	9:14pm JakeGould: I want u around.
	9:15pm slocker: Hi!
	9:16pm LovecraftDude888: I was at the Joey Ramone show at Tramps around 1998 or so...was backstage for that, met Joey etc. bla bla. Was keen! My friend Matt Dj'd that between acts. I think I saw Joey later at CIH with Ronnie Spector....can't even remember anymore.
	9:17pm LovecraftDude888: Droll...would you ever consider changing avatar to a googley eyed Blancmange?

	9:18pm Cliff: Dunh nu nun nuh nuh nuh nh, nuh nun huh hunnu nun num mun nud dun, dunnuh duh duh dunnuh duh duh dun duh, nuh nuh dunh duh.......and so on
	9:18pm Tome: ..California Sun from "it's Alive" yeaaaaa !!!!!
	9:18pm Holly in NC: @jmb - would you be less accepting if I confessed to spending a goodly amount of time in the ladies room pre-show rubbing hands with other girls to get a reasonable transfer of the drinking-age stamp? Oh, those were the giddy, nonchalant days (early 80s)
	9:19pm taco geometry: cliff is funny
	9:20pm Susannah: Lisa and Evan <3
	9:20pm jmd: @Holly: all the more! @EFD: Where did that copy of Loudmouth come from? Sounded pretty badass, even over the internet!
	9:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Q: Who are these totally damaged goods from Queens - ?!? A: The most important band of the last 40 years.
	9:22pm LovecraftDude888: I think I once tried that it didn't work. I used to go to this stupid new wave club on LI paris NY and they had the ultraviolet stamp reading thing or ID reader and you couldn't get away with fake IDs. No way mon.
	9:24pm LovecraftDude888: She damaged that $2000 Shure mic! oh my!
	9:35pm efd: @jmd, that "Loudmouth" was from my copy of the Leave Home LP!
	9:36pm lisa jane persky: Susannah! <3
	9:36pm LovecraftDude888: Lisa have you read any of Gary Valentine's new books? Just curious....had no idea you were in so many films etc.! Big Easy is one of my faves of all time!
	9:36pm lisa jane persky: Hi, all!
	9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Is this Tommy doing most of the talking?
	9:37pm efd: erm I mean my copy of the Ramones first album! :)
	9:37pm lisa jane persky: "What she means is ....that was in the mix." That's Tommy.
	9:38pm lisa jane persky: Dee Dee now.
	9:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx.
	9:38pm LovecraftDude888: I finally picked up the Rhino boxed thing it's totally worth buying even if you own all LPs.
	9:39pm lisa jane persky: Dee Dee talking about "I thought you'd sound stupid."
	9:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I can tell Johnny, I'm pretty sure.
	9:40pm efd: "What's the first thing you're going to get?" "Get comfortable!" Love that.
	9:40pm Droll: What kind of punks are this obsessed with "playing good"?!?!
	9:41pm Mike East: I wanna get comfortable
	9:41pm lisa jane persky: LovercraftDude888, I'm very close friends with Gary, still. I've read many of his books. So happy you love The Big Easy. One of my favorites, too.
	9:42pm AZ: She never did get the tattoo fixed.
	9:43pm LovecraftDude888: "man is entitled to the best defense money can buy!" I had some correspondence with Gary a few months back, he sounds like a super nice guy.
	9:45pm spodiodi: kickass
	9:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...1976...the mind boggles.
	9:49pm scram: This is awesome and heartbreaking (and you sound sweet, not snotty, ljp).
	9:49pm LovecraftDude888: Does anybody know where to find that old 60 Minutes punk expose piece that like denounced the Ramones and the whole movement as dangerous and all? I definitely recall watching that and laughing and I was all of nine years old.
	9:50pm Loretta: very very cool....... yeah 1976!
	9:51pm Tome: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	9:51pm efd: hey Loretta! You'll likely be hearing something very familiar at some point during this show. :)
	9:51pm spodiodi: shakes it
	9:52pm Loretta: really Evan ~ looking forward to it!
	9:54pm LovecraftDude888: at that point I wouldn't have known punk from Frijid Pink.
	9:56pm Tome: ..I don't think there is anyone who doesn't have a least one fave Ramone song,,, ( and if you're a total clueless dink you have at LEAST ONe but won't admit it of course .. )
	9:58pm LovecraftDude888: I once knew a girl from LI who couldn't tolerate any Ramones and I realized marriage was not in the cards...well it wasn't anyway How can you be into like goth and stuff and not The Ramones?
	10:01pm Tome: ..even my "Archie Bunker" uncle who ie... Hated the Beatles liked them FFS !!!!
	10:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - or, to put it another way - the Ramones were (much) closer in time to Phil Spector & the Beatles & 'Nuggets' - than we are now to the Ramones when they 1st came out...
	10:10pm Uncle Ramone: Did he say he liked the comic book "Warp?"
	10:10pm Classy C: Dee Dee is into Weird War! Yes! Vampirella shout out too...nice!
	10:11pm Uncle Michael: Ah, not Warp...which I guess wasn't a comic book till '83.
	10:12pm LovecraftDude888: something else ripped off for the Heavy Metal film....I guess
	10:12pm kevin g: Is it just me that can't hear anything?
	10:12pm Parq: Anybody else listening on the airwaves just lose the signal?
	10:12pm Holly in NC: This is so great on so many levels, clicky star entire show :-)
	10:12pm LovecraftDude888: I used to buy Star Warp mag. in the early 80s or late 70s...a trash horror SF film mag.
	10:13pm LovecraftDude888: anybody recall the old Horror SF comic with the eyeballs in space eating people?
	10:13pm johnk77: problem on 91.1 internet still working transmitter possibly off air monitoring on 2 different radios
	10:14pm Nick the Bard: 91.1 went out for me too
	10:14pm efd: thanks for the air signal report Parq. calling Ken now
	10:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DC5 - Ramones influence.
	10:14pm JakeGould: Yup, dead air in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Bummer! :/
	10:14pm Uncle Michael: Lisa...he wasn't kidding about the Walker Brothers! Don't laugh!
	10:14pm kevin g: just switched to pop up player, 91.1 went out around five minutes ago for me.
	10:15pm Mike East: Hey johnk77...I heard you stopped by here earlier...I must have missed you
	10:15pm efd: thanks for the reports everyone, Ken is on the case.
	10:16pm kevin g: ah just came back on. Has Joey not said anything?
	10:16pm lisa jane persky: Uncle Michael, I know. NOT funny. But I was surprised by that answer.
	10:16pm efd: sounds like it's back now.
	10:16pm Parq: Back.
	10:17pm Meghan: It's back. I was wondering too
	10:17pm AP Mike: Yeah, Evan, the signal just came back on.
	10:17pm lisa jane persky: and Joey walks in late!
	10:17pm EL: I'm definitely going to be listening to this more than once.
	10:17pm Holly in NC: Lord. '76 I was just transitioning out of Richie Rich/Casper et.al. to Mad magazine.
	10:17pm johnk77: yay 91.1 back Mike East: you were staring intently at your monitor
	10:19pm AP Mike: I can relate to Johnny's unemployment blues.
	10:19pm Mike East: i musta zoned
	10:20pm kevin g: Now it's classical music. Change of pace!
	10:21pm JakeGould: Was back & now is off. Yay!
	10:21pm spodiodi: anyone care to explain the blinking white background on the comments list?
	10:21pm Parq: Last time, lost audio but signal was still there. This time you just dumped.
	10:22pm Meghan: Woah, bad classical now
	10:22pm AP Mike: damn, more problems with the radio signal! I'm going to listen online now.
	10:22pm efd: meghan can you please call Ken back for me
	10:22pm LovecraftDude888: not seeing any blinking white. must be the Little People!
	10:23pm Meghan: Sure no problem
	10:23pm Loretta: for sure!
	10:23pm LovecraftDude888: wow turned on my onkyo action and no 91.1 all static. it's out.
	10:24pm Holly in NC: @spodiodi - no blinking comments here @everyone - internet mp3 stream is fine
	10:24pm spodiodi: My internets is bustid. thx.
	10:24pm LovecraftDude888: but the radio recep. in Port Washington blows anyway!
	10:25pm Meghan: Called him, he's looking into it. Thinks it's the transmitter
	10:26pm spodiodi: Thx, Holly
	10:28pm LovecraftDude888: Gary's book on Hermes Trismegistus is next to buy for me, I hear it's great. Basis for character in THE KEEP (M Mann) leave it to a horror geek
	10:28pm Meghan: Signal back
	10:33pm Uncle Michael: Cherie Currie is still talking about David Bowie? (harfle)
	10:33pm efd: thanks Meghan
	10:35pm Julie: David Bowie is eternal
	10:36pm Julie: Evan you and Lisa better stop breaking the radio!
	10:36pm Uncle Michael: Well, yeah...but there are other things.
	10:37pm Holly in NC: Alreay on monster sleep deficit, how the HECK am I going to stay up for Julie/Cherie? Oh dear, oh dear....
	10:37pm Uncle Michael: by the way, Evan...you're to blame for the show last night. It all stemmed from Jeff Wayne.
	10:38pm Meghan: Good, Julie is here to fix things while I go pass out! Night!
	10:38pm Julie: Fix things? I only break things, ask Scott. Nite, Meghan!
	10:40pm Michael Shelley: All #1 hits! great show. M
	10:43pm kevin g: Never heard of the Miamis. Can't understand how, this is great.
	10:43pm Uncle Michael: pops! clicks!
	10:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Clicky☆ for Pop.
	10:45pm Parq: I remember when Heads did "Love Goes" during a set in Central Park in 1979 when they were touring to support "Fear of Music" and only a few people in the audience recognized it. Honesty prods me to admit, I was not one of them.
	10:46pm efd: Kevin, that Miamis song was from a CD collection that came out in 2009 - might be track-down-able.
	10:46pm Uncle Michael: I'm too tired. Ugh. I don't wanna be too tired.
	10:47pm LovecraftDude888: all those bands r namechecked in Max's Kansas City by Jayne County etc. "The Psychotic Frogssss." etc.
	10:47pm lisa jane persky: The Miami's were SO great! You can still get a CD. http://www.themiamis.net/
	10:47pm Mike East: same here, Uncle Michael. Cold too. Except for the 2 inch area surrounding this essentially useless space heater
	10:48pm LovecraftDude888: Weather here in ny fruity, cold past two days, gonna be 62 by Sunday. WTF
	10:50pm Billy Jam: good show EFD
	10:51pm efd: For you youngsters in the audience, that ringing in the background was a "telephone."
	10:51pm efd: thanks Billy!
	10:52pm lisa jane persky: Here's the link for the video where Dee Dee tells the story of that tattoo: http://www.fandor.com/films/hey_is_dee_dee_home
	10:52pm LovecraftDude888: a rotary telefon (what is this a bad Bronson movie?)
	10:53pm Danne D: Hi EFD :) Hi Funk Fans :)
	10:53pm Uncle Michael: brrrrrrrrrr-ING! (yip yip yip)
	10:54pm LovecraftDude888: I have a question for Lisa: did you ever meet the chick from Great Texas Dynamite Chase (Claudia Jennings)? No idea why you might have then again she died quite young, very sad story.
	10:55pm LovecraftDude888: nevermind she died 1979! Good lord.
	10:55pm BrassKnuckles: Damn it. 3 of these guys have been dead for a while now.
	10:59pm LovecraftDude888: my friend saw The Cars at F. Hills in 84 and Suicide opened I believe.....and caught all hell!
	11:01pm LovecraftDude888: or was Wang Chung...omg
	11:05pm Loretta: Evan that sounds great!
	11:05pm Danne D: Suicide or Wang Chung...quite the divide there :)
	11:06pm phat: I just realized that Ms. Persky was on Private Eye. What an odd thing. I really enjoyed that show.
	11:06pm phat: Oh, and by the way, this show has been a truly great show. I love this.
	11:06pm LovecraftDude888: nevermind i think that show was Wang Chung opening for the Cars...but I also read they sucked arse (The Cars! prob. both) and I'm a big Cars fanatic. I saw them at MSG in 87 and they were ok....not great really.
	11:08pm LovecraftDude888: and that new Cars album was godawful!! Move Like This...Bore Like This
	11:09pm LovecraftDude888: Let Willy Deville's wife Fight If She Wants To
	11:09pm efd: Lovecraft Dude, I was at that Cars/Wang Chung show!
	11:11pm LovecraftDude888: that's insane! I dunno why I didn't go, I should've....my friend Erik from school days and HS from LI was there he's one of the hugest Cars fanatics I ever met. All of us were, actually. Levittown LI was a massive Cars fan base. The MSG show I caught was alright, Icehouse opened. They were so bloody dull.
	11:13pm Mike East: just got a second space heater...and wearing a leather jacket and fmu hoodie
	11:14pm LovecraftDude888: but how did you produce 2nd heater? went and bought one? drug it out?
	11:14pm Mike East: and blew a fuse...shit.
	11:15pm lisa jane persky: phat: I enjoyed doing that show. Loved the character and the period.
	11:15pm Mike East: found a stash in the utility closet (I'm at work)
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - read Arthur Lee & Love was an influence on Johnny...
	11:15pm Danne D: this is so great :)
	11:16pm LovecraftDude888: oh I see. Geez.
	11:16pm LovecraftDude888: where did Droll go? he buggered off
	11:16pm Mike East: damn cold, LovercraftDude
	11:16pm Ignore Function: This is awesome! Thanks Lisa and Evan.
	11:17pm phat: And KISS Meets the Phantom!
	11:17pm Mike East: please excuse the typo
	11:17pm phat: This evening just gets more interesting.
	11:19pm Mike East: have you guys discussed the CBGB's movie?
	11:21pm LovecraftDude888: I hear that movie is really, really awful.
	11:21pm LovecraftDude888: and that movie about The Germs was no prize, neither...what bullshit
	11:21pm Loretta: no, have you seen it?
	11:22pm Mike East: I have not. I assumed it would be awful.
	11:24pm LovecraftDude888: Darby Crash wearing Faerie Wings? C'mon now
	11:24pm Mike East: ...but would watch it if it happened to be on. Which isn't saying much, because I'll watch anything.
	11:26pm Loretta: wow Slade...
	11:28pm Parq: Never noticed before, but there's a lot of Kinks in "Gudbye".
	11:29pm Mike East: GREAT show tonight, evan. Thanks for sharing, lisa jane persky
	11:33pm phat: Sorry. I've had an odd evening. We were talking about KISS in the recording studio. I just now made the connection as to who Ms. Persky is. This whole show has been very entertaining. Fantastic.
	11:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I have often thot that as well-documented as everything seems to be now - all wiki-ed & YouTubed & documentaries about everything - a lot of Punk is surprisingly under-documented still - or poorly documented - or I'm just ignorant of it ! ; - That if the supposed goal of Punk was to demystify Rock & destroy & be fast & disposable - it succeeded all too well ! ...& of course 'Punk' has had a few different major 'waves' & is a debatable term for a range of things too... ...It's still outside the Mainstream values...then again diluted & diffused into it...like recently watching American Masters on Lou Reed & Hendrix & point comes up that they're still seen as druggy & degenerate, despite status as Artists...& then, (only) now also seeing Punk as part of 1970s continuum, rather than a complete disconjunct...
	11:40pm Mary Wing: Did the air signal just go out for anyone?
	11:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - altho' what the Ramones did seems on the surface very 'simple' - that is part of its' (why mince words) Pop Art Genius - so its' always interesting to get some insight on influences & where they were coming from. Thanks Very Much !
	11:41pm PJ: I lost the signal here in BK too.
	11:41pm Mike East: maybe somebody's plugging in too many space heaters at the transmitter
	11:41pm johnk77: 91.1 off the air again internet good
	11:42pm Chop Scott: EFD! Great show, but I keep losing the 91.1 air broadcast! Anyone else?
	11:43pm efd: yeah, we're having issues - we just let Ken know again.
	11:45pm jmd: ...except for a radio audience 35 years later.
	11:46pm efd: A modest radio audience.
	11:47pm Mike East: I'm not modest, efd. I think I'm awesome.
	11:47pm efd: Thank you for picking up on that straight line, Mike.
	11:48pm Mike East: somebody had to.
	11:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm modest. It's one of the things I'm proudest of.
	11:51pm jmd: Great show, thanks for sharing LJP! If you find any other interview tapes please bring them by again, anytime. Tell EFD we all said 'OK!'
	11:54pm lisa jane persky: Thanks, jmd. EFD listeners are rock solid.
	11:55pm 12539: Thanks Lisa and efd!
	11:55pm Danne D: Thanks for this great show EFD and LJP :) I have to listen striaght through on the archive tomorrow (things got all discombulated tonight). Have a great night everyone :) I'm packing up from the Starbucks
	11:56pm northguineahills: Awesome EFD!!!!
	11:57pm efd: Wow that went by FAST! So much music I didn't get to, but there's always another show. THANK YOU to everyone for tuning in tonight, and thanks of course to Lisa for sharing that fantastic interview!
	11:57pm Nick: So inspiring...Thanks EFD and Lisa! Lisa, I'm amazed you asked such insightful questions back in 1976. :-)
	11:58pm LovecraftDude888: It was arse kickin! thanks EFD and Lisa it was some great radio
	11:58pm Loretta: Lisa & Evan.. what a great show! thank you so much.
	11:59pm Parq: The Nutley talkover music was the best part of the show -- no diss to Lisa intended.

November 13, 2013: RAMONES interview from 1976, with interviewer Lisa Jane Persky live in the studio!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

On July 8th, 1976, the Ramones sat down for an interview in the offices of 16 Magazine. It was just 10 weeks after the release of their debut album. Their interviewer was not unknown to them: Lisa Jane Persky was already a regular at CBGB, and she was co-starring off-Broadway with Divine. She was also a co-founder of New York Rocker, the magazine that would publish this interview in issue #4. A couple of years ago Lisa re-discovered the cassette recording of this interview, and she shared the interview in full for the very first time on The Evan "Funk" Davies show. You'll also hear ample reminiscing about New York City at the time punk rock and the CBGB scene was just starting to take off -- with plenty of complementary music, of course! Enjoy this fascinating interview with the Ramones at the dawn of their career.

	9:13pm Uncle Ramone: I just remembered...ROCK AND ROLL RADIO.
	9:13pm Holly in NC: My one & only Ramones show also = one & only time I ever did poppers. LOVE Ramones, poppers not so much.
	9:13pm LovecraftDude888: Seems like yesterday I was at the Joey Bday Bash at Hammerstein...oh my lord. Can't even dwell on it.
	9:14pm Uncle Michael: My one show was in '79.
	9:14pm LovecraftDude888: As the Fleshtones sang."all my club hoppers/cocktails and poppers!" I never imbibed myself. I never inhaled.
	9:14pm Droll: I missed the show title and assumed another Ramone died... more than 3-in-a-row...
	9:14pm jmd: It's OK Holly, we accept you.
	9:14pm JakeGould: I want u around.
	9:15pm slocker: Hi!
	9:16pm LovecraftDude888: I was at the Joey Ramone show at Tramps around 1998 or so...was backstage for that, met Joey etc. bla bla. Was keen! My friend Matt Dj'd that between acts. I think I saw Joey later at CIH with Ronnie Spector....can't even remember anymore.
	9:17pm LovecraftDude888: Droll...would you ever consider changing avatar to a googley eyed Blancmange?
	9:18pm AZ: Ms. Persky has just informed us that "Loudmouth" is her favorite. #themoreyouknow
	9:18pm Cliff: Dunh nu nun nuh nuh nuh nh, nuh nun huh hunnu nun num mun nud dun, dunnuh duh duh dunnuh duh duh dun duh, nuh nuh dunh duh.......and so on
	9:18pm Tome: ..California Sun from "it's Alive" yeaaaaa !!!!!
	9:18pm Holly in NC: @jmb - would you be less accepting if I confessed to spending a goodly amount of time in the ladies room pre-show rubbing hands with other girls to get a reasonable transfer of the drinking-age stamp? Oh, those were the giddy, nonchalant days (early 80s)
	9:19pm taco geometry: cliff is funny
	9:20pm Susannah: Lisa and Evan <3
	9:20pm jmd: @Holly: all the more! @EFD: Where did that copy of Loudmouth come from? Sounded pretty badass, even over the internet!
	9:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Q: Who are these totally damaged goods from Queens - ?!? A: The most important band of the last 40 years.
	9:22pm LovecraftDude888: I think I once tried that it didn't work. I used to go to this stupid new wave club on LI paris NY and they had the ultraviolet stamp reading thing or ID reader and you couldn't get away with fake IDs. No way mon.
	9:24pm LovecraftDude888: She damaged that $2000 Shure mic! oh my!
	9:35pm efd: @jmd, that "Loudmouth" was from my copy of the Leave Home LP!
	9:36pm lisa jane persky: Susannah! <3
	9:36pm LovecraftDude888: Lisa have you read any of Gary Valentine's new books? Just curious....had no idea you were in so many films etc.! Big Easy is one of my faves of all time!
	9:36pm lisa jane persky: Hi, all!
	9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Is this Tommy doing most of the talking?
	9:37pm efd: erm I mean my copy of the Ramones first album! :)
	9:37pm lisa jane persky: "What she means is ....that was in the mix." That's Tommy.
	9:38pm lisa jane persky: Dee Dee now.
	9:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx.
	9:38pm LovecraftDude888: I finally picked up the Rhino boxed thing it's totally worth buying even if you own all LPs.
	9:39pm lisa jane persky: Dee Dee talking about "I thought you'd sound stupid."
	9:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I can tell Johnny, I'm pretty sure.
	9:40pm efd: "What's the first thing you're going to get?" "Get comfortable!" Love that.
	9:40pm Droll: What kind of punks are this obsessed with "playing good"?!?!
	9:41pm Mike East: I wanna get comfortable
	9:41pm lisa jane persky: LovercraftDude888, I'm very close friends with Gary, still. I've read many of his books. So happy you love The Big Easy. One of my favorites, too.
	9:42pm AZ: She never did get the tattoo fixed.
	9:43pm LovecraftDude888: "man is entitled to the best defense money can buy!" I had some correspondence with Gary a few months back, he sounds like a super nice guy.
	9:45pm spodiodi: kickass
	9:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...1976...the mind boggles.
	9:49pm scram: This is awesome and heartbreaking (and you sound sweet, not snotty, ljp).
	9:49pm LovecraftDude888: Does anybody know where to find that old 60 Minutes punk expose piece that like denounced the Ramones and the whole movement as dangerous and all? I definitely recall watching that and laughing and I was all of nine years old.
	9:50pm Loretta: very very cool....... yeah 1976!
	9:51pm Tome: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	9:51pm efd: hey Loretta! You'll likely be hearing something very familiar at some point during this show. :)
	9:51pm spodiodi: shakes it
	9:52pm Loretta: really Evan ~ looking forward to it!
	9:54pm LovecraftDude888: at that point I wouldn't have known punk from Frijid Pink.
	9:56pm Tome: ..I don't think there is anyone who doesn't have a least one fave Ramone song,,, ( and if you're a total clueless dink you have at LEAST ONe but won't admit it of course .. )
	9:58pm LovecraftDude888: I once knew a girl from LI who couldn't tolerate any Ramones and I realized marriage was not in the cards...well it wasn't anyway How can you be into like goth and stuff and not The Ramones?
	10:01pm Tome: ..even my "Archie Bunker" uncle who ie... Hated the Beatles liked them FFS !!!!
	10:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - or, to put it another way - the Ramones were (much) closer in time to Phil Spector & the Beatles & 'Nuggets' - than we are now to the Ramones when they 1st came out...
	10:10pm Uncle Ramone: Did he say he liked the comic book "Warp?"
	10:10pm Classy C: Dee Dee is into Weird War! Yes! Vampirella shout out too...nice!
	10:11pm Uncle Michael: Ah, not Warp...which I guess wasn't a comic book till '83.
	10:12pm LovecraftDude888: something else ripped off for the Heavy Metal film....I guess
	10:12pm kevin g: Is it just me that can't hear anything?
	10:12pm Parq: Anybody else listening on the airwaves just lose the signal?
	10:12pm Holly in NC: This is so great on so many levels, clicky star entire show :-)
	10:12pm LovecraftDude888: I used to buy Star Warp mag. in the early 80s or late 70s...a trash horror SF film mag.
	10:13pm LovecraftDude888: anybody recall the old Horror SF comic with the eyeballs in space eating people?
	10:13pm johnk77: problem on 91.1 internet still working transmitter possibly off air monitoring on 2 different radios
	10:14pm Nick the Bard: 91.1 went out for me too
	10:14pm efd: thanks for the air signal report Parq. calling Ken now
	10:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DC5 - Ramones influence.
	10:14pm JakeGould: Yup, dead air in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Bummer! :/
	10:14pm Uncle Michael: Lisa...he wasn't kidding about the Walker Brothers! Don't laugh!
	10:14pm kevin g: just switched to pop up player, 91.1 went out around five minutes ago for me.
	10:15pm Mike East: Hey johnk77...I heard you stopped by here earlier...I must have missed you
	10:15pm efd: thanks for the reports everyone, Ken is on the case.
	10:16pm kevin g: ah just came back on. Has Joey not said anything?
	10:16pm lisa jane persky: Uncle Michael, I know. NOT funny. But I was surprised by that answer.
	10:16pm efd: sounds like it's back now.
	10:16pm Parq: Back.
	10:17pm Meghan: It's back. I was wondering too
	10:17pm AP Mike: Yeah, Evan, the signal just came back on.
	10:17pm lisa jane persky: and Joey walks in late!
	10:17pm EL: I'm definitely going to be listening to this more than once.
	10:17pm Holly in NC: Lord. '76 I was just transitioning out of Richie Rich/Casper et.al. to Mad magazine.
	10:17pm johnk77: yay 91.1 back Mike East: you were staring intently at your monitor
	10:19pm AP Mike: I can relate to Johnny's unemployment blues.
	10:19pm Mike East: i musta zoned
	10:20pm kevin g: Now it's classical music. Change of pace!
	10:21pm JakeGould: Was back & now is off. Yay!
	10:21pm spodiodi: anyone care to explain the blinking white background on the comments list?
	10:21pm Parq: Last time, lost audio but signal was still there. This time you just dumped.
	10:22pm Meghan: Woah, bad classical now
	10:22pm AP Mike: damn, more problems with the radio signal! I'm going to listen online now.
	10:22pm efd: meghan can you please call Ken back for me
	10:22pm LovecraftDude888: not seeing any blinking white. must be the Little People!

	10:23pm LovecraftDude888: wow turned on my onkyo action and no 91.1 all static. it's out.

	10:24pm spodiodi: My internets is bustid. thx.
	10:24pm LovecraftDude888: but the radio recep. in Port Washington blows anyway!
	10:25pm Meghan: Called him, he's looking into it. Thinks it's the transmitter
	10:26pm spodiodi: Thx, Holly
	10:28pm LovecraftDude888: Gary's book on Hermes Trismegistus is next to buy for me, I hear it's great. Basis for character in THE KEEP (M Mann) leave it to a horror geek
	10:28pm Meghan: Signal back
	10:33pm Uncle Michael: Cherie Currie is still talking about David Bowie? (harfle)
	10:33pm efd: thanks Meghan
	10:35pm Julie: David Bowie is eternal
	10:36pm Julie: Evan you and Lisa better stop breaking the radio!
	10:36pm Uncle Michael: Well, yeah...but there are other things.
	10:37pm Holly in NC: Alreay on monster sleep deficit, how the HECK am I going to stay up for Julie/Cherie? Oh dear, oh dear....
	10:37pm Uncle Michael: by the way, Evan...you're to blame for the show last night. It all stemmed from Jeff Wayne.
	10:38pm Meghan: Good, Julie is here to fix things while I go pass out! Night!
	10:38pm Julie: Fix things? I only break things, ask Scott. Nite, Meghan!
	10:40pm Michael Shelley: All #1 hits! great show. M
	10:43pm kevin g: Never heard of the Miamis. Can't understand how, this is great.
	10:43pm Uncle Michael: pops! clicks!
	10:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Clicky☆ for Pop.
	10:45pm Parq: I remember when Heads did "Love Goes" during a set in Central Park in 1979 when they were touring to support "Fear of Music" and only a few people in the audience recognized it. Honesty prods me to admit, I was not one of them.
	10:46pm efd: Kevin, that Miamis song was from a CD collection that came out in 2009 - might be track-down-able.
	10:46pm Uncle Michael: I'm too tired. Ugh. I don't wanna be too tired.
	10:47pm LovecraftDude888: all those bands r namechecked in Max's Kansas City by Jayne County etc. "The Psychotic Frogssss." etc.
	10:47pm lisa jane persky: The Miami's were SO great! You can still get a CD. http://www.themiamis.net/
	10:47pm Mike East: same here, Uncle Michael. Cold too. Except for the 2 inch area surrounding this essentially useless space heater
	10:48pm LovecraftDude888: Weather here in ny fruity, cold past two days, gonna be 62 by Sunday. WTF
	10:50pm Billy Jam: good show EFD
	10:51pm efd: For you youngsters in the audience, that ringing in the background was a "telephone."
	10:51pm efd: thanks Billy!
	10:52pm lisa jane persky: Here's the link for the video where Dee Dee tells the story of that tattoo: http://www.fandor.com/films/hey_is_dee_dee_home
	10:52pm LovecraftDude888: a rotary telefon (what is this a bad Bronson movie?)
	10:53pm Danne D: Hi EFD :) Hi Funk Fans :)
	10:53pm Uncle Michael: brrrrrrrrrr-ING! (yip yip yip)
	10:54pm LovecraftDude888: I have a question for Lisa: did you ever meet the chick from Great Texas Dynamite Chase (Claudia Jennings)? No idea why you might have then again she died quite young, very sad story.
	10:55pm LovecraftDude888: nevermind she died 1979! Good lord.
	10:55pm BrassKnuckles: Damn it. 3 of these guys have been dead for a while now.
	10:59pm LovecraftDude888: my friend saw The Cars at F. Hills in 84 and Suicide opened I believe.....and caught all hell!
	11:01pm LovecraftDude888: or was Wang Chung...omg
	11:05pm Loretta: Evan that sounds great!
	11:05pm Danne D: Suicide or Wang Chung...quite the divide there :)
	11:06pm phat: I just realized that Ms. Persky was on Private Eye. What an odd thing. I really enjoyed that show.
	11:06pm phat: Oh, and by the way, this show has been a truly great show. I love this.
	11:06pm LovecraftDude888: nevermind i think that show was Wang Chung opening for the Cars...but I also read they sucked arse (The Cars! prob. both) and I'm a big Cars fanatic. I saw them at MSG in 87 and they were ok....not great really.
	11:08pm LovecraftDude888: and that new Cars album was godawful!! Move Like This...Bore Like This
	11:09pm LovecraftDude888: Let Willy Deville's wife Fight If She Wants To
	11:09pm efd: Lovecraft Dude, I was at that Cars/Wang Chung show!
	11:11pm LovecraftDude888: that's insane! I dunno why I didn't go, I should've....my friend Erik from school days and HS from LI was there he's one of the hugest Cars fanatics I ever met. All of us were, actually. Levittown LI was a massive Cars fan base. The MSG show I caught was alright, Icehouse opened. They were so bloody dull.
	11:13pm Mike East: just got a second space heater...and wearing a leather jacket and fmu hoodie
	11:14pm LovecraftDude888: but how did you produce 2nd heater? went and bought one? drug it out?
	11:14pm Mike East: and blew a fuse...shit.
	11:15pm lisa jane persky: phat: I enjoyed doing that show. Loved the character and the period.
	11:15pm Mike East: found a stash in the utility closet (I'm at work)
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - read Arthur Lee & Love was an influence on Johnny...
	11:15pm Danne D: this is so great :)
	11:16pm LovecraftDude888: oh I see. Geez.
	11:16pm LovecraftDude888: where did Droll go? he buggered off
	11:16pm Mike East: damn cold, LovercraftDude
	11:16pm Ignore Function: This is awesome! Thanks Lisa and Evan.
	11:17pm phat: And KISS Meets the Phantom!
	11:17pm Mike East: please excuse the typo
	11:17pm phat: This evening just gets more interesting.
	11:19pm Mike East: have you guys discussed the CBGB's movie?
	11:21pm LovecraftDude888: I hear that movie is really, really awful.
	11:21pm LovecraftDude888: and that movie about The Germs was no prize, neither...what bullshit
	11:21pm Loretta: no, have you seen it?
	11:22pm Mike East: I have not. I assumed it would be awful.
	11:24pm LovecraftDude888: Darby Crash wearing Faerie Wings? C'mon now
	11:24pm Mike East: ...but would watch it if it happened to be on. Which isn't saying much, because I'll watch anything.
	11:26pm Loretta: wow Slade...
	11:28pm Parq: Never noticed before, but there's a lot of Kinks in "Gudbye".
	11:29pm Mike East: GREAT show tonight, evan. Thanks for sharing, lisa jane persky
	11:33pm phat: Sorry. I've had an odd evening. We were talking about KISS in the recording studio. I just now made the connection as to who Ms. Persky is. This whole show has been very entertaining. Fantastic.
	11:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I have often thot that as well-documented as everything seems to be now - all wiki-ed & YouTubed & documentaries about everything - a lot of Punk is surprisingly under-documented still - or poorly documented - or I'm just ignorant of it ! ; - That if the supposed goal of Punk was to demystify Rock & destroy & be fast & disposable - it succeeded all too well ! ...& of course 'Punk' has had a few different major 'waves' & is a debatable term for a range of things too... ...It's still outside the Mainstream values...then again diluted & diffused into it...like recently watching American Masters on Lou Reed & Hendrix & point comes up that they're still seen as druggy & degenerate, despite status as Artists...& then, (only) now also seeing Punk as part of 1970s continuum, rather than a complete disconjunct...
	11:40pm Mary Wing: Did the air signal just go out for anyone?
	11:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - altho' what the Ramones did seems on the surface very 'simple' - that is part of its' (why mince words) Pop Art Genius - so its' always interesting to get some insight on influences & where they were coming from. Thanks Very Much !
	11:41pm PJ: I lost the signal here in BK too.
	11:41pm Mike East: maybe somebody's plugging in too many space heaters at the transmitter
	11:41pm johnk77: 91.1 off the air again internet good
	11:42pm Chop Scott: EFD! Great show, but I keep losing the 91.1 air broadcast! Anyone else?
	11:43pm efd: yeah, we're having issues - we just let Ken know again.
	11:45pm jmd: ...except for a radio audience 35 years later.
	11:46pm efd: A modest radio audience.
	11:47pm Mike East: I'm not modest, efd. I think I'm awesome.
	11:47pm efd: Thank you for picking up on that straight line, Mike.
	11:48pm Mike East: somebody had to.
	11:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm modest. It's one of the things I'm proudest of.
	11:51pm jmd: Great show, thanks for sharing LJP! If you find any other interview tapes please bring them by again, anytime. Tell EFD we all said 'OK!'
	11:54pm lisa jane persky: Thanks, jmd. EFD listeners are rock solid.
	11:55pm 12539: Thanks Lisa and efd!
	11:55pm Danne D: Thanks for this great show EFD and LJP :) I have to listen striaght through on the archive tomorrow (things got all discombulated tonight). Have a great night everyone :) I'm packing up from the Starbucks
	11:56pm northguineahills: Awesome EFD!!!!
	11:57pm efd: Wow that went by FAST! So much music I didn't get to, but there's always another show. THANK YOU to everyone for tuning in tonight, and thanks of course to Lisa for sharing that fantastic interview!
	11:57pm Nick: So inspiring...Thanks EFD and Lisa! Lisa, I'm amazed you asked such insightful questions back in 1976. :-)
	11:58pm LovecraftDude888: It was arse kickin! thanks EFD and Lisa it was some great radio
	11:58pm Loretta: Lisa & Evan.. what a great show! thank you so much.
	11:59pm Parq: The Nutley talkover music was the best part of the show -- no diss to Lisa intended.
