	3:04pm Funky16Corners: I'm waiting for a call from the scheduler at the hospital, so I may have to duck out of (or into) a break suddenly
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: Where else are you going to find a segue like that?
	🥁 3:06pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:04 It's fine! Self care goes first.
	3:07pm David The Splatter: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:04 Do we get the special "hold music" when it happens?
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:06 I have my periodic surgical procedure tomorrow, and of course they start calling around 3PM...
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David The Splatter @3:07 I'll see what I can come up with
	🥁 3:08pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:06 From Michigan to Utah.
	3:08pm Erica: Sad about Wayne Osmond.
	3:08pm Woo: ↳ Song: "Flower Music" by "The Osmonds" In 1967 you were required to mention flowers in songs.
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @3:08 I did a whole show dedicated t0 67/68 flower songs a while back
	🥁 3:09pm Yvang: ↳ Woo @3:08 Flow Pow!
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @3:08 wfmu.org...
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Out In the Street" by "The Shangri Las" Just one of the best records ever...
	3:14pm Woo: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:09 Thanks!
	3:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Walk On the Wild Side" by "Lou Reed" The twin basses on this is just BRILLIANT ARRANGING!
	🥁 3:15pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Out In the Street" by "The Shangri Las" Neither the Who nor Springsteen song.
	3:15pm Woo: ↳ Song: "Walk On the Wild Side" by "Lou Reed" Still amazing that this was a Top 40 hit, even the censored version.
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:14 Pretty incredible record all around
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @3:15 Proof once again that people do not pay attention
	3:16pm Crafty: ↳ Song: "Walk On the Wild Side" by "Lou Reed" ⭐️🔊🔊❤️❤️❤️🥰
	3:18pm Erica: Eric Carmen died the week I lost Internet connection for a whole week. I missed out on so much that week.
	3:18pm Woo: ↳ Song: "Go All the Way" by "Raspberries" another song from '72 with filthy filthy lyrics!!
	🥁 3:18pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Go All the Way" by "Raspberries" This song makes me think of both the Who and Roy Orbison.
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:18 Imagine how he felt...
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @3:18 I LOVED this record, but I was 10 and had no idea what it was about
	3:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:18 Good call. Beatles, too
	3:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Go All the Way" by "Raspberries" Love this!
	3:20pm Woo: ↳ Yvang @3:18 Raspberries did a great Who sound-alike on Overnight Sensation-I Don't Know What I Want (But I Want It Now)
	3:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:19 Def Beatles!
	3:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Time Has Come Today" by "Chambers Brothers" Cowbell alert! (need more cowbells in the world)! (Guessing this is not the long version)
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:26 You are INCORRECT sir!
	3:27pm Crafty: ↳ Song: "Time Has Come Today" by "Chambers Brothers" ⭐️🔊🔊🔊🔊
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: I would never play the edit (same goes for In A Gadda Da Vida)
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: EVERYBODY FREAK OUT!!
	3:29pm Erica: 🕣☮️🎸
	3:29pm Crafty: 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🕺🕺🥰❤️❤️
	3:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:26 I was WRONG!
	3:30pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:28 🔥
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: I'm trying to think if there's another group that got their start in gospel that went this far out. Lots of great soul shouters but no other rockers, esp psychedelic bands that I can think of.
	3:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Time Has Come Today" by "Chambers Brothers" Reminds a bit of Little Drummer Boy, that melody in this jam...
	3:32pm Woo: ↳ Song: "Time Has Come Today" by "Chambers Brothers" Did they do a Little Drummer Boy melody in there?
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:32 I think that's exactly what it is
	3:33pm Erica: I was going to say "Hey Chamber Brother, Christmas is over lol."
	3:33pm Woo: ↳ Woo @3:32 So that makes it a Christmas song. Will remember that next December.
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @3:33 Good point!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: BIG FINISH!
	3:34pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:32 Hey, doc!
	3:35pm Erica: Now this sounds like Do Ya by the Move and ELO.
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: I love the YEAAAAHHH at the end
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: The next ten records are all Shel Talmy productions
	3:37pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:35 I prefer the YEAAAHH part in Won't Get Fooled Again by the Who.
	3:38pm Woo: ↳ Song: "All Day and All Of the Night" by "The Kinks" Dave had some crazy guitar solos. Go wild for 8 bars and get out.
	🥁 3:38pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "All Day and All Of the Night" by "The Kinks" Used in "A Complete Unknown" to stress that Dylan was not down with the folk purists.
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:38 I really want to see that
	🥁 3:40pm Mollywog: Happy Thursday all!
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:40 Hi Mollywog!
	🥁 3:42pm Mollywog: ↳ Song: "Friday On My Mind" by "The Easybeats" Have always loved this song!
	🥁 3:42pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Friday On My Mind" by "The Easybeats" Got your weekly pay on Friday in a little brown envelope. Go spend it.
	3:44pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Friday On My Mind" by "The Easybeats" This song and Friday I'm In Love by the Cure are two hit songs about Friday (I don't count the Rebecca Black one).
	3:44pm Erica: There are probably others but I need to do research.
	🥁 3:44pm Brian in UK: Great production, uncluttered. He did have good quality to work with.
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:44 I'm sure there are a bunch
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:44 He was a genius. Made some of the most powerful, anthemic 45s of an era
	3:47pm Woo: Hit after Hit after Hit! So great!
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @3:47 I knew a bunch of these, but I was shocked when I started going through his credits. It's like he was running the non-Liverpool end of the British Invasion
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: I mean I had all these records, but I didn't realize he had produced them all!
	🥁 3:49pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "The Kids are Alright" by "The Who" Not the theme to the 2010 Lisa Cholodenko movie. She knew that “all right” was two words!
	3:49pm Bryan the Interloper: joining late -- this is my kind of classic rock! and I can see from the playlist that I should have tuned in earlier
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bryan the Interloper @3:49 Hello Bryan!
	3:51pm StringOFperils: Sheldon used Jimmy Page as rhythm guitar on The Kinks 'You Really Got Me', and it is JP's birthday today, FYI
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "The Skip" by "Goldie and the Gingerbreads" An expat American band being produced in London by an expat American producer!
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:51 Hey String! HBD JP!
	3:52pm StringOFperils: Hi, Larry! Surprised that he produced The Easybeats, being an Australian band and all...
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:52 Sent to the UK to make records!
	🥁 3:53pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 I believe I saw Goldie at Palmyra Delran's last two shows at Randy Now's Man Cave!
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:52 Though the Easybeats were all born in the UK and Holland
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:53 No kidding? I ought to head out, My buddy Bob plays guitar in her band
	3:55pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "Making Time" by "The Creation" Enjoying the show, Larry! The Creation are one of my faves!
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:55 Hey Candy-O!
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "All Night Stand" by "The Thoughts" Written by Ray Davies
	🥁 3:59pm Brian in UK: Larry, am I right in thinking that Creation Records, Alan McGee had a band called Biff Bang Pow. A kind of odd turn round.
	3:59pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:54 Hmmm. Not enough filing space in the attic for all this arcana
	🥁 4:00pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 David Johansen's too!
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:59 A direct tribute to the Creation
	4:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ David Shortell @3:38 I liked "A Complete Unknown", saw it last weekend. Not perfect, but dug the performances. I couldn't understand anything "Dylan" said the entire movie, though...
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:59 They had a really interesting story. They were all from families that had resettled in Australia
	🥁 4:01pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:00 Nothing new then, doc!!
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:00 That's OK, nobody could understand the real Dylan either
	4:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Light Flight" by "Pentangle" This is great!
	4:01pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:00 That post-war colonization thing that the Kink's referenced in 'Australia'
	🥁 4:02pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Light Flight" by "Pentangle" Think this was used for a television programme over here at the time.
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:01 It was the theme to a UK TV show called The Take Three Girls
	4:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 True, I figured that was a realistic portrayal. (don't think he ever said much of importance anyway, was just busy being an asshole).
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:01 Arthur is all about Ray's sister moving to Australia
	4:04pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:03 Did not know that either. Seemed such a broad tableau about the England they were in
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:04 Apparently Ray had something like a nervous breakdown when his sister and her family relocated. He thought he'd never see her again.
	4:06pm Cal Zone!: Great show Larry!
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Cal Zone! @4:06 Hey Cal! Thanks!
	🥁 4:07pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:54 Goldie also sings on Palmyra’s “I’m Satisfied” on the 2018 “Come Spy With Me” album.
	4:08pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:06 Well, I'm glad he channelled his pain into 'Arthur'; that's a fantastic piece of art.
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:08 That stretch of albums from Face to Face to Arthur is pretty remarkable
	4:12pm StringOFperils: Poor Françoise. I went through something similat to what killed her, about 6 years ago, but I survived it. She was so sad about not being able to sing anymore.
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:12 She had a really rough go of it in the last few years of her life
	4:15pm StringOFperils: Yeah, I was kind keeping tabs on her in the press. Had a crush on her 'til the end. (Who didn't?)
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:15 I hear that.
	4:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Omaha" by "Moby Grape" Love this tune (but hard to make out the lyrics, why is it called Omaha?)
	🥁 4:22pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Time Has Come Today" by "Chambers Brothers" Damn skippy this song is in a lot of soundtracks. Spike Lee used it twice–in “Crooklyn” and “Da 5 Bloods”!
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:22 I could not tell you! Good question!
	4:23pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Omaha" by "Moby Grape" The Listen My Friends song.
	4:24pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:22 Should ask Bob Irwin, he might know.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:24 Good idea
	🥁 4:28pm Mollywog: Another Moby Grape song I really liked was Murder in My Heart for the Judge! I always thought they were WAY under rated
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @4:28 I agree. Great band, filled with great musicians and songwriters
	4:32pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "For You" by "Greg Kihn" This is a great album. Played it a lot.
	4:33pm Crafty: ↳ Song: "For You" by "Greg Kihn" ⭐️🔊🥰❤️❤️
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:32 Underrated guy. I got to see him once, a long time ago
	4:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "For You" by "Greg Kihn" A lot of folks heard Bruce first in this version.
	4:35pm StringOFperils: Wow! Nice! *anyone who'd send the kids back to Greetings From Asbury Park deserves a free dinner or something. At least!
	4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "China Cat Sunflower" by "Grateful Dead" The original version (crazier than the later live one).
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:37 Yes, more overtly psychedelic
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Truly Right" by "Brewer and Shipley" Leon Russell on electric piano
	🥁 4:43pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Most Anything You Want" by "Iron Butterfly" I wonder if this group inspired the Iron Waffle LP bought by Honeybunch Kaminski the Drug-Crazed Runaway in the story “She’s Leaving Home” from R. Crumb’s 1970 one-shot Uneeda Comix (Honeybunch: “Finished my homework!! Now to get stoned!!”).
	4:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Lay Down (Candles In the Rain)" by "Melanie featu... One of those voices that sounds like it's going to crack, but holds together nicely.
	4:44pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, Great weekend all!
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:44 Red Bank New Jersey's own...
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:44 Thanks Doc!
	🥁 4:46pm Mollywog: ↳ Song: "Lay Down (Candles In the Rain)" by "Melanie featu... Best thing about this show is hearing stuff I'd totally forgotten about!
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Me and Bobby McGee" by "Kris Kristofferson" This version features backing vocals by Lily Tomlin and Larry Hankin ("fake Kramer" from Seinfeld)
	4:46pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Enjoying the In Memorium show today! Stay tuned for Discotech Underground next on GTDR! wfmu.org...
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:46 Hey Kip!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Me and Bobby McGee" by "Kris Kristofferson" Joan Baez, too
	🥁 4:48pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:44 In 2019 I got to see her at Monmouth University in Long Branch, the same town where she started performing in the Sixties (at the Inkwell).
	4:48pm StringOFperils: ↳ David Shortell @4:43 Probably. Aline Kominsky must (transparently) be the real-world fetish object behind that character too.
	4:49pm Bryan the Interloper: This original doesn't get played enough.
	4:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What a great show! Thanks, larry!
	🥁 4:52pm Yvang: Thanks Larry! Sad about the losses but glad their music is here to stay.
	4:52pm StringOFperils: Saw Journey in '81, and they really were gawd-awful, it's true!!! Fortunately they were followed by The Stones.
	4:55pm Erica: Me & Bobby McGee should be saved for the next Christmas show episode.
	4:55pm StringOFperils: Thank you, Larry. And thank you all you people in the ether, both here and gone!
	4:55pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	4:55pm Crafty: Thank you Larry! Thank you everybody! great show! always fun!🥰❤
	🥁 4:55pm bradford: Thanks as always, Larry! Be well.
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening, everybody!
	1:55pm Cal Zone!: Excellent show and tribute to artists who contributed to the culture of our lives!
	1:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks, Cal!

	3:04pm Funky16Corners: I'm waiting for a call from the scheduler at the hospital, so I may have to duck out of (or into) a break suddenly
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: Where else are you going to find a segue like that?
	🥁 3:06pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:04 It's fine! Self care goes first.
	3:07pm David The Splatter: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:04 Do we get the special "hold music" when it happens?
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:06 I have my periodic surgical procedure tomorrow, and of course they start calling around 3PM...
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David The Splatter @3:07 I'll see what I can come up with
	🥁 3:08pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:06 From Michigan to Utah.
	3:08pm Erica: Sad about Wayne Osmond.
	3:08pm Woo: ↳ Song: "Flower Music" by "The Osmonds" In 1967 you were required to mention flowers in songs.
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @3:08 I did a whole show dedicated t0 67/68 flower songs a while back
	🥁 3:09pm Yvang: ↳ Woo @3:08 Flow Pow!
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @3:08 wfmu.org...
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Out In the Street" by "The Shangri Las" Just one of the best records ever...
	3:14pm Woo: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:09 Thanks!
	3:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Walk On the Wild Side" by "Lou Reed" The twin basses on this is just BRILLIANT ARRANGING!
	🥁 3:15pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Out In the Street" by "The Shangri Las" Neither the Who nor Springsteen song.
	3:15pm Woo: ↳ Song: "Walk On the Wild Side" by "Lou Reed" Still amazing that this was a Top 40 hit, even the censored version.
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:14 Pretty incredible record all around
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @3:15 Proof once again that people do not pay attention
	3:16pm Crafty: ↳ Song: "Walk On the Wild Side" by "Lou Reed" ⭐️🔊🔊❤️❤️❤️🥰
	3:18pm Erica: Eric Carmen died the week I lost Internet connection for a whole week. I missed out on so much that week.
	3:18pm Woo: ↳ Song: "Go All the Way" by "Raspberries" another song from '72 with filthy filthy lyrics!!
	🥁 3:18pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Go All the Way" by "Raspberries" This song makes me think of both the Who and Roy Orbison.
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:18 Imagine how he felt...
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @3:18 I LOVED this record, but I was 10 and had no idea what it was about
	3:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:18 Good call. Beatles, too
	3:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Go All the Way" by "Raspberries" Love this!
	3:20pm Woo: ↳ Yvang @3:18 Raspberries did a great Who sound-alike on Overnight Sensation-I Don't Know What I Want (But I Want It Now)
	3:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:19 Def Beatles!
	3:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Time Has Come Today" by "Chambers Brothers" Cowbell alert! (need more cowbells in the world)! (Guessing this is not the long version)
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:26 You are INCORRECT sir!
	3:27pm Crafty: ↳ Song: "Time Has Come Today" by "Chambers Brothers" ⭐️🔊🔊🔊🔊
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: I would never play the edit (same goes for In A Gadda Da Vida)
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: EVERYBODY FREAK OUT!!
	3:29pm Erica: 🕣☮️🎸
	3:29pm Crafty: 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🕺🕺🥰❤️❤️
	3:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:26 I was WRONG!
	3:30pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:28 🔥
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: I'm trying to think if there's another group that got their start in gospel that went this far out. Lots of great soul shouters but no other rockers, esp psychedelic bands that I can think of.
	3:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Time Has Come Today" by "Chambers Brothers" Reminds a bit of Little Drummer Boy, that melody in this jam...
	3:32pm Woo: ↳ Song: "Time Has Come Today" by "Chambers Brothers" Did they do a Little Drummer Boy melody in there?
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:32 I think that's exactly what it is
	3:33pm Erica: I was going to say "Hey Chamber Brother, Christmas is over lol."
	3:33pm Woo: ↳ Woo @3:32 So that makes it a Christmas song. Will remember that next December.
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @3:33 Good point!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: BIG FINISH!
	3:34pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:32 Hey, doc!
	3:35pm Erica: Now this sounds like Do Ya by the Move and ELO.
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: I love the YEAAAAHHH at the end
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: The next ten records are all Shel Talmy productions
	3:37pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:35 I prefer the YEAAAHH part in Won't Get Fooled Again by the Who.
	3:38pm Woo: ↳ Song: "All Day and All Of the Night" by "The Kinks" Dave had some crazy guitar solos. Go wild for 8 bars and get out.
	🥁 3:38pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "All Day and All Of the Night" by "The Kinks" Used in "A Complete Unknown" to stress that Dylan was not down with the folk purists.
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:38 I really want to see that
	🥁 3:40pm Mollywog: Happy Thursday all!
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:40 Hi Mollywog!
	🥁 3:42pm Mollywog: ↳ Song: "Friday On My Mind" by "The Easybeats" Have always loved this song!
	🥁 3:42pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Friday On My Mind" by "The Easybeats" Got your weekly pay on Friday in a little brown envelope. Go spend it.
	3:44pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Friday On My Mind" by "The Easybeats" This song and Friday I'm In Love by the Cure are two hit songs about Friday (I don't count the Rebecca Black one).
	3:44pm Erica: There are probably others but I need to do research.
	🥁 3:44pm Brian in UK: Great production, uncluttered. He did have good quality to work with.
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:44 I'm sure there are a bunch
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:44 He was a genius. Made some of the most powerful, anthemic 45s of an era
	3:47pm Woo: Hit after Hit after Hit! So great!
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @3:47 I knew a bunch of these, but I was shocked when I started going through his credits. It's like he was running the non-Liverpool end of the British Invasion
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: I mean I had all these records, but I didn't realize he had produced them all!
	🥁 3:49pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "The Kids are Alright" by "The Who" Not the theme to the 2010 Lisa Cholodenko movie. She knew that “all right” was two words!
	3:49pm Bryan the Interloper: joining late -- this is my kind of classic rock! and I can see from the playlist that I should have tuned in earlier
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Bryan the Interloper @3:49 Hello Bryan!
	3:51pm StringOFperils: Sheldon used Jimmy Page as rhythm guitar on The Kinks 'You Really Got Me', and it is JP's birthday today, FYI
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "The Skip" by "Goldie and the Gingerbreads" An expat American band being produced in London by an expat American producer!
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:51 Hey String! HBD JP!
	3:52pm StringOFperils: Hi, Larry! Surprised that he produced The Easybeats, being an Australian band and all...
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:52 Sent to the UK to make records!
	🥁 3:53pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 I believe I saw Goldie at Palmyra Delran's last two shows at Randy Now's Man Cave!
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:52 Though the Easybeats were all born in the UK and Holland
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:53 No kidding? I ought to head out, My buddy Bob plays guitar in her band
	3:55pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "Making Time" by "The Creation" Enjoying the show, Larry! The Creation are one of my faves!
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:55 Hey Candy-O!
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "All Night Stand" by "The Thoughts" Written by Ray Davies
	🥁 3:59pm Brian in UK: Larry, am I right in thinking that Creation Records, Alan McGee had a band called Biff Bang Pow. A kind of odd turn round.
	3:59pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:54 Hmmm. Not enough filing space in the attic for all this arcana
	🥁 4:00pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 David Johansen's too!
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:59 A direct tribute to the Creation
	4:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ David Shortell @3:38 I liked "A Complete Unknown", saw it last weekend. Not perfect, but dug the performances. I couldn't understand anything "Dylan" said the entire movie, though...
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:59 They had a really interesting story. They were all from families that had resettled in Australia
	🥁 4:01pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:00 Nothing new then, doc!!
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:00 That's OK, nobody could understand the real Dylan either
	4:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Light Flight" by "Pentangle" This is great!
	4:01pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:00 That post-war colonization thing that the Kink's referenced in 'Australia'
	🥁 4:02pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Light Flight" by "Pentangle" Think this was used for a television programme over here at the time.
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:01 It was the theme to a UK TV show called The Take Three Girls
	4:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 True, I figured that was a realistic portrayal. (don't think he ever said much of importance anyway, was just busy being an asshole).
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:01 Arthur is all about Ray's sister moving to Australia
	4:04pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:03 Did not know that either. Seemed such a broad tableau about the England they were in
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:04 Apparently Ray had something like a nervous breakdown when his sister and her family relocated. He thought he'd never see her again.
	4:06pm Cal Zone!: Great show Larry!
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Cal Zone! @4:06 Hey Cal! Thanks!
	🥁 4:07pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:54 Goldie also sings on Palmyra’s “I’m Satisfied” on the 2018 “Come Spy With Me” album.
	4:08pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:06 Well, I'm glad he channelled his pain into 'Arthur'; that's a fantastic piece of art.
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:08 That stretch of albums from Face to Face to Arthur is pretty remarkable
	4:12pm StringOFperils: Poor Françoise. I went through something similat to what killed her, about 6 years ago, but I survived it. She was so sad about not being able to sing anymore.
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:12 She had a really rough go of it in the last few years of her life
	4:15pm StringOFperils: Yeah, I was kind keeping tabs on her in the press. Had a crush on her 'til the end. (Who didn't?)
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:15 I hear that.
	4:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Omaha" by "Moby Grape" Love this tune (but hard to make out the lyrics, why is it called Omaha?)
	🥁 4:22pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Time Has Come Today" by "Chambers Brothers" Damn skippy this song is in a lot of soundtracks. Spike Lee used it twice–in “Crooklyn” and “Da 5 Bloods”!
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:22 I could not tell you! Good question!
	4:23pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Omaha" by "Moby Grape" The Listen My Friends song.
	4:24pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:22 Should ask Bob Irwin, he might know.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:24 Good idea
	🥁 4:28pm Mollywog: Another Moby Grape song I really liked was Murder in My Heart for the Judge! I always thought they were WAY under rated
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @4:28 I agree. Great band, filled with great musicians and songwriters
	4:32pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "For You" by "Greg Kihn" This is a great album. Played it a lot.
	4:33pm Crafty: ↳ Song: "For You" by "Greg Kihn" ⭐️🔊🥰❤️❤️
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:32 Underrated guy. I got to see him once, a long time ago
	4:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "For You" by "Greg Kihn" A lot of folks heard Bruce first in this version.
	4:35pm StringOFperils: Wow! Nice! *anyone who'd send the kids back to Greetings From Asbury Park deserves a free dinner or something. At least!
	4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "China Cat Sunflower" by "Grateful Dead" The original version (crazier than the later live one).
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:37 Yes, more overtly psychedelic
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Truly Right" by "Brewer and Shipley" Leon Russell on electric piano
	🥁 4:43pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Most Anything You Want" by "Iron Butterfly" I wonder if this group inspired the Iron Waffle LP bought by Honeybunch Kaminski the Drug-Crazed Runaway in the story “She’s Leaving Home” from R. Crumb’s 1970 one-shot Uneeda Comix (Honeybunch: “Finished my homework!! Now to get stoned!!”).
	4:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Lay Down (Candles In the Rain)" by "Melanie featu... One of those voices that sounds like it's going to crack, but holds together nicely.
	4:44pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, Great weekend all!
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:44 Red Bank New Jersey's own...
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:44 Thanks Doc!
	🥁 4:46pm Mollywog: ↳ Song: "Lay Down (Candles In the Rain)" by "Melanie featu... Best thing about this show is hearing stuff I'd totally forgotten about!
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Me and Bobby McGee" by "Kris Kristofferson" This version features backing vocals by Lily Tomlin and Larry Hankin ("fake Kramer" from Seinfeld)
	4:46pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Enjoying the In Memorium show today! Stay tuned for Discotech Underground next on GTDR! wfmu.org...
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:46 Hey Kip!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Me and Bobby McGee" by "Kris Kristofferson" Joan Baez, too
	🥁 4:48pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:44 In 2019 I got to see her at Monmouth University in Long Branch, the same town where she started performing in the Sixties (at the Inkwell).
	4:48pm StringOFperils: ↳ David Shortell @4:43 Probably. Aline Kominsky must (transparently) be the real-world fetish object behind that character too.
	4:49pm Bryan the Interloper: This original doesn't get played enough.
	4:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What a great show! Thanks, larry!
	🥁 4:52pm Yvang: Thanks Larry! Sad about the losses but glad their music is here to stay.
	4:52pm StringOFperils: Saw Journey in '81, and they really were gawd-awful, it's true!!! Fortunately they were followed by The Stones.
	4:55pm Erica: Me & Bobby McGee should be saved for the next Christmas show episode.
	4:55pm StringOFperils: Thank you, Larry. And thank you all you people in the ether, both here and gone!
	4:55pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	4:55pm Crafty: Thank you Larry! Thank you everybody! great show! always fun!🥰❤
	🥁 4:55pm bradford: Thanks as always, Larry! Be well.
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening, everybody!
