	10:53am Michael Shelley: Is it too green?
	10:55am scot_cr: snowed in, in chattanooga keeping me from standard sat thrift romp - oh I can listen to MS live!
	10:58am Listener Baby: Green is good. Though it is pretty darned green.
	11:00am Frank In Queens: HEY NOW! That's a great glass and coaster pairing.

	11:00am luka: gm ichibans
	11:01am clarke: michael, what did you think of sanjay's piece? hey now!

	11:01am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	11:02am listener phat in Lincoln: Hey now! Morning all.
	11:02am clarke: hay ya'll!
	11:02am Listener Baby: Charlie Rich song?
	11:03am sheila-b-Delia: Hi Mike I love your show !
	11:03am northguineahills: heyzas michael and friends!
	11:03am Michael Shelley: ↳ northguineahills @11:03 HEART!
	11:04am egould: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night" by "Bay City Rollers, The" The unique combination of bubblegum and power pop. Number freaking one!
	11:04am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Michael Shelley @10:53 Pistachio. Love it.
	11:05am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night" by "Bay City Rollers, The" I recently learned that this isn't Les McKeown on vocals. It was recorded prior to his joining the band. I forget the singer's name but I hear there's a way to look that up.
	11:05am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Our Own Funny Way" by "Rick Nelson" It's amazing how little I knew of Rick Nelson beyond that he was a TV teen idol. I never even really heard much of his records until fairly recently. I can only imagine what his legacy would be now if he'd lived longer.
	11:05am Cal Zone!: Good Morning MS!
	11:06am Fragonard: Nick Lowe had 2 (not 1) songs mentioning Bay City Rollers
	11:07am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:05 u ain't gotta look it up
	11:07am Frank In Queens: Oh, very Buford T Justice in that pronunciation of "S" in USA.
	11:07am Ciggy: Hi Hello how are ya
	11:07am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night" by "Bay City Rollers, The" SAT night I see “show/boat” play at nyu, an update on “showboat”. And LAST night I saw Andy breckman at Monty hall. Fun!
	11:07am Christina Ginger: Good morning!
	11:07am egould: Sex, drugs, bubblegum, death.
	11:08am DJ Johnny Cool: The best Roger Miller song!!!
	11:08am bixa: one of my fave songs of all time
	11:08am clarke: ↳ Song: "My Uncle Used To Love Me But She Died" by "Roger ... rog
	11:08am RB: ↳ Song: "My Uncle Used To Love Me But She Died" by "Roger ... Excellent
	11:10am Christina Ginger: Horn intonation is really dependent on breath control and speed, omperature form…
	11:10am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night" by "Bay City Rollers, The" Also, I'm so glad I gave up on my teen "punk" opposition to pop music like this. My life is much more fun. I got lucky in my 20s to have friends who got me to embrace things I really did actually love when I was younger. I have to wonder if I'd have written some cool pop songs when I was younger and more prolific (I wasn't actually all that prolific).
	11:10am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Can I Change My Mind" by "Tyrone Davis" This right here is why America is the best country.
	11:10am David L.: I play saxophone on the regular, and yep, intonation is always an uphill battle, one that some approach with greater concern than others…
	11:11am Christina Ginger: Also, most horns are B-flat instruments, while guitars, pianos, bass, are C instruments. So if there is any discrepancy in THEIR tuning, the horns will sound a little funky.
	11:11am listener phat in Lincoln: I love the really common intonation issues from Mexican border music.
	11:11am egould: The horns are in tune; the players are out of tune.
	11:11am Johnny Staten Island: Great tune my first exposure was Roy Buchanan version
	11:11am still b/p: Can never separate recollections of Rollers from the silly characterizations of them at the time as "the next Beatles." Get atta heah.
	11:11am luka: ↳ Song: "Can I Change My Mind" by "Tyrone Davis" The Pietasters do a very respectable cover of this on their Strapped Live! LP
	11:12am Pedro in Arlington: So how many watched the real Bob Dylan movie? www.imdb.com...
	11:12am Squints: ↳ Song: "Can I Change My Mind" by "Tyrone Davis" I like this one way better than "Turn Back The Hands Of Time." And I like that one a lot.
	11:13am David Shortell: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:05 His legacy is Seinfeld look-a-like Tracy Nelson of "Father Dowling Mysteries".
	11:13am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Can I Change My Mind" by "Tyrone Davis" That's Fab!
	11:13am clarke: rick nielson demanding equal time.
	11:14am Moammar: ↳ luka @11:11 I recall Buckwheat Zydeco did this as well. His band also used to do "Rhinestone Cowboy," which was a blast.
	11:14am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:13 He'll likely get it on Michael's show
	11:15am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:14 we're all all right
	11:16am listener phat in Lincoln: @clarke Check yr email
	11:16am myron feld: ↳ David Shortell @11:13 And "Square Pegs" !!
	11:16am egould: ↳ David Shortell @11:13 Square Pegs en.wikipedia.org...
	11:16am David Shortell: ↳ Song: "My Uncle Used To Love Me But She Died" by "Roger ... I got to see him in both Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic and Mission Of Burma!
	11:16am Hughie Considine: Hey all! Wow, you come in 15 minutes late and you miss six songs -- all No. 1's!
	11:16am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:16 did.!
	11:17am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:16 and now a word from our sponsor... hey rocky..
	11:18am egould: ↳ David Shortell @11:16 Haha!
	11:18am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ myron feld @11:16 Holy cow. I didn't know that. I loved that show when I was a kid. It was kind of awful, but it sure meant a lot to the kids it was written for.
	11:18am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ David Shortell @11:16 I got to hang out with him in October!
	11:19am Frank In Queens: Psychedelia ain't for everyone!
	11:20am listener phat in Lincoln: After a long week of dread about events of the world, this show (and comments board) is a good reset.
	11:23am Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:20 Agreed. So far 2025 is a literal disaster.
	11:23am OnTheTrain: Hey Gang . @mike I have to say I really enjoyed your Clay fill in this week.
	11:24am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:23 agree!
	11:24am clarke: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:23 oh yeah, i was semi-conscious for some o' dat! good fun!
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Song: "Cover Girl" by "Snooks Eaglin" SNOOKS!
	11:25am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:23 Gonna get worse before it gets better. But I still think it will, not without a lot of loss. I the meantime, I'll enjoy the things I can.
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Song: "Cover Girl" by "Snooks Eaglin" had a regular gig in nola, which i went to a few times. should have gone more.
	11:27am Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1ers. Keeping me company and warm while I work in the snow.
	11:27am Michael Shelley: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:23 I loved doing it - thanks!
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Song: "Stop The Press" by "Eugene Kelly" new?
	11:27am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Stop The Press" by "Eugene Kelly" This is an odd song.
	11:29am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:27 2003
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:29 wow, a huge miss for moi
	11:30am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:30 "New To You"
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:29 was a vaelines and eugenius fan
	11:30am pgalub: Hey Michael, clarke and everyone.
	11:31am clarke: hello peter!! howzit?
	11:31am clarke: -s
	11:31am pgalub: Not bad, clarke, thks.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ pgalub @11:31 yeah weird times.
	11:33am OnTheTrain: ↳ clarke @11:24 When Mike talked about "Dick Hymen" , it was one of them moments where wifey said "What , What did he just say .." In a sort of 1/2 awake fog.
	11:34am clarke: RIP BW!!
	11:34am Edward: That Tex Williams was bouncy!
	11:34am Scott from Boston: Rest in peace, Brenton wood! We also have a ski place in Massachusetts I think called Brenton Woods? Coincidence
	11:34am Handy Haversack: Hey now! Michael and all! Minty up in here! Brunch is almost ready ...
	11:35am clarke: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:33 missed that part - maybe thats what woke me up?
	11:35am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Gimme Little Sign" by "Brenton Wood" RIP. Really makes me sad. I love this song as much as any other song. That chorus kills me.
	11:35am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Gimme Little Sign" by "Brenton Wood" One of the finest songs ever. The solo!
	11:35am Paul: RTP Brenton Wood and Sam Moore
	11:35am egould: Interesting combination of psychedelic rock and r&b.
	11:35am clarke: yer soaking in it!!
	11:35am Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:35 That drum lick building up to the chorus.
	11:37am Moammar: Brenton Wood's stage name was taken from Brentwood, the swanky L.A. suburb.
	11:37am David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Gimme Little Sign" by "Brenton Wood" This song's beginning reminds me a bit of the Kinks' "Where Did My Spring Go?"
	11:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ Moammar @11:37 Which is now on fire.
	11:38am clarke: ↳ Moammar @11:37 i thought it was from the nashville 'hood?
	11:38am Matt in Nebraska: No "W"s west of the Missouri River.
	11:38am Squints: ↳ Moammar @11:37 Which might partially account for the discrepancy in its oldies airplay in NYC vs LA.
	11:38am colinmahns: K naming convention for radio/tv is generally for west of the mississippi, but there's a few stations east of it (KYW in philly and KDKA in pittsburgh) that have the K rather than the W, used to stand for experimental radio stations
	11:39am Moammar: ↳ colinmahns @11:38 This I did not know. It will come in handy some day.
	11:39am Squints: ↳ Song: "Florida" by "Chris Ligon" Who's the second voice on this?
	11:39am Christina Ginger: The backing track borrows heavily from Baby Don’t Go by Sonny and Cher
	11:39am Frank In Queens: ↳ Squints @11:38 Double Shot Records was also based out of LA, so there's something to be said for regional radio.
	11:39am egould: ↳ colinmahns @11:38 KDKA was the first radio station, right? There was no naming convention when it started. :-)
	11:40am Mike Sin: Been Enjoying the show as we polish off the last cups of coffee from the pumpkin spice bag….
	11:40am Paul: Currently 42 in Tallahassee.
	11:41am Michael Shelley: www.ebay.com...
	11:42am colinmahns: ↳ egould @11:39 exactly lol. i used to help manage their IT and a handful of other stations in the radio group when it was CBS radio!
	11:42am Scott from Boston: I just bought the ax that Pete Seeger tried to kill Bob Dylan with off of eBay
	11:43am egould: Pot and pills, right?
	11:43am rx "rexy" scabin: I heard that Dylan got the Beatles high first. Seems like a lie.
	11:43am clarke: surely
	11:43am Listener Baby: If Bob was hanging out with The Band, he was doing drugs.
	11:43am OnTheTrain: On the topic of Music Movies, has anyone seen Smithereens recently? www.imdb.com...
	11:44am wenzo: Documented truth besides the songs?
	11:44am Edward: It's pretty well documented that when Dylan met the Beatles in 1964, he turned them on to weed.
	11:44am clarke: i'm not sure about what era EXACTLY but amphetamines played a major role around 64 to 66. but, i don't know of 'documentation'
	11:44am Michael Shelley: Speed - I would think
	11:44am Mr. Jones: Dylan broke up The Beatles when he turned them onto the jazz cabbage. It's a gateway drug that inevitably leads to trying Yoko Ono.
	11:45am gf2002: When Dylan and the Beatles met in '64, Dylan brought Al Aronowitz with him and they rolled joints and smoked together. Dylan was definitely into drugs, I also think it's a myth that this was when the Beatles first toked up and they have said they smoked in Hamburg too, along with the speed. So yes, a lot of mythology there
	11:45am malaise: I would suggest that there can be interest that doesn't correlate to coverage. I am often interested in a event, but plan to get the highlights and analysis later rather than watch live and then also get the highlights and analysis later. The live television version of tldr. Tldw
	11:45am Hubig Pie: No, no no. Mr. D. served them tea.
	11:45am listener phat in Lincoln: I remember when the Golden Globes were a big joke. I'm not sure how they've gotten so outsized in their influence. I feel like they did some very good promotion.
	11:45am Pedro in Arlington: Dr. Robert. Made his mom Beatty proud of her Jewish doctor son.
	11:45am Hughie Considine: Speed also brings out the nasty side of people, which is why Warhol's factory was apparently not a fun place to hang out.
	11:46am hifivicky: yeah everybody knows Dylan was literally the Beatles ' gateway drug
	11:46am OnTheTrain: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:44 How about when Bob joined forces with the Plugz as his backing band in the early 80's . Speed, something else , who knows. www.google.com...
	11:46am Edward: There is a lot of semi-informed commentary out there to the effect that Dylan was doing speedballs at least during the 1966 tour. But I'm not sure there's anyone who'd swear to it in court.
	11:46am Pedro in Arlington: Dylan got into speed to stay awake during Army guard duty in Germany.
	11:47am gf2002: Flash forward to '66 and there is that famous clip from Eat The Document where Lennon, Dylan, Robbie Robertson, etc are in Lennon's Rolls and Dylan is sick and Lennon is ripping on him...so was Dylan tripping or was he drunk? Heard both versions
	11:47am Listener Baby: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:44 Mr. Jones. That was awesome.
	11:47am carlos. danger: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 the story i've heard is that dylan was surprised when the beatles deumurred when he offered them a joint as he thought thet were already into weed as he misheard the lyric in "i want to hold your hand as. "i get high" (vs the actual "i can't hide'")
	11:47am egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 It’s the people, not the drug. I myself was a speed enthusiast for most of the 90’s. I turned out ok.
	11:47am OnTheTrain: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:46 That way more common then you would think .
	11:47am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:46 Forgot about that. Hombre Secreto!
	11:48am Handy Haversack: I just today learned that you can switch your receiver to mono and cut out a lot of the interference on the WFMU signal. Mind. Blown.
	11:48am OnTheTrain: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:48 Handy this is how I get it in long island. Roof antenna and mono.
	11:48am clarke: you got mono!
	11:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:48 91.1 or 91.9? How far out are you? We're in north Brooklyn. Had a great signal most of 2024 and then it suddenly went to crap in December.
	11:49am gf2002: ↳ carlos. danger @11:47 I heard that too. I think a lot of the Beatles' true story from Hamburg and even Liverpool was very carefully scrubbed and kept from the official narrative especially in the early days of 64-65 in order to preserve their image. I'm sure they toked up both in Liverpool and in Hamburg, in fact didn't Harrison even call joints "jazz cigarettes" in a few interviews? If they hung in art school and beatnik circles in the early 60's, they would have toked up
	11:50am Hughie Considine: ↳ egould @11:47 Sure you did, but that doesn't mean you were perfectly pleasant to be around when you were high on speed.
	11:50am clarke: far out, man
	11:50am Frank In Queens: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:48 Wow, I barely get the terrestrial signal here in Queens. Where on the Island are you getting it?
	11:50am Adammets: Good dylan exhibit at Morgan library had his yearbook www.themorgan.org...
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:50 was about to say that OR people on the drugs think they are just peachy
	11:50am Moammar: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:49 I gave up on the actual radio even in Jersey, which feels like a defeat. But the fuzz was a lot. I like it best in the car.
	11:51am Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "One Note Joe" by "Hi-Risers, The" Best guitar solo ever.
	11:52am rx "rexy" scabin: ↳ egould @11:47 In a former life, I remember people saying that cocaine was great because it enhanced their personality (among other things). The standard reply from those who were not aficionados was "how about if you are an a$$hole?"
	11:52am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Woop It On Me" by "Brenton Wood" For those who haven't had the pleasure, I strongly recommend Brenton's take on "Psychotic Reaction."
	11:52am Pedro in Arlington: The downside of new Dylan hagiography is the inevitable NYTimes pitchbot AJ Weberman piece. MD Chapman is waiting for his movie tie-in.
	11:52am Bob: ↳ Song: "One Note Joe" by "Hi-Risers, The" I sure hope the Risers get active again
	11:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ Moammar @11:50 For years we really couldn't get it in the front room, and then suddenly last year it was so clear. I was really upset when it suddenly degraded again.
	11:53am OnTheTrain: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:50 I live in port washington. I am on a hill overlooking the sound. So from my roof I am like 150' above sea level. i can get it in my car on the west side of town , east side it drowned out by some classical music station from LIU / Post college.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:50 Every drug brings out certain things, but clearly it's easier to be around people who are buzzed on pot or a few drinks than on coke or speed.
	11:53am OnTheTrain: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:53 Frank I use something like this for TV and Radio . store.antennasdirect.com...
	11:53am Joe B: My Hi-Risrers alarm just went off!
	11:54am rx "rexy" scabin: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:52 @OnTheTrain not say you were that. Talking about the cocaine and not the speed.
	11:54am Moammar: The only drug I need is Cel-Ray.
	11:56am Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:53 I find I don't like being around ME when I'm high these days. Get way too in my own head. I avoid it now.
	11:56am Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:52 At least Bob and Weberman have their Folkways phone call album and Folkways albums material never goes out of print
	11:57am OnTheTrain: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:54 When I use to work over nights, tons of my co-workers used speed, and that crazy stuff they use to sell as weight loss supplements , Yellow Jackets, Super bee something like that. It was digested into some sort of upper but on its own wasn't a drug at the time.
	11:57am clarke: and, whomever said the beatles tried weed in hamburg - i don' t know about that - pills for sure, tho.
	11:58am Michael Shelley: Dylan-Bob_Weberman-AJ_Telephone-Tapes we.tl...
	11:58am David Shortell: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 "A Complete Unknown" perpetuates another myth: that the 1965 Newport Folk Festival's audience was outraged that Dylan "went electric".
	11:59am clarke: ↳ David Shortell @11:58 some were, tho
	11:59am Michael Shelley: ↳ David Shortell @11:58 From what I understand - there was a mixed reception - no?
	11:59am egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:50 I’m not pleasant to be around when I’m sober. That’s why I spend my days leaving silly comments on the internet; no friends. :-)
	11:59am Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:56 Yep, I know the weed doesn't work for you. But you enjoy other at least one other form of intoxication. Whatever works!
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:59 that's what i have read
	11:59am Squints: ↳ Song: a song This sounds so Steve Earle it hurts. I like this.
	12:00pm rx "rexy" scabin: The new administration is ketamine based.
	12:00pm Bob: This Steve track has a real Al era Q feel. Never noticed that with him before even though he’s a big fan
	12:00pm rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. I must go look at flooring for the endless house rehab project.
	12:01pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Birds Of A Feather" by "Joe South" Never noticed the severely out of tune piano on this one.
	12:01pm clarke: hello bob.
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:59 Thank god there are no health drawbacks with whisky! I was talking with a friend about the health benefits of having a couple-three days a week without drinking and pointed out that as soon as capitalism decided to take a couple-three days off a week from causing widespread human misery and degradation, I'd be all over it.
	12:01pm Squints: ↳ Squints @11:59 Well, there ya go.
	12:02pm OnTheTrain: Time t take the xmas tree down . Whats the longest someone has had their tree up. I have personally seen someone who kept it in the apt till April.
	12:03pm rx "rexy" scabin: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:02 April. We usually wait until St. Valentine's Day if we can.
	12:03pm clarke: a real drummer's always going to win!
	12:03pm DG: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:52 I remember a certain now-disgraced comedian making that joke (not saying he was the first person to say it). It was unusual in that he had a really wholesome image, didn't usually do drug humor & didn't curse. Actually, the joke may've been a reference to pot, not coke (but not the drugs he used to put in women's drinks).
	12:03pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:01 Hiya
	12:04pm clarke: and hip huggers
	12:04pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:03 But where is a real drummer when we need him?
	12:04pm Scott from Boston: Love that Alex Chilton version also
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:02 frinkiac.com...
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: ↳ egould @11:59 You're good at the comments, though. And not entirely unpleasant ;)
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:04 all over the place!
	12:05pm John L: I'm going to see A Complete Unknown tomorrow, so I'll hold off on reading this until then, but a friend said this was a pretty informative fact/fiction article. variety.com...
	12:05pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:04 That explains why he’s never on time.
	12:05pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:57 That was me. I think Harrison for one mentioned they had tried it in Hamburg
	12:05pm Hughie Considine: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:02 Ours is still up actually, just from logistics. This weekend though, it's going down.
	12:05pm DG: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:46 That's Elvis, not Dylan; I assume that's a joke.
	12:06pm Johnny Staten Island: Brenton at his best
	12:06pm Tim G: Check out the boots, check out the boots now (I think)
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:05 i've never read that. referring especially to the Lewisohn book.
	12:07pm egould: Sax dammit!
	12:07pm clarke: it's going down this weekend!! whoo!!
	12:08pm Pedro in Arlington: I fear biopics but if the Bob movie recreates what went into shooting the glorious cover of Bringing It All Back Home, I will watch the Timothee thing and might even pay. Can someone tell me if the cover shoot is in the film? And if so, how does Sally Grossman come off?
	12:08pm gf2002: ↳ David Shortell @11:58 What I heard and read - and it makes sense - is that the crowd started yelling and booing because the sound system was awful, and they couldn't hear Dylan from the audience. It wasn't as much that they were booing his music. Again the truth lies somewhere in the middle as always
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Song: "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You" by "Lemonheads, The" good tune. period.
	12:09pm OnTheTrain: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:05 Holy crap I just broke off a branch and lit it the fireplace. It was like a insane fire cracker.
	12:09pm egould: ↳ Song: "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You" by "Lemonheads, The" This jangly should erase the unpleasant memories of that sax solo.
	12:09pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You" by "Lemonheads, The" Sax solo in this one, Baby
	12:09pm loquat: love this lemonheads song i play it constantly
	12:09pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:08 Yep. Makes me tear up a little since six and a half years ago.
	12:09pm carlos. danger: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:09 i believe co-written by eugene kelly (vaselines, eugenius)
	12:10pm Bob: I genuinely hope he gets his shit together. He’s so great when he is
	12:10pm mlsgrrl: ↳ Song: "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You" by "Lemonheads, The" I think my dog wrote this song for me
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Song: "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You" by "Lemonheads, The" i think this is the last song to feature david ryan on the drums.
	12:11pm Ciggy: Cynical today
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:10 and i mean, like, EVER - david went on to write screenplays, etc, but i don't think he ever played again?
	12:12pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:06 Harrison mentions in in Anthology, that they got pot from another drummer in Liverpool well before '64 and the Dylan meeting. My guess is it probably wasn't as potent as Dylan's dope haha
	12:12pm mlsgrrl: ↳ Bob @12:10 Yes, seeing him a couple of years ago was the most difficult show I've ever been to.
	12:13pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Breakaway" by "Springfields, The" I admit, I only know the Nick Lowe cover. He made it rock.
	12:13pm Bob: ↳ mlsgrrl @12:12 Not getting better from recent reports
	12:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mlsgrrl @12:12 Evan Dando?
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ DG @12:03 I remember it being about coke.
	12:14pm clarke: great percussion, here
	12:14pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Breakaway" by "Springfields, The" It makes its own bongo feet.
	12:14pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Breakaway" by "Springfields, The" The Proto-Seekers?
	12:14pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:10 Wikipedia says Murph played drums.
	12:14pm Pedro in Arlington: Markoe's take on Bob movie's Toshi Seegar portrayal. merrillmarkoe.substack.com...
	12:15pm Moammar: ↳ Squints @12:14 A self bongo-footing machine.
	12:15pm mlsgrrl: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:13 Yep
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:14 so, he wasn't even on that
	12:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mlsgrrl @12:15 I didn't even know.
	12:15pm Squints: ↳ mlsgrrl @12:15 The Gravy Train of bongo feet.
	12:16pm Joe B: After a decade of sane-washing trump the NY Times is moving on to normalizing a different psychopath
	12:16pm Pedro in Arlington: Bob Dylan Is Having a Hollywood Moment. His No. 1 Hater Is Ready. www.nytimes.com...
	12:17pm carlos danger: that's like the guy who hangs out outside of Big Pink and hassles people with Dylan/Band stories
	12:17pm clarke: laaaaadyyyy!!
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Mighty Quinn" by "Lulu" Lots of Scotland on the show today!
	12:17pm carlos danger: ↳ Joe B @12:16 right? why would the NYT highlight that guy?!
	12:18pm Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:17 Ach.
	12:18pm steveo: ok fine; i'll jump for joy :)
	12:18pm carlos danger: ↳ carlos danger @12:17 there's actually a poster up around there with that guy's photo on it saying DO NOT ENGAGE
	12:18pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Joe B @12:16 Haberman. Weberman. The truth is out there.
	12:18pm wenzo: Nobody would swear in court that the person who wrote this song was sober.
	12:18pm Bob: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:16 I saw some ad for renting Big Pink for $750 a night. Is that true?
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: "all the bitches gonna run to him?"
	12:18pm Greg from ZONE 5: Recently read the In Utero 33 1/3 book, followed by the This Is Hardcore one. Great “fame is the absolute worst” double feature.
	12:18pm Joe B: ↳ carlos danger @12:17 it's more like platforming the next mark david chapman
	12:18pm carlos danger: ↳ Bob @12:18 last i checked it was on airnb
	12:19pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Mighty Quinn" by "Lulu" great sounding band
	12:19pm carlos danger: ↳ Joe B @12:18 👍
	12:19pm gf2002: Those who have access to those with the fame are the ones who are often truly messed up...the access is the drug and the addiction and when that access disappears or dwindles, they're lost and start acting out in some weird ways. Look no further than the Bob Crane story and any non-famous person who gets that fringe taste of being in the bubble and what they do when it ends.
	12:19pm listener phat in Lincoln: I struggle, almost daily, with my dislike for Bob Dylan. I don't think it's his voice. I mean, I love Rush! But I do enjoy Dylan covers. It's weird.
	12:20pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Mighty Quinn" by "Lulu" #1 of todays number ones.
	12:20pm OnTheTrain: ↳ Joe B @12:16 I have to say Trump round 1 was such a [*!#$] show I had forgotten about Greenland offer 1. deadline.com...
	12:20pm egould: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:16 Guy fries his brain on bad acid and stalks Dylan. Print that now!
	12:21pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Joe B @12:16 Who was it?
	12:21pm Chris Crash: Hey yo Michael!
	12:22pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:21 Oh, the museum guy?
	12:22pm Andres: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:19 I will listen to every version of Its All Over Bow Baby Blue.
	12:22pm gf2002: I also think of the guy who was "the real Kramer" and started giving Seinfeld tours around NYC.
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @12:18 There's a This Is Hardcore one? Huh!
	12:22pm Dano59: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:58 it's hard oput there, being a dylan fan. (shoutout to rec.music.dylan members) genius.com...
	12:23pm Mr. Jones: My news consumption is way down. I'm definitely burying my head in the sand and humming to myself the whole time.
	12:23pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Chris Crash @12:21 Hi yo!
	12:23pm clarke: what a guitar sound! damn
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" One of the absolute best songs.
	12:23pm Pedro in Arlington: Canceled the Times last year but you can get it free through library sites and university email addresses. But more important, get free movie streaming from the library with Kanopy and hoopla. Ignore oligarch media.
	12:24pm ironybread: To get a good visual on the fires vis-a-vis the greater L.A. map, go to www.fire.ca.gov...
	12:24pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:16 I too want to obtain a Dylan urine sample. But for different reasons
	12:24pm PaulRobeson1925: Morninggggggggggggggg
	12:24pm OnTheTrain: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:23 Where we are heading with Lord Comb-over round two, and AI. en.wikipedia.org...
	12:24pm Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:19 Ever see the Rush documentary? They're not my cup of tea - but LOVED that movie.
	12:24pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:22 One of the most recent releases. It's GREAT!
	12:25pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" I remember receiving this when I was the music director of my college station and being so impressed at how good it sounded.
	12:25pm listener phat in Lincoln: As someone who's career is devoted to voter engagement I think you're probably correct and I honestly think it's probably good that people do what they can to stay sane. I have a very long explanation about that.
	12:25pm Crafty: Hello Michael Shelley! Hello everyone! I am with you and you are exactly correct Michael! 🥰❤
	12:25pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:24 Defo!
	12:25pm Joe B: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" all time fmu highlight was john doe performing this on my show! with cindy wasserman
	12:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:24 It's fantastic.
	12:25pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:23 I love Kanopy. The best deal in streaming there is!!!! I didn't know I could get NYTimes content too though. How?
	12:25pm egould: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @12:24 To complete the set. Gotta’ collect ‘em all.
	12:25pm hifivicky: ofc that amazing lemonheads song was written by the Vaselines guy. sorry but Evan isn't that great a song writer. the best songs on their first record are Ben's. their biggest hit Into Yr Arms is a cover. JMO, sorry
	12:26pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:24 I have not. I really need to. One of my goals this year is to watch a ton of rock n roll movies. I want to start a rock n roll film festival one of these days.
	12:26pm Crafty: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" ⭐️🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🥰❤️
	12:26pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" Border Radio would be on my list of rock n roll movies.
	12:27pm OnTheTrain: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" Around the time John released this he did some live shows where he covered a bunch of replacements songs too.
	12:27pm StuartR: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" Agreed. Great. It was incredible to be at Outpost in Montclair when John performed this.
	12:27pm egould: ↳ Song: "I'm Gonna Love You Too" by "Mystic Five, The" #1
	12:28pm johnk77: nice work today selecter the john doe brings back great memories of seeing him & band in the parking lot behind former city winery on varick st.
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:25 is that cindy on the recorded version?
	12:28pm listener phat in Lincoln: I want to see John Doe solo again. I've been very lucky to see him once. Lucinda Williams opened. One hell of a show.
	12:28pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ egould @12:25 Yes…collect Hello? Mr.Dylan? It’s me again
	12:29pm Andres: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" Was that with Kathleen Edwards?
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:28 I've been fortunate to see him solo on several occasions. Always great, and I'd never pass up an opportunity to see him again.
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ hifivicky @12:25 but evan wrote much of It's A Shame About Ray and that is very good work!
	12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ hifivicky @12:25 Strongly disagree. It's A Shame About Ray is a wonderful song and album.
	12:29pm WoodsOfMaine: I’ve never had any proximity to fame, unless you can count putting your arm around Tori Amos.
	12:30pm Greg from ZONE 5: Martin Prince!
	12:30pm Hughie Considine: ↳ hifivicky @12:25 Interesting. It sure wasn't easy to discern who wrote the songs on the CD.
	12:30pm Emile: michael you are so right. we need FMU more than ever now. time to pledge and I'm pulling out my wallet
	12:31pm clarke: of course with help from Tom Morgan
	12:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: In fact, I'd say the It's A Shame... album got worse when the label added that Mrs. Robinson cover.
	12:31pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:29 agree
	12:31pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:25 Check your library's website or call. Some offer free newspaper access, free museum passes, free streaming. Bob's classic 80s film "Hearts of Fire" is free on hoopla. A must see. Get on Bluesky too and flee the fascist-friendly socials.
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Emile @12:30 The marathon will be here before you know it.
	12:32pm hifivicky: I learn so much here!! I swear I crib more from this show for playlists and mixtapes than all the other FMU shows combined. thanks, MS!!
	12:32pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:31 thanks
	12:32pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Missed YOu" by "Grey DeLisle" Great!
	12:32pm OnTheTrain: She is the voice of Martin Price static.wikia.nocookie.net...
	12:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:31 Right?! Also: see you later on today?
	12:33pm OnTheTrain: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:32 simpsons.fandom.com...
	12:33pm JG: ↳ hifivicky @12:32 Agree, only problem is this show feeds my addiction to record buying.
	12:33pm Joe B: ↳ Andres @12:29 yes!
	12:33pm listener phat in Lincoln: Milhouse!
	12:33pm Douglas R: Milhouse
	12:33pm Joe B: ↳ clarke @12:28 kathleen edwards
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:33 ah, thanks - it's very good!
	12:34pm EJ: Martin
	12:36pm clarke: RIP Sam
	12:36pm clarke: G G Sq
	12:36pm egould: Sam and Dave want you to Stay in School youtu.be...
	12:37pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:32 Unfortunately no. A bit under the weather this weekend.
	12:37pm JB: Pulled over finally to be late and say... Milhouse
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:37 feel better, mate!
	12:38pm JB: ↳ JB @12:37 Or maybe not
	12:38pm Joe B: one half of the Swanky Modes!
	12:38pm Matt in Nebraska: I wonder what drove Sam Moore to embrace the Republican Party.
	12:39pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Joe B @12:38 Hell yeah!
	12:39pm Joe B: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:37 from staying up late watching the Islanders?
	12:39pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @12:30 thank you!
	12:39pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:38 cheers to that!
	12:40pm Joe B: ↳ Matt in Nebraska @12:38 i remember isaac hayes had to sue the Dole campaign to stop them from having Sam open the rallies with 'I'm a Dole Man'!
	12:40pm Toothgrinder Tom: @egould 12:36 nice message.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:38 it is surprising how few people know about Tapeheads.
	12:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:37 Oh, sorry to hear it! Feel better!
	12:40pm egould: ↳ Joe B @12:38 Haha! I need to watch that again.
	12:40pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "May I Baby" by "Sam And Dave" Oh man. Home run!
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Joe B @12:39 Ha, no this started just before that. Just rundown from the holidays and post-holiday runaround. Plus, they're not really worth depriving myself of sleep this season. Although, I was pleasantly surprised to see the result of Thursdays game.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:40 plus extra bases!
	12:41pm Brainwash: ↳ johnk77 @12:28 Hey johnk77 - that was a great show. The setting sun was right in John's eyes so he had his baseball cap pulled way down.
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:40 Thanks Handy. Have fun later.
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:41 a lot of "our teams" are failing this year.
	12:42pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "May I Baby" by "Sam And Dave" Baby. Would Booker play on these sessions?
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:40 Still not released on blu-ray.
	12:42pm Joe B: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:41 haven't actually seen them this year. just luck of the draw I guess!
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:42 Newcastle has turned it around nicely though.
	12:43pm Joe B: Isaac Hayes played piano on a lot of them if he was the arranger also.
	12:43pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Joe B @12:42 You're not missing much.
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:42 oh yeah, magpie year!
	12:44pm clarke: stars after stars after stars ....at the venues
	12:44pm Listener Baby: ↳ Joe B @12:43 What I thought, Joe. Maybe just B3 if the song called for it? Dunno?
	12:44pm ironybread: Has the name of Mr. J&H Productions been unmasked? I seem to remember that we know who he is now.
	12:44pm johnk77: garth hudson 1 of the most pro-cannabis members of the band
	12:44pm FleetwoodMacbeth: Hell yea, love this song.
	12:44pm ironybread: #PertainingToTheShows
	12:44pm Moammar: Pitchers and catchers on Feb. 12.
	12:44pm inklake: Moore sang on the Springsteen song "Man's Job" - makes the song. www.youtube.com...
	12:45pm Joe B: ↳ Listener Baby @12:44 they didn't have good documentation like the wrecking crew sessions so hard to say. they did have fewer players than motown so it was booker t and MGs on most things
	12:45pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "(Baby) Hold On" by "James Hunter Six, The" Another great live performer
	12:46pm egould: ↳ Moammar @12:44 Impossible. The World Series just wrapped up. Holy crap. Where is the time going.?
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:45 it would be a good guess to say that booker was on "most" of the stuff
	12:46pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "(Baby) Hold On" by "James Hunter Six, The" I missed him being on the show! He's such a wonderful guy, in my limited interaction with him. And he puts on a hell of a show. He's one of my favorite musicians today. If drop everything to play bass in his band (well, if my girlfriend was cool with it, I'm not crazy).
	12:46pm Joe B: although relying in wrecking crew union sheets isn't always the answer either - hey they list 7 guitarists on this song! well, 7 guys were there ...
	12:46pm Hughie Considine: ↳ ironybread @12:44 I would love to know. He needs to be recognized for his brilliance before it's too late. There was a short film starring Lawrence Tierney as Red from the infamous Red's Bar tapes. It was ... not good.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:46 right!
	12:46pm Joe B: ↳ clarke @12:46 yeah but sam and dave in particular, not always.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:46 agree.
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: synergy
	12:49pm egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:46 I used to frequent a coffee shop in Santa Monica where Lawrence Tierney was a regular too. Spent many a morning conversing with him. He was a real bastard.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:49 wow!
	12:50pm Fragonard: Wasn’t Nick Lowe a bit butt-hurt by the success of so-called lesser pop artists’ success? (and rightly so)…Bay City Rollers, Rick Astley, et al?
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @12:46 Too soon!
	12:50pm hifivicky: @Clarke omg I looooove Tapeheads, I copied my VHS for my younger brothers when I was in college and they were then the coolest kids in their high school yrs 😎... "let's get into trouble, baby"
	12:51pm Fragonard: (I don’t yuck anyone’s yum, tho!) 😀
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: ↳ egould @12:49 I bet! I mean, it was no act. He drove everyone on the set of Reservoir Dogs nuts. Just completely cantankerous, hence perfectly cast as the foul-mouthed Red.
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ hifivicky @12:50 YOU were a tapehead! ha ha
	12:51pm Joe B: i was one of the few who saw Tapeheads in the theater
	12:51pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Joe B @12:43 Especially if there's organ AND piano on songs they wrote - the piano is usually Isaak
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:51 that was YOU??
	12:52pm David Shortell: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:51 He was never asked back on "Seinfeld" to reprise his role as Elaine's father. He scared the hell out of everybody.
	12:52pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Kyle" by "Loose Lips" Been a while, Kyle.
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:51 meaning isaac hayes
	12:53pm Moammar: Christ, I saw "Tapeheads" in the theater, too. We all need help.
	12:53pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Kyle" by "Loose Lips" Oh those Roland Jazz Chorus Amps!
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Moammar @12:53 we do!
	12:53pm Joe B: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:51 yes! and if the MGs were on the road, Hayes sometimes played the drums!
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: ↳ David Shortell @12:52 Wow. Guy really took "difficult to work with" to a new level.
	12:54pm Frank In Queens: Appropriately enough, I taped it off of IFC back when IFC was worth a damn and lived up to its name.
	12:54pm KWilde: Indeed!
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:54 The Blender Children.
	12:55pm Joe B: hard to determine what BCR songs McGlynn is on, I'd guess about half of the it's a game album
	12:55pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:55 The best music video ever
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:55 gosh yes.
	12:56pm DG: ↳ Moammar @12:53 I saw it too, because the publishing co. I worked at got screening passes from time to time. I remember it having some good tunes but a weird storyline & got very little promotion when it came out; in fact, the screening was months before it finally was released, so I wonder if it was re--edited after I saw it.
	12:57pm clarke: great double=feature: Used Cars and Tapeheads
	12:57pm Andres: Tim Robbins wearing the Fishbone t-shirt in Bull Durham was the best! Same year as Tapeheads. Crazy.
	12:58pm Joe B: ↳ Andres @12:57 i think fishbone appeared in tapeheads?
	12:58pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:58 yes!
	12:58pm egould: Beatles ending?
	12:58pm listener phat in Lincoln: Have a good weekend, everyone!
	12:58pm clarke: ever get the feelin' you been bobbed? good nite.
	12:59pm egould: Thanks Michael!
	12:59pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "A.J. Weberman Tapes" by "Bob Dylan" Two alter kochers doing their schticks!
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "A.J. Weberman Tapes" by "Bob Dylan" What an absolute parasite.
	12:59pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! Later on, all!
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael. Cheers all.

	11:01am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Michael and Everyone.
	11:02am listener phat in Lincoln: Hey now! Morning all.
	11:02am clarke: hay ya'll!
	11:02am Listener Baby: Charlie Rich song?
	11:03am sheila-b-Delia: Hi Mike I love your show !
	11:03am northguineahills: heyzas michael and friends!
	11:03am Michael Shelley: ↳ northguineahills @11:03 HEART!
	11:04am egould: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night" by "Bay City Rollers, The" The unique combination of bubblegum and power pop. Number freaking one!
	11:04am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Michael Shelley @10:53 Pistachio. Love it.
	11:05am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night" by "Bay City Rollers, The" I recently learned that this isn't Les McKeown on vocals. It was recorded prior to his joining the band. I forget the singer's name but I hear there's a way to look that up.
	11:05am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Our Own Funny Way" by "Rick Nelson" It's amazing how little I knew of Rick Nelson beyond that he was a TV teen idol. I never even really heard much of his records until fairly recently. I can only imagine what his legacy would be now if he'd lived longer.
	11:05am Cal Zone!: Good Morning MS!
	11:06am Fragonard: Nick Lowe had 2 (not 1) songs mentioning Bay City Rollers
	11:07am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:05 u ain't gotta look it up
	11:07am Frank In Queens: Oh, very Buford T Justice in that pronunciation of "S" in USA.
	11:07am Ciggy: Hi Hello how are ya
	11:07am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night" by "Bay City Rollers, The" SAT night I see “show/boat” play at nyu, an update on “showboat”. And LAST night I saw Andy breckman at Monty hall. Fun!
	11:07am Christina Ginger: Good morning!
	11:07am egould: Sex, drugs, bubblegum, death.
	11:08am DJ Johnny Cool: The best Roger Miller song!!!
	11:08am bixa: one of my fave songs of all time
	11:08am clarke: ↳ Song: "My Uncle Used To Love Me But She Died" by "Roger ... rog
	11:08am RB: ↳ Song: "My Uncle Used To Love Me But She Died" by "Roger ... Excellent
	11:10am Christina Ginger: Horn intonation is really dependent on breath control and speed, omperature form…
	11:10am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night" by "Bay City Rollers, The" Also, I'm so glad I gave up on my teen "punk" opposition to pop music like this. My life is much more fun. I got lucky in my 20s to have friends who got me to embrace things I really did actually love when I was younger. I have to wonder if I'd have written some cool pop songs when I was younger and more prolific (I wasn't actually all that prolific).
	11:10am Moammar: ↳ Song: "Can I Change My Mind" by "Tyrone Davis" This right here is why America is the best country.
	11:10am David L.: I play saxophone on the regular, and yep, intonation is always an uphill battle, one that some approach with greater concern than others…
	11:11am Christina Ginger: Also, most horns are B-flat instruments, while guitars, pianos, bass, are C instruments. So if there is any discrepancy in THEIR tuning, the horns will sound a little funky.
	11:11am listener phat in Lincoln: I love the really common intonation issues from Mexican border music.
	11:11am egould: The horns are in tune; the players are out of tune.
	11:11am Johnny Staten Island: Great tune my first exposure was Roy Buchanan version
	11:11am still b/p: Can never separate recollections of Rollers from the silly characterizations of them at the time as "the next Beatles." Get atta heah.
	11:11am luka: ↳ Song: "Can I Change My Mind" by "Tyrone Davis" The Pietasters do a very respectable cover of this on their Strapped Live! LP
	11:12am Pedro in Arlington: So how many watched the real Bob Dylan movie? www.imdb.com...
	11:12am Squints: ↳ Song: "Can I Change My Mind" by "Tyrone Davis" I like this one way better than "Turn Back The Hands Of Time." And I like that one a lot.
	11:13am David Shortell: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:05 His legacy is Seinfeld look-a-like Tracy Nelson of "Father Dowling Mysteries".
	11:13am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Can I Change My Mind" by "Tyrone Davis" That's Fab!
	11:13am clarke: rick nielson demanding equal time.
	11:14am Moammar: ↳ luka @11:11 I recall Buckwheat Zydeco did this as well. His band also used to do "Rhinestone Cowboy," which was a blast.
	11:14am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:13 He'll likely get it on Michael's show
	11:15am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:14 we're all all right
	11:16am listener phat in Lincoln: @clarke Check yr email
	11:16am myron feld: ↳ David Shortell @11:13 And "Square Pegs" !!
	11:16am egould: ↳ David Shortell @11:13 Square Pegs en.wikipedia.org...
	11:16am David Shortell: ↳ Song: "My Uncle Used To Love Me But She Died" by "Roger ... I got to see him in both Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic and Mission Of Burma!
	11:16am Hughie Considine: Hey all! Wow, you come in 15 minutes late and you miss six songs -- all No. 1's!
	11:16am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:16 did.!
	11:17am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:16 and now a word from our sponsor... hey rocky..
	11:18am egould: ↳ David Shortell @11:16 Haha!
	11:18am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ myron feld @11:16 Holy cow. I didn't know that. I loved that show when I was a kid. It was kind of awful, but it sure meant a lot to the kids it was written for.
	11:18am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ David Shortell @11:16 I got to hang out with him in October!
	11:19am Frank In Queens: Psychedelia ain't for everyone!
	11:20am listener phat in Lincoln: After a long week of dread about events of the world, this show (and comments board) is a good reset.
	11:23am Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:20 Agreed. So far 2025 is a literal disaster.
	11:23am OnTheTrain: Hey Gang . @mike I have to say I really enjoyed your Clay fill in this week.
	11:24am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:23 agree!
	11:24am clarke: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:23 oh yeah, i was semi-conscious for some o' dat! good fun!
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Song: "Cover Girl" by "Snooks Eaglin" SNOOKS!
	11:25am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:23 Gonna get worse before it gets better. But I still think it will, not without a lot of loss. I the meantime, I'll enjoy the things I can.
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Song: "Cover Girl" by "Snooks Eaglin" had a regular gig in nola, which i went to a few times. should have gone more.
	11:27am Cooh John: Hello Michael and #1ers. Keeping me company and warm while I work in the snow.
	11:27am Michael Shelley: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:23 I loved doing it - thanks!
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Song: "Stop The Press" by "Eugene Kelly" new?
	11:27am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Stop The Press" by "Eugene Kelly" This is an odd song.
	11:29am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:27 2003
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:29 wow, a huge miss for moi
	11:30am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:30 "New To You"
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:29 was a vaelines and eugenius fan

	11:31am clarke: hello peter!! howzit?
	11:31am clarke: -s
	11:31am pgalub: Not bad, clarke, thks.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ pgalub @11:31 yeah weird times.
	11:33am OnTheTrain: ↳ clarke @11:24 When Mike talked about "Dick Hymen" , it was one of them moments where wifey said "What , What did he just say .." In a sort of 1/2 awake fog.
	11:34am clarke: RIP BW!!
	11:34am Edward: That Tex Williams was bouncy!
	11:34am Scott from Boston: Rest in peace, Brenton wood! We also have a ski place in Massachusetts I think called Brenton Woods? Coincidence
	11:34am Handy Haversack: Hey now! Michael and all! Minty up in here! Brunch is almost ready ...
	11:35am clarke: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:33 missed that part - maybe thats what woke me up?
	11:35am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Gimme Little Sign" by "Brenton Wood" RIP. Really makes me sad. I love this song as much as any other song. That chorus kills me.
	11:35am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Gimme Little Sign" by "Brenton Wood" One of the finest songs ever. The solo!
	11:35am Paul: RTP Brenton Wood and Sam Moore
	11:35am egould: Interesting combination of psychedelic rock and r&b.
	11:35am clarke: yer soaking in it!!
	11:35am Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:35 That drum lick building up to the chorus.
	11:37am Moammar: Brenton Wood's stage name was taken from Brentwood, the swanky L.A. suburb.
	11:37am David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Gimme Little Sign" by "Brenton Wood" This song's beginning reminds me a bit of the Kinks' "Where Did My Spring Go?"
	11:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ Moammar @11:37 Which is now on fire.
	11:38am clarke: ↳ Moammar @11:37 i thought it was from the nashville 'hood?
	11:38am Matt in Nebraska: No "W"s west of the Missouri River.
	11:38am Squints: ↳ Moammar @11:37 Which might partially account for the discrepancy in its oldies airplay in NYC vs LA.
	11:38am colinmahns: K naming convention for radio/tv is generally for west of the mississippi, but there's a few stations east of it (KYW in philly and KDKA in pittsburgh) that have the K rather than the W, used to stand for experimental radio stations
	11:39am Moammar: ↳ colinmahns @11:38 This I did not know. It will come in handy some day.
	11:39am Squints: ↳ Song: "Florida" by "Chris Ligon" Who's the second voice on this?
	11:39am Christina Ginger: The backing track borrows heavily from Baby Don’t Go by Sonny and Cher
	11:39am Frank In Queens: ↳ Squints @11:38 Double Shot Records was also based out of LA, so there's something to be said for regional radio.
	11:39am egould: ↳ colinmahns @11:38 KDKA was the first radio station, right? There was no naming convention when it started. :-)
	11:40am Mike Sin: Been Enjoying the show as we polish off the last cups of coffee from the pumpkin spice bag….
	11:40am Paul: Currently 42 in Tallahassee.
	11:41am Michael Shelley: www.ebay.com...
	11:42am colinmahns: ↳ egould @11:39 exactly lol. i used to help manage their IT and a handful of other stations in the radio group when it was CBS radio!
	11:42am Scott from Boston: I just bought the ax that Pete Seeger tried to kill Bob Dylan with off of eBay
	11:43am egould: Pot and pills, right?
	11:43am rx "rexy" scabin: I heard that Dylan got the Beatles high first. Seems like a lie.
	11:43am clarke: surely
	11:43am Listener Baby: If Bob was hanging out with The Band, he was doing drugs.
	11:43am OnTheTrain: On the topic of Music Movies, has anyone seen Smithereens recently? www.imdb.com...
	11:44am wenzo: Documented truth besides the songs?
	11:44am Edward: It's pretty well documented that when Dylan met the Beatles in 1964, he turned them on to weed.
	11:44am clarke: i'm not sure about what era EXACTLY but amphetamines played a major role around 64 to 66. but, i don't know of 'documentation'
	11:44am Michael Shelley: Speed - I would think
	11:44am Mr. Jones: Dylan broke up The Beatles when he turned them onto the jazz cabbage. It's a gateway drug that inevitably leads to trying Yoko Ono.
	11:45am gf2002: When Dylan and the Beatles met in '64, Dylan brought Al Aronowitz with him and they rolled joints and smoked together. Dylan was definitely into drugs, I also think it's a myth that this was when the Beatles first toked up and they have said they smoked in Hamburg too, along with the speed. So yes, a lot of mythology there
	11:45am malaise: I would suggest that there can be interest that doesn't correlate to coverage. I am often interested in a event, but plan to get the highlights and analysis later rather than watch live and then also get the highlights and analysis later. The live television version of tldr. Tldw
	11:45am Hubig Pie: No, no no. Mr. D. served them tea.
	11:45am listener phat in Lincoln: I remember when the Golden Globes were a big joke. I'm not sure how they've gotten so outsized in their influence. I feel like they did some very good promotion.
	11:45am Pedro in Arlington: Dr. Robert. Made his mom Beatty proud of her Jewish doctor son.
	11:45am Hughie Considine: Speed also brings out the nasty side of people, which is why Warhol's factory was apparently not a fun place to hang out.
	11:46am hifivicky: yeah everybody knows Dylan was literally the Beatles ' gateway drug
	11:46am OnTheTrain: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:44 How about when Bob joined forces with the Plugz as his backing band in the early 80's . Speed, something else , who knows. www.google.com...
	11:46am Edward: There is a lot of semi-informed commentary out there to the effect that Dylan was doing speedballs at least during the 1966 tour. But I'm not sure there's anyone who'd swear to it in court.
	11:46am Pedro in Arlington: Dylan got into speed to stay awake during Army guard duty in Germany.
	11:47am gf2002: Flash forward to '66 and there is that famous clip from Eat The Document where Lennon, Dylan, Robbie Robertson, etc are in Lennon's Rolls and Dylan is sick and Lennon is ripping on him...so was Dylan tripping or was he drunk? Heard both versions
	11:47am Listener Baby: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:44 Mr. Jones. That was awesome.
	11:47am carlos. danger: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 the story i've heard is that dylan was surprised when the beatles deumurred when he offered them a joint as he thought thet were already into weed as he misheard the lyric in "i want to hold your hand as. "i get high" (vs the actual "i can't hide'")
	11:47am egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 It’s the people, not the drug. I myself was a speed enthusiast for most of the 90’s. I turned out ok.
	11:47am OnTheTrain: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:46 That way more common then you would think .
	11:47am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:46 Forgot about that. Hombre Secreto!
	11:48am Handy Haversack: I just today learned that you can switch your receiver to mono and cut out a lot of the interference on the WFMU signal. Mind. Blown.
	11:48am OnTheTrain: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:48 Handy this is how I get it in long island. Roof antenna and mono.
	11:48am clarke: you got mono!
	11:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:48 91.1 or 91.9? How far out are you? We're in north Brooklyn. Had a great signal most of 2024 and then it suddenly went to crap in December.
	11:49am gf2002: ↳ carlos. danger @11:47 I heard that too. I think a lot of the Beatles' true story from Hamburg and even Liverpool was very carefully scrubbed and kept from the official narrative especially in the early days of 64-65 in order to preserve their image. I'm sure they toked up both in Liverpool and in Hamburg, in fact didn't Harrison even call joints "jazz cigarettes" in a few interviews? If they hung in art school and beatnik circles in the early 60's, they would have toked up
	11:50am Hughie Considine: ↳ egould @11:47 Sure you did, but that doesn't mean you were perfectly pleasant to be around when you were high on speed.
	11:50am clarke: far out, man
	11:50am Frank In Queens: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:48 Wow, I barely get the terrestrial signal here in Queens. Where on the Island are you getting it?
	11:50am Adammets: Good dylan exhibit at Morgan library had his yearbook www.themorgan.org...
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:50 was about to say that OR people on the drugs think they are just peachy
	11:50am Moammar: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:49 I gave up on the actual radio even in Jersey, which feels like a defeat. But the fuzz was a lot. I like it best in the car.
	11:51am Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "One Note Joe" by "Hi-Risers, The" Best guitar solo ever.
	11:52am rx "rexy" scabin: ↳ egould @11:47 In a former life, I remember people saying that cocaine was great because it enhanced their personality (among other things). The standard reply from those who were not aficionados was "how about if you are an a$$hole?"
	11:52am myron feld: ↳ Song: "Woop It On Me" by "Brenton Wood" For those who haven't had the pleasure, I strongly recommend Brenton's take on "Psychotic Reaction."
	11:52am Pedro in Arlington: The downside of new Dylan hagiography is the inevitable NYTimes pitchbot AJ Weberman piece. MD Chapman is waiting for his movie tie-in.
	11:52am Bob: ↳ Song: "One Note Joe" by "Hi-Risers, The" I sure hope the Risers get active again
	11:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ Moammar @11:50 For years we really couldn't get it in the front room, and then suddenly last year it was so clear. I was really upset when it suddenly degraded again.
	11:53am OnTheTrain: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:50 I live in port washington. I am on a hill overlooking the sound. So from my roof I am like 150' above sea level. i can get it in my car on the west side of town , east side it drowned out by some classical music station from LIU / Post college.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:50 Every drug brings out certain things, but clearly it's easier to be around people who are buzzed on pot or a few drinks than on coke or speed.
	11:53am OnTheTrain: ↳ OnTheTrain @11:53 Frank I use something like this for TV and Radio . store.antennasdirect.com...
	11:53am Joe B: My Hi-Risrers alarm just went off!
	11:54am rx "rexy" scabin: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:52 @OnTheTrain not say you were that. Talking about the cocaine and not the speed.
	11:54am Moammar: The only drug I need is Cel-Ray.
	11:56am Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:53 I find I don't like being around ME when I'm high these days. Get way too in my own head. I avoid it now.
	11:56am Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:52 At least Bob and Weberman have their Folkways phone call album and Folkways albums material never goes out of print
	11:57am OnTheTrain: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:54 When I use to work over nights, tons of my co-workers used speed, and that crazy stuff they use to sell as weight loss supplements , Yellow Jackets, Super bee something like that. It was digested into some sort of upper but on its own wasn't a drug at the time.
	11:57am clarke: and, whomever said the beatles tried weed in hamburg - i don' t know about that - pills for sure, tho.
	11:58am Michael Shelley: Dylan-Bob_Weberman-AJ_Telephone-Tapes we.tl...
	11:58am David Shortell: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 "A Complete Unknown" perpetuates another myth: that the 1965 Newport Folk Festival's audience was outraged that Dylan "went electric".
	11:59am clarke: ↳ David Shortell @11:58 some were, tho
	11:59am Michael Shelley: ↳ David Shortell @11:58 From what I understand - there was a mixed reception - no?
	11:59am egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:50 I’m not pleasant to be around when I’m sober. That’s why I spend my days leaving silly comments on the internet; no friends. :-)
	11:59am Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:56 Yep, I know the weed doesn't work for you. But you enjoy other at least one other form of intoxication. Whatever works!
	11:59am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:59 that's what i have read
	11:59am Squints: ↳ Song: a song This sounds so Steve Earle it hurts. I like this.
	12:00pm rx "rexy" scabin: The new administration is ketamine based.
	12:00pm Bob: This Steve track has a real Al era Q feel. Never noticed that with him before even though he’s a big fan
	12:00pm rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. I must go look at flooring for the endless house rehab project.
	12:01pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Birds Of A Feather" by "Joe South" Never noticed the severely out of tune piano on this one.
	12:01pm clarke: hello bob.
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:59 Thank god there are no health drawbacks with whisky! I was talking with a friend about the health benefits of having a couple-three days a week without drinking and pointed out that as soon as capitalism decided to take a couple-three days off a week from causing widespread human misery and degradation, I'd be all over it.
	12:01pm Squints: ↳ Squints @11:59 Well, there ya go.
	12:02pm OnTheTrain: Time t take the xmas tree down . Whats the longest someone has had their tree up. I have personally seen someone who kept it in the apt till April.
	12:03pm rx "rexy" scabin: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:02 April. We usually wait until St. Valentine's Day if we can.
	12:03pm clarke: a real drummer's always going to win!
	12:03pm DG: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:52 I remember a certain now-disgraced comedian making that joke (not saying he was the first person to say it). It was unusual in that he had a really wholesome image, didn't usually do drug humor & didn't curse. Actually, the joke may've been a reference to pot, not coke (but not the drugs he used to put in women's drinks).
	12:03pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:01 Hiya
	12:04pm clarke: and hip huggers
	12:04pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:03 But where is a real drummer when we need him?
	12:04pm Scott from Boston: Love that Alex Chilton version also
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:02 frinkiac.com...
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: ↳ egould @11:59 You're good at the comments, though. And not entirely unpleasant ;)
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:04 all over the place!
	12:05pm John L: I'm going to see A Complete Unknown tomorrow, so I'll hold off on reading this until then, but a friend said this was a pretty informative fact/fiction article. variety.com...
	12:05pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:04 That explains why he’s never on time.
	12:05pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:57 That was me. I think Harrison for one mentioned they had tried it in Hamburg
	12:05pm Hughie Considine: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:02 Ours is still up actually, just from logistics. This weekend though, it's going down.
	12:05pm DG: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @11:46 That's Elvis, not Dylan; I assume that's a joke.
	12:06pm Johnny Staten Island: Brenton at his best
	12:06pm Tim G: Check out the boots, check out the boots now (I think)
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:05 i've never read that. referring especially to the Lewisohn book.
	12:07pm egould: Sax dammit!
	12:07pm clarke: it's going down this weekend!! whoo!!
	12:08pm Pedro in Arlington: I fear biopics but if the Bob movie recreates what went into shooting the glorious cover of Bringing It All Back Home, I will watch the Timothee thing and might even pay. Can someone tell me if the cover shoot is in the film? And if so, how does Sally Grossman come off?
	12:08pm gf2002: ↳ David Shortell @11:58 What I heard and read - and it makes sense - is that the crowd started yelling and booing because the sound system was awful, and they couldn't hear Dylan from the audience. It wasn't as much that they were booing his music. Again the truth lies somewhere in the middle as always
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Song: "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You" by "Lemonheads, The" good tune. period.
	12:09pm OnTheTrain: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:05 Holy crap I just broke off a branch and lit it the fireplace. It was like a insane fire cracker.
	12:09pm egould: ↳ Song: "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You" by "Lemonheads, The" This jangly should erase the unpleasant memories of that sax solo.
	12:09pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You" by "Lemonheads, The" Sax solo in this one, Baby
	12:09pm loquat: love this lemonheads song i play it constantly
	12:09pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:08 Yep. Makes me tear up a little since six and a half years ago.
	12:09pm carlos. danger: ↳ OnTheTrain @12:09 i believe co-written by eugene kelly (vaselines, eugenius)
	12:10pm Bob: I genuinely hope he gets his shit together. He’s so great when he is
	12:10pm mlsgrrl: ↳ Song: "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You" by "Lemonheads, The" I think my dog wrote this song for me
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Song: "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You" by "Lemonheads, The" i think this is the last song to feature david ryan on the drums.
	12:11pm Ciggy: Cynical today
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:10 and i mean, like, EVER - david went on to write screenplays, etc, but i don't think he ever played again?
	12:12pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:06 Harrison mentions in in Anthology, that they got pot from another drummer in Liverpool well before '64 and the Dylan meeting. My guess is it probably wasn't as potent as Dylan's dope haha
	12:12pm mlsgrrl: ↳ Bob @12:10 Yes, seeing him a couple of years ago was the most difficult show I've ever been to.
	12:13pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Breakaway" by "Springfields, The" I admit, I only know the Nick Lowe cover. He made it rock.
	12:13pm Bob: ↳ mlsgrrl @12:12 Not getting better from recent reports
	12:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mlsgrrl @12:12 Evan Dando?
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ DG @12:03 I remember it being about coke.
	12:14pm clarke: great percussion, here
	12:14pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Breakaway" by "Springfields, The" It makes its own bongo feet.
	12:14pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Breakaway" by "Springfields, The" The Proto-Seekers?
	12:14pm egould: ↳ clarke @12:10 Wikipedia says Murph played drums.

	12:15pm mlsgrrl: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:13 Yep
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:14 so, he wasn't even on that

	12:16pm Pedro in Arlington: Bob Dylan Is Having a Hollywood Moment. His No. 1 Hater Is Ready. www.nytimes.com...
	12:17pm carlos danger: that's like the guy who hangs out outside of Big Pink and hassles people with Dylan/Band stories
	12:17pm clarke: laaaaadyyyy!!
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Mighty Quinn" by "Lulu" Lots of Scotland on the show today!
	12:17pm carlos danger: ↳ Joe B @12:16 right? why would the NYT highlight that guy?!
	12:18pm Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:17 Ach.
	12:18pm steveo: ok fine; i'll jump for joy :)
	12:18pm carlos danger: ↳ carlos danger @12:17 there's actually a poster up around there with that guy's photo on it saying DO NOT ENGAGE
	12:18pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Joe B @12:16 Haberman. Weberman. The truth is out there.
	12:18pm wenzo: Nobody would swear in court that the person who wrote this song was sober.
	12:18pm Bob: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:16 I saw some ad for renting Big Pink for $750 a night. Is that true?
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: "all the bitches gonna run to him?"
	12:18pm Greg from ZONE 5: Recently read the In Utero 33 1/3 book, followed by the This Is Hardcore one. Great “fame is the absolute worst” double feature.
	12:18pm Joe B: ↳ carlos danger @12:17 it's more like platforming the next mark david chapman
	12:18pm carlos danger: ↳ Bob @12:18 last i checked it was on airnb
	12:19pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Mighty Quinn" by "Lulu" great sounding band
	12:19pm carlos danger: ↳ Joe B @12:18 👍
	12:19pm gf2002: Those who have access to those with the fame are the ones who are often truly messed up...the access is the drug and the addiction and when that access disappears or dwindles, they're lost and start acting out in some weird ways. Look no further than the Bob Crane story and any non-famous person who gets that fringe taste of being in the bubble and what they do when it ends.
	12:19pm listener phat in Lincoln: I struggle, almost daily, with my dislike for Bob Dylan. I don't think it's his voice. I mean, I love Rush! But I do enjoy Dylan covers. It's weird.
	12:20pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Mighty Quinn" by "Lulu" #1 of todays number ones.

	12:21pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Joe B @12:16 Who was it?
	12:21pm Chris Crash: Hey yo Michael!
	12:22pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:21 Oh, the museum guy?
	12:22pm Andres: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:19 I will listen to every version of Its All Over Bow Baby Blue.
	12:22pm gf2002: I also think of the guy who was "the real Kramer" and started giving Seinfeld tours around NYC.
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @12:18 There's a This Is Hardcore one? Huh!
	12:22pm Dano59: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:58 it's hard oput there, being a dylan fan. (shoutout to rec.music.dylan members) genius.com...

	12:23pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Chris Crash @12:21 Hi yo!
	12:23pm clarke: what a guitar sound! damn
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" One of the absolute best songs.
	12:23pm Pedro in Arlington: Canceled the Times last year but you can get it free through library sites and university email addresses. But more important, get free movie streaming from the library with Kanopy and hoopla. Ignore oligarch media.

	12:24pm Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:19 Ever see the Rush documentary? They're not my cup of tea - but LOVED that movie.
	12:24pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:22 One of the most recent releases. It's GREAT!
	12:25pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" I remember receiving this when I was the music director of my college station and being so impressed at how good it sounded.
	12:25pm listener phat in Lincoln: As someone who's career is devoted to voter engagement I think you're probably correct and I honestly think it's probably good that people do what they can to stay sane. I have a very long explanation about that.
	12:25pm Crafty: Hello Michael Shelley! Hello everyone! I am with you and you are exactly correct Michael! 🥰❤
	12:25pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:24 Defo!
	12:25pm Joe B: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" all time fmu highlight was john doe performing this on my show! with cindy wasserman

	12:25pm egould: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @12:24 To complete the set. Gotta’ collect ‘em all.
	12:25pm hifivicky: ofc that amazing lemonheads song was written by the Vaselines guy. sorry but Evan isn't that great a song writer. the best songs on their first record are Ben's. their biggest hit Into Yr Arms is a cover. JMO, sorry
	12:26pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:24 I have not. I really need to. One of my goals this year is to watch a ton of rock n roll movies. I want to start a rock n roll film festival one of these days.
	12:26pm Crafty: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" ⭐️🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🥰❤️
	12:26pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" Border Radio would be on my list of rock n roll movies.
	12:27pm OnTheTrain: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" Around the time John released this he did some live shows where he covered a bunch of replacements songs too.
	12:27pm StuartR: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" Agreed. Great. It was incredible to be at Outpost in Montclair when John performed this.

	12:28pm listener phat in Lincoln: I want to see John Doe solo again. I've been very lucky to see him once. Lucinda Williams opened. One hell of a show.
	12:28pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ egould @12:25 Yes…collect Hello? Mr.Dylan? It’s me again
	12:29pm Andres: ↳ Song: "The Golden State" by "John Doe" Was that with Kathleen Edwards?
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:28 I've been fortunate to see him solo on several occasions. Always great, and I'd never pass up an opportunity to see him again.
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ hifivicky @12:25 but evan wrote much of It's A Shame About Ray and that is very good work!
	12:29pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ hifivicky @12:25 Strongly disagree. It's A Shame About Ray is a wonderful song and album.
	12:29pm WoodsOfMaine: I’ve never had any proximity to fame, unless you can count putting your arm around Tori Amos.
	12:30pm Greg from ZONE 5: Martin Prince!
	12:30pm Hughie Considine: ↳ hifivicky @12:25 Interesting. It sure wasn't easy to discern who wrote the songs on the CD.
	12:30pm Emile: michael you are so right. we need FMU more than ever now. time to pledge and I'm pulling out my wallet
	12:31pm clarke: of course with help from Tom Morgan
	12:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: In fact, I'd say the It's A Shame... album got worse when the label added that Mrs. Robinson cover.
	12:31pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:29 agree
	12:31pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:25 Check your library's website or call. Some offer free newspaper access, free museum passes, free streaming. Bob's classic 80s film "Hearts of Fire" is free on hoopla. A must see. Get on Bluesky too and flee the fascist-friendly socials.

	12:40pm egould: ↳ Joe B @12:38 Haha! I need to watch that again.
	12:40pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "May I Baby" by "Sam And Dave" Oh man. Home run!
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Joe B @12:39 Ha, no this started just before that. Just rundown from the holidays and post-holiday runaround. Plus, they're not really worth depriving myself of sleep this season. Although, I was pleasantly surprised to see the result of Thursdays game.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:40 plus extra bases!
	12:41pm Brainwash: ↳ johnk77 @12:28 Hey johnk77 - that was a great show. The setting sun was right in John's eyes so he had his baseball cap pulled way down.
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:40 Thanks Handy. Have fun later.
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:41 a lot of "our teams" are failing this year.
	12:42pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "May I Baby" by "Sam And Dave" Baby. Would Booker play on these sessions?
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:40 Still not released on blu-ray.
	12:42pm Joe B: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:41 haven't actually seen them this year. just luck of the draw I guess!
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:42 Newcastle has turned it around nicely though.
	12:43pm Joe B: Isaac Hayes played piano on a lot of them if he was the arranger also.
	12:43pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Joe B @12:42 You're not missing much.
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:42 oh yeah, magpie year!
	12:44pm clarke: stars after stars after stars ....at the venues
	12:44pm Listener Baby: ↳ Joe B @12:43 What I thought, Joe. Maybe just B3 if the song called for it? Dunno?
	12:44pm ironybread: Has the name of Mr. J&H Productions been unmasked? I seem to remember that we know who he is now.
	12:44pm johnk77: garth hudson 1 of the most pro-cannabis members of the band
	12:44pm FleetwoodMacbeth: Hell yea, love this song.
	12:44pm ironybread: #PertainingToTheShows
	12:44pm Moammar: Pitchers and catchers on Feb. 12.
	12:44pm inklake: Moore sang on the Springsteen song "Man's Job" - makes the song. www.youtube.com...
	12:45pm Joe B: ↳ Listener Baby @12:44 they didn't have good documentation like the wrecking crew sessions so hard to say. they did have fewer players than motown so it was booker t and MGs on most things
	12:45pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "(Baby) Hold On" by "James Hunter Six, The" Another great live performer
	12:46pm egould: ↳ Moammar @12:44 Impossible. The World Series just wrapped up. Holy crap. Where is the time going.?
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:45 it would be a good guess to say that booker was on "most" of the stuff
	12:46pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "(Baby) Hold On" by "James Hunter Six, The" I missed him being on the show! He's such a wonderful guy, in my limited interaction with him. And he puts on a hell of a show. He's one of my favorite musicians today. If drop everything to play bass in his band (well, if my girlfriend was cool with it, I'm not crazy).
	12:46pm Joe B: although relying in wrecking crew union sheets isn't always the answer either - hey they list 7 guitarists on this song! well, 7 guys were there ...
	12:46pm Hughie Considine: ↳ ironybread @12:44 I would love to know. He needs to be recognized for his brilliance before it's too late. There was a short film starring Lawrence Tierney as Red from the infamous Red's Bar tapes. It was ... not good.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:46 right!
	12:46pm Joe B: ↳ clarke @12:46 yeah but sam and dave in particular, not always.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:46 agree.
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: synergy
	12:49pm egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:46 I used to frequent a coffee shop in Santa Monica where Lawrence Tierney was a regular too. Spent many a morning conversing with him. He was a real bastard.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:49 wow!
	12:50pm Fragonard: Wasn’t Nick Lowe a bit butt-hurt by the success of so-called lesser pop artists’ success? (and rightly so)…Bay City Rollers, Rick Astley, et al?
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @12:46 Too soon!
	12:50pm hifivicky: @Clarke omg I looooove Tapeheads, I copied my VHS for my younger brothers when I was in college and they were then the coolest kids in their high school yrs 😎... "let's get into trouble, baby"
	12:51pm Fragonard: (I don’t yuck anyone’s yum, tho!) 😀
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: ↳ egould @12:49 I bet! I mean, it was no act. He drove everyone on the set of Reservoir Dogs nuts. Just completely cantankerous, hence perfectly cast as the foul-mouthed Red.
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ hifivicky @12:50 YOU were a tapehead! ha ha
	12:51pm Joe B: i was one of the few who saw Tapeheads in the theater
	12:51pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Joe B @12:43 Especially if there's organ AND piano on songs they wrote - the piano is usually Isaak
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:51 that was YOU??
	12:52pm David Shortell: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:51 He was never asked back on "Seinfeld" to reprise his role as Elaine's father. He scared the hell out of everybody.
	12:52pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Kyle" by "Loose Lips" Been a while, Kyle.
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:51 meaning isaac hayes
	12:53pm Moammar: Christ, I saw "Tapeheads" in the theater, too. We all need help.
	12:53pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Kyle" by "Loose Lips" Oh those Roland Jazz Chorus Amps!
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Moammar @12:53 we do!
	12:53pm Joe B: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:51 yes! and if the MGs were on the road, Hayes sometimes played the drums!
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: ↳ David Shortell @12:52 Wow. Guy really took "difficult to work with" to a new level.
	12:54pm Frank In Queens: Appropriately enough, I taped it off of IFC back when IFC was worth a damn and lived up to its name.
	12:54pm KWilde: Indeed!
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:54 The Blender Children.
	12:55pm Joe B: hard to determine what BCR songs McGlynn is on, I'd guess about half of the it's a game album
	12:55pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:55 The best music video ever
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:55 gosh yes.
	12:56pm DG: ↳ Moammar @12:53 I saw it too, because the publishing co. I worked at got screening passes from time to time. I remember it having some good tunes but a weird storyline & got very little promotion when it came out; in fact, the screening was months before it finally was released, so I wonder if it was re--edited after I saw it.
	12:57pm clarke: great double=feature: Used Cars and Tapeheads
	12:57pm Andres: Tim Robbins wearing the Fishbone t-shirt in Bull Durham was the best! Same year as Tapeheads. Crazy.
	12:58pm Joe B: ↳ Andres @12:57 i think fishbone appeared in tapeheads?
	12:58pm clarke: ↳ Joe B @12:58 yes!
	12:58pm egould: Beatles ending?
	12:58pm listener phat in Lincoln: Have a good weekend, everyone!
	12:58pm clarke: ever get the feelin' you been bobbed? good nite.
	12:59pm egould: Thanks Michael!
	12:59pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "A.J. Weberman Tapes" by "Bob Dylan" Two alter kochers doing their schticks!
	12:59pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "A.J. Weberman Tapes" by "Bob Dylan" What an absolute parasite.
	12:59pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! Later on, all!
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael. Cheers all.
