	👻 6:31pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "Mandinka" by "Sinead O’Connor" 🙌🙌🙌
	6:33pm CathyN: When I was growing up in the 80’s I didn’t have much use for the pop music, I loved the blues, and 50s/60s rock. After the past 40 years and listening to your and Rob Levy’s 80s shows, I’ve reevaluated that and now think the 80’s were the last decade of good overall pop music. Of course, there’s good artists/bands in any decade, and thank you for finding and playing them on your show. But, the pop music now seems…so bland, homogenized, and corporatized. Maybe it’s because the actual music is an afterthought to music videos and stage shows. Maybe all that is wanted now is just good looks and a good social media presence and the record companies provide the music by synthesizers and autotune the singing. Maybe it’s time for me to shout “Get off my lawn!”
	👻 6:34pm Candy-O'67: You're speaking truth here!
	6:37pm Dr. Jeff: ↳ CathyN @6:33 I've been texting with Rob during the show. The Megashow was a lot of fun! Too bad the station went down the toilet. But I'm having the most fun I've had in radio right here! Greatest radio station in America!
	6:43pm laurapanic: been driving around and this has been so lovely. House of Love has been my fave.
	6:45pm Dr. Jeff: ↳ laurapanic @6:43 Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying! Drive safely! ;)
	6:47pm asheville jon: Enjoyed the show!
	👻 6:48pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "(Forever) Live and Die" by "Orchestral Manoeuvres... Oh man, I loved them!
	6:48pm Dr. Jeff: ↳ asheville jon @6:47 Thanks, brother! Glad you enjoyed!
	6:49pm Joe from Hideaway: SO much fun!
	6:49pm asheville jon: Now i have a desire to binge watch 80's movies
	👻 6:52pm OceanBeachSF: ↳ Song: "Love Plus One" by "Haircut One Hundred" So great! And more sax!!
	6:54pm Tom in Brooklyn: After the 70s, I along with many others thought that the 80s were a bit of a disappointment. But there were so many great 80s songs. Thanks Dr J for playing an excellent selection of them!
	6:55pm Dan from Delco: Great show! I’ll throw you a pledge.
	👻 6:55pm Candy-O'67: Thx so much, Jeff! Enjoyed the show of the songs of my youth!😁♥️🙌
	6:56pm Dr. Jeff: ↳ Dan from Delco @6:55 Thanks so much! And thanks for listening!
	6:57pm Dr. Jeff: ↳ Candy-O'67 @6:55 Thank you, darling! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for listening!

	5:37pm asheville jon: Ah, the sax....what was it about the 80's that everyone had to have a sax in the songs?
	5:40pm Dr. Jeff: ↳ asheville jon @5:37 Something about the sax that got people all sexed up back then.

	6:33pm CathyN: When I was growing up in the 80’s I didn’t have much use for the pop music, I loved the blues, and 50s/60s rock. After the past 40 years and listening to your and Rob Levy’s 80s shows, I’ve reevaluated that and now think the 80’s were the last decade of good overall pop music. Of course, there’s good artists/bands in any decade, and thank you for finding and playing them on your show. But, the pop music now seems…so bland, homogenized, and corporatized. Maybe it’s because the actual music is an afterthought to music videos and stage shows. Maybe all that is wanted now is just good looks and a good social media presence and the record companies provide the music by synthesizers and autotune the singing. Maybe it’s time for me to shout “Get off my lawn!”
	👻 6:34pm Candy-O'67: You're speaking truth here!
	6:37pm Dr. Jeff: ↳ CathyN @6:33 I've been texting with Rob during the show. The Megashow was a lot of fun! Too bad the station went down the toilet. But I'm having the most fun I've had in radio right here! Greatest radio station in America!
	6:43pm laurapanic: been driving around and this has been so lovely. House of Love has been my fave.
	6:45pm Dr. Jeff: ↳ laurapanic @6:43 Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying! Drive safely! ;)

	👻 6:48pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "(Forever) Live and Die" by "Orchestral Manoeuvres... Oh man, I loved them!
	6:48pm Dr. Jeff: ↳ asheville jon @6:47 Thanks, brother! Glad you enjoyed!
	6:49pm Joe from Hideaway: SO much fun!
	6:49pm asheville jon: Now i have a desire to binge watch 80's movies
	👻 6:52pm OceanBeachSF: ↳ Song: "Love Plus One" by "Haircut One Hundred" So great! And more sax!!
	6:54pm Tom in Brooklyn: After the 70s, I along with many others thought that the 80s were a bit of a disappointment. But there were so many great 80s songs. Thanks Dr J for playing an excellent selection of them!
	6:55pm Dan from Delco: Great show! I’ll throw you a pledge.
