	10:04pm Franco Twinkie: Great! Bad vibes and chocolate ice cream for everybody.
	10:04pm Matt from New Orleans: Larry I lack nostalgia for this era. I could go on a rant but I’ll spare everyone.
	10:05pm chresti: Oh my and a boo hoo! Hey Larry trippers!
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: Franco! The vibes get better, I promise.
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: Chresti!
	10:09pm coelacanth∅: (uncle Frank and family..."Frankenfamily"!) ahem sorry
	10:12pm Erica1969: Nice story Larry. I wasn't alive in '69 but if I were, ooh what stuff I'd experience myself.
	10:12pm Webhamster Henry: 1969 -- the year 2525!
	10:12pm Funky16Corners: BTW The blonde kid on the left in the bottom picture is your's truly.
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: just gonna ask you
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: Webhamster Henry! Stay tuned...
	10:13pm cupcakejenny: Buenas noches
	10:13pm Webhamster Henry: BS&T's first record was better .
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: Good evening Mrs Grogan!
	10:14pm Webhamster Henry: That's my cranky teenaged option. I guess I'm more Al Koopery.
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: I'm a big David Clayton Thomas fan.
	10:14pm Erica1969: Sorry but I cannot hear this song without thinking of the Simpsons.
	10:14pm cupcakejenny: You sound like a student or you’re talking about your mom lol
	10:14pm Erica1969: Hi Jenny, aka Mrs. Larry Grogan.
	10:15pm Webhamster Henry: What's your Testify Typeface?
	10:15pm Little Danny: Hey Larry 'n' all. Stoked to be listening live tonight
	10:15pm cupcakejenny: That’s better. Hi Erika
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: It's called Square Meal
	10:15pm cupcakejenny: Oops Erica
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	10:16pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks! It's fun lookin'
	10:16pm Matt from New Orleans: No show tonight Danny?
	10:17pm Little Danny: @Matt: Nope! I'm stuck at home packaging up a buncha records for mailout
	10:18pm Erica1969: Well enjoy the show then Danny.
	10:18pm Franco Twinkie: Another Joe Brainard book worth investigating is The Nancy Book. I, like Joe suffered with an obsession with the Ernie Bushmiller comic characters Nancy and Sluggo. Joe, however bested me by collecting all his bizarre interpretations into a fantastic collection.
	10:19pm Parq: I'm doing my best to see all this through Larry's eyes, but I am drowning in my own memories of my own 1969.
	10:19pm Matt from New Orleans: Do you like the new Nancy, Franco?
	10:20pm Funky16Corners: Hey Parq!
	10:20pm cupcakejenny: Ooo this is making me misty.
	10:20pm Funky16Corners: I like Brainard's Nancy art ( I like Nancy and Sluggo, too)
	10:20pm Erica1969: Speaking of 1969, Rhino records put out a box set of Woodstock albums. I think on vinyl and CD. Not sure about digital mp3s though.
	10:20pm Parq: In fairness, I'm sure that everyone here is -- well, everyone over, say, 54.
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: @Jenny - Me too...
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: yeah 1969 was a huge year well one of the huge years for me ...realisations
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: It was like a huge axis was turning, no matter how old you were, you felt it in some way
	10:21pm Matt from New Orleans: I wasn’t even a zygote
	10:21pm Little Danny: @Erica: I am!!
	10:22pm cupcakejenny: A wasn’t born yet. Larry’s a cradle robber lol
	🥁 10:23pm nostrangerer: Let the vibes fall wherever, good or bad. All part of what has past, etc. etc. etc.
	10:23pm Erica1969: Are we gonna hear the Archies on this show too? Haha!
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: all the violence on tv and the beginning of pubic hair in my father's magazines! and the realisation that most of the other kids were ...jerks...who didn't know and didn't care
	10:24pm Funky16Corners: Hey Nostrangerer!
	10:24pm Parq: I was in camp in the summer of '69. I remember hearing about both the moon launch and Woodstock on a transistor radio (mine, although by then it had been taken over by everyone) in a cabin in the pines.
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: this was my older brother's favorite song from the hair soundtrack
	10:24pm Franco Twinkie: I am a Nancy purist Matt. Even the John Stanley riffs left me cold. It's Bushmillers minimalism that has always held me captive.
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: @C - That's one of the reasons I opened the show with the Stooges. They were indicative of a bad vibe running through the country. Great music, but the antithesis of flower power
	10:26pm Erica1969: In my opinion Good Morning Starshine was a better Oliver song than Jean.
	10:26pm Funky16Corners: I agree. I also love his version of Sunday Morning
	10:26pm coelacanth∅: whew yeah. first the white album then my brother got let it bleed. big events in my 8-year-old baby self
	10:28pm Webhamster Henry: There it is .. this was inescapable in the summer of 1969.
	10:28pm Erica1969: Speaking of the Archies, every time I hear "Sugar Sugar", I think of Homer Simpson dancing with lollipops and ice cream lol.
	10:28pm Funky16Corners: The one-hittiest of all one hit wonders
	10:28pm Webhamster Henry: @Parq I was also at camp for these events!
	10:29pm northguineahills: I went to go leave my cacti collection at my friend's place, and there was a klezmer/Balkan band practicing. They kicked ass!
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: There's a great episode of Futurama that uses this song
	10:29pm TheNewLexGofer: Good evening all from sleepy New Lex!
	10:30pm Webhamster Henry: Oh here's how to end the show, Larry: www.echonyc.com...
	10:30pm northguineahills: I know that episode, Larry!
	10:30pm Webhamster Henry: I recorded it New Year's Eve, 1969-1970
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: Hey New Lex!
	10:31pm Franco Twinkie: I mentioned this on another show this week, but what the hell. Crystal blue Persuasion was the song that illustrated all the cholos in my junior high school getting into a more hippyish frame of mind. My junior high was soaked in drugs.
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: Henry - I can't launch it from my broadcast computer. What is it? I'll have to listen after the show.
	10:31pm chresti: My brother had this one, I turned 12 in 69
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - It was a de facto soul record, covered by both the Kelly Brothers and Joe Bataan
	10:33pm northguineahills: @franco: my wife hates the cholo stereotype (well, most Mexi-American stereotypes....
	10:34pm chresti: @CSN and Y
	10:34pm Webhamster Henry: It's a recording of 1969 turning into 1970 over the radio, with the #1 one song of 1969: Honky Tonk Woman (which I actually think was Sugar Sugar, but they were too embarassed to play it)
	10:34pm Franco Twinkie: This was under the Christmas tree in 1969.
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: @Henry - Can I save it for future reference?
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: my brother got cs&n but only after deja vu, which came after the woodstock st in his world. it was big in our house though because both my younger sister loved it and my mother approved of it. a moment of harmony in the house when that played. (pun intended)
	10:36pm Erica1969: I don't blame the radio for not playing Sugar Sugar. It IS embarrassing bubblegum music.
	10:36pm Carmichael: Thanks for the filthy hippie music.
	10:36pm Funky16Corners: It's a great pop song!
	10:36pm Funky16Corners: Hey Carmichael! It don't get no filthier!
	10:37pm coelacanth∅: when honky tonk woman came on wabc during summer vacation, which was about once/hour, i had to pretend to have to go to the bathroom and run upstairs to another radio to listen to it, because my family always turned it off for that song.
	10:37pm Webhamster Henry: Sure! That's what it's for! Also: 1970 is the beginning of the UNIX epoch (although this is not Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT)
	10:38pm cupcakejenny: Here’s a question - as an only child, how many of you think having an older sibling or cousin began your love of music or started you down the road?
	10:39pm Carmichael: My gosh, with the exception of Zager and Evans, I have seen all of these folks live. Because I am old.
	10:39pm chresti: This is the first time I heard these songs through earbuds
	10:39pm Carmichael: I just saw Tommy James last year. Tremendous show.
	10:40pm Erica1969: Tommy James, I found out has a radio show on the 60s on 6 on Sirius XM.
	10:41pm northguineahills: @cupcakejenny: I was the oldest, and my younger brothers are the exact opposite of me, and don't listen to music. It took until I was 16 until I found music in the 90s.
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: @Jenny - That's a great question. As the oldest, I had to go outside the immediate family, though my Pop had a huge influence on me outside of the pop/rock world
	10:42pm coelacanth∅: Jenny my parents, in a strange act of hipness, turned me/us on to music by the time i was 3-4; but my brother and (a little) my older sister propelled me. my friends had no idea what i was talking about most of the time, when it came to music.
	10:43pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Tommy James' show on Sirius 60s is GREAT! He plays a lot of cool music
	10:43pm cupcakejenny: @northguineahills I always felt I missed out on that though I had friends with older siblings that influenced the group a bit.
	10:43pm Webhamster Henry: @cupcakejenny I was kind of a Broadway baby,( Saw Fiorello for my 4th birthday) but my big sister would buy pop music.
	10:44pm Erica1969: I don't have Sirius XM, sadly. I just know he does from his Twitter account.
	10:44pm coelacanth∅: i've met many "only children" who've said they didn't listen to music until they were 12, 13, 15, 16...
	10:44pm Funky16Corners: @Henry - I remember listening to my father's Fiorello cast album!
	10:45pm cupcakejenny: Larry knows my parents were no influence. Though my dad read all the time when I was a kid. I think I got that bug more than music because of that.
	10:45pm Franco Twinkie: Two memories from 1969 in sitting on our front lawn with my sister and her best friend with a transistor radio on that day in August and hearing the first confused and hysterical reports about Manson on KRLA. The other one was sitting on a lawn down the street with these guys who had a '58 Chevey panel truck with a FOUR track tape player and listening to We're Only In It For The Money and Axis Bold as Love endlessly. I think it was the only two tapes they had.
	10:46pm TheNewLexGofer: @cupcakejenny: I'm an only, too. We moved to Ohio in '69 and my cousin weaned me off Herman's Hermits and got me listening to Steppenwolf and the Doors.
	10:48pm Carmichael: I’m fifth of six. My older siblings turned me onto folk music.
	10:48pm cupcakejenny: @coelacanth yes! Though something must have happened the summer I was 5/6 that cemented those songs in my head like this for Larry. Whenever I hear a song that I remember loving as s kid, it’s from 1976.
	10:48pm Funky16Corners: @Franco -If you're only going to own two tapes, those two are pretty cool
	10:49pm Carmichael: They took me to a hootenanny.
	10:49pm cupcakejenny: <- only child and oldest cousin. There was no hope for me!
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: my friend Jimmy had an older sister who seemed very hip (he and the sister were pretty much the exact models for the main character and sister in that tv show the wonder years) and i secretly had a crush on this older girl. somehow Jimmy wasn't influenced much toward coolness by his hip sister!
	10:50pm TheNewLexGofer: Four track tapes. Brand name Playtape, I had Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction," among others.
	10:51pm Erica1969: I dig the background music in the Journey to the Moon album.
	10:52pm northguineahills: I had a friend who had an older sister that did Styx's "Domo Arigato, Mr Roboto". It made a huge impression on me, but they got trouble in school, and couldn't compete..... My parents met in 1969, I was born 7 years later....
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - That's a Philly studio group that included a young Daryl Hall on keyboards
	10:53pm Little Danny: Whoa, this Baker Street Philharmonic is great
	10:54pm Funky16Corners: Mike Vickers of Manfred Mann, side project
	10:54pm Carmichael: My eldest sister used to iron her hair.
	10:55pm Erica1969: @ngh Don't you hate that when something current gets you in trouble in school? Whether it be music, fashion, fads or merchandise from a TV show or movie? I'd tell you about CatDog but I'll save it for another night.
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: we all got small transistor radios in our stockings one xmas. sat in a tree listening till the batteries died. walked around with it hoping the older kids (the much older ones the ones with cars) would see me/hear it...
	10:56pm Carmichael: Larry, I know Mike D’Abo’s daughter. She’s pretty smart and level headed.
	10:56pm Funky16Corners: BTW The next song may seem weird in this context but I'll explain it during the break
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: (ruining it on the beach...)
	10:56pm Funky16Corners: @Carmichael - The actress or another one?
	10:56pm Carmichael: Sorry, Vic Briggs’ daughter.
	10:57pm Funky16Corners: Ah...
	10:57pm Franco Twinkie: This is how hopeless the adolescent mind is: Somehow I got it in my head that '45's weren't cool any more. I only wanted albums. But, one single I could not resist was I Got A Line On You by Spirit. To Paraphrase Larry: If you're only gonna buy one '45...
	10:57pm Carmichael: I get those 69s singers confused.
	10:58pm doctorjazz: Hello!
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - a HUGE record for me.
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	10:59pm Carmichael: Spirit was a wonderful band.
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: I might as well tell you now, the Apollo 11 astronauts listened to this song on the trip to an from the moon.
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: I believe it was requested specifically by Buzz Aldrin
	11:00pm northguineahills: @Erica: Catdog the cartoon?!!! I loved that as a kid!
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: I loved Catdog! I had a rubber Catdog figurine on my desk at work for years.
	11:01pm cupcakejenny: That is an...interesting...choice of traveling music
	11:02pm Erica1969: Me too ngh. But I got in trouble as a kid for bringing a clock and calculator from Burger King at school and the teacher yelled at me for bad language when reciting a song from the Halloween episode.
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: Franco i decided very young, when i knew meet the beatles had only one crappy song on it and the hermans hermits album was all good, the peter paul and mary and Harry Belafonte albums -etc that if a group is good the whole album will be good, and you get a lot more music for your money. i stuck with that idea for my life; but i did end up with 4-500 45s...mostly when i thought the album might not match the quality of the single.
	11:03pm Funky16Corners: @Jenny - Someone at NASA made them an actual mixtape for the trip. I have to look for the list of tracks.
	11:04pm Funky16Corners: I found another piece of music written and performed specifically for a broadcast of the moon landing, done by Duke Ellington for ABC but the fidelity was terrible.
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: damn, i want to see that mixtape selection!
	11:04pm Little Danny: Dang, wow, I had no idea this Pink Floyd experiment existed. So cool
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: www.forbes.com...
	11:05pm cupcakejenny: Remember seeing the gold space record at the air and space museum
	11:05pm Carmichael: My first 45 was Donovan Wear Your Love Like Heaven.
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: That's a link to an article about the mixtape.
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: they often played things live that evolved quite a bit before ever getting recorded in the studio
	11:06pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - those interjections earlier were a BBC broadcaster. I only found out about this a few weeks ago.
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: Carm -nice!
	11:07pm Funky16Corners: I can't imagine a positive/scientific story captivating the word today like the moon landing did in 1969
	11:07pm Funky16Corners: WORLD
	11:08pm Franco Twinkie: The guys with the panel truck showed me how to tape firecrckers to a '45, light them and throw the record as hard as you could. Twenty second of pleasure for a lifetime of regret.
	11:08pm TheNewLexGofer: Nor can I.
	11:08pm coelacanth∅: are you kidding?! did you hear what Rhianna said?!
	🥁 11:09pm nostrangerer: Thank you for including John Stewart. Have yet to get any digital copies of his music and my LPs have long been packed away in storage. 1969 is year I graduated from high school and by 70 I had left my parents house never to return. Memories. as Stimpy sings... check you in the archive, early start tomorrow.
	11:09pm northguineahills: @Erica: When I was in HS, there was a Burger King across the street. Since I aced every test, most teachers didn't care if I skiped. I was straight edge at the time, and one of my friends (who became the salutatorian), was an acid dealer (amongst other things). So I'd skip class w/ her, and give her clean urine, (definitely wouldn't work today).
	11:09pm coelacanth∅: (or, whomever)
	11:09pm Carmichael: It was a picture sleeve. I still have it.
	11:10pm coelacanth∅: Bowie's one my older sister got me into
	11:10pm Carmichael: Rhi ... who?
	11:10pm Erica1969: Lucky you ngh. My teacher was more strict that.
	11:11pm Funky16Corners: Nite Nostrangerere!
	11:11pm Erica1969: I knew that Bowie song would be on the show.
	11:11pm Carmichael: Flight of the Conchords does a great parody called Bowies in Space. Smart, talented stuff.
	11:12pm cupcakejenny: That’s crazy. I only had one earbud in and I was about to ask what weird version this is. The vocals are split up.
	11:12pm coelacanth∅: my first 45 was 10cents at my friend's yard sale. yesterday b/w act naturally. boy that one took a beating.
	11:12pm Funky16Corners: @Carmichael - Have you ever seen the Rick and Morty episode with Jemaine Clement as the gaseous alien? He sings a Bowie parody in the episode,
	11:12pm cupcakejenny: We love flight of the concords
	11:14pm Parq: What really happened with Major Tom: www.newyorker.com...
	11:15pm Carmichael: I have not, but that’s soon to be remedied.
	11:17pm Parq: "In no event should protein-pill consumption delay the far more critical putting on of the helmet."
	11:19pm northguineahills: @Larry: I remember that episode of Rick and Morty. Genius!
	11:20pm Erica1969: Ooh the Woodstock portion of the show.
	11:21pm Carmichael: Laurel Canyon filthy hippies.
	11:22pm Funky16Corners: Plains of western Canada hippies...
	11:22pm Carmichael: I’m channeling Fabio.
	11:23pm Franco Twinkie: To me, Santana doing Soul Sacrifice is the best song song In Woodstock. Good image choice, Larry.
	11:23pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - Then hang in there!
	11:24pm Little Danny: I usta think so too Franco but now I'm partial to the CSN&Y and Jefferson Airplane sequences
	11:24pm Carmichael: Ten Years After.
	11:25pm Franco Twinkie: Those are good too, Danny.
	11:27pm Erica1969: Groovy crowd, man! I also forgot to mention that 1969 was also the year of Scooby Doo Where Are You? Zoinks!
	11:28pm TheNewLexGofer: Alvin Lee, luggin' the watermelon...
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: Hendrix's "villanova junction" (originally called "improvisation" if i remember correctly) is sublime, and never recorded before or since, as far as i know.
	11:29pm Funky16Corners: @Nextlexgofer - That is one of my favorite moments at the end of the set and te melon rolls out on stage.
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: BTW Music Lover, which doesn't appear anywhere outside of a medley is my fave Sly tune
	11:30pm greatb: anyone springing for the 38-disc anniversary box set?
	11:31pm Franco Twinkie: The movie and the record album came out the summer before my first year of high school. They would set up a P.A. in the quad and blast the record during lunch. One memory is this one particular stoner who would mimic Alvin Lee doing Going Home while totally out of this mind on reds.
	11:31pm coelacanth∅: actually the 2 John Sebastion songs are both favorite moments on that album. no other versions recorded of those songs are even worth hearing, in my opinion.
	11:32pm Erica1969: That's what I was talking about earlier greatb. I don't have the money to buy it but it's cool to know it's being released.
	11:32pm Little Danny: @franco: amazing!
	11:32pm Funky16Corners: I'd like to hear the sets that didn't make it into the movie, Bert Sommer, Incredible String Band etc
	11:33pm coelacanth∅: creedence
	11:33pm Funky16Corners: The way Sly and the band absolutely explode in this set is amazing.
	11:33pm coelacanth∅: (those tapes may have been destroyed, by orders of John Fogerty)
	11:33pm Franco Twinkie: Yes! CCR!!!
	11:33pm Funky16Corners: And it was the middle of the night!
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: this portion of this album blew my doors open at the time
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: but the whole album did
	11:37pm Funky16Corners: It really is something that along with the monumental significance of the event, the music was often as amazing. So many great performances.
	11:37pm cupcakejenny: Today is our younger son’s birthday. I remember when Larry would get up with the older one in the night to feed him he’d put on the Woodstock dvd right Larry?
	11:38pm northguineahills: I guess I should see the movie and listen to the album.... (I always thought it was overhyped). This Sly kills!
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: @Jenny - It was either that or Monterey Pop
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - Look for the director's cut of Woodstock. It's a fun movie to watch, to soak up the hippy-osity along with the music
	11:39pm cupcakejenny: Oh yeah maybe
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: Now this, right here, this will kick your ass.
	11:41pm rw: Evening! Ready for an ass kicking.
	11:41pm Franco Twinkie: NGH. we had this weird thing going on where these white girl cholas would do a 180 over summer and come back to school super hippies .
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: Hey rw!
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: Michale Shrieve is OUT OF CONTROL on this number
	11:43pm Erica1969: Speaking of A$$ kicking, that organ is on FIAH!
	11:44pm Franco Twinkie: Everyone in my school loved Santanta. Cholos, stoners, soul brothers, surfers, jocks...everybody!
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: to be honest -and not that i wouldn't like to hear a less edited version -i think they did a damn good job with the original edit, to fit an overview onto 3 records. to this day very little of it is not still amazing to me. side 2 is mostly lackluster. that's it. the rest phenominal.
	11:44pm TheNewLexGofer: Kicks mine every time I hear it!
	11:45pm coelacanth∅: hey rw!
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: I got to see Santana on their 10th anniversary tour in 1979. They were still amazing.
	11:46pm northguineahills: @franco: I went from looking like a straight-edge/Christian lad (at least to sell it to my parents) one summer to being an indie rocker my junior year of high school. That's when I found music, and took up extra jobs to buy records. The rest lays in the pain of my muscles after moving my records. At least my wife slapped some sense into me to stop going to record stores years ago...
	11:46pm rw: coel!
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: Also Jose Chepito Areas and Michael Carabello on Latin percussion!
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: played this (this version) on the pub jukebox a week ago and it did not fail
	11:48pm rw: I've often wondered how everybody grew their hair so long over the course of a summer.
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: Gregg Rolie on organ, David Brown on bass and Carlos on guitar
	11:49pm doctorjazz: Haven't heard this Santana in a long time...mannnnn.....
	11:50pm rw: F16C, is that you at the bottom of the playlist?
	11:50pm coelacanth∅: my brother and i begged my parents to let us abandon the crew cuts for a few years before they relented. then we had to get a ahircut before every schoolyear began...but every year it got longer. i looked quite like a girl in 6th grade.
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: @rw - On the left, the transparent blonde child
	11:52pm coelacanth∅: (ahircut = haircut!)
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: Santana, The Dead, Airplane at The Family Dog is a dvd worth looking for. If only for the close up of Michael Shrieve doing that shit.
	11:53pm TheNewLexGofer: President of the Hell's Angels.
	11:54pm Funky16Corners: Not no peace creep...No kidding.
	11:55pm cupcakejenny: Lol
	11:55pm TheNewLexGofer: Flower power died at Altamont. Childhood's end.
	11:56pm Erica1969: And then the 70s began.
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Look at the first and last tracks of the show tonight. The dark underpinning of the end of the 60s.
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: When I was junior high the "It" girl held court one afternoon telling all the guys that she had just came home from Altamont. Chresti and I will drive by the site on Friday on our way to SF.
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Is it still a race track?
	11:58pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, but it looks different now.
	11:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	12:00am TheNewLexGofer: Killer stuff tonight Larry; thanks so much.

	12:05am Funky16Corners: Hey, it's August! It was July when I started the show!
	12:06am Funky16Corners: Thanks Franco!

	10:00pm Matt from New Orleans: Hey Larry et al
	10:00pm Funky16Corners: Hey Matt!
	10:01pm Erica1969: Hi groovy people. Today my username is Erica1969, in honor of this show.
	10:02pm Erica1969: This week's episode I mean. Next week it will be just Erica.
	10:02pm Funky16Corners: Erica!
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: hey Larry and 69ers
	10:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	10:04pm Erica1969: 1969: The year of Woodstock, Neil Armstrong, The Brady Bunch and Sesame Street.
	10:04pm Franco Twinkie: Great! Bad vibes and chocolate ice cream for everybody.
	10:04pm Matt from New Orleans: Larry I lack nostalgia for this era. I could go on a rant but I’ll spare everyone.
	10:05pm chresti: Oh my and a boo hoo! Hey Larry trippers!
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: Franco! The vibes get better, I promise.
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: Chresti!
	10:09pm coelacanth∅: (uncle Frank and family..."Frankenfamily"!) ahem sorry
	10:12pm Erica1969: Nice story Larry. I wasn't alive in '69 but if I were, ooh what stuff I'd experience myself.
	10:12pm Webhamster Henry: 1969 -- the year 2525!
	10:12pm Funky16Corners: BTW The blonde kid on the left in the bottom picture is your's truly.
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: just gonna ask you
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: Webhamster Henry! Stay tuned...
	10:13pm cupcakejenny: Buenas noches
	10:13pm Webhamster Henry: BS&T's first record was better .
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: Good evening Mrs Grogan!
	10:14pm Webhamster Henry: That's my cranky teenaged option. I guess I'm more Al Koopery.
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: I'm a big David Clayton Thomas fan.
	10:14pm Erica1969: Sorry but I cannot hear this song without thinking of the Simpsons.
	10:14pm cupcakejenny: You sound like a student or you’re talking about your mom lol
	10:14pm Erica1969: Hi Jenny, aka Mrs. Larry Grogan.
	10:15pm Webhamster Henry: What's your Testify Typeface?
	10:15pm Little Danny: Hey Larry 'n' all. Stoked to be listening live tonight
	10:15pm cupcakejenny: That’s better. Hi Erika
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: It's called Square Meal
	10:15pm cupcakejenny: Oops Erica
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	10:16pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks! It's fun lookin'
	10:16pm Matt from New Orleans: No show tonight Danny?
	10:17pm Little Danny: @Matt: Nope! I'm stuck at home packaging up a buncha records for mailout
	10:18pm Erica1969: Well enjoy the show then Danny.
	10:18pm Franco Twinkie: Another Joe Brainard book worth investigating is The Nancy Book. I, like Joe suffered with an obsession with the Ernie Bushmiller comic characters Nancy and Sluggo. Joe, however bested me by collecting all his bizarre interpretations into a fantastic collection.
	10:19pm Parq: I'm doing my best to see all this through Larry's eyes, but I am drowning in my own memories of my own 1969.
	10:19pm Matt from New Orleans: Do you like the new Nancy, Franco?
	10:20pm Funky16Corners: Hey Parq!
	10:20pm cupcakejenny: Ooo this is making me misty.
	10:20pm Funky16Corners: I like Brainard's Nancy art ( I like Nancy and Sluggo, too)
	10:20pm Erica1969: Speaking of 1969, Rhino records put out a box set of Woodstock albums. I think on vinyl and CD. Not sure about digital mp3s though.
	10:20pm Parq: In fairness, I'm sure that everyone here is -- well, everyone over, say, 54.
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: @Jenny - Me too...
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: yeah 1969 was a huge year well one of the huge years for me ...realisations
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: It was like a huge axis was turning, no matter how old you were, you felt it in some way
	10:21pm Matt from New Orleans: I wasn’t even a zygote
	10:21pm Little Danny: @Erica: I am!!
	10:22pm cupcakejenny: A wasn’t born yet. Larry’s a cradle robber lol
	🥁 10:23pm nostrangerer: Let the vibes fall wherever, good or bad. All part of what has past, etc. etc. etc.
	10:23pm Erica1969: Are we gonna hear the Archies on this show too? Haha!
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: all the violence on tv and the beginning of pubic hair in my father's magazines! and the realisation that most of the other kids were ...jerks...who didn't know and didn't care
	10:24pm Funky16Corners: Hey Nostrangerer!
	10:24pm Parq: I was in camp in the summer of '69. I remember hearing about both the moon launch and Woodstock on a transistor radio (mine, although by then it had been taken over by everyone) in a cabin in the pines.
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: this was my older brother's favorite song from the hair soundtrack
	10:24pm Franco Twinkie: I am a Nancy purist Matt. Even the John Stanley riffs left me cold. It's Bushmillers minimalism that has always held me captive.
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: @C - That's one of the reasons I opened the show with the Stooges. They were indicative of a bad vibe running through the country. Great music, but the antithesis of flower power
	10:26pm Erica1969: In my opinion Good Morning Starshine was a better Oliver song than Jean.
	10:26pm Funky16Corners: I agree. I also love his version of Sunday Morning
	10:26pm coelacanth∅: whew yeah. first the white album then my brother got let it bleed. big events in my 8-year-old baby self
	10:28pm Webhamster Henry: There it is .. this was inescapable in the summer of 1969.
	10:28pm Erica1969: Speaking of the Archies, every time I hear "Sugar Sugar", I think of Homer Simpson dancing with lollipops and ice cream lol.
	10:28pm Funky16Corners: The one-hittiest of all one hit wonders
	10:28pm Webhamster Henry: @Parq I was also at camp for these events!
	10:29pm northguineahills: I went to go leave my cacti collection at my friend's place, and there was a klezmer/Balkan band practicing. They kicked ass!
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: There's a great episode of Futurama that uses this song
	10:29pm TheNewLexGofer: Good evening all from sleepy New Lex!
	10:30pm Webhamster Henry: Oh here's how to end the show, Larry: www.echonyc.com...
	10:30pm northguineahills: I know that episode, Larry!
	10:30pm Webhamster Henry: I recorded it New Year's Eve, 1969-1970
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: Hey New Lex!
	10:31pm Franco Twinkie: I mentioned this on another show this week, but what the hell. Crystal blue Persuasion was the song that illustrated all the cholos in my junior high school getting into a more hippyish frame of mind. My junior high was soaked in drugs.
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: Henry - I can't launch it from my broadcast computer. What is it? I'll have to listen after the show.
	10:31pm chresti: My brother had this one, I turned 12 in 69
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - It was a de facto soul record, covered by both the Kelly Brothers and Joe Bataan
	10:33pm northguineahills: @franco: my wife hates the cholo stereotype (well, most Mexi-American stereotypes....
	10:34pm chresti: @CSN and Y
	10:34pm Webhamster Henry: It's a recording of 1969 turning into 1970 over the radio, with the #1 one song of 1969: Honky Tonk Woman (which I actually think was Sugar Sugar, but they were too embarassed to play it)
	10:34pm Franco Twinkie: This was under the Christmas tree in 1969.
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: @Henry - Can I save it for future reference?
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: my brother got cs&n but only after deja vu, which came after the woodstock st in his world. it was big in our house though because both my younger sister loved it and my mother approved of it. a moment of harmony in the house when that played. (pun intended)
	10:36pm Erica1969: I don't blame the radio for not playing Sugar Sugar. It IS embarrassing bubblegum music.
	10:36pm Carmichael: Thanks for the filthy hippie music.
	10:36pm Funky16Corners: It's a great pop song!
	10:36pm Funky16Corners: Hey Carmichael! It don't get no filthier!
	10:37pm coelacanth∅: when honky tonk woman came on wabc during summer vacation, which was about once/hour, i had to pretend to have to go to the bathroom and run upstairs to another radio to listen to it, because my family always turned it off for that song.
	10:37pm Webhamster Henry: Sure! That's what it's for! Also: 1970 is the beginning of the UNIX epoch (although this is not Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT)
	10:38pm cupcakejenny: Here’s a question - as an only child, how many of you think having an older sibling or cousin began your love of music or started you down the road?
	10:39pm Carmichael: My gosh, with the exception of Zager and Evans, I have seen all of these folks live. Because I am old.
	10:39pm chresti: This is the first time I heard these songs through earbuds
	10:39pm Carmichael: I just saw Tommy James last year. Tremendous show.
	10:40pm Erica1969: Tommy James, I found out has a radio show on the 60s on 6 on Sirius XM.
	10:41pm northguineahills: @cupcakejenny: I was the oldest, and my younger brothers are the exact opposite of me, and don't listen to music. It took until I was 16 until I found music in the 90s.
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: @Jenny - That's a great question. As the oldest, I had to go outside the immediate family, though my Pop had a huge influence on me outside of the pop/rock world
	10:42pm coelacanth∅: Jenny my parents, in a strange act of hipness, turned me/us on to music by the time i was 3-4; but my brother and (a little) my older sister propelled me. my friends had no idea what i was talking about most of the time, when it came to music.
	10:43pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Tommy James' show on Sirius 60s is GREAT! He plays a lot of cool music
	10:43pm cupcakejenny: @northguineahills I always felt I missed out on that though I had friends with older siblings that influenced the group a bit.
	10:43pm Webhamster Henry: @cupcakejenny I was kind of a Broadway baby,( Saw Fiorello for my 4th birthday) but my big sister would buy pop music.
	10:44pm Erica1969: I don't have Sirius XM, sadly. I just know he does from his Twitter account.
	10:44pm coelacanth∅: i've met many "only children" who've said they didn't listen to music until they were 12, 13, 15, 16...
	10:44pm Funky16Corners: @Henry - I remember listening to my father's Fiorello cast album!
	10:45pm cupcakejenny: Larry knows my parents were no influence. Though my dad read all the time when I was a kid. I think I got that bug more than music because of that.
	10:45pm Franco Twinkie: Two memories from 1969 in sitting on our front lawn with my sister and her best friend with a transistor radio on that day in August and hearing the first confused and hysterical reports about Manson on KRLA. The other one was sitting on a lawn down the street with these guys who had a '58 Chevey panel truck with a FOUR track tape player and listening to We're Only In It For The Money and Axis Bold as Love endlessly. I think it was the only two tapes they had.
	10:46pm TheNewLexGofer: @cupcakejenny: I'm an only, too. We moved to Ohio in '69 and my cousin weaned me off Herman's Hermits and got me listening to Steppenwolf and the Doors.
	10:48pm Carmichael: I’m fifth of six. My older siblings turned me onto folk music.
	10:48pm cupcakejenny: @coelacanth yes! Though something must have happened the summer I was 5/6 that cemented those songs in my head like this for Larry. Whenever I hear a song that I remember loving as s kid, it’s from 1976.
	10:48pm Funky16Corners: @Franco -If you're only going to own two tapes, those two are pretty cool
	10:49pm Carmichael: They took me to a hootenanny.
	10:49pm cupcakejenny: <- only child and oldest cousin. There was no hope for me!
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: my friend Jimmy had an older sister who seemed very hip (he and the sister were pretty much the exact models for the main character and sister in that tv show the wonder years) and i secretly had a crush on this older girl. somehow Jimmy wasn't influenced much toward coolness by his hip sister!
	10:50pm TheNewLexGofer: Four track tapes. Brand name Playtape, I had Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction," among others.
	10:51pm Erica1969: I dig the background music in the Journey to the Moon album.
	10:52pm northguineahills: I had a friend who had an older sister that did Styx's "Domo Arigato, Mr Roboto". It made a huge impression on me, but they got trouble in school, and couldn't compete..... My parents met in 1969, I was born 7 years later....
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - That's a Philly studio group that included a young Daryl Hall on keyboards
	10:53pm Little Danny: Whoa, this Baker Street Philharmonic is great
	10:54pm Funky16Corners: Mike Vickers of Manfred Mann, side project
	10:54pm Carmichael: My eldest sister used to iron her hair.
	10:55pm Erica1969: @ngh Don't you hate that when something current gets you in trouble in school? Whether it be music, fashion, fads or merchandise from a TV show or movie? I'd tell you about CatDog but I'll save it for another night.
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: we all got small transistor radios in our stockings one xmas. sat in a tree listening till the batteries died. walked around with it hoping the older kids (the much older ones the ones with cars) would see me/hear it...
	10:56pm Carmichael: Larry, I know Mike D’Abo’s daughter. She’s pretty smart and level headed.
	10:56pm Funky16Corners: BTW The next song may seem weird in this context but I'll explain it during the break
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: (ruining it on the beach...)
	10:56pm Funky16Corners: @Carmichael - The actress or another one?
	10:56pm Carmichael: Sorry, Vic Briggs’ daughter.
	10:57pm Funky16Corners: Ah...
	10:57pm Franco Twinkie: This is how hopeless the adolescent mind is: Somehow I got it in my head that '45's weren't cool any more. I only wanted albums. But, one single I could not resist was I Got A Line On You by Spirit. To Paraphrase Larry: If you're only gonna buy one '45...
	10:57pm Carmichael: I get those 69s singers confused.
	10:58pm doctorjazz: Hello!
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - a HUGE record for me.
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	10:59pm Carmichael: Spirit was a wonderful band.
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: I might as well tell you now, the Apollo 11 astronauts listened to this song on the trip to an from the moon.
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: I believe it was requested specifically by Buzz Aldrin
	11:00pm northguineahills: @Erica: Catdog the cartoon?!!! I loved that as a kid!
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: I loved Catdog! I had a rubber Catdog figurine on my desk at work for years.
	11:01pm cupcakejenny: That is an...interesting...choice of traveling music
	11:02pm Erica1969: Me too ngh. But I got in trouble as a kid for bringing a clock and calculator from Burger King at school and the teacher yelled at me for bad language when reciting a song from the Halloween episode.
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: Franco i decided very young, when i knew meet the beatles had only one crappy song on it and the hermans hermits album was all good, the peter paul and mary and Harry Belafonte albums -etc that if a group is good the whole album will be good, and you get a lot more music for your money. i stuck with that idea for my life; but i did end up with 4-500 45s...mostly when i thought the album might not match the quality of the single.
	11:03pm Funky16Corners: @Jenny - Someone at NASA made them an actual mixtape for the trip. I have to look for the list of tracks.
	11:04pm Funky16Corners: I found another piece of music written and performed specifically for a broadcast of the moon landing, done by Duke Ellington for ABC but the fidelity was terrible.
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: damn, i want to see that mixtape selection!
	11:04pm Little Danny: Dang, wow, I had no idea this Pink Floyd experiment existed. So cool
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: www.forbes.com...
	11:05pm cupcakejenny: Remember seeing the gold space record at the air and space museum
	11:05pm Carmichael: My first 45 was Donovan Wear Your Love Like Heaven.
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: That's a link to an article about the mixtape.
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: they often played things live that evolved quite a bit before ever getting recorded in the studio
	11:06pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - those interjections earlier were a BBC broadcaster. I only found out about this a few weeks ago.
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: Carm -nice!
	11:07pm Funky16Corners: I can't imagine a positive/scientific story captivating the word today like the moon landing did in 1969
	11:07pm Funky16Corners: WORLD
	11:08pm Franco Twinkie: The guys with the panel truck showed me how to tape firecrckers to a '45, light them and throw the record as hard as you could. Twenty second of pleasure for a lifetime of regret.
	11:08pm TheNewLexGofer: Nor can I.
	11:08pm coelacanth∅: are you kidding?! did you hear what Rhianna said?!
	🥁 11:09pm nostrangerer: Thank you for including John Stewart. Have yet to get any digital copies of his music and my LPs have long been packed away in storage. 1969 is year I graduated from high school and by 70 I had left my parents house never to return. Memories. as Stimpy sings... check you in the archive, early start tomorrow.
	11:09pm northguineahills: @Erica: When I was in HS, there was a Burger King across the street. Since I aced every test, most teachers didn't care if I skiped. I was straight edge at the time, and one of my friends (who became the salutatorian), was an acid dealer (amongst other things). So I'd skip class w/ her, and give her clean urine, (definitely wouldn't work today).
	11:09pm coelacanth∅: (or, whomever)
	11:09pm Carmichael: It was a picture sleeve. I still have it.
	11:10pm coelacanth∅: Bowie's one my older sister got me into
	11:10pm Carmichael: Rhi ... who?
	11:10pm Erica1969: Lucky you ngh. My teacher was more strict that.
	11:11pm Funky16Corners: Nite Nostrangerere!
	11:11pm Erica1969: I knew that Bowie song would be on the show.
	11:11pm Carmichael: Flight of the Conchords does a great parody called Bowies in Space. Smart, talented stuff.
	11:12pm cupcakejenny: That’s crazy. I only had one earbud in and I was about to ask what weird version this is. The vocals are split up.
	11:12pm coelacanth∅: my first 45 was 10cents at my friend's yard sale. yesterday b/w act naturally. boy that one took a beating.
	11:12pm Funky16Corners: @Carmichael - Have you ever seen the Rick and Morty episode with Jemaine Clement as the gaseous alien? He sings a Bowie parody in the episode,
	11:12pm cupcakejenny: We love flight of the concords
	11:14pm Parq: What really happened with Major Tom: www.newyorker.com...
	11:15pm Carmichael: I have not, but that’s soon to be remedied.
	11:17pm Parq: "In no event should protein-pill consumption delay the far more critical putting on of the helmet."
	11:19pm northguineahills: @Larry: I remember that episode of Rick and Morty. Genius!
	11:20pm Erica1969: Ooh the Woodstock portion of the show.
	11:21pm Carmichael: Laurel Canyon filthy hippies.
	11:22pm Funky16Corners: Plains of western Canada hippies...
	11:22pm Carmichael: I’m channeling Fabio.
	11:23pm Franco Twinkie: To me, Santana doing Soul Sacrifice is the best song song In Woodstock. Good image choice, Larry.
	11:23pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - Then hang in there!
	11:24pm Little Danny: I usta think so too Franco but now I'm partial to the CSN&Y and Jefferson Airplane sequences
	11:24pm Carmichael: Ten Years After.
	11:25pm Franco Twinkie: Those are good too, Danny.
	11:27pm Erica1969: Groovy crowd, man! I also forgot to mention that 1969 was also the year of Scooby Doo Where Are You? Zoinks!
	11:28pm TheNewLexGofer: Alvin Lee, luggin' the watermelon...
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: Hendrix's "villanova junction" (originally called "improvisation" if i remember correctly) is sublime, and never recorded before or since, as far as i know.
	11:29pm Funky16Corners: @Nextlexgofer - That is one of my favorite moments at the end of the set and te melon rolls out on stage.
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: BTW Music Lover, which doesn't appear anywhere outside of a medley is my fave Sly tune
	11:30pm greatb: anyone springing for the 38-disc anniversary box set?
	11:31pm Franco Twinkie: The movie and the record album came out the summer before my first year of high school. They would set up a P.A. in the quad and blast the record during lunch. One memory is this one particular stoner who would mimic Alvin Lee doing Going Home while totally out of this mind on reds.
	11:31pm coelacanth∅: actually the 2 John Sebastion songs are both favorite moments on that album. no other versions recorded of those songs are even worth hearing, in my opinion.
	11:32pm Erica1969: That's what I was talking about earlier greatb. I don't have the money to buy it but it's cool to know it's being released.
	11:32pm Little Danny: @franco: amazing!
	11:32pm Funky16Corners: I'd like to hear the sets that didn't make it into the movie, Bert Sommer, Incredible String Band etc
	11:33pm coelacanth∅: creedence
	11:33pm Funky16Corners: The way Sly and the band absolutely explode in this set is amazing.
	11:33pm coelacanth∅: (those tapes may have been destroyed, by orders of John Fogerty)
	11:33pm Franco Twinkie: Yes! CCR!!!
	11:33pm Funky16Corners: And it was the middle of the night!
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: this portion of this album blew my doors open at the time
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: but the whole album did
	11:37pm Funky16Corners: It really is something that along with the monumental significance of the event, the music was often as amazing. So many great performances.
	11:37pm cupcakejenny: Today is our younger son’s birthday. I remember when Larry would get up with the older one in the night to feed him he’d put on the Woodstock dvd right Larry?
	11:38pm northguineahills: I guess I should see the movie and listen to the album.... (I always thought it was overhyped). This Sly kills!
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: @Jenny - It was either that or Monterey Pop
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - Look for the director's cut of Woodstock. It's a fun movie to watch, to soak up the hippy-osity along with the music
	11:39pm cupcakejenny: Oh yeah maybe
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: Now this, right here, this will kick your ass.
	11:41pm rw: Evening! Ready for an ass kicking.
	11:41pm Franco Twinkie: NGH. we had this weird thing going on where these white girl cholas would do a 180 over summer and come back to school super hippies .
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: Hey rw!
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: Michale Shrieve is OUT OF CONTROL on this number
	11:43pm Erica1969: Speaking of A$$ kicking, that organ is on FIAH!
	11:44pm Franco Twinkie: Everyone in my school loved Santanta. Cholos, stoners, soul brothers, surfers, jocks...everybody!
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: to be honest -and not that i wouldn't like to hear a less edited version -i think they did a damn good job with the original edit, to fit an overview onto 3 records. to this day very little of it is not still amazing to me. side 2 is mostly lackluster. that's it. the rest phenominal.
	11:44pm TheNewLexGofer: Kicks mine every time I hear it!
	11:45pm coelacanth∅: hey rw!
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: I got to see Santana on their 10th anniversary tour in 1979. They were still amazing.
	11:46pm northguineahills: @franco: I went from looking like a straight-edge/Christian lad (at least to sell it to my parents) one summer to being an indie rocker my junior year of high school. That's when I found music, and took up extra jobs to buy records. The rest lays in the pain of my muscles after moving my records. At least my wife slapped some sense into me to stop going to record stores years ago...
	11:46pm rw: coel!
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: Also Jose Chepito Areas and Michael Carabello on Latin percussion!
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: played this (this version) on the pub jukebox a week ago and it did not fail
	11:48pm rw: I've often wondered how everybody grew their hair so long over the course of a summer.
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: Gregg Rolie on organ, David Brown on bass and Carlos on guitar
	11:49pm doctorjazz: Haven't heard this Santana in a long time...mannnnn.....
	11:50pm rw: F16C, is that you at the bottom of the playlist?
	11:50pm coelacanth∅: my brother and i begged my parents to let us abandon the crew cuts for a few years before they relented. then we had to get a ahircut before every schoolyear began...but every year it got longer. i looked quite like a girl in 6th grade.
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: @rw - On the left, the transparent blonde child
	11:52pm coelacanth∅: (ahircut = haircut!)
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: Santana, The Dead, Airplane at The Family Dog is a dvd worth looking for. If only for the close up of Michael Shrieve doing that shit.
	11:53pm TheNewLexGofer: President of the Hell's Angels.
	11:54pm Funky16Corners: Not no peace creep...No kidding.
	11:55pm cupcakejenny: Lol
	11:55pm TheNewLexGofer: Flower power died at Altamont. Childhood's end.
	11:56pm Erica1969: And then the 70s began.
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Look at the first and last tracks of the show tonight. The dark underpinning of the end of the 60s.
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: When I was junior high the "It" girl held court one afternoon telling all the guys that she had just came home from Altamont. Chresti and I will drive by the site on Friday on our way to SF.
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Is it still a race track?
	11:58pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, but it looks different now.
	11:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	12:00am TheNewLexGofer: Killer stuff tonight Larry; thanks so much.
	12:00am northguineahills: Bravo, Larry!
	12:01am northguineahills: @coel: I was hoping it was an aircut!
	12:01am chresti: Thanks Larry!
	12:02am rw: Thanks Larry! Nice to hear your personal memories of '69 along with the music! Beautiful.
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone!
	12:03am coelacanth∅: Brilliant Larry! Thanks! good night everyone
	12:03am Funky16Corners: Thanks C!
	12:03am Erica1969: Far out show tonight Larry! Was hoping to hear more Woodstock stuff but hey, you get what you get. Goodnight everyone!
	12:04am Funky16Corners: I only got two hours in which to groove!
	12:05am Franco Twinkie: loved it!
	12:05am Funky16Corners: Hey, it's August! It was July when I started the show!
