	9:01am Deborah: Radio Radio!! Yip Yip Yip
	9:02am Phillippe Bastille: good morning. Hey DiL!
	👻 9:03am Marley P. Dogg: Joe! I think I need an extra helping of yipitude to get going this morning
	9:03am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning gang! Morning Joe!

	👻 9:04am YETI BOB: hey Buddha, Marley, PB, D(iL) Deborah, Strandlund and Big Joe McG!
	9:05am Rachel Bo Bachel: Booods!! Morning Joe! Rose and Salem (4 and 2) are doing an impressive soft shoe routine on the hearth to this one
	👻 9:05am YETI BOB: sorry Bop, that was an oversight! Hi to you too. Are you in the Tannersville in the Poconos or the one in the Adirondacks?
	👻 9:05am Marley P. Dogg: Hey Yeti!
	9:07am Deborah: Hi Buddha, everyone!
	9:07am Matt Fiveash: Enjoying this cheerful "famous war criminals of history" set so far Joe!
	9:07am Buddha of Suburbia: Rachel Bo Bachel! How are you?? How are you feeling??
	9:07am Buddha of Suburbia: Deborah! YETI BOB!! Hi everyone!!
	9:08am G: Idi was da man /s
	👻 9:09am YETI BOB: "Idi, Idi, Idi Amin, most amazing man, dere's ever been, he de general de president, de king of de scene, Idi, Idi, Idi Amin"
	9:10am Krys O.: Greetings!
	9:11am Joe McG: Hey everybody - Starting out with some historical figures and we'll move on from there. You know how this works! Welcome to the show.
	9:11am Deborah: We need a song for Trumpolini!
	👻 9:11am YETI BOB: Original version of the song had lyrics... The song was called "Amazin' Man" by John Bird, it came out in 1975. "This album was pulled in Britain in the late 70's because Idi Amin Dada had a UK journalist slated for execution." - found in some random forum on the Internet
	9:13am melinda: Hi Joe and everyone
	9:15am G: @Yeti -- Yeah, I was in grade school in England in the early 70s, and Idi was big news there, starting when he decided to expel Pakistanis, or something like that. He then went on to "greater and greater" things... I wrote a term paper about him in some writing course...
	9:16am Mike W: Thank you Joe for that Lord Invader song — just what my reality demanded at that precise moment to push back against madness Also, I saw “Henry Morgan” and thought, Colonel Potter?! Awesome! #harry
	9:16am paul: The game show host?
	👻 9:16am YETI BOB: these lyrics to Idi Amin are really something: www.musixmatch.com... - He's not exactly praising the dictator! (The Idi Amin character keeps shooting his backup singers)
	9:16am Joe McG: I've done this three times before, God help me, in case you're wondering why I didn't play a favorite: wfmu.org..., wfmu.org..., wfmu.org...
	9:16am David (in London): Phillippe, Yeti Bob, Buddha, melinda. Greetings you good groovers.
	9:17am Joe McG: @Matt: Ha! @paul: Yes.
	9:17am paul: Mike W, that was Harry Morgan.
	9:17am Buddha of Suburbia: I have $13 worth of coupons towards anything at CVS. What would you get with that?
	9:17am paul: Wow!
	9:18am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi David (in London)! How are you?
	9:18am Listener Bop Monroe: Tannersville NY, the Catskills. Play 'Joe Franklin' by Pocket Monster!
	👻 9:18am YETI BOB: @Boods: Stock up on toothpaste & toothbrushes & dental floss
	9:18am G: @Buddha -- anything you don't really need...
	9:18am David (in London): Hey Boods. Yes, all fine here I think. Ploughing through a rather murky Monday, but spirits are OK. How's yourself?
	9:19am G: "HT" -- a song written in honor of Watergate
	9:19am Mike W: God help you @JoeMcG
	9:20am Rachel Bo Bachel: Boods feeling pretty good, thanks for asking! 20 weeks. Feeling some kicks! Miss you grrrl! Hey Krys O!
	👻 9:20am Ken From Hyde Park: @Buddha - Maybe an 8x11 enlargement photo for you or a loved one?
	👻 9:20am YETI BOB: @Bop: Oh, of course - Catskills not Adirondacks - I got my mountains mixed up
	9:21am Buddha of Suburbia: I have a good amount of toothbrushes, dental floss, etc. I'm okay David in London. Everything here feels like ground hog day. Just going to be cleaning the house today. Not much going on. Trying to be grateful I have my health and I'm doing ok.Ken from Hyde Park, Nah! That's wonderful Rachel Bo Bachel was the gift I sent you Josh approved?
	👻 9:23am YETI BOB: @Buddha: Are the coupons transferable? You could give them to a homeless person.
	9:25am Roberto: "Ground Hog Day" sounds gruesome.
	9:26am Deborah: Why do I hear echoes of Paul Mauriott's (sp) "Love Is Blue'? Haven't thought about that song in ages.
	9:26am Andrew_in_WI: I've another suggestion. "Helena Bonham Carter" by Liam Finn.
	👻 9:27am YETI BOB: @JoeMcG: This is inspiring me to write a song called "Joe McGasko"
	9:27am Buddha of Suburbia: Actually, Yeti Bob, they're not transferable. I don't live in an area where there are many homeless people, but I could buy some necessities and send it to a local organization that helps homeless people! Thanks for the great idea, Yeti Bob!
	9:28am Strandlund: Buddah...get some Toilet Paper, Hand Sanitizer, Paper Towels, Clorex Wipes, Gloves and Masks...This Covid-19 isn't going away anytime soon, regardless of what our "so-called" President says.
	9:29am David (in London): Count Yeti Bob - We could do a split single, as I've just written a 10-minute epic called 'Station Manager Ken'.
	9:29am Buddha of Suburbia: Strandlund, so very true. Our president is toxic for this country.
	9:29am Strandlund: We need a vaccine to help us from him!
	9:29am Creature Boy: Hey what the HEY?
	9:30am Rachel Bo Bachel: Boods Josh is of the we-have-too-much-stuff school of thought, so don’t worry about him. I think it’s great and I can’t wait to use it at our new house on holidays! Is it from the Jewish Museum? I feel like I’ve seen it at the gift store there maybe. Also, $13- so good!! I kind of love CVS. My dad insists that it stands for “Cards, Videos and Sundries”. I vote for sundries!
	9:31am Buddha of Suburbia: David (in London) did you really? I've listened to David in London's music, people! It's very good!
	9:32am listener Rey: Good morning to you all on this rainy Monday morning
	9:32am Rachel Bo Bachel: David in London I need to hear that!! Ps it’s murky here too. I’m trying to get in touch w/ cozy fall vibes
	9:33am David (in London): Boods, no I was only joshing. But thinking about, with a few carefully snaffled samples from his Wednesday show, it might be fun...
	9:33am Creature Boy: Remember when Jimmy Carter mentioned Amy's musical faves in an interview way back when? "Stones, Clash" in his funny accent
	9:34am Buddha of Suburbia: You will have to send it to me when completed. Can't wait!
	👻 9:35am YETI BOB: Ken really is a heroic figure and deserves a ballad or two. The way he has kept this station afloat through so many changes, the divorce from Upsala College, the moves, FCC battles, this crazy lockdown - Ken is THE MAN.
	9:35am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The Pocket Fishrmen...I wonder if anybody named a band Flowbee?
	👻 9:36am YETI BOB: @Woods: That's a name for a rapper.
	👻 9:36am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. One those wet Monday mornings where you should stayed in bed or be watching old black & white films.
	9:36am seedfriend: So stoked to catch this!!
	👻 9:37am Marley P. Dogg: What is it about an accordion that is so calming?
	9:37am ?: there was a song called 'mr. popeil' they used to play on WPIX.... sounds like the b52s.
	9:37am David (in London): Mm, I've going to have to give this some serious consideration then... Woods - One of the main points of my education this year has been learning what a flowbee is! Brian - Yip to you sir.
	9:37am Creature Boy: Cool theme
	👻 9:37am Marley P. Dogg: Yeti - I second that!
	9:38am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @David (in London) ...and they still make them!
	9:38am Toothgrinder Tom: I love an accordeon! (Hi, David in Londres.)
	9:38am Listener Bop Monroe: found it! was weird al! mr. popeil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPzolLg7PwM
	9:39am Deborah: @Rachel Bo Bachel: Around here CVS stands for Constsantly Vacant Shelves. Guess it depends on the CVS and the consumers.
	9:40am Toothgrinder Tom: Lá revolution ne sera pas diffusee a la television.
	9:41am David (in London): I think floWbeE might be an aggressive glitchy, Techno outfit, like Aphex in one of his darker moods. T.Tom - Hello mate! How are you?
	9:41am Deborah: @WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh the Flowbee! A friend was so hung up on his Flowbee, way back! He recently died due to the effects of COVID. Sad.
	9:41am BNowB_: You mentioned harry true man just as I saw a folder on computer of movie "the Truman show" Oh names... coinQedinks
	9:41am Rachel Bo Bachel: I like that Harry Truman said “the buck stops here” as opposed to “I take responsibility for nothing whatsoever” ~facepalm~
	9:42am paul: Harry was on MASH. C'mon man.
	9:42am Roberto: I think "infamous" would be more appropriate when describing Mr. Amin.
	9:42am Asheville Jon: Hey Joe, how about Sally Kirkland by the Original Sins?
	👻 9:42am YETI BOB: I think Henry Morgan is the Captain Morgan on that rum bottle
	9:43am Toothgrinder Tom: @David still alive and kickin’. You?
	9:43am PaulRobeson1920: Early rocket developed first in Sands Point, Long Island
	9:43am BNowB_: wife swapping young girls what's going on here Joe lol haha jk
	9:44am PaulRobeson1920: Sands Point Castle there is rocket museum
	👻 9:44am Brian in UK: David, double yips & no returns!
	9:44am The Oscar: To be fair, "earlier this year" was five years ago. (Also good morning, and also I love this song!)
	9:44am Buddha of Suburbia: Bizarre indeed! Aleister Crowley was a British occultist.
	9:44am Rachel Bo Bachel: Marley Dogg my daughter started soft-shoe-ing again when this accordion music started :D Hey Bnowb! Deborah aww I could see that too ;) sooo much love for Peter Buck!!
	👻 9:44am karlward: I feel "Virginia Woolf" by Robyn Hitchcock is in my future, and I am cool with that.
	9:44am David (in London): There's a great Parsons biog called 'Sex and Rockets', which is a hoot.
	9:45am PaulRobeson1920: Fantastic music today! Haha
	9:45am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi BNOWB! Didn't see you there! Ken played some Klezmer rock music the other day, Rache! I'll have to find it. It was pretty good.
	9:46am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Tukata morning. There is a rapper called Ken TheMan.
	9:46am Buddha of Suburbia: I'm feeling this tune! Beat Poetry for Survivalists...hmmm...
	9:46am David (in London): T.Tom - Things are as well as one could expect this end thanks. In fact, possibly slightly even better. So, no complaints from me. Hey ami ad.
	9:46am PaulRobeson1920: Liquid fulled rocket 1926 sandspointpreserveconservancy.org...
	9:46am Reno D: Hmmm, a certain Magnetic Fields song comes to mind that fits today’s requirement...
	9:46am Listener Bop Monroe: 'rocket fuel makes me horny' ok, i be down wit dat.
	9:46am Toothgrinder Tom: Jack Parsons Project.
	9:46am Buddha of Suburbia: I will have to check out that blog David in London...
	9:47am PaulRobeson1920: Fueled*
	9:47am Zulnutt: Is that The Pidge on his flute??
	9:47am paul: Pablo Picasso (Bowie version)
	9:47am Joe McG: @Ashville Jon: Do you remember what album that's on?
	9:48am ami ad: @ David (in London): Hey there. There is also KEN Mode.
	👻 9:49am YETI BOB: Luke Haines kind of channeling Robyn Hitchcock on this song (Jack Parsons)
	9:49am The Oscar: Not sure if anyone else read the Twin Peaks books Mark Frost put out a few years back, but Jack Parsons plays a surprisingly major role.
	👻 9:50am waters7: wow!
	9:50am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe McGasko! It's me, Greg Harrison.
	9:50am Joe McG: Greg! Harrison!
	9:51am PaulRobeson1920: That rocket song was a trip
	9:51am Ike: @Buddha@9:17, years ago, that pharmacy chain used to have a surprisingly robust selection of cashews, almonds, etc. if you like that sort of thing. But I like Yeti Bob's idea too!
	9:51am Rachel Bo Bachel: Reno D :D that would be cool! You mean “The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure”? I pretty much can’t get enough MF
	9:51am David (in London): Joe, can I lobby for 'Ma Baker' by Boney M? I realise I might be in a minority here...
	👻 9:52am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: That last track was TuxedoMoon-ish.
	9:53am Doug in DC: Warren Harding by Al Stewart
	9:53am Roberto: "Ma Baker" won't work because the historical figure's name was actually Barker.
	👻 9:53am YETI BOB: There's that Butthole Surfers song where they say "Gary Shandling" over and over, but I don't think that's the title of the song.
	9:53am PaulRobeson1920: Teach my ears to see baby!
	9:53am PaulRobeson1920: Fantastic!
	9:54am David (in London): Roberto - Don't kill the magic, man...
	9:54am GListener MW: an Edison set! :) how about “The Edison Museum” by WFMU’s Nick Hill & They Might Be Giants?
	9:55am Asheville Jon: hey Joe it's on Out There if i remember correctly
	9:55am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ps Joe this show is brilliant!
	9:55am Roberto: Rules is rules, David (iL).
	👻 9:56am YETI BOB: oh man this X+=N record was so hot for 5 minutes in the early 2000s. totally forgot about it!
	9:56am Roberto: However, I do believe Boney M's "Rasputin" would meet today's requirements.
	9:56am BNowB_: this song is fire by, Add N to X
	9:56am Buddha of Suburbia: Ike, I was just there yesterday and you're so right about their selection of nuts. It really is NUT-TASTIC!
	9:57am Joe McG: @Ashville: Good news, I might play it. We've got a radio edit single of it. Does he curse in the album version?
	9:58am David (in London): Roberto, I see what you did there. I'm wounded still, but I nonetheless give your suggestion my seal of approval.
	9:58am Ike: The rules of the game dictate that it has to be [first name] [last name] or [first] [middle] [last], right? Barring someone like Cher or Sting, of course.
	👻 9:59am YETI BOB: @Roberto: No, I think it has to be full name - Grigori Rasputin
	👻 10:00am LW Rhino: Hey Joe.
	10:00am PaulRobeson1920: “Rubin and Cèrise” by Robert Hunter off his 1975 album Tiger Rose!
	10:00am Roberto: We'll leave that to Grand Master McGasko to decide.
	10:00am PaulRobeson1920: I like this game.
	10:01am Buddha of Suburbia: Rachel Bo Bachel, will you be moved into your new house soon? So you have two homes at present, uh?
	10:01am PaulRobeson1920: Hahaha Good Stuff! Gotta LoVe WFMU!
	10:01am melinda: Sound like Marianne Faithfull
	10:02am Niall: Hello, from Ireland, Joe! From the future! Loving these songs.
	10:03am Doctor B.: The Aardvarks remind me of Pink Floyd ca. 1967!
	10:04am Joe McG: Hey Niall, welcome from the future!
	10:04am PaulRobeson1920: Paul Robeson sings a version of “John Brown’s Body” that is sure to bring down the house!
	👻 10:05am YETI BOB: @JoeMcG: I'm not really a fan, but I just remembered that the band MGMT made a song called "Brian Eno" (what does he know?)
	10:06am Joe McG: @YETI: Hm, I'll see if we might have it, but I don't know it.
	10:06am Listener Bop Monroe: does 'Lighten Up Morrissey' by Sparks count?
	10:07am Rachel Bo Bachel: Yeah Boods- we still gotta unload our current place. Supposedly the market in Brooklyn has held up, but we are only getting lowballs. We may re-list after we move out and they can stage it- it’s a huge pain to show while you live in the place you’re trying to sell, during a pandemic, w/ 2 kids (who think it’s their job to make messes). First world problems, I know!!
	10:07am Mike Sin: Some clever programming here. I am very much enjoying it!
	10:08am Joe McG: Always nice to see you, Mike!
	10:08am zopa: Moring Joe. Here's a suggestion for inclusion in a future Columbus Day show. Definitely not for today... It's a full opera! In two parts! en.wikipedia.org... I attended a performance of it years ago. It's out there. Fabio or Bryce show out there.
	10:08am courtneynoir: There's always Illya Kuryakin Looked at Me" by Cleaners from Venus (even though it's a fictional character)
	10:09am Asheville Jon: hey Joe i just listened to the cd version, no cursing that i heard
	👻 10:10am YETI BOB: "Locus Solus" by Raymond Roussell is maybe the weirdest novel I've ever read (and I read some weird stuff).
	10:10am Lauren: Here to say “Josephine” by Magnetic Fields. I don’t even want to hear it, but it must be named.
	10:10am Joe McG: @zopa: Wow!
	10:10am Asheville Jon: there is that "fade out, then fade back in" thing at the end though
	10:11am Reno D: @Rachel, umm, sure. Ferdinand could be the MF song I had in mind. In a passing moment of modesty, I reckon.
	10:14am Rachel Bo Bachel: Oh Reno D I’m such an airhead! I’m blonde AND pregnant, do I get a pass? Lol
	10:14am PaulRobeson1920: Oh wow Thank YOU for playing “Buckminster Fuller” I had no idea there was a song named after him! Bucky Fuller is a hero to one of my favorite teachers! He wrote Spaceship Earth in 1969! Brilliant!
	10:14am Toothgrinder Tom: I don’t think it’s at all appropriate in this venue but didn’t the Bangles sing about ‘Robert DeNiro Talking Italian’? Then there’s ‘Andy Warhol’ from David Bowie’s Hunky Dory album.
	10:17am Rachel Bo Bachel: Reno your song fits the format better anyway! <3
	10:17am Buddha of Suburbia: Rachel, no, I sympathize. It's a lot to deal with. AND you're pregnant!
	10:17am Listener Bop Monroe: 2001 + Childhoods End
	10:17am Toothgrinder Tom: Childhoods End
	10:18am David (in London): The Aardvarks, as produced by Wild Billy Childish no less.
	10:18am Dean: Childhood's End?
	10:18am Terr n DE: childhoods end
	10:18am paul: TTom, that was Bananarama
	10:18am ?: the lion the witch and the wardrobe
	10:19am ?: screw tape letters
	10:19am Roberto: Buckminster Fooler?
	10:19am Reno D: @Rachel, your attributes have produced a mental clarity I could only wish to have. Ferdinand rules!
	10:19am Toothgrinder Tom: @paul, right you are; thanks.
	10:19am paul: yw
	10:20am Dean: Later, Rendezvous with Rama.
	10:20am PaulRobeson1920: Bucky Fuller
	10:21am paul: James Dean by the Eagles
	10:21am Listener Bop Monroe: love the dymaxion car. great shape!
	10:21am Joe McG: Ah yes, the dymaxion house and car, forgot!
	10:22am Toothgrinder Tom: I had a rendezvous with Rama but he stood me up.
	10:22am KWilde: Great theme
	10:22am PaulRobeson1920: “Make the world work, for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.” - Buckminster Fuller - Cradle to Cradle Design
	10:22am PaulRobeson1920: Yes!
	10:23am Roberto: I know there's a song about Emma Stone but I don't recall if the title qualifies.
	10:23am Toothgrinder Tom: Since Clarke was one of science fiction’s ‘Big Three,’ I never thought of his reputation as resting on one single work.
	10:24am paul: Bo Diddley by Buddy Holly
	10:24am Joe McG: @Roberto: Think I played that one last time!
	10:25am Dean: Big Three = Heinlein, Clarke, Asimov?
	10:26am Joe McG: @paul: Would've been a good segueway with this Bo Diddley beat! I think we'll get there, but not with Buddy.
	10:26am Roberto: Oh lol, that's probably where I know it from, Joe.
	👻 10:28am Brian in UK: What was the name of the guy who worked down the chip shop and swore he was Elvis?
	10:28am Rachel Bo Bachel: Reno D the blonde thing you can simulate; pregnancy might be harder. It’s kind of like being stoned, except with more acid reflux and less ability to sleep.
	10:28am Asheville Jon: thanks Joe!
	10:30am Roberto: I have a friend who worked as an assistant or something for Sally Kirkland.
	10:30am Joe McG: She's kissing Joe Franklin on the CD sleeve!
	10:30am Buddha of Suburbia: I'm gonna get going my sweet buddies! Will be listening just can't write anymore. Have got to get cleaning. Bye Joe McGasko and friends! Bye Rachel Bo Bachel! Talk soon hopefully! Great show!
	10:30am David (in London): See ya Buddha!
	10:32am paul: ok @Joe (Animals?)
	10:33am Strandlund: How about AMY GRANT by The Young Fresh Fellows...
	10:34am Buddha of Suburbia: Bye bye my buddy in London (where I was supposed to be at this time) Frowning smirk face Later friends...
	10:34am paul: Gotta run. Have fun, all. Go Rays!
	10:34am P-90: This show today is so dang biographical, I feel like I’m taking a History class while I’m running my errands...
	10:34am Niall: Mission of Burma, "Max Ernst!"
	10:34am David (in London): Surely someone must have released a tribute song about Tura Satana?
	10:35am Joe McG: I think I got Amy Grant and Max Ernst on earlier editions of this special. Love both!
	10:35am Listener Bop Monroe: montgomery cliff honey!
	10:35am Niall: That Steel Pole Bathtub song sounded like Bongwater, wild.
	10:36am PaulRobeson1920: @Roberto @10:19 Buckminsterfullerene was discovered by Sir Harry Kroto of the University of Sussex and Richard Smalley and Bob Curl of Rice University in 1985 during a joint research project. Their discovery lead to a Nobel Prize in 1996. ... Buckminsterfullerene is the third allotrope of carbon along with graphite and diamond.”
	10:36am paul: One more suggestion before I go: Michael Caine by Madness.
	10:36am Rich in Washington: Marilyn Beck, but The Dicks, although I am not sure if it's radio friendly or not.
	10:36am Greg from ZONE 5: I'd put this in the running for THE deepest Clash cut.
	10:36am Rich in Washington: BY The Dicks. Not awake yet.
	10:37am Joe McG: @Greg: I'm in that oddball camp that thinks "Combat Rock" is their best album.
	10:37am prudy: haven't heard this Clash selection in over 30 years...
	10:37am PaulRobeson1920: He imagined the structure before it was discovered. And in honor of Bucky and his life's work they named the elegant structure after him. Fuller passed away 1985 btw
	👻 10:37am Hughie Considine: Slamdance Cosmopolis!
	10:39am Rich in Washington: I immediately recognized this track but momentarily assumed it was from Sandinista.
	10:40am Niall: O, wow, always meant to get into Laddio B. Wild rhythm. It started out like Alice Donut's "Mrs. Hayes" and got well different from there.
	10:40am PaulRobeson1920: Buckminster Fuller loves Tensegrity Structures, and so do I! Hahah I love all this music too!
	10:41am Strandlund: Nelson Mandela by Special AKA...
	10:41am Toothgrinder Tom: @Dean correct! Ding ding ding!
	👻 10:44am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe and everybody! Joe, I'm with you that Combat Rock is my favorite Clash album and their best. Know Your Rights, Atom Tan, Overpowered by Funk, Ghetto Defendent. So many songs on that album are so great.
	10:44am Rachel Bo Bachel: Belated bye, Boods! Happy CVS shopping! The only suggestion I can think of is “Seymour Stein” by Belle & Sebastian, but really that’s not my favorite :/
	👻 10:45am YETI BOB: @PR1920: Don't forget Lonsdaleite, the 4th allotrope of carbon, found in meteorites. Named after Irish pacifist, prison reformer and crystallographer Kathleen Lonsdale. (Let's write a song about her!)
	👻 10:46am tim from champaign (now washington): @Rich In Washington - There's also George Jackson by the Dicks (which I'm pretty sure is radio friendly). George Jackson can be followed with The Butthole Surfers' "Gary Floyd".
	10:46am Toothgrinder Tom: Cool ‘Andy Warhol’ cover.
	10:47am prudy: Sandinista still rules for me, but Combat Rock never got the recognition it deserved as the Clash self destructed soon thereafter...
	10:47am Reno D: I knew Bowie’s Warhol tribute would pop up sooner or later. Great cover.
	👻 10:48am tim from champaign (now washington): Are their any songs where a band titled a song after their own band member?
	10:48am Dean: I fall smack dab in the thick of the bell curve: best Clash is first.
	10:48am Toothgrinder Tom: Okay now I’m not leaving the house. Curse you, McGaskill!
	10:48am Dean: To be precise, the UK issue of the first.
	10:49am northguineahills: Stereo Total!
	10:49am David (in London): And Strummer did his legendary vanishing act just before they toured Combat Rock. I remember following that avidly in the music press at the time. Where is Joe..?
	10:50am Nardo: Hey Joe! Could've done a Great Plains two-fer with Rutherford B. Hayes if you allow middle initials.
	10:50am Joe McG: @nardo: played that one last time, I think!
	10:51am PaulRobeson1920: @Yeti ThAnk YOU!
	👻 10:51am waters7: So sweet
	10:53am Gordon FM: OK, you already were awesome. But now you are super awesome for playing Bobby Callender.
	10:53am David (in London): The Shangs should be a shoo-in here, but irritatingly they always seem to just go for the one word title, 'Claudine' about Claudine Longet for example.
	👻 10:54am YETI BOB: @PR1920: I just remembered Graphene too. They just keep finding more carbon allotropes! Recently C12 - Dodecahedrane - was synthesized - see pubs.rsc.org... . Organic chemistry is cool.
	👻 10:55am tim from champaign (now washington): Gary Panter definitely deserves a song.
	👻 10:55am YETI BOB: At my comment limit. God, I love this station! (And I love my Gary Panter WFMU T-shirt). Great show Joe. See y'all later.
	10:56am David (in London): See you later on C.Y.B!
	👻 10:57am Brian in UK: Well I like London Calling, so you can tell I am not 100% Clash fan.
	10:57am Nardo: Super duper playlist nonetheless!!!
	10:57am Rachel Bo Bachel: Later on, Yeti Bob!
	10:58am PaulRobeson1920: Yeah! Same here! Peace and love Ya’ll!! Good music WFMU!
	10:58am Morgan: oh jazz butcher also has peter lorre
	10:59am AS from MP: Based on the pleasant surprise by many on hearing Sean Flynn, it may be fairly safe to say I am the only one with it on my mp3 player, formerly used at the gym in different times...
	11:00am Dean: Even so, my favorite Clash track is not on the first album. It's either "Safe European Home" from the second album or "White Man in Hammersmith Palais," a single. On KROQ, the producer of the second album, Sandy Pearlman, dedicated SEH to me, "the world's greatest Clash fan." A proud moment.
	11:01am coelacanth∅: could've played Katell Keineg's song about Gauguin after the song about Renoir
	👻 11:03am tim from champaign (now washington): If I had a band, I'd have a song called Joe McGasko.
	11:04am eric from lake hiawatha: Careful curation of a vast field made compelling and transporting. Thank you.
	11:04am Otis Fodder: Morning from Montreal Joe!
	11:04am coelacanth∅: but Dean you WEREN'T the world's greatest clash fan I WAS! (actually i wasn't that great but i was greatly into the clash)
	11:05am David (in London): Hey Coela.
	11:05am Laura in Peekskill: To continue the actors theme, might I suggest New Bomb Turks' "Veronica Lake"? And/or the Decemberists' "Myla Goldberg," if you want to return to authors.
	11:05am Reno D: @ Rachel, yeah I just need a wig and a belly bump, but you’re the real deal. I’m just a recluse.
	11:07am coelacanth∅: hey David! i'm digging your new bandcamp release!
	11:07am Dean: You're probably right, @coel, but I wasn't going to call the station to complain just then. Pearlman did it prompted by a buddy of mine whom I knew through my record store gig, also named Dean, who accompanied Pearlman to the station. But the Dean Pearlman intended was me. The other Dean didn't care about the Clash at all.
	👻 11:09am tim from champaign (now washington): There's "Tina Louise" by the Dirtbombs. Mick Collins calls Tori Spelling a strumpet in that song.
	11:10am David (in London): Coela, wow, thanks man. Really appreciate it.
	11:10am Laura in Peekskill: @Dean, how do you feel about the live version of WMIHP on From Here to Eternity? I like better than the original, I think.
	11:11am wendy del formaggio: Hi friends! I tuned in during Joe’s last mic break. Did anyone mention that Gary Panter designed the sets for “Pee Wee’s Playhouse” and drew comix with Matt Groening? If not, now someone has!
	11:11am AndyIowa: Digging the show theme today, Joe! Thanks for always making Monday mornings brighter, even on a rainy day like today. Can’t wait until everyone can return safely to station and Monty Hall. Have a great week, all! -AndyIowa in Brooklyn
	11:11am coelacanth∅: really my friend Carl might've got us both beat (even though i introduced him to the clash) he wanted our band to be a clash cover band (beyond the 4-5 clash songs we already did) he bought the "the only band that matters" thing fortunately he was vetoed.
	11:12am Joe McG: Many thanks, AndyIowa! Glad you're enjoying!
	👻 11:13am tim from champaign (now washington): Forget 1964, I wish I could see a band this unhinged in 2020!
	11:15am Andrew_in_WI: My suggestion!
	11:15am Carl: This is such a banger. Great set, Joe.
	11:15am Joe McG: @tim: I'm with you! They must've been amazing by the lo-fi evidence. @Andrew: Thanks for the great suggestion!
	11:16am KWilde: Is David Watts considered to be a real person?
	11:17am Andrew_in_WI: I've seen Tetuzi twice. One time with the lutist Van Wissem
	11:18am Dean: @Laura: I don't know it! By the time the album appeared, I had drifted from rock music.
	11:18am Dennis Diken: loved the Levon & Hawks track. go Joe!
	11:19am The Butterman: I doubt you’ll play David Bowie by Phish.
	11:19am Laura in Peekskill: @Dean: YouTube it--it might drift you back!
	11:20am Joe McG: @The Butterman: Ha ha ha
	11:20am Rachel Bo Bachel: Reno you can be me for Halloween and I can be you! What do I need?
	11:20am Dean: Will do. Probably ought to pick up the album, too.
	11:20am HesperusWrecked: Vic Chesnutt's "Lucinda Williams"
	11:21am Laura in Peekskill: Howsabout "John Hardy" and "John Henry"? Do legendary characters count?
	11:21am Laura in Peekskill: @Dean definitely. I usually don't like live records, but I make an exception for that one.
	11:21am Rachel Bo Bachel: Did Wreckless Eric make a full recovery? I heard he had the Covid. Met him after a show once; what a nice guy!!
	11:21am Joe McG: @Hesperus: What release is that on, do you know? I know he also did one about Phillip Guston.
	11:22am David (in London): I know it fails because it's singular rather than plural, but Johnny Thunder by The Kinks works backwards, because that's where he got his name from. Is that unique, or are there comparable examples?
	11:22am Dean: I used to not prefer live albums. In recent years that has changed.
	11:23am Laura in Peekskill: And Johnny B. Goode? An all-John, all-fictional-characters set?
	11:24am HesperusWrecked: Joe— Chesnutt's "West of Rome"
	11:24am Laura in Peekskill: Is that possibly in inverse proportion to the number of live shows you've seen, Dean? :-/
	👻 11:24am tim from champaign (now washington): Angie Heaton?!? I know her! She 's a totally kick ass, super funny great person.
	11:25am P-90: Hasn’t Joe done a “fictional character names” theme...?
	11:25am coelacanth∅: Rachel i asked someone just a few days ago when he said he knew Eric and Amy and he said they're both doing well now
	11:25am dano59: You're the best Joe. Si's John Doe, this name game was a facebook thread yesterday
	11:26am Dean: Morton Feldman did a For Phillip Guston.
	11:27am coelacanth∅: many of the best jazz albums are live (the majority?)
	11:28am dano59: One of my faves, Dusty Springfield by The Haywains
	11:29am pgalub: Hey Joe. Sounding swell. Verlaine.verlaine.verlaine.verlaine...
	11:29am Joe McG: @dano59: Really? Missed it! Got the Haywains on a previous edition. Also blew that Wreckless/Amy Rigby segue! She has one called "Robert Altman" that I've got here....
	11:29am Dean: No doubt, Laura. Many fewer shows in recent years, and so my ears are open to the next best thing. But I also think the factors I didn't like about live records long ago--the sloppiness, the extraneous noises--I now favor. Bill Evans' Waltz for Debby, for example, is all the better because of the sound of clinking cocktail glasses.
	11:29am Joe McG: Hey Pete! Verlaine, verlaine, verlaine!
	11:29am Laura in Peekskill: @coel: that makes sense.
	11:30am Laura in Peekskill: Come on--better than when some guy yells out "Whipping Post"? I sincerely doubt it.
	👻 11:31am tim from champaign (now washington): Is Billy Hunt of the Jam song fictional?
	11:31am Dean: Waltz for Debby would be so much better if somebody yelled out "Whipping Post," OMG.
	11:32am Laura in Peekskill: Most live songs would be.
	11:33am coelacanth∅: hahaha
	11:33am Laura in Peekskill: Actually, the idea of that makes me feel like I've been tied to the whipping post FOR REAL.
	11:34am Laura in Peekskill: (ouch)
	11:34am David (in London): Dean, I always liked Mark Hollis' single solo album for that reason. You can hear his guitar stool squeak it's so intimate.
	11:35am Rachel Bo Bachel: Coelacantho thx that’s good news!
	11:35am Dean: Fly away, Free Bird! Townes Van Zandt's live album from Houston is also really well recorded. You can hear the space surrounding him. For that matter, so is Leo Kottke's live album from Denver.
	11:36am Yes: relaxing tunes. thanks joe
	👻 11:36am tim from champaign (now washington): My favorite (and greatest of all time) live album is Nugent's "Double Live Gonzos". That album is so over the top. Yes, feel free to heckle me, I deserve it. I do not support Nugent's wacked out ideas and garbage talk. I took me way too long to finally ditch my Nugent records. Nugent turned into a guilty pleasure for me because I genuinely felt guilty for loving his music and hanging on to his records.
	11:37am coelacanth∅: -and Neil Young's "will to Love", recorded next to a roaring fire
	11:37am Mike W: @JoeMcG is Barbara Manning’s “Mark E. Smith and Brix” two much?
	👻 11:37am Brian in UK: Joe @ 11:29. Do not beat yourself up, you seem to be getting the hang of this disc jockey malarkey!!
	11:37am Rachel Bo Bachel: Laura in Peekskill: my dad, who grew up in NYC during the 60s-70s, says he used to hear that guy at so many concerts! Is that in a live album somewhere? He would get a kick out of hearing that I bet!
	11:37am coelacanth∅: if whipping post is the new freebird i'm all for it
	👻 11:38am Brian in UK: @Dean, just leave Towne's taste in jokes behind.
	11:39am Laura in Peekskill: @Rachel--which guy? The one who yells out "Whipping Post"?
	👻 11:40am YETI BOB: Minor correction - Dodecahedrane is C20H20 not C12, so it's a hydrocarbon, not a carbon allotrope. We regret the error.
	11:41am Rachel Bo Bachel: Yes Laura my dad used to go to lots of rock shows and that guy was at a ton of them, yelling out that request! He was pre-“Freebird”!
	11:41am David (in London): Mm, we could have 'Willie Nelson' by Miles Davis. And 'John McLaughlin', too.
	11:41am Joe McG: I once played "Whipping Post" for an hour on this radio show. I think I'd just broken up with someone.
	11:41am Joe McG: @David: Did I do "Willie" by Miles last time? I think so?
	11:43am Laura in Peekskill: @Joe McG: did that person get the hint? @Rachel: Wow, I have no idea. Could it really have been only one person? Maybe it was a carefully planned conspiracy.
	11:43am Rachel Bo Bachel: Jooooeee *hugs* Once again, this show has been such a joy! Thank you for all you do! I owe you a pledge! :)
	11:43am Ike: Has Willie Nelson ever covered that one? It would be especially sad if Willie Nelson himself was singing about when he himself was his only friend.
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: Joe, was it Billy Preston by Miles D?
	11:44am Ike: If he put it on a self-titled album, he'd have a so-called "trifecta" that some of the DJs here like.
	11:44am Joe McG: @Laura: Nah, she dropped me like a bad habit.
	11:45am coelacanth∅: tim -negent's had some pretty stellar musical moments, despite less-than-stellar socio-political ones! stranglehold is killer and some of the amboy dukes songs are excellent
	11:45am Jeffrey Davison: All of these People You May Know shows have been great. Inspired programming. This set is amazing.
	11:45am Reno D: @Rachel, prosthetic wrinkles and an old WFMU t-shirt should do it.
	11:45am Rachel Bo Bachel: Laura it was apparently this one dude! What album is it recorded on?? I gotta play it for him. He’s an FMU fan too, he used to listen to JM in the AM and now he’s a Wake and Bake “glistener”!
	11:46am Dean: Will have to explore that live Nugent album. Townes' jokes, right, an acquired taste. Same for some of Leo's. I remember when Waiting for Columbus came out. I was not impressed. Since then I've seen (or heard) the light. Odd, because not long after Allman Brothers' Fillmore East was issued I heard it c/o a friend's older siblings and I thought it was spectacular right from the get-go.
	11:46am Laura in Peekskill: It's on the Allmans' Live at the Fillmore, IIRC.
	11:47am Joe B: incredible show!
	11:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Joe B! Your "name" special last week was extra special. If you folks missed it, dial it up on the archive!
	11:49am Dean: Yes 'tis. I recall being in a record store in London, where they played the then recently issued live Michael Stanley Band Stage Pass. First I'd heard of the band. Blew me away.
	11:50am coelacanth∅: Allman's at the fillmore must be one of the best live albums of all time. both playing and recording/production.
	11:51am Laura in Peekskill: WHIPPING POST
	11:51am melinda: @Dean I love hearing clinking cocktail glasses in live recordings. In Janis Joplin's Turtle Blues you hear what sounds like a glass hitting the floor and breaking, better still.
	11:52am Joe McG: Thanks for your great suggestions today, folks. Sorry I couldn't get to all of them.
	11:53am David (in London): Great show today Joe. Though the omission of Boney M still hurts...
	11:53am Rachel Bo Bachel: Laura ohhh. This guy would yell “play whipping post!” At pretty much all rock shows, regardless of who was performing. So you are right, if it was an actual Allman Bros. show, it very well could have been someone else ;) I’ll play it for him anyway and see if he can tell by the voice!
	11:54am The Butterman: Whoa! There was a part of this song that I only know from Parliament-Funkadelic! Who got it from who?
	👻 11:54am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Joe! Super fun theme today an great choices.
	11:54am melinda: @David in London I love Rasputeen
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, commenting, and donating. See you next week for Singles Going Steaaaaady!
	👻 11:54am 12539: Thank you, Joe! Stay well everyone.
	11:55am radioronan: Thanks Joe !
	11:55am Dean: Right there, @melinda, is a theme for a show: tracks/albums with extraneous live sounds.
	11:56am David (in London): And of course on The Stooges' 'Metallic K.O.' live album you can hear the gentle clink of bowling balls and beer bottles as they hit the guitar strings...
	11:56am Dean: Playlist shows Carlos Santana & Buddy Miles Live!
	11:57am Hubig Pie: I be here really late, what's about The Replacements Alex Chilton ?
	11:59am John in Phoenixville: I was going to request “Dusty Springfield” by Blossom Dearie, Joe! Should have known you’d get to it on your own. Thanks!!
	11:59am coelacanth∅: i think Joe played "Alex Chilton" last time he did one of these shows -?
	11:59am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe!
	6:36am Pamela Wyatt: Spirit raising show, Joe! Absolutely adore Santa Sprees....quite a recent discovery for me...wrote a longish review for the PROTEAN NORM blog about the album. Nice to hear Wreckless Eric on Joe Meek, too. Keep doin' what you're doin' PAM proteannorm.blogspot.com
	6:41am Pamela Wyatt: Santa Sprees also have songs called 'Phil Spector' and 'Robert Bresson' santasprees.bandcamp.com...

	9:15am G: @Yeti -- Yeah, I was in grade school in England in the early 70s, and Idi was big news there, starting when he decided to expel Pakistanis, or something like that. He then went on to "greater and greater" things... I wrote a term paper about him in some writing course...
	9:16am Mike W: Thank you Joe for that Lord Invader song — just what my reality demanded at that precise moment to push back against madness Also, I saw “Henry Morgan” and thought, Colonel Potter?! Awesome! #harry
	9:16am paul: The game show host?
	👻 9:16am YETI BOB: these lyrics to Idi Amin are really something: www.musixmatch.com... - He's not exactly praising the dictator! (The Idi Amin character keeps shooting his backup singers)
	9:16am Joe McG: I've done this three times before, God help me, in case you're wondering why I didn't play a favorite: wfmu.org..., wfmu.org..., wfmu.org...
	9:16am David (in London): Phillippe, Yeti Bob, Buddha, melinda. Greetings you good groovers.
	9:17am Joe McG: @Matt: Ha! @paul: Yes.
	9:17am paul: Mike W, that was Harry Morgan.
	9:17am Buddha of Suburbia: I have $13 worth of coupons towards anything at CVS. What would you get with that?
	9:17am paul: Wow!
	9:18am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi David (in London)! How are you?
	9:18am Listener Bop Monroe: Tannersville NY, the Catskills. Play 'Joe Franklin' by Pocket Monster!
	👻 9:18am YETI BOB: @Boods: Stock up on toothpaste & toothbrushes & dental floss
	9:18am G: @Buddha -- anything you don't really need...
	9:18am David (in London): Hey Boods. Yes, all fine here I think. Ploughing through a rather murky Monday, but spirits are OK. How's yourself?
	9:19am G: "HT" -- a song written in honor of Watergate
	9:19am Mike W: God help you @JoeMcG
	9:20am Rachel Bo Bachel: Boods feeling pretty good, thanks for asking! 20 weeks. Feeling some kicks! Miss you grrrl! Hey Krys O!
	👻 9:20am Ken From Hyde Park: @Buddha - Maybe an 8x11 enlargement photo for you or a loved one?
	👻 9:20am YETI BOB: @Bop: Oh, of course - Catskills not Adirondacks - I got my mountains mixed up
	9:21am Buddha of Suburbia: I have a good amount of toothbrushes, dental floss, etc. I'm okay David in London. Everything here feels like ground hog day. Just going to be cleaning the house today. Not much going on. Trying to be grateful I have my health and I'm doing ok.Ken from Hyde Park, Nah! That's wonderful Rachel Bo Bachel was the gift I sent you Josh approved?
	👻 9:23am YETI BOB: @Buddha: Are the coupons transferable? You could give them to a homeless person.
	9:25am Roberto: "Ground Hog Day" sounds gruesome.
	9:26am Deborah: Why do I hear echoes of Paul Mauriott's (sp) "Love Is Blue'? Haven't thought about that song in ages.
	9:26am Andrew_in_WI: I've another suggestion. "Helena Bonham Carter" by Liam Finn.
	👻 9:27am YETI BOB: @JoeMcG: This is inspiring me to write a song called "Joe McGasko"
	9:27am Buddha of Suburbia: Actually, Yeti Bob, they're not transferable. I don't live in an area where there are many homeless people, but I could buy some necessities and send it to a local organization that helps homeless people! Thanks for the great idea, Yeti Bob!
	9:28am Strandlund: Buddah...get some Toilet Paper, Hand Sanitizer, Paper Towels, Clorex Wipes, Gloves and Masks...This Covid-19 isn't going away anytime soon, regardless of what our "so-called" President says.
	9:29am David (in London): Count Yeti Bob - We could do a split single, as I've just written a 10-minute epic called 'Station Manager Ken'.
	9:29am Buddha of Suburbia: Strandlund, so very true. Our president is toxic for this country.
	9:29am Strandlund: We need a vaccine to help us from him!
	9:29am Creature Boy: Hey what the HEY?
	9:30am Rachel Bo Bachel: Boods Josh is of the we-have-too-much-stuff school of thought, so don’t worry about him. I think it’s great and I can’t wait to use it at our new house on holidays! Is it from the Jewish Museum? I feel like I’ve seen it at the gift store there maybe. Also, $13- so good!! I kind of love CVS. My dad insists that it stands for “Cards, Videos and Sundries”. I vote for sundries!
	9:31am Buddha of Suburbia: David (in London) did you really? I've listened to David in London's music, people! It's very good!
	9:32am listener Rey: Good morning to you all on this rainy Monday morning
	9:32am Rachel Bo Bachel: David in London I need to hear that!! Ps it’s murky here too. I’m trying to get in touch w/ cozy fall vibes
	9:33am David (in London): Boods, no I was only joshing. But thinking about, with a few carefully snaffled samples from his Wednesday show, it might be fun...
	9:33am Creature Boy: Remember when Jimmy Carter mentioned Amy's musical faves in an interview way back when? "Stones, Clash" in his funny accent
	9:34am Buddha of Suburbia: You will have to send it to me when completed. Can't wait!
	👻 9:35am YETI BOB: Ken really is a heroic figure and deserves a ballad or two. The way he has kept this station afloat through so many changes, the divorce from Upsala College, the moves, FCC battles, this crazy lockdown - Ken is THE MAN.
	9:35am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The Pocket Fishrmen...I wonder if anybody named a band Flowbee?
	👻 9:36am YETI BOB: @Woods: That's a name for a rapper.
	👻 9:36am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. One those wet Monday mornings where you should stayed in bed or be watching old black & white films.
	9:36am seedfriend: So stoked to catch this!!
	👻 9:37am Marley P. Dogg: What is it about an accordion that is so calming?
	9:37am ?: there was a song called 'mr. popeil' they used to play on WPIX.... sounds like the b52s.
	9:37am David (in London): Mm, I've going to have to give this some serious consideration then... Woods - One of the main points of my education this year has been learning what a flowbee is! Brian - Yip to you sir.
	9:37am Creature Boy: Cool theme
	👻 9:37am Marley P. Dogg: Yeti - I second that!
	9:38am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @David (in London) ...and they still make them!
	9:38am Toothgrinder Tom: I love an accordeon! (Hi, David in Londres.)
	9:38am Listener Bop Monroe: found it! was weird al! mr. popeil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPzolLg7PwM
	9:39am Deborah: @Rachel Bo Bachel: Around here CVS stands for Constsantly Vacant Shelves. Guess it depends on the CVS and the consumers.
	9:40am Toothgrinder Tom: Lá revolution ne sera pas diffusee a la television.
	9:41am David (in London): I think floWbeE might be an aggressive glitchy, Techno outfit, like Aphex in one of his darker moods. T.Tom - Hello mate! How are you?
	9:41am Deborah: @WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh the Flowbee! A friend was so hung up on his Flowbee, way back! He recently died due to the effects of COVID. Sad.
	9:41am BNowB_: You mentioned harry true man just as I saw a folder on computer of movie "the Truman show" Oh names... coinQedinks
	9:41am Rachel Bo Bachel: I like that Harry Truman said “the buck stops here” as opposed to “I take responsibility for nothing whatsoever” ~facepalm~
	9:42am paul: Harry was on MASH. C'mon man.
	9:42am Roberto: I think "infamous" would be more appropriate when describing Mr. Amin.
	9:42am Asheville Jon: Hey Joe, how about Sally Kirkland by the Original Sins?
	👻 9:42am YETI BOB: I think Henry Morgan is the Captain Morgan on that rum bottle
	9:43am Toothgrinder Tom: @David still alive and kickin’. You?
	9:43am PaulRobeson1920: Early rocket developed first in Sands Point, Long Island
	9:43am BNowB_: wife swapping young girls what's going on here Joe lol haha jk
	9:44am PaulRobeson1920: Sands Point Castle there is rocket museum
	👻 9:44am Brian in UK: David, double yips & no returns!
	9:44am The Oscar: To be fair, "earlier this year" was five years ago. (Also good morning, and also I love this song!)
	9:44am Buddha of Suburbia: Bizarre indeed! Aleister Crowley was a British occultist.
	9:44am Rachel Bo Bachel: Marley Dogg my daughter started soft-shoe-ing again when this accordion music started :D Hey Bnowb! Deborah aww I could see that too ;) sooo much love for Peter Buck!!
	👻 9:44am karlward: I feel "Virginia Woolf" by Robyn Hitchcock is in my future, and I am cool with that.
	9:44am David (in London): There's a great Parsons biog called 'Sex and Rockets', which is a hoot.
	9:45am PaulRobeson1920: Fantastic music today! Haha
	9:45am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi BNOWB! Didn't see you there! Ken played some Klezmer rock music the other day, Rache! I'll have to find it. It was pretty good.
	9:46am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Tukata morning. There is a rapper called Ken TheMan.
	9:46am Buddha of Suburbia: I'm feeling this tune! Beat Poetry for Survivalists...hmmm...
	9:46am David (in London): T.Tom - Things are as well as one could expect this end thanks. In fact, possibly slightly even better. So, no complaints from me. Hey ami ad.
	9:46am PaulRobeson1920: Liquid fulled rocket 1926 sandspointpreserveconservancy.org...
	9:46am Reno D: Hmmm, a certain Magnetic Fields song comes to mind that fits today’s requirement...
	9:46am Listener Bop Monroe: 'rocket fuel makes me horny' ok, i be down wit dat.
	9:46am Toothgrinder Tom: Jack Parsons Project.
	9:46am Buddha of Suburbia: I will have to check out that blog David in London...
	9:47am PaulRobeson1920: Fueled*
	9:47am Zulnutt: Is that The Pidge on his flute??
	9:47am paul: Pablo Picasso (Bowie version)
	9:47am Joe McG: @Ashville Jon: Do you remember what album that's on?
	9:48am ami ad: @ David (in London): Hey there. There is also KEN Mode.
	👻 9:49am YETI BOB: Luke Haines kind of channeling Robyn Hitchcock on this song (Jack Parsons)
	9:49am The Oscar: Not sure if anyone else read the Twin Peaks books Mark Frost put out a few years back, but Jack Parsons plays a surprisingly major role.
	👻 9:50am waters7: wow!
	9:50am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe McGasko! It's me, Greg Harrison.
	9:50am Joe McG: Greg! Harrison!
	9:51am PaulRobeson1920: That rocket song was a trip
	9:51am Ike: @Buddha@9:17, years ago, that pharmacy chain used to have a surprisingly robust selection of cashews, almonds, etc. if you like that sort of thing. But I like Yeti Bob's idea too!
	9:51am Rachel Bo Bachel: Reno D :D that would be cool! You mean “The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure”? I pretty much can’t get enough MF
	9:51am David (in London): Joe, can I lobby for 'Ma Baker' by Boney M? I realise I might be in a minority here...
	👻 9:52am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: That last track was TuxedoMoon-ish.
	9:53am Doug in DC: Warren Harding by Al Stewart
	9:53am Roberto: "Ma Baker" won't work because the historical figure's name was actually Barker.
	👻 9:53am YETI BOB: There's that Butthole Surfers song where they say "Gary Shandling" over and over, but I don't think that's the title of the song.
	9:53am PaulRobeson1920: Teach my ears to see baby!
	9:53am PaulRobeson1920: Fantastic!
	9:54am David (in London): Roberto - Don't kill the magic, man...
	9:54am GListener MW: an Edison set! :) how about “The Edison Museum” by WFMU’s Nick Hill & They Might Be Giants?
	9:55am Asheville Jon: hey Joe it's on Out There if i remember correctly
	9:55am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ps Joe this show is brilliant!
	9:55am Roberto: Rules is rules, David (iL).
	👻 9:56am YETI BOB: oh man this X+=N record was so hot for 5 minutes in the early 2000s. totally forgot about it!
	9:56am Roberto: However, I do believe Boney M's "Rasputin" would meet today's requirements.
	9:56am BNowB_: this song is fire by, Add N to X
	9:56am Buddha of Suburbia: Ike, I was just there yesterday and you're so right about their selection of nuts. It really is NUT-TASTIC!
	9:57am Joe McG: @Ashville: Good news, I might play it. We've got a radio edit single of it. Does he curse in the album version?
	9:58am David (in London): Roberto, I see what you did there. I'm wounded still, but I nonetheless give your suggestion my seal of approval.
	9:58am Ike: The rules of the game dictate that it has to be [first name] [last name] or [first] [middle] [last], right? Barring someone like Cher or Sting, of course.
	👻 9:59am YETI BOB: @Roberto: No, I think it has to be full name - Grigori Rasputin
	👻 10:00am LW Rhino: Hey Joe.
	10:00am PaulRobeson1920: “Rubin and Cèrise” by Robert Hunter off his 1975 album Tiger Rose!
	10:00am Roberto: We'll leave that to Grand Master McGasko to decide.
	10:00am PaulRobeson1920: I like this game.
	10:01am Buddha of Suburbia: Rachel Bo Bachel, will you be moved into your new house soon? So you have two homes at present, uh?
	10:01am PaulRobeson1920: Hahaha Good Stuff! Gotta LoVe WFMU!
	10:01am melinda: Sound like Marianne Faithfull
	10:02am Niall: Hello, from Ireland, Joe! From the future! Loving these songs.
	10:03am Doctor B.: The Aardvarks remind me of Pink Floyd ca. 1967!
	10:04am Joe McG: Hey Niall, welcome from the future!
	10:04am PaulRobeson1920: Paul Robeson sings a version of “John Brown’s Body” that is sure to bring down the house!
	👻 10:05am YETI BOB: @JoeMcG: I'm not really a fan, but I just remembered that the band MGMT made a song called "Brian Eno" (what does he know?)
	10:06am Joe McG: @YETI: Hm, I'll see if we might have it, but I don't know it.
	10:06am Listener Bop Monroe: does 'Lighten Up Morrissey' by Sparks count?
	10:07am Rachel Bo Bachel: Yeah Boods- we still gotta unload our current place. Supposedly the market in Brooklyn has held up, but we are only getting lowballs. We may re-list after we move out and they can stage it- it’s a huge pain to show while you live in the place you’re trying to sell, during a pandemic, w/ 2 kids (who think it’s their job to make messes). First world problems, I know!!
	10:07am Mike Sin: Some clever programming here. I am very much enjoying it!
	10:08am Joe McG: Always nice to see you, Mike!
	10:08am zopa: Moring Joe. Here's a suggestion for inclusion in a future Columbus Day show. Definitely not for today... It's a full opera! In two parts! en.wikipedia.org... I attended a performance of it years ago. It's out there. Fabio or Bryce show out there.
	10:08am courtneynoir: There's always Illya Kuryakin Looked at Me" by Cleaners from Venus (even though it's a fictional character)
	10:09am Asheville Jon: hey Joe i just listened to the cd version, no cursing that i heard
	👻 10:10am YETI BOB: "Locus Solus" by Raymond Roussell is maybe the weirdest novel I've ever read (and I read some weird stuff).
	10:10am Lauren: Here to say “Josephine” by Magnetic Fields. I don’t even want to hear it, but it must be named.
	10:10am Joe McG: @zopa: Wow!
	10:10am Asheville Jon: there is that "fade out, then fade back in" thing at the end though
	10:11am Reno D: @Rachel, umm, sure. Ferdinand could be the MF song I had in mind. In a passing moment of modesty, I reckon.
	10:14am Rachel Bo Bachel: Oh Reno D I’m such an airhead! I’m blonde AND pregnant, do I get a pass? Lol
	10:14am PaulRobeson1920: Oh wow Thank YOU for playing “Buckminster Fuller” I had no idea there was a song named after him! Bucky Fuller is a hero to one of my favorite teachers! He wrote Spaceship Earth in 1969! Brilliant!
	10:14am Toothgrinder Tom: I don’t think it’s at all appropriate in this venue but didn’t the Bangles sing about ‘Robert DeNiro Talking Italian’? Then there’s ‘Andy Warhol’ from David Bowie’s Hunky Dory album.
	10:17am Rachel Bo Bachel: Reno your song fits the format better anyway! <3
	10:17am Buddha of Suburbia: Rachel, no, I sympathize. It's a lot to deal with. AND you're pregnant!
	10:17am Listener Bop Monroe: 2001 + Childhoods End
	10:17am Toothgrinder Tom: Childhoods End
	10:18am David (in London): The Aardvarks, as produced by Wild Billy Childish no less.
	10:18am Dean: Childhood's End?
	10:18am Terr n DE: childhoods end
	10:18am paul: TTom, that was Bananarama
	10:18am ?: the lion the witch and the wardrobe
	10:19am ?: screw tape letters
	10:19am Roberto: Buckminster Fooler?
	10:19am Reno D: @Rachel, your attributes have produced a mental clarity I could only wish to have. Ferdinand rules!
	10:19am Toothgrinder Tom: @paul, right you are; thanks.
	10:19am paul: yw
	10:20am Dean: Later, Rendezvous with Rama.
	10:20am PaulRobeson1920: Bucky Fuller
	10:21am paul: James Dean by the Eagles
	10:21am Listener Bop Monroe: love the dymaxion car. great shape!
	10:21am Joe McG: Ah yes, the dymaxion house and car, forgot!
	10:22am Toothgrinder Tom: I had a rendezvous with Rama but he stood me up.
	10:22am KWilde: Great theme
	10:22am PaulRobeson1920: “Make the world work, for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.” - Buckminster Fuller - Cradle to Cradle Design
	10:22am PaulRobeson1920: Yes!
	10:23am Roberto: I know there's a song about Emma Stone but I don't recall if the title qualifies.
	10:23am Toothgrinder Tom: Since Clarke was one of science fiction’s ‘Big Three,’ I never thought of his reputation as resting on one single work.
	10:24am paul: Bo Diddley by Buddy Holly
	10:24am Joe McG: @Roberto: Think I played that one last time!
	10:25am Dean: Big Three = Heinlein, Clarke, Asimov?
	10:26am Joe McG: @paul: Would've been a good segueway with this Bo Diddley beat! I think we'll get there, but not with Buddy.
	10:26am Roberto: Oh lol, that's probably where I know it from, Joe.
	👻 10:28am Brian in UK: What was the name of the guy who worked down the chip shop and swore he was Elvis?
	10:28am Rachel Bo Bachel: Reno D the blonde thing you can simulate; pregnancy might be harder. It’s kind of like being stoned, except with more acid reflux and less ability to sleep.
	10:28am Asheville Jon: thanks Joe!
	10:30am Roberto: I have a friend who worked as an assistant or something for Sally Kirkland.
	10:30am Joe McG: She's kissing Joe Franklin on the CD sleeve!
	10:30am Buddha of Suburbia: I'm gonna get going my sweet buddies! Will be listening just can't write anymore. Have got to get cleaning. Bye Joe McGasko and friends! Bye Rachel Bo Bachel! Talk soon hopefully! Great show!
	10:30am David (in London): See ya Buddha!
	10:32am paul: ok @Joe (Animals?)
	10:33am Strandlund: How about AMY GRANT by The Young Fresh Fellows...
	10:34am Buddha of Suburbia: Bye bye my buddy in London (where I was supposed to be at this time) Frowning smirk face Later friends...
	10:34am paul: Gotta run. Have fun, all. Go Rays!
	10:34am P-90: This show today is so dang biographical, I feel like I’m taking a History class while I’m running my errands...
	10:34am Niall: Mission of Burma, "Max Ernst!"
	10:34am David (in London): Surely someone must have released a tribute song about Tura Satana?
	10:35am Joe McG: I think I got Amy Grant and Max Ernst on earlier editions of this special. Love both!
	10:35am Listener Bop Monroe: montgomery cliff honey!
	10:35am Niall: That Steel Pole Bathtub song sounded like Bongwater, wild.
	10:36am PaulRobeson1920: @Roberto @10:19 Buckminsterfullerene was discovered by Sir Harry Kroto of the University of Sussex and Richard Smalley and Bob Curl of Rice University in 1985 during a joint research project. Their discovery lead to a Nobel Prize in 1996. ... Buckminsterfullerene is the third allotrope of carbon along with graphite and diamond.”
	10:36am paul: One more suggestion before I go: Michael Caine by Madness.
	10:36am Rich in Washington: Marilyn Beck, but The Dicks, although I am not sure if it's radio friendly or not.
	10:36am Greg from ZONE 5: I'd put this in the running for THE deepest Clash cut.
	10:36am Rich in Washington: BY The Dicks. Not awake yet.
	10:37am Joe McG: @Greg: I'm in that oddball camp that thinks "Combat Rock" is their best album.
	10:37am prudy: haven't heard this Clash selection in over 30 years...
	10:37am PaulRobeson1920: He imagined the structure before it was discovered. And in honor of Bucky and his life's work they named the elegant structure after him. Fuller passed away 1985 btw
	👻 10:37am Hughie Considine: Slamdance Cosmopolis!
	10:39am Rich in Washington: I immediately recognized this track but momentarily assumed it was from Sandinista.
	10:40am Niall: O, wow, always meant to get into Laddio B. Wild rhythm. It started out like Alice Donut's "Mrs. Hayes" and got well different from there.
	10:40am PaulRobeson1920: Buckminster Fuller loves Tensegrity Structures, and so do I! Hahah I love all this music too!
	10:41am Strandlund: Nelson Mandela by Special AKA...
	10:41am Toothgrinder Tom: @Dean correct! Ding ding ding!
	👻 10:44am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe and everybody! Joe, I'm with you that Combat Rock is my favorite Clash album and their best. Know Your Rights, Atom Tan, Overpowered by Funk, Ghetto Defendent. So many songs on that album are so great.
	10:44am Rachel Bo Bachel: Belated bye, Boods! Happy CVS shopping! The only suggestion I can think of is “Seymour Stein” by Belle & Sebastian, but really that’s not my favorite :/
	👻 10:45am YETI BOB: @PR1920: Don't forget Lonsdaleite, the 4th allotrope of carbon, found in meteorites. Named after Irish pacifist, prison reformer and crystallographer Kathleen Lonsdale. (Let's write a song about her!)
	👻 10:46am tim from champaign (now washington): @Rich In Washington - There's also George Jackson by the Dicks (which I'm pretty sure is radio friendly). George Jackson can be followed with The Butthole Surfers' "Gary Floyd".
	10:46am Toothgrinder Tom: Cool ‘Andy Warhol’ cover.
	10:47am prudy: Sandinista still rules for me, but Combat Rock never got the recognition it deserved as the Clash self destructed soon thereafter...
	10:47am Reno D: I knew Bowie’s Warhol tribute would pop up sooner or later. Great cover.
	👻 10:48am tim from champaign (now washington): Are their any songs where a band titled a song after their own band member?
	10:48am Dean: I fall smack dab in the thick of the bell curve: best Clash is first.
	10:48am Toothgrinder Tom: Okay now I’m not leaving the house. Curse you, McGaskill!
	10:48am Dean: To be precise, the UK issue of the first.
	10:49am northguineahills: Stereo Total!
	10:49am David (in London): And Strummer did his legendary vanishing act just before they toured Combat Rock. I remember following that avidly in the music press at the time. Where is Joe..?
	10:50am Nardo: Hey Joe! Could've done a Great Plains two-fer with Rutherford B. Hayes if you allow middle initials.
	10:50am Joe McG: @nardo: played that one last time, I think!
	10:51am PaulRobeson1920: @Yeti ThAnk YOU!
	👻 10:51am waters7: So sweet
	10:53am Gordon FM: OK, you already were awesome. But now you are super awesome for playing Bobby Callender.
	10:53am David (in London): The Shangs should be a shoo-in here, but irritatingly they always seem to just go for the one word title, 'Claudine' about Claudine Longet for example.
	👻 10:54am YETI BOB: @PR1920: I just remembered Graphene too. They just keep finding more carbon allotropes! Recently C12 - Dodecahedrane - was synthesized - see pubs.rsc.org... . Organic chemistry is cool.
	👻 10:55am tim from champaign (now washington): Gary Panter definitely deserves a song.
	👻 10:55am YETI BOB: At my comment limit. God, I love this station! (And I love my Gary Panter WFMU T-shirt). Great show Joe. See y'all later.
	10:56am David (in London): See you later on C.Y.B!
	👻 10:57am Brian in UK: Well I like London Calling, so you can tell I am not 100% Clash fan.
	10:57am Nardo: Super duper playlist nonetheless!!!
	10:57am Rachel Bo Bachel: Later on, Yeti Bob!
	10:58am PaulRobeson1920: Yeah! Same here! Peace and love Ya’ll!! Good music WFMU!
	10:58am Morgan: oh jazz butcher also has peter lorre
	10:59am AS from MP: Based on the pleasant surprise by many on hearing Sean Flynn, it may be fairly safe to say I am the only one with it on my mp3 player, formerly used at the gym in different times...
	11:00am Dean: Even so, my favorite Clash track is not on the first album. It's either "Safe European Home" from the second album or "White Man in Hammersmith Palais," a single. On KROQ, the producer of the second album, Sandy Pearlman, dedicated SEH to me, "the world's greatest Clash fan." A proud moment.
	11:01am coelacanth∅: could've played Katell Keineg's song about Gauguin after the song about Renoir
	👻 11:03am tim from champaign (now washington): If I had a band, I'd have a song called Joe McGasko.
	11:04am eric from lake hiawatha: Careful curation of a vast field made compelling and transporting. Thank you.
	11:04am Otis Fodder: Morning from Montreal Joe!
	11:04am coelacanth∅: but Dean you WEREN'T the world's greatest clash fan I WAS! (actually i wasn't that great but i was greatly into the clash)
	11:05am David (in London): Hey Coela.
	11:05am Laura in Peekskill: To continue the actors theme, might I suggest New Bomb Turks' "Veronica Lake"? And/or the Decemberists' "Myla Goldberg," if you want to return to authors.
	11:05am Reno D: @ Rachel, yeah I just need a wig and a belly bump, but you’re the real deal. I’m just a recluse.
	11:07am coelacanth∅: hey David! i'm digging your new bandcamp release!
	11:07am Dean: You're probably right, @coel, but I wasn't going to call the station to complain just then. Pearlman did it prompted by a buddy of mine whom I knew through my record store gig, also named Dean, who accompanied Pearlman to the station. But the Dean Pearlman intended was me. The other Dean didn't care about the Clash at all.
	👻 11:09am tim from champaign (now washington): There's "Tina Louise" by the Dirtbombs. Mick Collins calls Tori Spelling a strumpet in that song.
	11:10am David (in London): Coela, wow, thanks man. Really appreciate it.
	11:10am Laura in Peekskill: @Dean, how do you feel about the live version of WMIHP on From Here to Eternity? I like better than the original, I think.
	11:11am wendy del formaggio: Hi friends! I tuned in during Joe’s last mic break. Did anyone mention that Gary Panter designed the sets for “Pee Wee’s Playhouse” and drew comix with Matt Groening? If not, now someone has!
	11:11am AndyIowa: Digging the show theme today, Joe! Thanks for always making Monday mornings brighter, even on a rainy day like today. Can’t wait until everyone can return safely to station and Monty Hall. Have a great week, all! -AndyIowa in Brooklyn
	11:11am coelacanth∅: really my friend Carl might've got us both beat (even though i introduced him to the clash) he wanted our band to be a clash cover band (beyond the 4-5 clash songs we already did) he bought the "the only band that matters" thing fortunately he was vetoed.
	11:12am Joe McG: Many thanks, AndyIowa! Glad you're enjoying!
	👻 11:13am tim from champaign (now washington): Forget 1964, I wish I could see a band this unhinged in 2020!
	11:15am Andrew_in_WI: My suggestion!
	11:15am Carl: This is such a banger. Great set, Joe.
	11:15am Joe McG: @tim: I'm with you! They must've been amazing by the lo-fi evidence. @Andrew: Thanks for the great suggestion!
	11:16am KWilde: Is David Watts considered to be a real person?
	11:17am Andrew_in_WI: I've seen Tetuzi twice. One time with the lutist Van Wissem
	11:18am Dean: @Laura: I don't know it! By the time the album appeared, I had drifted from rock music.
	11:18am Dennis Diken: loved the Levon & Hawks track. go Joe!
	11:19am The Butterman: I doubt you’ll play David Bowie by Phish.
	11:19am Laura in Peekskill: @Dean: YouTube it--it might drift you back!
	11:20am Joe McG: @The Butterman: Ha ha ha
	11:20am Rachel Bo Bachel: Reno you can be me for Halloween and I can be you! What do I need?
	11:20am Dean: Will do. Probably ought to pick up the album, too.
	11:20am HesperusWrecked: Vic Chesnutt's "Lucinda Williams"
	11:21am Laura in Peekskill: Howsabout "John Hardy" and "John Henry"? Do legendary characters count?
	11:21am Laura in Peekskill: @Dean definitely. I usually don't like live records, but I make an exception for that one.
	11:21am Rachel Bo Bachel: Did Wreckless Eric make a full recovery? I heard he had the Covid. Met him after a show once; what a nice guy!!
	11:21am Joe McG: @Hesperus: What release is that on, do you know? I know he also did one about Phillip Guston.
	11:22am David (in London): I know it fails because it's singular rather than plural, but Johnny Thunder by The Kinks works backwards, because that's where he got his name from. Is that unique, or are there comparable examples?
	11:22am Dean: I used to not prefer live albums. In recent years that has changed.
	11:23am Laura in Peekskill: And Johnny B. Goode? An all-John, all-fictional-characters set?
	11:24am HesperusWrecked: Joe— Chesnutt's "West of Rome"
	11:24am Laura in Peekskill: Is that possibly in inverse proportion to the number of live shows you've seen, Dean? :-/
	👻 11:24am tim from champaign (now washington): Angie Heaton?!? I know her! She 's a totally kick ass, super funny great person.
	11:25am P-90: Hasn’t Joe done a “fictional character names” theme...?
	11:25am coelacanth∅: Rachel i asked someone just a few days ago when he said he knew Eric and Amy and he said they're both doing well now
	11:25am dano59: You're the best Joe. Si's John Doe, this name game was a facebook thread yesterday
	11:26am Dean: Morton Feldman did a For Phillip Guston.
	11:27am coelacanth∅: many of the best jazz albums are live (the majority?)
	11:28am dano59: One of my faves, Dusty Springfield by The Haywains
	11:29am pgalub: Hey Joe. Sounding swell. Verlaine.verlaine.verlaine.verlaine...
	11:29am Joe McG: @dano59: Really? Missed it! Got the Haywains on a previous edition. Also blew that Wreckless/Amy Rigby segue! She has one called "Robert Altman" that I've got here....
	11:29am Dean: No doubt, Laura. Many fewer shows in recent years, and so my ears are open to the next best thing. But I also think the factors I didn't like about live records long ago--the sloppiness, the extraneous noises--I now favor. Bill Evans' Waltz for Debby, for example, is all the better because of the sound of clinking cocktail glasses.
	11:29am Joe McG: Hey Pete! Verlaine, verlaine, verlaine!
	11:29am Laura in Peekskill: @coel: that makes sense.
	11:30am Laura in Peekskill: Come on--better than when some guy yells out "Whipping Post"? I sincerely doubt it.
	👻 11:31am tim from champaign (now washington): Is Billy Hunt of the Jam song fictional?
	11:31am Dean: Waltz for Debby would be so much better if somebody yelled out "Whipping Post," OMG.
	11:32am Laura in Peekskill: Most live songs would be.
	11:33am coelacanth∅: hahaha
	11:33am Laura in Peekskill: Actually, the idea of that makes me feel like I've been tied to the whipping post FOR REAL.
	11:34am Laura in Peekskill: (ouch)
	11:34am David (in London): Dean, I always liked Mark Hollis' single solo album for that reason. You can hear his guitar stool squeak it's so intimate.
	11:35am Rachel Bo Bachel: Coelacantho thx that’s good news!
	11:35am Dean: Fly away, Free Bird! Townes Van Zandt's live album from Houston is also really well recorded. You can hear the space surrounding him. For that matter, so is Leo Kottke's live album from Denver.
	11:36am Yes: relaxing tunes. thanks joe
	👻 11:36am tim from champaign (now washington): My favorite (and greatest of all time) live album is Nugent's "Double Live Gonzos". That album is so over the top. Yes, feel free to heckle me, I deserve it. I do not support Nugent's wacked out ideas and garbage talk. I took me way too long to finally ditch my Nugent records. Nugent turned into a guilty pleasure for me because I genuinely felt guilty for loving his music and hanging on to his records.
	11:37am coelacanth∅: -and Neil Young's "will to Love", recorded next to a roaring fire
	11:37am Mike W: @JoeMcG is Barbara Manning’s “Mark E. Smith and Brix” two much?
	👻 11:37am Brian in UK: Joe @ 11:29. Do not beat yourself up, you seem to be getting the hang of this disc jockey malarkey!!
	11:37am Rachel Bo Bachel: Laura in Peekskill: my dad, who grew up in NYC during the 60s-70s, says he used to hear that guy at so many concerts! Is that in a live album somewhere? He would get a kick out of hearing that I bet!
	11:37am coelacanth∅: if whipping post is the new freebird i'm all for it
	👻 11:38am Brian in UK: @Dean, just leave Towne's taste in jokes behind.
	11:39am Laura in Peekskill: @Rachel--which guy? The one who yells out "Whipping Post"?
	👻 11:40am YETI BOB: Minor correction - Dodecahedrane is C20H20 not C12, so it's a hydrocarbon, not a carbon allotrope. We regret the error.
	11:41am Rachel Bo Bachel: Yes Laura my dad used to go to lots of rock shows and that guy was at a ton of them, yelling out that request! He was pre-“Freebird”!
	11:41am David (in London): Mm, we could have 'Willie Nelson' by Miles Davis. And 'John McLaughlin', too.
	11:41am Joe McG: I once played "Whipping Post" for an hour on this radio show. I think I'd just broken up with someone.
	11:41am Joe McG: @David: Did I do "Willie" by Miles last time? I think so?
	11:43am Laura in Peekskill: @Joe McG: did that person get the hint? @Rachel: Wow, I have no idea. Could it really have been only one person? Maybe it was a carefully planned conspiracy.
	11:43am Rachel Bo Bachel: Jooooeee *hugs* Once again, this show has been such a joy! Thank you for all you do! I owe you a pledge! :)
	11:43am Ike: Has Willie Nelson ever covered that one? It would be especially sad if Willie Nelson himself was singing about when he himself was his only friend.
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: Joe, was it Billy Preston by Miles D?
	11:44am Ike: If he put it on a self-titled album, he'd have a so-called "trifecta" that some of the DJs here like.
	11:44am Joe McG: @Laura: Nah, she dropped me like a bad habit.
	11:45am coelacanth∅: tim -negent's had some pretty stellar musical moments, despite less-than-stellar socio-political ones! stranglehold is killer and some of the amboy dukes songs are excellent
	11:45am Jeffrey Davison: All of these People You May Know shows have been great. Inspired programming. This set is amazing.
	11:45am Reno D: @Rachel, prosthetic wrinkles and an old WFMU t-shirt should do it.
	11:45am Rachel Bo Bachel: Laura it was apparently this one dude! What album is it recorded on?? I gotta play it for him. He’s an FMU fan too, he used to listen to JM in the AM and now he’s a Wake and Bake “glistener”!
	11:46am Dean: Will have to explore that live Nugent album. Townes' jokes, right, an acquired taste. Same for some of Leo's. I remember when Waiting for Columbus came out. I was not impressed. Since then I've seen (or heard) the light. Odd, because not long after Allman Brothers' Fillmore East was issued I heard it c/o a friend's older siblings and I thought it was spectacular right from the get-go.
	11:46am Laura in Peekskill: It's on the Allmans' Live at the Fillmore, IIRC.
	11:47am Joe B: incredible show!
	11:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Joe B! Your "name" special last week was extra special. If you folks missed it, dial it up on the archive!
	11:49am Dean: Yes 'tis. I recall being in a record store in London, where they played the then recently issued live Michael Stanley Band Stage Pass. First I'd heard of the band. Blew me away.
	11:50am coelacanth∅: Allman's at the fillmore must be one of the best live albums of all time. both playing and recording/production.
	11:51am Laura in Peekskill: WHIPPING POST
	11:51am melinda: @Dean I love hearing clinking cocktail glasses in live recordings. In Janis Joplin's Turtle Blues you hear what sounds like a glass hitting the floor and breaking, better still.
	11:52am Joe McG: Thanks for your great suggestions today, folks. Sorry I couldn't get to all of them.
	11:53am David (in London): Great show today Joe. Though the omission of Boney M still hurts...
	11:53am Rachel Bo Bachel: Laura ohhh. This guy would yell “play whipping post!” At pretty much all rock shows, regardless of who was performing. So you are right, if it was an actual Allman Bros. show, it very well could have been someone else ;) I’ll play it for him anyway and see if he can tell by the voice!
	11:54am The Butterman: Whoa! There was a part of this song that I only know from Parliament-Funkadelic! Who got it from who?
	👻 11:54am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Joe! Super fun theme today an great choices.
	11:54am melinda: @David in London I love Rasputeen
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, commenting, and donating. See you next week for Singles Going Steaaaaady!
	👻 11:54am 12539: Thank you, Joe! Stay well everyone.
	11:55am radioronan: Thanks Joe !
	11:55am Dean: Right there, @melinda, is a theme for a show: tracks/albums with extraneous live sounds.
	11:56am David (in London): And of course on The Stooges' 'Metallic K.O.' live album you can hear the gentle clink of bowling balls and beer bottles as they hit the guitar strings...
	11:56am Dean: Playlist shows Carlos Santana & Buddy Miles Live!
	11:57am Hubig Pie: I be here really late, what's about The Replacements Alex Chilton ?
	11:59am John in Phoenixville: I was going to request “Dusty Springfield” by Blossom Dearie, Joe! Should have known you’d get to it on your own. Thanks!!
	11:59am coelacanth∅: i think Joe played "Alex Chilton" last time he did one of these shows -?
	11:59am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe!
	6:36am Pamela Wyatt: Spirit raising show, Joe! Absolutely adore Santa Sprees....quite a recent discovery for me...wrote a longish review for the PROTEAN NORM blog about the album. Nice to hear Wreckless Eric on Joe Meek, too. Keep doin' what you're doin' PAM proteannorm.blogspot.com
	6:41am Pamela Wyatt: Santa Sprees also have songs called 'Phil Spector' and 'Robert Bresson' santasprees.bandcamp.com...
