Listener comments!
	🛒 10:28am Granny Spicy Tuna: A preliminary comment: i am SOo)o0OOO00o))))oooo sad i cannot listen to this tribute live. I'm gonna hold my breath and have a tantrum and NOT take the grabage out and i am being eaten by a boa constric…
	12:01pm chresti: Heya Dinks! Waaaah, Granny's tied up!
	12:02pm ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ): ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
	12:02pm Paul from Toronto: Happy Friday, Uncle Michael. Happy Friday, fellow Dinks!
	12:03pm Asheville Jon: Hindy Dinky Ding Dang! YAY, it's Friday!! Hi Uncle Michael!
	12:03pm coelacanth∅: Greetlings Unca M and Dinklings
	12:03pm Roberto: Dave le Spazze played the song behind this loop last night. Impeach the President!
	12:04pm Asheville Jon: oy, my speeling is a bite oughh todaey
	12:05pm dan: Hi everyone.
	12:05pm coelacanth∅: do you ever get tired of moving so frequently?
	12:05pm Asheville Jon: wow, not much to say about Jamestown.
	12:06pm dan: Well what is it, a lifetime or just a day?
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: GST! chresti! Paul! Jon! Coel! Roberto! dan!
	12:09pm hyde: hello!
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: hyde!
	12:11pm hyde: sorry i'm late, i was in an argument about whether or not you can catch Asian carp with bait rigs (you CAN)
	12:11pm Asheville Jon: sweet Emmylou choice
	12:11pm Dean: Piedmont:meat pond::dead letter:bedwetter Had to get that off my chest.
	🛒 12:12pm Franco Twinkie: Hyde, Asian carp are the fish that are clogging up drains and smell bad?
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	12:13pm βrian: Baited breath is the worst.
	12:13pm dan: I'm gonna make a prediction that Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue" is going to be the closer.
	12:14pm Roberto: Will we be hearing Dr. Demento program perennial favorite "The Smoke-off?"
	12:15pm hyde: @Franco they're an introduced species here (so are European carp too actually, but they've been here so long everyone's forgotten) and they don't really smell bad they just have a negative effect on American game fish. In Asia people fish for them & they're a (bony) delicacy.
	12:15pm Lane Gray: Good choice of EmmyLou for this one.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Franco! Brian! Lane!
	12:16pm Rich in Washington: Hello, Uncle Michael! Howdy, everyone!
	12:16pm dan: I figure if you play Emmylou Harris, the next song would be Nanci Griffith. The two go hand in hand.
	🛒 12:17pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning!
	12:17pm Rich in Washington: For some reason, I found The Smoke-Off profoundly disturbing as a young child.
	🛒 12:17pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, I must be confusing it with some other problem fish that I read about.
	12:18pm melinda: hi everyone!
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Lizzie!
	12:18pm Roberto: I loved The Smoke-off. Especially the part where Pearl screams, "Man I didn't come here to f around, I came here to smoke!"
	🛒 12:19pm Franco Twinkie: Melinda! You okay now?
	12:19pm dan: The Giving Tree is a child's first tearjerker story.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: melinda!
	12:19pm βrian: The Muskellunge is your spirit animal, right melinda?
	12:21pm hyde: @Franco it's probably the same. carp get terrible press in the States.
	12:21pm doctorjazz: Hi all! Pretty set!
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:24pm Daddy-o Dilly: As a Nielson family this week, I have the frightfully important task of writing down in their booklet every radio broadcast we listen to for seven days. Yes, internet streaming and podcasts count as much as FM & AM radio. Neilson's method of collecting listener data with little booklets one writes in is the same as it was in the 1960s. Several WFMU programs will be included in my listening log. Very happy to include Hinky Dinky Time, Uncle Michael!l! Isn't the ability to simply HEAR a wonderful thing and not to be taken for granted.
	12:26pm Rich in Washington: Eugene!
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: Mark! Thank you for proving my existence!
	12:26pm hyde: i love this song.
	12:29pm melinda: @Franco tooth still has stealth fracture, eating mushy foods only. The endodontist is in Belize so I can't get it fixed until next Thursday. But my keyboard got fixed today so I'm feeling a bit chipper, at least for a while.
	12:29pm doctorjazz: What Hyde said.
	12:29pm Jeff Golick: Gotta quit my carping. Hi there.
	12:30pm Lane Gray: The Chadbourne made me think of "Atonal Music (like grandpa used to play) by Alison Brown youtu.be...
	12:32pm Dean: Encore!
	🛒 12:32pm Franco Twinkie: Melinda, Sorry to hear that. I guess that means Easter candy is out of the picture this year. Scalloped potatoes?
	12:36pm melinda: Pureed potatoes.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	🛒 12:40pm nostrangerer: How quaint. A special feature because the music is special instead of because something special happened. Very refreshing.
	🛒 12:40pm Franco Twinkie: David Steinberg had a second act as a director of Television commercials. I worked on something for him in that context and he was so NOT FUNNY as a boss.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: stranger!
	12:42pm Lane Gray: Steinberg gave me a vibe that he'd probably NOT be pleasant I love this Prine version
	🛒 12:42pm Franco Twinkie: Lane, yup.
	12:43pm annie: oops.. sorry to be late, a neighbor popped in, borrowing my CD collection...sorry to hear about your toothiness issue,melinda! imo, ANY john prine is good; Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings was a great album!
	🛒 12:43pm nostrangerer: @franco I totally understand expect and believe that about Steinberg.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: annie!
	12:44pm dan: Whenever I hear Marianne Faithfull's version of Lucy Jordan, I think of the weird early 80s Scandinavian film "Montenegro" with Susan Anspach. Weirdass film.
	12:45pm Lane Gray: Annie, I have and love the Prine/Mac Wiseman CD (RIP Mac. But he had a good innings )
	12:47pm Lane Gray: I was SUPPOSED to go to sleep an hour ago. Radio too interesting.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Sorry, Lane.
	12:47pm Asheville Jon: R E K !!!!
	12:48pm Tome: this feel just right now <> let this long weekend [ for most or yous I hope ]not end ...
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: two young believers on a three dollar spree
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Tome!
	🛒 12:49pm Franco Twinkie: Lane, do you work graveyard or are you in some alternate time zone?
	12:49pm Tome: I was hearing Gordon Lightfoot for a minute ,, dis lex ix me yes great stuff Uncle M <!>
	12:50pm melinda: I like Robert Earl Keen, saw him open for Jimmie Dale Gilmore in the late 80s. He had a funny story about writing a song with Lyle Lovett and then remaining in obscurity while Lyle rocketed to stardom.
	12:55pm Dean: I wanna hear Elmer Fudd sing Lullabys, Legends & Lies.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: You're a bad person, Dean.
	12:55pm Dean: ...followed by Little Feat's Willin'.
	12:57pm Dean: Me and Michael Jackson.
	12:57pm dan: @Dean I want to hear Elmer Fudd sing Little Feat's "Oh Atwanta"
	12:58pm Dean: Witto Feat, featowing Wowuh George
	🛒 12:59pm Franco Twinkie: How about Fudd doing Twipe Face Boogie?
	12:59pm βrian: This is just a bit too much fun.
	1:00pm dan: Shel Silverstein sounded a bit like Sterling "Winnie The Pooh" Holloway with that reading.
	1:00pm annie: i favorited this episode..
	1:01pm Lane Gray: I run team with Mrs Gray and she prefers driving daytime.
	1:01pm Roberto: Yeah, I've been meaning to point out for years that the auto cross-fade is a bit too eager a lot of the time.
	1:02pm dan: Marilyn Manson is a no talent hack. He couldn't make Shel Silverstein sound intriguing.
	🛒 1:03pm Franco Twinkie: So Lane, Elmer Fudd doing Willin' and Truck Stop Girl might be right up your ally?
	1:07pm The Oscar: Afternoon! Discovering "Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book" was definitely an eye-opener in high school. I'm just gonna go ahead and preemptively clickystar this episode right now.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	1:07pm βrian: "So sue me."
	1:07pm Lane Gray: I LOVE this in Lester's voice
	1:09pm northguineahills: B even w/o power for 80 mins. Nice strong storm!
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: NGH! After Marie Laveau you're all gonna wanna go listen to Bryce for 3:13.
	1:14pm melinda: haha
	1:15pm The Oscar: Is this the earliest known GBV side project?
	1:15pm annie: jeebus, UM, there was no Tissue-alert for this song!
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Absolutely.
	1:21pm hyde: Kris Kristofferson is playing in my town tonite. I probably should have gotten tickets.
	1:23pm hyde: wow, i just looked at the theater website. there are a LOT of tickets left.
	1:24pm Asheville Jon: i saw KK in a cheesy country bar in Albuquerque many moons ago
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: I saw Kris open for the Everly Brothers once.
	1:25pm dan: @hyde People like KK don't have the audience they once had.
	1:26pm βrian: John Prine is playing in town next month. $73.50 - $103.50. I guess I'll be staying home.
	1:26pm Michael 98145: i found this ole fountain pen sitting in the gutter, so i'm writing this thank you note
	1:26pm hyde: @dean especially around here. Massachusetts is not really classic country music territory.
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: Michael!
	1:27pm dan: @Brian You can thank iTunes for jacked up ticket prices.
	1:29pm melinda: I saw Kris in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
	1:32pm Lane Gray: I was so busy noticing The Taker was "not Waylon" that I didn't notice it was Marty.
	1:32pm annie: @ βrian: sad state of affairs it is.... the venues win and the people, the true fans,lose out because ... $$$$.. even boycotting the event makes no impact
	1:36pm Michael 98145: { should've played this during the marathon :) }
	1:36pm coelacanth: i thought you'd play "sylvia's mother"
	1:36pm annie: "Cover of the Rollin' Stone"... still great!
	1:36pm dan: Elton John has two ladies? That's a laugh.
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: there we go!
	1:39pm annie: this song hits close to home... still love it!
	1:40pm Lane Gray: What a cool version
	1:41pm coelacanth∅: i like this better than the dr.hook version (though i barely remember it)
	1:42pm Michael 98145: groovy
	1:43pm coelacanth∅: - song adjusted for inflation
	1:43pm steveL: No idea Sylvia’s Mother was a strong reggae cover track. The more you know!
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Steve!
	1:45pm coelacanth∅: haha! goddamn it. empty calories.
	1:46pm Lane Gray: I usually hear "It's Plastic" from the Fraser Hayes Four (it shows up on reruns of British comedies I listen to)
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: holy shit! i didn't know Shel Silverstein wrote this!
	1:50pm dan: The Irish Rovers were actually Irish emigrants in Canada.
	1:50pm Lane Gray: I watched Sandy Toxvig unload on mermaids. They're always shown with piscene scales and cetacean tails (they're at right angles to each other). She is a wonderful replacement for Stephen Fry on QI
	🛒 1:52pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, this fucking song!
	1:54pm coelacanth∅: they sure waste a lot of food
	🛒 1:54pm Franco Twinkie: Perfect! Now I can go shopping for Easter dinner. Thanks Michael!
	1:54pm melinda: I thought this sounded like Sheila B
	1:55pm Fuzzy: Reminds me of Blondie's Rapture.
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: Franco take out the garbage before you go!
	1:55pm Roberto: YASS Quaaaludes Again!
	🛒 1:57pm Franco Twinkie: Qaaludes, jelly beans, Jordan almonds and chocolate eggs.
	1:57pm The Oscar: This is my favorite poem from Where the Sidewalk Ends.
	1:58pm Roberto: I hadn't heard that in maybe 35 years. Damn that's good.
	2:00pm hyde: i had sort of forgotten about Flying Fish Records
	2:00pm Michael 98145: Yup. The kids have moved on from Quaaludes ..
	2:01pm dan: The kids version of "Quaaludes Again" should be cough syrup.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: I like Buck pretending C&W artists aren't into pills.
	🛒 2:05pm Franco Twinkie: Or at least the Bakersfield Herald Dispatch.
	2:06pm The Oscar: Chalk another one up to "I never knew this was Shel!"
	2:07pm hyde: yeah, i didnt know this one was him either
	2:07pm melinda: @Oscar right!?
	🛒 2:08pm nostrangerer: @Lane. LOL over anatomically incorrect mermaids...
	2:10pm Pedro in Arlington: Saw Buck at his club in Bakersfield in '96. He told this joke, which isn't funny but it tells you Buck's politics even back then. "I saw Bill Clinton in front of the White House with two dogs. He said 'I got them for Hillary.' I said 'that sounds like a pretty good trade.'" Brilliant musician and businessman anyway.
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: Pedro!
	2:14pm βrian: Cetacean tales? Fleep can comment, surely.
	🛒 2:17pm nostrangerer: Why you credit Ray Price on the Old Dogs cut?
	2:17pm Ike: Hi all!
	2:18pm hyde: i love this whole record so much
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: Ike! Because that was Ray singing?
	2:20pm annie: i love this song so much!!!
	2:26pm ɨkɛ: Woah, I totally forgot Shel Silverstein put out actual records instead of just writing songs.
	2:29pm melinda: Great show UM, gotta split early!
	2:32pm Listening Out There: @ike: Shel Silverstein also wrote children's books, like the classic Where the Sidewalk Ends. Talented guy...
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: see ya, melinda! good luck with the tooth.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: L.O.T.!
	2:37pm ɨkɛ: @LOT, yep I grew up with the kind of depressing but totally awesome one that ends with the stump and the old man or something. Giving Tree, that's it! Now I remember!
	2:38pm dan: The Freaker's Ball today would be called the Democrat National Convention.
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Everything's better in Finnish.
	2:42pm Michael 98145: from Start to Finnish
	2:43pm annie: this has been such a great show today, UM!!!
	2:44pm Lane Gray: Very good show .
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, annie!
	2:45pm Roberto: Crap, we're running out of time for The Smoke-Off.
	2:46pm annie: tomorrow IS april 20th... i have two rolled.. no one within miles to share with..... sheesh..
	2:46pm chresti: Thanks Uncle!
	2:48pm hyde: double shot of Tompall Glaser today!
	2:48pm dan: 20 years ago next month, Shel Silverstein passed away. This show is a measure of this man's genius. Thanks UM
	2:48pm Dean: "Paremmin" is "better" in Finnish.
	2:50pm Michael 98145: happy Ēostre weekend, friends. don't the European neighbors also enjoy a holiday on monday ??
	2:51pm Dean: "Everything" is "kaikki" in Finnish.
	2:51pm Roberto: YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
	2:52pm Roberto: This may be the first time I've heard this uncensored (unredacted?).
	🛒 2:53pm nostrangerer: Ok, maybe the Ray Price version of Me & Jimmy Rogers is from the Twistable Turnable Man comp. Don't see Price credited on Old Dogs. Now I'm starting to question everything on the internet... sorry to nitpick. Just trying to keep up.
	2:54pm Fuzzy: Shel knew his weed.
	2:54pm Michael 98145: thanks again, UM ♫
	2:54pm hyde: cool show today, glad i could catch it live. thanks UM!
	2:55pm annie: yeah, a real treat!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: I appreciate the correction, nostranger.
	2:55pm Roberto: Thanks for the flashbacks, UM :)
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone!
	2:56pm Roberto: Oops so much for uncensored. I guess that version doesn't exist.
	2:56pm Dean: It just occurred to me that Silverstein and Carlin shared an affection for enumerations rattled off like poetry.
	2:57pm Roberto: Nooo the best part got cut off!
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: well alrighty then. enjoyable and educational program today UM hey don't forget to tell everyone you won't be here next week, and that Bill Mac is filling in. Thanks! tchau
	🛒 2:58pm nostrangerer: It's been a mellow time. Great flow in the show!!!
	3:00pm annie: you gonna be here next week, UM?
	🛒 5:19pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Uncle Michael, a billion thank yous for this marvelous tribute to one of my favorite inkslingers of all time—Uncle Shelby! What an astounding collection of recordings. What an enjoyable three hours of aural treasures. What a tremendous accomplishment for you, too. YAY! Thank you! xoxox Granny

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from April 19, 2019

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.

Listener comments!
	🛒 10:28am Granny Spicy Tuna: A preliminary comment: i am SOo)o0OOO00o))))oooo sad i cannot listen to this tribute live. I'm gonna hold my breath and have a tantrum and NOT take the grabage out and i am being eaten by a boa constric…
	12:01pm chresti: Heya Dinks! Waaaah, Granny's tied up!
	12:02pm ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ): ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
	12:02pm Paul from Toronto: Happy Friday, Uncle Michael. Happy Friday, fellow Dinks!
	12:03pm Asheville Jon: Hindy Dinky Ding Dang! YAY, it's Friday!! Hi Uncle Michael!
	12:03pm coelacanth∅: Greetlings Unca M and Dinklings
	12:03pm Roberto: Dave le Spazze played the song behind this loop last night. Impeach the President!
	12:04pm Asheville Jon: oy, my speeling is a bite oughh todaey
	12:05pm dan: Hi everyone.
	12:05pm coelacanth∅: do you ever get tired of moving so frequently?
	12:05pm Asheville Jon: wow, not much to say about Jamestown.
	12:06pm dan: Well what is it, a lifetime or just a day?
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: GST! chresti! Paul! Jon! Coel! Roberto! dan!
	12:09pm hyde: hello!
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: hyde!
	12:11pm hyde: sorry i'm late, i was in an argument about whether or not you can catch Asian carp with bait rigs (you CAN)
	12:11pm Asheville Jon: sweet Emmylou choice
	12:11pm Dean: Piedmont:meat pond::dead letter:bedwetter Had to get that off my chest.
	🛒 12:12pm Franco Twinkie: Hyde, Asian carp are the fish that are clogging up drains and smell bad?
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	12:13pm βrian: Baited breath is the worst.
	12:13pm dan: I'm gonna make a prediction that Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue" is going to be the closer.
	12:14pm Roberto: Will we be hearing Dr. Demento program perennial favorite "The Smoke-off?"
	12:15pm hyde: @Franco they're an introduced species here (so are European carp too actually, but they've been here so long everyone's forgotten) and they don't really smell bad they just have a negative effect on American game fish. In Asia people fish for them & they're a (bony) delicacy.
	12:15pm Lane Gray: Good choice of EmmyLou for this one.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Franco! Brian! Lane!
	12:16pm Rich in Washington: Hello, Uncle Michael! Howdy, everyone!
	12:16pm dan: I figure if you play Emmylou Harris, the next song would be Nanci Griffith. The two go hand in hand.
	🛒 12:17pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning!
	12:17pm Rich in Washington: For some reason, I found The Smoke-Off profoundly disturbing as a young child.
	🛒 12:17pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, I must be confusing it with some other problem fish that I read about.
	12:18pm melinda: hi everyone!
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Lizzie!
	12:18pm Roberto: I loved The Smoke-off. Especially the part where Pearl screams, "Man I didn't come here to f around, I came here to smoke!"
	🛒 12:19pm Franco Twinkie: Melinda! You okay now?
	12:19pm dan: The Giving Tree is a child's first tearjerker story.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: melinda!
	12:19pm βrian: The Muskellunge is your spirit animal, right melinda?
	12:21pm hyde: @Franco it's probably the same. carp get terrible press in the States.
	12:21pm doctorjazz: Hi all! Pretty set!
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:24pm Daddy-o Dilly: As a Nielson family this week, I have the frightfully important task of writing down in their booklet every radio broadcast we listen to for seven days. Yes, internet streaming and podcasts count as much as FM & AM radio. Neilson's method of collecting listener data with little booklets one writes in is the same as it was in the 1960s. Several WFMU programs will be included in my listening log. Very happy to include Hinky Dinky Time, Uncle Michael!l! Isn't the ability to simply HEAR a wonderful thing and not to be taken for granted.
	12:26pm Rich in Washington: Eugene!
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: Mark! Thank you for proving my existence!
	12:26pm hyde: i love this song.
	12:29pm melinda: @Franco tooth still has stealth fracture, eating mushy foods only. The endodontist is in Belize so I can't get it fixed until next Thursday. But my keyboard got fixed today so I'm feeling a bit chipper, at least for a while.
	12:29pm doctorjazz: What Hyde said.
	12:29pm Jeff Golick: Gotta quit my carping. Hi there.
	12:30pm Lane Gray: The Chadbourne made me think of "Atonal Music (like grandpa used to play) by Alison Brown youtu.be...
	12:32pm Dean: Encore!
	🛒 12:32pm Franco Twinkie: Melinda, Sorry to hear that. I guess that means Easter candy is out of the picture this year. Scalloped potatoes?
	12:36pm melinda: Pureed potatoes.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	🛒 12:40pm nostrangerer: How quaint. A special feature because the music is special instead of because something special happened. Very refreshing.
	🛒 12:40pm Franco Twinkie: David Steinberg had a second act as a director of Television commercials. I worked on something for him in that context and he was so NOT FUNNY as a boss.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: stranger!
	12:42pm Lane Gray: Steinberg gave me a vibe that he'd probably NOT be pleasant I love this Prine version
	🛒 12:42pm Franco Twinkie: Lane, yup.
	12:43pm annie: oops.. sorry to be late, a neighbor popped in, borrowing my CD collection...sorry to hear about your toothiness issue,melinda! imo, ANY john prine is good; Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings was a great album!
	🛒 12:43pm nostrangerer: @franco I totally understand expect and believe that about Steinberg.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: annie!
	12:44pm dan: Whenever I hear Marianne Faithfull's version of Lucy Jordan, I think of the weird early 80s Scandinavian film "Montenegro" with Susan Anspach. Weirdass film.
	12:45pm Lane Gray: Annie, I have and love the Prine/Mac Wiseman CD (RIP Mac. But he had a good innings )
	12:47pm Lane Gray: I was SUPPOSED to go to sleep an hour ago. Radio too interesting.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Sorry, Lane.
	12:47pm Asheville Jon: R E K !!!!
	12:48pm Tome: this feel just right now <> let this long weekend [ for most or yous I hope ]not end ...
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: two young believers on a three dollar spree
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Tome!
	🛒 12:49pm Franco Twinkie: Lane, do you work graveyard or are you in some alternate time zone?
	12:49pm Tome: I was hearing Gordon Lightfoot for a minute ,, dis lex ix me yes great stuff Uncle M <!>
	12:50pm melinda: I like Robert Earl Keen, saw him open for Jimmie Dale Gilmore in the late 80s. He had a funny story about writing a song with Lyle Lovett and then remaining in obscurity while Lyle rocketed to stardom.
	12:55pm Dean: I wanna hear Elmer Fudd sing Lullabys, Legends & Lies.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: You're a bad person, Dean.
	12:55pm Dean: ...followed by Little Feat's Willin'.
	12:57pm Dean: Me and Michael Jackson.
	12:57pm dan: @Dean I want to hear Elmer Fudd sing Little Feat's "Oh Atwanta"
	12:58pm Dean: Witto Feat, featowing Wowuh George
	🛒 12:59pm Franco Twinkie: How about Fudd doing Twipe Face Boogie?
	12:59pm βrian: This is just a bit too much fun.
	1:00pm dan: Shel Silverstein sounded a bit like Sterling "Winnie The Pooh" Holloway with that reading.
	1:00pm annie: i favorited this episode..
	1:01pm Lane Gray: I run team with Mrs Gray and she prefers driving daytime.
	1:01pm Roberto: Yeah, I've been meaning to point out for years that the auto cross-fade is a bit too eager a lot of the time.
	1:02pm dan: Marilyn Manson is a no talent hack. He couldn't make Shel Silverstein sound intriguing.
	🛒 1:03pm Franco Twinkie: So Lane, Elmer Fudd doing Willin' and Truck Stop Girl might be right up your ally?
	1:07pm The Oscar: Afternoon! Discovering "Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book" was definitely an eye-opener in high school. I'm just gonna go ahead and preemptively clickystar this episode right now.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	1:07pm βrian: "So sue me."
	1:07pm Lane Gray: I LOVE this in Lester's voice
	1:09pm northguineahills: B even w/o power for 80 mins. Nice strong storm!
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: NGH! After Marie Laveau you're all gonna wanna go listen to Bryce for 3:13.
	1:14pm melinda: haha
	1:15pm The Oscar: Is this the earliest known GBV side project?
	1:15pm annie: jeebus, UM, there was no Tissue-alert for this song!
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Absolutely.
	1:21pm hyde: Kris Kristofferson is playing in my town tonite. I probably should have gotten tickets.
	1:23pm hyde: wow, i just looked at the theater website. there are a LOT of tickets left.
	1:24pm Asheville Jon: i saw KK in a cheesy country bar in Albuquerque many moons ago
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: I saw Kris open for the Everly Brothers once.
	1:25pm dan: @hyde People like KK don't have the audience they once had.
	1:26pm βrian: John Prine is playing in town next month. $73.50 - $103.50. I guess I'll be staying home.
	1:26pm Michael 98145: i found this ole fountain pen sitting in the gutter, so i'm writing this thank you note
	1:26pm hyde: @dean especially around here. Massachusetts is not really classic country music territory.
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: Michael!
	1:27pm dan: @Brian You can thank iTunes for jacked up ticket prices.
	1:29pm melinda: I saw Kris in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
	1:32pm Lane Gray: I was so busy noticing The Taker was "not Waylon" that I didn't notice it was Marty.
	1:32pm annie: @ βrian: sad state of affairs it is.... the venues win and the people, the true fans,lose out because ... $$$$.. even boycotting the event makes no impact
	1:36pm Michael 98145: { should've played this during the marathon :) }
	1:36pm coelacanth: i thought you'd play "sylvia's mother"
	1:36pm annie: "Cover of the Rollin' Stone"... still great!
	1:36pm dan: Elton John has two ladies? That's a laugh.
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: there we go!
	1:39pm annie: this song hits close to home... still love it!
	1:40pm Lane Gray: What a cool version
	1:41pm coelacanth∅: i like this better than the dr.hook version (though i barely remember it)
	1:42pm Michael 98145: groovy
	1:43pm coelacanth∅: - song adjusted for inflation
	1:43pm steveL: No idea Sylvia’s Mother was a strong reggae cover track. The more you know!
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Steve!
	1:45pm coelacanth∅: haha! goddamn it. empty calories.
	1:46pm Lane Gray: I usually hear "It's Plastic" from the Fraser Hayes Four (it shows up on reruns of British comedies I listen to)
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: holy shit! i didn't know Shel Silverstein wrote this!
	1:50pm dan: The Irish Rovers were actually Irish emigrants in Canada.
	1:50pm Lane Gray: I watched Sandy Toxvig unload on mermaids. They're always shown with piscene scales and cetacean tails (they're at right angles to each other). She is a wonderful replacement for Stephen Fry on QI
	🛒 1:52pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, this fucking song!
	1:54pm coelacanth∅: they sure waste a lot of food
	🛒 1:54pm Franco Twinkie: Perfect! Now I can go shopping for Easter dinner. Thanks Michael!
	1:54pm melinda: I thought this sounded like Sheila B
	1:55pm Fuzzy: Reminds me of Blondie's Rapture.
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: Franco take out the garbage before you go!
	1:55pm Roberto: YASS Quaaaludes Again!
	🛒 1:57pm Franco Twinkie: Qaaludes, jelly beans, Jordan almonds and chocolate eggs.
	1:57pm The Oscar: This is my favorite poem from Where the Sidewalk Ends.
	1:58pm Roberto: I hadn't heard that in maybe 35 years. Damn that's good.
	2:00pm hyde: i had sort of forgotten about Flying Fish Records
	2:00pm Michael 98145: Yup. The kids have moved on from Quaaludes ..
	2:01pm dan: The kids version of "Quaaludes Again" should be cough syrup.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: I like Buck pretending C&W artists aren't into pills.
	🛒 2:05pm Franco Twinkie: Or at least the Bakersfield Herald Dispatch.
	2:06pm The Oscar: Chalk another one up to "I never knew this was Shel!"
	2:07pm hyde: yeah, i didnt know this one was him either
	2:07pm melinda: @Oscar right!?
	🛒 2:08pm nostrangerer: @Lane. LOL over anatomically incorrect mermaids...
	2:10pm Pedro in Arlington: Saw Buck at his club in Bakersfield in '96. He told this joke, which isn't funny but it tells you Buck's politics even back then. "I saw Bill Clinton in front of the White House with two dogs. He said 'I got them for Hillary.' I said 'that sounds like a pretty good trade.'" Brilliant musician and businessman anyway.
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: Pedro!
	2:14pm βrian: Cetacean tales? Fleep can comment, surely.
	🛒 2:17pm nostrangerer: Why you credit Ray Price on the Old Dogs cut?
	2:17pm Ike: Hi all!
	2:18pm hyde: i love this whole record so much
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: Ike! Because that was Ray singing?
	2:20pm annie: i love this song so much!!!
	2:26pm ɨkɛ: Woah, I totally forgot Shel Silverstein put out actual records instead of just writing songs.
	2:29pm melinda: Great show UM, gotta split early!
	2:32pm Listening Out There: @ike: Shel Silverstein also wrote children's books, like the classic Where the Sidewalk Ends. Talented guy...
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: see ya, melinda! good luck with the tooth.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: L.O.T.!
	2:37pm ɨkɛ: @LOT, yep I grew up with the kind of depressing but totally awesome one that ends with the stump and the old man or something. Giving Tree, that's it! Now I remember!
	2:38pm dan: The Freaker's Ball today would be called the Democrat National Convention.
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Everything's better in Finnish.
	2:42pm Michael 98145: from Start to Finnish
	2:43pm annie: this has been such a great show today, UM!!!
	2:44pm Lane Gray: Very good show .
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, annie!

	2:46pm chresti: Thanks Uncle!
	2:48pm hyde: double shot of Tompall Glaser today!
	2:48pm dan: 20 years ago next month, Shel Silverstein passed away. This show is a measure of this man's genius. Thanks UM
	2:48pm Dean: "Paremmin" is "better" in Finnish.
	2:50pm Michael 98145: happy Ēostre weekend, friends. don't the European neighbors also enjoy a holiday on monday ??
	2:51pm Dean: "Everything" is "kaikki" in Finnish.
	2:51pm Roberto: YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
	2:52pm Roberto: This may be the first time I've heard this uncensored (unredacted?).
	🛒 2:53pm nostrangerer: Ok, maybe the Ray Price version of Me & Jimmy Rogers is from the Twistable Turnable Man comp. Don't see Price credited on Old Dogs. Now I'm starting to question everything on the internet... sorry to nitpick. Just trying to keep up.
	2:54pm Fuzzy: Shel knew his weed.
	2:54pm Michael 98145: thanks again, UM ♫
	2:54pm hyde: cool show today, glad i could catch it live. thanks UM!
	2:55pm annie: yeah, a real treat!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: I appreciate the correction, nostranger.
	2:55pm Roberto: Thanks for the flashbacks, UM :)
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone!
	2:56pm Roberto: Oops so much for uncensored. I guess that version doesn't exist.
	2:56pm Dean: It just occurred to me that Silverstein and Carlin shared an affection for enumerations rattled off like poetry.
	2:57pm Roberto: Nooo the best part got cut off!
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: well alrighty then. enjoyable and educational program today UM hey don't forget to tell everyone you won't be here next week, and that Bill Mac is filling in. Thanks! tchau
