	8:21pm pp: Gar Bacon ... what a name, that is all
	8:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Becky and honkers. How's it going? I'm a lot less worked up this week compared with last Wednesday.

	8:32pm Little Danny: I swear I have something by him called "He Gave Her to Me"
	8:33pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Never occurred to me that the Edwin Bruce cut on Sun was Ed Bruce. I dug his version of Maverick theme on the 80s reboot. Didn’t he also write, “See the Big Man Cry”?
	8:34pm lothianman: Not sure if there is a difference between Ed and Edwin but in any case it certainly shows how greet rockabilly maringinlizes the big stars. thanks Becky for striking a blow for the great ones
	8:37pm Becky: Dungaroos - he did! Such a great song.
	8:38pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @Becky: Sure is
	8:41pm maester gardeneers of Lansing Michigan: My my, was that an on cinema reference? You a Greg-head?
	8:41pm Concerned: Why is almost every DJs mike distorting lately?
	8:42pm Concerned: * mic

	8:42pm Becky: Sorry - is it? I'll see what I can do.
	8:43pm Concerned: Just sounds pretty hot relative to the music
	8:44pm listener 126464: Willie is doing keynote address for SXSW Virtual 2021.
	8:45pm ultradamno: Well, the list seems to speak to how politicized everything, including artistic expression, has become by people who complain incessantly about celebrities they disagree with talking politics and under a president largely riding on the fame of hosting a TV show.
	8:45pm ultradamno: That sentence could be tighter, but it annoys me.
	8:46pm Handy Haversack: Gonna allow it, ultradamno.
	8:47pm Becky: Nominations are submitted to the National Council on the Arts, the advisory committee of the National Endowment for the Arts, who then submits its recommendations to the White House for the President of the United States to award.
	8:47pm Becky: Like, I doubt it.
	8:49pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Becky! I've been busy and distracted. This has kept me from HTRG for a spell. What a pleasure to tune in and hear that Johnny Cash tune. I hope all is well. Happy New Year! May you ignore the nonsense and smile smile smile!
	8:50pm mariano: Hey Becky, Scott, folks. Coming out of lurk mode to say good evening and again good evening in farewell. Mr. Pumpy, we've made a jinx entrance, I see.
	8:50pm ericd: Lobbying once again for an al Mel Tillis show on HTRG.
	8:50pm ericd: all* no al
	8:50pm PigeonsAndRust: A friend of mine who is 65 and immunocompromised and super careful just called to tell me he got Covid at the doctor's office last week and is pretty sick. Another friend's mother died last night of Covid five days after getting the shot. I think I'm gonna take Willie's suggestion. Great show Becky, sorry to be a downer--just sitting home alone with the radio keeping me company
	8:51pm mariano: ericd: Is al-Mel Tillis a Middle-Eastern country star? ;)
	8:51pm Becky: No worries, Pigeon. What an awful time we're living through. Eric, my mom got me a Mel LP I didn't have so we might be set up to make that request a reality! Also, here's to Dolly's generous donation to make the vaccine possible!!
	8:51pm ericd: @mariano ha!
	8:51pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, you owe me a casaba melon.
	8:52pm mariano: Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear such sad news, PigeonsAndRust.
	8:52pm ultradamno: I can't imagine the president himself would be calling people along the process to push along favoritism to people who amplify his causes when he could be devoting his time to a global pandemic. Doesn't seem like the kind prioritizing he's been known for at all.
	8:52pm steveo: Where does the time go? Great show tonight. Thanks, Becky!
	8:52pm Handy Haversack: Argh, PigeonsAndRust. Sympathy and pixie. What a shitshow things are. Getting drunk is a perfectly acceptable response. Mariano, Mr. P, you two cantaloupe. We need to publish the banns.
	8:52pm ultradamno: I don't know any of that to be true but...you know, it is.
	8:52pm mariano: Mr. Pumpy: As long as it's not [shudder] cantaloupe. Handy: Say cantaloupe again! I dare you!
	8:53pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the music, Becky.
	8:53pm Handy Haversack: Crapdangit! steveo with the good point. Thanks, Becky! This was fire. Stay angry. Nothing is solved. Let's be mad! What, Mariano? I was just discussin' the nuptshals!
	8:53pm Mr. Pumpy: Pigeon...my thoughts with you and yours.
	8:53pm loveless: @PigeonsAndRust Sorry to hear that bad news. I'm doing the same, staying home, listening to the radio & socializing on the chat board. Stay safe and wish you the best.
	8:54pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy! Ol' Mellon Head...
	8:54pm mariano: Hah! Good one Mr. P. Not the melon, I'm the melon, she's my honeydew. Ol' melonhead, that's what they call me...
	8:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: @PigeonsAndRust - Yikes! That's awful. I hope things turn around soon.
	8:55pm Handy Haversack: Well, Mariano, that melon scratcher is a honey of a dew.
	8:56pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, this song isn't going anywhere good!
	8:57pm ultradamno: Hey, free booze. What could go wrong?
	8:57pm BVP: sounds like an evening at The Night of Joy.
	8:58pm mariano: You know what you are, Handy? Melon-happy, that's what!
	8:58pm listener 126464: Cheers Becky, everyone!
	8:58pm Crudbringer: Yes, thank you Dolly for stepping up where Bloomberg and Musk and AtJack and Zuck and Cuban could not.
	8:59pm ultradamno: I'm guessing George isn't concerned about what he'll think of himself tomorrow.
	8:59pm Freddy: Great show!
	8:59pm Crudbringer: Also thank you Dolly for helping teach my daughter to love to read.
	9:00pm PigeonsAndRust: Thanks for the sympathy, friends! It always cheers me to see how good the folks are on WFMU's message boards, especially since they're unmoderated. Thank you.
	9:00pm Mr. Pumpy: Isn't Melonhead an old Cajun revenge creature from out the LA bayou? Awakened with a melon scoop and alligator teeth?
	9:00pm MontageWO: @Becky - wonderful show! @PigeonsAndRust my heart goes out to you - I feel you
	9:01pm PigeonsAndRust: WFMU is a wonderful community. Thanks, Becky
