12:05pm Handy Haversack:

Yay, Michele! Thanks and praise!

12:05pm Candy-O'67:

Hey, Joe! Surprised to see ZZ Top at the start of the show!

👻

12:05pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Just to be safe, checking news reports on ZZ Top. All is well, thankfully. Their first album came out fifty years ago.

12:06pm Carmichael:

Heya Joe, Michele and rekkid luvahs.

12:06pm Candy-O'67:

Good to know, Ken from Hyde Park!

12:06pm Yes:

12:07pm tim from champaign (now washington):

Hey Joe - what do you think about the next Performance Series coming out of Crazy Horse in 1990?

12:07pm Son Of Pantz:

Godfather of Grunge!

12:08pm Joe B:

can't wait to get it. have had the feedback is back bootleg for years

12:08pm Chop Scott:

Hey Joe!

12:08pm Guido from Cologne:

Hello everybody!

12:08pm Tim 07030:

Hi Joe! I saw one of the ZZ guys on Washington St several years ago, they were staying at the Hoboken W. No Neil sightings to-date.

12:09pm -Ken:

Thanks for the TNT Joe! Do you know where this is from? Assuming it was live

12:10pm Candy-O'67:

Remember when ZZ Top was all over MTV? MTV when it started, those were the days in the '80's. That was my entertainment many an afternoon after school and beyond!

12:10pm Joe B:

@ken - recorded at his ranch studio, march 6 1974. he just snuck it onto his website last thursday.

👻

12:12pm tim from champaign (now washington):

@Candy - wasn't there some ZZ Top promotion of winning a cruise with them on the Hudson River?

👻

12:13pm tim from champaign (now washington):

Maybe I'm confusing that with John Cougar promo of winning a pink house. "Paint the mother pink!"

12:14pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Roll over Len Barry & tell the Geator the news

12:14pm Pauly from Clifton:

Hey Joe B, Crew, folks!

12:14pm Tim 07030:

I went to high school on Route 22.

12:14pm -Ken:

Joe has he released any board recordings of that live TNT tour? Ive heard some boots where TNT went on for 40 minutes adn really devolved in a glorious way

12:14pm HyperDose:

Hey it's Joe B and his Montes!

12:14pm Candy-O'67:

@Tim, I don't remember that far back. You have a great memory if you remember details like that!

12:15pm -Ken:

I use to have to drive to Route Electronics on Route 22 all the damn time to find spare parts for our ancient Gates transmitter

12:15pm Candy-O'67:

@Tim, I just remember spending hours in front of the TV watching all the music videos

12:16pm Joe B:

@ken - so far just that roxy cd that came out in 2018. supposedly the rainbow 1973 show will be coming this year for record store day

12:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Knowing the earliest ZZTop albums still on the to-do list.

👻

12:17pm tim from champaign (now washington):

@Candy - well, like you I spent a lot of time after school with MTV. Ask me about last week, that's another story.

12:17pm Listener Bop Monroe:

greetings from sunny Tannersville.
strong 1st set Mr. JB!

12:18pm David (in London):

If you knew how the 80s would sound and took that knowledge back to 1971, you probably wouldn't have laid any bets on ZZ Top being massive stars in that era. I always admired the way they managed to integrate the 80s sound (which could be pretty bad at times, all those Fairlight synth stabs) and yet keep on being excellent and true to themselves.

12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Good growl for '65.

12:18pm Joe B:

pre-Eliminator, to me, is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz top

👻

12:18pm xtrakrispy:

I used to take my college girlfriends from Rutgers New Brunswick to Washington Rock off 22 in the Watchung Mountains, then go to Texas Roadhouse.

👻

12:19pm tim from champaign (now washington):

@RRN - when you get to Tres Hombres you have to go for the vinyl. That album has the greatest gatefold in the history of gatefolds.

12:19pm Nick:

Where is that Neil Young Tonight's the Night from?

12:19pm Joe B:

outtake released last week on his website

12:20pm SmokinJ:

Mornin' jb & all! 8-)

👻

12:20pm tim from champaign (now washington):

That's a might bold statement, Joe!

12:20pm Nick:

Thanks Joe appreciate it!

12:20pm Roberto:

What I Like About Looking in Your Eyes

12:21pm Handy Haversack:

tim: you speak loads of truth about that gatefold. I see it in my dreams. Goblets of Cheese will be my cover band.

12:21pm Steve from Dunwoody:

Thanks from ATL!

12:22pm spodiodi:

good morning, Joe B. & Three Chordties!

12:22pm johnk77:

@roberto correct

👻

12:23pm tim from champaign (now washington):

@Handy - excellent name for a cover band!

12:23pm Handy Haversack:

"Here Comes Henry"! So good! RIP, Hammering Hank.

12:23pm David (in London):

Move over babe, here comes Webhamster Henry.

👻

12:24pm James in ATL:

@Steve from Dunwoody - I agree, Thanks Joe!

12:24pm mariano:

Hey Joe B, Crew, folks! Coming up for air... [gasp!] OK, back to work.

12:25pm Gaylord Fields:

Hi, Joe! Bill Slayback's later song, "Move Over Henry, Here Come Steroids," wasn't as well regarded.

12:25pm JG:

Afternoon Joe. Agree , the true home run champion. Was unaware of some of his other records, like all time leader in RBIs! upper echelon of HOF

👻

12:25pm tim from champaign (now washington):

Whoa, great history on Bill Slaybeck. In the late 90s, I worked for a non-profit social service agency. They had an annual celebrity dinner fund raiser, One year Ernie Harwell was the guest speaker. He was the best!

12:26pm Patolds:

Amen - Hank Aaron, the real all time home run champ

12:26pm mb:

Hola Joe B. Great start.

That ZZ Top jam will always be remember as high on the list of my priests (Catholic) dangerous songs, in his opinion. Will never forget my friends Mom standing up and berating him in the middle of Mass after hearing "Songs like Slip in to my Sleeping Bag and....

12:26pm Sweet Corn Lizzie:

"Here comes Henry" is great! Starring it to play for my husband. Tim, that's cool.
Hi Joe, Spodiodi, Handy, Krys, Ken, and all

12:29pm spodiodi:

bummed i missed ZZ Top!

aloha, Lizzie!

12:30pm Mike Sin:

Bill Slayback retired after a short career in the majors because after that single took off and went platinum, he went on the road opening for Bachman Turner Overdrive throughout the US. He then got thrown off the tour for pitching fastballs at Tim Turner's head during the BTO set.*

* I at least entertained myself making all this up.

12:31pm HyperDose:

Man, this swings!

12:31pm Hubig Pie:

Had a gander at that gatefold. Whole lotta cheese and corn products goin on. Can just imagine separating the seeds and stems from your dirtweed on that one

12:32pm Gaylord Fields:

@Mike Sin: And yet PBS gives Ken Burns a nine-part documentary instead of you.

12:34pm Mike Sin:

@Gaylord -- I can't believe Ken Burns left all my insightful and detailed MLB stories on the cutting room floor when he assembled his comprehensive documentary! ;)

12:34pm mariano:

Oh yeah, anyone notice that the horn blast in "Sleeping Bag" sounds like the one from Siouxsie's "Peek-a-Boo" and maybe also "Owner of a Lonely Heart"?

12:36pm Handy Haversack:

Hey, Lizzie, spodi, Hubig!

👻

12:36pm tim from champaign (now washington):

I keep forgetting t hat Carnival Crash is from days of yore. This is so new sounding.

12:36pm mariano:

Hubig: I don't know why I hadn't done this already years ago, but I just singed up with PBS. For $5/month you get access to their archives, including all the Ken Burns stuff, plus "American Experience," "American Masters," and a bunch of others. One of the best deals out there.

12:37pm morphe':

MB - do you remember (maybe still) The weekly Catholic Tablet had a list of banned entertainment .. I only remember The Godfather film (for the sex scene)(pg 27??57??? in the book) and HEE HAW..

12:40pm Hubig Pie:

Cheers, Mr Handy, mariano

12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

If you don't repress Sexuality bad things will happen to our Children ...how's that workin' for ya Catholicism. Well they're Liberal from the waist up. & outside the bank...

12:41pm spodiodi:

hey Handy!

12:42pm Handy Haversack:

You sounded great on the WABAM this morning, morphe'!

👻

12:42pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Hi, Lizzie. Happy Monday!

12:42pm Ryan:

Love Mondays with Joe!

12:43pm Amy:

Haven't bought the new Kacy & Clayton & Marlon yet for some reason, but that track reminds me that I should fix that.

12:43pm Hubig Pie:

Morphe, have you read the Godfather book? A whole chapter is devoted to Lucy Mancini having an operation so's she can enjoy sex

12:45pm Ryan:

Tuesdays with Matt, Wednesdays with Ken and Duane Thursdays.....I could go on and on

12:45pm McGroovey:

Crash at Lake Placebo - great title. Wish I'd thought of it.

12:46pm Gaylord Fields:

@Mike Sin: I'd watch "Mike Sin Burns Ken Burns Baseball"!

12:47pm Mr_Skynet:

My Groove-O-Matic meter is steadily climbing!

12:48pm morphe':

Handy - I wanted Maribel to hear it since i gave her a shout out but we missed it (sad face emoji)

Hubig Pie - read the GF even before the film came out - all us Catholic school boys knew the wedding sex scene page(27 or 57 seems right???) ... My father(Irish Catholic) beat my sister when she told him she had gone to see it. He read the Tablet...

12:48pm McGroovey:

My copy of Ecstasy Rhymes is supposed to arrive today.

12:48pm Candy-O'67:

@Tim, haha! I just saw your last response to me :)

12:49pm mariano:

Hubig: YES! I'm so glad Coppola omitted that part, what was that even doing in there?

12:50pm David (in London):

Mariano, it was one of the pre-sets on the Fairlight. Along with the breaking glass sound you also hear on many records of that era. The Art of Noise used them all in a single track. It's practically a checklist.

Yo morphester. Damn, I missed your starring slot.

12:50pm Hubig Pie:

Only Sonny was well enough endowed to give her pleasure

12:53pm morphe':

David van der Stoke - thought it might not make it in/on .... nothing negative inside, but wasn't sure it reached the heights of W&B positivity ... I did spread some Pixie Dust ...

12:54pm Handy Haversack:

"Way to go, jerk-off": that sums things up pretty neatly.

12:55pm Mike Sin:

I never missed a Midas board as much as I miss the one in Studio B!

12:55pm paddy in matawan:

Not to be confused with the Gleaming Spires from Revenge of the Nerds soundtrack fame.

12:55pm Handy Haversack:

Mariano, Hubig, morph, there is a TON of cringe in that novel. It's ... not good.

12:56pm mb:

@morphe': No. Trying to remember what other bands were in that sermon, tho. They were hair bands and need to consult with friends to recall if Stryper was one of them.

12:57pm hifivicky:

HWM into the Bats is like poetry 😍

12:58pm Son Of Pantz:

That SOB shouldn't enjoy another moment for the rest of his life. I figured SDNY would have hauled his ass in front of a judge by now. SCOTUS already dropped the emoluments case.

12:59pm morphe':

GodFather book sex scene - just looked it up - I REMEMBERERD CORRECTLY!!! = page 27... actually that is probably sad that I can still remember - 50 years ago....

1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...I mean - the Mail's *still* slow. THE MAIL.

1:00pm Patolds:

Let’s not forget Sadaharu Oh hit 868 HRs for the Japanese baseball league

1:01pm Mike W:

wasn’t Cincinnati also the home of the famous Sudsy Malone’s, both a laundromat *and* a live rock club?

1:01pm Son Of Pantz:

That's correct @Mike W. Saw many great shows there.

1:01pm Handy Haversack:

Deep brewing history in Cincinnati. We used to brew two varieties of a Cincinnati pale, one blond and one red, and we called them Tuesday Weld and Ann-Margaret and the pair of them the Cincinnati Kid's Dilemma.

1:02pm mariano:

David (@12:50): Ah, OK, was wondering if it was something like that, thanks. It's something like the the airhorn sound in Dancehall then.

👻

1:02pm tim from champaign (now washington):

Cincinnati Suds is a great band name,

1:02pm Patolds:

Of course Hank Aaron is still number one, but I just like saying “Sadaharu Oh.”

1:02pm Andres:

Hey Joe and all! An appropriate Uncle Junior quote might be "I've been farting into the same sofa cushion for eighteen months." Except ten months.

1:03pm Skillet:

Idk if its right to just hate Phil Specter, I mean the man was severely mentally ill and it went unchecked throughout most, if not all, his life, due to the position of power he was in. Treating/recognizing mental illness in the 20th century was fairly rudimentary and so on... man im stoned

1:03pm Patolds:

...especially saying “Sadaharu Oh” like Andrew Dice Clay

1:04pm Joe B:

stop with the mentally ill excuse. dude abused his power and position, and was enabled for decades

1:04pm Son Of Pantz:

Cincy also puts spaghetti and nutmeg in there chili, so they did make mistakes from time to time.

1:04pm Candy-O'67:

@Tim, I agree with that

1:05pm Mike Sin:

Ma, so sorry to hear about Adam from Thee Shams.

@Mike W -- that place was the practical club for local bands on tour! I actually played a set then 20 minutes later did my laundry for the rest of the tour. The best part of playing there -- hearing the whirring of the machines mixed in with the clapping between songs!

1:06pm David (in London):

Mike W, that sounds amazing. I'm straight onto the internet to get all over that one.

1:07pm Stevel:

Where's the goat? Ken?

1:08pm Skillet:

Joe B- I agree, but like you said, he was enabled too. Had he been doing what he did today, I feel like he would have been stopped/institutionalized before getting to the point of murdering someone. At the least they would take his guns away. Then again man, I dont know. Love your show though

1:09pm mariano:

morphe': Even though I was raised Catholic, it was pretty chill because some segments of the Church were trying to be all cool in the 70s: my grandparents took us all to see "JC Superstar," two of my aunts sang "My Sweet Lord" at mass once, including the "Hare Krishna" parts, unbelievably enough in retrospect. When we moved to the Bible-Belt part of north Louisiana starting when I was 12, though, I got tons of books by dubious "pastors" on the eeee-villes of rock-n-roll, which I have to say, made excellent record-buying guides, lots of stuff I wouldn't have heard of otherwise. Plus they gave all the music that extra bit of allure.

👻

1:09pm tim from champaign (now washington):

@Candy - great minds!

1:10pm Carmichael:

I played guitar in folk mass for several years with classmates. My 1st band, guess you could say.

1:11pm David (in London):

Mariano, ha ha, yeah, they hadn't really thought that 'list of prohibited records' through, had they? "Thanks, this is really helpful!"

1:11pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Joe I started a new job in Monmouth Co so I’m on the beach right now enjoying your show

1:11pm Candy-O'67:

@Tim, you betcha!

👻

1:12pm John L:

Joe Camarillo, drummer for the Waco Brothers and many others, also passed away this weekend.

1:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Hm. Both bats*t & caused great harm. They say the abuser is most often the abused. & it's the cycle that must end. Why didn't it? Society, the times & show biz - power. We can't let his significance to Music blind us to the harm. Even subconsciously. & don't get me started on guns...

1:13pm Chop Scott:

Sounding great Joe!

1:13pm morphe':

Mariano - yes the church's anti-stuff was required listening, watching, reading ..study...

1:13pm johnk77:

bogart's another rock venue
i just learned that
rocknroll laundry is

👻

1:14pm Artie:

Loving these Cincinnati Suds tracks. Did they ever do any physical releases, or is it all digital/trades?

1:15pm Ryan:

@ Mariano our new POTUS is catholic!

1:15pm Son Of Pantz:

@Mike Sin did you ever tour through Louisville? If so, you probably played at Tewligan's.

👻

1:15pm tim from champaign (now washington):

This has a Dead Moon vibe which is A-OK with me.

1:15pm Joe B:

artie, they were released, at least on cd

👻

1:17pm Artie:

thx joe. i'll have to try and track 'em down.

1:18pm medson:

Hey there Joe B. Show sounds great.

1:18pm bobsmart567:

Exceptional show today

1:18pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

This Shams track has a Deeeetroit vibe to it

1:20pm Kat:

RIP Adam! Suds Forever!

1:20pm Mike Sin:

@Son Of Pantz -- never did roll through Louisville on tour.

1:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Bringin' it.

1:20pm Andres:

Enjoying Thee Shams very much! Your band better be good if you want to join the "Thee" club.

1:20pm mariano:

Ryan: Yeah, I know. Like I said, the Catholic portion of my upbringing was chill. It was the Bible-Belt Baptists, Pentecostals, and such that were flogging the anti-rock books. Thanks for playing though, have a participation trophy with a big "45" on it ;)

1:22pm Son Of Pantz:

@Mike Sin I only ask because bands that played at Sudsy's would hit Louisville next. At least that's how it waas in the 90's.

1:22pm Candy-O'67:

Great set, Joe!

1:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Jack Chick Comix !

1:24pm Handy Haversack:

Great tribute set, Joe.

1:24pm Hubig Pie:

I've mentioned this before but me kitty is named Suds, due to his penchant for sleeping in the sink

1:24pm spodiodi:

<3 Suds

1:25pm mariano:

RevRabbit: I LOVE Jack Chick comics, some of the most hilariously insane things ever written.

1:26pm Mike East:

"Orange skinned idiot" just made me chuckle out loud.
Great show, Joe.

1:26pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine):

I was raised Catholic and actually went to Catholic school for several years. I like to joke (as an atheist) that the only thing I got out of it is a strange attraction to plaid.

1:27pm David (in London):

Hubig, is he Suds Terkel?

👻

1:28pm David Shortell:

I ain't seen Thee Shams since January 21, 2005 at Asbury Lanes.

1:28pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Send Johnny Mnemonic to the station to pick up the files!

1:28pm Handy Haversack:

It's technically my fault Black Leaf died, Mariano.

1:29pm Listener Bop Monroe:

RR - "Hello There", "Somebody Up There Loves Me" and all the rest.
remember you'll burn in hell no matter what you do.
why? because he LOVES YOU!

1:29pm Hubig Pie:

DIL, his full name be Suds Magee

1:29pm Marley P. Dogg:

Hang in there Joe B. - this decade sucks - as Clay would - sending pixie dust

1:29pm mariano:

Handy: LOL! Now that your character is 9th level, it's time you learned some *real* spells.

1:30pm Joe McG:

So sorry to hear about Tom Stevens. I was very excited to see the Long Ryders at Monty Hall since I never saw them in their '80s heyday and they delivered. The whole band was super friendly, too. What a bummer.

👻

1:31pm tim from champaign (now washington):

@Joe - did you have someone from the Long Riders on your show in 2019? My apologies if you said this, I missed your mic break.

1:31pm David (in London):

Hubig, Suds Magee is very cool. Like a character from a 50s noir.

1:31pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

@JoeMcG: the LR’s sure did
@Joe B: thanks for all o’this today

👻

1:32pm tim from champaign (now washington):

"Metallic BO" is one of the great weisenheimer album titles.

1:32pm Hubig Pie:

DIL, he does like to hang in the shadows

1:33pm mariano:

"The Long Riders" is a pretty cool cowboy flick too, Walter Hill's follow-up to "The Warriors."

1:33pm Joe B:

@tim - yeah sid griffin

1:33pm Joe B:

and stephen mccarthy in 2016

👻

1:34pm tim from champaign (now washington):

That's right. Thanks, Joe.

1:36pm Mike Sin:

RIP Tom Stevens... that is very sad... I can't remember the exact date, but sometime in 1985, the Long Ryders played the Ritz... I had never seen them previously and only had the records... I was quite excited! It was a terrific show... I remember "I Had a Dream" being specifically intense.

1:37pm Andrew_in_WI:

@Mariano Ry Cooder did the soundtrack for that one

1:40pm Handy Haversack:

Not sure I've ever consciously heard the Long Ryders before -- really enjoying. Thanks, Joe!

1:41pm George in WO:

Hey Hoboken Jack, thanks for holding my beer at that 2019 Long Ryders show at the hall of Monty.

1:42pm mariano:

Andrew: Oh yeah, that's right! Nice acoustic slide guitar. Need to look that one up and watch again. It also featured sets of real-life brothers playing the James, Younger, and Miller gangs (the Keaches, Carradines and Quaids, respectively). And an up-and-coming Christopher Guest and his brother Nicholas make an appearance as the Ford brothers.

1:43pm Don:

Love this band! So sad, thanks Joe for this set!

1:43pm Joe B:

@handy - and this is just one of their three songwritiers

1:44pm David (in London):

I might have to join you in a re-watching of that one Mariano. My son and I watched The Wild Bunch recently, so that seems like a good follow on.

1:44pm Rich in Bay Ridge:

Damn, bummer about Tom Stevens. I really enjoyed this last record of theirs.

1:45pm Dennis Diken:

Thanks for the trib Joe, I’ll be raising a glass to Tom and The Long Ryders later tonite.

1:47pm McGroovey:

I'm sorry I couldn't make the Long Ryders' Monty Hall show. I love them. I wonder what I could have been doing that was more important?

1:47pm BNowBe OnSomeShit:

This has been one awesome show today!
Awesome tunes !!

1:50pm mariano:

David: It's a date, I'll book my plane ticket.

The thing that really got me about it the most as a kid was the slow-motion gun battle with the highly graphic way the shots landed and the blood went flying.

👻

1:50pm John L:

When I moved to Baltimore, in 1990, I dumped many of my lps. This Danny and Dusty is one of the few I kept. Still have it.

1:51pm Andrew in Toronto:

Hi there Joe and everybody else.

1:59pm Cal Zone!:

Loved the Long Ryders in the 80s and caught them live in Buffalo way back when. Also the Danny and Dusty lp still holds up well, where many of the records of the 80s do not... RIP Tom Stevens

1:59pm Andy Jody:

Thanks for the tribute to Adam. He loved ya man. Seeds, ? & the Mysterians, Chuck, or Bo if you wanna play any of his all time favs. Cheers Joe! - AJ, Suds.

Jefferson Airplane put out a reunion album?

2:13pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine):

The Jefferson Airplane reunion album was as awesome as post-Eliminator ZZ Top. ;-)

P.S. Loooooovin' this show today.

2:14pm David (in London):

Funnily enough I saw an old interview with Grace Slick recently in which she said how much they all hated that reunion album.

2:14pm Spankyflop:

The Long Ryders Monty Hall show is still on the Free Music Archive: freemusicarchive.org...

2:14pm Handy Haversack:

You're doing an awesome job, Joe -- show sounds great! Noplace I'd rather be.

@Handy In Blue Hill on the water? OK, maybe not today.

👻

2:18pm Mike From Brooklyn:

@Joe Belock - Sounds great, despite the pandemic bullshit you have to put up with. Thanks for continuing to push through it. You're helping me and probably a lot of us here deal with it and stay (somewhat) sane.

2:18pm HyperDose:

@Spankyflop There's video here: vimeo.com...

@spanky - i was referring to the 2019 show but thanks

2:19pm Danny in Poughkeepsie:

As always great show Joe

2:19pm Handy Haversack:

I suppose I wouldn't mind being there and *looking* at the water ... next to fire ... with a drink ... listening to 3CM!

2:19pm mariano:

But David, they built that city on rock-n-roll. What are *your* accomplishments in rock-based urban planning?

thanks handy and everyone, appreciate it

2:22pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine):

@Handy It's bright and sunny but 28 degrees with some wind. Not so great. Though Downeast magazine recently published a pic of a guy who likes to do paddle boarding all winter. Looked kind of crazy on that thing in a survival suit.

2:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Woods - it's the long haul up here now...

2:25pm David in London:

Actually Mariano, God gave rock and roll to me, so I feel fully justified in sitting in judgement on their construction methods.

2:26pm Handy Haversack:

Yeah, Woods, I know some gearheads who go out all winter here. It's, uh, not for Handy Haversack. I might do it if (when) we get a 50ish winter's day.

2:26pm dano59:

I heard "Green Power" on a recent money-themed program on WPRB. I was surprised the DJ didn't go with Little Richard's "Money Is" from the Warren Beatty/Goldie Hawn film "Dollar$".
