Fri. 7/4/14 3:13pm Chris M.:

now taking bets: who will win in this colossal fight to the finish, this dj battle of epic proportions: the incumbent Kurt Gottschalk or the insurgent Rich Hazelton? vote now and help to decide the fate of all mankind listening to this show.

wow julius eastman.
thanks for the alt 4th, whilst(?! just slipped out, am in an international mood) just not so into the usa. I'm cleaning the apt and enjoying the cool windy nyc day from the wide open windows. And no family obligations or group bbq boredom...though I am probably the boring one not into drinking and shouting about futbol.
Love the rain and esp the thunderstorms; nyc foliage is so lush this year.
looking forward to rest of show tho not so into hearing the Ives, Cohen- but for the sake of cultural history why not?
Patriotic? Can I handle the rest of the show? I love both your shows in general so will hang in..

Fri. 7/4/14 3:30pm Caryn:

Loving this.

🎃 Fri. 7/4/14 3:31pm PGB:

Jethro was Jed's nephew!

Fri. 7/4/14 3:31pm SeanG:

Yee HAw!

Fri. 7/4/14 3:32pm Caryn:

2nd set of the show is definitely kicking ass so far.

🎃 Fri. 7/4/14 3:33pm Sem Chumbo:

Is this the start of the Hank Snow special I've been waiting for?

🎃 Fri. 7/4/14 3:40pm Sem Chumbo:

So, Hank Snow---or his replicant--IS on the playlist!
Nice one, Kurt.

Fri. 7/4/14 3:42pm Caryn:

I love that Gibson wrote this himself.

Fri. 7/4/14 3:44pm Dave in PA:

Happy 4th Everybody!

Fri. 7/4/14 3:48pm Caryn:

Sesquicentennial is the 150th anniversary. 250th would be the sestercentennial.

Fri. 7/4/14 3:51pm Dave in PA:

What is he playing that geetar with - a nickel?

Fri. 7/4/14 3:53pm Marc Garber:

I thought sestercentennial was when your female sibling turned 100.

Fri. 7/4/14 3:53pm Kurt Gottschalk:

dave, ha! hard telling. i remember he used a she-ra action figure shield for a long time.

caryn, thanks!

hi everyone

Fri. 7/4/14 3:54pm Dave in PA:

feminism in action (figure)

Fri. 7/4/14 3:57pm Marc:

Didn't Chadbourne do one about racist Greensboro politician Billy Yow getting a golden shower?

🎃 Fri. 7/4/14 4:11pm Fuzzy:

Nice rainy-day American Music -- diggin' it!

Fri. 7/4/14 4:14pm James:

Woody Guthrie is just what i was about to call in to request. His music is the epitome of what patriotic music should be. He was both equally critical as he was proud to be an American.

Fri. 7/4/14 4:19pm Marc:

"You're A Grand Ole Flag." By George M. Cohan. What's more patriotic than our flag?

Fri. 7/4/14 4:23pm James:

If we can hear Pete Seegers version of Ode to Joy, that would be phenomenal.

Fri. 7/4/14 4:24pm Caryn:

I'm seconding the Seeger request!

Fri. 7/4/14 4:35pm Caryn:

Hmm, now that we've had 2 Leonard Bernstein appearances, I wonder if there will be a third? What with "Songfest" and "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue", there's still some America-themed Bernstein to go.

Fri. 7/4/14 4:41pm Dave in PA:

I remember about 25 years ago hearing a radio program that I think was put together by a DJ with an American theme - mostly music from the 60s/70s - and I heard it more than once over the years - but I would have a hard time pinpointing it now - anyone have a clue what I am talking about?

Fri. 7/4/14 4:41pm Carmichael:

Heya Kurt, happy 4th to ya. Long time no listen ...

Fri. 7/4/14 4:44pm Dave in PA:

Bernstein was *not* a "bear" - discuss...

Fri. 7/4/14 4:44pm Caryn:

@Dave: but was he a stein?

🎃 Fri. 7/4/14 4:45pm ranjit:

It's rally round the flag! Charles Ives sings They Are There:

Fri. 7/4/14 4:48pm Carmichael:

@Dave: perhaps Stan Freburg? He had a lot of comedy-based Americana stuff.

Fri. 7/4/14 4:51pm Dave in PA:

My memories are soo fuzzy now... damn you, ethanol!

🎃 Fri. 7/4/14 4:53pm Fuzzy:

I'm sorry...

Fri. 7/4/14 4:55pm Eric the Half a Bee:

God, remember going to a Yes concert at Roosevelt Field right in your ('FMU) hometown, with Yes version of America you played blaring on the car stereo as I drove up the Turnpike. And MX-80 Sound; have always enjoyed their entry on the Ralph Records sampler released when writer of Left my Heart in San Francisco passed away.

Fri. 7/4/14 4:58pm Caryn:

Aw, put the Meat Puppets on the playlist! How am I supposed to star them if they're not there?

Fri. 7/4/14 5:00pm Caryn:

Yay, thanks guys!

Fri. 7/4/14 5:01pm andy the painter:

may I suggest "democracy is coming (to the USA)" by mr L Cohen?

I think the title track to an album from the nineties?

happy fourth! thanks!

Fri. 7/4/14 5:10pm Eric the Half a Bee:

Damn, dude, James Blood: ya killin! America, do you remember the love? Next you'll be spinning Ornette's Skies over America...

Fri. 7/4/14 5:13pm dc waters:

This sounds like some activity that is not eating.

Fri. 7/4/14 5:23pm rw:

Enjoying the balance of good vs. evil USA in the broadcast today. Thanks guys!
Remember: light fuse and get away!

Fri. 7/4/14 5:23pm Carmichael:

Baby backs just went on the bbq. Everyone is welcome in about 3 hours.

Fri. 7/4/14 5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Freburg !
...'American Ruse' by MC5 comes to mind
...my 4th comp.s have included (from lack of resources as much as anything, I suppose):
- 'No More Kings' from Schoolhouse Rock (or Tribute thereof - Ween!)
...'American Music' by Blasters (& *their* version of '4th of July')
...'There's a Wall' by Dar Williams
...lessee - what else...

Fri. 7/4/14 5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...'Power & Glory' by Phil Ochs is a kicker...

Fri. 7/4/14 5:27pm dc waters:

A happy slave market song ... now I've heard everything.

Fri. 7/4/14 5:27pm rw:

Hey Carmichael, what's your address?
I can bring some beer and potato salad.

Fri. 7/4/14 5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

freemusicarchive.org...

Fri. 7/4/14 5:34pm Santos L Halper:

@RRN63: I think Pavement did the No More Kings on that (and did it well). That and orig Schoolhouse Rock were on my kids players a lot a couple years back.

Fri. 7/4/14 5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- oh yeah - Ween did 'Shot Heard Round the World' - !...

Fri. 7/4/14 5:39pm dc waters:

Who knew the senior advisor to the POTUS was a Decca artist in '72?

Fri. 7/4/14 5:42pm dc waters:

Let me count the ways ...

Fri. 7/4/14 5:44pm dc waters:

"All ovah the woild..."

Fri. 7/4/14 5:51pm listener monica:

aloha!

Fri. 7/4/14 5:52pm Dan from Augusta:

Hello!

Fri. 7/4/14 5:52pm dc waters:

Who knew that Glenda Pari(s) track was released five years before the Norman conquest of England?

Fri. 7/4/14 5:54pm Dan from Augusta:

Who's up next at 6?

Fri. 7/4/14 5:55pm dc waters:

Happy trails and go 4th to all! Be safe. And thanks for the fine sets I heard.

Fri. 7/4/14 5:55pm Caryn:

@dc waters: yep, when the Polynesians sailed from South America to the Easter Islands in 1062, they brought with them yams and a copy of the Stars & Stripes Forver Meringue.

Fri. 7/4/14 5:56pm dc waters:

@caryn: I did not know that. [Carson tie adjustment]

Fri. 7/4/14 5:59pm Caryn:

@dc waters: I'm now going to imagine you standing there in a light suit and with impeccable posture.

Fri. 7/4/14 5:59pm dc waters:

Our anthem as dirge. Apropos from time to time.

Fri. 7/4/14 6:00pm dale:

very appropriate as our nation is slowly dying.

Fri. 7/4/14 6:00pm Caryn:

Oh lord, a number from the Rocky musical is on tv. Switching to the movie of the evening.

Fri. 7/4/14 6:01pm dc waters:

G'night!
