	11:01am Rabbitsmokinintheferns: Surface Noise, I laughed, I cried, I twitched and jerked.
	11:02am clarke: playing tom waits is like the bat signal for FuZZZZZ
	11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Ol' 55" by "Eric Andersen" Interesting when you separate the Form from the Content with Waits...
	11:02am Rich in Bristol: ↳ Song: "Ol' 55" by "Eric Andersen" 55 isn't that ol'
	11:03am clarke: 1955 is
	👻 11:04am Dan S: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:02 But 1955 is.
	11:04am Steve Del Sol: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:02 I think it is a nick name for the truck he was driving. AND it rhymed.
	11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ☕️☠️Saluting Thee Assemebled with thuh DeathWish Koffeez☠️☕️
	11:05am clarke: poor tom probably don't give a sHIT
	👻 11:06am Dan S: ↳ Steve Del Sol @11:04 I always thought he was referring to a 1955 model car.
	11:06am clarke: Joe - do you have Mr. Jaws on 45? (if ANYone does...)
	11:07am Cat Stacker: Jersey Girl and Downtown Train, they are both huge, IDK what your criteria for a hit is but . . . I'd say those are his more conventional "hits"
	11:07am clarke: ↳ Dan S @11:06 it was his old truck
	11:08am Cat Stacker: "Way Down in the Hole" was on the Wire, that counts . . ."What's He Building In There" was on "Barry" or some HBO show or something, wasn't it?
	11:08am Dean: And "This One's From the Heart" was from "From the Heart."
	👻 11:08am Dan S: ↳ clarke @11:07 OK, was that a pickup truck or more like an 18-wheeler?
	11:09am clarke: ↳ Dan S @11:08 ha ha ha, it was an old ford truck - there are some photos of waits in that truck
	11:09am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:09 pick-up

	11:11am newton: ↳ Dean @11:10 looks like a Decepticon
	11:11am Dean: (Though this is a Chevy.)
	11:11am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:11 i think tom's was a ford as there is mention of ford in another of his early tunes
	11:12am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:11 and he couldn't afford two vehicles (at the time)
	11:13am Dean: Waits spent part of his youth in my hometown, Whittier.
	11:13am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:13 yeah, wow! never been there, but i hear tis nice?
	11:14am Toothgrinder Tom: Re Calico Suit, have version, will travel.
	11:15am Dean: I enjoyed my time there, around forty years. But it's fairly quiet and staid, just over the border from OC. OTOH, it's east of East LA, and Whittier Blvd. runs right through it. Right now the city is all up at arms about the City Council's plan to raze 83 ficus trees that line the uptown main drag, Greenleaf Ave.
	11:16am clarke: save the trees!!!!
	11:16am Dean: Nice photo: https://enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=72ae9c88-e850-417a-ae8a-9bf06371fdf6
	11:17am newton: those are real nice trees
	11:17am Joe McG: ↳ Cat Stacker @11:07 Well, yeah, but again, for other artists.
	11:17am Dean: That theater at right? Used to be the Wardman Theater when I was a kid. I remember attending movies for $0.19! Later it turned into a Pussycat, which led to legal challenges.
	11:18am clarke: oh man, if they take down those trees.... huge sin.
	👻 11:18am tim: ↳ Song: "Theme from Electric Surfboard" by "Brother Jack M... I wonder if this recording is from the collection of the jazz club proprietor in Seattle who taped tones of shows. Like the live John coltrane that came out about 2 years ago.
	11:19am clarke: i mean, i don't get clear-cutting, in general, but there is NOTHING wrong with those trees.
	11:19am Dean: And notice from the story the reference to Lovell's Records, which has been in operation for ~70 years!
	11:19am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:19 because of your hard earned allowance
	11:20am Dean: Damn straight. I spent quality time...and quality dollars...at Lovell's.
	11:20am clarke: figured.
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Theme from Electric Surfboard" by "Brother Jack M... ...I think turning this up will go nicely with thuh Koffeez just now...
	11:21am clarke: "hey, i just got this thing called a wah-wah"
	11:21am Dean: Lovell's used to be an empire, with a second store way to the east in La Habra on Whittier Blvd. I remember first hearing Gentle Giant's Free Hand in that shop.
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim @11:18 Right ! Coltrane & Dolphy Live ...oh what's this old Tape here...
	11:23am clarke: so whittier goes all the way to the ocean, huh?
	11:23am Dean: "Recorded at The Gallery in Seattle, Washington on September 13, 1972."
	11:24am Dean: No, Whittier is inland, but if you take Whittier Blvd. east to Beach Blvd., then turn right and continue driving, you'll end up at Seal Beach.
	11:25am clarke: gotcha
	11:25am Toothgrinder Tom: Isn’t Whittier the home town of Richard Nixon? (I guess I could look this up but prefer to just freestyle.)
	11:26am clarke: u mean west tho??
	👻 11:26am Gregosaurus: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @11:25 Yep. Graduate of Whittier High.
	11:27am clarke: so san clemente was later, right?
	11:27am HyperDose: what a funky bunch!
	👻 11:27am Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: "Driptorch" by "Parlor Greens" HERE WE GO!!!! Noice!!!
	11:27am Dean: Kinda, Toothgrinder Tom. He was born in Yorba Linda, which is in OC, but went to school in Whittier and opened his first law practice there. I attended the same junior high, East Whittier, and college, Whittier College, as Dickie. Yes, San Clemente was the "Western White House."
	11:28am clarke: tricky!
	11:29am Dean: Been listening lately to Zappa & the Mothers, the Roxy tapes, including several versions of "Dickie's Such an Asshole."
	11:29am drr: ↳ Song: "Driptorch" by "Parlor Greens" Well, I really thought I was hearing the Meters, so, nice work.
	11:30am Steve Del Sol: ↳ Dan S @11:06 As I understand it, he was in the Navy, and became a tractor trailer driver after that. Perhaps the other way around. I hear that song in that context.
	11:30am drr: Wait I don't have WWOZ on, do I?
	11:30am Philip: awwwwwwwwww now. Damn
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Children of Stax...
	11:31am clarke: ↳ drr @11:30 no live wire
	11:32am Joe McG: I encourage all new bands to aspire to playing like the Meters!
	11:32am Steve Del Sol: ↳ Dean @11:13 Tom has said he used to listen to two radios at once.
	11:32am Toothgrinder Tom: Thanks @Dean. Mean to read a biography of him someday.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I suppose it's syncopated enuff to be like N'Orleans...
	11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I just like thinking of the MGs...
	👻 11:33am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Lotsapoppa" by "Mestizo Beat" that's a nice groove
	11:33am newton: I had an MG, great fun when it worked
	11:34am newton: ↳ newton @11:33 it had an 8-track!
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Lotsapoppa" by "Mestizo Beat" ...betcha PaulWeller likes this...
	11:35am Dean: Nixon remains a fascinating character. Well worth reading a bio or two, and even reading his own work, which could be quite learned.
	11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @11:35 ...Nixon a handy archetype of that sort of ♑︎Capricorn. For those of us so inclined ...DJ JoeMcG another kind iirc :D ...I mean so was MLK - just wanted to get different things done...
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...DNC in Chicago again this year ?! Did I read that right ?...
	11:39am Mick: Super late to the chat party once again, but wanted to jump in and sing the praises of this set. Smokin'!
	👻 11:40am tim: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:39 Yup. Same time same place, just no MC5 this time.
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's like Library Music after a spicy meal & the kinda Koffeez I drink...
	11:41am Mick: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:39 Yup - i think so. Just down I94 from the RNC in Milwaukee
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim @11:40 - that's it ! ...They hadda wait til all the 5 were no longer Alive...
	11:43am Triple G: Thanks as always Joe!
	👻 11:43am DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Calico Suit" by "Mighty Two" I had no idea Calico Suit was the B side of UpTown Top Ranking
	11:43am Rich in Bristol: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:02 Ah, sorry, everybody. I was trying for a joke, but it clearly didn't land. Better luck to me next time! :D
	11:43am Brendan: ↳ Song: "Caosmosi" by "Addict Ameba" Wow!
	11:43am Toothgrinder Tom: @Dean 11:35 absolutely, I’m of one mind with you there.
	👻 11:43am tim: ↳ Mick @11:41 Instead of levitating the Pentagon, we should levitate both convention centers to the middle of Lake Michigan.
	11:44am Rich in Bristol: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:43 But I did enjoy all the truck chat that followed it.
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:43 you need reader's digest!!
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:43 Stay Alive after the 5 ...& after 55 in fact...
	👻 11:45am DjLorraine: Pick 'em up truck
	11:46am Mick: ↳ tim @11:43 OOOOooouuummmm... Do we need Abbie Hoffman for that?
	11:46am Rich in Bristol: ↳ clarke @11:45 Do they have a jokes section? Or is this a trucking reference?
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:46 see above - joke section.
	👻 11:47am tim: ↳ Mick @11:46 Nah, just Jesse Jarnow spinning an Out Demons Out set. ;)
	11:47am Dean: Boy, do we need Abbie Hoffman.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:46 that was MY lame attempt at a joke. ;]
	11:48am Rich in Bristol: ↳ clarke @11:47 Haha!
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:47 and hoibert hoovah
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' I think this is all a bunch of crap !! - while John Sinclair ...well ...literally rots '...
	11:48am Dean: Mister, we could use a man like him again.
	11:49am Mxter Baba: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:43 and yet it is true— 55 isn't that ol'! LOL
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:48 always baffled me that they pined for the lamest prez.

	👻 11:52am DjLorraine: ↳ joe mulligan @11:50 I can't wait to hear what's for the bday dinner!
	11:53am Joe McG: This record totally KICKS ASS!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:50 No but - it's all about the DNC Chicago 1968 far as I can see. The Democrats are a Majority ...but we can never use it for anything Progressive. The USA stalled out right there - did we not ?
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @11:53 sounds like it!
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:53 yer asking the wrong ostrich.

	10:59am Rabbitsmokinintheferns: ↳ Dan S @10:57 Nicccccce.
	👻 10:59am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Dan S @10:57 I gotta buckle down and get to work. This show is just too much damn fun.
	👻 10:59am Dan S: ↳ Song: "Please Don't Talk to the Lifeguard" by "Diane Ray" They don't write 'em like this anymore. :)
	11:00am Avspuk: Uptown, top ranking 😉
	11:01am clarke: and i lead the parade.
	👻 11:01am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Ol' 55" by "Eric Andersen" Lickety-splickly ... it happens just that fast.
	👻 11:01am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ol' 55" by "Eric Andersen" Nice cover (like Anderson a whole lot).
	11:01am Rabbitsmokinintheferns: Surface Noise, I laughed, I cried, I twitched and jerked.
	11:02am clarke: playing tom waits is like the bat signal for FuZZZZZ
	11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Ol' 55" by "Eric Andersen" Interesting when you separate the Form from the Content with Waits...
	11:02am Rich in Bristol: ↳ Song: "Ol' 55" by "Eric Andersen" 55 isn't that ol'
	11:03am clarke: 1955 is
	👻 11:04am Dan S: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:02 But 1955 is.
	11:04am Steve Del Sol: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:02 I think it is a nick name for the truck he was driving. AND it rhymed.
	11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ☕️☠️Saluting Thee Assemebled with thuh DeathWish Koffeez☠️☕️
	11:05am clarke: poor tom probably don't give a sHIT
	👻 11:06am Dan S: ↳ Steve Del Sol @11:04 I always thought he was referring to a 1955 model car.
	11:06am clarke: Joe - do you have Mr. Jaws on 45? (if ANYone does...)
	11:07am Cat Stacker: Jersey Girl and Downtown Train, they are both huge, IDK what your criteria for a hit is but . . . I'd say those are his more conventional "hits"
	11:07am clarke: ↳ Dan S @11:06 it was his old truck
	11:08am Cat Stacker: "Way Down in the Hole" was on the Wire, that counts . . ."What's He Building In There" was on "Barry" or some HBO show or something, wasn't it?
	11:08am Dean: And "This One's From the Heart" was from "From the Heart."
	👻 11:08am Dan S: ↳ clarke @11:07 OK, was that a pickup truck or more like an 18-wheeler?
	11:09am clarke: ↳ Dan S @11:08 ha ha ha, it was an old ford truck - there are some photos of waits in that truck
	11:09am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:09 pick-up
	11:10am Dean: An old '55: https://commiehook.tumblr.com/post/168361035024/the-owner-of-this-cool-old-55-chevy-stopped-by-my
	11:11am newton: ↳ Dean @11:10 looks like a Decepticon
	11:11am Dean: (Though this is a Chevy.)
	11:11am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:11 i think tom's was a ford as there is mention of ford in another of his early tunes
	11:12am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:11 and he couldn't afford two vehicles (at the time)
	11:13am Dean: Waits spent part of his youth in my hometown, Whittier.
	11:13am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:13 yeah, wow! never been there, but i hear tis nice?
	11:14am Toothgrinder Tom: Re Calico Suit, have version, will travel.
	11:15am Dean: I enjoyed my time there, around forty years. But it's fairly quiet and staid, just over the border from OC. OTOH, it's east of East LA, and Whittier Blvd. runs right through it. Right now the city is all up at arms about the City Council's plan to raze 83 ficus trees that line the uptown main drag, Greenleaf Ave.
	11:16am clarke: save the trees!!!!
	11:16am Dean: Nice photo: https://enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=72ae9c88-e850-417a-ae8a-9bf06371fdf6
	11:17am newton: those are real nice trees
	11:17am Joe McG: ↳ Cat Stacker @11:07 Well, yeah, but again, for other artists.
	11:17am Dean: That theater at right? Used to be the Wardman Theater when I was a kid. I remember attending movies for $0.19! Later it turned into a Pussycat, which led to legal challenges.
	11:18am clarke: oh man, if they take down those trees.... huge sin.
	👻 11:18am tim: ↳ Song: "Theme from Electric Surfboard" by "Brother Jack M... I wonder if this recording is from the collection of the jazz club proprietor in Seattle who taped tones of shows. Like the live John coltrane that came out about 2 years ago.
	11:19am clarke: i mean, i don't get clear-cutting, in general, but there is NOTHING wrong with those trees.
	11:19am Dean: And notice from the story the reference to Lovell's Records, which has been in operation for ~70 years!
	11:19am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:19 because of your hard earned allowance
	11:20am Dean: Damn straight. I spent quality time...and quality dollars...at Lovell's.
	11:20am clarke: figured.
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Theme from Electric Surfboard" by "Brother Jack M... ...I think turning this up will go nicely with thuh Koffeez just now...
	11:21am clarke: "hey, i just got this thing called a wah-wah"
	11:21am Dean: Lovell's used to be an empire, with a second store way to the east in La Habra on Whittier Blvd. I remember first hearing Gentle Giant's Free Hand in that shop.
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim @11:18 Right ! Coltrane & Dolphy Live ...oh what's this old Tape here...
	11:23am clarke: so whittier goes all the way to the ocean, huh?
	11:23am Dean: "Recorded at The Gallery in Seattle, Washington on September 13, 1972."
	11:24am Dean: No, Whittier is inland, but if you take Whittier Blvd. east to Beach Blvd., then turn right and continue driving, you'll end up at Seal Beach.
	11:25am clarke: gotcha
	11:25am Toothgrinder Tom: Isn’t Whittier the home town of Richard Nixon? (I guess I could look this up but prefer to just freestyle.)
	11:26am clarke: u mean west tho??
	👻 11:26am Gregosaurus: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @11:25 Yep. Graduate of Whittier High.
	11:27am clarke: so san clemente was later, right?
	11:27am HyperDose: what a funky bunch!
	👻 11:27am Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: "Driptorch" by "Parlor Greens" HERE WE GO!!!! Noice!!!
	11:27am Dean: Kinda, Toothgrinder Tom. He was born in Yorba Linda, which is in OC, but went to school in Whittier and opened his first law practice there. I attended the same junior high, East Whittier, and college, Whittier College, as Dickie. Yes, San Clemente was the "Western White House."
	11:28am clarke: tricky!
	11:29am Dean: Been listening lately to Zappa & the Mothers, the Roxy tapes, including several versions of "Dickie's Such an Asshole."
	11:29am drr: ↳ Song: "Driptorch" by "Parlor Greens" Well, I really thought I was hearing the Meters, so, nice work.
	11:30am Steve Del Sol: ↳ Dan S @11:06 As I understand it, he was in the Navy, and became a tractor trailer driver after that. Perhaps the other way around. I hear that song in that context.
	11:30am drr: Wait I don't have WWOZ on, do I?
	11:30am Philip: awwwwwwwwww now. Damn
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Children of Stax...
	11:31am clarke: ↳ drr @11:30 no live wire
	11:32am Joe McG: I encourage all new bands to aspire to playing like the Meters!
	11:32am Steve Del Sol: ↳ Dean @11:13 Tom has said he used to listen to two radios at once.
	11:32am Toothgrinder Tom: Thanks @Dean. Mean to read a biography of him someday.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I suppose it's syncopated enuff to be like N'Orleans...
	11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I just like thinking of the MGs...
	👻 11:33am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Lotsapoppa" by "Mestizo Beat" that's a nice groove
	11:33am newton: I had an MG, great fun when it worked
	11:34am newton: ↳ newton @11:33 it had an 8-track!
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Lotsapoppa" by "Mestizo Beat" ...betcha PaulWeller likes this...
	11:35am Dean: Nixon remains a fascinating character. Well worth reading a bio or two, and even reading his own work, which could be quite learned.
	11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @11:35 ...Nixon a handy archetype of that sort of ♑︎Capricorn. For those of us so inclined ...DJ JoeMcG another kind iirc :D ...I mean so was MLK - just wanted to get different things done...
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...DNC in Chicago again this year ?! Did I read that right ?...
	11:39am Mick: Super late to the chat party once again, but wanted to jump in and sing the praises of this set. Smokin'!
	👻 11:40am tim: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:39 Yup. Same time same place, just no MC5 this time.
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's like Library Music after a spicy meal & the kinda Koffeez I drink...
	11:41am Mick: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:39 Yup - i think so. Just down I94 from the RNC in Milwaukee
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim @11:40 - that's it ! ...They hadda wait til all the 5 were no longer Alive...
	11:43am Triple G: Thanks as always Joe!
	👻 11:43am DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Calico Suit" by "Mighty Two" I had no idea Calico Suit was the B side of UpTown Top Ranking
	11:43am Rich in Bristol: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:02 Ah, sorry, everybody. I was trying for a joke, but it clearly didn't land. Better luck to me next time! :D
	11:43am Brendan: ↳ Song: "Caosmosi" by "Addict Ameba" Wow!
	11:43am Toothgrinder Tom: @Dean 11:35 absolutely, I’m of one mind with you there.
	👻 11:43am tim: ↳ Mick @11:41 Instead of levitating the Pentagon, we should levitate both convention centers to the middle of Lake Michigan.
	11:44am Rich in Bristol: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:43 But I did enjoy all the truck chat that followed it.
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:43 you need reader's digest!!
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:43 Stay Alive after the 5 ...& after 55 in fact...

	11:46am Rich in Bristol: ↳ clarke @11:45 Do they have a jokes section? Or is this a trucking reference?
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:46 see above - joke section.
	👻 11:47am tim: ↳ Mick @11:46 Nah, just Jesse Jarnow spinning an Out Demons Out set. ;)
	11:47am Dean: Boy, do we need Abbie Hoffman.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Rich in Bristol @11:46 that was MY lame attempt at a joke. ;]
	11:48am Rich in Bristol: ↳ clarke @11:47 Haha!
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Dean @11:47 and hoibert hoovah
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' I think this is all a bunch of crap !! - while John Sinclair ...well ...literally rots '...

	11:53am Joe McG: This record totally KICKS ASS!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:50 No but - it's all about the DNC Chicago 1968 far as I can see. The Democrats are a Majority ...but we can never use it for anything Progressive. The USA stalled out right there - did we not ?
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @11:53 sounds like it!
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:53 yer asking the wrong ostrich.
