	👻 9:18am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "She's Leaving Home" by "The Hollyridge Strings" Imagine Count Chocula singing over this and you'll have Bryan Ferry's cover version on All This and World War III.

	👻 9:19am Cheryl The Nerd: Maybe Mitch Miller singing Crazy Train

	👻 9:24am Dan S: ↳ Song: "Suicide Is Painless" by "Joe Scott and His Orches... Suicide may be painless, but this cover certainly isn't.
	👻 9:24am Radar: Choppers!

	9:25am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: All your easy listening faves!
	👻 9:26am Dan S: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:21 Yeah, I get tired typing LOL after everything. Just consider it an implied LOL for most of my comments.
	9:26am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Gerry from Miami @9:24 I do! I remember he wore a black leather jacket on the cover, and had a little sparkle matted onto his eye.
	9:27am Joe McG: ↳ Brendan @9:25 A lot of beautiful ladies!
	👻 9:27am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Dan S @9:24 Nothing like a Joe McGasko set to bring out the Statler and Waldorf in all of us
	9:27am Asheville Jon: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:23 think cliche 1970's department store, then drop it down a level or two. i haven't been in one in a long time, just many good childhood memories going to them. today it's probably just likee every other mall/ big box store
	👻 9:29am chresti: This set reminds me of waking up to the radio coming from the intercom in the morning when I was spending the night at a friend's house @1968
	9:30am Brendan: ↳ Joe McG @9:27 Take that Hipgnosis!
	9:30am Joe McG: The drummer on this one is really peppering those drums!
	9:31am PigeonsAndRust: As this version of Both Sides Now ramped up, the clouds parted and the sun came out for the first time today and a catbird started singing. Its like I am in a movie
	👻 9:31am chresti: ↳ Joe McG @9:30 Must be bored?
	9:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Joe McG @9:30 agree they stand out whomp!

	9:36am P-90: Nice slide guitar. Memorial Day greetings @Joe McG and all
	9:36am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Asheville Jon @9:27 I actually just looked it up, I was so damn curious. When I was the states where Boscov's is, I was a filthy road rat, who would sooner have gone into Sunday Mass at a Catholic church. But having said that, I have always loved the particular ambiance of certain department stores. I too have many fond memories of shopping with my mom.
	9:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:36 HaHa !
	9:36am Handy Haversack: Morning, Joe, Surfactants.
	9:37am Gerry from Miami: JOE, this morning one of CLAY PIGEON's most loyal glisteners, dday, posted the entire lyrics to the MANDEL/ALTMAN composition(which you just played), "SUICIDE IS PAINLESS"(theme from "MASH"). A bit depressing. Maybe why we always only heard the instrumental version.
	9:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Blowin' in the Wind" by "The Sound Symposium" this barely sounds like blowin' more like soundtrack tp mcabe =+mrs miller
	👻 9:38am Ken From Hyde Park: Birthdays today include Bruce Cockburn & Siouxie Sioux. 🎂
	👻 9:39am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Gerry from Miami @9:37 Robert Altman's son wrote that song, and the story goes that he made more money than his dad did from the film (because of the TV rights)
	9:39am Joe McG: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:38 Wow, are you kidding? I'm playing an early Bruce Cockburn thing during Single File!
	👻 9:39am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:39 he was FOURTEEN when he wrote it!
	👻 9:40am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Holly Holy" by "Ron Frangipane and His Orchestra" This should be rated S for Sominex
	👻 9:40am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Joe McG @9:39 As fate would have it, it's true!
	9:41am Franco Twinkie: Isn't Frangipane a dessert?
	9:41am P-90: feeling all the WPAT nostalgia
	9:41am ∫ydniuß: I wonder if there’s a version of the “Rockford Files” theme with vocals
	👻 9:41am Charles in Chicago: ↳ ∫ydniuß @9:41 Yeah, Hearty White did it!
	👻 9:41am Hughie Considine: ↳ Gerry from Miami @9:37 Imagine if MASH had begun with the version with lyrics and didn't include the laugh track. Show would have been ten times darker.
	9:41am Eli: Listen to Joe McGasko and the world's most beautiful music on the home of beautiful music, WFMU
	9:42am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:41 Yin, Yang.
	9:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ∫ydniuß @9:41 odd couple theme has words which i learned in a smaller hipster bar in berlin

	👻 9:43am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Sweet Caroline" by "Ray Conniff and His Orchestra... SLEEP Caroline
	9:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:42 small.... of all places
	👻 9:44am James in ATL: Digging these cool covers! Thank you, Joe!
	👻 9:45am Zip7: From Nick Groon, "The Condition of Muzak:" "Mood music was, admittedly, more risque than Muzak: an insidious reptilian ally for the lounge lizard who leered and leched over his tooled backgammon board . . . The Mystic Moods Orchestra even packaged one album with a free scented handkerchief for mopping up afterwards."
	9:45am still b/p: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:41 Starting now, it's a good replacement word-in-waiting for loud expletives in moments of abrupt smashed-thumb distress.
	👻 9:45am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:41 "Director Robert Altman had two stipulations about the song for composer Johnny Mandel: it had to be called "Suicide Is Painless" and it had to be the "stupidest song ever written". Altman attempted to write the lyric himself, but, upon finding it too difficult for his "45-year-old brain" to write something "stupid" enough, he gave the task to his 15-year-old-son Michael, who reportedly wrote the lyrics in five minutes." - WP
	9:45am burpage: completely awesome ,flags for the cemetery and tunes
	9:45am Zimharry: WVNJoyyyyyyyyyyyy........and an exhaustive childhood medley................
	👻 9:46am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Sweet Caroline" by "Ray Conniff and His Orchestra... Hey Joe. Did I read somewhere that Ray Conniff was a Brian Eno favourite. Or was it Mike Sammes.
	👻 9:46am Webhamster Henry: Whew - I just missed Sweet Caroline - CRISIS AVERTED.
	9:47am Crei6hton: Morning WFMU
	9:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Sweet Caroline" by "Ray Conniff and His Orchestra... today's hits?...caroline was 4 yrs old in '73...
	👻 9:47am Dan S: ↳ Song: "Sweet Caroline" by "Ray Conniff and His Orchestra... This version is the new Red Sox theme song. Are you listening, Boston baseball fans?
	9:47am Gerry from Miami: Is that an OPTIGAN on "SWEET CAROLINE?" Cheesy keyboard from the 70s that was powered by floppy plastic discs, sold in lowball department stores.
	👻 9:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:45 In the end, he got what he set out for.
	👻 9:47am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:46 Bah bah bah...
	9:48am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian in UK @9:46 it did have a silver apples esque synth in b/g
	9:48am Asheville Jon: Joe, there is nothing wrong with having 'those kind' of records. you should get into some Bob Ralston sometime
	👻 9:49am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:45 And the story is the Altman barely broke even, while the royalties on Suicide's lyrics put his son through college and more. Extra credit: my MASHville medley of SIP and I'm Easy from Nashville. www.wfmu.org...
	9:49am P-90: the hard part of that set for me was the repeated flashbacks to sitting in the dentist chair as a child
	9:49am ∫ydniuß: the playlist was thankfully Mitch Miller free.
	9:50am Joey C: Sounds great to me Joe
	9:50am Franco Twinkie: Interesting, Joe. I have always felt that, but never had it articulate before.
	9:50am Zimharry: ↳ P-90 @9:49 Yep.............a lot of "waiting rooms"............
	9:51am tom tom the pipers son: franj ee pa nee
	👻 9:51am Dan S: Joe, you said Neil Young instead of Diamond. Just saying.
	9:51am PigeonsAndRust: I wonder what music Ron Frangipane found boring
	9:51am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: That was the Surface Noise manifesto.
	9:51am traven: ↳ ∫ydniuß @9:49 Not to mention Lawrence Welk!
	9:52am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Dan S @9:51 Eli Whitney made all Neils interchangable
	👻 9:52am Brian in UK: A noble endeavour is a new take.
	9:52am PigeonsAndRust: "Attack of the 50 foot Living Guitars!"
	👻 9:53am Dan S: ↳ ∫ydniuß @9:52 If you drink enough fermented cotton gin.
	9:54am Gerry from Miami: JOE, you misidentified "Neil Young" for "Neil Diamond." That's OK. A common mistake. LOL!
	9:54am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Dan S @9:53 and it cleans the bathtub rings!
	👻 9:56am chresti: ↳ Dan S @9:51 Ha I didn't notice
	👻 9:56am Hughie Considine: Hey, both Neils were at the Last Waltz -- it makes a certain amount of sense.
	9:56am Franco Twinkie: You did, but so what?
	9:56am Listener Terry: “Midnight Cowboy” is the only X-Rated movie to win the Best Picture Academy Award
	9:56am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:56 was Fred Neil there too? inquiring minds…
	9:56am still b/p: The soothey energy and nostalgia and silliness, in varying combinations, of these kinds of selections make them worth having or hearing occasionally. At certain times, in the feng shui of the day and place, they are particularly suitable, favorable, smile-worthy.
	9:57am tom tom the pipers son: would neil y cover 'they're comin' to america'
	👻 9:57am Webhamster Henry: The liner notes are really worth slogging through this stuff!
	9:57am Brendan: Re: Our Man Flint - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVYPGJbcN3Q
	9:58am Gerry from Miami: That YOU TUBE clip of the drummer on "MY WAY" was awesome! The KOREAN KRUPA!
	👻 9:59am Cheryl The Nerd: *pronounced COH-burn
	10:00am Joe McG: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:59 But I like to say COCK-BURN!
	10:00am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Bruce Cockburn, pronounced CO-burn? HBD Bruce! One of the best live shows I've seen, he played over 3 hours.
	👻 10:00am Hughie Considine: ↳ ∫ydniuß @9:56 No, but Neil Armstrong might have been.
	👻 10:00am Brian in UK: The DJ is always right.
	10:01am Gerry from Miami: Isn't "FRANGIPANNE" a type of incense popular in the 60s?
	10:01am Joe McG: But Cock-burn is funny if you're 13 years old like me.
	10:01am Special Monkey: sounds like stereolab?
	10:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:57 Well Neil Young did come to (U.S.) America - from Canada. Anyway everything's NeilYoung just now...
	👻 10:01am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "4316" by "Isobel Campbell" This is the "now" sound of today's generation.
	10:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Joe McG @10:01 up there with dick hertz or down there
	10:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neil before the one you serve.
	10:02am Joe McG: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:02 Ha!
	10:03am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:01 funny i was trying to think of where the two neil's might overlap
	10:03am Joe McG: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:02 I like Neil Young, but if I had to choose between Neils, I'd shine like a Diamond.
	👻 10:04am Webhamster Henry: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:02 Dick Hymen is always a funny name to say! He's still alive at 97, too!
	👻 10:04am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:04 * Hyman
	👻 10:05am Brian in UK: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:01 Just bought Bell & Sebastian's second record. The sinister one. I like that when they tour they attempt to recreate a full sound with brass etc.
	10:05am Andres: Good morning. Bruce Cockburn, 78, “I don’t want to stop”. HBD.
	👻 10:05am Zip7: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:57 From one Mystic Moods Orchestra opus: “Stormy Weekend forecasting: Music showers from the Milky Way … Thunder from a blue black puff …Electric stars seep into the sultry night … or is it an Illusion?”
	10:06am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:04 yes, and that is a bit more covoluted...yes hyman, but to the ear hymen
	👻 10:06am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Zip7 @10:05 There used to be a feature in WFMU's LCD of selected liner notes, I think.
	👻 10:09am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Used to Be Fun" by "Seasonal Falls" This is what happens when Stealer's Wheel is your biggest influence.
	10:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:04 my teenage memory is jogged and i remember another version of that but it's a quite harsh, so better off left alone...
	👻 10:15am Dan S: ↳ Joe McG @10:03 A Crazy Diamond, LOL.
	10:15am tom tom the pipers son: 'wumps w/ denny doherty and mama cass
	👻 10:16am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Joe McG @10:01 You and Alan6Degrees have a lot in common. 🙄

	10:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Indian Summer" by "Lee Hazlewood" Can the Hazelwood weird kewl transcend 1976 stylee...
	10:18am Joe McG: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:16 Probably! The record came out then originally, but it was recorded probably in '64 or '65.
	10:19am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:16 lee hazle wood/ isaac hayes ...blood brothers...?
	10:19am Joe McG: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:18 Of course it does. Don't be silly.
	10:20am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Joe McG @10:18 right... to capitalize on mamas papas...
	10:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:19 IsaacHayes or RodMcKuen...
	10:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:20 ooohhh you snapped me...!
	10:21am greg g: Morning Joe and All! Wow what an epic time by Hazlewood .
	10:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:20 ...even some weird Venn with KenNordine ...nevermind...
	10:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:20 but seriously i think there's an equivalency there despite the obvious differences ... and mckuen nordine not arrangers
	👻 10:25am Marley P. Dogg: Morning friends! Happy Memorial Day!
	👻 10:25am Hughie Considine: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:24 Apparently McKuen's favorite color was chartreuse. So there's that.
	10:25am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Joe and Everyone.
	10:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:24 both had deadpan but romantic deliveries and were kick ass orchestrators tending towards lushness
	10:26am Re6ecca: Great, great show today!! Hit after hit!!!!
	👻 10:26am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "The Look of Love" by "Nouvelle Vague" First heard Nouvelle Vague doing a cover of Brian Eno's "No One Receiving" on this very show, and was charmed.
	10:27am Layet J: This song is great! Happy memorial day WFMU'ers
	👻 10:27am James in ATL: ↳ Song: "The Look of Love" by "Nouvelle Vague" Cool cover! Love this take on ABC.
	10:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:25 chartreuse? a hazlewood song/album
	10:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Look of Love" by "Nouvelle Vague" that was a nice cover...
	10:30am PeachFuzz: The look of Love was a Burt Bqcharach song. ABC covered it originally a Dusty Springfield song. get with it!
	👻 10:30am Dan S: ↳ Song: "The Look of Love" by "Nouvelle Vague" I vaguely think it may be pronounced "vayg."
	10:31am luka: summer dj schedule is imminent, is it not?
	👻 10:31am Hughie Considine: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:28 Extremely plausible.
	10:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ PeachFuzz @10:30 ah, thank you...
	10:31am HyperDose: ↳ luka @10:31 musical chairs with DJs!
	10:33am egould: You bleeped all of the naughty bits.
	👻 10:33am Hughie Considine: "I don't give a fig" needs to come back into popular usage.
	10:33am PeachFuzz: a lot of 80s songs were BB covers, didn't mean to sound grumpy
	10:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:31 you're saying more plausible than the hayes/ hazlewood comparison?
	10:34am Christopher John: You'll be fine, Joe.
	👻 10:34am Brian in UK: ↳ PeachFuzz @10:30 Different song. Same title.
	👻 10:35am Hughie Considine: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:33 Sounds like a plausible Hazlewood LP or song title.
	10:35am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "The Look of Love" by "Nouvelle Vague" A French Mac? Yesterday I was walking across the grass at the park. A Mexican family was setting up for a picnic under a tree. They had a boom box playing Dreams by Fleetwood Mac on pretty loud. I started doing the peacock walk - moving my head back and forth. One of the women pointed at me and started laughing. I didn't melt with shame, I just said "Good anytime of the day!" over my shoulder and kept on walking.
	👻 10:36am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Take Me to the Pilot" by "Ben E. King" This era was full of pilots and captains riding on mystery ships...we wanted to be transported, that's my theory.
	10:37am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Take Me to the Pilot" by "Ben E. King" Best Elton version of this is on the live Here and There album. Trust me.
	10:37am Joe McG: ↳ egould @10:33 Whew!
	10:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian in UK @10:34 aha...yes...but i guess easy to confuse similar tempo... intonation of title in each rendering similar
	10:38am johnk77: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:36 vision quests
	10:39am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:36 Ride Captain Ride. A girl in my English class in the eleventh grade - her brother was in Blues Image.
	10:39am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:36 nice observation...space oddity too
	10:40am drr: Wait, it the Captain in "Ride Captain Ride" the same as the Captain in "I'm Your Captain"? Wild.
	10:40am HyperDose: ohhh loverboy 😍
	10:41am WoodsOfMaine: As for Memorial Day...I just ignore it. Too many jamokes telling me I should never forget while they go off to install a dictator. Gross.
	10:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Put Your Bell Bottoms On" by "The Mel Wynn Trend" this sounds very english...music hall
	10:42am Franco Twinkie: ↳ drr @10:40 This begs the question - Did Grand Funk Railroad ever play with Blues Image?
	10:42am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Put Your Bell Bottoms On" by "The Mel Wynn Trend" My fried brain first read this as "Mel Tillis"
	10:42am pp you. The p. p p mm: NNn Nnn n nnnnknn n
	👻 10:43am Marley P. Dogg: Phiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllll!!!!!!!!!
	10:43am P-90: Memorial Day greetings @Sheila B
	10:44am Rich from Wading River: Until now I didn’t realize how this song was a ripoff of Brother Louie.
	10:45am Joe McG: ↳ Rich from Wading River @10:44 Wow, I didn't either! It's like Hot Chocolate meets Earth Wind & Fire!
	👻 10:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @10:40 Just realized why this subject struck a chord. From a book I wrote and actually talked about on this very show: "Blues Image never receives credit for its role in ushering in, albeit unconsciously, the great era of what might be called “captain-philia.” As the ’60s slipped uneasily into the new decade, you couldn’t turn the radio dial without running smack into a captain. There was Grand Funk’s “I’m Your Captain,” Neil Diamond’s “Captain Sunshine,” the Doobie Bros’ The Captain and Me, Billy Joel’s “Captain Jack,” and Elton John’s Captain Fantastic, not to mention the Captain and Tennille. (And Captain Beyond, a great stealth supergroup, formed in 1971). Perhaps this profusion of captains, along with what would now be termed the re-trending of Jesus Christ, indicates that young people were looking for a steady, manly force to guide them.

	11:13am Roberto: Let's not forget this absolute queen: www.citystudents.co.uk...
	11:13am tom tom the pipers son: "In recent years an explanation for the origin of the V-sign dating it from the Battle of Agincourt has appeared. This story maintains that British archers were so effective and so feared by their enemy that when the French captured an archer they chopped off the two fingers he needed to draw a bow-string. Bowmen who had not been thus disfigured took to holding up two fingers to taunt their cowardly foes. Needless to say, there is no shred of evidence to support this unlikely origin, but it is on its way to becoming entrenched in the popular mind and becoming folklore in itself."

	👻 11:53am DjLorraine: Thank you
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well two fingers of course was 'V for Victory' before the Peace Sign - as per Churchill. Have even read that Aleister Crowley suggested it to the RAF & such as a symbolic counter to the swastika - as in that sort of Western Ceremonial Magick tradition - it is analogous to holding arms above you in a V, representing Resurrection - which follows a position analogous to the Cross or Swastika (a Cross in Motion) - & thus would supersede it... So I reckon the transition to it meaning 'Peace' as counter to Fascism could well follow...
	11:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tadpoles @11:49 story of the archers essentially the same meaning just adds a subtext,,,
	👻 11:54am Dan S: A very fun show, Joe. Thanks!

	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:54 ...I may be conflating it also with Crowley suggesting Thumbs Up to them - as a phallic power symbol superior to the sawstika...
	11:55am Joe McG: Hey folks, thanks for spending part of your Memorial Day with me today. I hope the rest of it lives up to expectations! See you again next week!
	11:55am tom tom the pipers son: thanks joe....

They had a boom box playing Dreams by Fleetwood Mac on pretty loud. I started doing the peacock walk - moving my head back and forth. One of the women pointed at me and started laughing.

	👻 10:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @10:40 Just realized why this subject struck a chord. From a book I wrote and actually talked about on this very show: "Blues Image never receives credit for its role in ushering in, albeit unconsciously, the great era of what might be called “captain-philia.” As the ’60s slipped uneasily into the new decade, you couldn’t turn the radio dial without running smack into a captain. There was Grand Funk’s “I’m Your Captain,” Neil Diamond’s “Captain Sunshine,” the Doobie Bros’ The Captain and Me, Billy Joel’s “Captain Jack,” and Elton John’s Captain Fantastic, not to mention the Captain and Tennille. (And Captain Beyond, a great stealth supergroup, formed in 1971). Perhaps this profusion of captains, along with what would now be termed the re-trending of Jesus Christ, indicates that young people were looking for a steady, manly force to guide them.

	11:13am tom tom the pipers son: "In recent years an explanation for the origin of the V-sign dating it from the Battle of Agincourt has appeared. This story maintains that British archers were so effective and so feared by their enemy that when the French captured an archer they chopped off the two fingers he needed to draw a bow-string. Bowmen who had not been thus disfigured took to holding up two fingers to taunt their cowardly foes. Needless to say, there is no shred of evidence to support this unlikely origin, but it is on its way to becoming entrenched in the popular mind and becoming folklore in itself."

	👻 11:53am DjLorraine: Thank you
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well two fingers of course was 'V for Victory' before the Peace Sign - as per Churchill. Have even read that Aleister Crowley suggested it to the RAF & such as a symbolic counter to the swastika - as in that sort of Western Ceremonial Magick tradition - it is analogous to holding arms above you in a V, representing Resurrection - which follows a position analogous to the Cross or Swastika (a Cross in Motion) - & thus would supersede it... So I reckon the transition to it meaning 'Peace' as counter to Fascism could well follow...
	11:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tadpoles @11:49 story of the archers essentially the same meaning just adds a subtext,,,
	👻 11:54am Dan S: A very fun show, Joe. Thanks!

	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:54 ...I may be conflating it also with Crowley suggesting Thumbs Up to them - as a phallic power symbol superior to the sawstika...
