri The Beatnik: Hey Loveless!
	3:23pm Bri The Beatnik: And Bonjour Matt!
	3:23pm Motis: THE EXCITERS special coming up on Sophisticated Boom Boom in July!
	3:23pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, Bri!
	3:23pm Joe B: very cool - just reading about the exciters as being part of a key moment in Beatles history that I had not realized they were a part of in Jacksonville Florida
	3:24pm Chop Scott: Good Afternoon Sheila B.!!
	3:24pm djsheilab: Hey loveless, mattV, diciassette, big adam, + JsteveoB!
	3:24pm Bri The Beatnik: Hey Pumpy! What’s up?
	3:25pm davie B: i wanna go to cape verde
	3:25pm Briguyhere: I want to go ANYWHERE
	3:26pm Bri The Beatnik: Me too Briguy!
	3:26pm Michael 98145: i hear that
	3:27pm Jennica: @mattV: sending well-wishing your way! Go get 'em!
	3:27pm Rob Kopp: Hello Sheila, hello Friday friends. Sorry I'm late, but there was a small crisis in our record club :-(
	3:27pm BH: I kinda wonder if "Cabo Verde" will catch on or if we'll keep saying "Cape Verde"
	3:27pm Bri The Beatnik: On no Rob! :(
	3:27pm Motis: Not to be confused with Santiago Island, Galapagos
	3:28pm Rob Kopp: Enough about that. It's SBB time!
	3:29pm Jett: Don't forget about the fact that the Rooney's son (of The Exciters) is an important music executive nowadays.
	3:30pm Mr. Pumpy: @Bri...livin'. You know the drill. Haven't been on much lately. How are you?
	3:30pm Bri The Beatnik: @Mr. Pumpy I’m good! And you?
	3:31pm Motis: I think today's hep and fab recording / producing techniques and Interwebz distribution make it easy to lose the really startling talent and sheer vocal power of singers from back when, like Barbra Streisand. If you could hear her on a big stage all alone, no mic, just pushing air, she was pitch-perfect and could PROJECT.
	3:31pm Lord Blatherard Osmo: Morris Levy claimed writer's credit on many of the songs he released on Roulette -- most significantly Why Do Fools Fall in Love? by Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers
	3:31pm P-90: “All Over the Place” sounds like a great direction for the show
	3:33pm Mr. Pumpy: good!
	3:33pm loveless: @Bri The Beatnik How's it going by you?
	3:35pm common: good stuff sheila! happy friday all. i hope.
	3:37pm djsheilab: A link to the July 7th workshop "Embodied Justice: How Can Non-Black Allies Effect Ant-Racist Change?" www.eventbrite.com...
	3:38pm djsheilab: Lord Blatherard Osmo—He sounded like a helluva guy!
	3:39pm Cooh John: Great afternoon, sophisticated listeners. Thanks djsheilab, for filling our ears and nurturing our souls.
	3:39pm djsheilab: Hey Chop Scott!!!
	3:39pm Bri The Beatnik: @Loveless It’s going good! It’s partly cloudy but somewhat sunny, a little warm
	3:40pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp + Motis + davie B. + Cooh John!
	3:40pm Bri The Beatnik: @Loveless How’re things going by you?
	3:40pm Vanessa: hi! only passing thru today ...
	3:40pm djsheilab: Hey Vanessa + common!
	3:43pm Joe McG: I was listening to "Sylvie" in the car this morning on the way to work! :)
	3:44pm djsheilab: Sylvie is in the air! @Joe McG
	3:45pm big adam: Very good memories of this st entienne cd dubbed on a tape, stoned drives back and forth from Detroit, thinking of glamorous settings while looking at cornfields and dirt roads. Also thank you for still playing great music and spreading good vibes while also speaking to what’s going on and keeping it all relevant !!
	3:47pm loveless: @Brit The Beatnik Shhhhh, don't tell anyone but I'm throughly enjoying staying at home and will be disappointed when things go back to "normal".
	3:49pm Itzall Hear: Sevdaliza. Love this. Hello, Sheila B. Hope you're doing well. Thank you for being awesome.
	3:49pm Jim the Poet: Hey, Sheila! Loving the show
	3:50pm chris: digging this Savdaliza track something fierce. hi, Sheila and folks.
	3:50pm Joe B: I have a CD single of Sylvie, I think it is a different mix than the album.
	3:50pm djsheilab: Thanks for the love, Itzall Hear + Jim the Poet!
	3:51pm Stanley: Hi Sheila Just tuned in. Sounding good.
	3:51pm Motis: @loveless: I'm staying home waiting for civilization to collapse so I can loot the ruins.
	3:52pm βrian: Love is not a pie, darn it!
	3:52pm djsheilab: Hey chris + Stanley!
	3:53pm JuneBeesMatthews: Necessary high school through-back love love love Brandy! Shelia B thank you <3 <3 <3 seriously lifting me up with this set. Bless.
	3:54pm djsheilab: Yay! @JuneBeesMatthews
	3:56pm Motis: @djsheilab: I have a song for you! Can I email it?
	3:56pm Devin B.: Love this cover of Jolene!!
	3:56pm Bri The Beatnik: @Loveless You’re secret’s sage with me!
	3:56pm Jennica: This is already giving me chills. VERY nice.
	3:56pm Bri The Beatnik: *safe
	3:56pm chris: like a cold glass of water on a hot day, this track
	3:57pm Motis: @Devin B.: Yeah, this does have a great sound.
	3:58pm Jett: I love Candi Staton, big fan, but Nobody does "Jolene" better than Dolly.
	3:58pm Joe B: wow, great version!
	3:58pm Jennica: @Jett: I like this one better.
	3:59pm Jim the Poet: This Jolene from the song does not sound like a very nice person
	3:59pm Russt44: Unexpected great choice for Candi S.
	3:59pm IamBasil: I have to sa Candi's voice gives this song a very different and beautiful energy
	3:59pm pinto bean: Excellent!
	4:00pm Motis: @Jett: When it comes to covers that sound like the original record, I agree wholeheartedly. When someone makes a song their own in the cover version, like this, they become two different songs for me; they're both good.
	4:00pm chris: Dolly nails the lyrics, for sure. but love the music, esp the funky bass line in this recording. and Candi's delivery is still epic goodness.
	4:00pm Motis: Lets just all agree to always love and never diss Miss Dolly, even under torture.
	4:01pm Devin B.: This Kirsty MacColl song has been a minor FMU hit the last couple weeks.
	4:01pm Hughie Considine: I would be happy to hear "Caroline" on every WFMU show.
	4:01pm PJ: The other side of the Jolene story!
	4:01pm PJ: I still miss Kirsty
	4:01pm Hughie Considine: Spot on, @PJ
	4:01pm djsheilab: Devin B.—Really?!!! That is so wild! And random.
	4:02pm Joe B: re Candi's version of Jolene - wonder why it was not released, considering her success with Stand By Your Man
	4:02pm Hughie Considine: It's true. I know Pseu Braun has played it a few times in the past few weeks.
	4:02pm Joe R.: in agreement here with Devin and Hughie!
	4:02pm Devin B.: I think this is the third time I've heard it lately. Maybe on Michael Shelley's show and... somewhere else?
	4:02pm Gaylord Fields: I have noticed the same thing, and as such, I will happily jump on the "Caroline" bandwagon. <3 Kirsty
	4:03pm djsheilab: Everyone's on the man-stealing tip!
	4:03pm Devin B.: That's right, it was Pseu! @Gaylord, guess I know what I'm doing Sunday evening!
	4:03pm Motis: W00T BLONDIE is a band not a person
	4:04pm djsheilab: Gaylord Fields—Haha! Love it!
	4:04pm Gaylord Fields: @Sheila: Looks like Caroline is stealing this man, too!
	4:05pm Jett: As I said before, I'm a big fan of Candi Staton's she is brilliant, still think she can't touch Dolly on this one. Great to hear the amazing Kirsty MacColl. I get quite sad though, considering her tragic death. She was outstanding in every way. Love Blondie also! Still remember the olden days at CBGB.
	4:05pm Hughie Considine: I DJ'd at a party attended by late Senator Frank Lautenberg, who came over and asked what song was playing. It was "Heart of Glass." Though only 5' 4", Frank seemed gigantic.
	4:05pm Jim the Poet: Where have all the good men gone? They're busy dating two women
	4:06pm BH: at first glance, I misread that post and thought you attended a party DJed by Frank Lautenberg
	4:06pm Motis: @Hughie Considine: "Though only 5'4," Frank seemed gigantic." Was he 5'4" wide?
	4:06pm Gaylord Fields: @Devin B.: That way, you're guaranteed to enjoy at least 2:46 of my show.
	4:07pm Motis: djsheila: You give good girl group.
	4:08pm Hughie Considine: @Motis, He was only 5 feet wide but girls could not resist his stare...
	4:08pm Jett: The Whyte Boots record is brilliant, always liked Lori Burton a lot. Great songwriter and performer.
	4:09pm Hughie Considine: Seriously, @Motis, he had that short-guy charisma, like Prince, Bowie and Bono.
	4:09pm Bruce Francis Simpson: Annie Haslam's birthday this week...
	4:09pm BH: we got a rare Frank Lautenberg/Prince comp today, gonna be a good day
	4:10pm The Oscar: Is "Nightmare" the only hybrid teen-death-pop/murder ballad hybrid?
	4:10pm Hughie Considine: Laut's early stuff was pretty gnarly!
	4:10pm Motis: @Hughie Considine: He was only 5 feet wide but / girls could not resist his stare / his presence was a giant / and he had such shiny hair
	4:11pm The Oscar: (Err, pardon my redundancy)
	4:11pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers. Back in the listening game after a major Windows upgrade caused a buttload of havoc.
	4:11pm Motis: THE BALLAD OF FRANK LAUTENBERG
	4:13pm BH: Big Bank Hank from the Sugarhill Gang took his nickname from Lautenberg's nickname "Big Bank Frank"
	4:13pm Hughie Considine: A hearty shout for the late lamented Laut!
	4:14pm Jim the Poet: Thankfully I've never had two women fighting over me.
	4:14pm Lord Blatherard Osmo: Morris Levy of Roulette Records deserves his own bio-pic -- the character Hesh in The Sopranos was loosely based on Levy, and Fredric Dannen's Hit Men has a great chapter devoted solely to Levy -- here's a link to a book review by Robert Christgau https://www.robertchristgau.com/xg/bkrev/hitmen-nyt.php
	4:15pm Motis: Now playing: "Piano Damper Gekini Shime Saba" by Xiangu from Kiki HELP I HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW 2 READ
	4:15pm JosephB: Is this a song about pickled mackerel?
	4:16pm ?: For the first time downstairs with my wife, listening to SBB!
	4:16pm Motis: @Joseph B: All songs of every genre are about either sex, drugs, violence, peace, music itself, or pickled mackerel.
	4:16pm ZeeBee: Holy shit this is amazing and powerful!!! Yesssss
	4:17pm Rob Kopp: forgot to sign in downstairs
	4:17pm The Oscar: That Xiangu was amazing, and all the more because I think I caught the words "Mario and Luigi" in there somewhere.
	4:18pm JosephB: @motis it all boils down to those core themes, doesn't it?
	4:19pm JuneBeesMatthews: mmmYesss break out Oharaska
	4:19pm Motis: Oooo, this OHARASKA thing is nice and getting gooderer
	4:19pm Jett: It's Lyn Collins's birthday today. Someone mentioned birthdays, also Meredith Brooks.
	4:19pm JuneBeesMatthews: @Motis truth
	4:20pm djsheilab: Jett—Meredith Brooks' "Bitch" is my most un-favorite song of all time.
	4:20pm Motis: Meredith Brooks! I was friends with her producer back in the day
	4:21pm Jett: @djsheilab Yeah I hate that "Bitch" song also.
	4:21pm Motis: Geza X produced 'Bitch.' He was looking for an answer to Alanis Morissette.
	4:22pm Motis: I'm not fond of the song either, though
	4:23pm ncjay: it's not today, but Laura Hayden from Anteros had a birthday earlier in the week. And yesterday was Alice Jemima's
	4:23pm bigkafka: had completely forgotten about morcheeba! thanks for playing this sheila!
	4:24pm Patrick in Hoboken: Havent heard Morcheeba for a while. Brings me back to 1990s London!
	4:24pm P-90: This show found the perfect cruising altitude...
	4:24pm Motis: Yeah, Morcheeba is smoove
	4:24pm Michael 98145: @Rob K, we have to all sign in, and Ken takes our temperature
	4:24pm djsheilab: bigkafka—My pleasure! I had Morcheeba on the list for last week's show but ran out of time.
	4:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Sheila and Friday friends. Smooth sailing today. Love it!
	4:27pm Hughie Considine: That first Morcheeba record was such a stunner. Reminds me of a certain wonderful era of life...
	4:27pm Jett: @Motis and @djsheilab I always found it so obnoxious and clearly crafted to cash in on the success of "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette
	4:28pm brainiac: I shudder to think of just HOW Ken takes everyone's temperature.
	4:28pm Motis: @Jett: That's pretty much the case, yep.
	4:29pm djsheilab: brainiac—HAHAHA! Thank you for that!
	4:29pm djsheilab: Hey Hughie Considine + Ken from Hyde Park!
	4:29pm Itzall Hear: Heck yeah, Angelique Kidjo! Such a great cover.
	4:30pm Hughie Considine: Hey @djsheilab: thanks for the shout-out. I am glad to be here today. WFMU is my refuge.
	4:32pm Jett: ...and when @djsheilab is on, the ultimate refuge!
	4:34pm Jett: Her musical taste is impeccable, and so much in line with my taste.
	4:34pm P-90: Take THAT, @Kim Carnes!
	4:35pm βrian: A very cleaver segue! (hee)
	4:35pm Anna V: Great song!! Love Rimbaud! Love eyes!
	4:37pm Hughie Considine: Oh. maa. gaaa
	4:37pm Michele with One "L": Love Dum Dum Girls! Hi everyone. Sending love to all.
	4:38pm Hubig Pie: Ah....youth
	4:38pm Tome: Hiyas Sheila and all !<>! !<>! Cult yea yea !<>!
	4:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: All respect to Micah, but this is a cult I can get behind!
	4:39pm Hughie Considine: Perfect blend of macho and campy
	4:39pm djsheilab: Love right back atcha Michele with One 'L'!
	4:39pm Jett: I used to play this Cult record often back when it was current, haven't heard it in a long time. Great record. Thanks for reminding me of it.
	4:39pm Dave In Leicester: I am back, thrashing round, at the youth club disco
	4:39pm Carmichael: The bars in California opened today. Kinda scared to go though ...
	4:39pm Itzall Hear: The Cult? "Campy"? Uh, no. Awesome, still are!
	4:40pm Jett: Much love also to Michele with one L, cool people!
	4:40pm Hughie Considine: sounds like a false binary @itzall
	4:40pm Stanley: Man, this is good surprised
	4:41pm Joe B: their live show didn't add much to the records, you didn't miss much IMO
	4:41pm Itzall Hear: Mr. Hughie, you are speaking in words SO over my head today. I don't math well, I'm afraid.
	4:41pm Tome: and !,.!Rain!<>! yes !<>!
	4:42pm Stanley: @Dave in Leicester: have you got any cider?
	4:42pm Hughie Considine: @itzall campy = awesome
	4:44pm βrian: I, for one, love camping!
	4:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Marcel's River Cult band being another cult I dig.
	4:45pm Itzall Hear: Dear Hughie, remember that old painter, Picasso? I believe one of his most oft-quoted phrases was along the lines of "Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of AWESOME!" or maybe I paraphrased that last part but still.
	4:45pm Hughie Considine: I feel like you're trying to school me because I used the word campy and you didn't like it, @Itzall. Let's just enjoy this great music.
	4:46pm Rob Kopp: @Michael: sorry, we're listening, I'm not behind the PC. Our temperature is way too high :-) This week Peggy and I heard we're going to move to this fabulous house in december www.funda.nl...
	4:46pm ifeelfatnsassy: Lol. I just pulled up Lemon Pepper and let it play over this... sounded freaking great.
	4:46pm joem: Who's the Lemon Pepper song by? I missed the artist but I want to check it out.
	4:46pm djsheilab: joem—Cupcakke!
	4:46pm Dave Miss: I don’t think I want any lemon pepper on my Johnson. LOL
	4:46pm ifeelfatnsassy: Cupcakke
	4:46pm P-90: Nice hint of Carole King on this Celeste
	4:47pm joem: thanks!
	4:47pm People Like Us: beeeaaaauuutiful song
	4:48pm loveless: @Rob Kopp That place is a stunner! Congratulations.
	4:48pm P-90: Hi Vicki!
	4:49pm djsheilab: People Like Us—Ahhhh right!!?!! Just so moving + heartfelt.
	4:49pm People Like Us: hello
	4:49pm People Like Us: totally changed my mood for the better
	4:49pm Jim the Poet: I did listen to the Lemon Pepper and it is great but also dirty
	4:49pm djsheilab: Jim the Poet—FILTHY!
	4:50pm Kevin-san: Wow, that was amazing, am doing other stuff but had to come back and clicky-star Celeste
	4:50pm Jim the Poet: She mentioned some things I'm going to have to look up when I'm not at work
	4:50pm People Like Us: same
	4:50pm Itzall Hear: Dear Hughie, I know these boards/text can be without subtlety or tone and please accept my word that I was kidding, just riffing on your comment but not poking or trying to school. Pals?
	4:51pm Itzall Hear: But I DID learn what a "false binary" is, thanks!
	4:52pm Rob Kopp: @loveless: We fell in love with it immediately
	4:53pm βrian: A binary false: 0
	4:54pm Hughie Considine: Yes, of course, @Itz. Tone is the hardest thing to detect. I only recently learned about false binaries and was psyched to have actually found one.
	4:58pm bigkafka: oh wow, bettye
	4:59pm Joe B: can't wait for this album
	5:02pm Jett: re:Cupcakke -Lemon Pepper @djsheilab And I thought you were this innocent shy, church going young lady. ❤️
	5:05pm Michael 98145: another amazing show ♥
	5:05pm βrian: But what is Nunu??
	5:06pm djsheilab: Thank you Michael 98145!
	5:15pm Itzall Hear: Trouble! You get down from there THIS INSTANT!
	5:16pm Jim the Poet: Love Sister Rosetta
	5:19pm ignatatus666: Horrible analogy
	5:20pm Miss Georgia Peach: Continue your education - Confederate statues were NOT allowed after the war. They came later
	5:21pm ignatatus666: ? Comparing the confederate states to Nazi Germany means you need to study history. The confederate states had zero to do with race.
	5:21pm Devin B.: Yeah I think many of those statues were put up during Jim Crow rather than right after the war.
	5:21pm JJ NY-SC: Those statues were not there during the or after the Civil War here either. It wasn't until the Jim Crow era that they went up.
	5:21pm djsheilab: Well, whenever they came, they are still problematic and I am learning!
	5:21pm JJ NY-SC: You beat me to it, Devin.
	5:21pm battleaxe: Details, details...TAKE THEM DOWN!
	5:23pm P-90: It IS George’s “I Dig Love”. It took a while to know for sure...
	5:23pm brainiac: "I Dig Love" - George Harrison at his funkiest. Asha Puthli - at her most suggestive?
	5:23pm djsheilab: Why does it matter when they went up anyway? I was not talking about timing.
	5:23pm People Like Us: Be nice, people.
	5:25pm Devin B.: Sorry @Sheila, I wasn't trying to be argumentative. I actually think it's that much more horrifying that people a generation or two later decided those people were worth venerating.
	5:25pm JJ NY-SC: You keep learning, Sheila B. I have the utmost respect for you.
	5:26pm djsheilab: Devin B—It's all good, and I appreciate being told what actually happened. Just not in a dismissive manner, especially when I said I am learning.
	5:28pm Miss Georgia Peach: You're doing great - keep it up! Your openness is appreciated
	5:28pm Devin B.: You're the best Sheila! I always appreciate your commentary and especially these last few weeks.
	5:31pm Hubig Pie: Ma'a Salaama. Off to ride me bicycle inna woods
	5:34pm JosephB: It's even crazier to think about those statues and the confederate flag when you consider that the civil war was a very brief moment in American history
	5:36pm JLitt: I’m way on board with what you’re saying! Thanks for the open heart!
	5:36pm Max: RIGHT ON! Thank you for sharing SHeila
	5:36pm Greg from ZONE 5: Sheila B! Just letting you know that Mom enjoyed the Blondie before.
	5:37pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: You are definitely the best, Sheila B. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us as we all process these moments that our country is going through.
	5:38pm βrian: That big-ass asteroid was was a very brief moment, too.
	5:38pm mcdnyc: Keep sharing Sheila!
	5:39pm Stanley: Sheila, we love you. Keep doing what you do.
	5:39pm sufferwords: Gotta commend FMU - ya’all had been pretty editorial free in the past- glad this has changed to reflect the moment - feel emboldened to be honest it’s our only way forward - peace... but justice for all first
	5:40pm Jeffrey Davison: Stick to your guns, Sheila. Even if the Civil War wasn't in part about slavery, and it sure seems that this was a key issue, the Confederate States were about destroying the country as it then existed, meaning secession. Doesn't seem that this should be celebrated.
	5:40pm JJ NY-SC: What are the details of the event you were talking about on July 7th? The one with nova scott james?
	5:40pm djsheilab: JJ NY-SC: Here you go: www.eventbrite.com...
	5:41pm JJ NY-SC: Thanks!
	5:42pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: The confederate statue in the center of my town finally came down less than two weeks ago. As Faulkner said, the past isn't even past.
	5:43pm P-90: Those statues went up in the generations after that war as part of a deliberate, concerted effort on many fronts, a propaganda war of its own. The purpose of this “post-Civill War war” was to rewrite the history of what had happened. For starters: that war was NEVER referred to, while it was happening or in the years immediately after., as the “Civil War.” It was always called “The War of Rebellion.” It wasn’t a “civil” war fought over “misunderstandings” among citizens of one nation. The Confederate states broke their compact with the USA and LEFT our country to form their own, then made war on the US, intending to destroy it and impose their own new government on it. To perpetuate an economy built on race-based human slavery.
	5:43pm passiflora: <3
	5:43pm Russt44: Arlo Parks also simple and cool. Great atmosphere.
	5:44pm Devin B.: Well said P-90!
	5:44pm loveless: Well, it does matter when the statues were put up. The statues reinforced the idea that African-Americans better know "in their place" in Jim Crow society. Last week, Fredericksburg removed a slave auction block from a downtown corner. Imagine walking by that everyday on your way to work.
	5:45pm djsheilab: Yeah thanks P-90! And to all of you chiming in.
	5:45pm Russt44: Ahhh....Natalia@
	5:45pm Stanley: Natalia Lafourcade - unmistakable. Thanks so much
	5:45pm djsheilab: Russt44—So soothing.
	5:47pm Travisano66: I totally support you in admitting you don't know it all. I think many in the general public expect that anyone on TV or the radio should know everything, or pretend they do. You are a person just like all of us. And your admission makes it easier for all of us to admit that we don't know it all, and to open up to learning.
	5:48pm JJ NY-SC: It's all part of the learning we all need to do. This is a good time for that to take place.
	5:48pm Russt44: I totally agree. Symbols of the Confederacy have no place in our society just like the outlawed Nazi symbols in Germany.
	5:49pm P-90: It wasn’t just statues and monuments. There were textbooks and history books printed up and distributed for free to schools and libraries across the South, that rewrote the story of the war. And the central revisionist lie that generations of school kids were indoctrinated with was that that wasn’t really fought over slavery. But: hells yes it was!
	5:49pm ZeeBee: Oooo love is so important
	5:50pm brainiac: Oh yes we can can!
	5:50pm Joe B: RIP Bonnie (though June was my childhood crush, RIP also)
	5:51pm JosephB: @Brian, sure, but my point is that this apparent need by some Americans to continually celebrate the confederacy is not rooted in much of an actual legacy of statehood. Rather, as others have already pointed out, it is a means of enforcing/celebrating white supremacy.
	5:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ken From Hyde Park: I admit I don't know much about Nineteenth, and will be researching that for next week. Thanks, Sheila. Have a good week!
	5:52pm JosephB: RIP Bonnie
	5:52pm βrian: True dat, @JosephB.
	5:52pm dale: hello. glad the pointers got some love here.
	5:53pm Rob Kopp: Thanks Sheila. I will listen tomorrow again, because the conversation with my wife had the upperhand over the music.
	5:53pm Smurph: Love this track.
	5:54pm Michael 98145: thank you again, DJ Sheila peace, all
	5:54pm Russt44: Allen Toussaint!
	5:54pm dale: rob - i always give my wife a glowering stare when i want to hear the music instead of her. i'm going to hell, no doubt.
	5:55pm Rob Kopp: Thanks dale!
	5:55pm Dan from Delco: This song is killer
	5:55pm P-90: Our President(?) and others who defend these monuments as “a part of our history, however dark or troubled, that should be preserved” are missing the essential point that the narrative these monuments tell is NOT really a part of our history, it’s a deliberate deception that covers up big chunks of our history. And that narrative was used to perpetuate racism and resentments that caused generations of suffering, and intentionally kept open wounds that could have and should have been allowed to heal.
	5:56pm brainiac: Sheila, so long and thanks for another great show! Let's all stay as positive as we can can.
	5:56pm Yes: Thank you !!
	5:56pm ncjay: another lovely show Sheila - thanks and see you next week!
	5:56pm Giacomo Giordano: luv me some pointer sisters!
	5:57pm Dave Miss: The occasional Ray
	5:58pm βrian: Flint-born Betty.
	5:58pm Carmichael: Just don't test positive. @brainiac, Hilltop is open.
	5:58pm ignatatus666: P-90 Good try So far from the truth We have monuments of Stalin as well. Your lies fit your narrative
	5:58pm Russt44: Thanks for playing Ray and Betty, especially this song. We forget how great this album is.
	5:59pm brainiac: @Carm: we'll be together again, just not indoors.
	5:59pm chris: thanks, Sheila! wonderfulness today, as always.
	5:59pm radioronan: Great show Sheila. We all need to keep listening (especially to WFMU) and learning..Be well. Be Kind. Be heard.
	6:00pm P-90: Many thanks as always, Sheila!
	6:00pm ncjay: well, not next week, then. have a great week off Sheila!
	6:00pm JosephB: So long Sheila and listeners! Thanks for the tunes and conversation.
	6:00pm Devin B.: Thank you as always! Be well, Sheila!
	6:01pm djsheilab: Thank you lovely listeners! See you in a couple of weeks. Xoxoxo
	6:22pm JLitt: You two are hilarious!

	3:20pm Yes: BARBRA
	3:21pm mattV: Bonjour from Paris, Sheila. Super stressed out with my PhD defense in just a few days, but you're helping me relax!
	3:22pm Bri The Beatnik: Lol Motis reminds me of their “The show” music video
	3:22pm Briguyhere: Out of the gates swinging ! Love it!
	3:22pm loveless: Finally! A friend called me right before the show started and says, "you sound distracted". Of course, I was! I was trying to listen my show. That phone call was much too long! Hello everyone.
	3:22pm Bri The Beatnik: Hey Loveless!
	3:23pm Bri The Beatnik: And Bonjour Matt!
	3:23pm Motis: THE EXCITERS special coming up on Sophisticated Boom Boom in July!
	3:23pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, Bri!
	3:23pm Joe B: very cool - just reading about the exciters as being part of a key moment in Beatles history that I had not realized they were a part of in Jacksonville Florida
	3:24pm Chop Scott: Good Afternoon Sheila B.!!
	3:24pm djsheilab: Hey loveless, mattV, diciassette, big adam, + JsteveoB!
	3:24pm Bri The Beatnik: Hey Pumpy! What’s up?
	3:25pm davie B: i wanna go to cape verde
	3:25pm Briguyhere: I want to go ANYWHERE
	3:26pm Bri The Beatnik: Me too Briguy!
	3:26pm Michael 98145: i hear that
	3:27pm Jennica: @mattV: sending well-wishing your way! Go get 'em!
	3:27pm Rob Kopp: Hello Sheila, hello Friday friends. Sorry I'm late, but there was a small crisis in our record club :-(
	3:27pm BH: I kinda wonder if "Cabo Verde" will catch on or if we'll keep saying "Cape Verde"
	3:27pm Bri The Beatnik: On no Rob! :(
	3:27pm Motis: Not to be confused with Santiago Island, Galapagos
	3:28pm Rob Kopp: Enough about that. It's SBB time!
	3:29pm Jett: Don't forget about the fact that the Rooney's son (of The Exciters) is an important music executive nowadays.
	3:30pm Mr. Pumpy: @Bri...livin'. You know the drill. Haven't been on much lately. How are you?
	3:30pm Bri The Beatnik: @Mr. Pumpy I’m good! And you?
	3:31pm Motis: I think today's hep and fab recording / producing techniques and Interwebz distribution make it easy to lose the really startling talent and sheer vocal power of singers from back when, like Barbra Streisand. If you could hear her on a big stage all alone, no mic, just pushing air, she was pitch-perfect and could PROJECT.
	3:31pm Lord Blatherard Osmo: Morris Levy claimed writer's credit on many of the songs he released on Roulette -- most significantly Why Do Fools Fall in Love? by Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers
	3:31pm P-90: “All Over the Place” sounds like a great direction for the show
	3:33pm Mr. Pumpy: good!
	3:33pm loveless: @Bri The Beatnik How's it going by you?
	3:35pm common: good stuff sheila! happy friday all. i hope.
	3:37pm djsheilab: A link to the July 7th workshop "Embodied Justice: How Can Non-Black Allies Effect Ant-Racist Change?" www.eventbrite.com...
	3:38pm djsheilab: Lord Blatherard Osmo—He sounded like a helluva guy!
	3:39pm Cooh John: Great afternoon, sophisticated listeners. Thanks djsheilab, for filling our ears and nurturing our souls.
	3:39pm djsheilab: Hey Chop Scott!!!
	3:39pm Bri The Beatnik: @Loveless It’s going good! It’s partly cloudy but somewhat sunny, a little warm
	3:40pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp + Motis + davie B. + Cooh John!
	3:40pm Bri The Beatnik: @Loveless How’re things going by you?
	3:40pm Vanessa: hi! only passing thru today ...
	3:40pm djsheilab: Hey Vanessa + common!
	3:43pm Joe McG: I was listening to "Sylvie" in the car this morning on the way to work! :)
	3:44pm djsheilab: Sylvie is in the air! @Joe McG
	3:45pm big adam: Very good memories of this st entienne cd dubbed on a tape, stoned drives back and forth from Detroit, thinking of glamorous settings while looking at cornfields and dirt roads. Also thank you for still playing great music and spreading good vibes while also speaking to what’s going on and keeping it all relevant !!
	3:47pm loveless: @Brit The Beatnik Shhhhh, don't tell anyone but I'm throughly enjoying staying at home and will be disappointed when things go back to "normal".
	3:49pm Itzall Hear: Sevdaliza. Love this. Hello, Sheila B. Hope you're doing well. Thank you for being awesome.
	3:49pm Jim the Poet: Hey, Sheila! Loving the show
	3:50pm chris: digging this Savdaliza track something fierce. hi, Sheila and folks.
	3:50pm Joe B: I have a CD single of Sylvie, I think it is a different mix than the album.
	3:50pm djsheilab: Thanks for the love, Itzall Hear + Jim the Poet!
	3:51pm Stanley: Hi Sheila Just tuned in. Sounding good.
	3:51pm Motis: @loveless: I'm staying home waiting for civilization to collapse so I can loot the ruins.
	3:52pm βrian: Love is not a pie, darn it!
	3:52pm djsheilab: Hey chris + Stanley!
	3:53pm JuneBeesMatthews: Necessary high school through-back love love love Brandy! Shelia B thank you <3 <3 <3 seriously lifting me up with this set. Bless.
	3:54pm djsheilab: Yay! @JuneBeesMatthews
	3:56pm Motis: @djsheilab: I have a song for you! Can I email it?
	3:56pm Devin B.: Love this cover of Jolene!!
	3:56pm Bri The Beatnik: @Loveless You’re secret’s sage with me!
	3:56pm Jennica: This is already giving me chills. VERY nice.
	3:56pm Bri The Beatnik: *safe
	3:56pm chris: like a cold glass of water on a hot day, this track
	3:57pm Motis: @Devin B.: Yeah, this does have a great sound.
	3:58pm Jett: I love Candi Staton, big fan, but Nobody does "Jolene" better than Dolly.
	3:58pm Joe B: wow, great version!
	3:58pm Jennica: @Jett: I like this one better.
	3:59pm Jim the Poet: This Jolene from the song does not sound like a very nice person
	3:59pm Russt44: Unexpected great choice for Candi S.
	3:59pm IamBasil: I have to sa Candi's voice gives this song a very different and beautiful energy
	3:59pm pinto bean: Excellent!
	4:00pm Motis: @Jett: When it comes to covers that sound like the original record, I agree wholeheartedly. When someone makes a song their own in the cover version, like this, they become two different songs for me; they're both good.
	4:00pm chris: Dolly nails the lyrics, for sure. but love the music, esp the funky bass line in this recording. and Candi's delivery is still epic goodness.
	4:00pm Motis: Lets just all agree to always love and never diss Miss Dolly, even under torture.
	4:01pm Devin B.: This Kirsty MacColl song has been a minor FMU hit the last couple weeks.
	4:01pm Hughie Considine: I would be happy to hear "Caroline" on every WFMU show.
	4:01pm PJ: The other side of the Jolene story!
	4:01pm PJ: I still miss Kirsty
	4:01pm Hughie Considine: Spot on, @PJ
	4:01pm djsheilab: Devin B.—Really?!!! That is so wild! And random.
	4:02pm Joe B: re Candi's version of Jolene - wonder why it was not released, considering her success with Stand By Your Man
	4:02pm Hughie Considine: It's true. I know Pseu Braun has played it a few times in the past few weeks.
	4:02pm Joe R.: in agreement here with Devin and Hughie!
	4:02pm Devin B.: I think this is the third time I've heard it lately. Maybe on Michael Shelley's show and... somewhere else?
	4:02pm Gaylord Fields: I have noticed the same thing, and as such, I will happily jump on the "Caroline" bandwagon. <3 Kirsty
	4:03pm djsheilab: Everyone's on the man-stealing tip!
	4:03pm Devin B.: That's right, it was Pseu! @Gaylord, guess I know what I'm doing Sunday evening!
	4:03pm Motis: W00T BLONDIE is a band not a person
	4:04pm djsheilab: Gaylord Fields—Haha! Love it!
	4:04pm Gaylord Fields: @Sheila: Looks like Caroline is stealing this man, too!
	4:05pm Jett: As I said before, I'm a big fan of Candi Staton's she is brilliant, still think she can't touch Dolly on this one. Great to hear the amazing Kirsty MacColl. I get quite sad though, considering her tragic death. She was outstanding in every way. Love Blondie also! Still remember the olden days at CBGB.
	4:05pm Hughie Considine: I DJ'd at a party attended by late Senator Frank Lautenberg, who came over and asked what song was playing. It was "Heart of Glass." Though only 5' 4", Frank seemed gigantic.
	4:05pm Jim the Poet: Where have all the good men gone? They're busy dating two women
	4:06pm BH: at first glance, I misread that post and thought you attended a party DJed by Frank Lautenberg
	4:06pm Motis: @Hughie Considine: "Though only 5'4," Frank seemed gigantic." Was he 5'4" wide?
	4:06pm Gaylord Fields: @Devin B.: That way, you're guaranteed to enjoy at least 2:46 of my show.
	4:07pm Motis: djsheila: You give good girl group.
	4:08pm Hughie Considine: @Motis, He was only 5 feet wide but girls could not resist his stare...
	4:08pm Jett: The Whyte Boots record is brilliant, always liked Lori Burton a lot. Great songwriter and performer.
	4:09pm Hughie Considine: Seriously, @Motis, he had that short-guy charisma, like Prince, Bowie and Bono.
	4:09pm Bruce Francis Simpson: Annie Haslam's birthday this week...
	4:09pm BH: we got a rare Frank Lautenberg/Prince comp today, gonna be a good day
	4:10pm The Oscar: Is "Nightmare" the only hybrid teen-death-pop/murder ballad hybrid?
	4:10pm Hughie Considine: Laut's early stuff was pretty gnarly!
	4:10pm Motis: @Hughie Considine: He was only 5 feet wide but / girls could not resist his stare / his presence was a giant / and he had such shiny hair
	4:11pm The Oscar: (Err, pardon my redundancy)
	4:11pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers. Back in the listening game after a major Windows upgrade caused a buttload of havoc.
	4:11pm Motis: THE BALLAD OF FRANK LAUTENBERG
	4:13pm BH: Big Bank Hank from the Sugarhill Gang took his nickname from Lautenberg's nickname "Big Bank Frank"
	4:13pm Hughie Considine: A hearty shout for the late lamented Laut!
	4:14pm Jim the Poet: Thankfully I've never had two women fighting over me.
	4:14pm Lord Blatherard Osmo: Morris Levy of Roulette Records deserves his own bio-pic -- the character Hesh in The Sopranos was loosely based on Levy, and Fredric Dannen's Hit Men has a great chapter devoted solely to Levy -- here's a link to a book review by Robert Christgau https://www.robertchristgau.com/xg/bkrev/hitmen-nyt.php
	4:15pm Motis: Now playing: "Piano Damper Gekini Shime Saba" by Xiangu from Kiki HELP I HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW 2 READ
	4:15pm JosephB: Is this a song about pickled mackerel?
	4:16pm ?: For the first time downstairs with my wife, listening to SBB!
	4:16pm Motis: @Joseph B: All songs of every genre are about either sex, drugs, violence, peace, music itself, or pickled mackerel.
	4:16pm ZeeBee: Holy shit this is amazing and powerful!!! Yesssss
	4:17pm Rob Kopp: forgot to sign in downstairs
	4:17pm The Oscar: That Xiangu was amazing, and all the more because I think I caught the words "Mario and Luigi" in there somewhere.
	4:18pm JosephB: @motis it all boils down to those core themes, doesn't it?
	4:19pm JuneBeesMatthews: mmmYesss break out Oharaska
	4:19pm Motis: Oooo, this OHARASKA thing is nice and getting gooderer
	4:19pm Jett: It's Lyn Collins's birthday today. Someone mentioned birthdays, also Meredith Brooks.
	4:19pm JuneBeesMatthews: @Motis truth
	4:20pm djsheilab: Jett—Meredith Brooks' "Bitch" is my most un-favorite song of all time.
	4:20pm Motis: Meredith Brooks! I was friends with her producer back in the day
	4:21pm Jett: @djsheilab Yeah I hate that "Bitch" song also.
	4:21pm Motis: Geza X produced 'Bitch.' He was looking for an answer to Alanis Morissette.
	4:22pm Motis: I'm not fond of the song either, though
	4:23pm ncjay: it's not today, but Laura Hayden from Anteros had a birthday earlier in the week. And yesterday was Alice Jemima's
	4:23pm bigkafka: had completely forgotten about morcheeba! thanks for playing this sheila!
	4:24pm Patrick in Hoboken: Havent heard Morcheeba for a while. Brings me back to 1990s London!
	4:24pm P-90: This show found the perfect cruising altitude...
	4:24pm Motis: Yeah, Morcheeba is smoove
	4:24pm Michael 98145: @Rob K, we have to all sign in, and Ken takes our temperature
	4:24pm djsheilab: bigkafka—My pleasure! I had Morcheeba on the list for last week's show but ran out of time.
	4:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Sheila and Friday friends. Smooth sailing today. Love it!
	4:27pm Hughie Considine: That first Morcheeba record was such a stunner. Reminds me of a certain wonderful era of life...
	4:27pm Jett: @Motis and @djsheilab I always found it so obnoxious and clearly crafted to cash in on the success of "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette
	4:28pm brainiac: I shudder to think of just HOW Ken takes everyone's temperature.
	4:28pm Motis: @Jett: That's pretty much the case, yep.
	4:29pm djsheilab: brainiac—HAHAHA! Thank you for that!
	4:29pm djsheilab: Hey Hughie Considine + Ken from Hyde Park!
	4:29pm Itzall Hear: Heck yeah, Angelique Kidjo! Such a great cover.
	4:30pm Hughie Considine: Hey @djsheilab: thanks for the shout-out. I am glad to be here today. WFMU is my refuge.
	4:32pm Jett: ...and when @djsheilab is on, the ultimate refuge!
	4:34pm Jett: Her musical taste is impeccable, and so much in line with my taste.
	4:34pm P-90: Take THAT, @Kim Carnes!
	4:35pm βrian: A very cleaver segue! (hee)
	4:35pm Anna V: Great song!! Love Rimbaud! Love eyes!
	4:37pm Hughie Considine: Oh. maa. gaaa
	4:37pm Michele with One "L": Love Dum Dum Girls! Hi everyone. Sending love to all.
	4:38pm Hubig Pie: Ah....youth
	4:38pm Tome: Hiyas Sheila and all !<>! !<>! Cult yea yea !<>!
	4:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: All respect to Micah, but this is a cult I can get behind!
	4:39pm Hughie Considine: Perfect blend of macho and campy
	4:39pm djsheilab: Love right back atcha Michele with One 'L'!
	4:39pm Jett: I used to play this Cult record often back when it was current, haven't heard it in a long time. Great record. Thanks for reminding me of it.
	4:39pm Dave In Leicester: I am back, thrashing round, at the youth club disco
	4:39pm Carmichael: The bars in California opened today. Kinda scared to go though ...
	4:39pm Itzall Hear: The Cult? "Campy"? Uh, no. Awesome, still are!
	4:40pm Jett: Much love also to Michele with one L, cool people!
	4:40pm Hughie Considine: sounds like a false binary @itzall
	4:40pm Stanley: Man, this is good surprised
	4:41pm Joe B: their live show didn't add much to the records, you didn't miss much IMO
	4:41pm Itzall Hear: Mr. Hughie, you are speaking in words SO over my head today. I don't math well, I'm afraid.
	4:41pm Tome: and !,.!Rain!<>! yes !<>!
	4:42pm Stanley: @Dave in Leicester: have you got any cider?
	4:42pm Hughie Considine: @itzall campy = awesome
	4:44pm βrian: I, for one, love camping!
	4:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Marcel's River Cult band being another cult I dig.
	4:45pm Itzall Hear: Dear Hughie, remember that old painter, Picasso? I believe one of his most oft-quoted phrases was along the lines of "Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of AWESOME!" or maybe I paraphrased that last part but still.
	4:45pm Hughie Considine: I feel like you're trying to school me because I used the word campy and you didn't like it, @Itzall. Let's just enjoy this great music.
	4:46pm Rob Kopp: @Michael: sorry, we're listening, I'm not behind the PC. Our temperature is way too high :-) This week Peggy and I heard we're going to move to this fabulous house in december www.funda.nl...
	4:46pm ifeelfatnsassy: Lol. I just pulled up Lemon Pepper and let it play over this... sounded freaking great.
	4:46pm joem: Who's the Lemon Pepper song by? I missed the artist but I want to check it out.
	4:46pm djsheilab: joem—Cupcakke!
	4:46pm Dave Miss: I don’t think I want any lemon pepper on my Johnson. LOL
	4:46pm ifeelfatnsassy: Cupcakke
	4:46pm P-90: Nice hint of Carole King on this Celeste
	4:47pm joem: thanks!
	4:47pm People Like Us: beeeaaaauuutiful song
	4:48pm loveless: @Rob Kopp That place is a stunner! Congratulations.
	4:48pm P-90: Hi Vicki!
	4:49pm djsheilab: People Like Us—Ahhhh right!!?!! Just so moving + heartfelt.
	4:49pm People Like Us: hello
	4:49pm People Like Us: totally changed my mood for the better
	4:49pm Jim the Poet: I did listen to the Lemon Pepper and it is great but also dirty
	4:49pm djsheilab: Jim the Poet—FILTHY!
	4:50pm Kevin-san: Wow, that was amazing, am doing other stuff but had to come back and clicky-star Celeste
	4:50pm Jim the Poet: She mentioned some things I'm going to have to look up when I'm not at work
	4:50pm People Like Us: same
	4:50pm Itzall Hear: Dear Hughie, I know these boards/text can be without subtlety or tone and please accept my word that I was kidding, just riffing on your comment but not poking or trying to school. Pals?
	4:51pm Itzall Hear: But I DID learn what a "false binary" is, thanks!
	4:52pm Rob Kopp: @loveless: We fell in love with it immediately
	4:53pm βrian: A binary false: 0
	4:54pm Hughie Considine: Yes, of course, @Itz. Tone is the hardest thing to detect. I only recently learned about false binaries and was psyched to have actually found one.
	4:58pm bigkafka: oh wow, bettye
	4:59pm Joe B: can't wait for this album
	5:02pm Jett: re:Cupcakke -Lemon Pepper @djsheilab And I thought you were this innocent shy, church going young lady. ❤️
	5:05pm Michael 98145: another amazing show ♥
	5:05pm βrian: But what is Nunu??
	5:06pm djsheilab: Thank you Michael 98145!
	5:15pm Itzall Hear: Trouble! You get down from there THIS INSTANT!
	5:16pm Jim the Poet: Love Sister Rosetta
	5:19pm ignatatus666: Horrible analogy
	5:20pm Miss Georgia Peach: Continue your education - Confederate statues were NOT allowed after the war. They came later
	5:21pm ignatatus666: ? Comparing the confederate states to Nazi Germany means you need to study history. The confederate states had zero to do with race.
	5:21pm Devin B.: Yeah I think many of those statues were put up during Jim Crow rather than right after the war.
	5:21pm JJ NY-SC: Those statues were not there during the or after the Civil War here either. It wasn't until the Jim Crow era that they went up.
	5:21pm djsheilab: Well, whenever they came, they are still problematic and I am learning!
	5:21pm JJ NY-SC: You beat me to it, Devin.
	5:21pm battleaxe: Details, details...TAKE THEM DOWN!
	5:23pm P-90: It IS George’s “I Dig Love”. It took a while to know for sure...
	5:23pm brainiac: "I Dig Love" - George Harrison at his funkiest. Asha Puthli - at her most suggestive?
	5:23pm djsheilab: Why does it matter when they went up anyway? I was not talking about timing.
	5:23pm People Like Us: Be nice, people.
	5:25pm Devin B.: Sorry @Sheila, I wasn't trying to be argumentative. I actually think it's that much more horrifying that people a generation or two later decided those people were worth venerating.
	5:25pm JJ NY-SC: You keep learning, Sheila B. I have the utmost respect for you.
	5:26pm djsheilab: Devin B—It's all good, and I appreciate being told what actually happened. Just not in a dismissive manner, especially when I said I am learning.
	5:28pm Miss Georgia Peach: You're doing great - keep it up! Your openness is appreciated
	5:28pm Devin B.: You're the best Sheila! I always appreciate your commentary and especially these last few weeks.
	5:31pm Hubig Pie: Ma'a Salaama. Off to ride me bicycle inna woods
	5:34pm JosephB: It's even crazier to think about those statues and the confederate flag when you consider that the civil war was a very brief moment in American history
	5:36pm JLitt: I’m way on board with what you’re saying! Thanks for the open heart!
	5:36pm Max: RIGHT ON! Thank you for sharing SHeila
	5:36pm Greg from ZONE 5: Sheila B! Just letting you know that Mom enjoyed the Blondie before.
	5:37pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: You are definitely the best, Sheila B. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us as we all process these moments that our country is going through.
	5:38pm βrian: That big-ass asteroid was was a very brief moment, too.
	5:38pm mcdnyc: Keep sharing Sheila!
	5:39pm Stanley: Sheila, we love you. Keep doing what you do.
	5:39pm sufferwords: Gotta commend FMU - ya’all had been pretty editorial free in the past- glad this has changed to reflect the moment - feel emboldened to be honest it’s our only way forward - peace... but justice for all first
	5:40pm Jeffrey Davison: Stick to your guns, Sheila. Even if the Civil War wasn't in part about slavery, and it sure seems that this was a key issue, the Confederate States were about destroying the country as it then existed, meaning secession. Doesn't seem that this should be celebrated.
	5:40pm JJ NY-SC: What are the details of the event you were talking about on July 7th? The one with nova scott james?
	5:40pm djsheilab: JJ NY-SC: Here you go: www.eventbrite.com...
	5:41pm JJ NY-SC: Thanks!
	5:42pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: The confederate statue in the center of my town finally came down less than two weeks ago. As Faulkner said, the past isn't even past.
	5:43pm P-90: Those statues went up in the generations after that war as part of a deliberate, concerted effort on many fronts, a propaganda war of its own. The purpose of this “post-Civill War war” was to rewrite the history of what had happened. For starters: that war was NEVER referred to, while it was happening or in the years immediately after., as the “Civil War.” It was always called “The War of Rebellion.” It wasn’t a “civil” war fought over “misunderstandings” among citizens of one nation. The Confederate states broke their compact with the USA and LEFT our country to form their own, then made war on the US, intending to destroy it and impose their own new government on it. To perpetuate an economy built on race-based human slavery.
	5:43pm passiflora: <3
	5:43pm Russt44: Arlo Parks also simple and cool. Great atmosphere.
	5:44pm Devin B.: Well said P-90!
	5:44pm loveless: Well, it does matter when the statues were put up. The statues reinforced the idea that African-Americans better know "in their place" in Jim Crow society. Last week, Fredericksburg removed a slave auction block from a downtown corner. Imagine walking by that everyday on your way to work.
	5:45pm djsheilab: Yeah thanks P-90! And to all of you chiming in.
	5:45pm Russt44: Ahhh....Natalia@
	5:45pm Stanley: Natalia Lafourcade - unmistakable. Thanks so much
	5:45pm djsheilab: Russt44—So soothing.
	5:47pm Travisano66: I totally support you in admitting you don't know it all. I think many in the general public expect that anyone on TV or the radio should know everything, or pretend they do. You are a person just like all of us. And your admission makes it easier for all of us to admit that we don't know it all, and to open up to learning.
	5:48pm JJ NY-SC: It's all part of the learning we all need to do. This is a good time for that to take place.
	5:48pm Russt44: I totally agree. Symbols of the Confederacy have no place in our society just like the outlawed Nazi symbols in Germany.
	5:49pm P-90: It wasn’t just statues and monuments. There were textbooks and history books printed up and distributed for free to schools and libraries across the South, that rewrote the story of the war. And the central revisionist lie that generations of school kids were indoctrinated with was that that wasn’t really fought over slavery. But: hells yes it was!
	5:49pm ZeeBee: Oooo love is so important
	5:50pm brainiac: Oh yes we can can!
	5:50pm Joe B: RIP Bonnie (though June was my childhood crush, RIP also)
	5:51pm JosephB: @Brian, sure, but my point is that this apparent need by some Americans to continually celebrate the confederacy is not rooted in much of an actual legacy of statehood. Rather, as others have already pointed out, it is a means of enforcing/celebrating white supremacy.
	5:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ken From Hyde Park: I admit I don't know much about Nineteenth, and will be researching that for next week. Thanks, Sheila. Have a good week!
	5:52pm JosephB: RIP Bonnie
	5:52pm βrian: True dat, @JosephB.
	5:52pm dale: hello. glad the pointers got some love here.
	5:53pm Rob Kopp: Thanks Sheila. I will listen tomorrow again, because the conversation with my wife had the upperhand over the music.
	5:53pm Smurph: Love this track.
	5:54pm Michael 98145: thank you again, DJ Sheila peace, all
	5:54pm Russt44: Allen Toussaint!
	5:54pm dale: rob - i always give my wife a glowering stare when i want to hear the music instead of her. i'm going to hell, no doubt.
	5:55pm Rob Kopp: Thanks dale!
	5:55pm Dan from Delco: This song is killer
	5:55pm P-90: Our President(?) and others who defend these monuments as “a part of our history, however dark or troubled, that should be preserved” are missing the essential point that the narrative these monuments tell is NOT really a part of our history, it’s a deliberate deception that covers up big chunks of our history. And that narrative was used to perpetuate racism and resentments that caused generations of suffering, and intentionally kept open wounds that could have and should have been allowed to heal.
	5:56pm brainiac: Sheila, so long and thanks for another great show! Let's all stay as positive as we can can.
	5:56pm Yes: Thank you !!
	5:56pm ncjay: another lovely show Sheila - thanks and see you next week!
	5:56pm Giacomo Giordano: luv me some pointer sisters!
	5:57pm Dave Miss: The occasional Ray
	5:58pm βrian: Flint-born Betty.
	5:58pm Carmichael: Just don't test positive. @brainiac, Hilltop is open.
	5:58pm ignatatus666: P-90 Good try So far from the truth We have monuments of Stalin as well. Your lies fit your narrative
	5:58pm Russt44: Thanks for playing Ray and Betty, especially this song. We forget how great this album is.
	5:59pm brainiac: @Carm: we'll be together again, just not indoors.
	5:59pm chris: thanks, Sheila! wonderfulness today, as always.
	5:59pm radioronan: Great show Sheila. We all need to keep listening (especially to WFMU) and learning..Be well. Be Kind. Be heard.
	6:00pm P-90: Many thanks as always, Sheila!
	6:00pm ncjay: well, not next week, then. have a great week off Sheila!
	6:00pm JosephB: So long Sheila and listeners! Thanks for the tunes and conversation.
	6:00pm Devin B.: Thank you as always! Be well, Sheila!
	6:01pm djsheilab: Thank you lovely listeners! See you in a couple of weeks. Xoxoxo
	6:22pm JLitt: You two are hilarious!
