	12:05pm Uncle Michael: Jon! SOp! spodi! Rev! dave!
	12:05pm dan: ↳ Song: "So You Want To Be (A Rock`N`Roll Star)" by "Patti... Judging by the name of the show and the opening song, the theme for today is about rock and rollers.
	12:06pm Artie: Jimmy Durante and Patti Smith could have done some nice duets.
	12:06pm StringOFperils: So you wanna be living a life of unreliable audio equipment? Go ahead rock 'n' roll star.

	12:08pm spodiodi: hi Andrew! aloha, chresti!\\//
	12:10pm dan: Have I got a great music documentary recommendation for all of you, on Netflix, there's a 5 part documentary about the French Elvis Presley, Johnny Hallyday. Excellent footage and editing, you really get to know the man in only a few hours.
	12:12pm Asheville Jon: what is a " pickled egg tavern weepers"??
	12:14pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "They Called It Rock" by "Nick Lowe" A favourite record. (someone in the newspaper said it was shit)
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Asheville Jon @12:12 They don't have those in Ashville?
	12:14pm doctorjazz: Great opening UM! Hey Hinks and Dinks! I got my swag; the Hinky Dinky shopping bag is very cool! Haven't gotten to use it yet, but will be taking it on my next shop!
	12:15pm Asheville Jon: UM, how would i know, if i don't even know what it is?
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Doc! Great!
	12:16pm dan: Some songs about rock and rollers from the top of my head: Bad Company: Shooting Star Kinks: Top Of The Pops Grand Funk Railroad: We're An American Band Who: Long Live Rock Little River Band: Home By Monday Elton John: Holiday Inn Buck Owens/Beatles: Act Naturally
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @12:16 Act Naturally? Not a fit. Some of those are good guesses.
	12:18pm hilaryprudy: greetings all...
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: hilaryprudy!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: be sure to hide the roaches
	12:20pm Mr. Oxford: and then there are also some songs about real life rock and rollers too: Jonathan Richman - "Velvet Underground" Motorhead - "R.A.M.O.N.E.S." The Replacements - "Alex Chilton"
	12:20pm Mr. Oxford: oh and Don McLean's "American Pie"
	12:22pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Free Man In Paris" by "Joni Mitchell" noice
	12:22pm hilaryprudy: reliving my teens...
	12:22pm doctorjazz: Killin' it, UM!
	12:25pm doctorjazz: Set up an appointment for COVID booster #500 later today.
	12:26pm Kat in the chat: I like this theme
	12:26pm dan: ↳ Song: "Success Story" by "The Who" How can I forget about this one. Can't think of this song without thinking of John Entwistle gunning down a few gold records.
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: I need booster #2.
	12:26pm doctorjazz: Velvet's Rock n Roll is one...
	12:27pm Jeff Golick: There's a Bill Wyman tune I wouldn't mind hearing today...
	12:27pm davefromtoronto: it's astounding how many great tunes pete townshend wrote...
	12:29pm dan: ↳ Song: "Success Story" by "The Who" This must be one of the few, if not the only song where Daltrey, Townshend and Entwislte each sing a verse of the same song.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Jeff Golick @12:27 I have the 12"...and it slipped my mind.
	12:33pm Webhamster Henry: TMBG: XTC vs Adam Ant
	12:33pm holland oats: ↳ Song: "HAC (stem)" by "Pink Floyd" oh no you didn't
	🛒 12:35pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @12:25 Hi Docjazz, is this your 3rd, 4th, or 5th covid vax?
	12:37pm hilaryprudy: oh love this openning...
	12:37pm davefromtoronto: 5 bucks he plays "pop star" by cat stevens.
	12:39pm Marie de Queens: ↳ Song: "Venus and Mars/Rock Show" by "Wings" I love this song (and album). Hey UM, hey all! I'm signed in (!) (@)).
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Henry! holland! WR! Marie!
	12:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @12:35 Already got 5 vaccines (last one this past September), so starting from the initial series, this will be #6 (I'm at particularly high risk at work, though, and going to Africa for 3 weeks in July, so it's worth it to me to get them every 4-6 months). (I'm also in the "high risk" category because of my age... ☹️ )
	12:42pm Pedro in Arlington: I like this Wings band. Good singer.
	12:44pm Jeff Golick: Turns out I really like rock songs about rock.
	12:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:42 I hear he was part of an earlier band that wasn't bad either...
	12:45pm dan: ↳ Song: "Travelin' Band" by "Creedence Clearwater Revival" When I saw John Fogerty in concert a few years ago, this was the opener. Blew the whole house down.
	🛒 12:45pm egould: Hidee-ho Uncle Michael! Greetings to all you listeners! Nick Lowe’s “And So It Goes” is a quintessential rock band song.
	12:46pm dan: ↳ Song: "Holiday Inn" by "Elton John" One of my guesses come to fruition
	12:46pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Travelin' Band" by "Creedence Clearwater Revival" Reminds me that the doc on CCR's UK tour is good viewing.
	12:46pm Mr. Oxford: The Modern Lovers' "Roadrunner" is another song (atleast partially) about love of rock n' roll.
	12:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ dan @12:45 I had tickets to see Fogerty (with Jackson Browne) on a Monday night years back. It also turned out to be the first day my office implemented new software. I wound up working so late, I missed the whole thing. Still haven't seen either (Browne is playing in the NY/NJ area in the near future, I hear).
	🛒 12:48pm egould: The Clash “Garageland”
	12:49pm dan: ↳ doctorjazz @12:47 The lesson is, never buy tickets for a weeknight performance.
	12:49pm Pedro in Arlington: Drive-by Truckers "Let There Be Rock"
	12:49pm Gerry from Miami: Love those Paul Buckmaster horn and string arrangements he so deftly placed on those early Elton John albums!
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: egould! Pedro! Gerry!
	12:51pm KWilde: Good afternoon! Late today
	12:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Tonight's The Night" by "Neil Young" Hitting the clicky stars (I'm not that quick to do it usually...)
	12:52pm StringOFperils: What a band! What hot tubes!
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: KWilde!
	12:53pm doctorjazz: Despite all the amputations You know you could just go out And dance to a rock 'n' roll station And it was all right
	12:57pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. Lucky you! For many years after the Fantasy Records debacle between CCR and Saul Zaentz, Fogerty refused to perform any Creedence material in concert. An anti-Viernam War organization finally talked hom into relenting. CCR was truly THE favorite band of our troops during the war. We loved them so!
	🛒 12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n'... Question to me is - if what AC/DC do is so primitive & simple ...how come no else makes trax that sound like this, exactly ??
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:57 A friend of mine was John's keyboard player for that show in D.C.
	1:00pm holland oats: oh yes he did
	1:00pm StringOFperils: I can see how blasting CCR over the roar of the troop-transport's rotors would get hard-wired into a person's brain
	🛒 1:00pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning everybody
	1:01pm dan: ↳ Song: "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n'... I heard somewhere that AC/DC have not performed this song in concert since Bon Scott died.
	🛒 1:03pm egould: Descendents “Descendents”
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	1:04pm dan: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk" 2nd guess to be played
	1:05pm StringOFperils: We lived to witness The Age of Cowbell
	1:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ StringOFperils @1:05 Not enough cowbell out there, me'thinks!
	1:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ StringOFperils @1:05 Indeed. When I heard the cowbell count-off for a few seconds I thought it was going to be Nazareth's Hair Of The Dog.
	1:06pm Gerry from Miami: Did it take being produced by Todd Rundgren to make them a household word? And dropping the word "Railroad" from their band name was a smart move as well.
	1:06pm Polyus: An old friend and I used to laugh at "now these fine ladies / they had a plan" - real sophisticated plan, as it turns out.
	🛒 1:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk" 'We'll help you powder your town' ...just 70s coke jollies or whut exactly.
	🛒 1:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I always liked Bonnie's voice and prefer this version to the Karen Carpenter one. Karen just wasn't believable as a groupie.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Polyus!
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:07 "We'll help you party it down"
	1:09pm dan: ↳ Song: "Groupie (Superstar)" by "Delaney & Bonnie And Fri... I hear Bekka in Bonnie's voice.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @1:09 You hear Bonnie in Bekka's voice.
	1:09pm Gerry from Miami: Bonnie Bramlett was a hot number. This rendition has way more "oomph" than Karen Carpenter's.
	🛒 1:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @1:08 Noted Karen didn't say 'sleep with'. Yet - I was thinking the opposite - Karen convinces emotionally, which is pretty good - to be contending with D & B here...
	1:10pm KWilde: Just got the Janovitz Leon Russell bio
	🛒 1:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:08 M'kay. :D
	🛒 1:10pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:10 I will admit to a bias against Karen C - just never liked her voice or her squeaky clean image.
	1:10pm Jeff Golick: !!!
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Jeff Golick @1:10 !!!
	🛒 1:11pm egould: ↳ Song: "What's Your Name" by "Lynyrd Skynyrd" But if you play it at a faster speed, it will be over more quicly!
	1:11pm Gerry from Miami: UM, let's slow this Skynyrd band down a tad! LOL!
	🛒 1:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @1:10 Well - we know now about her Image against her Reality of fatal illness. But can't blame anyone not comfortable with that whole phenomenon - how it was presented (or actually not)... Carpenters were Pop Music, for very certain.
	🛒 1:13pm egould: Stiff Little Fingers “Wait snd See”
	🛒 1:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:13 ...yet I contend Karen had a unique & amazing Voice.
	🛒 1:14pm egould: My typing is shit today. I should probably pour a drink. Calm my nerves.
	1:15pm doctorjazz: OK, beautiful day out there, going to get on my bike (will take the show along, seems like a good'un for getting up hills).
	🛒 1:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:13 ...all the more for all that actually...
	1:16pm asheville jon: Ah yes, the good old edgewater inn
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: I live when Frank speaks Yiddish.
	1:18pm Marshall Stacks: It's sweeping the ocean!
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Marshall!
	🛒 1:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Mud Shark" by "The Mothers" Flo & Eddie really make it.
	1:19pm hyde: hello!
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: hyde!
	1:19pm DOO: Here's lookin at you
	1:20pm dan: ↳ Song: "The Mud Shark" by "The Mothers" They need to immortalize the hotel room with a plaque.
	1:20pm Gerry from Miami: Flo and Eddie were one of the most brilliant additions that Mr. Zappa ever made to his band back in the 70s. This Fillmore East recording is proof positive.
	🛒 1:21pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:20 I agree. Love them.
	1:21pm patrick321: Hey Uncle Michael and all Just realized I posted my remark about Grand Funk (noting the porn actress in the first verse) on the home page comments board, where it was met with baffled silence.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: patrick! happens...
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: ↳ DOO @1:19 Lookin' back...
	1:22pm dan: ↳ Song: "Cover of the Rolling Stone" by "Dr. Hook & The Me... Sung in "Almost Famous"
	1:22pm hilaryprudy: ↳ patrick321 @1:21 done that many times
	1:23pm patrick321: ↳ hilaryprudy @1:22 Thx I feel a bit better now ;)
	1:23pm Webhamster Henry: Got any GTOs today?
	1:23pm DOO: how many WFMU t shirts do you have?
	🛒 1:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ patrick321 @1:21 ...the grander the fonk the better...
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: ↳ DOO @1:23 N-1
	1:25pm hyde: good ol' Lemmy
	1:25pm patrick321: ↳ DOO @1:23 20, not counting sweatshirts. I counted them yesterday as I was changing my closet over to summer weights
	1:26pm wendy del formaggio: Hi Uncle Michael. For the rarely-heard perspective of a female touring musician, singing to someone she’s gotta leave behind, I recommend “The Show is Over” by the great Evelyn “Champagne” King.
	🛒 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "(We Are) The Road Crew" by "Motörhead" (>L< ))))
	1:27pm Polyus: ↳ Song: "(We Are) The Road Crew" by "Motörhead" This guy could write some good lyrics when he wanted. Lost Johnny is another example.
	1:27pm DonJuanTijuana: Best show on WFMU right now by far!
	🛒 1:29pm egould: ↳ DOO @1:23 13 WFMU shirts, one sweatshirt.
	1:30pm DOO: you're wearing shorts. how hot in Lawrence today? Currently 54 here in SF.
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Uncle M & Dinklers
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: ↳ DOO @1:30 Dunno...the weather is irrelevant. I'm indoors.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Wendy!
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: DJT!
	1:34pm dan: ↳ Song: "Gonna Make You A Star" by "David Essex" Sounds like this song could've been done by Mott The Hoople
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	1:35pm spodiodi: greetings, coelacathØ!
	1:35pm coelacanth∅: aloha spodiodi!
	🛒 1:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Gonna Make You A Star" by "David Essex" ...thot for sure that was the SteelyDans...
	1:37pm coelacanth∅: can bad co. be far behind?
	1:37pm dan: ↳ Song: "Star" by "Stealers Wheel" Classic barrelhouse piano solo.
	1:39pm Gerry from Miami: David Essex was such a big deal in Britain and Europe, but was only known in the US for one hit single, "Rock On." Wha' happened?
	1:40pm dan: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:39 American record companies getting paid off to sign other acts. Payola never died, it just became more secretive.
	1:41pm Dean: Buddy of mine saw The Dictators in LA three nights ago.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	1:42pm wendy del formaggio: The Dictators! Such nice Jewish boys!
	1:44pm coelacanth∅: rock on's such a great song too, but yeah - 1-hit wonder over here.
	1:44pm hilaryprudy: recently discovered what "all mod cons" was referring to when watching a british sitcom from the 70s
	1:44pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:39 For me, the answer was 'Rock On'. It just seemed musically uninteresting, like an actor putting out a pop song, or something inexplicable. That was my response to seeing him on Midnight Special or Don Kirshner's Rock Concert on TV, (can't remember which). I remember relegating it to Gary Glitter Rock and Roll territory, which must have been contemporary. In short, I just didn't get it. Maybe it just made more sense in the UK teen pop scene than it did in North Am
	1:45pm dan: ↳ Song: "The Next Big Thing" by "The Dictators" Just looked up The Dictators, their current drummer is Mr. Cowbell Albert Bouchard from Blue Oyster Cult.
	1:45pm Gerry from Miami: ↳ dan @1:40 @Dean. Do you know if "Handsome" Dick Manitoba was with them?
	1:47pm hilaryprudy: ↳ StringOFperils @1:44 right...very tame..
	1:47pm Dean: HDM was not with them. Here are a couple short videos my pal took: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcOfhTLUv88&t https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qyPbKL6Bk4&t=319s
	1:47pm coelacanth∅: StringO - i HATED gary glitter's "rock & roll", and Loved "rock on"! (and those sentiments have never wavered over the years)
	1:48pm dan: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:47 Gary Glitter had such a pervy look about him even before all that stuff about him came to the surface.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Rock On just sounded so cool.
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: ...although i can see how rock on might be uninteresting. just, i think the point is the subtlety - kind of like "why can't we live together" by Timmy Thomas; or Grace Jones' versions of the police or whomever...
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ dan @1:48 haha, that he did! but i never knew what he looked like until <15 years ago.
	🛒 1:52pm DjLorraine: Hi there. Got a i'm a roadie song?
	🛒 1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Fame" by "David Bowie" ...can anybody hear Mr. Lennon back there somewhere ?...
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: ↳ DjLorraine @1:52 Lorraine! I played We Are The ROad Crew and Tonight's the Night, both about roadies.
	1:53pm StringOFperils: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:50 I know what you mean, but remain not in that camp. A matter of taste, no doubt in my case being deeply mired in Led Zeppelin and Mountain and Captain Beyond and Cactus (Roxy Music too though) at the time....I'm not surprised it didn't get thru to me
	🛒 1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @1:53 CaptainBeyond !
	🛒 1:55pm DjLorraine: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:53 Hehe sorry i'm late.
	1:55pm Dean: Nuts, I missed Raspberries. Simply the best pop song ever, if perhaps challenged by Bacharach's "Mexican Divorce."
	🛒 1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Fame" by "David Bowie" Thing with the descending voices - pretty neat technical trick. Still even.
	1:57pm coelacanth∅: i remember my older sister getting that "rock & roll" (b/w "rock & roll part 2") 45 when it was a hit. and thinking that's it? a tired, cliched riff that goes nowhere and lyrics saying nothing except a catch phrase? WHAT A LIAR! POSEUR. (probably not my terminology at the age of 9 or whatever!)
	2:00pm coelacanth∅: i was just disappointed you didn't play "shooting star"; but now i see the whole show's on this theme, not just that set... there's still time.
	2:00pm StringOFperils: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:57 I'm positive you would have used the epithets "mountebank' and 'scoundrel' back then
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: good luck in the hospital UM
	2:02pm coelacanth∅: (or am i making assumptions that it takes place in a hospital. yes i am.)
	2:03pm hilaryprudy: looking forward to a safe recovery for you UM...
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:01 Thanks!
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: ↳ hilaryprudy @2:03 Thank you.
	2:04pm StringOFperils: Chappo! Nice. ***hope it' isn't too serious, UM (aside from the obvious necessary surgery...serious enough)
	2:07pm dan: ↳ Song: "Top Of The Pops" by "The Kinks" Number 3 for me today.
	2:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ StringOFperils @2:00 hahaha... no, not those, but i wish i knew them then! i did dazzle some teachers with "asinine" and some other phrases my mother used
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: ↳ StringOFperils @2:04 Thanks..not too serious.
	🛒 2:10pm DjLorraine: I'm hoping for the best outcome of your surgery. You will missed. And i will look forward to your return.
	2:10pm hyde: good luck with the surgery, UM!
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone.
	2:11pm dan: Good luck with your surgery UM
	2:11pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Top of the Pops" by "The Rezillos" This is a fantastic LP! I made 1978 brighter.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I love the Scots burr.
	🛒 2:14pm egould: ↳ Song: "One Chord Wonders" by "The Adverts" Good one, UM!
	2:18pm hilaryprudy: ↳ Song: "Satan Gave Me A Taco" by "Beck" so appreciate Beck's music though I can't understand his allegience to the Hubbard folks..
	2:21pm dan: ↳ Song: "Life's Been Good" by "Joe Walsh" Willie Weeks on bass. He doesn't get enough attention.
	2:21pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n'... UM, whatever you played this off of or from, sounded super clean and well mixed. awesome. sounded really great blasting out my speakers
	🛒 2:22pm egould: ↳ Song: "Life's Been Good" by "Joe Walsh" It’s a reggae, new wave, boogie rock song. Sure, why not?
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Asheville Jon @2:21 That happens sometimes!
	2:23pm dan: ↳ Asheville Jon @2:21 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73X_z_zW4Sg You haven't heard "It's A Long Way To The Top" like this. By fellow Aussie John Farnham with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
	2:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ dan @2:21 Willie's one of the BEST!
	2:25pm Asheville Jon: ↳ dan @2:23 will check it out later, gotta head out the door in a few
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: Beck put a lot of thought into trying to make his lyrics cryptic, trying to form a mysterious image of possible "genius"... to the point of total nonsense for the sake of nonsense.
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: (that's my theory and i'm sticking to it)
	🛒 2:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Road Ode" by "The Carpenters" If a rewrite of PaulSimon's 'Homeward Bound' - a family Artful one. Or @ least Crafty.
	🛒 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:30 *fairly ...tho in fact a family act...
	🛒 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:31 ...& Arty was like Paul's family ...but nevermind...
	2:32pm Pedro in Arlington: Justice Ketanji Jackson Brown. We could use a few more.
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: David Lindley...RIP
	🛒 2:34pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ StringOFperils @1:44 I agree Rock On was dull, but I love Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll. But I've liked other David Essex stuff.
	2:35pm hilaryprudy: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:33 yep
	🛒 2:36pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Best wishes for surgery, UM.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @2:36 Thank you.
	🛒 2:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Pop Star" by "Cat Stevens" Cat so distinctive. Love.
	2:38pm Dean: Is Peter Gabriel on this Cat Stevens track?
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @2:38 You tell me.
	2:38pm Dean: Maybe.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: Wikipedia says he plays flute on Katmandu. Nothing about this track.
	2:40pm Dean: Yeah, I didn't hear flute at all.
	2:40pm Pedro in Arlington: Some Pidge Pixie on you, UM. Come back soonest.
	🛒 2:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:39 Really ! Nobody told me about that.
	🛒 2:41pm egould: Gotta’ jump in the shower. Thanks for all the music UM. Good luck with surgery. Listen to you soon.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Thank for the well-wishes, everyone.
	2:43pm dan: ↳ Song: "Super Trouper" by "ABBA" My first year of undergraduate, ABBA Gold was on repeat on my iPod.
	🛒 2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Super Trouper" by "ABBA" ...wonder if State Cops jam this when no one can hear it...
	2:43pm Dean: I guess Kinks' "Life on the Road" doesn't fit the bill? And more best wishes. Medical procedures, blech.
	🛒 2:46pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Song: "The Mud Shark" by "The Mothers" Hello HinkyDinkyites all! Thanks for The Mudshark,Unc. Maybe some Bwana Dick in the future? Needless to say, I also played the grooves off of said LP.
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	2:49pm Matt formerly jetboy: Hi all - I’ve been lurking, thought I’d pop up. Very enjoyable show today.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Matt! Thank you.
	2:51pm johnk77: great show today selecter super trouper is a model name of a spotlight often used at entertainment venues
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: john!
	2:51pm Matt formerly jetboy: Fun fact - when the replacements played this song live on some tv awards show, the network insisted they not say “feeling good from the pills we took,” so they didn’t. They replaced the refrain with “it’s too late to take pills, here we go” which is treated several times. It was great
	🛒 2:53pm KevinfromBayRidge: I missed the last mic break but good luck with whatever ails you, Unc. I presume it's not a Charisma transplant like Spazz just had.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: No, I wouldn't know what to do with charisma. Thanks, Kevin.
	2:55pm StringOFperils: Short wait-list for The Famous Charisma Transplant. Everybody's having it removed.
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ StringOFperils @1:44 i should say -as Lizzie's brought it back up, that i too saw David Essex do that song on at least one of those tv shows back then, and thought he looked sort of non-rock...like an actor playing a rock star. ...and i have heard the whole album rock on is from, and it's pretty dull! - but still i Love that song -because of the reason Uncle M offered, which is that it sounds so cool!
	2:56pm spodiodi: nice show, UM! thanks and hope things go as well as possible. see you next time
	2:57pm hyde: love this song so much
	2:58pm Gerry from Miami: Topeka and Lawrence both reek of charisma. So cool to be broadcasting from that part of the country! Best wishes with your upcoming surgery! And extra thanks for ending today's show with the .Minutemen. I lived in Pedro for 37 years. RIP, D. BOON.
	🛒 2:58pm KevinfromBayRidge: Gureaat show! Rock On!
	2:58pm dan: Great show UM
	2:59pm hyde: there's an acoustic Minutemen show you can find on Youtube where they play that song and it's really great
	2:59pm Jeff Golick: THANKS FOR THE ROCK
	🛒 3:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ UM ~ All Power & Healing & <+> WELLNESS <+> to you - we'll miss you & we'll be sending you all good vibes & strength thru them etherz.
	🛒 3:00pm DjLorraine: Thanks for the fun theme.
	3:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks for all of the Stars!!! Cheers, UM!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: in the end, bad co. wasn't necessary. Thanks Uncle M! again, hope all goes well and we look forward to your return. tchau
	3:01pm hyde: thanks!
	3:01pm Flint_Jack: Thanks Michael, great show
	🛒 3:01pm WR: I wonder if i learned enough from these songs that I can start a band and be a star. Thank you! Uncle Michael!
	3:01pm Alex In Illinois: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:55 I know that I have heard the Richard Marx cover of Rock On more than once because it took a number of times for me to remember that I heard it. It just does not have the same sound as the David Essex one. If anyone has to cover Rock On, they should take it further into where David Essex had it--not make it sounds like a generic rock song.
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
	3:03pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex In Illinois @3:01 i've heard that version -or maybe it's a different cover -played over the pa at a supermarket, several times AND IT'S HORRIBLE! -yes it lacks what makes the song!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 26, 2023

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.

	12:17pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @12:16 Act Naturally? Not a fit. Some of those are good guesses.
	12:18pm hilaryprudy: greetings all...
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: hilaryprudy!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: be sure to hide the roaches
	12:20pm Mr. Oxford: and then there are also some songs about real life rock and rollers too: Jonathan Richman - "Velvet Underground" Motorhead - "R.A.M.O.N.E.S." The Replacements - "Alex Chilton"
	12:20pm Mr. Oxford: oh and Don McLean's "American Pie"
	12:22pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Free Man In Paris" by "Joni Mitchell" noice
	12:22pm hilaryprudy: reliving my teens...
	12:22pm doctorjazz: Killin' it, UM!
	12:25pm doctorjazz: Set up an appointment for COVID booster #500 later today.
	12:26pm Kat in the chat: I like this theme
	12:26pm dan: ↳ Song: "Success Story" by "The Who" How can I forget about this one. Can't think of this song without thinking of John Entwistle gunning down a few gold records.
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: I need booster #2.
	12:26pm doctorjazz: Velvet's Rock n Roll is one...
	12:27pm Jeff Golick: There's a Bill Wyman tune I wouldn't mind hearing today...
	12:27pm davefromtoronto: it's astounding how many great tunes pete townshend wrote...
	12:29pm dan: ↳ Song: "Success Story" by "The Who" This must be one of the few, if not the only song where Daltrey, Townshend and Entwislte each sing a verse of the same song.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Jeff Golick @12:27 I have the 12"...and it slipped my mind.
	12:33pm Webhamster Henry: TMBG: XTC vs Adam Ant
	12:33pm holland oats: ↳ Song: "HAC (stem)" by "Pink Floyd" oh no you didn't
	🛒 12:35pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @12:25 Hi Docjazz, is this your 3rd, 4th, or 5th covid vax?
	12:37pm hilaryprudy: oh love this openning...
	12:37pm davefromtoronto: 5 bucks he plays "pop star" by cat stevens.
	12:39pm Marie de Queens: ↳ Song: "Venus and Mars/Rock Show" by "Wings" I love this song (and album). Hey UM, hey all! I'm signed in (!) (@)).
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Henry! holland! WR! Marie!
	12:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @12:35 Already got 5 vaccines (last one this past September), so starting from the initial series, this will be #6 (I'm at particularly high risk at work, though, and going to Africa for 3 weeks in July, so it's worth it to me to get them every 4-6 months). (I'm also in the "high risk" category because of my age... ☹️ )
	12:42pm Pedro in Arlington: I like this Wings band. Good singer.
	12:44pm Jeff Golick: Turns out I really like rock songs about rock.
	12:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:42 I hear he was part of an earlier band that wasn't bad either...
	12:45pm dan: ↳ Song: "Travelin' Band" by "Creedence Clearwater Revival" When I saw John Fogerty in concert a few years ago, this was the opener. Blew the whole house down.
	🛒 12:45pm egould: Hidee-ho Uncle Michael! Greetings to all you listeners! Nick Lowe’s “And So It Goes” is a quintessential rock band song.
	12:46pm dan: ↳ Song: "Holiday Inn" by "Elton John" One of my guesses come to fruition
	12:46pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Travelin' Band" by "Creedence Clearwater Revival" Reminds me that the doc on CCR's UK tour is good viewing.
	12:46pm Mr. Oxford: The Modern Lovers' "Roadrunner" is another song (atleast partially) about love of rock n' roll.
	12:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ dan @12:45 I had tickets to see Fogerty (with Jackson Browne) on a Monday night years back. It also turned out to be the first day my office implemented new software. I wound up working so late, I missed the whole thing. Still haven't seen either (Browne is playing in the NY/NJ area in the near future, I hear).
	🛒 12:48pm egould: The Clash “Garageland”
	12:49pm dan: ↳ doctorjazz @12:47 The lesson is, never buy tickets for a weeknight performance.
	12:49pm Pedro in Arlington: Drive-by Truckers "Let There Be Rock"
	12:49pm Gerry from Miami: Love those Paul Buckmaster horn and string arrangements he so deftly placed on those early Elton John albums!
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: egould! Pedro! Gerry!
	12:51pm KWilde: Good afternoon! Late today
	12:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Tonight's The Night" by "Neil Young" Hitting the clicky stars (I'm not that quick to do it usually...)
	12:52pm StringOFperils: What a band! What hot tubes!
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: KWilde!
	12:53pm doctorjazz: Despite all the amputations You know you could just go out And dance to a rock 'n' roll station And it was all right
	12:57pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. Lucky you! For many years after the Fantasy Records debacle between CCR and Saul Zaentz, Fogerty refused to perform any Creedence material in concert. An anti-Viernam War organization finally talked hom into relenting. CCR was truly THE favorite band of our troops during the war. We loved them so!
	🛒 12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n'... Question to me is - if what AC/DC do is so primitive & simple ...how come no else makes trax that sound like this, exactly ??
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:57 A friend of mine was John's keyboard player for that show in D.C.
	1:00pm holland oats: oh yes he did
	1:00pm StringOFperils: I can see how blasting CCR over the roar of the troop-transport's rotors would get hard-wired into a person's brain
	🛒 1:00pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning everybody
	1:01pm dan: ↳ Song: "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n'... I heard somewhere that AC/DC have not performed this song in concert since Bon Scott died.
	🛒 1:03pm egould: Descendents “Descendents”
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	1:04pm dan: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk" 2nd guess to be played
	1:05pm StringOFperils: We lived to witness The Age of Cowbell
	1:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ StringOFperils @1:05 Not enough cowbell out there, me'thinks!
	1:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ StringOFperils @1:05 Indeed. When I heard the cowbell count-off for a few seconds I thought it was going to be Nazareth's Hair Of The Dog.
	1:06pm Gerry from Miami: Did it take being produced by Todd Rundgren to make them a household word? And dropping the word "Railroad" from their band name was a smart move as well.
	1:06pm Polyus: An old friend and I used to laugh at "now these fine ladies / they had a plan" - real sophisticated plan, as it turns out.
	🛒 1:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk" 'We'll help you powder your town' ...just 70s coke jollies or whut exactly.
	🛒 1:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I always liked Bonnie's voice and prefer this version to the Karen Carpenter one. Karen just wasn't believable as a groupie.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Polyus!
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:07 "We'll help you party it down"
	1:09pm dan: ↳ Song: "Groupie (Superstar)" by "Delaney & Bonnie And Fri... I hear Bekka in Bonnie's voice.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @1:09 You hear Bonnie in Bekka's voice.
	1:09pm Gerry from Miami: Bonnie Bramlett was a hot number. This rendition has way more "oomph" than Karen Carpenter's.
	🛒 1:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @1:08 Noted Karen didn't say 'sleep with'. Yet - I was thinking the opposite - Karen convinces emotionally, which is pretty good - to be contending with D & B here...
	1:10pm KWilde: Just got the Janovitz Leon Russell bio
	🛒 1:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:08 M'kay. :D
	🛒 1:10pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:10 I will admit to a bias against Karen C - just never liked her voice or her squeaky clean image.
	1:10pm Jeff Golick: !!!
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Jeff Golick @1:10 !!!
	🛒 1:11pm egould: ↳ Song: "What's Your Name" by "Lynyrd Skynyrd" But if you play it at a faster speed, it will be over more quicly!
	1:11pm Gerry from Miami: UM, let's slow this Skynyrd band down a tad! LOL!
	🛒 1:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @1:10 Well - we know now about her Image against her Reality of fatal illness. But can't blame anyone not comfortable with that whole phenomenon - how it was presented (or actually not)... Carpenters were Pop Music, for very certain.
	🛒 1:13pm egould: Stiff Little Fingers “Wait snd See”
	🛒 1:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:13 ...yet I contend Karen had a unique & amazing Voice.
	🛒 1:14pm egould: My typing is shit today. I should probably pour a drink. Calm my nerves.
	1:15pm doctorjazz: OK, beautiful day out there, going to get on my bike (will take the show along, seems like a good'un for getting up hills).
	🛒 1:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:13 ...all the more for all that actually...
	1:16pm asheville jon: Ah yes, the good old edgewater inn
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: I live when Frank speaks Yiddish.
	1:18pm Marshall Stacks: It's sweeping the ocean!
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Marshall!
	🛒 1:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Mud Shark" by "The Mothers" Flo & Eddie really make it.
	1:19pm hyde: hello!
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: hyde!
	1:19pm DOO: Here's lookin at you
	1:20pm dan: ↳ Song: "The Mud Shark" by "The Mothers" They need to immortalize the hotel room with a plaque.
	1:20pm Gerry from Miami: Flo and Eddie were one of the most brilliant additions that Mr. Zappa ever made to his band back in the 70s. This Fillmore East recording is proof positive.
	🛒 1:21pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:20 I agree. Love them.
	1:21pm patrick321: Hey Uncle Michael and all Just realized I posted my remark about Grand Funk (noting the porn actress in the first verse) on the home page comments board, where it was met with baffled silence.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: patrick! happens...
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: ↳ DOO @1:19 Lookin' back...
	1:22pm dan: ↳ Song: "Cover of the Rolling Stone" by "Dr. Hook & The Me... Sung in "Almost Famous"
	1:22pm hilaryprudy: ↳ patrick321 @1:21 done that many times
	1:23pm patrick321: ↳ hilaryprudy @1:22 Thx I feel a bit better now ;)
	1:23pm Webhamster Henry: Got any GTOs today?
	1:23pm DOO: how many WFMU t shirts do you have?
	🛒 1:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ patrick321 @1:21 ...the grander the fonk the better...
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: ↳ DOO @1:23 N-1
	1:25pm hyde: good ol' Lemmy
	1:25pm patrick321: ↳ DOO @1:23 20, not counting sweatshirts. I counted them yesterday as I was changing my closet over to summer weights
	1:26pm wendy del formaggio: Hi Uncle Michael. For the rarely-heard perspective of a female touring musician, singing to someone she’s gotta leave behind, I recommend “The Show is Over” by the great Evelyn “Champagne” King.
	🛒 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "(We Are) The Road Crew" by "Motörhead" (>L< ))))
	1:27pm Polyus: ↳ Song: "(We Are) The Road Crew" by "Motörhead" This guy could write some good lyrics when he wanted. Lost Johnny is another example.
	1:27pm DonJuanTijuana: Best show on WFMU right now by far!
	🛒 1:29pm egould: ↳ DOO @1:23 13 WFMU shirts, one sweatshirt.
	1:30pm DOO: you're wearing shorts. how hot in Lawrence today? Currently 54 here in SF.
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Uncle M & Dinklers
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: ↳ DOO @1:30 Dunno...the weather is irrelevant. I'm indoors.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Wendy!
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: DJT!
	1:34pm dan: ↳ Song: "Gonna Make You A Star" by "David Essex" Sounds like this song could've been done by Mott The Hoople
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	1:35pm spodiodi: greetings, coelacathØ!
	1:35pm coelacanth∅: aloha spodiodi!
	🛒 1:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Gonna Make You A Star" by "David Essex" ...thot for sure that was the SteelyDans...
	1:37pm coelacanth∅: can bad co. be far behind?
	1:37pm dan: ↳ Song: "Star" by "Stealers Wheel" Classic barrelhouse piano solo.
	1:39pm Gerry from Miami: David Essex was such a big deal in Britain and Europe, but was only known in the US for one hit single, "Rock On." Wha' happened?
	1:40pm dan: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:39 American record companies getting paid off to sign other acts. Payola never died, it just became more secretive.
	1:41pm Dean: Buddy of mine saw The Dictators in LA three nights ago.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	1:42pm wendy del formaggio: The Dictators! Such nice Jewish boys!
	1:44pm coelacanth∅: rock on's such a great song too, but yeah - 1-hit wonder over here.
	1:44pm hilaryprudy: recently discovered what "all mod cons" was referring to when watching a british sitcom from the 70s
	1:44pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:39 For me, the answer was 'Rock On'. It just seemed musically uninteresting, like an actor putting out a pop song, or something inexplicable. That was my response to seeing him on Midnight Special or Don Kirshner's Rock Concert on TV, (can't remember which). I remember relegating it to Gary Glitter Rock and Roll territory, which must have been contemporary. In short, I just didn't get it. Maybe it just made more sense in the UK teen pop scene than it did in North Am
	1:45pm dan: ↳ Song: "The Next Big Thing" by "The Dictators" Just looked up The Dictators, their current drummer is Mr. Cowbell Albert Bouchard from Blue Oyster Cult.
	1:45pm Gerry from Miami: ↳ dan @1:40 @Dean. Do you know if "Handsome" Dick Manitoba was with them?
	1:47pm hilaryprudy: ↳ StringOFperils @1:44 right...very tame..
	1:47pm Dean: HDM was not with them. Here are a couple short videos my pal took: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcOfhTLUv88&t https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qyPbKL6Bk4&t=319s
	1:47pm coelacanth∅: StringO - i HATED gary glitter's "rock & roll", and Loved "rock on"! (and those sentiments have never wavered over the years)
	1:48pm dan: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:47 Gary Glitter had such a pervy look about him even before all that stuff about him came to the surface.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Rock On just sounded so cool.
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: ...although i can see how rock on might be uninteresting. just, i think the point is the subtlety - kind of like "why can't we live together" by Timmy Thomas; or Grace Jones' versions of the police or whomever...
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ dan @1:48 haha, that he did! but i never knew what he looked like until <15 years ago.
	🛒 1:52pm DjLorraine: Hi there. Got a i'm a roadie song?
	🛒 1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Fame" by "David Bowie" ...can anybody hear Mr. Lennon back there somewhere ?...
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: ↳ DjLorraine @1:52 Lorraine! I played We Are The ROad Crew and Tonight's the Night, both about roadies.
	1:53pm StringOFperils: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:50 I know what you mean, but remain not in that camp. A matter of taste, no doubt in my case being deeply mired in Led Zeppelin and Mountain and Captain Beyond and Cactus (Roxy Music too though) at the time....I'm not surprised it didn't get thru to me
	🛒 1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @1:53 CaptainBeyond !
	🛒 1:55pm DjLorraine: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:53 Hehe sorry i'm late.
	1:55pm Dean: Nuts, I missed Raspberries. Simply the best pop song ever, if perhaps challenged by Bacharach's "Mexican Divorce."
	🛒 1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Fame" by "David Bowie" Thing with the descending voices - pretty neat technical trick. Still even.
	1:57pm coelacanth∅: i remember my older sister getting that "rock & roll" (b/w "rock & roll part 2") 45 when it was a hit. and thinking that's it? a tired, cliched riff that goes nowhere and lyrics saying nothing except a catch phrase? WHAT A LIAR! POSEUR. (probably not my terminology at the age of 9 or whatever!)
	2:00pm coelacanth∅: i was just disappointed you didn't play "shooting star"; but now i see the whole show's on this theme, not just that set... there's still time.
	2:00pm StringOFperils: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:57 I'm positive you would have used the epithets "mountebank' and 'scoundrel' back then
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: good luck in the hospital UM
	2:02pm coelacanth∅: (or am i making assumptions that it takes place in a hospital. yes i am.)
	2:03pm hilaryprudy: looking forward to a safe recovery for you UM...
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:01 Thanks!
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: ↳ hilaryprudy @2:03 Thank you.
	2:04pm StringOFperils: Chappo! Nice. ***hope it' isn't too serious, UM (aside from the obvious necessary surgery...serious enough)
	2:07pm dan: ↳ Song: "Top Of The Pops" by "The Kinks" Number 3 for me today.
	2:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ StringOFperils @2:00 hahaha... no, not those, but i wish i knew them then! i did dazzle some teachers with "asinine" and some other phrases my mother used
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: ↳ StringOFperils @2:04 Thanks..not too serious.
	🛒 2:10pm DjLorraine: I'm hoping for the best outcome of your surgery. You will missed. And i will look forward to your return.
	2:10pm hyde: good luck with the surgery, UM!
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone.
	2:11pm dan: Good luck with your surgery UM
	2:11pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Top of the Pops" by "The Rezillos" This is a fantastic LP! I made 1978 brighter.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I love the Scots burr.
	🛒 2:14pm egould: ↳ Song: "One Chord Wonders" by "The Adverts" Good one, UM!
	2:18pm hilaryprudy: ↳ Song: "Satan Gave Me A Taco" by "Beck" so appreciate Beck's music though I can't understand his allegience to the Hubbard folks..
	2:21pm dan: ↳ Song: "Life's Been Good" by "Joe Walsh" Willie Weeks on bass. He doesn't get enough attention.
	2:21pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n'... UM, whatever you played this off of or from, sounded super clean and well mixed. awesome. sounded really great blasting out my speakers
	🛒 2:22pm egould: ↳ Song: "Life's Been Good" by "Joe Walsh" It’s a reggae, new wave, boogie rock song. Sure, why not?
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Asheville Jon @2:21 That happens sometimes!
	2:23pm dan: ↳ Asheville Jon @2:21 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73X_z_zW4Sg You haven't heard "It's A Long Way To The Top" like this. By fellow Aussie John Farnham with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
	2:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ dan @2:21 Willie's one of the BEST!
	2:25pm Asheville Jon: ↳ dan @2:23 will check it out later, gotta head out the door in a few
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: Beck put a lot of thought into trying to make his lyrics cryptic, trying to form a mysterious image of possible "genius"... to the point of total nonsense for the sake of nonsense.
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: (that's my theory and i'm sticking to it)
	🛒 2:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Road Ode" by "The Carpenters" If a rewrite of PaulSimon's 'Homeward Bound' - a family Artful one. Or @ least Crafty.
	🛒 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:30 *fairly ...tho in fact a family act...
	🛒 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:31 ...& Arty was like Paul's family ...but nevermind...
	2:32pm Pedro in Arlington: Justice Ketanji Jackson Brown. We could use a few more.
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: David Lindley...RIP
	🛒 2:34pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ StringOFperils @1:44 I agree Rock On was dull, but I love Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll. But I've liked other David Essex stuff.
	2:35pm hilaryprudy: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:33 yep
	🛒 2:36pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Best wishes for surgery, UM.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Sweet Corn Lizzie @2:36 Thank you.
	🛒 2:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Pop Star" by "Cat Stevens" Cat so distinctive. Love.
	2:38pm Dean: Is Peter Gabriel on this Cat Stevens track?
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @2:38 You tell me.
	2:38pm Dean: Maybe.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: Wikipedia says he plays flute on Katmandu. Nothing about this track.
	2:40pm Dean: Yeah, I didn't hear flute at all.
	2:40pm Pedro in Arlington: Some Pidge Pixie on you, UM. Come back soonest.
	🛒 2:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:39 Really ! Nobody told me about that.
	🛒 2:41pm egould: Gotta’ jump in the shower. Thanks for all the music UM. Good luck with surgery. Listen to you soon.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Thank for the well-wishes, everyone.
	2:43pm dan: ↳ Song: "Super Trouper" by "ABBA" My first year of undergraduate, ABBA Gold was on repeat on my iPod.
	🛒 2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Super Trouper" by "ABBA" ...wonder if State Cops jam this when no one can hear it...
	2:43pm Dean: I guess Kinks' "Life on the Road" doesn't fit the bill? And more best wishes. Medical procedures, blech.
	🛒 2:46pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Song: "The Mud Shark" by "The Mothers" Hello HinkyDinkyites all! Thanks for The Mudshark,Unc. Maybe some Bwana Dick in the future? Needless to say, I also played the grooves off of said LP.
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	2:49pm Matt formerly jetboy: Hi all - I’ve been lurking, thought I’d pop up. Very enjoyable show today.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Matt! Thank you.
	2:51pm johnk77: great show today selecter super trouper is a model name of a spotlight often used at entertainment venues
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: john!
	2:51pm Matt formerly jetboy: Fun fact - when the replacements played this song live on some tv awards show, the network insisted they not say “feeling good from the pills we took,” so they didn’t. They replaced the refrain with “it’s too late to take pills, here we go” which is treated several times. It was great
	🛒 2:53pm KevinfromBayRidge: I missed the last mic break but good luck with whatever ails you, Unc. I presume it's not a Charisma transplant like Spazz just had.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: No, I wouldn't know what to do with charisma. Thanks, Kevin.
	2:55pm StringOFperils: Short wait-list for The Famous Charisma Transplant. Everybody's having it removed.
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ StringOFperils @1:44 i should say -as Lizzie's brought it back up, that i too saw David Essex do that song on at least one of those tv shows back then, and thought he looked sort of non-rock...like an actor playing a rock star. ...and i have heard the whole album rock on is from, and it's pretty dull! - but still i Love that song -because of the reason Uncle M offered, which is that it sounds so cool!
	2:56pm spodiodi: nice show, UM! thanks and hope things go as well as possible. see you next time
	2:57pm hyde: love this song so much
	2:58pm Gerry from Miami: Topeka and Lawrence both reek of charisma. So cool to be broadcasting from that part of the country! Best wishes with your upcoming surgery! And extra thanks for ending today's show with the .Minutemen. I lived in Pedro for 37 years. RIP, D. BOON.
	🛒 2:58pm KevinfromBayRidge: Gureaat show! Rock On!
	2:58pm dan: Great show UM
	2:59pm hyde: there's an acoustic Minutemen show you can find on Youtube where they play that song and it's really great
	2:59pm Jeff Golick: THANKS FOR THE ROCK
	🛒 3:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ UM ~ All Power & Healing & <+> WELLNESS <+> to you - we'll miss you & we'll be sending you all good vibes & strength thru them etherz.
	🛒 3:00pm DjLorraine: Thanks for the fun theme.
	3:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks for all of the Stars!!! Cheers, UM!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: in the end, bad co. wasn't necessary. Thanks Uncle M! again, hope all goes well and we look forward to your return. tchau
	3:01pm hyde: thanks!
	3:01pm Flint_Jack: Thanks Michael, great show
	🛒 3:01pm WR: I wonder if i learned enough from these songs that I can start a band and be a star. Thank you! Uncle Michael!
	3:01pm Alex In Illinois: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:55 I know that I have heard the Richard Marx cover of Rock On more than once because it took a number of times for me to remember that I heard it. It just does not have the same sound as the David Essex one. If anyone has to cover Rock On, they should take it further into where David Essex had it--not make it sounds like a generic rock song.
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
	3:03pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex In Illinois @3:01 i've heard that version -or maybe it's a different cover -played over the pa at a supermarket, several times AND IT'S HORRIBLE! -yes it lacks what makes the song!
