Listener comments!
	11:07am paul: That's where those donations go. Disney cruises.
	11:12am paul: You're right about Robbie F. Next to Nick Lowe, he may be the best.
	11:13am paul: And that Dylan guy.
	11:15am R.C.: Paul - Since the DJ's do not get paid - how do the donations go to Disney?
	11:16am Mike: And Kim Shattuck
	11:18am paul: RC, that was a joke.
	11:20am R.C.: I dont get it. Why is saying something false funny?
	11:22am paul: It's hard to explain.
	11:24am DeemerDave: R.C.: I don't think it's funny either.
	11:27am Chuckie: I'm in stitches over here.
	11:29am tj: your show is a revelation this a.m.
	11:36am paul: That was the Bob Mould "Sugar"?
	11:39am Michael: Paul, yes. Right before he started working for pro wrestling!
	11:40am paul: Wow.
	12:09pm josh: love the wee willie walker version of ticket - available in mp3?
	12:11pm Robert: It's dry humor of a type Mr. Shelley uses a lot. He tosses off lines that seem like cliches of what a DJ doing a program somewhere might say. Not a laugh riot, I'll admit, but I get it.
	12:15pm hugslife: buffalongo. whatta name! amamos a los números uno en la mitad del mundo!
	12:17pm glenn: i thought this sweetwater track was a gene clark / dillards song i'd missed somewhere.
	12:18pm Pete: Disagree. Michael is actually does a show - not a parody of one. ALSO - saying the opposite of the truth is only funny if that thing you are parodying is worth parodying - wfmu dj's steal money is not really a funny idea.
	12:21pm seang: where are the girls?
	12:27pm paul: You aren't seriously debating my joke, are you? Let me just go on record and say that I truly believe no wfmu dj ever used donations for personal use. Now, sit back and enjoy the music.
	12:33pm James: Lighten up, people - it's Saturday afternoon!
	12:33pm glenn: huh. peter is discussing robbery with paul. never thought i'd see the day.
	12:35pm DeemerDave: Paul: Perhaps if you call a press conference to apologize for the alleged "joke", we might all be able to move on.
	12:39pm paul: LOL!
	12:43pm paul: I second that motion, James.
	12:51pm BigJay: Gotta love a gong at the end of a song!
	1:39pm Mickey: Hey, Michael after such a great show what are you going to do now? Michael: I'm going to Disney Land!!!
