	3:15pm Jennica: Thanks, Jett. I’m doing life well. Hope you are too.
	♥ 3:15pm Julian Hackney: @WM I had the great honor of playing with the MC50 in Cleveland with my band Rough Francis. Never in my life thought I'd share a bill with Wayne Kramer. He was unbelievably gracious and humble, and continues to support us to this day
	3:15pm Jett: Nice to hear some Black Sabbath!
	♥ 3:15pm Fuzzy: Howdy folks! Loving the timely tunes Todd!
	🎸 ♥ 3:16pm Frank In Queens: And now, a bass tutorial by Geezer Butler.
	3:16pm Jett: That sounds so cool @Julian! Yes so far I'm okay @Jennica
	3:16pm ?: Oh yeah
	3:16pm David in London: Hi Jennica!
	3:16pm Victrola Tom: Perfect musical selection for the times! Or anytime!
	3:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: Later in the show we'll have some bass tutorials from Steve Priest.
	🎸 ♥ 3:17pm Frank In Queens: Sounds good! I need to take lessons again.
	3:17pm Victrola Tom: War Pigs was the 3rd song I learned to play on guitar, right after Iron Man & Paranoid!
	♥ 3:17pm mariano: Hi David, how are you this evening?
	3:18pm ?: Sabbath !!! Oh Lord now!! You’re getting heavy for a Saturday afternoon. What’s up Boss Grover !!
	♥ 3:18pm Motobro: Itz only me.
	3:19pm David in London: I saw Sabbath about four years ago. They were just fantastic. Ozzy may have looked like he had just wandered out of an older people’s sheltered housing scheme, but his voice was still incredible. And a guy sitting a few seats down from my was dressed as a banana. That’s an original look for a Sabs gig, thought I.
	3:19pm Steve Harsh: Heavy times call for heavy music. Go Todd!
	🎸 ♥ 3:19pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Sorry this song now reminds me of Clay & Matt W and I am chuckling.
	♥ 3:20pm Motobro: V Tom; Smoke on the water then Iron Man.
	3:20pm Nutley Sam: Gen'rals gathered with their pizza, Just like witches with some pizza
	3:21pm David in London: Mariano. Fine thanks pal. We’ve just had some big thunderstorms, but the clouds are clearing now for some hazy evening sun. How’s things in N.O?
	♥ 3:21pm Listener Fred: Can't hear this and not think of Clay and Matt singing it in transition between their shows.
	3:21pm Nutley Sam: Geezer "Terry" Butler outspoken vegan
	3:23pm Victrola Tom: @Motobro Lol, Smoke was right in that mix somewhere for me also!
	3:24pm Victrola Tom: Saw Sabbath in ‘80 at the Garden on the Black & Blue tour with BOC. Dio singing then.
	3:25pm Nutley Sam: @Ozz-O-Phonc Todd was that Sabbath track an LP? Something sounded different.
	🎸 ♥ 3:25pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: ANGRY MOULD
	3:25pm Joe B: Go Bob Mould!
	♥ 3:25pm Motobro: V Tom, me too. Sat dead city stage in the last row all the way up top. On mesc....
	♥ 3:25pm Mailman Tom: The Jesus and Mary Chain originated this wonderful sound. I got to see them at Bedell Chapel in New Haven!
	🎸 ♥ 3:25pm Hoboken Jack: Nice JAMC groove on that Green/Blue.
	3:25pm steveL: Angry is arguably the best Mould.
	3:26pm steveL: Hey Jack!
	♥ 3:26pm Spinning Giant: Go Bob Go!
	🎸 ♥ 3:26pm Hoboken Jack: Hey SteveL! How's tricks?
	♥ 3:26pm Spinning Giant: sounds like a lost Husker Du outtake
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm Frank In Queens: Holy shit, I was just thinking about this Superchunk song two seconds ago!
	♥ 3:27pm Motobro: SG, that it did.
	♥ 3:27pm Spinning Giant: and thats a good thing!
	3:27pm WM: @Julian Hackney: You are even more blessed in great tradition than I am! Wayne Kramer plays at least as well - indeed, better - than he did 50 years ago. He is a few years older than me and yet he was still amazingly agile on stage. He is an icon, I'm sure, for all Todd-O- Phonic Todd listeners.
	3:27pm JakeGould: Knock it out of the park, Todd!
	3:28pm sufferwords: Bring it Todd- pow pow pow revolution!!!
	♥ 3:29pm Spinning Giant: ...oh, and Hey-Ho everybody!...sorry i'm a bit late to the party...how's evryone holding up...?
	♥ 3:29pm McGroovey: Is there a naughty word in American Crisis? I hadn't noticed. Maybe Bob would do well to do a radio-play version? Then again, what other over-the-air station plays Bob Mould anymore? (Is there any other radio anymore?)
	3:29pm phat: Well hells bells that new Bob Mould.
	3:31pm gauche knee: <3
	♥ 3:31pm mariano: Well, speaking of storms, David, we have the first tropical storm of the season bearing down on us, due to hit tomorrow. Hurricane season is upon us, always good for that extra note of suspense. Otherwise all good. There was a really uplifting demonstration yesterday in the French Quarter, people of all descriptions and walks of life.
	3:31pm Jennica: Hi David (iL)!
	3:33pm Joe B: also the local coroner with that bullshit initial report
	🎸 ♥ 3:33pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Thanks for spinning truth to power Todd.
	3:34pm Victrola Tom: @Motobro Nice, not sure what I was on but rest assured it was something! Made up for not seeing Sabbath with Ozzy by seeing him at the Palladium on the Blizzard tour. I distinctly remember looking back up at the balcony and someone had cut a seat open, pulled the stuffing out, and set it on fire!
	3:34pm MFlynn: Right on Todd!!
	♥ 3:34pm Spinning Giant: ....go Todd! it's brutal what's happening and we all have to stand together to create the necessary change!
	3:35pm sufferwords: More TRUTH on FMU - don’t stop Todd we need sane voices to speak up
	♥ 3:35pm Motobro: Just spin the music.
	♥ 3:35pm Michael in Montclair: Thanks for preaching to the choir Todd!
	♥ 3:35pm mariano: flic.kr...
	3:35pm blackbodegabag: hell yeah Todd
	3:35pm DJ Pat K: Well said Todd
	3:36pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Right on
	3:36pm RustyTiki: Well said, Todd!
	♥ 3:36pm mariano: Preach, TOPT.
	♥ 3:37pm Spinning Giant: we need to demilitarize the police forces, and remove their right to self-oversight...clearly they are not capable of self-policing...
	3:37pm steveL: Thanks for speaking up, Todd! Thank you WFMU for allowing and encouraging DJs to speak their minds.
	3:37pm goyim in the am: @motobro just spin the dial. Todd speaks truth.
	3:37pm WM: Well spoken Todd - and thanks for another invaluable tip (regarding JC Town Hall demonstration).
	3:37pm Victrola Tom: Preach it Todd! Even the No Fun League is finally getting it right and no longer siding with the Orange Treasonweasel in the White House!
	🎸 ♥ 3:37pm Frank In Queens: Nicely said Todd. And great set.
	♥ 3:38pm Spinning Giant: @motobro that's incredibly selfish and arrogant...we need to be talking about this...all of us...
	🎸 ♥ 3:38pm Hoboken Jack: Well said, Todd, as always. #blm
	♥ 3:38pm McGroovey: Pow
	3:39pm JakeGould: An remember you can always pledge to the station if you will: pledge.wfmu.org
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm Hoboken Jack: Hello groovy McGroove
	3:39pm Victrola Tom: I’ve always said Todd is a stand up guy! Now he even does his show standing up!!
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm bk845: I know WFMU has been pointedly apolitical for the past three years, since we all enjoy a break from the shenanigans going on in Washington and elsewhere, but thank you Todd for taking the time to talk about current events and opportunities to protest peacefully.
	3:40pm Jennica: Well said, bk845.
	3:40pm Joe B: "Just spin the music." curious what you hope to accomplish with a comment like this?
	♥ 3:40pm Spinning Giant: @bk845 well said. Support
	3:41pm gauche knee: Pleasantly surprised & moved by your succinct words. Keep spinning the tunes & speaking the truth, Todd!
	3:43pm Edward: Joe B: Well, he accomplished me thinking “what a dipshit.”
	🎸 ♥ 3:44pm Mike Sin: Thanks for speaking it plainly, Todd. In 2020, there is not a lot more racism or brutality in the USA -- just a hell of lot more video cameras.
	3:44pm Nick K (Killer): Thought FMU was the one place I didn’t have to hear all this shit
	3:44pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks fpr listening everyone. I know my main purpose here is to entertain but I also realize I have a microphone and sometimes me and other station DJ's need to use it as an outlet for what they are thinking.
	3:45pm Frank Zaatar: Tod, thanks for speaking up--frankly it is more disturbing now when we say nothing. And especially for pointing out that the problem is not just "hate"--but whether or not there are consequences for acting on that hate.
	3:45pm kpx: All four of them, GUILTY of murder. the 3 that aided, life without parole. the cop with the knee on the neck, death sentence. but the sad reality of it is, that won't happen.
	3:45pm Joe B: @edward - well, sometimes if I am conducting an interview I will get an email or a comment telling me to shut up. Like, do you think I am going to cut the interview off and e like, sorry, this guy is right even though I invited you on the show?
	♥ 3:45pm Spinning Giant: @Nick K - again, if you can't cope, change the dial...your attitude is not welcome here...
	3:45pm Edward: Nick K: sucks to be you.
	3:46pm mike east: Thank you for speaking your mind toddophonic
	3:46pm Joe B: "Thought FMU was the one place I didn’t have to hear all this shit" wow a brief commentary drives you over the edge?
	3:46pm Frank Zaatar: *Todd"-hey, I can spell your name, I really can.
	♥ 3:47pm Spinning Giant: @Frank Zaatar - HA! LoL
	♥ 3:47pm Motobro: With the microphone comes great responsibility. You know I appreciate you Todd.
	♥ 3:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: I stand with Todd.
	3:47pm Joe B: "With the microphone comes great responsibility." so what was irresponsible about anything that was said?
	3:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Motobro wasn't complaining, Joe. But that's why you are The People's Champ! Defending me anyway!
	♥ 3:53pm Spinning Giant: Man, Jason Brewer (Explorers Club) sounds exactly like Steven Page (previously of Barenaked Ladies fame)...like, exACTly! I thought it was a new band of his...not that I was ever really a fan, but up here north of the 49th parallel, you couldn't get away from those dudes back in their heyday...just one of the many downsides to government-imposed required percentages of Can Con (Canadian Content) on the broadcast airwaves...
	3:53pm JakeGould: @JoeB In times of crisis you genuinely see who people really are. And I am to say you are a great person. Todd too.
	3:55pm Christina Low: @Spinning Giant I walked in the room and said that to my husband as the song was playing!
	♥ 3:56pm Bootsie: I'm just going to pretend this Sparks track is going out to ME!
	♥ 3:56pm Spinning Giant: @ChristinaLow, right...?! I thought maybe he finally got some taste in his old age, and put out something cool LoL!
	3:58pm flashbazbo: That moment bologna wasn’t trite Ha. Just got to share autocorrect
	♥ 3:58pm Bootsie: Yaaay! ;-)
	♥ 3:58pm Spinning Giant: @TOPT @Bootsie - YES! LoL!
	♥ 3:59pm Spinning Giant: this is definitely the prettiest tune ive ever heard about this humble yard maintenance implement
	3:59pm Nordstrom: Love ya, Todd... thanks for speaking out. We have to believe that our country and its awful, broken shit-stem can be made better, some day. Deepest thanks to everyone who is out there putting their bodies on the line!
	4:01pm flashbazbo: Those thoughts weren’t to be heard anywhere else. I’m so sick of anonymous people with investigation sublet agendas. That would be invisible agendas.
	🎸 ♥ 4:03pm Matt Fiveash: Nick K- I doubt you're still here but that's a fucking stupid thing to say, for two reasons. One, Todd, and I think a lot of DJs on this radio station, feel compelled to comment where they normally wouldn't because we find ourselves in an unprecedented place in history right now, and it's very hard not to talk about it. Two- and this is what really burns my ass- you say WFMU is the only place you don't have to hear "this shit" (what is "this shit"? reality? current events? The notion that it's not cool to kill someone in handcuffs by kneeling on their neck?) as if an unpaid DJ, beholden to no one and nothing except a couple of FCC rules, speaking from the heart about the seismic changes happening in the world, is just more of the same thing you get on NPR, or Fox News, or Huffington Post Field & Stream or Juggs or wherever you get your information.
	♥ 4:05pm Spinning Giant: @MattFiveash - YES! gratitude
	4:05pm kpx: what's happening in our nation right now is so over the top outrageous that it can't be ignored. people are essentially protesting not only for the lives that have been takin. but to prevent lives from being taken. people can't depend on or trust a corrupt fascist law enforcement system the way it is set up now.
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm Frank In Queens: Wow, is Juggs still being published?! Nicely said Matt!
	4:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @MattFiveash: What Spinning Giant said.
	♥ 4:07pm Chop Scott: Bravo Matt.
	4:07pm JakeGould: What all you mensches just said.
	♥ 4:07pm Dominick: Amen Matt
	♥ 4:07pm Michael Shelley: @ matt - yes! @ Nick K - why would you think WFMU would be a place not to hear it? OR are you being passive aggressive? If you have a point of view or argument - let's hear it.
	🎸 ♥ 4:08pm Matt Fiveash: He's gotta go consult the op-ed in the latest issue of Juggs for the gotcha quote.
	4:09pm Joe Dolce: @NickK: What’s-a matter you? Gotta no respect? What-a you think you do? What you look-a so sad? It’s-a not so bad… It’s-a nice-a place… Shaddap-a you face!
	♥ 4:09pm Spinning Giant: WOW! This live performance is sensational! Cheers Todd for introducing us to another brilliant artist! gratitude
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm Matt Fiveash: Ai Giuseppe you put it-a so nice!
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Clay turned me on to Michael Rault. That song was one of my favorites.
	4:11pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Spinning Giant: Pearl and Michael usually perform with their own bands but during lockdown having been doing a bunch of IG live stuff etc..
	4:13pm flashbazbo: Some people’s job is to move an evil needle as far as they can anywhere they show up. The problem now is their desired outcome is getting in focus and it’s ugly for most people. they will end up like flies at the end of the season.
	♥ 4:13pm Spinning Giant: Amazing @TOPT - thanks for the tip! - I will definitely check that out - I just added their catalogue to my library - man, they sound so damn good together - they should make this an ongoing thing moving forward!
	4:14pm Victrola Tom: @Matt F well staled re: Nick K. Thank you.
	4:14pm Victrola Tom: Stated
	4:14pm Earth Walker: Thanks Todd and Crew Cool music Get out in the streets ALL Just did here in Nice France We are everywhere NO JUSTICE NO PEACE
	4:15pm Joe B: @ Joe Dolce and Fiveash - can someone do a cover updated for the pandemic? Cover up-a you face
	4:16pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: I've got The Brothers Italiano on speed dial!
	🎸 ♥ 4:16pm Matt Fiveash: Joe B- sounds like just the thing a wounded nation is crying out for!
	🎸 ♥ 4:17pm Matt Fiveash: Todd- haha!
	4:19pm Joe B: yes thanks, cool set! next time, more wings covers!
	4:19pm kpx: @Joe D, that-a was-a some spicy a-meat-a ball .
	♥ 4:19pm mariano: Damn you Joe Dolce, now I'm gonna have "Shaddapa You Face" stuck in my head all day!
	4:22pm gauche knee: Just want to vent: Some of the best dance floors/ nights of my life was a mix of awesome music & politics bringing all sorts of ppl together. Some of the best music is either explicitly political or inspired by it. No idea where the idea that u can’t have a blast & stand for something came from.
	4:23pm gauche knee: FMU has been doing it for years , maybe more covertly, but there’s a time to speak & do and I’m glad many DJ’s are doing.
	4:24pm Joe Dolce: At least-a you don’t get a billy club a stuck-a in you head!
	4:25pm Earth Walker: Joe that was so cool I’m gonna get me some Italian ice-cream for dessert
	♥ 4:26pm suzyhotrod: Todd! I'm just stopping by the say I had to work overtime today and having your show as a soundtrack is a treat. Back to work now.
	4:27pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @suzyhotrod: Can't wait to hear your show tomorrow!
	4:31pm kpx: Now it's time for everyone to do the tarantella. dutta duhda dutta duhda dutta dutta taduh.
	♥ 4:31pm Michael Shelley: Gotta love that the wfmu web player is showing the cover of a Richard Clayderman cd
	4:31pm Victrola Tom: Just when I thought the show couldn’t get any better we get a Mike L shoutout!
	♥ 4:31pm McGroovey: Hey, I like the Von Mons. I like them cuz they're even more ragged than my band.
	♥ 4:34pm mariano: Mamma mia, that's a spicy pepper-a spray-a!
	🎸 ♥ 4:39pm Mike Sin: re: "Gone and Passes By" Interesting -- every Watchband version I have has that harmonica overdub on top.
	♥ 4:39pm mariano: kpx: I'm imagining you as Frank Pentangeli chastising the band at Michael's son's first communion.
	4:40pm SesnG: let's rock baby
	4:40pm battleaxe: Clapping on this song is graduate level at points. I've tried to mimic it unsuccessfully.
	♥ 4:40pm Spinning Giant: JD = Je Dig (beaucoup, bebe, beaucoup)!!!!
	♥ 4:40pm Craig in MoTown: Could be one of my favorite songs! Hopefully the show happens in August.
	4:42pm Earth Walker: Mama Mia that’s a spicy meat a ball
	4:42pm kpx: Who-sa uppa for-a some Ital!. I got to find me a meatball sub. parmigiano of course.
	4:44pm Sylvia's Mother: Is the playlist in the right order?
	4:44pm lepson jooves: speaking of the Stones, it was Charlie Watts birthday the other day, time for some Ex Bats!!!
	4:44pm Earth Walker: Pop pop fizz fizz oh what a relief it is with justice for all Jail bad piggies judges and Presidents
	🎸 ♥ 4:45pm Mike Sin: Hey, thanks Todd! "Miss Amanda Jones" -- the Stones first real "1970s" track showing up in 1967.
	🎸 ♥ 4:46pm Mike Sin: That is Dave Aguilar on the Watchband track.
	♥ 4:46pm van chinski: Just checking in to say it's great to have Todd, the Skeleton Crue and all of WFMU still going strong during these tough times. WFMU is more of a necessity than ever in my life these days. I just wish "Shaddap You Face" wasn't invading my head space right now...
	4:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @van chinski: Thanks, brother. It's good to know that it seems like a lot of people are appreciating what we do more than ever right now.
	♥ 4:49pm McGroovey: I got all the Chocolate Watchband CDs that came out on Sundazed in the '80s, and it was clear that there must have been plenty of drama behind the scenes (session musicians replacing the band or some of the and, etc). I guess I'm vaguely aware that more real-band versions have come out since those Sundazed CDs, but I haven't kept track. But they're fine records, no matter who's playing and singing.
	4:50pm Nick K (Killer): To all whom did not like my comments I’ve been a listener for well over 5 years now and donate to the cause I tune into FMU to get away from all the news and political driven media I don’t need to be fed someone’s views of the current situation we are in just the way I feel, yes murder is horrible no matter where or how it happens agreed but I’m done with this always victims narrative driven by left leaning media
	4:50pm kpx: Earth Walker, I say let them suffer.
	4:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Nick K: You are entitled to your opinion.
	4:51pm Renzi: Guy walks into his kids bedroom and catches him masturbating. "Son, don't do that...it'll make you go blind." Kid says "Dad, I'm over here."
	4:52pm Nick K (Killer): Oh and Im still here and not going away
	4:52pm Joe Dolce: You-a ask me a-lotta the world problems go away if-a few Italian grandmas show up-a and give a good smack-a the racists up side-a the head! “You an orphan or something? You need a hug? Why-a you shame-a you family!”
	4:52pm Nick K (Killer): Thank you Todd, spin on
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm Matt Fiveash: Nick K- no one's "feeding" you anything. Turn off your radio for ten minutes and come back and Todd'll be back to playing Slade
	♥ 4:53pm McGroovey: @NickK the truth is the truth. You're free to ignore the truth if you want to. Just pretend it's not the truth, and you'll feel fine. You're entitled to your opinion, sure, and everyone else is entitled to theirs, but there's no rule or law that says Todd has to shut up, so there's no reason why he should. And facts are facts, whatever the opinions are.
	4:57pm Joe B: "always victims narrative" ... so you'd prefer the oppressor's narrative? puzzling stance.
	4:57pm scott: Any one can find a reason to be unhappy or dissatisfied, even in the best of times. Count your blessings assholes.
	🎸 ♥ 4:58pm Frank In Queens: Well Nick, if you don't need it, then you can tune out and do without it. Or you can suck it up and put up with it for the relatively fleeting moment that you're "forced" to be confronted with it. It won't be long before the music starts again; only slightly longer than the amount of time it took you to tell the host of the radio show you chose to tune it to what he shouldn't say on his own show. You're bit about victim's narrative is hilariously ironic BTW.
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm Frank In Queens: Proofreading is a good thing...
	♥ 5:01pm McGroovey: Yeah, I usually discover typos in my post AFTER I post them, and I wish I could edit my idiocy.
	♥ 5:02pm McGroovey: I saw Brendan Benson live at the student center at Ithaca College in the early '00s. I suppose there were 30 people there--mostly college students, so I was probably the oldest one there. He was great, and had a great power-popping band with him.
	♥ 5:04pm mariano: When I want some good victimology, I just watch one of Trump's press conferences. His campaign song should be "Charlie Brown" ("Why is everybody always pickin' on me?"). PS: left-leaning media, lol. Go visit a country that has an actual left wing.
	♥ 5:05pm McGroovey: At the time, I was listening to all Brendan's albums up to that point in heavy rotation, but somehow I got out of the habit, and I haven't listened to any of them in ten years or more. This reminds me I should pull them out again.
	🎸 ♥ 5:05pm Hoboken Jack: Really enjoyed that interview, thanks Todd! I've been a fan of Brendan Benson a long time (haven't seen him live) and I'm glad to know he's such a good guy.
	5:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Hoboken Jack: The two of you have at least that much in common!
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm medson: This is great. Thanks Todd
	♥ 5:06pm common: enjoying in philly, todd! thank you!
	5:07pm Victrola Tom: Really enjoying this Brendan Benson set!
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm Artie: Power To The People!
	5:08pm flashbazbo: Whenever one speaks a humanitarian thought now someone needs to be recognized as the "other side" of that issue. Or else free speech is at risk or something. If you say anything other than "both sides do it" you will get this whining and kvetching about the unfairness of it all.
	5:08pm Earth Walker: Artie ! I was screaming that big time today
	5:09pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @flashbazbo: Yes, I think Michael was touching on that issue on his show earlier today.
	5:11pm flashbazbo: I'll check the archive Todd. Stay human.
	5:11pm MFlynn: Thanks Todd for introducing me to Mr. Benson’s music! Great stuff!!
	5:13pm Billy: No, Floyd shouldn't have been killed, but he was, generally, a piece of crap, and I do get tired of being told that I need to care about such people. Is that sort of opinion OK here? Seems like it may not be.
	5:13pm MelindafromAustin: I think this dude is channeling ...
	5:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Billy: Did you know George Floyd personally? Otherwise, I'm not sure how you can say that with such authority.
	5:17pm MelindafromAustin: BTW people: no one is asking you to judge the character of murder victims. The point is murder is not OK. Your character judgements mean nothing in the scheme of things. Human life means everything. This bullshit is the same thing as justifying why it’s a woman’s fault when she gets raped, or saying that poor people deserve to starve, or sending people to prison for minor drug offenses.
	♥ 5:17pm Fuzzy: Billy is OK with cops summarily executing people in the streets. Another one who is definitely "entitled" to their opinion.
	🎸 ♥ 5:17pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you Melinda
	🎸 ♥ 5:18pm Frank In Queens: Billy fucking loves it!
	5:18pm Joe B: Billy maybe you should try caring about out of control cops. look at it that way. because the next knee could be on your throat, and we'll be on here debating on what kind of piece of crap you were
	🎸 ♥ 5:18pm Frank In Queens: Billy also doesn't have the guts to post under his account name.
	🎸 ♥ 5:19pm Hoboken Jack: People's Champ with a knockout blow!
	5:19pm Billy: No, MFlynn, I didn't know him personally. Neither did I know Charles Manson, but I did read about him, and he pretty much sucked. Have you looked into Floyd's history or are you just buying the hype?
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm Frank In Queens: The People's Champ was always a better bare-knuckled brawler!
	♥ 5:20pm Michael Shelley: "I do get tired of being told that I need to care about such people." - MIND BLOWN
	♥ 5:20pm McGroovey: Being a piece of crap is not normally an offense that carries a death sentence. And I'm having trouble finding the offense of Being a Piece of Crap in the legal codes or in common law. But if it were, a lot of us would find ourselves under the death boot.
	5:21pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Billy: I'm sure he was a better human being than you just from your comments here.
	🎸 ♥ 5:21pm medson: Troll
	♥ 5:21pm McGroovey: This live Sweet rocks.
	5:22pm Billy: Frank, I have an account name? I typed Bill and Billy came up. Besides, what would I be afraid of?
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Pedro in Arlington: Music? I got tons of it in a variety of formats. I love my WFMU imaginary friend deejays because they're smart, funny people who speak interesting stuff. Those who don't dig can groove on Pandora or whatever dreck is pumped out by I Heart Raydeeoh.
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm medson: @McGroovy very much so
	5:22pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @McGroovy: Right? What a band!
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Frank In Queens: If I had opinions like yours Billy, I'd probably keep them to myself.
	5:23pm Joe B: buying the hype? sounds like you are buying hype from police
	♥ 5:23pm slugluv1313: thank-you, MelindafromAustin
	5:24pm Bily: I am really dumb. The dumbest ever. Look at dumb me!
	5:24pm JakeGould: Que sera, sera. One door closes and another opens. Lose a few butthurt listeners and gain a few truly supportive listeners. Pledge here: pledge.wfmu.org
	5:24pm Earth Walker: Bad Billy. Go directly to your room Do not pass go do not collect $200 Stand in the corner and face the wall
	5:24pm Joe B: comparing a guy who forged a check to charles manson is no way to go through life
	♥ 5:25pm Fuzzy: All bootlickers, whatabouters, and other assorted Devil's Advocates can fuck right off -- imma listen to some Sweet now!
	🎸 ♥ 5:26pm DonJuanTijuana: @TOPT Thx for rocking me out today...driving on the road & hearing War Pigs come on, mandated a spin of the dial to max volume of 10!!! That Green/Blue track sounded like JAMC...Yowza!!!
	♥ 5:26pm Bootsie: Best advice I ever received in my usenet days: "DFFT — don't feed the trolls." They are sad and lonely people who just want attention. Interacting with them is of no benefit to anyone.
	5:27pm Billy: In no way, do I support that scummy cop. Where does anyone get the idea that I do? Hopefully, he gets his just rewards in prison. But some of the ad hominem attacks against me here, answered my question. That is, opposing viewpoints are unwelcome.
	🎸 ♥ 5:27pm medson: Sweet set. Pun intended. Glam it up
	♥ 5:27pm Bootsie: Mind you, I don't always TAKE said advice... ;-)
	5:28pm Joe B: Floyd's character is irrelevant, why you so focused on that?
	5:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Billy: What you said about George Floyd wasn't a viewpoint, it was an attack. There is room for rational debate.
	♥ 5:28pm Michael in Montclair: @TOPT, thanks for the live Sweet set! RIP Steve Priest.
	5:29pm JakeGould: @JoeB: Small correction… The cops were called on George Floyd because he supposedly tried to pass a fake $20 bill at a corner grocery. The owners of the store actually tried to stop the cops from their actions. And they were so upset by what happened they issued a statement condemning not only the actions but have changed their store policies as to when coos are called. And they paid for a George Floyd’s funeral.
	5:30pm Billy: Joe B, clearly you're unaware of the circumstances behind his 5 years in prison not so long ago.
	5:30pm Joe B: that's still irrelevant
	5:32pm JakeGould: “But some of the ad hominem attacks against me here…” Says the man making ad hominem attacks against a dead man who was murdered.
	♥ 5:33pm Bootsie: @JakeGould I did not know the store owners paid for his funeral. That was a kind gesture.
	5:33pm Joe B: Billy why are you so offended by people mourning someone murdered at the hands of the police in broad daylight? You bring up his past because you either think he deserved it or you don't give a fuck that he was murdered.
	5:34pm lepson jooves: man, I was never much of a Sweet fan, but I'm digging this!!
	5:34pm Joe B: those are the only two possibilities I can think of
	♥ 5:34pm McGroovey: So Billy is expressing that it shouldn't be a big deal to kill (oops!) a guy who's committed crimes in the past, or just got arrested for (allegedly) committing a minor crime. But which crimes? Reckless driving is a crime that can have deadly consequences. Is that a crime it's OK for the cops to kill you over? Asking for a friend.
	5:34pm Billy: Joe B, it's totally relevant (to why I don't feel any love for Floyd). I think a lot of people here just hate cops more than they hate criminals, and that's why they scream such platitudes as No Justice, No Peace.
	5:35pm Leonardo: Wow, this is just like being on the internet.
	5:35pm Joe B: Ok so there it is - you sympathize with the cops. disgusting
	♥ 5:36pm Spinning Giant: Billy, if you're a cop and just coming on here to whinge, at least have the balls to say so...
	5:36pm Billy: I like to argue and be dumb.
	♥ 5:36pm McGroovey: You don't have to love someone to accept that they shouldn't be subject to summary execution.
	5:36pm Sylvia's Mother: "his 5 years in prison not so long ago" doesn't mean he's not entitled to due process! Aren't you glad you'd get due process?
	5:37pm battleaxe: @Billy... mission accomplished
	♥ 5:37pm slugluv1313: i am guessing that every sex worker on the planet has been passed a fake $20.00 bill (not to mention every retail operation, restaurant, etc. that deals with cash) do cops murder the tricks that passed those fake bills? do others question the "character" of the tricks?
	🎸 ♥ 5:37pm Hackensack Slim: Lotta Platform Shoe scuff marks on that Rainbow Floor I'll bet.
	♥ 5:38pm McGroovey: Hey, look, we can argue about politics, while we listen to one of the most apolitical bands on the '70s. Ain't freedom great?
	5:38pm Billy: McGroovey, how about armed robbery in which he held a gun to the stomach of a pregnant woman? Is that bad enough, or is that just a little insignificant sexual harassment?
	5:38pm Matt Fiveash: Billy, it is certainly important to do what you like and it looks like that’s what you’re doing.
	🎸 ♥ 5:38pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Teenage son just asked me "why is WFMU playing so many songs by the Sweet?" I told him that Steve Priest died and my son replied "'Love is like Oxygen" is my favorite Sweet song. I've loved it since I was a toddler."
	🎸 ♥ 5:39pm medson: Aren’t there other places this dude can go to? You’re being patient with this guy Todd
	♥ 5:39pm Chop Scott: These live tracks are ferocious! Thanks Todd.
	♥ 5:39pm Fuzzy: Oh, YEAH!
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Corey: Hope you've enjoyed your two minutes of hate, Billy. Meanwhile...this live Sweet is killing it.
	5:40pm Billy: Dumb lives matter!
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Frank In Queens: I can almost guarantee that Billy has a Punisher sticker on his car.
	♥ 5:40pm McGroovey: If the guy actually has a gun held to someone right now, of course. That's probably justified to save a life. But Floyd was not an imminent thread to anyone, so don't raise that strawman.
	5:41pm Joe Dolce: All-a these people who-a day “Goodbye! You piss-a me off!” are-a still here?!? Make-a uppa you mind!
	5:41pm Vertual: Well, not to get off topic, but lovin this Sweet set. When i was in 4th grade a classmate brought a 45 of Little Willie for us to hear during recess on the blue/gray califone record player. Was a bit more exciting than Seasons in the Sun.
	♥ 5:42pm Fuzzy: What a killer band!
	♥ 5:42pm McGroovey: Ballroom Blitz was my favorite song when I was 10. It's still up there.
	5:43pm Billy: FYI...there's someone posting one-liners right now using my name. They're not my words. Would that person please stop? Thanks ever so.
	5:43pm Hyperskee: Awesome Todd 0
	🎸 ♥ 5:43pm Frank In Queens: Shit, I couldn't tell the difference!
	♥ 5:43pm McGroovey: Man, Steve Priest is killing the bass. In a good way.
	♥ 5:43pm jake6573: Little willy, first 45 ever bought
	5:44pm Billy: I'm Billy and I stink.
	5:44pm Billy: I'm just a jerk. A Trumpanzee.
	🎸 ♥ 5:44pm Frank In Queens: Thanks Todd. I didn't know about that live disc.
	5:44pm Victrola Tom: Breaking News: Russian trollbots infiltrate WFMU message board to try and sow dissension amongst the Todd-O-Phonic Todd faithful, AND FAIL MISERABLY!
	♥ 5:44pm McGroovey: Hey, fake-Billy, stop it. You're going to make me start taking real-Billy's side.
	♥ 5:45pm mariano: "No, Floyd shouldn't have been killed, but he was, generally, a piece of crap" Huh. I think that someone who makes a statement like that is pretty clearly an even bigger piece of crap. And quit pretending you give a toss about his murder.
	5:45pm Billy: Why, yes, I have a Punisher sticker. What of it?
	5:45pm kpx: if you think about it, a dirty corrupt cop with a license to kill is the ultimate criminal. and therefore should be dealt with greater scrutiny.
	♥ 5:45pm McGroovey: Fake-Billy is an actual jerk; real-Billy is just wrong, but possibly not a jerk.
	5:46pm Billy:: I hate me now ..
	♥ 5:46pm mariano: I think some people (cough Billy cough) would be much happier in North Korea. Now there's a country where people respect the police.
	5:46pm Joe B: @Tom - tuning in from Ventnor?
	5:46pm Billy: No, I'm definitely a jerk. Take it from me, Billy.
	5:47pm MelindafromAustin: @hobokenjack @slugluv1313 solidarity & love!
	5:47pm Billy: McGroovey, once again, Floyd's record has no bearing on his murder. It does, however, have some bearing on how much love I feel for him. I said that at the very beginning. I'd rather save my love/support for an actual decent person.
	5:48pm Billy:: I don't know what to think ... huhuhu
	5:48pm Joe B: who said you had to love him? in case you haven't noticed, floyd's just the latest in a too-long pattern.
	♥ 5:49pm Bootsie: Liking this Goldie Dawn cover!
	5:49pm Joe B: "I'd rather save my love/support for an actual decent person." thin blue line talking now. got it.
	5:49pm Victrola Tom: @Joe B sadly no, rented the place out for the summer. Tough decision, but the feeling was it’s not going to be a normal summer anyway. And actually happy to be back in ‘boken, listening from the backyard!
	5:49pm Billy: And besides, McGroovey, The Sweet did do Teenage Rampage, a tiny bit political.
	5:49pm Joe B: @Tom - wow, on the bright side at least you were able to rent it!
	5:50pm Billy: I don't understand why everyone makes fun of me just because I pull my pants down around my ankles when I pee at a urinal. It doesn't make my opinions any less valid.
	5:51pm Victrola Tom: @Joe B the place was in high demand, as no one wants to get on a plane for vacation right now!
	5:51pm Billy: I also poop with my pants around my waist sometimes.
	5:51pm Joe B: ah good point, well at least the sweet (pun intended) rental cash coming in!
	♥ 5:51pm Spinning Giant: @Billy shut up... you're such an asshole...
	5:52pm Victrola Tom: Is it wrong that fake Billy is cracking me up right now?
	♥ 5:52pm mariano: I bet law and order is the first thing on your mind as you score your weekend eightball and try to finagle a hummer from a stripper in the VIP room, Billy.
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm Corey: Great show, Todd! Appreciate the rock and roll and the humanity. Thanks Ruth for keeping the station humming. Be well all.
	♥ 5:53pm Spinning Giant: @VictrolaTom...No! :)
	♥ 5:53pm slugluv1313: @ Joe B -- exactly -- what human gets to judge/decide who else is actually "decent"?!?
	🎸 ♥ 5:53pm Hoboken Jack: Spinny! I missed a little earlier, was it discussed that it IS Steven Page on the Explorers Club record? Pretty cool. Todd thank you so much. I truly love almost everybody here.
	♥ 5:54pm Michael in Montclair: I watched footage of Sweet on YouTube recently and was blown away by Mick Tucker's drumming. Obviously Bonham and Moon will come to mind as legends, but Tucker drumming was very underrated
	♥ 5:54pm slugluv1313: @ mariano -- ha ha, right? AND slip the stripper(s) fake bills for tips :)
	♥ 5:54pm Spinning Giant: @slugluv1313...apparently, Billy and his miniscule cock..
	🎸 ♥ 5:54pm Frank In Queens: Mystery solved! Thanks Jack!
	♥ 5:55pm radioronan: Thanks Todd. Fine program.Thanks skeleton crew.
	5:55pm Billy: Slugluv1313, well, judges for one. And one of them judged that Floyd was decidely not decent, sentencing him to 5 years.
	5:55pm MFlynn: Thank you Todd for another super show! Have a great week.
	5:56pm Victrola Tom: After that Sweet set and now this awesome follow, hard to imagine we started 2+ hours ago with Iggy, MC5, & War Pigs! Great show maestro Todd!
	5:56pm Billy: Knock, knock.
	5:57pm Joe B: thanks Todd, can you call work and explain how this soda got all over the laptop!
	5:57pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: You're welcome everyone! Same time, same station next week. Thanks for listening...
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm Frank In Queens: Todd, what's on Svengoolie tonight?
	♥ 5:58pm slugluv1313: thank-you, Todd!
	5:58pm JakeGould: Thanks Todd! Your mensch level has been boosted!
	5:58pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Victrola Tom: I do it all for you (and everyone else).
	♥ 5:58pm McGroovey: We can have our personal opinions about who is decent, but only an official court should be able to decide who's liable to punishment, for actual crimes committed. It matters not one bit whether the person is a POS.
	♥ 5:58pm Spinning Giant: Rockin show Todd, as always..thanks everyone for the frank and honest shit chat....
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm Benoni: A Judge sentencing a person is called due process of law—not murder. Law lesson of the day.
	5:59pm battleaxe: Another in a long line of great shows...Thanxz TOPT!
	♥ 5:59pm Fuzzy: Thanks, Todd!
	♥ 5:59pm Spinning Giant: *Chit chat LoL ;D
	🎸 ♥ 6:00pm Frank In Queens: No Spinny, you were right the first time.
	♥ 6:00pm McGroovey: I just went away to look up the writer's credit for "Teenage Rampage" (yes, written by the band, not Chapman/Chinn or whoever), but I did discover the song title "Own Up, Take a Look at Yourself", which I don't know, so I want to listen to it now. I hope it's a good song.
	♥ 6:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Todd. Sweet dreams!
	♥ 6:00pm Michael in Montclair: Thanks for the awesome setlist today Todd! And thank you for speaking your mind!
	6:00pm Billy: Well, you know that's the penalty for fake 20 bills. Death in the street.
	♥ 6:00pm Bootsie: Great show, as always!
	6:00pm Billy: McGroovey, as I said, an official actually did decide he wasn't very decent.
	♥ 6:00pm Spinning Giant: Mekons! Yes!
	🎸 ♥ 6:00pm Frank In Queens: Nice show Todd, again. Cheers (almost) everyone! See you all next week.
	♥ 6:00pm McGroovey: Thanks TODD!
	♥ 6:00pm mariano: Thanks Todd! Enjoy licking those boots Billy!
	🎸 ♥ 6:00pm Hoboken Jack: Billy, don't be a hero.
	♥ 6:01pm juan: Todd, thanks for another great show!
	6:01pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: Thanks for the great set, Todd!
	♥ 6:01pm Spinning Giant: Billy SUCKS!
	♥ 6:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Ruth!
	♥ 6:01pm McGroovey: No, an official decided he was guilty of a particular crime. That's not the same thing as judging him "not decent" which doesn't have legal meaning.
	6:01pm Billy: Now you're just making a mockery of me!
	6:02pm Sylvia's Mother: Is that you, crying, Ruth?
	♥ 6:02pm slugluv1313: @ McGroovey -- yes exactly
	🎸 ♥ 8:33pm Handy Haversack: Sure wish I could have been here for the show today, Todd -- but I am just going to thank you, sound unheard, for what you do, and who you are. We need so much to hear DJs putting their passion and conscience into their sets. It makes every bit of the struggle easier to know that someone like you, Joe, Matt, Ken, you're all there too. Thanks, Todd. Thanks for all you do.

	♥ 3:15pm Fuzzy: Howdy folks! Loving the timely tunes Todd!
	🎸 ♥ 3:16pm Frank In Queens: And now, a bass tutorial by Geezer Butler.
	3:16pm Jett: That sounds so cool @Julian! Yes so far I'm okay @Jennica
	3:16pm ?: Oh yeah
	3:16pm David in London: Hi Jennica!
	3:16pm Victrola Tom: Perfect musical selection for the times! Or anytime!
	3:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: Later in the show we'll have some bass tutorials from Steve Priest.
	🎸 ♥ 3:17pm Frank In Queens: Sounds good! I need to take lessons again.
	3:17pm Victrola Tom: War Pigs was the 3rd song I learned to play on guitar, right after Iron Man & Paranoid!
	♥ 3:17pm mariano: Hi David, how are you this evening?
	3:18pm ?: Sabbath !!! Oh Lord now!! You’re getting heavy for a Saturday afternoon. What’s up Boss Grover !!
	♥ 3:18pm Motobro: Itz only me.
	3:19pm David in London: I saw Sabbath about four years ago. They were just fantastic. Ozzy may have looked like he had just wandered out of an older people’s sheltered housing scheme, but his voice was still incredible. And a guy sitting a few seats down from my was dressed as a banana. That’s an original look for a Sabs gig, thought I.
	3:19pm Steve Harsh: Heavy times call for heavy music. Go Todd!
	🎸 ♥ 3:19pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Sorry this song now reminds me of Clay & Matt W and I am chuckling.
	♥ 3:20pm Motobro: V Tom; Smoke on the water then Iron Man.
	3:20pm Nutley Sam: Gen'rals gathered with their pizza, Just like witches with some pizza
	3:21pm David in London: Mariano. Fine thanks pal. We’ve just had some big thunderstorms, but the clouds are clearing now for some hazy evening sun. How’s things in N.O?
	♥ 3:21pm Listener Fred: Can't hear this and not think of Clay and Matt singing it in transition between their shows.
	3:21pm Nutley Sam: Geezer "Terry" Butler outspoken vegan
	3:23pm Victrola Tom: @Motobro Lol, Smoke was right in that mix somewhere for me also!
	3:24pm Victrola Tom: Saw Sabbath in ‘80 at the Garden on the Black & Blue tour with BOC. Dio singing then.
	3:25pm Nutley Sam: @Ozz-O-Phonc Todd was that Sabbath track an LP? Something sounded different.
	🎸 ♥ 3:25pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: ANGRY MOULD
	3:25pm Joe B: Go Bob Mould!
	♥ 3:25pm Motobro: V Tom, me too. Sat dead city stage in the last row all the way up top. On mesc....
	♥ 3:25pm Mailman Tom: The Jesus and Mary Chain originated this wonderful sound. I got to see them at Bedell Chapel in New Haven!
	🎸 ♥ 3:25pm Hoboken Jack: Nice JAMC groove on that Green/Blue.
	3:25pm steveL: Angry is arguably the best Mould.
	3:26pm steveL: Hey Jack!
	♥ 3:26pm Spinning Giant: Go Bob Go!
	🎸 ♥ 3:26pm Hoboken Jack: Hey SteveL! How's tricks?
	♥ 3:26pm Spinning Giant: sounds like a lost Husker Du outtake
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm Frank In Queens: Holy shit, I was just thinking about this Superchunk song two seconds ago!
	♥ 3:27pm Motobro: SG, that it did.
	♥ 3:27pm Spinning Giant: and thats a good thing!
	3:27pm WM: @Julian Hackney: You are even more blessed in great tradition than I am! Wayne Kramer plays at least as well - indeed, better - than he did 50 years ago. He is a few years older than me and yet he was still amazingly agile on stage. He is an icon, I'm sure, for all Todd-O- Phonic Todd listeners.
	3:27pm JakeGould: Knock it out of the park, Todd!
	3:28pm sufferwords: Bring it Todd- pow pow pow revolution!!!
	♥ 3:29pm Spinning Giant: ...oh, and Hey-Ho everybody!...sorry i'm a bit late to the party...how's evryone holding up...?
	♥ 3:29pm McGroovey: Is there a naughty word in American Crisis? I hadn't noticed. Maybe Bob would do well to do a radio-play version? Then again, what other over-the-air station plays Bob Mould anymore? (Is there any other radio anymore?)
	3:29pm phat: Well hells bells that new Bob Mould.
	3:31pm gauche knee: <3
	♥ 3:31pm mariano: Well, speaking of storms, David, we have the first tropical storm of the season bearing down on us, due to hit tomorrow. Hurricane season is upon us, always good for that extra note of suspense. Otherwise all good. There was a really uplifting demonstration yesterday in the French Quarter, people of all descriptions and walks of life.
	3:31pm Jennica: Hi David (iL)!
	3:33pm Joe B: also the local coroner with that bullshit initial report
	🎸 ♥ 3:33pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Thanks for spinning truth to power Todd.
	3:34pm Victrola Tom: @Motobro Nice, not sure what I was on but rest assured it was something! Made up for not seeing Sabbath with Ozzy by seeing him at the Palladium on the Blizzard tour. I distinctly remember looking back up at the balcony and someone had cut a seat open, pulled the stuffing out, and set it on fire!
	3:34pm MFlynn: Right on Todd!!
	♥ 3:34pm Spinning Giant: ....go Todd! it's brutal what's happening and we all have to stand together to create the necessary change!
	3:35pm sufferwords: More TRUTH on FMU - don’t stop Todd we need sane voices to speak up
	♥ 3:35pm Motobro: Just spin the music.
	♥ 3:35pm Michael in Montclair: Thanks for preaching to the choir Todd!
	♥ 3:35pm mariano: flic.kr...
	3:35pm blackbodegabag: hell yeah Todd
	3:35pm DJ Pat K: Well said Todd
	3:36pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Right on
	3:36pm RustyTiki: Well said, Todd!
	♥ 3:36pm mariano: Preach, TOPT.
	♥ 3:37pm Spinning Giant: we need to demilitarize the police forces, and remove their right to self-oversight...clearly they are not capable of self-policing...
	3:37pm steveL: Thanks for speaking up, Todd! Thank you WFMU for allowing and encouraging DJs to speak their minds.
	3:37pm goyim in the am: @motobro just spin the dial. Todd speaks truth.
	3:37pm WM: Well spoken Todd - and thanks for another invaluable tip (regarding JC Town Hall demonstration).
	3:37pm Victrola Tom: Preach it Todd! Even the No Fun League is finally getting it right and no longer siding with the Orange Treasonweasel in the White House!
	🎸 ♥ 3:37pm Frank In Queens: Nicely said Todd. And great set.
	♥ 3:38pm Spinning Giant: @motobro that's incredibly selfish and arrogant...we need to be talking about this...all of us...
	🎸 ♥ 3:38pm Hoboken Jack: Well said, Todd, as always. #blm
	♥ 3:38pm McGroovey: Pow
	3:39pm JakeGould: An remember you can always pledge to the station if you will: pledge.wfmu.org
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm Hoboken Jack: Hello groovy McGroove
	3:39pm Victrola Tom: I’ve always said Todd is a stand up guy! Now he even does his show standing up!!
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm bk845: I know WFMU has been pointedly apolitical for the past three years, since we all enjoy a break from the shenanigans going on in Washington and elsewhere, but thank you Todd for taking the time to talk about current events and opportunities to protest peacefully.
	3:40pm Jennica: Well said, bk845.
	3:40pm Joe B: "Just spin the music." curious what you hope to accomplish with a comment like this?
	♥ 3:40pm Spinning Giant: @bk845 well said. Support
	3:41pm gauche knee: Pleasantly surprised & moved by your succinct words. Keep spinning the tunes & speaking the truth, Todd!
	3:43pm Edward: Joe B: Well, he accomplished me thinking “what a dipshit.”
	🎸 ♥ 3:44pm Mike Sin: Thanks for speaking it plainly, Todd. In 2020, there is not a lot more racism or brutality in the USA -- just a hell of lot more video cameras.
	3:44pm Nick K (Killer): Thought FMU was the one place I didn’t have to hear all this shit
	3:44pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks fpr listening everyone. I know my main purpose here is to entertain but I also realize I have a microphone and sometimes me and other station DJ's need to use it as an outlet for what they are thinking.
	3:45pm Frank Zaatar: Tod, thanks for speaking up--frankly it is more disturbing now when we say nothing. And especially for pointing out that the problem is not just "hate"--but whether or not there are consequences for acting on that hate.
	3:45pm kpx: All four of them, GUILTY of murder. the 3 that aided, life without parole. the cop with the knee on the neck, death sentence. but the sad reality of it is, that won't happen.
	3:45pm Joe B: @edward - well, sometimes if I am conducting an interview I will get an email or a comment telling me to shut up. Like, do you think I am going to cut the interview off and e like, sorry, this guy is right even though I invited you on the show?
	♥ 3:45pm Spinning Giant: @Nick K - again, if you can't cope, change the dial...your attitude is not welcome here...
	3:45pm Edward: Nick K: sucks to be you.
	3:46pm mike east: Thank you for speaking your mind toddophonic
	3:46pm Joe B: "Thought FMU was the one place I didn’t have to hear all this shit" wow a brief commentary drives you over the edge?
	3:46pm Frank Zaatar: *Todd"-hey, I can spell your name, I really can.
	♥ 3:47pm Spinning Giant: @Frank Zaatar - HA! LoL
	♥ 3:47pm Motobro: With the microphone comes great responsibility. You know I appreciate you Todd.
	♥ 3:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: I stand with Todd.
	3:47pm Joe B: "With the microphone comes great responsibility." so what was irresponsible about anything that was said?
	3:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Motobro wasn't complaining, Joe. But that's why you are The People's Champ! Defending me anyway!
	♥ 3:53pm Spinning Giant: Man, Jason Brewer (Explorers Club) sounds exactly like Steven Page (previously of Barenaked Ladies fame)...like, exACTly! I thought it was a new band of his...not that I was ever really a fan, but up here north of the 49th parallel, you couldn't get away from those dudes back in their heyday...just one of the many downsides to government-imposed required percentages of Can Con (Canadian Content) on the broadcast airwaves...
	3:53pm JakeGould: @JoeB In times of crisis you genuinely see who people really are. And I am to say you are a great person. Todd too.
	3:55pm Christina Low: @Spinning Giant I walked in the room and said that to my husband as the song was playing!
	♥ 3:56pm Bootsie: I'm just going to pretend this Sparks track is going out to ME!
	♥ 3:56pm Spinning Giant: @ChristinaLow, right...?! I thought maybe he finally got some taste in his old age, and put out something cool LoL!
	3:58pm flashbazbo: That moment bologna wasn’t trite Ha. Just got to share autocorrect
	♥ 3:58pm Bootsie: Yaaay! ;-)
	♥ 3:58pm Spinning Giant: @TOPT @Bootsie - YES! LoL!
	♥ 3:59pm Spinning Giant: this is definitely the prettiest tune ive ever heard about this humble yard maintenance implement
	3:59pm Nordstrom: Love ya, Todd... thanks for speaking out. We have to believe that our country and its awful, broken shit-stem can be made better, some day. Deepest thanks to everyone who is out there putting their bodies on the line!
	4:01pm flashbazbo: Those thoughts weren’t to be heard anywhere else. I’m so sick of anonymous people with investigation sublet agendas. That would be invisible agendas.
	🎸 ♥ 4:03pm Matt Fiveash: Nick K- I doubt you're still here but that's a fucking stupid thing to say, for two reasons. One, Todd, and I think a lot of DJs on this radio station, feel compelled to comment where they normally wouldn't because we find ourselves in an unprecedented place in history right now, and it's very hard not to talk about it. Two- and this is what really burns my ass- you say WFMU is the only place you don't have to hear "this shit" (what is "this shit"? reality? current events? The notion that it's not cool to kill someone in handcuffs by kneeling on their neck?) as if an unpaid DJ, beholden to no one and nothing except a couple of FCC rules, speaking from the heart about the seismic changes happening in the world, is just more of the same thing you get on NPR, or Fox News, or Huffington Post Field & Stream or Juggs or wherever you get your information.
	♥ 4:05pm Spinning Giant: @MattFiveash - YES! gratitude
	4:05pm kpx: what's happening in our nation right now is so over the top outrageous that it can't be ignored. people are essentially protesting not only for the lives that have been takin. but to prevent lives from being taken. people can't depend on or trust a corrupt fascist law enforcement system the way it is set up now.
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm Frank In Queens: Wow, is Juggs still being published?! Nicely said Matt!
	4:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @MattFiveash: What Spinning Giant said.
	♥ 4:07pm Chop Scott: Bravo Matt.
	4:07pm JakeGould: What all you mensches just said.
	♥ 4:07pm Dominick: Amen Matt
	♥ 4:07pm Michael Shelley: @ matt - yes! @ Nick K - why would you think WFMU would be a place not to hear it? OR are you being passive aggressive? If you have a point of view or argument - let's hear it.
	🎸 ♥ 4:08pm Matt Fiveash: He's gotta go consult the op-ed in the latest issue of Juggs for the gotcha quote.
	4:09pm Joe Dolce: @NickK: What’s-a matter you? Gotta no respect? What-a you think you do? What you look-a so sad? It’s-a not so bad… It’s-a nice-a place… Shaddap-a you face!
	♥ 4:09pm Spinning Giant: WOW! This live performance is sensational! Cheers Todd for introducing us to another brilliant artist! gratitude
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm Matt Fiveash: Ai Giuseppe you put it-a so nice!
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Clay turned me on to Michael Rault. That song was one of my favorites.
	4:11pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Spinning Giant: Pearl and Michael usually perform with their own bands but during lockdown having been doing a bunch of IG live stuff etc..
	4:13pm flashbazbo: Some people’s job is to move an evil needle as far as they can anywhere they show up. The problem now is their desired outcome is getting in focus and it’s ugly for most people. they will end up like flies at the end of the season.
	♥ 4:13pm Spinning Giant: Amazing @TOPT - thanks for the tip! - I will definitely check that out - I just added their catalogue to my library - man, they sound so damn good together - they should make this an ongoing thing moving forward!
	4:14pm Victrola Tom: @Matt F well staled re: Nick K. Thank you.
	4:14pm Victrola Tom: Stated
	4:14pm Earth Walker: Thanks Todd and Crew Cool music Get out in the streets ALL Just did here in Nice France We are everywhere NO JUSTICE NO PEACE
	4:15pm Joe B: @ Joe Dolce and Fiveash - can someone do a cover updated for the pandemic? Cover up-a you face
	4:16pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: I've got The Brothers Italiano on speed dial!
	🎸 ♥ 4:16pm Matt Fiveash: Joe B- sounds like just the thing a wounded nation is crying out for!
	🎸 ♥ 4:17pm Matt Fiveash: Todd- haha!
	4:19pm Joe B: yes thanks, cool set! next time, more wings covers!
	4:19pm kpx: @Joe D, that-a was-a some spicy a-meat-a ball .
	♥ 4:19pm mariano: Damn you Joe Dolce, now I'm gonna have "Shaddapa You Face" stuck in my head all day!
	4:22pm gauche knee: Just want to vent: Some of the best dance floors/ nights of my life was a mix of awesome music & politics bringing all sorts of ppl together. Some of the best music is either explicitly political or inspired by it. No idea where the idea that u can’t have a blast & stand for something came from.
	4:23pm gauche knee: FMU has been doing it for years , maybe more covertly, but there’s a time to speak & do and I’m glad many DJ’s are doing.
	4:24pm Joe Dolce: At least-a you don’t get a billy club a stuck-a in you head!
	4:25pm Earth Walker: Joe that was so cool I’m gonna get me some Italian ice-cream for dessert
	♥ 4:26pm suzyhotrod: Todd! I'm just stopping by the say I had to work overtime today and having your show as a soundtrack is a treat. Back to work now.
	4:27pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @suzyhotrod: Can't wait to hear your show tomorrow!
	4:31pm kpx: Now it's time for everyone to do the tarantella. dutta duhda dutta duhda dutta dutta taduh.
	♥ 4:31pm Michael Shelley: Gotta love that the wfmu web player is showing the cover of a Richard Clayderman cd
	4:31pm Victrola Tom: Just when I thought the show couldn’t get any better we get a Mike L shoutout!
	♥ 4:31pm McGroovey: Hey, I like the Von Mons. I like them cuz they're even more ragged than my band.
	♥ 4:34pm mariano: Mamma mia, that's a spicy pepper-a spray-a!
	🎸 ♥ 4:39pm Mike Sin: re: "Gone and Passes By" Interesting -- every Watchband version I have has that harmonica overdub on top.
	♥ 4:39pm mariano: kpx: I'm imagining you as Frank Pentangeli chastising the band at Michael's son's first communion.
	4:40pm SesnG: let's rock baby
	4:40pm battleaxe: Clapping on this song is graduate level at points. I've tried to mimic it unsuccessfully.
	♥ 4:40pm Spinning Giant: JD = Je Dig (beaucoup, bebe, beaucoup)!!!!
	♥ 4:40pm Craig in MoTown: Could be one of my favorite songs! Hopefully the show happens in August.
	4:42pm Earth Walker: Mama Mia that’s a spicy meat a ball
	4:42pm kpx: Who-sa uppa for-a some Ital!. I got to find me a meatball sub. parmigiano of course.
	4:44pm Sylvia's Mother: Is the playlist in the right order?
	4:44pm lepson jooves: speaking of the Stones, it was Charlie Watts birthday the other day, time for some Ex Bats!!!
	4:44pm Earth Walker: Pop pop fizz fizz oh what a relief it is with justice for all Jail bad piggies judges and Presidents
	🎸 ♥ 4:45pm Mike Sin: Hey, thanks Todd! "Miss Amanda Jones" -- the Stones first real "1970s" track showing up in 1967.
	🎸 ♥ 4:46pm Mike Sin: That is Dave Aguilar on the Watchband track.
	♥ 4:46pm van chinski: Just checking in to say it's great to have Todd, the Skeleton Crue and all of WFMU still going strong during these tough times. WFMU is more of a necessity than ever in my life these days. I just wish "Shaddap You Face" wasn't invading my head space right now...
	4:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @van chinski: Thanks, brother. It's good to know that it seems like a lot of people are appreciating what we do more than ever right now.
	♥ 4:49pm McGroovey: I got all the Chocolate Watchband CDs that came out on Sundazed in the '80s, and it was clear that there must have been plenty of drama behind the scenes (session musicians replacing the band or some of the and, etc). I guess I'm vaguely aware that more real-band versions have come out since those Sundazed CDs, but I haven't kept track. But they're fine records, no matter who's playing and singing.
	4:50pm Nick K (Killer): To all whom did not like my comments I’ve been a listener for well over 5 years now and donate to the cause I tune into FMU to get away from all the news and political driven media I don’t need to be fed someone’s views of the current situation we are in just the way I feel, yes murder is horrible no matter where or how it happens agreed but I’m done with this always victims narrative driven by left leaning media
	4:50pm kpx: Earth Walker, I say let them suffer.
	4:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Nick K: You are entitled to your opinion.
	4:51pm Renzi: Guy walks into his kids bedroom and catches him masturbating. "Son, don't do that...it'll make you go blind." Kid says "Dad, I'm over here."
	4:52pm Nick K (Killer): Oh and Im still here and not going away
	4:52pm Joe Dolce: You-a ask me a-lotta the world problems go away if-a few Italian grandmas show up-a and give a good smack-a the racists up side-a the head! “You an orphan or something? You need a hug? Why-a you shame-a you family!”
	4:52pm Nick K (Killer): Thank you Todd, spin on
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm Matt Fiveash: Nick K- no one's "feeding" you anything. Turn off your radio for ten minutes and come back and Todd'll be back to playing Slade
	♥ 4:53pm McGroovey: @NickK the truth is the truth. You're free to ignore the truth if you want to. Just pretend it's not the truth, and you'll feel fine. You're entitled to your opinion, sure, and everyone else is entitled to theirs, but there's no rule or law that says Todd has to shut up, so there's no reason why he should. And facts are facts, whatever the opinions are.
	4:57pm Joe B: "always victims narrative" ... so you'd prefer the oppressor's narrative? puzzling stance.
	4:57pm scott: Any one can find a reason to be unhappy or dissatisfied, even in the best of times. Count your blessings assholes.
	🎸 ♥ 4:58pm Frank In Queens: Well Nick, if you don't need it, then you can tune out and do without it. Or you can suck it up and put up with it for the relatively fleeting moment that you're "forced" to be confronted with it. It won't be long before the music starts again; only slightly longer than the amount of time it took you to tell the host of the radio show you chose to tune it to what he shouldn't say on his own show. You're bit about victim's narrative is hilariously ironic BTW.
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm Frank In Queens: Proofreading is a good thing...
	♥ 5:01pm McGroovey: Yeah, I usually discover typos in my post AFTER I post them, and I wish I could edit my idiocy.
	♥ 5:02pm McGroovey: I saw Brendan Benson live at the student center at Ithaca College in the early '00s. I suppose there were 30 people there--mostly college students, so I was probably the oldest one there. He was great, and had a great power-popping band with him.
	♥ 5:04pm mariano: When I want some good victimology, I just watch one of Trump's press conferences. His campaign song should be "Charlie Brown" ("Why is everybody always pickin' on me?"). PS: left-leaning media, lol. Go visit a country that has an actual left wing.
	♥ 5:05pm McGroovey: At the time, I was listening to all Brendan's albums up to that point in heavy rotation, but somehow I got out of the habit, and I haven't listened to any of them in ten years or more. This reminds me I should pull them out again.
	🎸 ♥ 5:05pm Hoboken Jack: Really enjoyed that interview, thanks Todd! I've been a fan of Brendan Benson a long time (haven't seen him live) and I'm glad to know he's such a good guy.
	5:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Hoboken Jack: The two of you have at least that much in common!
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm medson: This is great. Thanks Todd
	♥ 5:06pm common: enjoying in philly, todd! thank you!
	5:07pm Victrola Tom: Really enjoying this Brendan Benson set!
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm Artie: Power To The People!
	5:08pm flashbazbo: Whenever one speaks a humanitarian thought now someone needs to be recognized as the "other side" of that issue. Or else free speech is at risk or something. If you say anything other than "both sides do it" you will get this whining and kvetching about the unfairness of it all.
	5:08pm Earth Walker: Artie ! I was screaming that big time today
	5:09pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @flashbazbo: Yes, I think Michael was touching on that issue on his show earlier today.
	5:11pm flashbazbo: I'll check the archive Todd. Stay human.
	5:11pm MFlynn: Thanks Todd for introducing me to Mr. Benson’s music! Great stuff!!
	5:13pm Billy: No, Floyd shouldn't have been killed, but he was, generally, a piece of crap, and I do get tired of being told that I need to care about such people. Is that sort of opinion OK here? Seems like it may not be.
	5:13pm MelindafromAustin: I think this dude is channeling ...
	5:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Billy: Did you know George Floyd personally? Otherwise, I'm not sure how you can say that with such authority.
	5:17pm MelindafromAustin: BTW people: no one is asking you to judge the character of murder victims. The point is murder is not OK. Your character judgements mean nothing in the scheme of things. Human life means everything. This bullshit is the same thing as justifying why it’s a woman’s fault when she gets raped, or saying that poor people deserve to starve, or sending people to prison for minor drug offenses.
	♥ 5:17pm Fuzzy: Billy is OK with cops summarily executing people in the streets. Another one who is definitely "entitled" to their opinion.
	🎸 ♥ 5:17pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you Melinda
	🎸 ♥ 5:18pm Frank In Queens: Billy fucking loves it!
	5:18pm Joe B: Billy maybe you should try caring about out of control cops. look at it that way. because the next knee could be on your throat, and we'll be on here debating on what kind of piece of crap you were
	🎸 ♥ 5:18pm Frank In Queens: Billy also doesn't have the guts to post under his account name.
	🎸 ♥ 5:19pm Hoboken Jack: People's Champ with a knockout blow!
	5:19pm Billy: No, MFlynn, I didn't know him personally. Neither did I know Charles Manson, but I did read about him, and he pretty much sucked. Have you looked into Floyd's history or are you just buying the hype?
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm Frank In Queens: The People's Champ was always a better bare-knuckled brawler!
	♥ 5:20pm Michael Shelley: "I do get tired of being told that I need to care about such people." - MIND BLOWN
	♥ 5:20pm McGroovey: Being a piece of crap is not normally an offense that carries a death sentence. And I'm having trouble finding the offense of Being a Piece of Crap in the legal codes or in common law. But if it were, a lot of us would find ourselves under the death boot.
	5:21pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Billy: I'm sure he was a better human being than you just from your comments here.
	🎸 ♥ 5:21pm medson: Troll
	♥ 5:21pm McGroovey: This live Sweet rocks.
	5:22pm Billy: Frank, I have an account name? I typed Bill and Billy came up. Besides, what would I be afraid of?
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Pedro in Arlington: Music? I got tons of it in a variety of formats. I love my WFMU imaginary friend deejays because they're smart, funny people who speak interesting stuff. Those who don't dig can groove on Pandora or whatever dreck is pumped out by I Heart Raydeeoh.
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm medson: @McGroovy very much so
	5:22pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @McGroovy: Right? What a band!
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Frank In Queens: If I had opinions like yours Billy, I'd probably keep them to myself.
	5:23pm Joe B: buying the hype? sounds like you are buying hype from police
	♥ 5:23pm slugluv1313: thank-you, MelindafromAustin
	5:24pm Bily: I am really dumb. The dumbest ever. Look at dumb me!

	5:24pm Earth Walker: Bad Billy. Go directly to your room Do not pass go do not collect $200 Stand in the corner and face the wall
	5:24pm Joe B: comparing a guy who forged a check to charles manson is no way to go through life
	♥ 5:25pm Fuzzy: All bootlickers, whatabouters, and other assorted Devil's Advocates can fuck right off -- imma listen to some Sweet now!
	🎸 ♥ 5:26pm DonJuanTijuana: @TOPT Thx for rocking me out today...driving on the road & hearing War Pigs come on, mandated a spin of the dial to max volume of 10!!! That Green/Blue track sounded like JAMC...Yowza!!!
	♥ 5:26pm Bootsie: Best advice I ever received in my usenet days: "DFFT — don't feed the trolls." They are sad and lonely people who just want attention. Interacting with them is of no benefit to anyone.
	5:27pm Billy: In no way, do I support that scummy cop. Where does anyone get the idea that I do? Hopefully, he gets his just rewards in prison. But some of the ad hominem attacks against me here, answered my question. That is, opposing viewpoints are unwelcome.
	🎸 ♥ 5:27pm medson: Sweet set. Pun intended. Glam it up
	♥ 5:27pm Bootsie: Mind you, I don't always TAKE said advice... ;-)
	5:28pm Joe B: Floyd's character is irrelevant, why you so focused on that?
	5:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Billy: What you said about George Floyd wasn't a viewpoint, it was an attack. There is room for rational debate.
	♥ 5:28pm Michael in Montclair: @TOPT, thanks for the live Sweet set! RIP Steve Priest.
	5:29pm JakeGould: @JoeB: Small correction… The cops were called on George Floyd because he supposedly tried to pass a fake $20 bill at a corner grocery. The owners of the store actually tried to stop the cops from their actions. And they were so upset by what happened they issued a statement condemning not only the actions but have changed their store policies as to when coos are called. And they paid for a George Floyd’s funeral.
	5:30pm Billy: Joe B, clearly you're unaware of the circumstances behind his 5 years in prison not so long ago.
	5:30pm Joe B: that's still irrelevant
	5:32pm JakeGould: “But some of the ad hominem attacks against me here…” Says the man making ad hominem attacks against a dead man who was murdered.
	♥ 5:33pm Bootsie: @JakeGould I did not know the store owners paid for his funeral. That was a kind gesture.
	5:33pm Joe B: Billy why are you so offended by people mourning someone murdered at the hands of the police in broad daylight? You bring up his past because you either think he deserved it or you don't give a fuck that he was murdered.
	5:34pm lepson jooves: man, I was never much of a Sweet fan, but I'm digging this!!
	5:34pm Joe B: those are the only two possibilities I can think of
	♥ 5:34pm McGroovey: So Billy is expressing that it shouldn't be a big deal to kill (oops!) a guy who's committed crimes in the past, or just got arrested for (allegedly) committing a minor crime. But which crimes? Reckless driving is a crime that can have deadly consequences. Is that a crime it's OK for the cops to kill you over? Asking for a friend.
	5:34pm Billy: Joe B, it's totally relevant (to why I don't feel any love for Floyd). I think a lot of people here just hate cops more than they hate criminals, and that's why they scream such platitudes as No Justice, No Peace.
	5:35pm Leonardo: Wow, this is just like being on the internet.
	5:35pm Joe B: Ok so there it is - you sympathize with the cops. disgusting
	♥ 5:36pm Spinning Giant: Billy, if you're a cop and just coming on here to whinge, at least have the balls to say so...
	5:36pm Billy: I like to argue and be dumb.
	♥ 5:36pm McGroovey: You don't have to love someone to accept that they shouldn't be subject to summary execution.
	5:36pm Sylvia's Mother: "his 5 years in prison not so long ago" doesn't mean he's not entitled to due process! Aren't you glad you'd get due process?
	5:37pm battleaxe: @Billy... mission accomplished
	♥ 5:37pm slugluv1313: i am guessing that every sex worker on the planet has been passed a fake $20.00 bill (not to mention every retail operation, restaurant, etc. that deals with cash) do cops murder the tricks that passed those fake bills? do others question the "character" of the tricks?
	🎸 ♥ 5:37pm Hackensack Slim: Lotta Platform Shoe scuff marks on that Rainbow Floor I'll bet.
	♥ 5:38pm McGroovey: Hey, look, we can argue about politics, while we listen to one of the most apolitical bands on the '70s. Ain't freedom great?
	5:38pm Billy: McGroovey, how about armed robbery in which he held a gun to the stomach of a pregnant woman? Is that bad enough, or is that just a little insignificant sexual harassment?
	5:38pm Matt Fiveash: Billy, it is certainly important to do what you like and it looks like that’s what you’re doing.
	🎸 ♥ 5:38pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Teenage son just asked me "why is WFMU playing so many songs by the Sweet?" I told him that Steve Priest died and my son replied "'Love is like Oxygen" is my favorite Sweet song. I've loved it since I was a toddler."
	🎸 ♥ 5:39pm medson: Aren’t there other places this dude can go to? You’re being patient with this guy Todd
	♥ 5:39pm Chop Scott: These live tracks are ferocious! Thanks Todd.
	♥ 5:39pm Fuzzy: Oh, YEAH!
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Corey: Hope you've enjoyed your two minutes of hate, Billy. Meanwhile...this live Sweet is killing it.
	5:40pm Billy: Dumb lives matter!
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Frank In Queens: I can almost guarantee that Billy has a Punisher sticker on his car.
	♥ 5:40pm McGroovey: If the guy actually has a gun held to someone right now, of course. That's probably justified to save a life. But Floyd was not an imminent thread to anyone, so don't raise that strawman.
	5:41pm Joe Dolce: All-a these people who-a day “Goodbye! You piss-a me off!” are-a still here?!? Make-a uppa you mind!
	5:41pm Vertual: Well, not to get off topic, but lovin this Sweet set. When i was in 4th grade a classmate brought a 45 of Little Willie for us to hear during recess on the blue/gray califone record player. Was a bit more exciting than Seasons in the Sun.
	♥ 5:42pm Fuzzy: What a killer band!
	♥ 5:42pm McGroovey: Ballroom Blitz was my favorite song when I was 10. It's still up there.
	5:43pm Billy: FYI...there's someone posting one-liners right now using my name. They're not my words. Would that person please stop? Thanks ever so.
	5:43pm Hyperskee: Awesome Todd 0
	🎸 ♥ 5:43pm Frank In Queens: Shit, I couldn't tell the difference!
	♥ 5:43pm McGroovey: Man, Steve Priest is killing the bass. In a good way.
	♥ 5:43pm jake6573: Little willy, first 45 ever bought
	5:44pm Billy: I'm Billy and I stink.
	5:44pm Billy: I'm just a jerk. A Trumpanzee.
	🎸 ♥ 5:44pm Frank In Queens: Thanks Todd. I didn't know about that live disc.
	5:44pm Victrola Tom: Breaking News: Russian trollbots infiltrate WFMU message board to try and sow dissension amongst the Todd-O-Phonic Todd faithful, AND FAIL MISERABLY!
	♥ 5:44pm McGroovey: Hey, fake-Billy, stop it. You're going to make me start taking real-Billy's side.
	♥ 5:45pm mariano: "No, Floyd shouldn't have been killed, but he was, generally, a piece of crap" Huh. I think that someone who makes a statement like that is pretty clearly an even bigger piece of crap. And quit pretending you give a toss about his murder.
	5:45pm Billy: Why, yes, I have a Punisher sticker. What of it?
	5:45pm kpx: if you think about it, a dirty corrupt cop with a license to kill is the ultimate criminal. and therefore should be dealt with greater scrutiny.
	♥ 5:45pm McGroovey: Fake-Billy is an actual jerk; real-Billy is just wrong, but possibly not a jerk.
	5:46pm Billy:: I hate me now ..
	♥ 5:46pm mariano: I think some people (cough Billy cough) would be much happier in North Korea. Now there's a country where people respect the police.
	5:46pm Joe B: @Tom - tuning in from Ventnor?
	5:46pm Billy: No, I'm definitely a jerk. Take it from me, Billy.
	5:47pm MelindafromAustin: @hobokenjack @slugluv1313 solidarity & love!
	5:47pm Billy: McGroovey, once again, Floyd's record has no bearing on his murder. It does, however, have some bearing on how much love I feel for him. I said that at the very beginning. I'd rather save my love/support for an actual decent person.
	5:48pm Billy:: I don't know what to think ... huhuhu
	5:48pm Joe B: who said you had to love him? in case you haven't noticed, floyd's just the latest in a too-long pattern.
	♥ 5:49pm Bootsie: Liking this Goldie Dawn cover!
	5:49pm Joe B: "I'd rather save my love/support for an actual decent person." thin blue line talking now. got it.
	5:49pm Victrola Tom: @Joe B sadly no, rented the place out for the summer. Tough decision, but the feeling was it’s not going to be a normal summer anyway. And actually happy to be back in ‘boken, listening from the backyard!
	5:49pm Billy: And besides, McGroovey, The Sweet did do Teenage Rampage, a tiny bit political.
	5:49pm Joe B: @Tom - wow, on the bright side at least you were able to rent it!
	5:50pm Billy: I don't understand why everyone makes fun of me just because I pull my pants down around my ankles when I pee at a urinal. It doesn't make my opinions any less valid.
	5:51pm Victrola Tom: @Joe B the place was in high demand, as no one wants to get on a plane for vacation right now!
	5:51pm Billy: I also poop with my pants around my waist sometimes.
	5:51pm Joe B: ah good point, well at least the sweet (pun intended) rental cash coming in!
	♥ 5:51pm Spinning Giant: @Billy shut up... you're such an asshole...
	5:52pm Victrola Tom: Is it wrong that fake Billy is cracking me up right now?
	♥ 5:52pm mariano: I bet law and order is the first thing on your mind as you score your weekend eightball and try to finagle a hummer from a stripper in the VIP room, Billy.
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm Corey: Great show, Todd! Appreciate the rock and roll and the humanity. Thanks Ruth for keeping the station humming. Be well all.
	♥ 5:53pm Spinning Giant: @VictrolaTom...No! :)
	♥ 5:53pm slugluv1313: @ Joe B -- exactly -- what human gets to judge/decide who else is actually "decent"?!?
	🎸 ♥ 5:53pm Hoboken Jack: Spinny! I missed a little earlier, was it discussed that it IS Steven Page on the Explorers Club record? Pretty cool. Todd thank you so much. I truly love almost everybody here.
	♥ 5:54pm Michael in Montclair: I watched footage of Sweet on YouTube recently and was blown away by Mick Tucker's drumming. Obviously Bonham and Moon will come to mind as legends, but Tucker drumming was very underrated
	♥ 5:54pm slugluv1313: @ mariano -- ha ha, right? AND slip the stripper(s) fake bills for tips :)
	♥ 5:54pm Spinning Giant: @slugluv1313...apparently, Billy and his miniscule cock..
	🎸 ♥ 5:54pm Frank In Queens: Mystery solved! Thanks Jack!
	♥ 5:55pm radioronan: Thanks Todd. Fine program.Thanks skeleton crew.
	5:55pm Billy: Slugluv1313, well, judges for one. And one of them judged that Floyd was decidely not decent, sentencing him to 5 years.
	5:55pm MFlynn: Thank you Todd for another super show! Have a great week.
	5:56pm Victrola Tom: After that Sweet set and now this awesome follow, hard to imagine we started 2+ hours ago with Iggy, MC5, & War Pigs! Great show maestro Todd!
	5:56pm Billy: Knock, knock.
	5:57pm Joe B: thanks Todd, can you call work and explain how this soda got all over the laptop!
	5:57pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: You're welcome everyone! Same time, same station next week. Thanks for listening...
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm Frank In Queens: Todd, what's on Svengoolie tonight?
	♥ 5:58pm slugluv1313: thank-you, Todd!
	5:58pm JakeGould: Thanks Todd! Your mensch level has been boosted!
	5:58pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Victrola Tom: I do it all for you (and everyone else).
	♥ 5:58pm McGroovey: We can have our personal opinions about who is decent, but only an official court should be able to decide who's liable to punishment, for actual crimes committed. It matters not one bit whether the person is a POS.
	♥ 5:58pm Spinning Giant: Rockin show Todd, as always..thanks everyone for the frank and honest shit chat....
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm Benoni: A Judge sentencing a person is called due process of law—not murder. Law lesson of the day.
	5:59pm battleaxe: Another in a long line of great shows...Thanxz TOPT!
	♥ 5:59pm Fuzzy: Thanks, Todd!
	♥ 5:59pm Spinning Giant: *Chit chat LoL ;D
	🎸 ♥ 6:00pm Frank In Queens: No Spinny, you were right the first time.
	♥ 6:00pm McGroovey: I just went away to look up the writer's credit for "Teenage Rampage" (yes, written by the band, not Chapman/Chinn or whoever), but I did discover the song title "Own Up, Take a Look at Yourself", which I don't know, so I want to listen to it now. I hope it's a good song.
	♥ 6:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Todd. Sweet dreams!
	♥ 6:00pm Michael in Montclair: Thanks for the awesome setlist today Todd! And thank you for speaking your mind!
	6:00pm Billy: Well, you know that's the penalty for fake 20 bills. Death in the street.
	♥ 6:00pm Bootsie: Great show, as always!
	6:00pm Billy: McGroovey, as I said, an official actually did decide he wasn't very decent.
	♥ 6:00pm Spinning Giant: Mekons! Yes!
	🎸 ♥ 6:00pm Frank In Queens: Nice show Todd, again. Cheers (almost) everyone! See you all next week.
	♥ 6:00pm McGroovey: Thanks TODD!
	♥ 6:00pm mariano: Thanks Todd! Enjoy licking those boots Billy!
	🎸 ♥ 6:00pm Hoboken Jack: Billy, don't be a hero.
	♥ 6:01pm juan: Todd, thanks for another great show!
	6:01pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: Thanks for the great set, Todd!
	♥ 6:01pm Spinning Giant: Billy SUCKS!
	♥ 6:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Ruth!
	♥ 6:01pm McGroovey: No, an official decided he was guilty of a particular crime. That's not the same thing as judging him "not decent" which doesn't have legal meaning.
	6:01pm Billy: Now you're just making a mockery of me!
	6:02pm Sylvia's Mother: Is that you, crying, Ruth?
	♥ 6:02pm slugluv1313: @ McGroovey -- yes exactly
	🎸 ♥ 8:33pm Handy Haversack: Sure wish I could have been here for the show today, Todd -- but I am just going to thank you, sound unheard, for what you do, and who you are. We need so much to hear DJs putting their passion and conscience into their sets. It makes every bit of the struggle easier to know that someone like you, Joe, Matt, Ken, you're all there too. Thanks, Todd. Thanks for all you do.
