Good morming, Joe. Hey. I got a better paying job this year and I wanted to bump up my swag for life contribution. Can I do that anytime?
Avatar 🎸 9:11am
YETI BOB:

By the way, I've been donating money to this station since the 1980s - I have a whole drawerful of WFMU t-shirts - and there's not a single icon by my name. I guess I don't really care that much - I know I donated - but it makes me look kind of bad when everyone else has icons and I have none. Just letting you all know that I am not a cheapskate and I contribute to this wonderful station!

Joe R.:

Checking in after last week's Joey Molland interview, went to the White Album tribute last week. Kinda weird but awfully fun, for me anyway. Molland was super solid and the Badfinger numbers got a great reception from the crowd. Rundgren had some pretty interesting costume changes during the second set :) I was really skeptical and confused as to why Christopher Cross was there but he did a great job on the quieter McCartney numbers (none of the other guys could have) and was really gracious, thanking the crew, sound and lighting people. YMMV though!
