Listener comments!
	4:02pm Otis: Good hello Greg!
	4:02pm spacebrother: ↳ Otis @4:02 Yo! Hello!
	📖 4:02pm Herbie: Hi Spacebro - glad you're safe.
	4:03pm spacebrother: ↳ Herbie @4:02 Thank you. I'm good.
	📖 4:03pm WR: Good to hear you weren't directly affected. So far I know of 1 regular listener whose house is gone.
	4:04pm spacebrother: That's a picture I took on Wednesday morning when getting off the Hollywood freeway at Melrose.
	📖 4:04pm Mr Fab: cough, cough, wipes eyes Another day in paradise, eh, Greg?
	📖 4:05pm Herbie: Those aerial photos of the Palisades are crazy - like Berlin after WWII.
	4:06pm spacebrother: ↳ WR @4:03 That's terrible. It's affected a lot of people. I've been ferrying air filters and generators to friends.
	4:06pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:04 I'm glad you and Mrs. Fab and "little" Fab are ok!
	📖 4:06pm Mr Fab: ↳ WR @4:03 DJ Jessica on the mothership lost the family house she grew up in. She did a whole show about rain, which we're praying for right now.
	4:07pm spacebrother: ↳ Herbie @4:05 It's been insane. I saw the Palisades fire beginning on Tuesday morning.
	📖 4:07pm Mr Fab: Woody's introduction is as long as the song!
	4:08pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:07 It is! I guess this is sort of a plea for rain. Sort of.
	📖 4:09pm Herbie: ↳ Mr Fab @4:06 Ah man - that sucks. 🙁 The vids of people setting fires and looting make me sick.
	📖 4:10pm Mr Fab: I'll be doing a tribute to the great Wild Records label this Friday - instruments, recording equipment, master tapes, back catalog, all gone. Apart from being their actual house they lived in.
	📖 4:12pm WR: ↳ Herbie @4:09 Looting is bad but setting fires, that is insane.
	📖 4:13pm Herbie: ↳ Mr Fab @4:10 Nooo!🙁🙁🙁
	4:13pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:10 It just keeps getting worse as we find out more.
	📖 4:14pm Herbie: ↳ WR @4:12 It's a racket... set fire... loot. Scum.
	📖 4:19pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "San Fernando Valley" by "Roy Rogers" Way before the Zappas, this was the anthem for us Vals.
	4:20pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:19 Stands to reason! Another SF Valley song coming up.
	📖 4:23pm Mr Fab: It's funny how country western these early Valley songs are. Like it's way out in the desert or something. Now it's all pavement and malls, haha.
	📖 4:23pm Herbie: ↳ Mr Fab @4:19 Totally.
	4:25pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:23 Some communities in the North Valley still look like they have a few of the old ranch houses.
	📖 4:35pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Malibu Seal" by "Lulu Porter" Never thought there would be so much fire damage to Malibu. It's right by the frikken ocean! All that water nearby, such cruel irony...
	4:35pm spacebrother: I tried to get some of the songs to mention areas of LA that have been / are being affected by the fires
	📖 4:37pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Beast Of Sunset Strip" by "Teddy and Darrel" The sight of abandoned cars on Sunset Blvd was like something out of a post-apocalyptic zombie movie.
	4:37pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:35 Yes, very startling and tragic. I saw a video of Dick Van Dyke and his wife and an assistant evacuating. I hope his place survived.
	4:39pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:37 Yes, and some of them were bulldozed out of the way by firefighting crews. I thik this might have happened in the Palisades fire.
	4:42pm spacebrother: ↳ Song: "Eddie, Are You Kidding (Live At Pauley Pavilion, ... This is for really old people who remember the Zachary All ads in the 1960s and '70s.
	4:45pm spacebrother: ↳ Song: "Eddie, Are You Kidding (Live At Pauley Pavilion, ... Little did I know I'd someday be living minutes from the former Zachary All location on the Miracle Mile.
	4:52pm spacebrother: ↳ Song: "Bing Can't Walk" by "Stan Ridgway" Lots of Los Angeles refernces in this song.
	4:55pm spacebrother: The playlist doesn't have too many silly songs. Sort of by design.
	📖 4:56pm Mr Fab: Speaking of Stan R, as much as I love "Mexican Radio," it's probably best to not hear a song that starts "I feel the hot wind" right now...
	4:57pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:56 Exactly! Plus, no LA references.
	📖 4:58pm Herbie: ↳ spacebrother @4:45 Speaking of which... is there still a Wilson's House o' Leather?
	4:58pm Otis: Thanks Greg for the hour. Take care and sending love to all out west.
	4:58pm spacebrother: ↳ Song: "Los Angeles" by "X" This song is making me cry. I may never leave L.A.
	4:58pm spacebrother: ↳ Herbie @4:58 Alas, I thnik that's gone too.
	📖 4:59pm Herbie: Thanks Spacebro - stay safe!
	📖 4:59pm Mr Fab: Wonderful show, much thx Greg.
	5:00pm spacebrother: ↳ Herbie @4:59 Most welcome!
	5:00pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:59 Glad you enjoyed it! We'll get through this.
