	6:09am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:06 Great seeing you again last night, TDK!
	6:09am fred: Hello Brian and all
	6:10am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:03 Yes, in fact, I had a link to his obit in the comment section, but it disappeared. Added it back.
	6:10am morphe': World’s cartoonists on this week’s events: https://www.politico.eu/article/worlds-cartoonists-on-this-weeks-events-119/ ps. noticed in the past weeks that the person (or AI bot?) who had complaining about the news and the politics dropped off or chats not??? Hopefully still listens and now gets it???
	⚡ 6:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:10 ah...
	6:12am fred: @tom tom: I could log in with router unplugged, but got errors, sigh... WFMU on (with router now on, obvs), so the main function of my computer is preserved
	6:12am pgalub: Yo Brian and everyone.
	6:13am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @6:10 I like the first one.
	6:14am fred: ↳ morphe' @6:10 I doubt they ever really listened
	6:14am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:14 Or I won them over with my charm.
	⚡ 6:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:12 ah is that the least or most you could hope for? still more work ahead....
	6:15am morphe': ↳ Brian D @6:13 Actually, that one is either an Homage or knockoff to one from long ago; I always had copies to give away .. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/529102656195197854/
	6:18am TDK60: ↳ Brian D @6:09 Oh yes, good to see you too. The gathering ended up being our smallest so far, but good conversations.
	⚡ 6:19am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian: no audrey on chat board i take it....
	6:19am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:15 Most. My fear was being locked out. Now I can at least spend more hours trying to fix stuff. Had it been bricked, I'd have been in a lot of trouble. I'll have to turn off internet at some point, after Brian's show, to make sure I can access stuff in case I'm cut off (now's the time to do it, not when I'm actually cut off)
	6:20am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:18 Sometimes that's better. I saw that the star of the show eventually showed.
	⚡ 6:21am William Hellfire: I used to drink water from the hose. I got cancer. Ford motor company is responsible for my premature death and short hair cuts.
	⚡ 6:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:19 wow that is nerve wracking...
	⚡ 6:22am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "Don't Cry No Tears" by "Penny Arcade" This guitar sounds very '70s euro-horror
	6:23am john_zilla: ↳ Song: "Melatonin" by "A Tribe Called Quest" yeah!!
	6:25am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & everyone! Peace Love & Feijoas!
	6:26am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:22 Time consuming more than nerve wracking, really. I try to be prepared for outages or crashes. That just takes time. Of course, if the grid comes down (PE shoutout) I'm out of luck
	6:29am astral glamour: Melatonin by A Tribe Called Quest (We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service) I Can’t believe this album came out in 2016 (either time flys or I’ve lost years). Anyway, that Tribe album is/was a revelation. one of The Finest satisfying albums Ever -(and holds up if not surpasses their previous stellar output).
	⚡ 6:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:26 do you have anything stored on it yet?
	6:31am fred: ↳ Song: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by "Robert Glasper Exper... Kathleen Hanna on where that title came from: www.youtube.com...
	⚡ 6:33am tom tom the pipers son: @brian: did you see heather cox richardson's newsletter? is she predicting civil war?
	6:35am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:29 I transferred the backup, I'm wary to download new stuff until I get it right. I don't want to backup faulty stuff. I'll eventually do it, but separately (my unconnected backup drive is 16 times bigger than my computer's, so I can afford that paranoia)
	⚡ 6:35am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:33 the civil war won't be civil
	6:36am astral glamour: not yet (maybe never?) but the new movie ‘Civil War’ is suggesting it’s a thing …
	⚡ 6:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:35 ah...
	⚡ 6:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ astral glamour @6:36 didn't know it was "in the air"
	⚡ 6:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:35 they never are
	6:39am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:37 Maybe I should get a separate backup drive, just in case... But would I keep track and update the right one each time? I don't trust my brain that much
	⚡ 6:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:39 i guess first things first...
	6:41am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:37 Sheila B had a fill-in this week, so it might be in the air tonight
	⚡ 6:41am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Hey good morning from the dog park, where we are out listening while we chase the ball and the squirrels all over the place!
	6:42am morphe': Think?? the next MeetUp is July in the day in Central Park ??? Will have to miss that one too..
	⚡ 6:43am Heidee: Good morning, just managed to tune in and looking forward to the show. Hi Brian and everybody, hope yer all well.
	6:43am astral glamour: Director Alex Garland: Ex Machina, Annihilation, Men, & now Civil War (“cheerful” stuff - eh?). Anybody ever watch mini-series “DEVS”? Worthwhile?
	6:43am Mr. Pumpy: ↳ astral glamour @6:43 DEVS is cool.
	⚡ 6:44am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:41 sheila b/ civil war? i never listened to her show...
	6:45am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:44 Nah, she's a Phil Collins fan, hence the "in the air tonight" thing
	6:45am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @6:43 Heidee!
	⚡ 6:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Heidee @6:43 hi heidee...
	⚡ 6:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:45 gotcha...
	⚡ 6:46am Heidee: ↳ Brian D @6:45 Hiya!! Love the wave vibes!
	⚡ 6:46am William Hellfire: I'm sure everyone had a blast at the meet up. Please have a early afternoon meet up one time like at Ruts Hut! I turn into a pumpkin after 5:pm. Brian! Your show is great! Recommendation: TV show Benji, Zax and the Prince from outer space.
	⚡ 6:46am Heidee: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:45 Hey there! 👋
	6:46am jim from wood ridge NJ: Hi! What year is this? Feels so ‘82
	6:47am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @6:41 Any news about Miranda?
	6:49am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @6:46 Thanks William! A lunchtime meet-up at Ruts Hut sounds great.
	6:49am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian!! Good Morning, Afternoon and Evening all those tuned in.
	⚡ 6:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Heidee @6:46 mixchael says it's sunny up in cologne...sunny in heidelberg?
	6:52am fred: ↳ Song: "Clip: CBS-EPA sets new rule for forever chemicals... New rules, what about enforcing the rules?
	⚡ 6:53am William Hellfire: ↳ Brian D @6:49 Let's do it. We can ask them to play fools paradise on a Saturday!
	6:53am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:52 That would be refreshing.
	⚡ 6:54am Heidee: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:50 It is gorgeous here at the moment. Yesterday the school staff went on a hike through the Palatinan vine hills, winetasting at a local vintner included. Makes teachers happy! 😂🥂
	⚡ 6:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:52 like there's a fear that impeding commerce on any level is going to send the whole thing tumbling down...
	6:55am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @6:53 I can even take the train... But, I can't organize a two-car wedding, as the old saying goes.
	⚡ 6:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Heidee @6:54 ha! i laughed at your emoji
	⚡ 6:58am William Hellfire: ↳ Brian D @6:55 I'll call Ritz hut....I'll consult with the cats.
	⚡ 6:58am newton: packing the car getting ready to hit the road, can listen but can't comment, possibly best case scenario
	⚡ 7:00am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ fred @6:47 As of Tuesday she's officially listed for transplantation at UPenn. Things are early still, but the she's looking into listing at a couple other locations as well. On my end I've designed a cool little lung graphic with a QR code and printed a bunch of stickers that I and friends have been sticking up in various locations across the continent. And Miranda, she's doing great. Obviously annoyed with all the drugs she has to take, and she's on an oxygen tank, but she's feeling really loved right now. Sorry for the long message but I think that's the full news.
	7:04am astral glamour: @Hell🔥: aawww “Benji” - the golden days. As a pro, Have you digested ‘Hawmps!’ a 1976 American Western slapstick comedy film about a United States Cavalry experiment to introduce camels into the service in the western United States, specifically Texas. (features Slim Pickens). Ha!
	⚡ 7:06am William Hellfire: ↳ astral glamour @7:04 I have not sounds nuts. Check out the Benji TV show trailer on YouTube. It was Saturday morning TV in 1983. Bonkers.
	7:08am Sylvia: Hi Brian and all listening
	⚡ 7:10am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian...krasner and de kooning long careers
	7:11am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:00 Don't feel sorry, I prompted you for it (I'm barfing at it's the most I can do right now, but I'll do it) Have a link to the fundraising site or does she not need that anymore?
	⚡ 7:11am William Hellfire: Playing music and making movies should always be for you and your friends. Make art for the fun of it.
	7:13am astral glamour: @Hell🔥, that camel humpy calvary movie is from the same guy that made Benji films & your tv series. Joe Camp (great moniker!). I wish I had seen it already as a kid. 🤷‍♂️
	7:13am WallCharger360: Audrey Flack, Hollis-Taggart Gallery 521 W 26th up thru April 20
	⚡ 7:15am William Hellfire: ↳ astral glamour @7:13 I need to contact the rights holder. I want to do a blue ray. It's shot on video so it's perfect for my lable. Saturns Core.
	7:15am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:10 He lived to 93, but really only had a 20 year window... a great window, and a relatively long one. But had he not gotten, er, distracted, he'd likely have had a longer window.
	7:16am rich in angleton: good morning Brian! hello everybody in radioland!
	7:16am Brian D: ↳ WallCharger360 @7:13 Thank you, WallCharger. www.hollistaggart.com...
	⚡ 7:18am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ fred @7:11 I always have the fundraising link! And if anyone has any extra scratch to toss her way we are definitely still fundraising! gofund.me...
	7:18am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:16 Rich!
	⚡ 7:19am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Just added the book to my hold list at the library, really enjoying this interview
	7:20am Lil' Momma: Good morning everybody, so glad I'm listening in and catching this interview, where else would I have discovered Audrey Flack... Cool, thank you
	7:20am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:19 Thanks! Audrey is great, and the book is terrific. Well written, and beautifully presented (images of art).
	7:20am Sylvia: ↳ Song: "Interview with artist Audrey Flack--Part 1" to this day, Björk still has to defend the fact she does everything, and produces her art. There's always a journalist to drop name a man or two when mentioning her...
	⚡ 7:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:15 i disagree...he had something of a resurgence in the 70's and produced a lot of good work, and even his work when he had dementia is interesting though controversial
	7:21am Brian D: ↳ Lil' Momma @7:20 Her work is wonderful.
	7:21am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning
	7:23am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:21 I included the early 70s in his "window." But I guarantee you know more about art than I do, so I'll defer.
	7:24am dale: pablo picasso was never called an asshole.....but maybe he was. especially by gertrude stein.
	⚡ 7:28am William Hellfire: ↳ dale @7:24 Hahaha! Repo man Mike Nesmith.
	⚡ 7:28am tom tom the pipers son: i'd say demoiselles, the masks aren't reflections of women but a reflection of picasso's fear of them or just reflects women as an "other"
	⚡ 7:31am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "Pablo Picasso" by "Audrey Flack and the History o... This is great!!!
	7:31am Strandlund: This is such a good Interview, Brian!! Thank you!!
	⚡ 7:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:28 isn't their lineage from manet's olympia to demoiselles?
	7:32am rich in angleton: this is a great interview! and such a great song!
	7:32am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:18 I tried to make a donation, not sure it worked (new computer, no smartphone). It was a good test, worst thing is I'll try again
	⚡ 7:32am tom tom the pipers son: audrey's doing a nice job on this
	7:33am morphe': ↳ Song: "Pablo Picasso" by "Audrey Flack and the History o... What instrument does she play? I was out of sound for a bit...
	7:34am dale: SOO many ads and pop ups on forbes website.
	⚡ 7:34am William Hellfire: ↳ morphe' @7:33 Banjo and yuke.
	7:35am morphe': ↳ fred @7:32 Check yer bank statement Mon afternoon-Tues so as to not make a dupe ...
	7:35am morphe': Jonathan Richman: "Pablo Picasso was such an Asshole..."
	7:35am Strandlund: Jon Lovitz playing Picasso on SNL was always a delight!!
	⚡ 7:38am Bobby: Hey DJ hey radio friends! Enjoying the show
	7:38am morphe': Leon Golub and Nancy Spero used to come in to St Marks Bookshop in the early 80s - he was a super doofus/pain and she was really normal and lovely ...I also liked/still like her work a lot
	7:38am Krys O.: Good morning!
	⚡ 7:39am tom tom the pipers son: rev rabbit made a very funny joke the other night when i commented on seeing carl andre kicking squares of metal into place in a gallery...he said "kicking squares around...that's action painting"
	7:39am fred: ↳ morphe' @7:35 Ha! French banks are closed Saturday to Monday, unless there's a holiday, if if's within their weekend, they get Tuesday off as compensation
	7:40am Strandlund: These songs are great!!
	7:40am Lawrence: wow - never heard Audrey's music! Incredible insider outsider songs
	⚡ 7:41am EyeballKid: Really enjoyed that discussion /interview, nice work Jim The Poet. Great show this morning!
	⚡ 7:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ EyeballKid @7:41 wrong host buddy
	7:43am dale: ↳ Lawrence @7:40 'insider outsider' - that's keen!
	⚡ 7:44am Will thee SG OCNY: good morning Brian D and all!!!
	7:44am Brian D: ↳ EyeballKid @7:41 You flatter me.
	7:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In Rawk Music for instance - even closer to us in time & where our attention tends to be in a way - the 1960s Revolutions I've always felt rooted in - the 'Revolutions' didn't extend to women's liberation to a large extent. As a cultural movement - that had to wait until the 1970s. & of course chauvinism persists as much as, say, racism does - & equality has not been achieved. The one time I did make it to Paris - & so actually see Works in person - I did experience an adjustment in my feelings about Modernism. The Centre Georges-Pomidou left me a bit underwhelmed. Seeing Works there face-to-face seemed not too different than seeing them in books. Aha. Once one has the Idea - you've got it. But the Musée d'Orsay of Impressionism left me feeling - these guys were really about Painting - & seen gthem in books was not the full experience. Well it's not a new idea that we've been in a PostModern era for some time. We're PostPostPostMod maybe by now... Personally, I think being better informed about Artists' - or anyone's - biographies is all for the good. Why not know the truth & the facts ? But then the overall question of what is the relation of Art, Artists - & Morality & Ethics ? I'm sort of not inclined to ask that Artists should by Role Models. Yet one doesn't want to support harmful behaviors either. Representation Matters. No pun intended...
	⚡ 7:45am EyeballKid: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:42 Horrors! I am SO sorry. Good Morning. DOn't mind all the egg on my face...
	7:47am Strandlund: Andy Goldsworthy is a real genius. I worked with him here in Des Moines when he did a piece called 3 Cairns. It's a fantastic piece!! dsmpublicartfoundation.org...
	7:47am Brian D: ↳ EyeballKid @7:45 Don't be! Jim is a legend. I've been called much worse.
	⚡ 7:48am Bobby: ↳ EyeballKid @7:45 Be careful when crossing the streams. Safe journey!
	7:48am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:47 That piece was featured in the documentary "Lean Into The Wind," I think, no?
	⚡ 7:49am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian, one question i wanted to ask audrey is that i see her photorealist work as an antecedent of barbara kruger who on the surface doesn't have anything to do with photo realism but does have something to do with consumer culture
	⚡ 7:51am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ fred @7:32 Well we definitely thank you, it's gonna be a long road ahead and it's great to see how many people care.
	7:51am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:49 That's very true, as evidenced in the Monroe painting on the playlist.
	7:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lennon also said @ one time 'I am a very Religious fellow'. He was obviously a Mystic & believed any number of things after all. 'Jesus was all right - but it's his followers that ruin it for me.' Lennon a prominent figure in Modernism whose personal evolution itself seemed the Work of Art in a sense - partly in how it holds a mirror to all of what happened in Society. & in that - & in everything - he only made it to age 40 in 1980. & that's the fact of contextualizing him...
	7:52am Brian D: ↳ Brian D @7:51 And even World War II, which is the third painting on the playlist.
	7:54am astral glamour: - if one can catch the newish documentary titled ‘ANSELM’ (Kiefer) in a theatrical setting, directed by Wim Wenders - it’s a wonderful & eye washing experience to see & hear.
	7:54am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:51 Don't thank me, I'm just testing my computer setup, and it hasn't even cleared yet
	⚡ 7:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:52 i never really saw the politics in audrey's work, but now i see her work related to someone like ed keinholtz
	7:55am Strandlund: ↳ Brian D @7:48 Yes. I believe so. He was such a nice guy. Didn't act like he was above anyone else...He and his Wallers from Scotland loved Krispy Kreme donuts and had to have them every morning before they started work. Great group of guys!!
	7:56am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:54 That's interesting. Keinholz doesn't come up in the book, I don't think. But there are similarities, for sure.
	7:57am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:55 That's good to hear. Would suck if he was a d**k. He comes of his nice in the two docs I've seen.
	7:57am Lawrence: Amazing show - thank you!
	⚡ 7:58am Bobby: Will be reading this book
	7:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I like the Paintings on this page. Both the aesthetic & that they have something to say - are relevant. I see that Realism is important (& certainly admirable skill) here - but I'd tend to think of them as quite stylized with elements of Expressionism & Pop - that is, Modernism - to them tho.
	⚡ 8:00am tom tom the pipers son: i always wondered how we create very specific faces in dreams that we've never seen before
	8:01am Strandlund: ↳ Brian D @7:57 Very friendly man. I have a Krispy Kreme napkin signed by him and all his Wallers!!
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: did audrey use an overhead projector or slides to make her paintings?
	8:03am The Butterman: A+ work here, Brian D. Thanks.
	⚡ 8:03am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian , thanks audrey
	8:03am kev in c'ville: what a wonderful show. thank you for this start to my saturday
	8:03am Brian D: Overhead, I think. Though maybe she switched as photo tech evolved?
	8:04am Strandlund: Thank you for that interview, Brian!! Audrey was an absolute delight!!
	8:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Comedain Steve Hofstetter was taking questions - & was asked about what he thot about how appropriate something Richard Pryor or someone said ...& Steve stopped them & said - here's the thing. It doesn't matter. Not to slight previous Comedians or the questioner - but it's not relevant. Because what we consider appropriate is changing now every couple of weeks !
	⚡ 8:08am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Vincent Van Gogh" by "Audrey Flack and the Histor... Impressive interview. Thanks!
	8:09am aak: Very enjoyable program this morning…thanks
	8:11am dale: ↳ Song: "Purple Mother" by "Hannah Marcus" i like the lil' horrified anime kids in the lower right of that painting.
	8:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I kind of consider the problem with Marilyn Monroe was that everyone wanted to cast Marilyn Monroe ...& that was already a Role for NormaJean. Modernism, Identity & Society ...well, its the Age of ♒︎Aquarius isn't it. I wonder if we're in for a couple thousand years juggling that stuff. Oh & Technology is also a correlate of the sign. This Marilyn painting kind of asks us to be her looking in the mirror...
	8:11am astral glamour: Brian - your shows (& this featuring Audrey Flack) are welcomed augmentations to our lives. I have found your interviews a particular highlight of your shows. Introductions = an education. & now hearing this raw Hannah Marcus music! = 👏👏👏 -try & find see/hear Louise Bourgeois documentary from awhile ago. As well as that new Anselm. You will undoubtedly appreciate.
	8:13am David WSW: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:05 Wake and Bake Glistener here. I agree. Mores and moral guardrails are shifting all the time, and now they are shifting much more rapidly. I try to hold onto my long-held beliefs and mores regarding being a good person but in living in this present world, I have to judge my past more harshly than I feel comfortable doing. But I was a jerk, and I can accept that now and try to be better. It’s hard for people in general to judge their previous selves harshly and to adjust to the here and now. My fear is that horrible and abusive behavior and attitudes become the new norm. I see that happening.
	8:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Imagine' is in fact the Communist Manifesto as a child's limerick.
	8:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ David WSW @8:13 Well - there's the hype over the battle of Being Woke - or Not. Is this a real battle - or another narrative to distract us from real & specific issues ? One always suspects the Narratives presented themselves. What Stories are we being sold...
	8:17am Barbie: Nice interview
	8:18am Brian D: ↳ Barbie @8:17 Hi Barbie! Thank you.
	8:18am fred: ↳ David WSW @8:13 I have to watch my comment count (close to the ban threshold), but I'll say that what others do shouldn't be such an issue. When we let it get one, politicians seize it and it gets big. But then it's not about what others do then, it's about who are the "others". Very different vibe
	⚡ 8:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:16 the word "woke" is just a boogeyman for the right
	8:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:18 ...but yes one is alarmed that Waking Up ('Woke') - being better informed & acting like it - should be an idea that gets toxified & manipulated & violently opposed.
	8:20am Re6ecca: Wonderful show today Brian! After hanging out last week, John asked me to wake him up early for your show! He’s impressed!
	⚡ 8:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:19 yes didn't mean to diminish it, it's a potent festering boogeyman
	⚡ 8:23am Bobby: ↳ fred @8:18 There’s a ban threshold? Like an actual hard number?
	8:23am morphe': ↳ Song: "Pablo Picasso" by "David Bowie" Ahhh.. I thought Jonathan Richman had the song ... more FMU Uni Education ...
	⚡ 8:24am Bobby: Maybe someone else can answer me not fred haha
	8:25am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @8:23 Yes, 20 comments per show, I think. I can override it, though.
	8:25am David WSW: ↳ fred @8:18 Yes. Anything can be used as a political cudgel and “being woke” is the cudgel of these times. What happens when the cudgel swings and hits the hitter? By the way, I think the limit is strictly self-imposed.
	8:25am Brian D: ↳ Re6ecca @8:20 Thanks Becky and welcome John! Great seeing you last week, too.
	⚡ 8:26am Bobby: ↳ Brian D @8:25 Ah I did not know this, thank you. I thought people only got banned for trolling or spamming the board with abuse
	8:26am morphe': ↳ fred @8:18 I believe the comment limit is not so unless the dj decides "..way too much..." I could be wrong???
	8:26am David WSW: ↳ Brian D @8:25 Really? Clay lets me get away with much too much. LOL
	⚡ 8:27am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bobby @8:26 i've never seen it imposed...
	8:27am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @8:26 Could be. Either way, for valued commenters, I'd override it (yes, Fred, you're valued).
	⚡ 8:28am Bobby: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:27 thanks tom! also i value fred!
	8:28am morphe': ↳ Song: "Pablo Picasso" by "David Bowie" The Modern Lovers do also have a Pablo Picasso song ... ".. such an assho
	8:29am Picante Mint: Good morning

	⚡ 8:39am herb.nyc: Great interview, Brian! And her insights into the (male) art world, men have so much to answer for. Her songs AND her daughter’s are terrific, so different from each other.

	6:09am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:06 Great seeing you again last night, TDK!
	6:09am fred: Hello Brian and all
	6:10am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:03 Yes, in fact, I had a link to his obit in the comment section, but it disappeared. Added it back.
	6:10am morphe': World’s cartoonists on this week’s events: https://www.politico.eu/article/worlds-cartoonists-on-this-weeks-events-119/ ps. noticed in the past weeks that the person (or AI bot?) who had complaining about the news and the politics dropped off or chats not??? Hopefully still listens and now gets it???
	⚡ 6:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:10 ah...
	6:12am fred: @tom tom: I could log in with router unplugged, but got errors, sigh... WFMU on (with router now on, obvs), so the main function of my computer is preserved
	6:12am pgalub: Yo Brian and everyone.
	6:13am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @6:10 I like the first one.
	6:14am fred: ↳ morphe' @6:10 I doubt they ever really listened
	6:14am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:14 Or I won them over with my charm.
	⚡ 6:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:12 ah is that the least or most you could hope for? still more work ahead....
	6:15am morphe': ↳ Brian D @6:13 Actually, that one is either an Homage or knockoff to one from long ago; I always had copies to give away .. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/529102656195197854/
	6:18am TDK60: ↳ Brian D @6:09 Oh yes, good to see you too. The gathering ended up being our smallest so far, but good conversations.
	⚡ 6:19am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian: no audrey on chat board i take it....
	6:19am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:15 Most. My fear was being locked out. Now I can at least spend more hours trying to fix stuff. Had it been bricked, I'd have been in a lot of trouble. I'll have to turn off internet at some point, after Brian's show, to make sure I can access stuff in case I'm cut off (now's the time to do it, not when I'm actually cut off)
	6:20am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:18 Sometimes that's better. I saw that the star of the show eventually showed.
	⚡ 6:21am William Hellfire: I used to drink water from the hose. I got cancer. Ford motor company is responsible for my premature death and short hair cuts.
	⚡ 6:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:19 wow that is nerve wracking...
	⚡ 6:22am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "Don't Cry No Tears" by "Penny Arcade" This guitar sounds very '70s euro-horror
	6:23am john_zilla: ↳ Song: "Melatonin" by "A Tribe Called Quest" yeah!!
	6:25am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & everyone! Peace Love & Feijoas!
	6:26am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:22 Time consuming more than nerve wracking, really. I try to be prepared for outages or crashes. That just takes time. Of course, if the grid comes down (PE shoutout) I'm out of luck
	6:29am astral glamour: Melatonin by A Tribe Called Quest (We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service) I Can’t believe this album came out in 2016 (either time flys or I’ve lost years). Anyway, that Tribe album is/was a revelation. one of The Finest satisfying albums Ever -(and holds up if not surpasses their previous stellar output).
	⚡ 6:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:26 do you have anything stored on it yet?
	6:31am fred: ↳ Song: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by "Robert Glasper Exper... Kathleen Hanna on where that title came from: www.youtube.com...
	⚡ 6:33am tom tom the pipers son: @brian: did you see heather cox richardson's newsletter? is she predicting civil war?
	6:35am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:29 I transferred the backup, I'm wary to download new stuff until I get it right. I don't want to backup faulty stuff. I'll eventually do it, but separately (my unconnected backup drive is 16 times bigger than my computer's, so I can afford that paranoia)
	⚡ 6:35am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:33 the civil war won't be civil
	6:36am astral glamour: not yet (maybe never?) but the new movie ‘Civil War’ is suggesting it’s a thing …
	⚡ 6:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:35 ah...
	⚡ 6:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ astral glamour @6:36 didn't know it was "in the air"
	⚡ 6:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:35 they never are
	6:39am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:37 Maybe I should get a separate backup drive, just in case... But would I keep track and update the right one each time? I don't trust my brain that much
	⚡ 6:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:39 i guess first things first...
	6:41am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:37 Sheila B had a fill-in this week, so it might be in the air tonight
	⚡ 6:41am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Hey good morning from the dog park, where we are out listening while we chase the ball and the squirrels all over the place!
	6:42am morphe': Think?? the next MeetUp is July in the day in Central Park ??? Will have to miss that one too..

	6:43am astral glamour: Director Alex Garland: Ex Machina, Annihilation, Men, & now Civil War (“cheerful” stuff - eh?). Anybody ever watch mini-series “DEVS”? Worthwhile?
	6:43am Mr. Pumpy: ↳ astral glamour @6:43 DEVS is cool.
	⚡ 6:44am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:41 sheila b/ civil war? i never listened to her show...
	6:45am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:44 Nah, she's a Phil Collins fan, hence the "in the air tonight" thing
	6:45am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @6:43 Heidee!
	⚡ 6:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Heidee @6:43 hi heidee...

	⚡ 6:46am William Hellfire: I'm sure everyone had a blast at the meet up. Please have a early afternoon meet up one time like at Ruts Hut! I turn into a pumpkin after 5:pm. Brian! Your show is great! Recommendation: TV show Benji, Zax and the Prince from outer space.
	⚡ 6:46am Heidee: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:45 Hey there! 👋
	6:46am jim from wood ridge NJ: Hi! What year is this? Feels so ‘82
	6:47am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @6:41 Any news about Miranda?
	6:49am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @6:46 Thanks William! A lunchtime meet-up at Ruts Hut sounds great.

	⚡ 6:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Heidee @6:46 mixchael says it's sunny up in cologne...sunny in heidelberg?

	⚡ 6:53am William Hellfire: ↳ Brian D @6:49 Let's do it. We can ask them to play fools paradise on a Saturday!
	6:53am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:52 That would be refreshing.
	⚡ 6:54am Heidee: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:50 It is gorgeous here at the moment. Yesterday the school staff went on a hike through the Palatinan vine hills, winetasting at a local vintner included. Makes teachers happy! 😂🥂
	⚡ 6:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:52 like there's a fear that impeding commerce on any level is going to send the whole thing tumbling down...
	6:55am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @6:53 I can even take the train... But, I can't organize a two-car wedding, as the old saying goes.
	⚡ 6:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Heidee @6:54 ha! i laughed at your emoji
	⚡ 6:58am William Hellfire: ↳ Brian D @6:55 I'll call Ritz hut....I'll consult with the cats.
	⚡ 6:58am newton: packing the car getting ready to hit the road, can listen but can't comment, possibly best case scenario
	⚡ 7:00am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ fred @6:47 As of Tuesday she's officially listed for transplantation at UPenn. Things are early still, but the she's looking into listing at a couple other locations as well. On my end I've designed a cool little lung graphic with a QR code and printed a bunch of stickers that I and friends have been sticking up in various locations across the continent. And Miranda, she's doing great. Obviously annoyed with all the drugs she has to take, and she's on an oxygen tank, but she's feeling really loved right now. Sorry for the long message but I think that's the full news.
	7:04am astral glamour: @Hell🔥: aawww “Benji” - the golden days. As a pro, Have you digested ‘Hawmps!’ a 1976 American Western slapstick comedy film about a United States Cavalry experiment to introduce camels into the service in the western United States, specifically Texas.

	⚡ 7:06am William Hellfire: ↳ astral glamour @7:04 I have not sounds nuts. Check out the Benji TV show trailer on YouTube. It was Saturday morning TV in 1983. Bonkers.

	7:11am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:00 Don't feel sorry, I prompted you for it (I'm barfing at it's the most I can do right now, but I'll do it) Have a link to the fundraising site or does she not need that anymore?
	⚡ 7:11am William Hellfire: Playing music and making movies should always be for you and your friends. Make art for the fun of it.
	7:13am astral glamour: @Hell🔥, that camel humpy calvary movie is from the same guy that made Benji films & your tv series. Joe Camp (great moniker!). I wish I had seen it already as a kid. 🤷‍♂️

	7:20am Sylvia: ↳ Song: "Interview with artist Audrey Flack--Part 1" to this day, Björk still has to defend the fact she does everything, and produces her art. There's always a journalist to drop name a man or two when mentioning her...
	⚡ 7:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:15 i disagree...he had something of a resurgence in the 70's and produced a lot of good work, and even his work when he had dementia is interesting though controversial
	7:21am Brian D: ↳ Lil' Momma @7:20 Her work is wonderful.
	7:21am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning
	7:23am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:21 I included the early 70s in his "window." But I guarantee you know more about art than I do, so I'll defer.

	7:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In Rawk Music for instance - even closer to us in time & where our attention tends to be in a way - the 1960s Revolutions I've always felt rooted in - the 'Revolutions' didn't extend to women's liberation to a large extent. As a cultural movement - that had to wait until the 1970s. & of course chauvinism persists as much as, say, racism does - & equality has not been achieved. The one time I did make it to Paris - & so actually see Works in person - I did experience an adjustment in my feelings about Modernism. The Centre Georges-Pomidou left me a bit underwhelmed. Seeing Works there face-to-face seemed not too different than seeing them in books. Aha. Once one has the Idea - you've got it. But the Musée d'Orsay of Impressionism left me feeling - these guys were really about Painting - & seen gthem in books was not the full experience. Well it's not a new idea that we've been in a PostModern era for some time. We're PostPostPostMod maybe by now... Personally, I think being better informed about Artists' - or anyone's - biographies is all for the good. Why not know the truth & the facts ? But then the overall question of what is the relation of Art, Artists - & Morality & Ethics ? I'm sort of not inclined to ask that Artists should by Role Models. Yet one doesn't want to support harmful behaviors either. Representation Matters. No pun intended...
	⚡ 7:45am EyeballKid: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:42 Horrors! I am SO sorry. Good Morning. DOn't mind all the egg on my face...
	7:47am Strandlund: Andy Goldsworthy is a real genius. I worked with him here in Des Moines when he did a piece called 3 Cairns. It's a fantastic piece!! dsmpublicartfoundation.org...
	7:47am Brian D: ↳ EyeballKid @7:45 Don't be! Jim is a legend. I've been called much worse.
	⚡ 7:48am Bobby: ↳ EyeballKid @7:45 Be careful when crossing the streams. Safe journey!
	7:48am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:47 That piece was featured in the documentary "Lean Into The Wind," I think, no?
	⚡ 7:49am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian, one question i wanted to ask audrey is that i see her photorealist work as an antecedent of barbara kruger who on the surface doesn't have anything to do with photo realism but does have something to do with consumer culture
	⚡ 7:51am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ fred @7:32 Well we definitely thank you, it's gonna be a long road ahead and it's great to see how many people care.
	7:51am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:49 That's very true, as evidenced in the Monroe painting on the playlist.
	7:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lennon also said @ one time 'I am a very Religious fellow'. He was obviously a Mystic & believed any number of things after all. 'Jesus was all right - but it's his followers that ruin it for me.' Lennon a prominent figure in Modernism whose personal evolution itself seemed the Work of Art in a sense - partly in how it holds a mirror to all of what happened in Society. & in that - & in everything - he only made it to age 40 in 1980. & that's the fact of contextualizing him...
	7:52am Brian D: ↳ Brian D @7:51 And even World War II, which is the third painting on the playlist.
	7:54am astral glamour: - if one can catch the newish documentary titled ‘ANSELM’ (Kiefer) in a theatrical setting, directed by Wim Wenders - it’s a wonderful & eye washing experience to see & hear.
	7:54am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:51 Don't thank me, I'm just testing my computer setup, and it hasn't even cleared yet
	⚡ 7:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:52 i never really saw the politics in audrey's work, but now i see her work related to someone like ed keinholtz
	7:55am Strandlund: ↳ Brian D @7:48 Yes. I believe so. He was such a nice guy. Didn't act like he was above anyone else...He and his Wallers from Scotland loved Krispy Kreme donuts and had to have them every morning before they started work. Great group of guys!!
	7:56am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:54 That's interesting. Keinholz doesn't come up in the book, I don't think. But there are similarities, for sure.
	7:57am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:55 That's good to hear. Would suck if he was a d**k. He comes of his nice in the two docs I've seen.
	7:57am Lawrence: Amazing show - thank you!
	⚡ 7:58am Bobby: Will be reading this book
	7:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I like the Paintings on this page. Both the aesthetic & that they have something to say - are relevant. I see that Realism is important (& certainly admirable skill) here - but I'd tend to think of them as quite stylized with elements of Expressionism & Pop - that is, Modernism - to them tho.
	⚡ 8:00am tom tom the pipers son: i always wondered how we create very specific faces in dreams that we've never seen before
	8:01am Strandlund: ↳ Brian D @7:57 Very friendly man. I have a Krispy Kreme napkin signed by him and all his Wallers!!
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: did audrey use an overhead projector or slides to make her paintings?
	8:03am The Butterman: A+ work here, Brian D. Thanks.
	⚡ 8:03am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian , thanks audrey
	8:03am kev in c'ville: what a wonderful show. thank you for this start to my saturday
	8:03am Brian D: Overhead, I think. Though maybe she switched as photo tech evolved?
	8:04am Strandlund: Thank you for that interview, Brian!! Audrey was an absolute delight!!
	8:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Comedain Steve Hofstetter was taking questions - & was asked about what he thot about how appropriate something Richard Pryor or someone said ...& Steve stopped them & said - here's the thing. It doesn't matter. Not to slight previous Comedians or the questioner - but it's not relevant. Because what we consider appropriate is changing now every couple of weeks !
	⚡ 8:08am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Vincent Van Gogh" by "Audrey Flack and the Histor... Impressive interview. Thanks!
	8:09am aak: Very enjoyable program this morning…thanks
	8:11am dale: ↳ Song: "Purple Mother" by "Hannah Marcus" i like the lil' horrified anime kids in the lower right of that painting.
	8:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I kind of consider the problem with Marilyn Monroe was that everyone wanted to cast Marilyn Monroe ...& that was already a Role for NormaJean. Modernism, Identity & Society ...well, its the Age of ♒︎Aquarius isn't it. I wonder if we're in for a couple thousand years juggling that stuff. Oh & Technology is also a correlate of the sign. This Marilyn painting kind of asks us to be her looking in the mirror...
	8:11am astral glamour: Brian - your shows (& this featuring Audrey Flack) are welcomed augmentations to our lives. I have found your interviews a particular highlight of your shows. Introductions = an education. & now hearing this raw Hannah Marcus music! = 👏👏👏 -try & find see/hear Louise Bourgeois documentary from awhile ago. As well as that new Anselm. You will undoubtedly appreciate.
	8:13am David WSW: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:05 Wake and Bake Glistener here. I agree. Mores and moral guardrails are shifting all the time, and now they are shifting much more rapidly. I try to hold onto my long-held beliefs and mores regarding being a good person but in living in this present world, I have to judge my past more harshly than I feel comfortable doing. But I was a jerk, and I can accept that now and try to be better. It’s hard for people in general to judge their previous selves harshly and to adjust to the here and now. My fear is that horrible and abusive behavior and attitudes become the new norm. I see that happening.
	8:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Imagine' is in fact the Communist Manifesto as a child's limerick.
	8:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ David WSW @8:13 Well - there's the hype over the battle of Being Woke - or Not. Is this a real battle - or another narrative to distract us from real & specific issues ? One always suspects the Narratives presented themselves. What Stories are we being sold...
	8:17am Barbie: Nice interview
	8:18am Brian D: ↳ Barbie @8:17 Hi Barbie! Thank you.
	8:18am fred: ↳ David WSW @8:13 I have to watch my comment count (close to the ban threshold), but I'll say that what others do shouldn't be such an issue. When we let it get one, politicians seize it and it gets big. But then it's not about what others do then, it's about who are the "others". Very different vibe
	⚡ 8:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:16 the word "woke" is just a boogeyman for the right
	8:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:18 ...but yes one is alarmed that Waking Up ('Woke') - being better informed & acting like it - should be an idea that gets toxified & manipulated & violently opposed.
	8:20am Re6ecca: Wonderful show today Brian! After hanging out last week, John asked me to wake him up early for your show! He’s impressed!
	⚡ 8:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:19 yes didn't mean to diminish it, it's a potent festering boogeyman
	⚡ 8:23am Bobby: ↳ fred @8:18 There’s a ban threshold? Like an actual hard number?
	8:23am morphe': ↳ Song: "Pablo Picasso" by "David Bowie" Ahhh.. I thought Jonathan Richman had the song ... more FMU Uni Education ...
	⚡ 8:24am Bobby: Maybe someone else can answer me not fred haha
	8:25am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @8:23 Yes, 20 comments per show, I think. I can override it, though.
	8:25am David WSW: ↳ fred @8:18 Yes. Anything can be used as a political cudgel and “being woke” is the cudgel of these times. What happens when the cudgel swings and hits the hitter? By the way, I think the limit is strictly self-imposed.
	8:25am Brian D: ↳ Re6ecca @8:20 Thanks Becky and welcome John! Great seeing you last week, too.
	⚡ 8:26am Bobby: ↳ Brian D @8:25 Ah I did not know this, thank you. I thought people only got banned for trolling or spamming the board with abuse
	8:26am morphe': ↳ fred @8:18 I believe the comment limit is not so unless the dj decides "..way too much..." I could be wrong???
	8:26am David WSW: ↳ Brian D @8:25 Really? Clay lets me get away with much too much. LOL
	⚡ 8:27am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bobby @8:26 i've never seen it imposed...
	8:27am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @8:26 Could be. Either way, for valued commenters, I'd override it (yes, Fred, you're valued).
	⚡ 8:28am Bobby: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:27 thanks tom! also i value fred!
	8:28am morphe': ↳ Song: "Pablo Picasso" by "David Bowie" The Modern Lovers do also have a Pablo Picasso song ... ".. such an assho
	8:29am Picante Mint: Good morning
	8:30am fred: ↳ morphe' @8:26 No, you're blocked everywhere until Ken pardons you
	8:30am Dugan: That Bowie tune - is that Earl Slick on guitar at the end?
	8:30am morphe': Must go over the hill to the village, for the coming week's provisions... Thanks BD and all !!!
	8:31am Brian D: ↳ Dugan @8:30 Yessir
	8:33am astral glamour: … pee casso : Modern Lovers (JR), then John Cale (Helen of Troy album) and Bowie … quite a trilogy (I’m sure there are myriad scads of other cover versions) - make for an interesting one-note comp.
	8:33am David WSW: Thanks, Brian D. This is great. I’m glad I jumped on this morning.
	⚡ 8:33am Bobby: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:27 I was thinking about how many times I might have gone over 20 during late night Naomi, Kellen, Zoe B shows
	8:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pablo Picasso song def written by Jonathan Richman.
	⚡ 8:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bobby @8:33 yeah me too, late night, a different deal, i think...
	⚡ 8:36am William Hellfire: You cats are so funny. Going on a Spanish omelet run. Wayne diner on Hamburg turnpike makes the best. Great show Brian!
	8:36am fred: I think it's about bots and trolls really. If you can ask Ken, you'll be cleared (no bot can do that). Just don't mention hot air balloons and Bob Dylan
	⚡ 8:39am herb.nyc: Great interview, Brian! And her insights into the (male) art world, men have so much to answer for. Her songs AND her daughter’s are terrific, so different from each other. I posted this on a Thur wfmu chatboard, about a woman who died. nyt obit yest. Fyi: (Aside- maybe some have heard of, or know, San Francisco’s trina robbins. She’s a comics person, author, thrifter,… and latter is how I first knew of her. She died yest, had a stroke some weeks back. I met her twice and read her memoir. Terrific person. Btw, fook oj simpson)
	8:40am Sean T-Rex: ↳ Bobby @8:33 For me it would be with Stashu or Bucci. And they only 1 hour shows!
	8:41am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @8:39 Thanks, Herb. Hadn't heard about Trina Robbins' passing. 86...
	8:41am sydniuß: ↳ herb.nyc @8:39 he can rest easy her killer has been found
	⚡ 8:42am Bobby: ↳ Sean T-Rex @8:40 Heh! Bucci is too interesting and funny, blame him for making you do it
	⚡ 8:43am WR: Thank you for the feature on Audrey Flack.
	⚡ 8:45am Heidee: Thank you Brian! Always enjoy being here. Take care all. x
	8:45am Brian D: ↳ WR @8:43 Truly my pleasure. And honor. Amazing artist and person.
	⚡ 8:46am herb.nyc: ↳ Brian D @8:41 Oops. nyt did a correktion- she was 85. Oh wait, were they correkting it to 86? I’m confusing myself. Maxwell smart, where are you?
	⚡ 8:49am herb.nyc: ↳ sydniuß @8:41 I told my friends this: Orenthal. New of the weird’s chuck shepherd used as euphemism. Newt- fuck Helms- shit Clinton- penis Dworkin- vagina Orenthal- asshole Conceived in 90s. Example: “Oh man, I came home helms-faced last night!”
	⚡ 8:49am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Thanks Brian! Always a pleasure, see you next week!
	⚡ 8:49am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian, have to take off.... thanks for having audrey on, it was great, nice job
	8:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ herb.nyc @8:49 ?? ...I like the idea of just shouting NEWT as an interjection...
	⚡ 8:52am herb.nyc: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:51 George Carlin-“newt you and anyone that looks like you!”
	8:52am Brian D: Hey, thank you all. And my thanks to Audrey Flack for her time. Do check out her show at Hollis Taggart and read With Darkness Came Stars. Stay safe and have a great week.
	8:53am pmcWhenever: fantastic interview and show -thx
	⚡ 8:54am herb.nyc: ↳ herb.nyc @8:49 Ugh, typo- it’s News of the Weird Thx for the show, Brian, take care.
	8:54am ∫ydniuß: I do like public space euphemisms. People who put curses on your cars? I’m against it. We used ”Frack” from Battlestar Galactica as children. Delightfully subversive.
	8:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ herb.nyc @8:52 ...not to say LennyBruce. But we digress...
	8:56am PaulRobeson1924: They’ll never take our special room!
	8:56am PaulRobeson1924: Morningggggggggg ah
	8:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ ∫ydniuß @8:54 Now of course there is actual Fracking. & plenty of it.
