Listener comments!
	♥ 7:06am Squints: ok then. heyHEYhey now. Have fun, Number One Hitters. I'll have to catch this one in the archive. Day 2 of Levitate in Marshfield beckons. (Phil Lesh & Friends, Durand Jones, Elovators, among others). That a fine lookin' coaster, Justin. The hop smoothie looks good, too.
	♥ 8:18am Listener Baby: If one thinks about it, Baby. Considering the state of it, it’s not really a safe at all. It’s actually a not safe. Food for thought.
	♥ 10:59am Handy Haversack: Morning, Michael and all the ShelleGamers! That homebrew cider looks pretty darn good!
	11:01am clarke: h3y n0w
	♥ 11:02am DanFA: Hello Michael.
	♥ 11:02am Handy Haversack: I might have to crack open a bottle of cider while K8 and the dog are out on their run ...
	11:02am Greg g: Morning All!

	11:03am clarke: welcome to Music City!!!
	11:06am clarke: most probably bones howe on drums on that.
	11:07am clarke: maybe roger christian??
	♥ 11:11am Michael Shelley: A lot of J&D sessions ad Hal Blaine AND Earl Palmer
	11:11am clarke: the AM station in new orleans was WTIX (which now has an FM revitalized home), and i remember when they played It's Your Thing followed by this one.
	11:12am clarke: true, but many of the filler album tracks featured Bones on ze drooms.
	11:13am Cooh John: Didn't the Isley Brothers come from Cincinnati?
	♥ 11:14am Handy Haversack: Caught a couple of great drummers last night in Shellshag and Screaming Females, clarke. I was glad I rallied from softball soreness and general Friday fatigue to make it out! Did you and G get po'boys the other day?
	11:15am clarke: oh yes!!!! they were grand, and we actually were able to sit in the shade, not bad.
	♥ 11:15am Michael Shelley: I thought T Neck, NJ
	♥ 11:15am Handy Haversack: Nice! One day, we will join you. K8's never seen NOLA.
	11:16am phat in lincoln: Morning!
	♥ 11:16am Kotzwinkled: A fave Newport Folk Fest memory was seeing Courtney Barnett absolutely kill and looking over to see Gillian Welch and David Rawlings rocking out hard in the front row.
	11:17am clarke: hopefully, ya'll'll come down when it gets a bit cooler - like in december!
	11:17am phat in lincoln: Good heavens I'm tired.
	♥ 11:17am Handy Haversack: Per the Wiki, "The Isley Brothers originally came from Cincinnati, Ohio, and were raised in the city's Lincoln Heights suburb, settling in the satellite town of Blue Ash when they were teenagers." But in 1977, per the NYT: "Right now, the brothers reside near enough to each other to keep in close touch. Ronald lives in Teaneck, Kelly Jr. in Alpine, Rudolph in Haworth and Ernie in Englewood."
	♥ 11:18am Michael Shelley: I'd love to know what the instructions to the drummer were on this one
	11:18am clarke: @phat - i hear the same thing from other friends recovering from the 'vid - napping all the time.
	♥ 11:18am Handy Haversack: Ah: " "WHEN Sallye Isley moved her brood of children from Cincinnati to Englewood in the summer of 1959, she was participating in a show-business phenomenon.... While their older brothers toured America, the younger Isley boys enrolled successively in Englewood Junior High and Dwight Morrow High School."
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mornin's !
	♥ 11:19am myron feld: hello all -- taking a quick break from spackling. Time to go back up the ladder. See you later.
	♥ 11:20am Don Gorden: Good morning Mike, What happened to everybody loves Dolly??
	11:20am clarke: i've never spackled on a saturday!! later MF!!
	11:20am Dennis: Good ol’ Kim Fowley, always the life of the party!
	♥ 11:22am Sean Fahrrad: Myron I am repurposing old wood lath We may never meet, but today we are brothers of the ladder
	♥ 11:24am McGroovey: Spackling on Saturday? If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning. Oh. Wait. I do have a hammer!
	11:24am b0b0b0b Plasticland: wasn't Freddy Hart in the Raiders(band) for awhile?????????
	11:25am bobobobobob plasticland: @@@ Hey Dennis ...how was Milwaukee??
	11:26am clarke: hey Handy - did u go to Country Westerns???
	11:28am Bob: Good morning from Ann Arborish. I just left the Lavender Fest and I’m high on lavender fumes!
	11:29am clarke: mornin' Bob!!
	♥ 11:29am Handy Haversack: clarke, yeah! It was great. Piggies sounded fantastic, too. Because of where it was relocated, I was about 3 feet from the bands. And the place was packed! Mainly with young people, which was pretty refreshing (though I felt pretty old and dowdy -- I'd come straight from softball and was still wearing shorts and my Pigeons jersey). The PA had a buzz on the vocals, and the crowd had plenty of sound guys in it who wanted to call out advice. The CWs singer finally said, "It's rock and roll, you know." I cheered. Really fun -- and (longish) walking distance from home!
	♥ 11:30am Baja Joe: Morning Michael! At least for the next thirty minutes.
	11:30am SPF 53: hey I'm 50 today go figure! Rock on Mike
	11:32am clarke: great Handy!! joseph plunkett (the singer you mention) and i played together on a tour. good dude!!
	♥ 11:32am Montmaster J: Don't like the new CitiWinery. Much bigger...tall ceilings=sound not as good.
	11:33am andy fuchs: Never went to the previous city winery, but the current one is very nice. Saw Strawberry Field Beatles Brunch, which was enjoyable (in the loft). Have not yet been to the big theatre there, hopefully soon.
	♥ 11:33am Handy Haversack: I think they used to share a practice space in BK with my close friend's band -- a name you'd appreciate, I'm sure: Sportsman's Paradise.
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...funnier than probly should be...
	♥ 11:34am Baja Joe: Oh no! Not spilled milk on a car carpet! It never goes away, sorry to say. I tried enzymes, no luck.
	♥ 11:34am Kotzwinkled: Arecibo cab service?
	11:34am Dennis: Sounds like the Henry Hill/Billy Batts story…. “I hit a skunk, Karen, alright??”
	11:35am clarke: i appreciate that name, HH, but never heard of that band. i forgot that joseph lived in BK!!
	11:35am ?: get some white vinegar on that dairy air
	11:35am dday: @Michael Shelley: You have to pull up the carpet, remove the foam padding underneath and discard it. You can then go get replacement foam . Before installing the new foam get the carpet smelling good. Then re-install the foam & carpet. I had this happen with eggs in the summer once. That's the only thing that worked.
	11:36am clarke: and... FREE bathrooms!!!
	♥ 11:36am Handy Haversack: Ah, Arecibo. The pandemic and the toxic ride apps have really destroyed car services around here.
	11:36am andy fuchs: worst-case Mike, you can pull the rug and backing and buy a replacement rug.....assuming you cannot get the smell out.
	11:37am dday: It's most likely the backing foam that's holding on to the bacteria that's making things reek. You have to remove it
	♥ 11:37am Michael Shelley: dday - no foam
	♥ 11:37am Kotzwinkled: Listened to Karina Longworth's entire Manson arc on the way to LA and saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood at the Cinerama dome. Amazingly immersive background from Karina on that whole experience. She also has one of the best podcast voices in the game.
	♥ 11:38am Geoffrey in Ottawa: A couple friends and I drove down to Rochester last Friday to see Bloodshot Bill and Televisionaries. They played for three and a half hours. Incredible.
	11:38am ledzeppelinsucks: found 'Country Song Roundup' magazines from 1966 and 67 in house demolition yesterday obscure Country artist fan club material
	11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fulk Everything.
	♥ 11:38am Geoffrey in Ottawa: On the way back, the border guard asked if we bought anything. "I bought a record," I said. "A vinyl record? What'd you do that for?"
	11:39am clarke: MAWNIN' REV!
	♥ 11:39am DanFA: Stoked for Karina Longworth next week, Michael.
	♥ 11:40am Geoffrey in Ottawa: We also went to a triple-A baseball game where I caught a foul ball and in one smooth motion tossed it to a kid with a glove a couple rows in front of me. Canada Day!
	11:40am clarke: she sounds like a real debbie downer!
	♥ 11:40am Handy Haversack: Ha, nice, Geoffrey. I picked up a record (and four CDs) at the show last night and was gratified to not be the only person on the subway who was carrying an LP!
	♥ 11:41am DanFA: Is this a Charles Manson song?
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not quite "whatchoo readin' for - ?!?" - but can hear it from there...
	♥ 11:42am DanFA: My bad, I was thinking of a different song. I heard Manson wrote a song something along the lines called My Monkey
	♥ 11:44am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Baby, Clarke, Handy, no bathroom Bagpipe, Cooh, McGroove, everybody!
	11:44am Cooh John: Thanks, Handy. You are handy with the info.
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Vaguely Juniperesque™️.
	11:45am clarke: jaack!!
	♥ 11:46am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Thought we might see you last night at Shellshag/Screaming Females. Rev Rab, I was thinking the exact same thing.
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Verily - I toast thee All with DeathWishCoffeez - me goode FMUvianz.
	♥ 11:47am DanFA: Hey man, you keep your hands off her.
	11:47am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Driving downstate (wife currently behind the wheel) and love having #1 hit music for the road.
	♥ 11:48am Frank In Queens: Hey AND Now
	11:48am clarke: howdy Frank - been gardening??
	11:48am Andres: Good morning all you #1s! Michael + Clarke: No Time To Die was not horrible but also not great. “Alright” as my wife said. I’d go as far as good. To paraphrase the song, What the world needs now… is maybe not another Bond movie. Supervillains and superhero-like spies has run its course. In any case not so bad that if left me with the bad taste of “old milk forgotten in the car”.
	♥ 11:48am Geoffrey in Ottawa: I once saw Johnny Ramone biking down 8th Avenue. My one and only famous person sighting, I think.
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dusty the better singer ...but I reckon Nancy gonna get this job done...
	♥ 11:49am Lizardner Dave !: Old question but I wasn't near a computer - the new City Winery in NY is a completely different experience than the old City Winery. The new one is this cavernous space on the river that feels more like a converted factory than the old City Winery which felt like a restaurant. There is a nice balcony in the new place though, that's my preferred place to sit. The quality of the food is still pretty good but its more expensive.
	♥ 11:49am Handy Haversack: Frank! Corey: tim from washington and I are formulating plans to meet up at the Musical Fountain when we overlap in MI this summer!
	11:50am clarke: @Frank - did u make it to the Country Westerns??
	♥ 11:50am Frank In Queens: @clarke, nah been sleeping it off. Went to a show with a very good friend that i haven't seen in ages.
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Only worthwhile thing with Bond is the Womenz. Honestly.
	11:50am phat in lincoln: I had forgotten this was David & Bacharach.
	11:51am clarke: @Andres - sounds like a meh draw. what i liked about the movie is too much of a spoiler to discuss.
	♥ 11:51am Geoffrey in Ottawa: I'm driving to NYC on Wednesday with my 11-year-old son. American Museum of Natural History, High Line, Yankees. I'm open to suggestions.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Okay - some villains.
	♥ 11:53am Hubig Pie: Honey gots wheels and Patsy wants to go for a ride
	♥ 11:54am myron feld: I was up on the ladder when "Hey Little Girl" played and didn't hear much commentary, other than it was a Nilsson song. Two questions: 1) Did anyone think Jimmy Cross sounded a lot like Peter Noone? 2) (and this is the big one): Is that the same Jimmy Cross who did the great death rock anthem "I Want My Baby Back?" If these were asked and answered, my apologies.
	♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: Ooo, nice, Geoffrey. Will you be here on Saturday? It's City of Water Day, so there will be waterfront events all over, but I'll be helping with this one: www.eventbrite.com... Also: the Circle Line tour that circumnavigates Manhattan in a WWII troop carrier is really a good time. I say this as a NYer! The guides are really informative, the views can't be beat, and you're on a boat. The worst thing about it as the the space shuttle on the Intrepid is hidden by a shed. If nothing else, ride the SI Ferry. It's free! And you can bring beer!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh yeah Fake HermansHermits fo sho.
	11:55am clarke: great stuff Handy!!
	♥ 11:56am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Thanks, Handy, we will be there next Saturday and that ferry ride sounds perfect. As does the Circle Line tour. Will definitely do one or both.
	11:56am clarke: another highlite would be Stromboli's Pizza on Ave A - but, i have no idea if it is still the same.
	11:57am dday: @MS: then do as andy fuchs says. Pull up & replace the rug. What is there 2 sq.ft at best in the whole area? Get a cheap remnat from a carpet joint and replace it. Cheaper & less time consuming than all you've already done with zero success Good luck :)
	♥ 11:57am Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Handy I'm kind of afraid of water so won't be joining you at your event, but that sure looks cool.
	♥ 11:58am Frank In Queens: 7/10.
	♥ 11:59am Geoffrey in Ottawa: I used to go to Arturo's on Houston. Might try it again after a trip to the Strand.
	11:59am Andres: Handy, were you at the NBCB when Bill Murray and Jimmy Kimmel went for a paddle?
	12:00pm clarke: it is rumored that Zooey D lived in nola, for a short time, but i never had a siting. and i went to a lot of shows, then!
	♥ 12:00pm Handy Haversack: Ah, gotcha, Geoffrey. Andres, yes, I am featured prominently in the video. They cut out all my laugh lines. You can't upstage the talent!
	12:00pm Corey: @Handy Might catch the fountain tonight if we dare to keep the toddler up that late. Keep me abreast of your fountain meet up!
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FakeZombiez. Which is living person I suppose. Delightful.
	♥ 12:01pm GeorgeSimian: Always a great show, @Michael Shelley, but today's show seems extra good! Loved that Aaron Neville song!
	♥ 12:01pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: That Aaron Neville song was insane. I thought it was Bobby 'Blue' Band, but I was wrong.
	12:02pm clarke: fun-powered!!!
	♥ 12:02pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: *Bland
	12:02pm clarke: speaking of don't look back!!
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Probly AlbertGrossman pushing it. Peter Paul & Mary doing 'Blowin' In the Wind' was the 1st I always heard. & then the ByrdS if course.
	12:04pm PatrickMC: Def Grossman
	12:04pm Mika: It’s easy to forget how original Dylan was in his time. Suze Rotolo (I think) said he made the old sound new, and the new sound old. There was no ‘switch’ - the enthusiasm from other musicians was spontaneous and organic.
	♥ 12:05pm Handy Haversack: Geoffrey: The Museum of the Moving Image is also really worth seeing.
	12:06pm clarke: hard cider!!
	♥ 12:07pm Handy Haversack: You can literally make cider with just unpasteurized apple cider and champagne yeast. Easy peasy. I picked up a couple of cases of NYS cider on this road trip we did last week. I really like super-dry ciders, and New York has some great cideries. Managed to get to my favorite on this trip and try a couple of new ones.
	♥ 12:07pm DanFA: Tom Hanks is a weird choice to play Colonel Tom Parker. Stephen Root would've been better.
	12:07pm clarke: let's talk about Ronald Tutt, Jr.!!!!
	♥ 12:07pm DanFA: Does the movie cover when Elvis met Nixon?
	12:09pm Mister Dobalina: ELVIS!
	12:09pm Mico: Saw the Elvis movie and it’s awesome. It’s a lot of eye and ear candy. Loved Hanks and Butlers performance. Feel like seeing it again.
	♥ 12:10pm JG: I didn't like the luhrman movie. I thought it missed the mark. Could have been so much better if it spent more time on the Sun stuff. And the time between Sun and RCA. And Hanks was terrible. Parker sounded like Fog Horn Leg Horn oil real life, so the European accent was nonsensical. And DanFa, no , there is no Nixon meeting which could have been great. The 68 comeback part was pretty good
	♥ 12:10pm Hubig Pie: Saw Elvis at the KC airport in '62. Don't remeber it cuz I was 3 but my mom says I was there.
	12:10pm clarke: procure a new disk jockey.
	♥ 12:10pm DanFA: @Mico, does it touch on when Elvis met Nixon?
	12:10pm dday: Grossman...pretty much on par business wise with Morris Levy
	12:10pm pottybear: Just like makin’ cider?
	12:12pm clarke: now dday - i don't think grossman actually ripped off his artists, like levy screwed EVERY one of them. seems like grossman wanted his artists to have monitary success.
	♥ 12:14pm myron feld: @Michael: Nick et al @ Fairfield is AUGUST 12 -- unless he's playing next April 12 as well. I hope to see you there.
	12:14pm clarke: get back on that ladder!!!
	12:15pm Bob: I like this record a lot but do they play even faster live? It borders on slightly frantic and too fast a tempo to me,.
	♥ 12:15pm Frank In Queens: Televisionaries are also playing tomorrow night at Our Wicked Lady in Brooklyn
	♥ 12:16pm myron feld: @clarke: spackling done, awaiting drying so as to proceed to sanding. It's a busy day chez Feld.
	♥ 12:16pm Handy Haversack: Frank, you coming to Mama Tried in the afternoon tomorrow?
	12:16pm clarke: wow, yer a real go-getter!!
	♥ 12:16pm Frank In Queens: @Bob, I don't recall their tempos being noticeably faster live.
	12:17pm TimG: That’s HEY LADY to you…..hah
	♥ 12:17pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, we'll see. After last night and a marathon day at Citi Field today, I may not be able to hack it.
	12:18pm clarke: mets, Frank?
	♥ 12:18pm Handy Haversack: Who'd you see last night? I was looking out for you at TV Eye.
	♥ 12:18pm Frank In Queens: Yes, and they're retiring Keith Hernandez's number today.
	♥ 12:18pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Handy Thanks, I'll look into that, too. Trying not to cram too much into our days. My son and I are walkers, so I figure time spent walking will be time well spent.
	♥ 12:18pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, I was at the Circle Jerks show at Irving Plaza. Rescheduled from April.
	12:19pm Bob: I'm hoping they get added to the Nick show here in August. I'd like to see some new bands that play cool stuff.
	12:19pm clarke: wow! who dey play?? (i could look this up).
	12:19pm rx scabin: Good afternoon, Michael and Everyone.
	♥ 12:19pm Listener Baby: Turtles albums cuts are stellar! Love that dry vocal.
	♥ 12:20pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, they play Miami today.
	12:20pm clarke: BABY!!!! : baby
	12:20pm clarke: marlins are hot!!
	♥ 12:20pm Handy Haversack: Nice! Bikini Kill is there tonight, which I'm now regretting not getting tix for. Yeah, Geoffrey, it's a city that rewards walkers! You can walk over the Brooklyn Bridge, get some food, and take a ferry back if you want.
	♥ 12:21pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, the are. They split the first two games of this series. I was there for Thursday night's blowout win.
	12:21pm clarke: nice, man!!!
	♥ 12:22pm Listener Baby: Hi Clarke!,
	12:22pm clarke: Baby - how's our favorite camp counselor??
	12:22pm dday: @clarke: Read "A View from the Bottom" by Harvey Brooks, or "The Individualist" by Todd Rundgren to get a better feel for Grossman's "management style." All that was missing was the mob.
	♥ 12:23pm Listener Baby: Dirty, I’ll bet. Comes home for 24 hours tomorrow. Don’t know how she does it.
	♥ 12:23pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Handy Have you seen the movie "The Street?" I think that's what it's called. I like your Brooklyn Bridge idea, too.
	12:24pm clarke: i know he was aggressive, Dday, but as far as stealing money from his artists?? dunno bout that. i would like to read both books, tho.
	♥ 12:24pm HyperDose: Blotto!
	♥ 12:24pm Listener Baby: #1 Hit, this one.
	12:25pm clarke: Baby, i was wondering how the hell i worked on a golf course in the midst of summer heat - simple. i was YOUNG!!
	12:25pm dday: @clarke: they are both good reads. I'm a friend of Harvey's since the late 70's. His book lays it out pretty good. I'm sure Al Kooper has some choice tales to tell as well.
	♥ 12:26pm Handy Haversack: Just goes to show how good alcohol is for you! Geoffrey, no, don't think so. The 2019 doc or the 1976 short?
	12:26pm clarke: i've read one of Kooper's books.
	12:27pm clarke: Game-Changers For Children
	12:28pm dday: @Clarke: which one? I'd like to add that to my list. He & Harvey were childhood friends. Al screwed Harvey over so many times they haven't spoken in years.
	12:28pm clarke: (that is not the title of the book)
	12:28pm clarke: uhhh, ______ Dreams, i think??
	♥ 12:29pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Handy A recent movie. Sheila B. recommended it during the heart of the pandemic. I did a quick search just now and couldn't find it, but I'll keep looking. Definitely a move for walkers.
	12:29pm dday: Backstabbers & Backstage Passes? I have that on my list. :) :)
	12:29pm clarke: that's the one, Dday!! it is really good.
	12:30pm clarke: but, it has been several decades since i read the thang.
	♥ 12:31pm HyperDose: 🌊🎸🥁
	12:32pm dday: Cool @ Clarke. As soon as I finish "The Real Frank Zappa Book" coming next week, I'll get that one by Kooper. It's fun to see how the stories intertwine & change depending on who's telling them. Some heady days for those early guys. I knew quite a few of them. Just lucky I guess. Usually somewhere in the middle is the truth :)
	12:33pm clarke: based on what i've heard here, don't want to see the Elvis movie, but i can TESTIFY for the validity of the Sex Pistols series - it is just done SO VERY well!!
	♥ 12:34pm HyperDose: I want that Hot Rats boxed set
	♥ 12:35pm Handy Haversack: Wow, clarke, I hated the Sex Pistols show -- and I'm a huge Danny Boyle fan.
	12:35pm clarke: maybe the guy playing johnny rotten is not close in looks, but he's a good actor.
	12:35pm dday: @Clarke: never was an Elvis fan. More my parents generation. For me it's as Mott the Hoople sang "Born Late 58"
	12:36pm clarke: things i liked about it Handy: 1) they get the gear SO dead-on perfect, 2) they filmed on the actual sites as much as they could, 3) the guy playing jonesy is really good.
	12:37pm clarke: @dday, i am A HUGE elvis fan - which is why i don't want to see the movie!
	12:37pm clarke: P. Best - nuthin' but #1's!!!
	12:38pm Baby: Baby. Pete Best on Letternan is painfully great. Post if you can find it.
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gittar Tuners woulda ruined this.
	♥ 12:38pm HyperDose: Best on Letterman: www.youtube.com...
	12:38pm egould: Was there a “bagpipe” setting on the organ?
	12:39pm clarke: arf arf!!
	♥ 12:39pm Handy Haversack: I hear you, clarke. I just hated the writing. And using Chrissie Hynde just for sex scenes.
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx HyperD.
	12:40pm clarke: actually handy, i could go on about what i liked. one of them was that the studio shown recording in - the actual one!
	♥ 12:40pm Frank In Queens: It is a wonderful song.
	12:41pm clarke: I'm Not Like Everybody Else
	♥ 12:41pm Frank In Queens: The Swedish version as well, I believe.
	♥ 12:41pm Frank In Queens: A vocal harmony to die for.
	12:41pm adam: sounds like Simon and Garfunkel
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Who is Mr. Sondberg ...& did he work for Grossman.
	12:43pm Mister Dobalina: That was nice.
	12:43pm clarke: nice skip!!
	12:43pm gf2002: Just kicking down the cobblestones Looking for fun and feeling groovy
	♥ 12:44pm myron feld: Against all expectations, I actually liked "Pistol." I subsequently read Jones' book upon which it is based and enjoyed that as well, although the recovery chapters drag a bit.
	12:44pm clarke: where hath the time goneth?? lordeee. fun-powered radio fer sure, here, time to hunt down some breakfast.
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm the boy about town that you heard of ...it's more than you can hope for in this world.
	12:45pm clarke: need to read that, now, myron.
	12:48pm clarke: also, Myron, thanks for the pointer - skim thru the later chapters. i wish someone had said skim the middle of From Here To Eternity. which lasts.. an eternity!
	12:49pm clarke: rex always walks in WHILE mike is on mic. hmm.
	12:50pm HungryFreak: Finally, like 10 years of listening to finally hear the Ray Barretto track. OK I can go now.
	12:50pm Andres: This tune a deep shade of GOLD!!
	12:51pm clarke: @Andres - i went and got a crew cut, anyway.
	12:51pm phat in lincoln: "Deeper Shade of Soul" is still one of the hippest records ever made.
	12:51pm HungryFreak: I've run into Ray on the street more often than on Mike's show!
	12:52pm clarke: a farandole.
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buddy Holly Lives
	12:56pm HungryFreak: They cloned him right? I KNEW IT!
	12:56pm phat in lincoln: What's that Jonsthan Richman track from?
	12:56pm clarke: shakey's!!
	12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...try our special Resentimento topping...
	12:57pm paul: RIP, Larry Storch. 99.
	12:57pm ?: Buddy & Bob Montgomery (pre-fame) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPhGI9MNo6Y
	12:58pm clarke: oh noooo!! RIP!! just saw him on two episodes of Columbo
	12:58pm Andres: Preach! Thank, Michael!
	12:58pm 538: What a jerk
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Thanks Michael. Great show!
	12:58pm clarke: anyone ever get the feeling they been feeted, good nite.
	12:59pm ?: Larry Storch is one of those people I thought died years ago
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	♥ 1:00pm HyperDose: Thank you Michael!
	♥ 1:06pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! Got caught up with a neighbor there at the end, but it was a great show!

Listener comments!
	♥ 7:06am Squints: ok then. heyHEYhey now. Have fun, Number One Hitters. I'll have to catch this one in the archive. Day 2 of Levitate in Marshfield beckons. (Phil Lesh & Friends, Durand Jones, Elovators, among others). That a fine lookin' coaster, Justin. The hop smoothie looks good, too.
	♥ 8:18am Listener Baby: If one thinks about it, Baby. Considering the state of it, it’s not really a safe at all. It’s actually a not safe. Food for thought.
	♥ 10:59am Handy Haversack: Morning, Michael and all the ShelleGamers! That homebrew cider looks pretty darn good!
	11:01am clarke: h3y n0w
	♥ 11:02am DanFA: Hello Michael.
	♥ 11:02am Handy Haversack: I might have to crack open a bottle of cider while K8 and the dog are out on their run ...
	11:02am Greg g: Morning All!
	11:02am Peter Horvath: Yo Number Oners. Apparently it’s summer time
	11:03am clarke: welcome to Music City!!!
	11:06am clarke: most probably bones howe on drums on that.
	11:07am clarke: maybe roger christian??
	♥ 11:11am Michael Shelley: A lot of J&D sessions ad Hal Blaine AND Earl Palmer
	11:11am clarke: the AM station in new orleans was WTIX (which now has an FM revitalized home), and i remember when they played It's Your Thing followed by this one.
	11:12am clarke: true, but many of the filler album tracks featured Bones on ze drooms.
	11:13am Cooh John: Didn't the Isley Brothers come from Cincinnati?
	♥ 11:14am Handy Haversack: Caught a couple of great drummers last night in Shellshag and Screaming Females, clarke. I was glad I rallied from softball soreness and general Friday fatigue to make it out! Did you and G get po'boys the other day?
	11:15am clarke: oh yes!!!! they were grand, and we actually were able to sit in the shade, not bad.
	♥ 11:15am Michael Shelley: I thought T Neck, NJ
	♥ 11:15am Handy Haversack: Nice! One day, we will join you. K8's never seen NOLA.
	11:16am phat in lincoln: Morning!
	♥ 11:16am Kotzwinkled: A fave Newport Folk Fest memory was seeing Courtney Barnett absolutely kill and looking over to see Gillian Welch and David Rawlings rocking out hard in the front row.
	11:17am clarke: hopefully, ya'll'll come down when it gets a bit cooler - like in december!
	11:17am phat in lincoln: Good heavens I'm tired.
	♥ 11:17am Handy Haversack: Per the Wiki, "The Isley Brothers originally came from Cincinnati, Ohio, and were raised in the city's Lincoln Heights suburb, settling in the satellite town of Blue Ash when they were teenagers." But in 1977, per the NYT: "Right now, the brothers reside near enough to each other to keep in close touch. Ronald lives in Teaneck, Kelly Jr. in Alpine, Rudolph in Haworth and Ernie in Englewood."
	♥ 11:18am Michael Shelley: I'd love to know what the instructions to the drummer were on this one
	11:18am clarke: @phat - i hear the same thing from other friends recovering from the 'vid - napping all the time.
	♥ 11:18am Handy Haversack: Ah: " "WHEN Sallye Isley moved her brood of children from Cincinnati to Englewood in the summer of 1959, she was participating in a show-business phenomenon.... While their older brothers toured America, the younger Isley boys enrolled successively in Englewood Junior High and Dwight Morrow High School."
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mornin's !
	♥ 11:19am myron feld: hello all -- taking a quick break from spackling. Time to go back up the ladder. See you later.
	♥ 11:20am Don Gorden: Good morning Mike, What happened to everybody loves Dolly??
	11:20am clarke: i've never spackled on a saturday!! later MF!!
	11:20am Dennis: Good ol’ Kim Fowley, always the life of the party!
	♥ 11:22am Sean Fahrrad: Myron I am repurposing old wood lath We may never meet, but today we are brothers of the ladder
	♥ 11:24am McGroovey: Spackling on Saturday? If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning. Oh. Wait. I do have a hammer!
	11:24am b0b0b0b Plasticland: wasn't Freddy Hart in the Raiders(band) for awhile?????????
	11:25am bobobobobob plasticland: @@@ Hey Dennis ...how was Milwaukee??
	11:26am clarke: hey Handy - did u go to Country Westerns???
	11:28am Bob: Good morning from Ann Arborish. I just left the Lavender Fest and I’m high on lavender fumes!
	11:29am clarke: mornin' Bob!!
	♥ 11:29am Handy Haversack: clarke, yeah! It was great. Piggies sounded fantastic, too. Because of where it was relocated, I was about 3 feet from the bands. And the place was packed! Mainly with young people, which was pretty refreshing (though I felt pretty old and dowdy -- I'd come straight from softball and was still wearing shorts and my Pigeons jersey). The PA had a buzz on the vocals, and the crowd had plenty of sound guys in it who wanted to call out advice. The CWs singer finally said, "It's rock and roll, you know." I cheered. Really fun -- and (longish) walking distance from home!
	♥ 11:30am Baja Joe: Morning Michael! At least for the next thirty minutes.
	11:30am SPF 53: hey I'm 50 today go figure! Rock on Mike
	11:32am clarke: great Handy!! joseph plunkett (the singer you mention) and i played together on a tour. good dude!!
	♥ 11:32am Montmaster J: Don't like the new CitiWinery. Much bigger...tall ceilings=sound not as good.
	11:33am andy fuchs: Never went to the previous city winery, but the current one is very nice. Saw Strawberry Field Beatles Brunch, which was enjoyable (in the loft). Have not yet been to the big theatre there, hopefully soon.
	♥ 11:33am Handy Haversack: I think they used to share a practice space in BK with my close friend's band -- a name you'd appreciate, I'm sure: Sportsman's Paradise.
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...funnier than probly should be...
	♥ 11:34am Baja Joe: Oh no! Not spilled milk on a car carpet! It never goes away, sorry to say. I tried enzymes, no luck.
	♥ 11:34am Kotzwinkled: Arecibo cab service?
	11:34am Dennis: Sounds like the Henry Hill/Billy Batts story…. “I hit a skunk, Karen, alright??”
	11:35am clarke: i appreciate that name, HH, but never heard of that band. i forgot that joseph lived in BK!!
	11:35am ?: get some white vinegar on that dairy air
	11:35am dday: @Michael Shelley: You have to pull up the carpet, remove the foam padding underneath and discard it. You can then go get replacement foam . Before installing the new foam get the carpet smelling good. Then re-install the foam & carpet. I had this happen with eggs in the summer once. That's the only thing that worked.
	11:36am clarke: and... FREE bathrooms!!!
	♥ 11:36am Handy Haversack: Ah, Arecibo. The pandemic and the toxic ride apps have really destroyed car services around here.
	11:36am andy fuchs: worst-case Mike, you can pull the rug and backing and buy a replacement rug.....assuming you cannot get the smell out.
	11:37am dday: It's most likely the backing foam that's holding on to the bacteria that's making things reek. You have to remove it
	♥ 11:37am Michael Shelley: dday - no foam
	♥ 11:37am Kotzwinkled: Listened to Karina Longworth's entire Manson arc on the way to LA and saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood at the Cinerama dome. Amazingly immersive background from Karina on that whole experience. She also has one of the best podcast voices in the game.
	♥ 11:38am Geoffrey in Ottawa: A couple friends and I drove down to Rochester last Friday to see Bloodshot Bill and Televisionaries. They played for three and a half hours. Incredible.
	11:38am ledzeppelinsucks: found 'Country Song Roundup' magazines from 1966 and 67 in house demolition yesterday obscure Country artist fan club material
	11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fulk Everything.
	♥ 11:38am Geoffrey in Ottawa: On the way back, the border guard asked if we bought anything. "I bought a record," I said. "A vinyl record? What'd you do that for?"
	11:39am clarke: MAWNIN' REV!
	♥ 11:39am DanFA: Stoked for Karina Longworth next week, Michael.
	♥ 11:40am Geoffrey in Ottawa: We also went to a triple-A baseball game where I caught a foul ball and in one smooth motion tossed it to a kid with a glove a couple rows in front of me. Canada Day!
	11:40am clarke: she sounds like a real debbie downer!
	♥ 11:40am Handy Haversack: Ha, nice, Geoffrey. I picked up a record (and four CDs) at the show last night and was gratified to not be the only person on the subway who was carrying an LP!
	♥ 11:41am DanFA: Is this a Charles Manson song?
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not quite "whatchoo readin' for - ?!?" - but can hear it from there...
	♥ 11:42am DanFA: My bad, I was thinking of a different song. I heard Manson wrote a song something along the lines called My Monkey
	♥ 11:44am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Baby, Clarke, Handy, no bathroom Bagpipe, Cooh, McGroove, everybody!
	11:44am Cooh John: Thanks, Handy. You are handy with the info.
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Vaguely Juniperesque™️.
	11:45am clarke: jaack!!
	♥ 11:46am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Thought we might see you last night at Shellshag/Screaming Females. Rev Rab, I was thinking the exact same thing.
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Verily - I toast thee All with DeathWishCoffeez - me goode FMUvianz.
	♥ 11:47am DanFA: Hey man, you keep your hands off her.
	11:47am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Driving downstate (wife currently behind the wheel) and love having #1 hit music for the road.
	♥ 11:48am Frank In Queens: Hey AND Now
	11:48am clarke: howdy Frank - been gardening??
	11:48am Andres: Good morning all you #1s! Michael + Clarke: No Time To Die was not horrible but also not great. “Alright” as my wife said. I’d go as far as good. To paraphrase the song, What the world needs now… is maybe not another Bond movie. Supervillains and superhero-like spies has run its course. In any case not so bad that if left me with the bad taste of “old milk forgotten in the car”.
	♥ 11:48am Geoffrey in Ottawa: I once saw Johnny Ramone biking down 8th Avenue. My one and only famous person sighting, I think.
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dusty the better singer ...but I reckon Nancy gonna get this job done...
	♥ 11:49am Lizardner Dave !: Old question but I wasn't near a computer - the new City Winery in NY is a completely different experience than the old City Winery. The new one is this cavernous space on the river that feels more like a converted factory than the old City Winery which felt like a restaurant. There is a nice balcony in the new place though, that's my preferred place to sit. The quality of the food is still pretty good but its more expensive.
	♥ 11:49am Handy Haversack: Frank! Corey: tim from washington and I are formulating plans to meet up at the Musical Fountain when we overlap in MI this summer!
	11:50am clarke: @Frank - did u make it to the Country Westerns??
	♥ 11:50am Frank In Queens: @clarke, nah been sleeping it off. Went to a show with a very good friend that i haven't seen in ages.
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Only worthwhile thing with Bond is the Womenz. Honestly.
	11:50am phat in lincoln: I had forgotten this was David & Bacharach.
	11:51am clarke: @Andres - sounds like a meh draw. what i liked about the movie is too much of a spoiler to discuss.
	♥ 11:51am Geoffrey in Ottawa: I'm driving to NYC on Wednesday with my 11-year-old son. American Museum of Natural History, High Line, Yankees. I'm open to suggestions.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Okay - some villains.
	♥ 11:53am Hubig Pie: Honey gots wheels and Patsy wants to go for a ride
	♥ 11:54am myron feld: I was up on the ladder when "Hey Little Girl" played and didn't hear much commentary, other than it was a Nilsson song. Two questions: 1) Did anyone think Jimmy Cross sounded a lot like Peter Noone? 2) (and this is the big one): Is that the same Jimmy Cross who did the great death rock anthem "I Want My Baby Back?" If these were asked and answered, my apologies.
	♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: Ooo, nice, Geoffrey. Will you be here on Saturday? It's City of Water Day, so there will be waterfront events all over, but I'll be helping with this one: www.eventbrite.com... Also: the Circle Line tour that circumnavigates Manhattan in a WWII troop carrier is really a good time. I say this as a NYer! The guides are really informative, the views can't be beat, and you're on a boat. The worst thing about it as the the space shuttle on the Intrepid is hidden by a shed. If nothing else, ride the SI Ferry. It's free! And you can bring beer!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh yeah Fake HermansHermits fo sho.
	11:55am clarke: great stuff Handy!!
	♥ 11:56am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Thanks, Handy, we will be there next Saturday and that ferry ride sounds perfect. As does the Circle Line tour. Will definitely do one or both.
	11:56am clarke: another highlite would be Stromboli's Pizza on Ave A - but, i have no idea if it is still the same.
	11:57am dday: @MS: then do as andy fuchs says. Pull up & replace the rug. What is there 2 sq.ft at best in the whole area? Get a cheap remnat from a carpet joint and replace it. Cheaper & less time consuming than all you've already done with zero success Good luck :)
	♥ 11:57am Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Handy I'm kind of afraid of water so won't be joining you at your event, but that sure looks cool.
	♥ 11:58am Frank In Queens: 7/10.
	♥ 11:59am Geoffrey in Ottawa: I used to go to Arturo's on Houston. Might try it again after a trip to the Strand.
	11:59am Andres: Handy, were you at the NBCB when Bill Murray and Jimmy Kimmel went for a paddle?
	12:00pm clarke: it is rumored that Zooey D lived in nola, for a short time, but i never had a siting. and i went to a lot of shows, then!
	♥ 12:00pm Handy Haversack: Ah, gotcha, Geoffrey. Andres, yes, I am featured prominently in the video. They cut out all my laugh lines. You can't upstage the talent!
	12:00pm Corey: @Handy Might catch the fountain tonight if we dare to keep the toddler up that late. Keep me abreast of your fountain meet up!
	12:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FakeZombiez. Which is living person I suppose. Delightful.
	♥ 12:01pm GeorgeSimian: Always a great show, @Michael Shelley, but today's show seems extra good! Loved that Aaron Neville song!
	♥ 12:01pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: That Aaron Neville song was insane. I thought it was Bobby 'Blue' Band, but I was wrong.
	12:02pm clarke: fun-powered!!!
	♥ 12:02pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: *Bland
	12:02pm clarke: speaking of don't look back!!
	12:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Probly AlbertGrossman pushing it. Peter Paul & Mary doing 'Blowin' In the Wind' was the 1st I always heard. & then the ByrdS if course.
	12:04pm PatrickMC: Def Grossman
	12:04pm Mika: It’s easy to forget how original Dylan was in his time. Suze Rotolo (I think) said he made the old sound new, and the new sound old. There was no ‘switch’ - the enthusiasm from other musicians was spontaneous and organic.
	♥ 12:05pm Handy Haversack: Geoffrey: The Museum of the Moving Image is also really worth seeing.
	12:06pm clarke: hard cider!!
	♥ 12:07pm Handy Haversack: You can literally make cider with just unpasteurized apple cider and champagne yeast. Easy peasy. I picked up a couple of cases of NYS cider on this road trip we did last week. I really like super-dry ciders, and New York has some great cideries. Managed to get to my favorite on this trip and try a couple of new ones.
	♥ 12:07pm DanFA: Tom Hanks is a weird choice to play Colonel Tom Parker. Stephen Root would've been better.
	12:07pm clarke: let's talk about Ronald Tutt, Jr.!!!!
	♥ 12:07pm DanFA: Does the movie cover when Elvis met Nixon?
	12:09pm Mister Dobalina: ELVIS!
	12:09pm Mico: Saw the Elvis movie and it’s awesome. It’s a lot of eye and ear candy. Loved Hanks and Butlers performance. Feel like seeing it again.
	♥ 12:10pm JG: I didn't like the luhrman movie. I thought it missed the mark. Could have been so much better if it spent more time on the Sun stuff. And the time between Sun and RCA. And Hanks was terrible. Parker sounded like Fog Horn Leg Horn oil real life, so the European accent was nonsensical. And DanFa, no , there is no Nixon meeting which could have been great. The 68 comeback part was pretty good
	♥ 12:10pm Hubig Pie: Saw Elvis at the KC airport in '62. Don't remeber it cuz I was 3 but my mom says I was there.
	12:10pm clarke: procure a new disk jockey.
	♥ 12:10pm DanFA: @Mico, does it touch on when Elvis met Nixon?
	12:10pm dday: Grossman...pretty much on par business wise with Morris Levy
	12:10pm pottybear: Just like makin’ cider?
	12:12pm clarke: now dday - i don't think grossman actually ripped off his artists, like levy screwed EVERY one of them. seems like grossman wanted his artists to have monitary success.
	♥ 12:14pm myron feld: @Michael: Nick et al @ Fairfield is AUGUST 12 -- unless he's playing next April 12 as well. I hope to see you there.
	12:14pm clarke: get back on that ladder!!!
	12:15pm Bob: I like this record a lot but do they play even faster live? It borders on slightly frantic and too fast a tempo to me,.
	♥ 12:15pm Frank In Queens: Televisionaries are also playing tomorrow night at Our Wicked Lady in Brooklyn
	♥ 12:16pm myron feld: @clarke: spackling done, awaiting drying so as to proceed to sanding. It's a busy day chez Feld.
	♥ 12:16pm Handy Haversack: Frank, you coming to Mama Tried in the afternoon tomorrow?
	12:16pm clarke: wow, yer a real go-getter!!
	♥ 12:16pm Frank In Queens: @Bob, I don't recall their tempos being noticeably faster live.
	12:17pm TimG: That’s HEY LADY to you…..hah
	♥ 12:17pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, we'll see. After last night and a marathon day at Citi Field today, I may not be able to hack it.
	12:18pm clarke: mets, Frank?
	♥ 12:18pm Handy Haversack: Who'd you see last night? I was looking out for you at TV Eye.
	♥ 12:18pm Frank In Queens: Yes, and they're retiring Keith Hernandez's number today.
	♥ 12:18pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Handy Thanks, I'll look into that, too. Trying not to cram too much into our days. My son and I are walkers, so I figure time spent walking will be time well spent.
	♥ 12:18pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, I was at the Circle Jerks show at Irving Plaza. Rescheduled from April.
	12:19pm Bob: I'm hoping they get added to the Nick show here in August. I'd like to see some new bands that play cool stuff.
	12:19pm clarke: wow! who dey play?? (i could look this up).
	12:19pm rx scabin: Good afternoon, Michael and Everyone.
	♥ 12:19pm Listener Baby: Turtles albums cuts are stellar! Love that dry vocal.
	♥ 12:20pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, they play Miami today.
	12:20pm clarke: BABY!!!! : baby
	12:20pm clarke: marlins are hot!!
	♥ 12:20pm Handy Haversack: Nice! Bikini Kill is there tonight, which I'm now regretting not getting tix for. Yeah, Geoffrey, it's a city that rewards walkers! You can walk over the Brooklyn Bridge, get some food, and take a ferry back if you want.
	♥ 12:21pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, the are. They split the first two games of this series. I was there for Thursday night's blowout win.
	12:21pm clarke: nice, man!!!
	♥ 12:22pm Listener Baby: Hi Clarke!,
	12:22pm clarke: Baby - how's our favorite camp counselor??
	12:22pm dday: @clarke: Read "A View from the Bottom" by Harvey Brooks, or "The Individualist" by Todd Rundgren to get a better feel for Grossman's "management style." All that was missing was the mob.
	♥ 12:23pm Listener Baby: Dirty, I’ll bet. Comes home for 24 hours tomorrow. Don’t know how she does it.
	♥ 12:23pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Handy Have you seen the movie "The Street?" I think that's what it's called. I like your Brooklyn Bridge idea, too.
	12:24pm clarke: i know he was aggressive, Dday, but as far as stealing money from his artists?? dunno bout that. i would like to read both books, tho.
	♥ 12:24pm HyperDose: Blotto!
	♥ 12:24pm Listener Baby: #1 Hit, this one.
	12:25pm clarke: Baby, i was wondering how the hell i worked on a golf course in the midst of summer heat - simple. i was YOUNG!!
	12:25pm dday: @clarke: they are both good reads. I'm a friend of Harvey's since the late 70's. His book lays it out pretty good. I'm sure Al Kooper has some choice tales to tell as well.
	♥ 12:26pm Handy Haversack: Just goes to show how good alcohol is for you! Geoffrey, no, don't think so. The 2019 doc or the 1976 short?
	12:26pm clarke: i've read one of Kooper's books.
	12:27pm clarke: Game-Changers For Children
	12:28pm dday: @Clarke: which one? I'd like to add that to my list. He & Harvey were childhood friends. Al screwed Harvey over so many times they haven't spoken in years.
	12:28pm clarke: (that is not the title of the book)
	12:28pm clarke: uhhh, ______ Dreams, i think??
	♥ 12:29pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Handy A recent movie. Sheila B. recommended it during the heart of the pandemic. I did a quick search just now and couldn't find it, but I'll keep looking. Definitely a move for walkers.
	12:29pm dday: Backstabbers & Backstage Passes? I have that on my list. :) :)
	12:29pm clarke: that's the one, Dday!! it is really good.
	12:30pm clarke: but, it has been several decades since i read the thang.
	♥ 12:31pm HyperDose: 🌊🎸🥁
	12:32pm dday: Cool @ Clarke. As soon as I finish "The Real Frank Zappa Book" coming next week, I'll get that one by Kooper. It's fun to see how the stories intertwine & change depending on who's telling them. Some heady days for those early guys. I knew quite a few of them. Just lucky I guess. Usually somewhere in the middle is the truth :)
	12:33pm clarke: based on what i've heard here, don't want to see the Elvis movie, but i can TESTIFY for the validity of the Sex Pistols series - it is just done SO VERY well!!
	♥ 12:34pm HyperDose: I want that Hot Rats boxed set
	♥ 12:35pm Handy Haversack: Wow, clarke, I hated the Sex Pistols show -- and I'm a huge Danny Boyle fan.
	12:35pm clarke: maybe the guy playing johnny rotten is not close in looks, but he's a good actor.
	12:35pm dday: @Clarke: never was an Elvis fan. More my parents generation. For me it's as Mott the Hoople sang "Born Late 58"
	12:36pm clarke: things i liked about it Handy: 1) they get the gear SO dead-on perfect, 2) they filmed on the actual sites as much as they could, 3) the guy playing jonesy is really good.
	12:37pm clarke: @dday, i am A HUGE elvis fan - which is why i don't want to see the movie!
	12:37pm clarke: P. Best - nuthin' but #1's!!!
	12:38pm Baby: Baby. Pete Best on Letternan is painfully great. Post if you can find it.
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gittar Tuners woulda ruined this.
	♥ 12:38pm HyperDose: Best on Letterman: www.youtube.com...
	12:38pm egould: Was there a “bagpipe” setting on the organ?
	12:39pm clarke: arf arf!!
	♥ 12:39pm Handy Haversack: I hear you, clarke. I just hated the writing. And using Chrissie Hynde just for sex scenes.
	12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx HyperD.
	12:40pm clarke: actually handy, i could go on about what i liked. one of them was that the studio shown recording in - the actual one!
	♥ 12:40pm Frank In Queens: It is a wonderful song.
	12:41pm clarke: I'm Not Like Everybody Else
	♥ 12:41pm Frank In Queens: The Swedish version as well, I believe.
	♥ 12:41pm Frank In Queens: A vocal harmony to die for.
	12:41pm adam: sounds like Simon and Garfunkel
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Who is Mr. Sondberg ...& did he work for Grossman.
	12:43pm Mister Dobalina: That was nice.
	12:43pm clarke: nice skip!!
	12:43pm gf2002: Just kicking down the cobblestones Looking for fun and feeling groovy
	♥ 12:44pm myron feld: Against all expectations, I actually liked "Pistol." I subsequently read Jones' book upon which it is based and enjoyed that as well, although the recovery chapters drag a bit.
	12:44pm clarke: where hath the time goneth?? lordeee. fun-powered radio fer sure, here, time to hunt down some breakfast.
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm the boy about town that you heard of ...it's more than you can hope for in this world.
	12:45pm clarke: need to read that, now, myron.
	12:48pm clarke: also, Myron, thanks for the pointer - skim thru the later chapters. i wish someone had said skim the middle of From Here To Eternity. which lasts.. an eternity!
	12:49pm clarke: rex always walks in WHILE mike is on mic. hmm.
	12:50pm HungryFreak: Finally, like 10 years of listening to finally hear the Ray Barretto track. OK I can go now.
	12:50pm Andres: This tune a deep shade of GOLD!!
	12:51pm clarke: @Andres - i went and got a crew cut, anyway.
	12:51pm phat in lincoln: "Deeper Shade of Soul" is still one of the hippest records ever made.
	12:51pm HungryFreak: I've run into Ray on the street more often than on Mike's show!
