	12:18pm pgalub: Hey Pseu and everyone! Yay Sneetches!
	12:18pm Faux Jean: The controller is Pseu. It’s a good place to be.
	12:20pm Chop Scott: Hello Pseu!
	12:25pm luka: love this young guv.
	12:28pm royvis: ¡Haha, Love you Pseu!
	12:28pm nathan: that was nice! kinda Teenage Fanclubby
	12:29pm vinylmonkee: Just in time for the first mic break!
	12:31pm prudy: Pseu...the things weigh so heavy on our minds...
	12:33pm PJ: I finished the first episode of Get Back, and I was exhausted, so I can imagine how the Beatles felt. Jackson could easily have cut 30-45 minutes out of that episode and it would not have been missed.
	12:34pm Krys O.: Omni Kraan Love ya, Pseu.
	12:34pm Listener Robert: Just break it down: o micron, a little "o". As opposed to o mega, a big "o".
	12:35pm Fuzzy: Nomnomnom (Cookie Monster variant)
	12:35pm prudy: Pseu...I've got the rage about the covidiots...
	12:35pm Krys O.: Riffing on the Kraan prog band name. HA! You're right!
	12:36pm ?: Omicron It means little o as.. Omega means BiG O in the Greek alphabet. As in micron and a small measurement and mega is a large thing ...anywho
	12:36pm Beast of Boonton: and gas prices too
	12:38pm Krys O.: Young Michael Lindsay-Hogg has a bit o' LaZar in him too. Okay, howzabout Ah, muh Kraan?
	12:38pm Planet Tyler: The Beatles were also not even 30 yet....
	12:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: I just realized today is a palindrome day: 12/02/2021 ... 12022021.
	12:39pm PJ: @Krys: Lindsay-Hogg is definitely the most annoying (and ineffectual) character in the movie so far.
	12:40pm ?: It's all in the twentieth century Time capsule now. As is all our favorite 20th century music
	12:40pm PJ: George was 25.
	12:40pm Morgan: pseu excellent review
	12:41pm prudy: 26? you're being generous...
	12:41pm phat in Lincoln: I'll probably watch this this weekend.
	12:41pm Krys O.: Had access to a lot of Beatles bootleg videos in the late 80s/early 90s to varying degrees of quality. I will eventually watch Get Back. Don't have Disney Plus. The brain might not be fully developed until 27 or so, I hear.
	12:42pm Pseu Braun: George=25 thanks, PJ. A baby I say!
	12:43pm JG: Totally wrong about Harrison. He played from a position of strength. He knew he could do whatever he wanted- record with his mates if he felt like it, or record his songs on his own, which he ultimately did. But when he had enough of the lads and left, they begged him to come back.
	12:45pm Krys O.: @JG: You're describing George's inner strength, but socially he deferred to the de facto leaders of the band.
	12:46pm Morgan: isnt it a pity…
	12:46pm Krys O.: Ah, thanks for the Game Theory, Pseu. xxxooo
	12:46pm Pseu Braun: respected as a musician in the band, BUT when he left that day it really rubbed Paul the wrong way. If you have a grudge against you from the top, you get dissed.
	12:47pm ?: Great Shades of Newell
	12:47pm Pseu Braun: plus, they were ready to call CLAPTON, which was fking hilarious, and a f-u to George.
	12:48pm phat in Lincoln: I didn't grow up until probably sometime last year.
	12:48pm PJ: One thing that it's hard for someone outside to comprehend is that, for someone in a group that is really good, who has never been in a group that is bad, or just not as good, is that they have little or no idea what it is to make music without the support of their fellow band members, so the decision to break-up, or leave, or kick a band member out, doesn't carry nearly the weight it does for someone who is a fan. Joe Strummer said that he had no idea what a great band he had had until they kicked out Topper and then Mick.
	12:49pm JG: @ Krys, yeah that's true. Just meant he wasn't weak. But in terms of leadership, you can't compare him to ,say, Paul. Paul seemed godlike in the movie. Like his style of leadership or not, he was leading and he was glowing with not only talent but authority
	12:49pm phat in Lincoln: Also, I still can't believe Donette Thayer lives here now, speaking of Game Theory.
	12:50pm Morgan: imagine trying to lead those 2 bobbleheads though
	12:50pm Brian in New Orleans: Given their fame and accomplishments I'm surprised the sessions went as well as they did. Sure "Get Back" isnt Paul's best but it was fascinating to see Paul create that while being bothered by that dude about that ridiculous outdoor concert when Paul was creating on the Piano
	12:50pm phat in Lincoln: @PJ choosing to leave a good band is also really difficult.
	12:51pm Morgan: man could lose a finger
	12:51pm karlward: I loved what Pseu said about the McCartney show, "listen people, maybe there just aren't any new Paul McCartney stories."
	12:52pm PJ: @phat: Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that any of the Beatles took it lightly. Just that the finality of it, and what they will be missing, doesn't hit until later.
	12:53pm phat in Lincoln: @PJ oh, definitely.
	12:53pm Krys O.: YAY, Pugwash! Thomas Walsh is doing some home concerts in the States right now.
	12:54pm Pseu Braun: 64.media.tumblr.com...
	12:56pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	12:57pm JG: RIP Big Ragu
	12:57pm PJ: @JG - I disagree on Paul's "godlike" status, but he was just filling a void, since Epstein died, that they all recognized but no one else was willing to fill. They could have hired another manager (who, I have no idea, and given their choice of Klein later, would they have made a wise choice in 1967?) but they didn't, until their problems became intractable. John could have stepped up - and you can see the others wanting him to be more of a presence (maybe he could have been a "co-captain" with Paul?) - but he clearly didn't want to deal with it.
	12:58pm phat in Lincoln: Gee whiz
	12:58pm Morgan: you know id go from rags to riches…
	12:59pm PJ: @Pseu: spot on with the Glyn Johns/LaZar resemblance.
	1:00pm Krys O.: Paul & Linda were urging the rest of the band to get behind Linda's father counter to John & Yoko's choice of Allen Klein.
	1:00pm JG: LAst time I looked, the lenny and the squidtones album was real hard to find
	1:01pm Morgan: JG i had no idea how highbrow the history of the Squigtones was
	1:01pm Krys O.: The Credibility Gap were sadly overlooked.
	1:02pm PJ: @Krys: The problem with Linda's father, from the others' perspective, is that, even if they thought he would be a better manager (and a rotting skunk corpse would have been better than Klein), they would assume he would be taking Paul's side all the time.
	1:03pm Krys O.: Indeed, PJ.
	1:06pm JG: @PJ, I thought, as an outsider looking in, "godlike", because to use another metaphor he had , of the four superstars, the biggest gravitational force. Everybody else was to some extent in his orbit. He shined the brightest.
	1:06pm PJ: @Pseu: re the Beatles as followers, their gullibility (or credulity, to put a better spin on it) with people like the Maharishi, Magic Alex, Klein, et al., shows how they had really been sheltered by Epstein, and when that protection was removed, they were going to learn the hard way just how far peace and love alone will get you.
	1:06pm mndave: Allyson Seconds really reminds me of Juliana Hatfield. digging it!
	1:07pm Morgan: all the worst spinoff characters of my childhood were brilliant performers
	1:09pm JG: What Kinks song did Pseu sneak in on us?
	1:12pm Pseu Braun: PJ I disagree about being "sheltered", a manager's job is to protect them from financial predators and to steer them into opportunity
	1:12pm Martymull: JG thanks for asking, wondering that myself. Sounds like yet another obscure gem from Sir Raymond.
	1:13pm Krys O.: Two Sisters
	1:13pm PJ: @JG: I've only seen the first episode, but, from that, Paul definitely seems to bringing more to the table songwise (even if I don't care that much for a lot of them), but that's partly because no one else wants to listen to George, who is actually writing the best of their songs in this period (though the public won't get to hear most of them until Abbey Road and All Things Must Pass). But he needs someone like Lennon to check him, because a lot of his ideas are not that good (Maxwell's Silver Hammer, christ) and need to be developed or shut down. One of the problems is that Paul is the only one who has a lot of enthusiasm for this particular project. If they were less dismissive of George's songs, maybe he would bring more energy to the sessions.
	1:14pm Mike Sin: There was such a cool live clip of this Prince track that was shown quite a lot on MTV back in the day. One of my favorite tracks by him.
	1:15pm Pseu Braun: OMG. EP1only yeah, "GET B ACK" to us when you've watched the thing, dang,please..
	1:16pm Pseu Braun: hey Mike!
	1:17pm Pseu Braun: I my god I can't believe PJ has been going on like this on the board w/o having watched it, wtf YOU GUYS
	1:17pm Bob in DC: Great tone!
	1:17pm Krys O.: Very Peter Green-like.
	1:18pm PJ: @Pseu: Sure, but we can see how a lot of the Beatles business decisions they made after Epstein were bad for them. Part of that has to be because they never had to make those decisions before and didn't have anyone to advise them and were going on their "instincts", which were not so good. (And Epstein made a lot of not good business decisions too - on royalties and merch - when he was getting started with them.)
	1:18pm JG: PJ- Not sure if you've seen this part yet, (its surprising and awesome) but as another example of George's strength, they jam on some of All Things Must Pass. Paul has suggestions and they sort of take the song in another direction, and not the right direction. George doesn't get indignant or object the way I think Paul would have if the roles were reversed, but simply shrugs them of. He must figured, F it, I'll just put this on my own album which thankfully he did
	1:18pm Pseu Braun: blahblahblah PJ only talking about the show, save the Beatles stuff for reddit wankers.
	1:19pm PJ: @Pseu - What, you want me to watch the whole thing before adding my comments? It wouldn't be the Internet without uninformed comments!
	1:20pm Krys O.: @Mike Sin: My memory is hazy, but is that the video with audience participation?
	1:20pm Pseu Braun: Peter Green = The Magic Christian + Twickenham
	1:22pm Mike Sin: I loved "Get Back" from start to finish, but then I have been a hopeless nerded-out BeatlesGeek for decades now. I'm amazed to see folks rank on Michael Lindsay-Hogg -- The Beatles pulled such a "bait and switch" on this guy! This guy was called in to direct TV special with the main focus on the very visual and anticipated live concert -- He originally figured the rehearsing footage would such a small part of the whole broadcast -- he was thinking visually and was concentrating on the Beatles live at the venue and the fans and the build-up to that. I find the visual aspect of his videos for Paperback Writer, Rain, Hey Jude, and Revolution downright excellent!
	1:23pm PJ: @JG: Yeah, George had a different way of dealing with that than either Paul or John, maybe because he still felt like the little brother rather than an equal (viz his comments to Paul "I'll just play whatever you want").
	1:24pm Krys O.: The Magic Christian is my second all-time favorite film. As a kid, I saw it heavily edited on TV home sick from school. The Badfinger music was incredible and I loved all the British comedy greats like Spike, Peter, Cleese, etc. It inspired me to read the book and later saw the uncut version.
	1:25pm Krys O.: Exactly, Mike Sin. Lindsay-Hogg did Raady, Steady, Go and that was ahead of its time.
	1:25pm Krys O.: *Ready...
	1:27pm Krys O.: Funny to consider that both Hogg and Richard Lester were Americans who gained immense experience working in England.
	1:27pm Morgan: pseu @ 1:17 i love you
	1:27pm PJ: @Mike Sin: Completely agree with you. It's just that in the context of the doc, we just see him as a gadfly for a not well-thought-out project that the Beatles seem half-hearted out about.
	1:28pm Mike Sin: @Krys O re: Prince vid -- I just remember being a straight-up live version with Prince on the top of his game and the band really delivering.
	1:29pm Morgan: Krys the magic christian is nuts! i saw that much later after someone turned me on to terry southern
	1:31pm Krys O.: @Morgan: Where else would you see Yul Brynner in drag singing to Roman Polanski? That Hazelnuts was sweet, Pseu!
	1:32pm Listening Out There: Good program t'day...
	1:32pm Krys O.: PTA meetings....tee hee
	1:33pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Hi Pseu. Been listening...
	1:35pm Krys O.: I think there was a Beatles tie-in on an L&S episode? Or I'm just imagining that.
	1:35pm JG: Hogg's video for Child of the moon by the stones is my favorite. Gently creepy and dark blue in a uniquely 60s way
	1:35pm Morgan: the mid century modern
	1:36pm karlward: This is the best
	1:36pm karlward: Poodle skirts don't belong in middle school
	1:37pm dave wuz here: just had a drug orgy. way better than a sock hop. way better.
	1:37pm Krys O.: Of course there was a Beatles connection with L&S: www.meetthebeatlesforreal.com...
	1:37pm Rick A: Hi Pseu and All, you didn't know a poodle skirt though you were hip to drug orgies, right on!
	1:37pm Sean Fahrrad: Part of the 70s adoration of the 50s was a backlash to civil rights And wanting to go back to a whiter simpler time
	1:37pm Fishtown Mike: FYI, Todd-o-Phonic had a fascinating ready steady go special with multiple interviews including Hogg. www.wfmu.org... But listen after Pseu's show!
	1:37pm Morgan: krys that wouldve blown my little mind. pseu like madmen too. great show but
	1:38pm phat in Lincoln: Lol. The 50s revival in the 70s was pretty terrible mostly. Like that "Won't You Say" refrain in Jackson Browne's Loadout is peak awfulness. Makes angry, even.
	1:39pm Rick A: Then in the 90s, the 70s were cool: Dazed and Confused, Boogie Nights, The People Vs. Larry Flynt, the latter two equating the 70s with drug orgies.
	1:40pm PaulRobeson1920: Hi Hi Hi Pseu & Music LoVers!
	1:40pm Blacktooth: Nostalgia vampires are responsible for 90% of the worlds problems.
	1:41pm eastvanhalen: Did someone say "drone endlessly"? That's my cue! Morning all!
	1:41pm Blacktooth: The other 10% of the worlds problems were caused by The Beatles
	1:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: SV filled in for Zoe the other night. It was a good show.
	1:43pm Ike: Agreed, that fill-in by SV was great! Here's the link for anybody who wants to bookmark it and listen later: www.wfmu.org...
	1:46pm Pseu Braun: Thanks, Ike!
	1:46pm Pseu Braun: hahaha @Blacktooth
	1:46pm phat in Lincoln: Therese played this Blunstone last night. I'm totally here for this. I need more Blunstone in my life.
	1:48pm Dayffid: The best bit was when George said he wanted to buy black leather shoes. Such an insight!
	1:48pm Fishtown Mike: This Blunstone song is so timeless, hard to believe it's 50 years old. A perfect brittle pop gem.
	1:49pm Planet Tyler: O so nice! I listened to Colin Bluntstone a lot over T*G. Heard him here first!!
	1:54pm Mike Sin: Colin Blunstones "One Year" LP is one of those LPs that was in every bargain bin for decades, but then gained such notoriety after it was "reassessed" and folks started listening. I basically picked it up originally because I was such a Zombies fan and it was cheap as hell... what a gem!
	1:54pm Krys O.: I hear ya, Mike Sin. I love Ennismore too.
	1:56pm HyperDose: This is like the musical equivalent of the sun coming out after it rains 😍
	1:56pm Stevel: Misheard lyric of the day: poly styrene the day that time forgot /Debutante for God. Perhaps its nap time.
	1:57pm phat in Lincoln: I need to get the hell out of the house.
	1:57pm dave wuz here: best just like heaven version. fight me.
	1:58pm HyperDose: @dave wuz here I consume the Goldfinger version on a weekly basis
	2:01pm Fishtown Mike: @dave, Dino Jr does a fine version and they closed their Philly show with it to boot including the abrupt stop...but I'm a lover not a fighter.
	2:06pm Krys O.: Love Somerville!
	2:15pm eastvanhalen: ok I've been dancing around my living room, might as well admit it
	2:16pm eastvanhalen: Also there is sunshine here after interminable heavy rain. Happy.
	2:16pm KWilde: Everybody skate!
	2:21pm prof.fuzz: Knock knock. "Good afternoon, do you have a few minutes to talk about Lydia Lunch?"
	2:25pm Michele with One "L": YES such good stuff on the store! wfmu.store
	2:25pm Krys O.: I heart the WFMU Store.
	2:27pm Mister Dobalina: Sore leftie as well, also slept 14 hours after getting booster'd yesterday.
	2:28pm Krys O.: Going for Moderna #3 tomorrow.
	2:29pm eastvanhalen: I have a lot of merch, but my favourite thing was that time they made the bumper stickers big enough to label the size of a cube truck by accident
	2:30pm Ike: Pseu's advice to massage the boostered arm worked for me.
	2:31pm eastvanhalen: My moderna booster knocked me on my ass. It was a good thing. And then I went to DOA playing Hardcore 81 and I wanted to hug everyone there and I might actually have cried a little.
	2:31pm Morgan: babies pseu, big diarrhea babies
	2:32pm HyperDose: How can my boostered self go out and feel good about it if I have nowhere to go? Tell you what, Pseu. I'll admit Central Jersey exists in exchange for a ticket (and to not have you strike me). Deal?
	2:32pm James Douglas: Pseu, did you know that "Omicron" is an anagram for "Moronic"? I was told it was chosen for the anti-vaxxers.
	2:33pm dale: herro dere. i remember my fascination with 40s and 50s clothing in the 70s, 60s in the 80s and 70s in the 90s. but that was based on old people dying and their clothes getting donated to the salvation army. i just logged in so don't yell at me pseu - 'WE'VE MOVED ON.'
	2:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Pfizer booster yesterday. Arm is a little sore. Feeling fine otherwise. Body is ready to start stomping on virus particles should they enter the vicinity.
	2:34pm dale: ....although i never got the 70s fascination with vaudeville style entertainment. the osmonds singing down by the lazy river with jimmy on banjo was just crap.
	2:36pm BNowB.: Elliott <3 <3 <3
	2:38pm Pseu Braun: I LOVE THESE COMMENTS ALL ...
	2:42pm Morgan: the childrens shows in the 70s ruled though. they had weird acid nostalgia like the three robotic stooges. what even was that
	2:42pm HyperDose: Getting Bob Welch solo vibes from this 💜
	2:43pm Morgan: awww apple scruffs
	2:45pm Krys O.: Sweeeeeeeet! <3 George, George, George, George
	2:45pm jamesegio: pretty much hate music docs. people always talking over performance footage. also, sometimes takes away from mystery /magic of the music/musicians. i enjoy more not knowing.
	2:45pm ?: Flow my tears the policeman said
	2:48pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu! xxxooo
	2:49pm phat in Lincoln: Holy crap, the Billy Preston track rocked.
	2:49pm Krys O.: Swooooon.....
	2:50pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Oh, I Love Mary Hopkin!! Good bye Pseu & thanks!
	2:50pm Fishtown Mike: Thanks for a great show Pseu!
	2:51pm thatpatsmith: Yay
	2:52pm BNowB.: Thanks for a great show really enjoyed it. Just got home from booster, ready to go see some live music. This show made my day, so good.
	2:54pm morphe': Wow ... a Paul McCarthey song I like !!! Thanks Pseu and all !!!!!
	2:54pm cherry1998: ty pseu. love the yoko and that beautiful mary hopkin song
	2:55pm HyperDose: See you at the show BNowB! \m/
	2:55pm BNowB.: Heck yea Hyper sounds good mi amigo
	2:55pm Todd76Pct: Thanks for another great show, Pseu! It was the lift I needed today!
	2:57pm morphe': Creeks and Kills (K8/B/8??) is playing 11Dec at Wonderville in Bklyn 9pm NO COVER!!!!!!
	2:57pm dale: i liked that album he did around 2000 - in my life. who knew goldie hawn had a nice singing voice?
	2:57pm Mister Dobalina: Fun show as always, Pseu. You're a gem in the rough, don't ever change.
	2:57pm eastvanhalen: Thanks, Pseu! xx
	2:57pm Morgan: thank you Pseu! be safe
	2:58pm radioronan: Thanks Pseu!

	12:33pm PJ: I finished the first episode of Get Back, and I was exhausted, so I can imagine how the Beatles felt. Jackson could easily have cut 30-45 minutes out of that episode and it would not have been missed.
	12:34pm Krys O.: Omni Kraan Love ya, Pseu.
	12:34pm Listener Robert: Just break it down: o micron, a little "o". As opposed to o mega, a big "o".
	12:35pm Fuzzy: Nomnomnom (Cookie Monster variant)
	12:35pm prudy: Pseu...I've got the rage about the covidiots...
	12:35pm Krys O.: Riffing on the Kraan prog band name. HA! You're right!
	12:36pm ?: Omicron It means little o as.. Omega means BiG O in the Greek alphabet. As in micron and a small measurement and mega is a large thing ...anywho
	12:36pm Beast of Boonton: and gas prices too
	12:38pm Krys O.: Young Michael Lindsay-Hogg has a bit o' LaZar in him too. Okay, howzabout Ah, muh Kraan?
	12:38pm Planet Tyler: The Beatles were also not even 30 yet....
	12:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: I just realized today is a palindrome day: 12/02/2021 ... 12022021.
	12:39pm PJ: @Krys: Lindsay-Hogg is definitely the most annoying (and ineffectual) character in the movie so far.
	12:40pm ?: It's all in the twentieth century Time capsule now. As is all our favorite 20th century music
	12:40pm PJ: George was 25.
	12:40pm Morgan: pseu excellent review
	12:41pm prudy: 26? you're being generous...
	12:41pm phat in Lincoln: I'll probably watch this this weekend.
	12:41pm Krys O.: Had access to a lot of Beatles bootleg videos in the late 80s/early 90s to varying degrees of quality. I will eventually watch Get Back. Don't have Disney Plus. The brain might not be fully developed until 27 or so, I hear.
	12:42pm Pseu Braun: George=25 thanks, PJ. A baby I say!
	12:43pm JG: Totally wrong about Harrison. He played from a position of strength. He knew he could do whatever he wanted- record with his mates if he felt like it, or record his songs on his own, which he ultimately did. But when he had enough of the lads and left, they begged him to come back.
	12:45pm Krys O.: @JG: You're describing George's inner strength, but socially he deferred to the de facto leaders of the band.
	12:46pm Morgan: isnt it a pity…
	12:46pm Krys O.: Ah, thanks for the Game Theory, Pseu. xxxooo
	12:46pm Pseu Braun: respected as a musician in the band, BUT when he left that day it really rubbed Paul the wrong way. If you have a grudge against you from the top, you get dissed.
	12:47pm ?: Great Shades of Newell
	12:47pm Pseu Braun: plus, they were ready to call CLAPTON, which was fking hilarious, and a f-u to George.
	12:48pm phat in Lincoln: I didn't grow up until probably sometime last year.
	12:48pm PJ: One thing that it's hard for someone outside to comprehend is that, for someone in a group that is really good, who has never been in a group that is bad, or just not as good, is that they have little or no idea what it is to make music without the support of their fellow band members, so the decision to break-up, or leave, or kick a band member out, doesn't carry nearly the weight it does for someone who is a fan. Joe Strummer said that he had no idea what a great band he had had until they kicked out Topper and then Mick.
	12:49pm JG: @ Krys, yeah that's true. Just meant he wasn't weak. But in terms of leadership, you can't compare him to ,say, Paul. Paul seemed godlike in the movie. Like his style of leadership or not, he was leading and he was glowing with not only talent but authority
	12:49pm phat in Lincoln: Also, I still can't believe Donette Thayer lives here now, speaking of Game Theory.
	12:50pm Morgan: imagine trying to lead those 2 bobbleheads though
	12:50pm Brian in New Orleans: Given their fame and accomplishments I'm surprised the sessions went as well as they did. Sure "Get Back" isnt Paul's best but it was fascinating to see Paul create that while being bothered by that dude about that ridiculous outdoor concert when Paul was creating on the Piano
	12:50pm phat in Lincoln: @PJ choosing to leave a good band is also really difficult.
	12:51pm Morgan: man could lose a finger
	12:51pm karlward: I loved what Pseu said about the McCartney show, "listen people, maybe there just aren't any new Paul McCartney stories."
	12:52pm PJ: @phat: Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that any of the Beatles took it lightly. Just that the finality of it, and what they will be missing, doesn't hit until later.
	12:53pm phat in Lincoln: @PJ oh, definitely.
	12:53pm Krys O.: YAY, Pugwash! Thomas Walsh is doing some home concerts in the States right now.
	12:54pm Pseu Braun: 64.media.tumblr.com...
	12:56pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	12:57pm JG: RIP Big Ragu
	12:57pm PJ: @JG - I disagree on Paul's "godlike" status, but he was just filling a void, since Epstein died, that they all recognized but no one else was willing to fill. They could have hired another manager (who, I have no idea, and given their choice of Klein later, would they have made a wise choice in 1967?) but they didn't, until their problems became intractable. John could have stepped up - and you can see the others wanting him to be more of a presence (maybe he could have been a "co-captain" with Paul?) - but he clearly didn't want to deal with it.
	12:58pm phat in Lincoln: Gee whiz
	12:58pm Morgan: you know id go from rags to riches…
	12:59pm PJ: @Pseu: spot on with the Glyn Johns/LaZar resemblance.
	1:00pm Krys O.: Paul & Linda were urging the rest of the band to get behind Linda's father counter to John & Yoko's choice of Allen Klein.
	1:00pm JG: LAst time I looked, the lenny and the squidtones album was real hard to find
	1:01pm Morgan: JG i had no idea how highbrow the history of the Squigtones was
	1:01pm Krys O.: The Credibility Gap were sadly overlooked.
	1:02pm PJ: @Krys: The problem with Linda's father, from the others' perspective, is that, even if they thought he would be a better manager (and a rotting skunk corpse would have been better than Klein), they would assume he would be taking Paul's side all the time.
	1:03pm Krys O.: Indeed, PJ.
	1:06pm JG: @PJ, I thought, as an outsider looking in, "godlike", because to use another metaphor he had , of the four superstars, the biggest gravitational force. Everybody else was to some extent in his orbit. He shined the brightest.
	1:06pm PJ: @Pseu: re the Beatles as followers, their gullibility (or credulity, to put a better spin on it) with people like the Maharishi, Magic Alex, Klein, et al., shows how they had really been sheltered by Epstein, and when that protection was removed, they were going to learn the hard way just how far peace and love alone will get you.
	1:06pm mndave: Allyson Seconds really reminds me of Juliana Hatfield. digging it!
	1:07pm Morgan: all the worst spinoff characters of my childhood were brilliant performers
	1:09pm JG: What Kinks song did Pseu sneak in on us?
	1:12pm Pseu Braun: PJ I disagree about being "sheltered", a manager's job is to protect them from financial predators and to steer them into opportunity
	1:12pm Martymull: JG thanks for asking, wondering that myself. Sounds like yet another obscure gem from Sir Raymond.
	1:13pm Krys O.: Two Sisters
	1:13pm PJ: @JG: I've only seen the first episode, but, from that, Paul definitely seems to bringing more to the table songwise (even if I don't care that much for a lot of them), but that's partly because no one else wants to listen to George, who is actually writing the best of their songs in this period (though the public won't get to hear most of them until Abbey Road and All Things Must Pass). But he needs someone like Lennon to check him, because a lot of his ideas are not that good (Maxwell's Silver Hammer, christ) and need to be developed or shut down. One of the problems is that Paul is the only one who has a lot of enthusiasm for this particular project. If they were less dismissive of George's songs, maybe he would bring more energy to the sessions.
	1:14pm Mike Sin: There was such a cool live clip of this Prince track that was shown quite a lot on MTV back in the day. One of my favorite tracks by him.
	1:15pm Pseu Braun: OMG. EP1only yeah, "GET B ACK" to us when you've watched the thing, dang,please..
	1:16pm Pseu Braun: hey Mike!
	1:17pm Pseu Braun: I my god I can't believe PJ has been going on like this on the board w/o having watched it, wtf YOU GUYS
	1:17pm Bob in DC: Great tone!
	1:17pm Krys O.: Very Peter Green-like.
	1:18pm PJ: @Pseu: Sure, but we can see how a lot of the Beatles business decisions they made after Epstein were bad for them. Part of that has to be because they never had to make those decisions before and didn't have anyone to advise them and were going on their "instincts", which were not so good. (And Epstein made a lot of not good business decisions too - on royalties and merch - when he was getting started with them.)
	1:18pm JG: PJ- Not sure if you've seen this part yet, (its surprising and awesome) but as another example of George's strength, they jam on some of All Things Must Pass. Paul has suggestions and they sort of take the song in another direction, and not the right direction. George doesn't get indignant or object the way I think Paul would have if the roles were reversed, but simply shrugs them of. He must figured, F it, I'll just put this on my own album which thankfully he did
	1:18pm Pseu Braun: blahblahblah PJ only talking about the show, save the Beatles stuff for reddit wankers.
	1:19pm PJ: @Pseu - What, you want me to watch the whole thing before adding my comments? It wouldn't be the Internet without uninformed comments!
	1:20pm Krys O.: @Mike Sin: My memory is hazy, but is that the video with audience participation?
	1:20pm Pseu Braun: Peter Green = The Magic Christian + Twickenham
	1:22pm Mike Sin: I loved "Get Back" from start to finish, but then I have been a hopeless nerded-out BeatlesGeek for decades now. I'm amazed to see folks rank on Michael Lindsay-Hogg -- The Beatles pulled such a "bait and switch" on this guy! This guy was called in to direct TV special with the main focus on the very visual and anticipated live concert -- He originally figured the rehearsing footage would such a small part of the whole broadcast -- he was thinking visually and was concentrating on the Beatles live at the venue and the fans and the build-up to that. I find the visual aspect of his videos for Paperback Writer, Rain, Hey Jude, and Revolution downright excellent!
	1:23pm PJ: @JG: Yeah, George had a different way of dealing with that than either Paul or John, maybe because he still felt like the little brother rather than an equal (viz his comments to Paul "I'll just play whatever you want").
	1:24pm Krys O.: The Magic Christian is my second all-time favorite film. As a kid, I saw it heavily edited on TV home sick from school. The Badfinger music was incredible and I loved all the British comedy greats like Spike, Peter, Cleese, etc. It inspired me to read the book and later saw the uncut version.
	1:25pm Krys O.: Exactly, Mike Sin. Lindsay-Hogg did Raady, Steady, Go and that was ahead of its time.
	1:25pm Krys O.: *Ready...
	1:27pm Krys O.: Funny to consider that both Hogg and Richard Lester were Americans who gained immense experience working in England.
	1:27pm Morgan: pseu @ 1:17 i love you
	1:27pm PJ: @Mike Sin: Completely agree with you. It's just that in the context of the doc, we just see him as a gadfly for a not well-thought-out project that the Beatles seem half-hearted out about.
	1:28pm Mike Sin: @Krys O re: Prince vid -- I just remember being a straight-up live version with Prince on the top of his game and the band really delivering.
	1:29pm Morgan: Krys the magic christian is nuts! i saw that much later after someone turned me on to terry southern
	1:31pm Krys O.: @Morgan: Where else would you see Yul Brynner in drag singing to Roman Polanski? That Hazelnuts was sweet, Pseu!
	1:32pm Listening Out There: Good program t'day...
	1:32pm Krys O.: PTA meetings....tee hee
	1:33pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Hi Pseu. Been listening...
	1:35pm Krys O.: I think there was a Beatles tie-in on an L&S episode? Or I'm just imagining that.
	1:35pm JG: Hogg's video for Child of the moon by the stones is my favorite. Gently creepy and dark blue in a uniquely 60s way
	1:35pm Morgan: the mid century modern
	1:36pm karlward: This is the best
	1:36pm karlward: Poodle skirts don't belong in middle school
	1:37pm dave wuz here: just had a drug orgy. way better than a sock hop. way better.
	1:37pm Krys O.: Of course there was a Beatles connection with L&S: www.meetthebeatlesforreal.com...
	1:37pm Rick A: Hi Pseu and All, you didn't know a poodle skirt though you were hip to drug orgies, right on!
	1:37pm Sean Fahrrad: Part of the 70s adoration of the 50s was a backlash to civil rights And wanting to go back to a whiter simpler time
	1:37pm Fishtown Mike: FYI, Todd-o-Phonic had a fascinating ready steady go special with multiple interviews including Hogg. www.wfmu.org... But listen after Pseu's show!
	1:37pm Morgan: krys that wouldve blown my little mind. pseu like madmen too. great show but
	1:38pm phat in Lincoln: Lol. The 50s revival in the 70s was pretty terrible mostly. Like that "Won't You Say" refrain in Jackson Browne's Loadout is peak awfulness. Makes angry, even.
	1:39pm Rick A: Then in the 90s, the 70s were cool: Dazed and Confused, Boogie Nights, The People Vs. Larry Flynt, the latter two equating the 70s with drug orgies.
	1:40pm PaulRobeson1920: Hi Hi Hi Pseu & Music LoVers!
	1:40pm Blacktooth: Nostalgia vampires are responsible for 90% of the worlds problems.
	1:41pm eastvanhalen: Did someone say "drone endlessly"? That's my cue! Morning all!
	1:41pm Blacktooth: The other 10% of the worlds problems were caused by The Beatles
	1:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: SV filled in for Zoe the other night. It was a good show.
	1:43pm Ike: Agreed, that fill-in by SV was great! Here's the link for anybody who wants to bookmark it and listen later: www.wfmu.org...
	1:46pm Pseu Braun: Thanks, Ike!
	1:46pm Pseu Braun: hahaha @Blacktooth
	1:46pm phat in Lincoln: Therese played this Blunstone last night. I'm totally here for this. I need more Blunstone in my life.
	1:48pm Dayffid: The best bit was when George said he wanted to buy black leather shoes. Such an insight!
	1:48pm Fishtown Mike: This Blunstone song is so timeless, hard to believe it's 50 years old. A perfect brittle pop gem.
	1:49pm Planet Tyler: O so nice! I listened to Colin Bluntstone a lot over T*G. Heard him here first!!
	1:54pm Mike Sin: Colin Blunstones "One Year" LP is one of those LPs that was in every bargain bin for decades, but then gained such notoriety after it was "reassessed" and folks started listening. I basically picked it up originally because I was such a Zombies fan and it was cheap as hell... what a gem!
	1:54pm Krys O.: I hear ya, Mike Sin. I love Ennismore too.
	1:56pm HyperDose: This is like the musical equivalent of the sun coming out after it rains 😍
	1:56pm Stevel: Misheard lyric of the day: poly styrene the day that time forgot /Debutante for God. Perhaps its nap time.
	1:57pm phat in Lincoln: I need to get the hell out of the house.
	1:57pm dave wuz here: best just like heaven version. fight me.
	1:58pm HyperDose: @dave wuz here I consume the Goldfinger version on a weekly basis
	2:01pm Fishtown Mike: @dave, Dino Jr does a fine version and they closed their Philly show with it to boot including the abrupt stop...but I'm a lover not a fighter.
	2:06pm Krys O.: Love Somerville!
	2:15pm eastvanhalen: ok I've been dancing around my living room, might as well admit it
	2:16pm eastvanhalen: Also there is sunshine here after interminable heavy rain. Happy.
	2:16pm KWilde: Everybody skate!
	2:21pm prof.fuzz: Knock knock. "Good afternoon, do you have a few minutes to talk about Lydia Lunch?"
	2:25pm Michele with One "L": YES such good stuff on the store! wfmu.store
	2:25pm Krys O.: I heart the WFMU Store.
	2:27pm Mister Dobalina: Sore leftie as well, also slept 14 hours after getting booster'd yesterday.
	2:28pm Krys O.: Going for Moderna #3 tomorrow.
	2:29pm eastvanhalen: I have a lot of merch, but my favourite thing was that time they made the bumper stickers big enough to label the size of a cube truck by accident
	2:30pm Ike: Pseu's advice to massage the boostered arm worked for me.
	2:31pm eastvanhalen: My moderna booster knocked me on my ass. It was a good thing. And then I went to DOA playing Hardcore 81 and I wanted to hug everyone there and I might actually have cried a little.
	2:31pm Morgan: babies pseu, big diarrhea babies
	2:32pm HyperDose: How can my boostered self go out and feel good about it if I have nowhere to go? Tell you what, Pseu. I'll admit Central Jersey exists in exchange for a ticket (and to not have you strike me). Deal?
	2:32pm James Douglas: Pseu, did you know that "Omicron" is an anagram for "Moronic"? I was told it was chosen for the anti-vaxxers.
	2:33pm dale: herro dere. i remember my fascination with 40s and 50s clothing in the 70s, 60s in the 80s and 70s in the 90s. but that was based on old people dying and their clothes getting donated to the salvation army. i just logged in so don't yell at me pseu - 'WE'VE MOVED ON.'
	2:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Pfizer booster yesterday. Arm is a little sore. Feeling fine otherwise. Body is ready to start stomping on virus particles should they enter the vicinity.
	2:34pm dale: ....although i never got the 70s fascination with vaudeville style entertainment. the osmonds singing down by the lazy river with jimmy on banjo was just crap.
	2:36pm BNowB.: Elliott <3 <3 <3
	2:38pm Pseu Braun: I LOVE THESE COMMENTS ALL ...
	2:42pm Morgan: the childrens shows in the 70s ruled though. they had weird acid nostalgia like the three robotic stooges. what even was that
	2:42pm HyperDose: Getting Bob Welch solo vibes from this 💜
	2:43pm Morgan: awww apple scruffs
	2:45pm Krys O.: Sweeeeeeeet! <3 George, George, George, George
	2:45pm jamesegio: pretty much hate music docs. people always talking over performance footage. also, sometimes takes away from mystery /magic of the music/musicians. i enjoy more not knowing.
	2:45pm ?: Flow my tears the policeman said
	2:48pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu! xxxooo
	2:49pm phat in Lincoln: Holy crap, the Billy Preston track rocked.
	2:49pm Krys O.: Swooooon.....
	2:50pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Oh, I Love Mary Hopkin!! Good bye Pseu & thanks!

	2:57pm dale: i liked that album he did around 2000 - in my life. who knew goldie hawn had a nice singing voice?
	2:57pm Mister Dobalina: Fun show as always, Pseu. You're a gem in the rough, don't ever change.
	2:57pm eastvanhalen: Thanks, Pseu! xx
	2:57pm Morgan: thank you Pseu! be safe
