	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Funky16Corners: Chresti! Franco!
	🥁 ♥ 10:04pm Erica: I was wondering what this theme was about. I'm guessing it's about getting drunk.
	♥ 10:04pm chresti: *for songs

	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Erica: Smoking too Larry?
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Funky16Corners: Oddly, no. I'll keep that in mind for volume 2
	10:08pm Dean: Am I the only person who suspects that the effect of cannabis is placebo?
	♥ 10:09pm Franco Twinkie: Are you serious?
	🥁 ♥ 10:09pm Funky16Corners: I think you might be.
	♥ 10:10pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry and all
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	🥁 ♥ 10:11pm Funky16Corners: Didja ever think you'd hear Bo Diddley sing about LSD?
	🥁 ♥ 10:12pm Erica: No but I heard that Chubby Checker got stoned in the bathroom.
	♥ 10:13pm Franco Twinkie: In your bathroom?
	♥ 10:13pm coelacanth∅: well, i got through what will likely be a significant % of my life without suspecting Fats Domino would sing about heroin...
	♥ 10:13pm chresti: I was just thinking about that Ink Spots'song
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm Funky16Corners: Frankie Avalon's bathroom, with Dick Clark and Fabian...
	10:13pm Dean: Completely serious.
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm Erica: www.bing.com...
	♥ 10:14pm coelacanth∅: what a great song!
	🥁 ♥ 10:14pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I love the Ink Spots!
	♥ 10:14pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, when was the last time you smoked weed?
	10:16pm Dean: More than forty years ago. Never amounted to anything. Besides, I don't enjoy inhaling smoke.
	🥁 ♥ 10:16pm Funky16Corners: I haven't smoked in YEARS (maybe decades?) but I remember it being quite potent.
	🥁 ♥ 10:17pm Erica: Seriously Larry, will you consider adding "Stoned in the Bathroom" in the show?
	🥁 ♥ 10:17pm Erica: If not this episode, a follow up of it?
	10:17pm Dean: Once, I seem to recall we did angel dust, which isn't marijuana, of course. Even then, no effect. Just a hypothesis. Would love to test it rigorously.
	🥁 ♥ 10:17pm Funky16Corners: I don't have it on hand, but I will get it for the future.
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm Erica: Cool thanks Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm Funky16Corners: No probs
	♥ 10:19pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, That's fine, but as you know, today the stuff tends to be, well a little on the strong side.
	♥ 10:20pm coelacanth∅: there probably are in fact people who have a physiological block to the effects of certain, many or most mind-altering substances.
	♥ 10:20pm chresti: Are you one of the few that don't feel any effect from pot? Or maybe you had alfalfa instead@Dean
	10:20pm Dean: Yeah, but strong x zero = ???
	♥ 10:21pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m listening Larry but not feeling so great as of the last hour. Hope everyone else is doing well.
	♥ 10:22pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, was it something you ate?
	♥ 10:24pm Matt from New Orleans: Could be. I was in the shower and got overheated and felt lightheaded. Not sure if what happened after was due to something I ate or not.
	🥁 ♥ 10:25pm Erica: Thankfully I chose not to intoxicate myself, especially since my stomach couldn't handle it.
	♥ 10:26pm chresti: Right@coel, they don't metabolize certain drugs, or have an antagonist in their system
	♥ 10:28pm Franco Twinkie: There is nothing like making an ass of yourself while totally plastered to make you check yourself while socializing.
	🥁 ♥ 10:28pm Funky16Corners: Hey Matt, I hope you're ok.
	♥ 10:28pm coelacanth∅: Matt maybe some fresh lemon juice and water would help? (or gatoraid; or best of all lemon-ginger-echinacea juice...)
	🥁 ♥ 10:29pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - It's the folks that don't realize they're making an ass out of themselves that you have to watch out for
	🥁 ♥ 10:29pm Funky16Corners: What C said. Lots of fluids.
	♥ 10:30pm chresti: Sounds like you need spritzer with what coel said, Matt, and an asprin
	🥁 ♥ 10:34pm Funky16Corners: This little gem, co-written and produced by Barry White
	♥ 10:34pm chresti: I've never seen you drunk, Franco
	🥁 ♥ 10:34pm Funky16Corners: With Felice sounding A LOT like Diana Ross
	♥ 10:35pm Franco Twinkie: Quite awhile ago I stopped getting high at parties because I could never accurately gauge the nuances of conversation. Back in the day, I would always wonder after the fact, if I had stepped over the line. Now I always know who was the guilty party.
	♥ 10:35pm chresti: The same only different @Larry
	🥁 ♥ 10:37pm Funky16Corners: My wife has definitely seen me drunk. Fortunately I am a happy drunk. As are my brothers, until you mess with is in a public setting, at which point we will be happy to take you outside (or at least we were when we were younger).
	♥ 10:37pm coelacanth∅: many times people have said i've never seen you drunk. and i always laugh and say oh yes you have! ...sometimes oh yes you have, many times!
	🥁 ♥ 10:38pm Jeff Ash: This cooks!
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Jeff Ash: As does this!
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - You know this, but never sleep on any of those early 70s Eddie Kendricks albums!
	♥ 10:39pm chresti: Me, I say, you've never seen me straight!
	🥁 ♥ 10:40pm Jeff Ash: Although I've always preferred Ike and Tina's version of this.
	🥁 ♥ 10:41pm Funky16Corners: It is a good one!
	♥ 10:41pm coelacanth∅: Ike and Tina covered this?! i WILL find that
	♥ 10:41pm Franco Twinkie: Chresti likes her party favors.
	♥ 10:43pm Franco Twinkie: ....and I'm not talking about mixed nuts in a cupcake wrapper
	♥ 10:44pm coelacanth∅: haha
	♥ 10:44pm chresti: My placebo favors
	🥁 ♥ 10:45pm Funky16Corners: I think when my kids are grown and out on their own, when I'm in my late 60s, I may start to experiment with psychedelics again.
	🥁 ♥ 10:46pm Erica: Diggin' this Tremeloes song.
	🥁 ♥ 10:46pm Jeff Ash: @coelacanth It's on their "Come Together" LP from 1970. Also released as a single that year. Both on the Liberty label.
	♥ 10:48pm Franco Twinkie: I grew up next door to guys who were dealing heroin. When I saw kids I knew from school over there, I knew they were in trouble.
	♥ 10:48pm coelacanth∅: the one rule i set for myself early on in my career as a professional celebrator is that i don't mix different substances. i like getting buzzed-drunk (but not hammered) and getting high but to do both i just get fucked up and i do not want that. (i applied this as well when i occasionally did other things too, besides alcohol and herb)
	♥ 10:49pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Jeff!
	♥ 10:50pm coelacanth∅: yeah Franco i know several people on the horse; and did know several more.
	🥁 ♥ 10:51pm Funky16Corners: I didn't get high until I was almost out of high school, but I made up for lost time over the next 5 or so years. I honestly don't have the energy for it anymore. I get a lift discovering new music, reading and cooking, so I guess, bury me now?
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm doctorjazz: Cool cover of Just Dropped In...! Oh, and hi all!
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm Funky16Corners: That should say 15 (cough) years...
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm Jeff Ash: Lots of fun covers of "Just Dropped In." Another good one is by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.
	♥ 10:54pm chresti: that's a good rule, if I drink, it can't be mixed, and with cheeseballs@coel
	🥁 ♥ 10:54pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc! This is not technically a cover, though it's not the first recording. This is the guy that wrote it, Mickey Newbury. Jerry Lee Lewis recorded it first, then the First Edition.
	♥ 10:55pm coelacanth∅: for a few decades i smoked <twice/year; but now i smoke to get high maybe once/month. and every night when i'm home, but not enough to get high...just to help sleep.
	🥁 ♥ 10:58pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - That Sharon Jones cover of Just Dropped In is great!
	♥ 10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Larry, this afternoon I went over to the place we use to live to pick figs. Afterwards I hung out with some former neighbors and discussed the possibility of tripping again. For me it kind of hard to say yes, no or maybe. Once Chresti and I were at a party in Topanga Canyon and this guy showed up with a bag of acid. He gave me a few hits, I put them in the freezer when I got home and then forgot all about it.
	♥ 10:59pm coelacanth∅: chresti, "cheeseballs"?! ...and i will go back on that to say if i ever smoked too much, (which would be very little for me) -which hasn't happened in a decade or 2, an alcoholic beverage would help bring me to earth again. but never the other way 'round.
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Erica: I'm back. Had to clean up my space.
	11:01pm Dean: Mr. Smoketoomuch
	♥ 11:02pm coelacanth∅: Franco i've done that! not with acid, but with some dark brown chunks of something. i'm not in touch with the person who i think gave it to me so i don't know what it is or what to do with it!
	♥ 11:04pm chresti: sounds like hash
	♥ 11:05pm chresti: I used to be a chainsmoker, it runs in the family
	11:06pm still b/p: Smoke...too...much. You're right. Never noticed before. Listened recently to a couple younger adults repeatedly getting deep deep into their shared affinity, quotes, trivia, etc, related to Sponge Bob episodes., and it occurred to me that in an earlier day for lots of guys, maybe girls, too, Python was a comparable well to keep going back to.
	🥁 ♥ 11:06pm Funky16Corners: hey sbp!
	🥁 ♥ 11:07pm Funky16Corners: Oddly enough, smoking cigarettes is one vice I never got into
	♥ 11:07pm Franco Twinkie: A friend of mine makes hash. He figured if people who live in mud huts can do it, so could he!
	11:08pm Dean: I'd like to think that by now Monty Python has achieved transcendence, but perhaps it's still too early.
	♥ 11:09pm coelacanth∅: i was just going to say if i was told it's hash i would not have accepted it. - nothing against hash or the effect of it, except the coughing and chest pain! i won't smoke it. - it's got to be either cannabis or mushroom related though.
	♥ 11:10pm chresti: Monty Python, Laugh-in..
	♥ 11:10pm Franco Twinkie: Kaleidoscope, the ultimate Pasadena stoner band!
	♥ 11:10pm chresti: Is square pants a cartoon?
	🥁 ♥ 11:11pm Funky16Corners: I loved to watch SCTV while stoned.
	🥁 ♥ 11:12pm doctorjazz: THC definitely affects different people differently...me, I get anxious, definitely has an effect, but not one I enjoy (interestingly, that wasn't the case at first, but after a while it was the regular response). Had to do with genetics and predispositions...I've known some to become schizophrenic, others who've smoked for 40 years and still enjoy it.
	♥ 11:12pm chresti: I've been so high on placebos, I completely missed sponge pants.
	♥ 11:12pm coelacanth∅: i've never wanted to watch tv when i got high.
	🥁 ♥ 11:12pm Funky16Corners: I stopped mainly because it was upping my anxiety
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm Erica: Spongebob has been on TV for 20 years now and chresti asks if it's a a cartoon?
	♥ 11:13pm coelacanth∅: chresti haha!
	♥ 11:14pm Franco Twinkie: I went to Nepal and had the best hash ever. Even though I developed a cold, I just couldn't stop smoking the stuff!
	♥ 11:14pm chresti: Nowadays, you can fine tune your bud @Larry
	🥁 ♥ 11:14pm Funky16Corners: That's what I hear!
	🥁 ♥ 11:15pm doctorjazz: True, you can even Gerry cannabinoids without THC.
	♥ 11:15pm Franco Twinkie: It was soft like cookie dough.
	♥ 11:15pm chresti: CBD cuts down the anxiety from THC
	🥁 ♥ 11:17pm doctorjazz: (...get cannabinoids, that is...) They seem to be of use for TREATING anxiety and depression (the non THC versions), some psychiatrists are recommending them.
	🥁 ♥ 11:18pm doctorjazz: And there are companies selling CBD "straight", so to speak.
	♥ 11:18pm Franco Twinkie: My sister made me a CBD spritzer last Saturday. After the best nap, I was pain free....for about six hours.
	🥁 ♥ 11:18pm Erica: The definition of hippie music.
	♥ 11:19pm chresti: I'm still learning, micro doses, is the thing, too, I hear, with the THCs
	♥ 11:19pm coelacanth∅: actually i did enjoy cartoons a few times back in the day, whilst stoned. one was set to the music of side 2 of Jerry Garcia's first album (spidergawd etc). maybe i was tripping.
	🥁 ♥ 11:19pm Funky16Corners: My wife has suggested trying CBD for my chronic pain
	🥁 ♥ 11:21pm doctorjazz: Worth a try, Larry...Charlotte's Web is supposed to be a reliable company.
	11:21pm still b/p: There's a well-established coffee multi-shop and roaster company around here called Coffee By Design, often self-and-popularly called CBD. So, yeah, they've got some complications and confusion these days. People calling for the wrong product. I believe they sued someone selling the oil products from another region for a commercial name that infringed.
	♥ 11:21pm Franco Twinkie: Do it, Larry. We'll compare notes.
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm Funky16Corners: I will look into it!
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm doctorjazz: (Since it's a "supplement" rather than a medication, outs not FDA regulated, so you often done actually know what you're getting)
	♥ 11:22pm coelacanth∅: the hit i take at bedtime is a micro dose. not technically, but it really is. if i see smoke when i exhale i may have taken too much.
	11:22pm Dean: I'm a fan of 1) physical therapy, and 2) reading. Lots of 2, especially. Even overdosing on 2.
	♥ 11:23pm chresti: It's,(cbd), expensive, getting a medical card and an RX might help
	11:24pm Dean: Almost forgot: 3) gin. This is Buffy St. Marie's tune? Man does a great live version with Cippolina.
	🥁 ♥ 11:25pm Funky16Corners: @Dean - Yes. Charlatans do a great version, too
	🥁 ♥ 11:27pm Erica: No electric prunes?
	🥁 ♥ 11:28pm doctorjazz: I think it depends on the state you're in...dispensories and prescriptions are easily obtainable in some, difficult in others (NY and Jersey fall into the latter category so far)
	🥁 ♥ 11:28pm Funky16Corners: Not tonight
	♥ 11:29pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, I read constantly and my knee is still totally fucked up. Can you suggest a book that'll let me forget my pain?
	🥁 ♥ 11:29pm Erica: Oh well.
	♥ 11:29pm coelacanth∅: i wonder how Matt's doing
	🥁 ♥ 11:30pm Erica: I figured "I Had Too Much to Drink Last Night" would fit the show perfectly. Maybe next time.
	🥁 ♥ 11:30pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, Matt, if you're still with us, check in.
	♥ 11:30pm coelacanth∅: ...yeah i read every night before sleep and still awaken in pain in the morning. am i reading wrong?
	♥ 11:31pm Franco Twinkie: The Man version of Codine is way over the top, but I like the cover of the album.
	11:32pm Dean: I like the Man version of "Codine" because of the cover. Reading that kills pain? You could do worse than Boswell's Life of Johnson.
	🥁 ♥ 11:32pm Funky16Corners: From the days when you could get off on over the counter cough syrup
	♥ 11:33pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ve just been zoned out listening. Afraid to move from where I’ve been. I’m feeling better now.
	🥁 ♥ 11:34pm Funky16Corners: Excellent!
	♥ 11:34pm coelacanth∅: glad you checked in
	🥁 ♥ 11:36pm doctorjazz: Love this Van Rink! (Saw him do it in some Village clubback in the day)
	♥ 11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Ha! Boswell. Yes, I like the part about fucking the whore until she sqweaks.
	11:38pm Dean: To each his own.
	♥ 11:39pm Franco Twinkie: High art - low comedy.
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm Jeff Ash: Dave Van Ronk played a few gigs at a little tavern in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, when I was going to college there in the late '70s. He was in his 40s at the time. I was clueless and never went to see him.
	11:40pm Dean: If you're gonna play VU, you gotta play The Osmonds "Crazy Horses"!
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm doctorjazz: The best tune (Heroin), with some of the worst drumming/drum sound ever.
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm Funky16Corners: That's Mo!
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm Funky16Corners: @Dean - I do not and you can't make me! (maybe another time, though...)
	♥ 11:42pm coelacanth∅: haha. Mo tucker made sucking at her instrument revolutionary!
	🥁 ♥ 11:43pm Funky16Corners: I'm friends with her son on Facebook (completely unrelated to the VU). He's a nice guy.
	♥ 11:44pm coelacanth∅: ...but you could play everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey by Fats! (or not...but it is really good)
	♥ 11:44pm Franco Twinkie: This really resonated with me the first time I heard it in 1968. Next door they were shooting up. My mom squirt the hose over the fence at them while they were tying off. This voice came over the wall that said "Hey lady, don't water over here, we're working." We still say that and crack up!
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Erica: Ow! My ears.
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Erica: And to think 1969 was an experimental year in rock.
	🥁 ♥ 11:46pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - That's funny!
	♥ 11:46pm coelacanth∅: i'm curious how you came to be facebook friends with Mo Tucker's son ...i know it's not my business.
	11:46pm Dean: Oooh, this makes me think of Kiri Te Kanawa doing Cole Porter's "Cocaine." Or the bit from Blazing Saddles.
	🥁 ♥ 11:47pm Funky16Corners: @C - He's a fan of the soul show I do. I only found out about his Mom way after the fact (last name's not Tucker)
	🥁 ♥ 11:47pm doctorjazz: Chet and Bley, never heard this, really nice!
	🥁 ♥ 11:48pm Funky16Corners: This is old, busted up Chet, yet still compelling.
	♥ 11:48pm coelacanth∅: that's cool
	11:48pm Dean: Er, "I Get a Kick out of You."
	🥁 ♥ 11:48pm Funky16Corners: That too
	🥁 ♥ 11:49pm doctorjazz: 1985, that was way past his matinee idol days.
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, you can hear his false teeth in the way he sings, but he had gotten some of his trumpet chops back.
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm doctorjazz: @Coel, isn't that Fats cover on Uncle Michael's premium?
	11:51pm Dean: Wow...in fact, Kiri might not have recorded "I Get a Kick..." I just felt like I'd heard it some time ago.
	🥁 ♥ 11:51pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure. I think I've played it here before.
	♥ 11:52pm coelacanth∅: dr. i think so. but yeah i think i first heard it on testify!
	♥ 11:52pm Matt from New Orleans: Thank you everyone. Larry you helped me recover. Have a great night.
	🥁 ♥ 11:53pm doctorjazz: Thanks Larry, kept me from getting some stuff done, but it was fun!
	11:54pm Dean: OED finds "strung out" in this sense in 1959!
	🥁 ♥ 11:55pm nostrangerer: Just in time to see what I missed hearing. Will listen from the archive. Interesting show.
	♥ 11:55pm chresti: Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Jeff Ash: Thanks, Larry! Great show!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Erica: Great theme Larry. Sorry about the requests and lack of chat.
	♥ 11:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! have a good night everyone
	11:58pm still b/p: Only quaffed/huffed second half of show, but even the shorter pour/puff had its effect and was glad to be under its influence. Thank you.
	11:58pm Dean: Dug it!
	♥ 11:58pm Franco Twinkie: I did dig it. Thank you.
	🥁 ♥ 11:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all!
	🥁 ♥ 11:59pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Not a problem!
	🥁 ♥ 11:59pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - Feel better!
	🥁 ♥ 11:59pm Funky16Corners: @Nostragerer - Hi/Bye!

	♥ 10:03pm Franco Twinkie: What did you do there? I Got HIIIIIIIIIIGGGGHHHH!!!!!!
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Funky16Corners: Chresti! Franco!
	🥁 ♥ 10:04pm Erica: I was wondering what this theme was about. I'm guessing it's about getting drunk.
	♥ 10:04pm chresti: *for songs
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - drunk, high, high on love etc. Intoxication, literal and figurative
	♥ 10:05pm chresti: Hi!
	10:05pm Dean: Keats, for example.
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm Funky16Corners: Dean!
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Erica: Smoking too Larry?
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Funky16Corners: Oddly, no. I'll keep that in mind for volume 2
	10:08pm Dean: Am I the only person who suspects that the effect of cannabis is placebo?
	♥ 10:09pm Franco Twinkie: Are you serious?
	🥁 ♥ 10:09pm Funky16Corners: I think you might be.
	♥ 10:10pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry and all
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	🥁 ♥ 10:11pm Funky16Corners: Didja ever think you'd hear Bo Diddley sing about LSD?
	🥁 ♥ 10:12pm Erica: No but I heard that Chubby Checker got stoned in the bathroom.
	♥ 10:13pm Franco Twinkie: In your bathroom?
	♥ 10:13pm coelacanth∅: well, i got through what will likely be a significant % of my life without suspecting Fats Domino would sing about heroin...
	♥ 10:13pm chresti: I was just thinking about that Ink Spots'song
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm Funky16Corners: Frankie Avalon's bathroom, with Dick Clark and Fabian...
	10:13pm Dean: Completely serious.
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm Erica: www.bing.com...
	♥ 10:14pm coelacanth∅: what a great song!
	🥁 ♥ 10:14pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I love the Ink Spots!
	♥ 10:14pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, when was the last time you smoked weed?
	10:16pm Dean: More than forty years ago. Never amounted to anything. Besides, I don't enjoy inhaling smoke.
	🥁 ♥ 10:16pm Funky16Corners: I haven't smoked in YEARS (maybe decades?) but I remember it being quite potent.
	🥁 ♥ 10:17pm Erica: Seriously Larry, will you consider adding "Stoned in the Bathroom" in the show?
	🥁 ♥ 10:17pm Erica: If not this episode, a follow up of it?
	10:17pm Dean: Once, I seem to recall we did angel dust, which isn't marijuana, of course. Even then, no effect. Just a hypothesis. Would love to test it rigorously.
	🥁 ♥ 10:17pm Funky16Corners: I don't have it on hand, but I will get it for the future.
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm Erica: Cool thanks Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm Funky16Corners: No probs
	♥ 10:19pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, That's fine, but as you know, today the stuff tends to be, well a little on the strong side.
	♥ 10:20pm coelacanth∅: there probably are in fact people who have a physiological block to the effects of certain, many or most mind-altering substances.
	♥ 10:20pm chresti: Are you one of the few that don't feel any effect from pot? Or maybe you had alfalfa instead@Dean
	10:20pm Dean: Yeah, but strong x zero = ???
	♥ 10:21pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m listening Larry but not feeling so great as of the last hour. Hope everyone else is doing well.
	♥ 10:22pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, was it something you ate?
	♥ 10:24pm Matt from New Orleans: Could be. I was in the shower and got overheated and felt lightheaded. Not sure if what happened after was due to something I ate or not.
	🥁 ♥ 10:25pm Erica: Thankfully I chose not to intoxicate myself, especially since my stomach couldn't handle it.
	♥ 10:26pm chresti: Right@coel, they don't metabolize certain drugs, or have an antagonist in their system
	♥ 10:28pm Franco Twinkie: There is nothing like making an ass of yourself while totally plastered to make you check yourself while socializing.
	🥁 ♥ 10:28pm Funky16Corners: Hey Matt, I hope you're ok.
	♥ 10:28pm coelacanth∅: Matt maybe some fresh lemon juice and water would help? (or gatoraid; or best of all lemon-ginger-echinacea juice...)
	🥁 ♥ 10:29pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - It's the folks that don't realize they're making an ass out of themselves that you have to watch out for
	🥁 ♥ 10:29pm Funky16Corners: What C said. Lots of fluids.
	♥ 10:30pm chresti: Sounds like you need spritzer with what coel said, Matt, and an asprin
	🥁 ♥ 10:34pm Funky16Corners: This little gem, co-written and produced by Barry White
	♥ 10:34pm chresti: I've never seen you drunk, Franco
	🥁 ♥ 10:34pm Funky16Corners: With Felice sounding A LOT like Diana Ross
	♥ 10:35pm Franco Twinkie: Quite awhile ago I stopped getting high at parties because I could never accurately gauge the nuances of conversation. Back in the day, I would always wonder after the fact, if I had stepped over the line. Now I always know who was the guilty party.
	♥ 10:35pm chresti: The same only different @Larry
	🥁 ♥ 10:37pm Funky16Corners: My wife has definitely seen me drunk. Fortunately I am a happy drunk. As are my brothers, until you mess with is in a public setting, at which point we will be happy to take you outside (or at least we were when we were younger).
	♥ 10:37pm coelacanth∅: many times people have said i've never seen you drunk. and i always laugh and say oh yes you have! ...sometimes oh yes you have, many times!
	🥁 ♥ 10:38pm Jeff Ash: This cooks!
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Jeff Ash: As does this!
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - You know this, but never sleep on any of those early 70s Eddie Kendricks albums!
	♥ 10:39pm chresti: Me, I say, you've never seen me straight!
	🥁 ♥ 10:40pm Jeff Ash: Although I've always preferred Ike and Tina's version of this.
	🥁 ♥ 10:41pm Funky16Corners: It is a good one!
	♥ 10:41pm coelacanth∅: Ike and Tina covered this?! i WILL find that
	♥ 10:41pm Franco Twinkie: Chresti likes her party favors.
	♥ 10:43pm Franco Twinkie: ....and I'm not talking about mixed nuts in a cupcake wrapper
	♥ 10:44pm coelacanth∅: haha
	♥ 10:44pm chresti: My placebo favors
	🥁 ♥ 10:45pm Funky16Corners: I think when my kids are grown and out on their own, when I'm in my late 60s, I may start to experiment with psychedelics again.
	🥁 ♥ 10:46pm Erica: Diggin' this Tremeloes song.
	🥁 ♥ 10:46pm Jeff Ash: @coelacanth It's on their "Come Together" LP from 1970. Also released as a single that year. Both on the Liberty label.
	♥ 10:48pm Franco Twinkie: I grew up next door to guys who were dealing heroin. When I saw kids I knew from school over there, I knew they were in trouble.
	♥ 10:48pm coelacanth∅: the one rule i set for myself early on in my career as a professional celebrator is that i don't mix different substances. i like getting buzzed-drunk (but not hammered) and getting high but to do both i just get fucked up and i do not want that. (i applied this as well when i occasionally did other things too, besides alcohol and herb)
	♥ 10:49pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Jeff!
	♥ 10:50pm coelacanth∅: yeah Franco i know several people on the horse; and did know several more.
	🥁 ♥ 10:51pm Funky16Corners: I didn't get high until I was almost out of high school, but I made up for lost time over the next 5 or so years. I honestly don't have the energy for it anymore. I get a lift discovering new music, reading and cooking, so I guess, bury me now?
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm doctorjazz: Cool cover of Just Dropped In...! Oh, and hi all!
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm Funky16Corners: That should say 15 (cough) years...
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm Jeff Ash: Lots of fun covers of "Just Dropped In." Another good one is by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.
	♥ 10:54pm chresti: that's a good rule, if I drink, it can't be mixed, and with cheeseballs@coel
	🥁 ♥ 10:54pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc! This is not technically a cover, though it's not the first recording. This is the guy that wrote it, Mickey Newbury. Jerry Lee Lewis recorded it first, then the First Edition.
	♥ 10:55pm coelacanth∅: for a few decades i smoked <twice/year; but now i smoke to get high maybe once/month. and every night when i'm home, but not enough to get high...just to help sleep.
	🥁 ♥ 10:58pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - That Sharon Jones cover of Just Dropped In is great!
	♥ 10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Larry, this afternoon I went over to the place we use to live to pick figs. Afterwards I hung out with some former neighbors and discussed the possibility of tripping again. For me it kind of hard to say yes, no or maybe. Once Chresti and I were at a party in Topanga Canyon and this guy showed up with a bag of acid. He gave me a few hits, I put them in the freezer when I got home and then forgot all about it.
	♥ 10:59pm coelacanth∅: chresti, "cheeseballs"?! ...and i will go back on that to say if i ever smoked too much, (which would be very little for me) -which hasn't happened in a decade or 2, an alcoholic beverage would help bring me to earth again. but never the other way 'round.
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Erica: I'm back. Had to clean up my space.
	11:01pm Dean: Mr. Smoketoomuch
	♥ 11:02pm coelacanth∅: Franco i've done that! not with acid, but with some dark brown chunks of something. i'm not in touch with the person who i think gave it to me so i don't know what it is or what to do with it!
	♥ 11:04pm chresti: sounds like hash
	♥ 11:05pm chresti: I used to be a chainsmoker, it runs in the family
	11:06pm still b/p: Smoke...too...much. You're right. Never noticed before. Listened recently to a couple younger adults repeatedly getting deep deep into their shared affinity, quotes, trivia, etc, related to Sponge Bob episodes., and it occurred to me that in an earlier day for lots of guys, maybe girls, too, Python was a comparable well to keep going back to.
	🥁 ♥ 11:06pm Funky16Corners: hey sbp!
	🥁 ♥ 11:07pm Funky16Corners: Oddly enough, smoking cigarettes is one vice I never got into
	♥ 11:07pm Franco Twinkie: A friend of mine makes hash. He figured if people who live in mud huts can do it, so could he!
	11:08pm Dean: I'd like to think that by now Monty Python has achieved transcendence, but perhaps it's still too early.
	♥ 11:09pm coelacanth∅: i was just going to say if i was told it's hash i would not have accepted it. - nothing against hash or the effect of it, except the coughing and chest pain! i won't smoke it. - it's got to be either cannabis or mushroom related though.
	♥ 11:10pm chresti: Monty Python, Laugh-in..
	♥ 11:10pm Franco Twinkie: Kaleidoscope, the ultimate Pasadena stoner band!
	♥ 11:10pm chresti: Is square pants a cartoon?
	🥁 ♥ 11:11pm Funky16Corners: I loved to watch SCTV while stoned.
	🥁 ♥ 11:12pm doctorjazz: THC definitely affects different people differently...me, I get anxious, definitely has an effect, but not one I enjoy (interestingly, that wasn't the case at first, but after a while it was the regular response). Had to do with genetics and predispositions...I've known some to become schizophrenic, others who've smoked for 40 years and still enjoy it.
	♥ 11:12pm chresti: I've been so high on placebos, I completely missed sponge pants.
	♥ 11:12pm coelacanth∅: i've never wanted to watch tv when i got high.
	🥁 ♥ 11:12pm Funky16Corners: I stopped mainly because it was upping my anxiety
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm Erica: Spongebob has been on TV for 20 years now and chresti asks if it's a a cartoon?
	♥ 11:13pm coelacanth∅: chresti haha!
	♥ 11:14pm Franco Twinkie: I went to Nepal and had the best hash ever. Even though I developed a cold, I just couldn't stop smoking the stuff!
	♥ 11:14pm chresti: Nowadays, you can fine tune your bud @Larry
	🥁 ♥ 11:14pm Funky16Corners: That's what I hear!
	🥁 ♥ 11:15pm doctorjazz: True, you can even Gerry cannabinoids without THC.
	♥ 11:15pm Franco Twinkie: It was soft like cookie dough.
	♥ 11:15pm chresti: CBD cuts down the anxiety from THC
	🥁 ♥ 11:17pm doctorjazz: (...get cannabinoids, that is...) They seem to be of use for TREATING anxiety and depression (the non THC versions), some psychiatrists are recommending them.
	🥁 ♥ 11:18pm doctorjazz: And there are companies selling CBD "straight", so to speak.
	♥ 11:18pm Franco Twinkie: My sister made me a CBD spritzer last Saturday. After the best nap, I was pain free....for about six hours.
	🥁 ♥ 11:18pm Erica: The definition of hippie music.
	♥ 11:19pm chresti: I'm still learning, micro doses, is the thing, too, I hear, with the THCs
	♥ 11:19pm coelacanth∅: actually i did enjoy cartoons a few times back in the day, whilst stoned. one was set to the music of side 2 of Jerry Garcia's first album (spidergawd etc). maybe i was tripping.
	🥁 ♥ 11:19pm Funky16Corners: My wife has suggested trying CBD for my chronic pain
	🥁 ♥ 11:21pm doctorjazz: Worth a try, Larry...Charlotte's Web is supposed to be a reliable company.
	11:21pm still b/p: There's a well-established coffee multi-shop and roaster company around here called Coffee By Design, often self-and-popularly called CBD. So, yeah, they've got some complications and confusion these days. People calling for the wrong product. I believe they sued someone selling the oil products from another region for a commercial name that infringed.
	♥ 11:21pm Franco Twinkie: Do it, Larry. We'll compare notes.
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm Funky16Corners: I will look into it!
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm doctorjazz: (Since it's a "supplement" rather than a medication, outs not FDA regulated, so you often done actually know what you're getting)
	♥ 11:22pm coelacanth∅: the hit i take at bedtime is a micro dose. not technically, but it really is. if i see smoke when i exhale i may have taken too much.
	11:22pm Dean: I'm a fan of 1) physical therapy, and 2) reading. Lots of 2, especially. Even overdosing on 2.
	♥ 11:23pm chresti: It's,(cbd), expensive, getting a medical card and an RX might help
	11:24pm Dean: Almost forgot: 3) gin. This is Buffy St. Marie's tune? Man does a great live version with Cippolina.
	🥁 ♥ 11:25pm Funky16Corners: @Dean - Yes. Charlatans do a great version, too
	🥁 ♥ 11:27pm Erica: No electric prunes?
	🥁 ♥ 11:28pm doctorjazz: I think it depends on the state you're in...dispensories and prescriptions are easily obtainable in some, difficult in others (NY and Jersey fall into the latter category so far)
	🥁 ♥ 11:28pm Funky16Corners: Not tonight
	♥ 11:29pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, I read constantly and my knee is still totally fucked up. Can you suggest a book that'll let me forget my pain?
	🥁 ♥ 11:29pm Erica: Oh well.
	♥ 11:29pm coelacanth∅: i wonder how Matt's doing
	🥁 ♥ 11:30pm Erica: I figured "I Had Too Much to Drink Last Night" would fit the show perfectly. Maybe next time.
	🥁 ♥ 11:30pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, Matt, if you're still with us, check in.
	♥ 11:30pm coelacanth∅: ...yeah i read every night before sleep and still awaken in pain in the morning. am i reading wrong?
	♥ 11:31pm Franco Twinkie: The Man version of Codine is way over the top, but I like the cover of the album.
	11:32pm Dean: I like the Man version of "Codine" because of the cover. Reading that kills pain? You could do worse than Boswell's Life of Johnson.
	🥁 ♥ 11:32pm Funky16Corners: From the days when you could get off on over the counter cough syrup
	♥ 11:33pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ve just been zoned out listening. Afraid to move from where I’ve been. I’m feeling better now.
	🥁 ♥ 11:34pm Funky16Corners: Excellent!
	♥ 11:34pm coelacanth∅: glad you checked in
	🥁 ♥ 11:36pm doctorjazz: Love this Van Rink! (Saw him do it in some Village clubback in the day)
	♥ 11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Ha! Boswell. Yes, I like the part about fucking the whore until she sqweaks.
	11:38pm Dean: To each his own.
	♥ 11:39pm Franco Twinkie: High art - low comedy.
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm Jeff Ash: Dave Van Ronk played a few gigs at a little tavern in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, when I was going to college there in the late '70s. He was in his 40s at the time. I was clueless and never went to see him.
	11:40pm Dean: If you're gonna play VU, you gotta play The Osmonds "Crazy Horses"!
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm doctorjazz: The best tune (Heroin), with some of the worst drumming/drum sound ever.
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm Funky16Corners: That's Mo!
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm Funky16Corners: @Dean - I do not and you can't make me! (maybe another time, though...)
	♥ 11:42pm coelacanth∅: haha. Mo tucker made sucking at her instrument revolutionary!
	🥁 ♥ 11:43pm Funky16Corners: I'm friends with her son on Facebook (completely unrelated to the VU). He's a nice guy.
	♥ 11:44pm coelacanth∅: ...but you could play everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey by Fats! (or not...but it is really good)
	♥ 11:44pm Franco Twinkie: This really resonated with me the first time I heard it in 1968. Next door they were shooting up. My mom squirt the hose over the fence at them while they were tying off. This voice came over the wall that said "Hey lady, don't water over here, we're working." We still say that and crack up!
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Erica: Ow! My ears.
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Erica: And to think 1969 was an experimental year in rock.
	🥁 ♥ 11:46pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - That's funny!
	♥ 11:46pm coelacanth∅: i'm curious how you came to be facebook friends with Mo Tucker's son ...i know it's not my business.
	11:46pm Dean: Oooh, this makes me think of Kiri Te Kanawa doing Cole Porter's "Cocaine." Or the bit from Blazing Saddles.
	🥁 ♥ 11:47pm Funky16Corners: @C - He's a fan of the soul show I do. I only found out about his Mom way after the fact (last name's not Tucker)
	🥁 ♥ 11:47pm doctorjazz: Chet and Bley, never heard this, really nice!
	🥁 ♥ 11:48pm Funky16Corners: This is old, busted up Chet, yet still compelling.
	♥ 11:48pm coelacanth∅: that's cool
	11:48pm Dean: Er, "I Get a Kick out of You."
	🥁 ♥ 11:48pm Funky16Corners: That too
	🥁 ♥ 11:49pm doctorjazz: 1985, that was way past his matinee idol days.
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, you can hear his false teeth in the way he sings, but he had gotten some of his trumpet chops back.
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm doctorjazz: @Coel, isn't that Fats cover on Uncle Michael's premium?
	11:51pm Dean: Wow...in fact, Kiri might not have recorded "I Get a Kick..." I just felt like I'd heard it some time ago.
	🥁 ♥ 11:51pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure. I think I've played it here before.
	♥ 11:52pm coelacanth∅: dr. i think so. but yeah i think i first heard it on testify!
	♥ 11:52pm Matt from New Orleans: Thank you everyone. Larry you helped me recover. Have a great night.
	🥁 ♥ 11:53pm doctorjazz: Thanks Larry, kept me from getting some stuff done, but it was fun!
	11:54pm Dean: OED finds "strung out" in this sense in 1959!
	🥁 ♥ 11:55pm nostrangerer: Just in time to see what I missed hearing. Will listen from the archive. Interesting show.
	♥ 11:55pm chresti: Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Jeff Ash: Thanks, Larry! Great show!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Erica: Great theme Larry. Sorry about the requests and lack of chat.
	♥ 11:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! have a good night everyone
	11:58pm still b/p: Only quaffed/huffed second half of show, but even the shorter pour/puff had its effect and was glad to be under its influence. Thank you.
	11:58pm Dean: Dug it!
	♥ 11:58pm Franco Twinkie: I did dig it. Thank you.
	🥁 ♥ 11:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all!
	🥁 ♥ 11:59pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Not a problem!
	🥁 ♥ 11:59pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - Feel better!
	🥁 ♥ 11:59pm Funky16Corners: @Nostragerer - Hi/Bye!
