WFMU: Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 3, 2022

Listener comments!
	11:54am WLSClark: "It was the third of June, another sleepy sunny summer day. I was out of school and my bothers and I were ready to play!"
	11:55am WLSClark: Oops, "brothers"
	12:00pm listener james from westwood: Good Friday, UM and all!
	12:00pm dan: Good afternoon all.
	12:00pm doctorjazz: Hi, UM, Hinks and Dinks!
	12:00pm βrian: Hola, fellow prairie turnips.
	12:00pm Paul from Owen Sound: Hi, Uncle Michael! Happy Friday, everyone!
	12:01pm spodiodi: greetings, UM and HDT Shopper-listeners!
	12:01pm adamdoesit: Hey UM and outta-heres! I'm breaking out the buzzsaw like Paper Boi in the courtyard. Buzzsaw guitar for everyone!
	12:02pm Irene Trudel: Hey UM! Glad to be the lead-in for today.
	12:02pm doctorjazz: No Twitch Video today!
	12:03pm WLSClark: Looked like 1/3 of Kansas was in flood warnings 2 days ago! Hardly summer like?
	12:03pm egould: I wore shorts outside yesterday. It’s officially Summer.
	12:03pm βrian: Shorts and iced coffee. Yep.
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: Clark! james! dan! Doc! Brian! Paul! spodi! adam! Irene! egould!
	12:04pm dan: I assume that Alice Cooper's "School's Out" or a version of it will be played on today's show.
	12:04pm WLSClark: We almost headed off on vacation the first day after school was out in 60's. Loved it!
	12:04pm βrian: Ali Scooper.
	12:04pm Asheville Jon: hello one and all
	🛒 12:05pm Brian in UK: Uncle.
	12:05pm βrian: UM, if you were wearing a cardigan, you'd have your own entourage, so to speak.
	12:05pm doctorjazz: Planted some herbs, tomatoes, peppers in a raised planter box in the yard 2 days ago. I have no idea what to do with it...(my daughter set it up when she was sheltering here from the initial NY Pandemic, figure I should do SOMETHING with it). Rained yesterday, that's good, I think everything is still alive in there...
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Jon! BiUK. (twitch is up)
	12:07pm dan: Everyone in NYC has their last day of school at the end of June. Meanwhile, in the rest of the country, it's already summer vacation. The only solace is that while everyone else goes back to school in August when it's still 90-100 degrees outside, NYC enjoys summer vacation and then goes back as the weather cools down.
	12:07pm egould: Hi Uncle Michael! Play real good songs today.
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: I refuse.
	12:08pm WLSClark: These guys shoulda sang commercials and radio jingles!
	12:08pm βrian: Now that it's June, we're probably going to have to mow the lawn.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: I refuse.
	12:08pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Good day, UM and Dinks!
	12:08pm WLSClark: Brian, where do YOU live? I have mowed a dozen times or more already in Lincoln!
	🛒 12:08pm Alvy Singer: Hi Uncle Michael. The play whatever the hell you want then. :)
	12:09pm βrian: "My Home Town, " for example?
	12:09pm dan: I saw The Four Freshmen open for Rich Little at Queensborough Community College years ago. By then, the members of the original lineup had either retired or died.
	12:09pm doctorjazz: I understand there are some towns that are mandating NOT mowing lawns, letting them grow naturally-to help increase the bee population.
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Hopey! Alvy!
	12:10pm βrian: @WLSClark: We're in Madison, WI. Most neighbors conspired to not mow during the month of May.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Currently, I am legally "The Four Freshmen".
	12:10pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Lena Zavaroni! I remember seeing her on daytime talks shows back in the day.
	12:11pm Asheville Jon: conspired? i thought there was a general "movement" to not mow in may to allow for pollinators to have stuff to pollinate? pretty sure i read that somewhere.
	12:11pm dan: Lena Zavaroni was the subject of a joke in "Are You Being Served". I had to look her up to understand the meaning. It made sense.
	12:12pm Andres: Hi, Uncle Michael! A 1/10th version of this show, please, at the end of the month when Canadian kids are out.
	12:12pm βrian: @Asheville Jon: Exaaaaaactly.
	12:12pm chresti: Hi hinky dinky Uncle Michael time show!
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Andres! chresti!
	🛒 12:13pm Phillippe: Howdy! It's Fri-yay!
	12:13pm βrian: A few years back, our neighbor let the grass get to over two feet. It looked so damn good, like a pastoral dreamland.
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Phillippe!
	12:14pm WLSClark: I cant take it NO MOW! ;)
	12:15pm Asheville Jon: well Brian, even if i am wrong, i could have easily used that as an 'out' if my neighbors complained about me not cutting my yard (which they don't, because they cut theirs even fewer times than i do!)
	12:15pm StringOFperils: Creepy B-side to School's Out. Don't think this'd get issued as such today.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: SOp!
	12:16pm StringOFperils: Probably just stunk up the room. Sorry, UM. Hi, how are you today?
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: I'm about a good as I get. Thanks for asking.
	12:17pm βrian: Our front yard is almost sod-free now. Slowly but surely. Garlic has taken pride of place, for the moment.
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: The Gilroy of the Isthmus?
	12:18pm dan: Alice Cooper with a Scots accent.
	12:19pm StringOFperils: A wee hiatus for the bairns. Aye.
	12:19pm βrian: We have a good friend who grew up in NM (I think. Maybe TX) He calls it "skewel."
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: cewel!
	12:20pm βrian: @UM: I wish. We always run out by January. Gots to expand.
	12:21pm Listening Out There: Speaking of Alice, an area shopkeeper had a picture of him in her shop. Bit of a surprise that he's up here in the Pacific Northwest...
	12:21pm dan: @Brian "Skewel" sounds like it should be the title of an Irvine Welsh novel.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: LOT!
	12:22pm StringOFperils: The novel of Begby's childhood.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Sorry dan....just saw your question. Both.
	🛒 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Too Kewl !!...
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Rev!
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: What rhymes with "innocence"?
	12:24pm Listening Out There: Recently, Alice was unable to auction his recently-found Warhol. Must be rough...
	🛒 12:24pm PAULS: howdy doody rootie poot hinky dinky timers
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: unable? lost the NFT?
	12:24pm StringOFperils: Ha' tuppence
	🛒 12:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'we can't even think of a word that rhymes!' - simply the best.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: PAULS!
	12:26pm Listening Out There: UM, deets here: www.artlyst.com...
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: danke
	12:26pm Lizardner Dave !: As a lifelong New Yorker it's weird to hear all this when there's 3 weeks to go in the school year.
	12:27pm Andres: My kids K to 8 school’s VP was a drummer. Every year he was there he blasted School’s Out on the outdoor speakers right after the final bell on the last day. Tradition ended when he left.
	12:27pm Listening Out There: Huh. By coincidence, he got it during the Schools Out tour...
	🛒 12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Say! ...was just thinking the wall over the Lucas perch back there could use something...
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	12:28pm doctorjazz: Gary "U.S." Bonds is one of those bands that's recognizable in a few notes.
	12:31pm Listening Out There: I think it was in Alice's memoir that he describes getting career advice from Groucho Marx. Not a lot of musicians can boast o' that, y'knows...
	12:31pm dan: Whatever "thing" Lena Zavaroni might be today, she's not alive to experience it. Died in 1999.
	12:32pm chresti: Do you have speakers in the house and outside in case you need to make an announcement?
	12:33pm efd: Irwin’s not on today, you’re a week early.
	🛒 12:33pm KevinfromBayRidge: Good day all. FYI, Irwin doesn't start till week, Unc.
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: Kin Vassy singing? Probably.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: efd...GODDAMIT
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	🛒 12:37pm KevinfromBayRidge: Crossed over and sent regards to JA and crowd!
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, man!
	12:38pm chresti: Listen to the Teacher by U-Roy is a nice school related tune.
	12:38pm egould: Exit From Vince Lombardi High School - Shadowy Men In School -Die Kreuzen Joe Goes to School -Car Seat Headrest Joe Gets Kicked Out of School for Using Drugs…. - Car Seat Headrest
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: VLHS was the school in Rock and Roll High School
	12:40pm StringOFperils: Teacher, Teacher by Rockpile
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: damn, you good
	12:42pm goyim in the am: Prepare the TRIGGERED effect again for this set.
	🛒 12:42pm KevinfromBayRidge: According to SM Ken, Uncle ITT( homepage) is keeping in rhythm to all streams at all times!
	12:42pm StringOFperils: Phew. Looks like I passed.
	12:42pm Dean Halen: Hot for Teacher
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Dean Hagar!
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: goyim!
	12:43pm TDK60: Hi Uncle Michael! // Fuck the NRA!
	12:43pm doctorjazz: Love Rockpile!
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: TDK!
	12:45pm dan: Elton John - Teacher I Need You
	12:45pm Uncle Sinner: Ambassador to the UM.
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Teacher Big Stuff? sinner!
	12:46pm egould: Needs more “Who do you think you are?”
	12:47pm Andres: 70’s era Archie comics had Archie and Reggie hitting on the new just out of college teachers. Creepy kooky kids.
	12:48pm Hopey Sockmonkey: This U-Roy track was a great suggestion, chresti!
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: for chresti
	12:49pm chresti: Hi Hopey! Thanks UM!!!
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: not playing the answer song...
	12:52pm spodiodi: sit down, Waldo. cheers, Dean Halen
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: I don't feel tardy.
	12:53pm dan: Whenever the opening drums to "Hot for Teacher" plays, I think there's something wrong with the broadcast.
	12:53pm spodiodi: i'm nervous and my socks are too loose
	12:55pm Andres: Years ago, Ween played Hot For Teacher as an part of an encore. As over the top as one could hope for!
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: Dean Ween Halen?
	12:57pm dan: Another prediction come to fruition.
	12:57pm βrian: What, no trigger warning??
	12:58pm prudy: afternoon all...one of my favorite EJ songs...THANK YOU UM
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: are you afraid of teachers, Brian? prudy!
	12:58pm StringOFperils: I've never even heard this song before....I took an off-ramp after Yellow Brick Road
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: This is from before YBR!
	12:59pm Gerry from Miami: Yo, Uncle Michael!! For a lot of kids, school is definitely out for summer, either this week or next. Hope they can find some way to spend their time constructively. COVID has already disrupted America's school system enough. BTW, re-envisioning the MTV video for Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" in my head. Pretty hot stuff!
	1:00pm prudy: this is before Yellow brick road....
	1:00pm StringOFperils: It is? I can't remember. Really. so long ago. Honestly can't remember that. At any rate. Never heard this this LP
	🛒 1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Been on my mind : ...'books of Leviticus, Deuteronomy - the Laws of the Jungle & the Sea been your only teachers'... - HizBobness
	1:02pm βrian: I recall one English teacher who scared the hell out of me.
	1:02pm spodiodi: \m/
	1:03pm goyim in the am: Pretty sure Alex VH used Simmons drums on that track. (No fooling.)
	🛒 1:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Think VH the band honestly turned out a waste of the potential of Eddie the Musician. But - yeah those drums there ! How's he even...
	1:07pm prudy: UM...YOU MADE MY DAY...thank you..
	1:07pm dan: How can I forget the obvious
	1:08pm StringOFperils: Very familiar with THIS lp, if it's any consolation.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Strangely...I am indeed consoled, SOp.
	1:09pm Andres: Am now reminded of Teachers (1984). A grim outing to the cineplex it was but some classic Nick Nolte. Maybe some Teacher, Teacher coming up.
	1:09pm prudy: "and you're full of doubt"...yeah the doubt never left...
	1:09pm StringOFperils: I am here to assuage your pain.
	1:10pm dan: Killer piano solo
	1:10pm efd: so did Rick Davies (no relation) just say at one point, "gee, I really liked that harmonica intro I did for 'School,' I'm just going to basically do it again for 'Take The Long Way Home'"?
	1:10pm wenzo toad (it/it’s): Hey UM!
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Yep!
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: wenzo!
	1:13pm Dean: Wouldn't you know it, I had a meeting with a colleague during the VH track. Will revisit the set on the archives.
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: whoops
	1:13pm KWilde: Good afternoon!
	1:14pm chresti: I had a couple nasty teachers, one of which would say : "what in the SAM HILL?" (3rd grade) I got in trouble for using that term at home.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: KWilde!
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: I would like to own some part time real estate.
	🛒 1:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Watching clips of Ringo getting his AllStar thing together now - & yerknow - BEATLE ...& then it's all Supertrampers &... I'm full of negatives today some stupid reason. Try to put energy into what I like instead... Keep it zipped RevRab !...
	1:16pm StringOFperils: That's Doctor Ringo ta youse! > www.boston.com...
	🛒 1:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I basically think of how much I hated School & the people there - & don't really relate to the schedule of it or anything anymore ...some point one maybe really does stop having nightmares of being nekkid & not remembering yer locker combo suppose...
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: What an odd way to cover an odd song to cover.
	1:18pm Zipperhead7: I always got warm fuzzies when a student, upon leaving the final exam, would turn to glare at me and throw their notebook into the garbage can
	1:18pm spodiodi: i like it!
	🛒 1:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like Buttholes kinda.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Zipperhead!
	1:19pm TDK60: Mostl, I recall a few teachers who were inspirations. Usually because they were not afraid to talk about the world and be dissenters.
	1:20pm Alex In Illinois: I thought for a minute, the Residents
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Alex!
	🛒 1:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh yeah Alex.
	1:20pm TDK60: ...a missing 'y' there in "Mostl" Sorry, teach UM.
	🛒 1:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems all the CultureWar stuff is vortexing around the poor Teachers now.
	1:25pm StringOFperils: Some teachers inspired by their own example, and others were deeply terrifying. From the saintly to the violent (yes Principal E.O. Lake, I mean you.)
	1:27pm Zipperhead7: It's awful now. Where I grew up, a couple of parents went on a tear recently about their children being taught by "hippie witches." Public education,like public housing and public transportation, increasingly is viewed as a means of last resort. Teachers are truly underappreciated. I used to assign students to write about a media artifact that really altered their worldview, and if they cited a teacher or class I told them they needed to send that teacher a note about it
	🛒 1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Older guy from Pennsylvania told me of his Catholic School in the day - they broke some girl's legs. Pure evil far as he's concerned.
	🛒 1:28pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Nice theme.
	1:29pm TDK60: I recall as very young elementary student, on recess outside, I saw a beautiful praying mantis on a sidewalk. Our principal was walking by. I joyfully said, "Mr O'Rourke, look! A praying mantis." He came over and crushed it with his shoe.
	1:29pm chresti: Hippie witches make the BEST teachers.
	1:30pm dan: Piss Aaron, Dumb Larry and Chuck Biscuits need to have their own sitcom.
	1:30pm StringOFperils: Hippie Witch High. I'd go there.
	1:30pm Zipperhead7: When I meet someone who went to Catholic school in the early Sixties, we end up trading stories like war veterans
	1:30pm TDK60: Hola Chresti! That's what I need around here. Send some hippie witches, quick!
	1:31pm efd: If I didn't know better I'd think this was the Nutley Brass!
	1:31pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi Hi Hi!
	1:31pm chresti: Hola TDK60!\\//
	🛒 1:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well let's face it - in our Society the prime function of early School is getting the offspring out of the house for the parents & being babysitters / raising them in their stead. Once it's the Grades where Education will really have an impact on the Students' futures ...as in which Wealth Classes they will be in ...suddenly it's no longer Free...
	1:32pm Dean: Buddy of mine in Geometry took donations from class, promising to eat chalk if he could collect at least $20, which he did. And so he did. Teacher was just fine with the exercise.
	🛒 1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TDK60 - Teaching by Negative Example...
	1:34pm chresti: Chalk is a good source of calcium
	1:34pm efd: me neither, UM.
	1:34pm Dean: I avoided my high school graduation. Preferred to work.
	1:34pm dan: Never had school spirit myself. I couldn't wait to be home at the end of the day.
	1:34pm efd: also no proms
	🛒 1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...did anyone tell the Guidance Counselor they wanted to be a Guidance Counselor...
	1:34pm spodiodi: i was part of A.S.S. (the Anti School Spirit committee)
	🛒 1:35pm Flimflamfilmnoir: Thanks for the Rockpile's Teacher Teacher earlier today. Will get me in the mood to see Nick Lowe later this summer. A great one shot album...
	1:35pm Dean: I planned my prom. Helped pick the band and the venue (the Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire). Did I attend? Of course not.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Paul!
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Fffn!
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Perfect, Dean.
	1:36pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi Uncle Michael!
	1:37pm Zipperhead7: We had whiteboards and sometimes there was a rag and aerosol cleaner spray. Once, just for the hell of it, I huffed some and got off like a rocket
	1:37pm burke: @Dean Cocoanut Grove? Or like a smaller ballroom somewhere
	1:37pm TDK60: Our first day of H.S. the school held a mandatory pep rally in the football field. I met a new friend there with a sign: "Pep Rallies Shouldn't Be Mandatory" !
	🛒 1:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Zipperhead7 - to be utterly candid, Art Class had more abundant & effective compounds...
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: burke!
	1:41pm Roberto: Luv Foxygen!
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Roberto!
	🛒 1:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HghSchool - MC5 ??
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: Golden throat...Dobiemanie. Zelda swoons.
	1:44pm Dean: @burke, Yep, that Ambassador. It was razed long ago, but then my prom was much longer ago.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: dobiemania*
	1:45pm Dean: @burke, Now I get the gist of your query. No, the prom itself was not in the Cocoanut Grove.
	1:45pm PaulRobeson1922: Football is a militaristic sport
	1:47pm chresti: Good one, RevRab!
	1:48pm PaulRobeson1922: All the players take direction from either the head Coach, offensive or defensive coach and there is no room for independent thought or free will. You will do what the others do and exactly as the play is drawn up or the play will not work. & I played football! All the special teams but i was not very big so I was happy to play at all
	1:49pm efd: Happy to hear The Sylvers!
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: I believe you!
	1:49pm bradford: UM - fun show today! Love this Sylvers track...
	1:50pm StringOFperils: Teamwork's always an assault on something, not the least of which on the objectors. The tribe taboos are explicit.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: bradford! Thanks.
	1:50pm Dean: After I graduated The Gears played my high school. Around the same time The Dogs played another high school in town.
	1:51pm PaulRobeson1922: Soccer and Rugby there are no real set plays… you read the field and work with your teammates to set up the support runners and move the ball towards the gap/space - much more freedom here The coach in Rugby or soccer guides and teachers the game and it’s in your hands once the game starts
	🛒 1:51pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, reading your perverse involvement with your senior prom reminds me of my own illogical behavior back then. My friend Mary who was an 'It Girl' and had many guys clamoring for her attention was hinting heavily that she wanted me to take her. I shut her down cruelly so it was not mentioned again. This was in keeping with my general behavior as a psychopath. To this day It still causes me pain and embarrassment to think about what a complete shit I was to her.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: Franco! Forgive yourself.
	🛒 1:56pm Phillippe: Franco, being a complete shit was my M.O. in HS in general, a behavior pattern that continued well into my 40s. I wasn't selective to any one girl. (In the subsequent years I've evolved to only being an 80% shit, so, progress.)
	1:56pm Dean: I spent time with a young lady in my high school who went on to become homecoming queen. She even joined a band I was in. I like to flatter myself that she and I might have attended homecoming together, but frankly I wanted nothing to do with the event, that is, other than to plan it. I had more fun with her driving to San Diego for a day, getting up super early in the morning to visit downtown LA's flower market with her and other friends, hanging out at parties, that sorta thing.
	1:58pm dan: Summer School - Every child's worst fear.
	1:59pm βrian: Summer Skewel is worse yet.
	2:00pm spodiodi: congrats, UM!
	2:00pm Dean: I had a blast in summer school. Theater! Learned to type the summer before high school, too.
	2:01pm dan: @Dean Sounds more like camp.
	2:01pm TDK60: Dean you planned both the prom /and/ the homecoming and didn't go? You were a born administrator or what?
	2:01pm βrian: Amazing how handy being able to type has become.
	🛒 2:01pm Franco Twinkie: Interesting Phillippe. Why did we behave like that? I'm a mystery to myself concerning my nutty behavior back then.
	2:01pm PaulRobeson1922: Teaches the game* Playing Football should be discouraged… the NFL admits that at least 1/3 of current NFL players will* develop CTE…. The rate of injury for pro football is 3 injuries per hour and pro Rugby is 1 injury per hour! Rugby is a much safer and enjoyable game!!! and after the match is over both teams get together to drink and sing songs!!! There are alot of GoOD things to be said for practicing sportsmanship…. Good sportsmanship is a benefit to our society outside the game
	2:03pm Dean: @TCK60, I helped plan the prom, but I hung out with a future homecoming queen. One of my friends is a born administrator. He was junior class president when I was a senior, and I agreed to help him with the prom. Was fun.
	🛒 2:04pm Franco Twinkie: I went out with a cheerleader in high school too.
	2:05pm Roberto: Franco da playah!
	2:05pm Listener Robert: I've played plenty of rugby and coached kids a lot in American football (and played it informally, no pads), and although rugby is enjoyable, it's not for every kid; there are some types who'd be better and have more fun at American football. Even if a high proportion of NFL players develop brain damage, they're not representative of football players generally. The younger the players, the safer the game gets. (Probably true of rugby as well.)
	2:05pm PaulRobeson1922: So true. Stay in school!! That reminds me of a poster from 68’ hold on let me find it
	2:06pm Andres: The School of the Americas. A distinguished institution.
	2:06pm PaulRobeson1922: @Robert: Football taught me to follow orders. Soccer and Rugby taught me to think on my Feet
	2:09pm PaulRobeson1922: Here is that poster about DROPPING OUT wfmu.org...
	2:09pm Listener Robert: Yes, the respective games do have those characteristics. American and Canadian football are very much coaches' games to a degree no other games are. But there are kids who very much take to that sort of thing. You practice much more time than you play, which is very rare in sports generally excepting ones like parachuting, sea diving, etc. where a lot of safety procedures need to be practiced.
	2:10pm TDK60: I can't stand American football. Everything about it makes me nauseous.
	2:11pm Roberto: I didn't know Rhett & Link were recording artists too. Durn if this ain't the story of my life.
	2:12pm dan: @TDK60 Never cared for football myself. So boring and monotonous. For that matter, I'm not into sports period.
	2:12pm PaulRobeson1922: @Listner Robert: There are good things to be said for playing team sports, I agree. The thing is, with American Football there is no way to make the game safe for kids or adults. The pads and helmet increase the forces generated during contact and will harm your brain - no if ands or buts. The the football mentality is to grit yer teeth and keep playing even with a head injury
	2:13pm Listener Robert: Dan, not even noncompetitive sports like biking, hiking, fishing, swimming, etc.?
	2:14pm PaulRobeson1922: Please forgive the typos! DROP OUT wfmu.org...
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Robert!
	2:14pm dan: @Robert Swimming is about it.
	2:15pm Listener Robert: But there's no evidence of increased brain damage among those who've played football into their teens. The Mayo Clinic study showed otherwise. In terms of total injuries per participant-hour, football's safer than, for instance, biking.
	2:17pm Listener Robert: Plus, keep in mind that at bottom, these are all kids' games. Children will play them on their own whether adults organize it or not. Kids invented ball games, as far as we can tell.
	2:17pm TDK60: The Beatles' "She Loves You" 45RPM was on Swan Records in the US. Black label with silver-color type. It had a statement that said "Don't drop out." I thought it meant not to drop the 7" out of the paper sleeve.
	2:20pm PaulRobeson1922: I liked playing football! It was alota fun!! even Junior year goin 1-7 Made the playoffs senior year… The wins in football felt intensely pleasurable, that I remember. Hard to describe it felt Better winning in football than other sports….i remember having my fingers mashed between two helmets I vividly Remember that… but after playing Rugby competitively I would never encourage anyone to play a game as militaristic as Football when they could play Rugby
	2:25pm PaulRobeson1922: Rugby is for kids and Adults!! Peak for a Rugby career is mid 30’s And the average lenatgh of time you can play is much longer than football… average pro career in football is less than 3 years… Rugby has 35-45 leagues 45-55 And 55 and over leagues- American football has no equivalent. The mentality is diffrent too. Rugby is a family game bring the kids and old folks and friends!!! Sing songs!! Have a good time!! American Football wants to sell you something
	🛒 2:27pm Franco Twinkie: I played Junior All American football, also know as Pop Warner. I was terrible, but I liked hanging out with the guys. Same with Little League Baseball and the school wrestling team. I got it all out of my system by the time I was thirteen and then focused all my attention on rock music and underground comix - which I still love. I haven't watched a sporting event in years.
	2:27pm dan: Are you going to play anything from The Kinks' "Schoolboys in Disgrace"?
	2:30pm βrian: I'm not on the internet. I'm through the internet.
	2:31pm chresti: I'm a drop out.
	2:32pm johnk77: thank u selecter from a cal dropout
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: john!
	2:35pm chresti: 3 schools I dropped out of. The first one I was expelled like 2 weeks before the last day
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: I was invited not to return for 6th grade at my grade school.
	2:38pm TDK60: I'm surprised I got out of H.S. I'm a math sub-moron.
	2:39pm Listener Robert: No, Mr. Robeson, no form of football "wants" to sell you anything. These are just things people do, they have no will or agency. Reading doesn't want to sell you anything, playing cards doesn't want to sell you anything, making or eating dinner doesn't want to sell you anything, making a right turn on a red light doesn't want to sell you anything.
	2:41pm dan: My Old School has got to be the coolest song ever, musically and lyrically.
	2:41pm βrian: I'm a Cinelli dropout.
	🛒 2:41pm Alvy Singer: I believe Skunk Baxter sang lead on My Old School.
	🛒 2:42pm Franco Twinkie: TDK, I was told I would not graduate high school unless I passed a remedial math class. Prior to that, I would wad up my math tests and throw them on the floor while starring down the teacher. Needless to say, he failed me.
	🛒 2:42pm Phillippe: @Franco @2:01 I have a pretty good idea why I acted that way. I was a nerdy little kid in a working class neighborhood who got picked on a lot most of my school life. I always had my nose in a book, and my extremities were disproportional (I wore size 13s while I was still under 5 ft tall) so I was a klutz athletically. I got my growth spurt starting the end of my Junior year and went from 5'2" 100 lbs at the beginning of my Junior year to 6'5 180 before my Freshman year of college. When I grew into my hands and feet, I got a lot more coordinated, started excelling in sports, and was tall enough no one would fuck with me. The shoe was finally on the other foot, and I turned into the cocky jerk that I can still be from time to time.
	2:42pm bradford: i didn't drop out, i fell in
	2:43pm Listener Robert: And as fun as rugby is, that's independent of any of the social aspects you brought up. People shake hands and party after playing softball too, or after completing a construction project. It's nice that these traditions have gotten and kept going, but they're not so tied to the specifics as to "sell" what goes before.
	2:43pm doctorjazz: The Dan!!!
	2:44pm adamdoesit: βrian, my cycling team is the Brazen Dropouts.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: No thru-axles?
	🛒 2:44pm Phillippe: Skunk Baxter on guitar?
	🛒 2:44pm Franco Twinkie: That is totally understandable Phillippe. I was just a bad seed.
	🛒 2:45pm Franco Twinkie: Denny Diaz I think.
	2:45pm adamdoesit: UM, I haven't graduated to thru-axles, and maybe never will.
	2:47pm bradford: what's up with mungo jerry?
	2:47pm johnk77: the thing i like most about becker & fagen is that 20 years after that song they hired corny bumpus for their road band
	🛒 2:47pm Phillippe: On the bike front, a while ago I picked up an older GT Palomar (rigid fork) for my bride to ride around the neighborhood. It weighs a ton, but we're pretty flat so it should be fine for her. Paid around $10 at a church thrift shop. Every unpainted steel component had a nice coating of rust, the cobwebs were real and still functioning; overall, it looked like it hadn't been ridden since there was peace in the Middle East. Anyway, a few minutes ago, I finally put it on the stand, threw some lube on it, and tested it -- the front derailleur needs like one turn to be perfect, all rear gears work perfectly, brakes are perfect, one wheel was a little out of true that only needed three minor tweaks to get it back in line. One of the tubes is still holding air, though I'm replacing it anyway. I can't load and unload my Scott from the truck bed without needing more...
	2:49pm adamdoesit: Mr. and Mrs. Palomar!
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: excellent, Phillippe. I'm washing my bike after the show. Nice little ride yesterday.
	2:49pm johnk77: saw mungo jerry 1971 fillmore west they were entertaining
	2:50pm Andres: ¡¡Shonen Knife!!
	2:50pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the great chansawing music, UM. Well, most of it was chainsaw-starting music, but whatever. Something about high school makes me want to cut things up.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: were you a class clown? you cut-up
	2:51pm doctorjazz: Have to get outside and bike (still on stationary bike-take so long to do a good ride, and I've gotten lazy ..)
	2:52pm dan: We end the show a la the film "If"
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: do we?
	🛒 2:53pm Phillippe: @doc I hear ya. I'm ashamed to say I did not get out at all last year.
	2:55pm PaulRobeson1922: 4 guys I played football with OD’d before 30
	🛒 2:56pm Phillippe: Great show today, UM!
	2:56pm PaulRobeson1922: We can Agree on the Love of good sportsmanship and a fair competition @Robert! But in my experience Football was all about following orders and rugby is much more free flowing and creative
	2:56pm Andres: Thanks, Uncle Michael! The three hours has really flown by. See you all at the reunion. H.A.G.S.!
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone! See you next week.
	2:57pm dan: Great show UM
	2:57pm StringOFperils: I think these guys are gonna get 'held back'. There's always the navy.
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks UM, great show!
	2:58pm egould: Thanks UM. Great finish!
	2:58pm TDK60: Thanks DJ UM.
	2:58pm spodiodi: thanks, UM! fun show!
	2:58pm StringOFperils: Thanks, UM.
	2:58pm Dean: Way before '82 we formed a "club" in high school, The Reckuf Nmad Club. We hung a sign in the quad one morning just as the VP was strolling by. "Gentlemen," he said, "You're going to have to take that down."
	2:58pm Gerry from Miami: Uncle Michael, Sheila Kuehl(Zelda Gilroy on the "Dobie Gillis" show)is about to retire after a long political career in LA. She is now 81. Graduated UCLA at 19, then Har and Law.
	2:58pm bradford: that about sums it up
	🛒 2:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ UM ~
	🛒 2:59pm Franco Twinkie: Remember to flush a cherry bomb down the toilet in the boys rest room on your way out. Thanks Michael.
	2:59pm PaulRobeson1922: Yea burn down the school!!! Figuratively Thanks UM!! Nice show
	2:59pm Gerry from Miami: Sorry, Mike. I misspelled Harvard Law
	2:59pm Alex In Illinois: P. J. Soles
	3:00pm chresti: Thanks UM!
	3:00pm Alex In Illinois: I think that was her name. She then appeared in Stripes with Bill Murrey

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 3, 2022

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Listener comments!
	11:54am WLSClark: "It was the third of June, another sleepy sunny summer day. I was out of school and my bothers and I were ready to play!"
	11:55am WLSClark: Oops, "brothers"
	12:00pm listener james from westwood: Good Friday, UM and all!
	12:00pm dan: Good afternoon all.
	12:00pm doctorjazz: Hi, UM, Hinks and Dinks!
	12:00pm βrian: Hola, fellow prairie turnips.
	12:00pm Paul from Owen Sound: Hi, Uncle Michael! Happy Friday, everyone!
	12:01pm spodiodi: greetings, UM and HDT Shopper-listeners!
	12:01pm adamdoesit: Hey UM and outta-heres! I'm breaking out the buzzsaw like Paper Boi in the courtyard. Buzzsaw guitar for everyone!
	12:02pm Irene Trudel: Hey UM! Glad to be the lead-in for today.
	12:02pm doctorjazz: No Twitch Video today!
	12:03pm WLSClark: Looked like 1/3 of Kansas was in flood warnings 2 days ago! Hardly summer like?
	12:03pm egould: I wore shorts outside yesterday. It’s officially Summer.
	12:03pm βrian: Shorts and iced coffee. Yep.
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: Clark! james! dan! Doc! Brian! Paul! spodi! adam! Irene! egould!
	12:04pm dan: I assume that Alice Cooper's "School's Out" or a version of it will be played on today's show.
	12:04pm WLSClark: We almost headed off on vacation the first day after school was out in 60's. Loved it!
	12:04pm βrian: Ali Scooper.
	12:04pm Asheville Jon: hello one and all
	🛒 12:05pm Brian in UK: Uncle.
	12:05pm βrian: UM, if you were wearing a cardigan, you'd have your own entourage, so to speak.
	12:05pm doctorjazz: Planted some herbs, tomatoes, peppers in a raised planter box in the yard 2 days ago. I have no idea what to do with it...(my daughter set it up when she was sheltering here from the initial NY Pandemic, figure I should do SOMETHING with it). Rained yesterday, that's good, I think everything is still alive in there...
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Jon! BiUK. (twitch is up)
	12:07pm dan: Everyone in NYC has their last day of school at the end of June. Meanwhile, in the rest of the country, it's already summer vacation. The only solace is that while everyone else goes back to school in August when it's still 90-100 degrees outside, NYC enjoys summer vacation and then goes back as the weather cools down.
	12:07pm egould: Hi Uncle Michael! Play real good songs today.
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: I refuse.
	12:08pm WLSClark: These guys shoulda sang commercials and radio jingles!
	12:08pm βrian: Now that it's June, we're probably going to have to mow the lawn.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: I refuse.
	12:08pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Good day, UM and Dinks!
	12:08pm WLSClark: Brian, where do YOU live? I have mowed a dozen times or more already in Lincoln!
	🛒 12:08pm Alvy Singer: Hi Uncle Michael. The play whatever the hell you want then. :)
	12:09pm βrian: "My Home Town, " for example?
	12:09pm dan: I saw The Four Freshmen open for Rich Little at Queensborough Community College years ago. By then, the members of the original lineup had either retired or died.
	12:09pm doctorjazz: I understand there are some towns that are mandating NOT mowing lawns, letting them grow naturally-to help increase the bee population.
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Hopey! Alvy!
	12:10pm βrian: @WLSClark: We're in Madison, WI. Most neighbors conspired to not mow during the month of May.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Currently, I am legally "The Four Freshmen".
	12:10pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Lena Zavaroni! I remember seeing her on daytime talks shows back in the day.
	12:11pm Asheville Jon: conspired? i thought there was a general "movement" to not mow in may to allow for pollinators to have stuff to pollinate? pretty sure i read that somewhere.
	12:11pm dan: Lena Zavaroni was the subject of a joke in "Are You Being Served". I had to look her up to understand the meaning. It made sense.
	12:12pm Andres: Hi, Uncle Michael! A 1/10th version of this show, please, at the end of the month when Canadian kids are out.
	12:12pm βrian: @Asheville Jon: Exaaaaaactly.
	12:12pm chresti: Hi hinky dinky Uncle Michael time show!
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Andres! chresti!
	🛒 12:13pm Phillippe: Howdy! It's Fri-yay!
	12:13pm βrian: A few years back, our neighbor let the grass get to over two feet. It looked so damn good, like a pastoral dreamland.
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Phillippe!
	12:14pm WLSClark: I cant take it NO MOW! ;)
	12:15pm Asheville Jon: well Brian, even if i am wrong, i could have easily used that as an 'out' if my neighbors complained about me not cutting my yard (which they don't, because they cut theirs even fewer times than i do!)
	12:15pm StringOFperils: Creepy B-side to School's Out. Don't think this'd get issued as such today.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: SOp!
	12:16pm StringOFperils: Probably just stunk up the room. Sorry, UM. Hi, how are you today?
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: I'm about a good as I get. Thanks for asking.
	12:17pm βrian: Our front yard is almost sod-free now. Slowly but surely. Garlic has taken pride of place, for the moment.
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: The Gilroy of the Isthmus?
	12:18pm dan: Alice Cooper with a Scots accent.
	12:19pm StringOFperils: A wee hiatus for the bairns. Aye.
	12:19pm βrian: We have a good friend who grew up in NM (I think. Maybe TX) He calls it "skewel."

	12:27pm Andres: My kids K to 8 school’s VP was a drummer. Every year he was there he blasted School’s Out on the outdoor speakers right after the final bell on the last day. Tradition ended when he left.
	12:27pm Listening Out There: Huh. By coincidence, he got it during the Schools Out tour...

	12:53pm Uncle Michael: I don't feel tardy.

	12:53pm spodiodi: i'm nervous and my socks are too loose
	12:55pm Andres: Years ago, Ween played Hot For Teacher as an part of an encore. As over the top as one could hope for!

	12:59pm Gerry from Miami: Yo, Uncle Michael!! For a lot of kids, school is definitely out for summer, either this week or next. Hope they can find some way to spend their time constructively. COVID has already disrupted America's school system enough. BTW, re-envisioning the MTV video for Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" in my head. Pretty hot stuff!
	1:00pm prudy: this is before Yellow brick road....

	1:03pm goyim in the am: Pretty sure Alex VH used Simmons drums on that track. (No fooling.)
	🛒 1:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Think VH the band honestly turned out a waste of the potential of Eddie the Musician. But - yeah those drums there ! How's he even...
	1:07pm prudy: UM...YOU MADE MY DAY...thank you..
	1:07pm dan: How can I forget the obvious
	1:08pm StringOFperils: Very familiar with THIS lp, if it's any consolation.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Strangely...I am indeed consoled, SOp.
	1:09pm Andres: Am now reminded of Teachers (1984). A grim outing to the cineplex it was but some classic Nick Nolte. Maybe some Teacher, Teacher coming up.

	1:17pm Uncle Michael: What an odd way to cover an odd song to cover.
	1:18pm Zipperhead7: I always got warm fuzzies when a student, upon leaving the final exam, would turn to glare at me and throw their notebook into the garbage can
	1:18pm spodiodi: i like it!
	🛒 1:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like Buttholes kinda.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Zipperhead!
	1:19pm TDK60: Mostl, I recall a few teachers who were inspirations. Usually because they were not afraid to talk about the world and be dissenters.
	1:20pm Alex In Illinois: I thought for a minute, the Residents
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Alex!
	🛒 1:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh yeah Alex.
	1:20pm TDK60: ...a missing 'y' there in "Mostl" Sorry, teach UM.
	🛒 1:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems all the CultureWar stuff is vortexing around the poor Teachers now.
	1:25pm StringOFperils: Some teachers inspired by their own example, and others were deeply terrifying. From the saintly to the violent (yes Principal E.O. Lake, I mean you.)
	1:27pm Zipperhead7: It's awful now. Where I grew up, a couple of parents went on a tear recently about their children being taught by "hippie witches." Public education,like public housing and public transportation, increasingly is viewed as a means of last resort. Teachers are truly underappreciated. I used to assign students to write about a media artifact that really altered their worldview, and if they cited a teacher or class I told them they needed to send that teacher a note about it
	🛒 1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Older guy from Pennsylvania told me of his Catholic School in the day - they broke some girl's legs. Pure evil far as he's concerned.
	🛒 1:28pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Nice theme.
	1:29pm TDK60: I recall as very young elementary student, on recess outside, I saw a beautiful praying mantis on a sidewalk. Our principal was walking by. I joyfully said, "Mr O'Rourke, look! A praying mantis." He came over and crushed it with his shoe.
	1:29pm chresti: Hippie witches make the BEST teachers.
	1:30pm dan: Piss Aaron, Dumb Larry and Chuck Biscuits need to have their own sitcom.
	1:30pm StringOFperils: Hippie Witch High. I'd go there.
	1:30pm Zipperhead7: When I meet someone who went to Catholic school in the early Sixties, we end up trading stories like war veterans
	1:30pm TDK60: Hola Chresti! That's what I need around here. Send some hippie witches, quick!
	1:31pm efd: If I didn't know better I'd think this was the Nutley Brass!
	1:31pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi Hi Hi!
	1:31pm chresti: Hola TDK60!\\//
	🛒 1:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well let's face it - in our Society the prime function of early School is getting the offspring out of the house for the parents & being babysitters / raising them in their stead. Once it's the Grades where Education will really have an impact on the Students' futures ...as in which Wealth Classes they will be in ...suddenly it's no longer Free...
	1:32pm Dean: Buddy of mine in Geometry took donations from class, promising to eat chalk if he could collect at least $20, which he did. And so he did. Teacher was just fine with the exercise.
	🛒 1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TDK60 - Teaching by Negative Example...

	1:34pm efd: me neither, UM.

	1:35pm Dean: I planned my prom. Helped pick the band and the venue (the Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire). Did I attend? Of course not.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Paul!
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Fffn!
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Perfect, Dean.
	1:36pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi Uncle Michael!
	1:37pm Zipperhead7: We had whiteboards and sometimes there was a rag and aerosol cleaner spray. Once, just for the hell of it, I huffed some and got off like a rocket
	1:37pm burke: @Dean Cocoanut Grove? Or like a smaller ballroom somewhere
	1:37pm TDK60: Our first day of H.S. the school held a mandatory pep rally in the football field. I met a new friend there with a sign: "Pep Rallies Shouldn't Be Mandatory" !
	🛒 1:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Zipperhead7 - to be utterly candid, Art Class had more abundant & effective compounds...

	1:44pm Uncle Michael: Golden throat...Dobiemanie. Zelda swoons.
	1:44pm Dean: @burke, Yep, that Ambassador. It was razed long ago, but then my prom was much longer ago.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: dobiemania*
	1:45pm Dean: @burke, Now I get the gist of your query. No, the prom itself was not in the Cocoanut Grove.
	1:45pm PaulRobeson1922: Football is a militaristic sport
	1:47pm chresti: Good one, RevRab!
	1:48pm PaulRobeson1922: All the players take direction from either the head Coach, offensive or defensive coach and there is no room for independent thought or free will. You will do what the others do and exactly as the play is drawn up or the play will not work. & I played football! All the special teams but i was not very big so I was happy to play at all
	1:49pm efd: Happy to hear The Sylvers!
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: I believe you!
	1:49pm bradford: UM - fun show today! Love this Sylvers track...
	1:50pm StringOFperils: Teamwork's always an assault on something, not the least of which on the objectors. The tribe taboos are explicit.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: bradford! Thanks.
	1:50pm Dean: After I graduated The Gears played my high school. Around the same time The Dogs played another high school in town.
	1:51pm PaulRobeson1922: Soccer and Rugby there are no real set plays… you read the field and work with your teammates to set up the support runners and move the ball towards the gap/space - much more freedom here The coach in Rugby or soccer guides and teachers the game and it’s in your hands once the game starts
	🛒 1:51pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, reading your perverse involvement with your senior prom reminds me of my own illogical behavior back then. My friend Mary who was an 'It Girl' and had many guys clamoring for her attention was hinting heavily that she wanted me to take her. I shut her down cruelly so it was not mentioned again. This was in keeping with my general behavior as a psychopath. To this day It still causes me pain and embarrassment to think about what a complete shit I was to her.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: Franco! Forgive yourself.
	🛒 1:56pm Phillippe: Franco, being a complete shit was my M.O. in HS in general, a behavior pattern that continued well into my 40s. I wasn't selective to any one girl. (In the subsequent years I've evolved to only being an 80% shit, so, progress.)
	1:56pm Dean: I spent time with a young lady in my high school who went on to become homecoming queen. She even joined a band I was in. I like to flatter myself that she and I might have attended homecoming together, but frankly I wanted nothing to do with the event, that is, other than to plan it. I had more fun with her driving to San Diego for a day, getting up super early in the morning to visit downtown LA's flower market with her and other friends, hanging out at parties, that sorta thing.
	1:58pm dan: Summer School - Every child's worst fear.
	1:59pm βrian: Summer Skewel is worse yet.
	2:00pm spodiodi: congrats, UM!
	2:00pm Dean: I had a blast in summer school. Theater! Learned to type the summer before high school, too.
	2:01pm dan: @Dean Sounds more like camp.
	2:01pm TDK60: Dean you planned both the prom /and/ the homecoming and didn't go? You were a born administrator or what?
	2:01pm βrian: Amazing how handy being able to type has become.
	🛒 2:01pm Franco Twinkie: Interesting Phillippe. Why did we behave like that? I'm a mystery to myself concerning my nutty behavior back then.
	2:01pm PaulRobeson1922: Teaches the game* Playing Football should be discouraged… the NFL admits that at least 1/3 of current NFL players will* develop CTE…. The rate of injury for pro football is 3 injuries per hour and pro Rugby is 1 injury per hour! Rugby is a much safer and enjoyable game!!! and after the match is over both teams get together to drink and sing songs!!! There are alot of GoOD things to be said for practicing sportsmanship…. Good sportsmanship is a benefit to our society outside the game
	2:03pm Dean: @TCK60, I helped plan the prom, but I hung out with a future homecoming queen. One of my friends is a born administrator. He was junior class president when I was a senior, and I agreed to help him with the prom. Was fun.
	🛒 2:04pm Franco Twinkie: I went out with a cheerleader in high school too.
	2:05pm Roberto: Franco da playah!
	2:05pm Listener Robert: I've played plenty of rugby and coached kids a lot in American football (and played it informally, no pads), and although rugby is enjoyable, it's not for every kid; there are some types who'd be better and have more fun at American football. Even if a high proportion of NFL players develop brain damage, they're not representative of football players generally. The younger the players, the safer the game gets. (Probably true of rugby as well.)
	2:05pm PaulRobeson1922: So true. Stay in school!! That reminds me of a poster from 68’ hold on let me find it
	2:06pm Andres: The School of the Americas. A distinguished institution.
	2:06pm PaulRobeson1922: @Robert: Football taught me to follow orders. Soccer and Rugby taught me to think on my Feet
	2:09pm PaulRobeson1922: Here is that poster about DROPPING OUT wfmu.org...
	2:09pm Listener Robert: Yes, the respective games do have those characteristics. American and Canadian football are very much coaches' games to a degree no other games are. But there are kids who very much take to that sort of thing. You practice much more time than you play, which is very rare in sports generally excepting ones like parachuting, sea diving, etc. where a lot of safety procedures need to be practiced.
	2:10pm TDK60: I can't stand American football. Everything about it makes me nauseous.
	2:11pm Roberto: I didn't know Rhett & Link were recording artists too. Durn if this ain't the story of my life.
	2:12pm dan: @TDK60 Never cared for football myself. So boring and monotonous. For that matter, I'm not into sports period.
	2:12pm PaulRobeson1922: @Listner Robert: There are good things to be said for playing team sports, I agree. The thing is, with American Football there is no way to make the game safe for kids or adults. The pads and helmet increase the forces generated during contact and will harm your brain - no if ands or buts. The the football mentality is to grit yer teeth and keep playing even with a head injury
	2:13pm Listener Robert: Dan, not even noncompetitive sports like biking, hiking, fishing, swimming, etc.?
	2:14pm PaulRobeson1922: Please forgive the typos! DROP OUT wfmu.org...
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Robert!
	2:14pm dan: @Robert Swimming is about it.
	2:15pm Listener Robert: But there's no evidence of increased brain damage among those who've played football into their teens. The Mayo Clinic study showed otherwise. In terms of total injuries per participant-hour, football's safer than, for instance, biking.
	2:17pm Listener Robert: Plus, keep in mind that at bottom, these are all kids' games. Children will play them on their own whether adults organize it or not. Kids invented ball games, as far as we can tell.
	2:17pm TDK60: The Beatles' "She Loves You" 45RPM was on Swan Records in the US. Black label with silver-color type. It had a statement that said "Don't drop out." I thought it meant not to drop the 7" out of the paper sleeve.
	2:20pm PaulRobeson1922: I liked playing football! It was alota fun!! even Junior year goin 1-7 Made the playoffs senior year… The wins in football felt intensely pleasurable, that I remember. Hard to describe it felt Better winning in football than other sports….i remember having my fingers mashed between two helmets I vividly Remember that… but after playing Rugby competitively I would never encourage anyone to play a game as militaristic as Football when they could play Rugby
	2:25pm PaulRobeson1922: Rugby is for kids and Adults!! Peak for a Rugby career is mid 30’s And the average lenatgh of time you can play is much longer than football… average pro career in football is less than 3 years… Rugby has 35-45 leagues 45-55 And 55 and over leagues- American football has no equivalent. The mentality is diffrent too. Rugby is a family game bring the kids and old folks and friends!!! Sing songs!! Have a good time!! American Football wants to sell you something
	🛒 2:27pm Franco Twinkie: I played Junior All American football, also know as Pop Warner. I was terrible, but I liked hanging out with the guys. Same with Little League Baseball and the school wrestling team. I got it all out of my system by the time I was thirteen and then focused all my attention on rock music and underground comix - which I still love. I haven't watched a sporting event in years.
	2:27pm dan: Are you going to play anything from The Kinks' "Schoolboys in Disgrace"?
	2:30pm βrian: I'm not on the internet. I'm through the internet.
	2:31pm chresti: I'm a drop out.
	2:32pm johnk77: thank u selecter from a cal dropout
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: john!
	2:35pm chresti: 3 schools I dropped out of. The first one I was expelled like 2 weeks before the last day
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: I was invited not to return for 6th grade at my grade school.
	2:38pm TDK60: I'm surprised I got out of H.S. I'm a math sub-moron.
	2:39pm Listener Robert: No, Mr. Robeson, no form of football "wants" to sell you anything. These are just things people do, they have no will or agency. Reading doesn't want to sell you anything, playing cards doesn't want to sell you anything, making or eating dinner doesn't want to sell you anything, making a right turn on a red light doesn't want to sell you anything.
	2:41pm dan: My Old School has got to be the coolest song ever, musically and lyrically.
	2:41pm βrian: I'm a Cinelli dropout.
	🛒 2:41pm Alvy Singer: I believe Skunk Baxter sang lead on My Old School.
	🛒 2:42pm Franco Twinkie: TDK, I was told I would not graduate high school unless I passed a remedial math class. Prior to that, I would wad up my math tests and throw them on the floor while starring down the teacher. Needless to say, he failed me.
	🛒 2:42pm Phillippe: @Franco @2:01 I have a pretty good idea why I acted that way. I was a nerdy little kid in a working class neighborhood who got picked on a lot most of my school life. I always had my nose in a book, and my extremities were disproportional (I wore size 13s while I was still under 5 ft tall) so I was a klutz athletically. I got my growth spurt starting the end of my Junior year and went from 5'2" 100 lbs at the beginning of my Junior year to 6'5 180 before my Freshman year of college. When I grew into my hands and feet, I got a lot more coordinated, started excelling in sports, and was tall enough no one would fuck with me. The shoe was finally on the other foot, and I turned into the cocky jerk that I can still be from time to time.
	2:42pm bradford: i didn't drop out, i fell in
	2:43pm Listener Robert: And as fun as rugby is, that's independent of any of the social aspects you brought up. People shake hands and party after playing softball too, or after completing a construction project. It's nice that these traditions have gotten and kept going, but they're not so tied to the specifics as to "sell" what goes before.
	2:43pm doctorjazz: The Dan!!!
	2:44pm adamdoesit: βrian, my cycling team is the Brazen Dropouts.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: No thru-axles?
	🛒 2:44pm Phillippe: Skunk Baxter on guitar?
	🛒 2:44pm Franco Twinkie: That is totally understandable Phillippe. I was just a bad seed.
	🛒 2:45pm Franco Twinkie: Denny Diaz I think.
	2:45pm adamdoesit: UM, I haven't graduated to thru-axles, and maybe never will.
	2:47pm bradford: what's up with mungo jerry?
	2:47pm johnk77: the thing i like most about becker & fagen is that 20 years after that song they hired corny bumpus for their road band
	🛒 2:47pm Phillippe: On the bike front, a while ago I picked up an older GT Palomar (rigid fork) for my bride to ride around the neighborhood. It weighs a ton, but we're pretty flat so it should be fine for her. Paid around $10 at a church thrift shop. Every unpainted steel component had a nice coating of rust, the cobwebs were real and still functioning; overall, it looked like it hadn't been ridden since there was peace in the Middle East. Anyway, a few minutes ago, I finally put it on the stand, threw some lube on it, and tested it -- the front derailleur needs like one turn to be perfect, all rear gears work perfectly, brakes are perfect, one wheel was a little out of true that only needed three minor tweaks to get it back in line. One of the tubes is still holding air, though I'm replacing it anyway. I can't load and unload my Scott from the truck bed without needing more...
	2:49pm adamdoesit: Mr. and Mrs. Palomar!
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: excellent, Phillippe. I'm washing my bike after the show. Nice little ride yesterday.
	2:49pm johnk77: saw mungo jerry 1971 fillmore west they were entertaining
	2:50pm Andres: ¡¡Shonen Knife!!
	2:50pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the great chansawing music, UM. Well, most of it was chainsaw-starting music, but whatever. Something about high school makes me want to cut things up.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: were you a class clown? you cut-up
	2:51pm doctorjazz: Have to get outside and bike (still on stationary bike-take so long to do a good ride, and I've gotten lazy ..)
	2:52pm dan: We end the show a la the film "If"
