	♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack: Cooh John, you got back OK? Subways weren't too annoying?
	♥ 11:07am Squints: ↳ Bob @11:04 Which wouldn't be so bad except that in recent years March lasts until Memorial Day. Fortunately, the planet is warming. So we got that going for us.
	♥ 11:07am Joe McG: Great to be here today with you, folks! Michael Shelley's show is an inspiration to me, so I'm proud to be co-hosting for him. Pledge now!

	11:08am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:06 might be in omaha in june -- if lsu continues to excel in baseball, that is!
	♥ 11:08am Squints: ↳ Joe McG @11:07 Just did. Already SWL and pledged to Clay yesterday, but MS was my gateway show along with Bill Kelly.
	♥ 11:09am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:08 Oh nice
	♥ 11:10am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:08 I've never been to the CWS.
	11:10am clarke: how far is omaha from ya?
	♥ 11:10am Barno in Akron: Hey, it's Joe McGasko! Awesome!
	♥ 11:11am Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:10 I was going to say the White Sox aren't THAT big a deal. Heh.
	♥ 11:11am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Bat Poem" by "Liverpool Scene" I can't find the coasters in that photo.
	♥ 11:11am HyperDose: Hey, it's Barno. Double awesome!

	♥ 11:12am Handy Haversack: ↳ Squints @11:11 Marble countertops. Gotcha.
	11:12am clarke: nice! i went to a CWS game when it was in Rosenblatt Stadium - didn't get to stay for the final game - but lsu won it that year.
	♥ 11:12am Barno in Akron: ↳ HyperDose @11:11 Hey, it's HyperDose. Hyper-Awesome!!! Great to see you, friend!
	♥ 11:13am myron feld: I agree, Mr. McGasko is the nicest person at WFMU. He has always handled my S4L inquiries with grace and speed. Or Mother, Jugs and Speed. Either way, nice guy!
	11:13am Peter Horvath: #swagforlife
	♥ 11:13am Squints: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:12 I was thinking more the nature of the particular room.
	♥ 11:13am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:12 The new park is really quiet nice, almost too nice.
	11:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm real curious what other Beths trax are like !! It's 'Pop Music' In Our Universe Dept.
	11:13am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:13 RIP Raquel!!
	♥ 11:14am Barno in Akron: ↳ myron feld @11:13 So true! Joe McGasko is the man!
	11:14am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:13 oh the new park is GREAT! it is just not rosenblatt.
	♥ 11:14am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Squints @11:11 I'd go see the White Sox in Omaha! Hell, maybe I'll see them next time I'm in Chicago.
	11:15am wenzo: A rat of the week pledge
	♥ 11:15am Paulo AD: ↳ myron feld @11:13 I 100% agree, always checks that I meant to pledge hah
	♥ 11:15am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:14 No, it's not
	11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If there are questions about Pledging - CoHost JoeMcG is the man to ask !
	11:15am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:14 i'm pretty sure the cubs played a few exhibition games at the new park in omahaw!!
	♥ 11:16am Squints: CWS is the three-letter thing for the White Sox on every TV broadcast except for WGN, where it is of course SOX.
	11:16am clarke: the Iowa cubs.
	♥ 11:16am Squints: Whose club in Omaha is the AAA ballclub? It was the Royals for like forever but I've lost track.
	11:17am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:16 none, i was referring to the college world series.
	♥ 11:17am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:13 If only Cosby would follow her. I imdb-ed it to remind myself who else was in it: what a cast! Keitel! Butkus! Toni Basil as "Addict!"
	♥ 11:17am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:17 I know. I'd been giving you a mildly hard time over the CWS.
	11:18am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:17 keitel, yes, ha ha ha. first thing i think he was in??
	11:19am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:17 mildly!!
	♥ 11:19am Joe McG: Get oin the running for our first great prize today, The Beths!
	♥ 11:19am Handy Haversack: Wow, having kittens really makes the home-COVID test process go even more smoothly. We're fine. Everything's fine here. How're you?
	♥ 11:20am Dano59: I put in my Mouse-level S4L completion pledge earlier to Gina Bacon's Someday Matinee (Sat 5-7) on the Drummer stream. happy to support FMU and i hope you do too!
	♥ 11:20am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:18 And written by a Mankiewicz. Star-studded from the jump!
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:19 oh jeez. hope all's good.
	♥ 11:21am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:19 Breaking out the testing kits soon as well. feeling good, hoping the test confirms my health!
	♥ 11:21am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:20 Oh, it's just that we're going to visit a friend in the ICU (so that's not good) and then volunteering at the station later tonight, both of which need a home test. Keep clear of the cats, Frank!
	11:21am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:20 i really have no problem with welch's acting. always wondered why she got shit.
	♥ 11:22am Hughie Considine: The less saucy version: "I think you'll comprehend/ when i say that something/ I wanna be your FRIEND..."
	11:22am Toothgrinder Tom: I’ve been really enjoying Beatles covers lately for some reason.
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:21 ohhhh, ok. hope frank has simlar reasons.
	♥ 11:22am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Squints @11:16 Omaha Royals
	♥ 11:22am Hughie Considine: What is up, Mr. Clarke??
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:22 mornin' hugh!!!
	♥ 11:22am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:22 Yes. We'll be in the phone room during Todd's show.
	♥ 11:22am Squints: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:22 Still, phat? That's great.
	11:23am clarke: but do they play in that CWS park??
	♥ 11:23am Baja Joe: Good morning Michael S. & Joe M. This is going to be great!
	♥ 11:23am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Squints @11:22 Wait, they're the Storm Chasers now. They moved to Papillon.
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:22 VERY good sir!!!
	♥ 11:23am Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:22 Nice! Although we're in for Marty at 9, so we probably won't see you.
	♥ 11:24am Dano59: ↳ Song: "I Want To Hold Your Hand" by "Keely Smith" very Surface Noise-friendly track
	♥ 11:24am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:18 Nah, Keitel was in lots before MJ&S, most notably Taxi Driver (around the same time) and Mean Streets.
	11:24am Cooh John: Handy, my return was uneventful. Thanks again for the suggestion.
	♥ 11:24am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:23 Still Royals AAA, though.
	♥ 11:24am Magenta: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:19 I think I had a bad reaction to some Girl Scout cookies a few days ago, but aside from that I'm fine. Obviously my home tests were negative, and I'm otherwise in good health. Glad to hear things are fine with you and K8!
	♥ 11:24am Squints: ↳ Song: "The One (for BBC 4 "Loose Ends")" by "Lemon Twigs... No matter how many great records these guys make, and I bet there will be many, this song might always be my favorite of theirs.
	♥ 11:24am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "The One (for BBC 4 "Loose Ends")" by "Lemon Twigs... I love the sound of bro harmonies in the morning...
	♥ 11:24am Handy Haversack: ↳ Cooh John @11:24 Glad to hear it! Great to see you last night!
	11:24am clarke: ↳ myron feld @11:24 but M, J & S preceded Taxi Driver, right??
	♥ 11:25am Dano59: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @11:22 (don't let joe know that)
	♥ 11:25am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:24 was gonna say something similar
	♥ 11:26am Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, blah. I see that Bobby Caldwell has died. "What You Won't Do for Love" seemed to me like a #1 hit.
	♥ 11:26am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:23 Well, we're also doing dinner and we tend to hang awhile, so it is possible that we cross paths.
	♥ 11:26am Magenta: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:22 Todd's show was great to do phones for. You'll have a lot to do!
	♥ 11:26am Frank In Queens: ↳ Magenta @11:26 And I'll be struggling to hear the callers on the other end, I'm sure.
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:26 wait todd doesn't have level control issues with his voice??
	♥ 11:28am Frank In Queens: This time we didn't forget the gravy...
	♥ 11:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:26 AH, nice! That also fills me with confidence for the food! Maybe we will come a little early so as to feed. The vegan tacos at Calexico last night were good, but were they worth $6 each ... ?
	♥ 11:28am Magenta: There's a platypus in the phone room...?
	11:29am clarke: george ringo - i knew him!
	♥ 11:29am myron feld: ↳ clarke @11:24 Taxi Driver released Feb 76, MJ&S released May 76
	11:30am clarke: dang!! wow.
	11:31am clarke: that surprises me. baby... BABY!!!!!!!
	♥ 11:31am Handy Haversack: (Also, for the record, I'm a canoeist. Nothing against kayaks -- just can't fit the dog in one!)
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:31 and yet, Bagpipe is a kayaker
	♥ 11:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:32 Actually, he's a sailor! Totally slums it with us.
	11:33am clarke: and has an anchor tattoo.
	♥ 11:33am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:31 For just pennies a day, you can upgrade to an umiak!
	♥ 11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: Still have my copies of the red and blue albums that I got for Christmas
	♥ 11:34am Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:28 Tacos are never worth $6 a pop unless they're burritos.
	11:34am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:34 well said.
	♥ 11:35am Magenta: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:31 I haven't been on a canoe since Girl Scout camp but it was so relaxing and fun!
	♥ 11:35am myron feld: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:34 Tell it, young man.
	11:36am wenzo: Become Wfmu’s weird uncle… join swag for life
	♥ 11:36am Handy Haversack: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:34 Fucking Greenpoint, man.
	11:36am clarke: you're buying it a beer - it's taking your turn.
	11:37am roc: Force jonesy to keep the chat open so i can tell him i hate the rising
	♥ 11:37am Handy Haversack: OK! We do not have COVID! Gotta bust a move to get to the hospital here.
	11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...kayaking with a girl scout & a burrito for a $500 Pledge ...not really. Maybe next year...
	11:38am clarke: all the best handy!! be WELL!
	11:39am wenzo: Good luck HH!
	♥ 11:40am Creature Boy: Most people have 3 "L"s in their name. Little known fact
	♥ 11:40am Handy Haversack: Thanks, pals!
	11:41am clarke: CB!! sappnin?
	11:41am clarke: TOTALLY agree!! i didn't make it to the 15 min mark in the Everything piece of shit.
	11:41am Crei6hton: Morning WFMU
	11:42am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:41 meanwhile you have a CLASSIC like Fabelmans taking the backseat (pun intended).
	♥ 11:42am Ciggy: Everything Everywhere is Thie 1st time I agree with Michael on a bad film 👎
	11:44am clarke: kinksdom trio??
	11:44am markinbrooklyn: I agree, too— that award winning movie was a total mess!
	♥ 11:44am Christina Ginger: A bit late, but good morning, everyone 🥳
	♥ 11:44am Creature Boy: I liked Everything Everywhere All At Once . I hated the Oscar juggernaut Titanic
	11:44am clarke: hey CG
	11:45am Glistener MW: Thanks for being the #1 place I can reliably expect to hear J.Richman on the radio these past decades! <3
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Creature Boy @11:44 and i thought i trusted you, ha ha!!
	11:45am Bob: Is anyone watching Daisy Jones? I can’t decide how bad it is
	♥ 11:46am Hubig Pie: i like JR. Don't know about any recent movies, tho
	♥ 11:46am Creature Boy: Oscar Juggernaut is a good name
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:45 it's not that bad - it is just VERY cliche.
	♥ 11:46am love2laf: I was completely entranced with Everything Everywhere All At Once, but didn't think there would be anyone else who would enjoy it.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:45 i will have to say that the gear in the show (so far) is period correct.
	♥ 11:47am Frank In Queens: ↳ Bob @11:45 I'm watching reruns of The Heights instead.
	♥ 11:47am myron feld: I, too, liked Everything etc. Trippy fun. No "Mother Jugs & Speed" of course, but what is?
	♥ 11:47am Christina Ginger: ↳ Bob @11:45 I enjoy painful things like running marathons and listening to minimalist atonal classical, but I can’t force myself to be tortured that much by watching Daisy Jones.
	11:48am clarke: i couldn't make it to ten minutes of that piece of crap.
	♥ 11:48am listener phat in Lincoln: Sonny!
	11:49am clarke: i'm like surely jamie lee will save it - NOPE!!
	♥ 11:49am myron feld: Anyone watch "Swarm," the new Donald Glover thing which started last night? We watched three episodes. It's OK, but I miss "Atlanta."
	11:49am Bob: You know DJ wouldn’t be so bad if it just told the story in a linear way. I hate the rockumentary interview cliche so much. Especially making 25 year old actors look twenty years older badly.
	♥ 11:50am Listener Baby: Baby Joe. I think about your (potential) Name Check Premium, often. I’m running a mental list of ideas if you ever need some suggestions. Having fun today. You two should be a permanent pairing every year. Carry on.
	♥ 11:50am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Look Up" by "Harlem Gospel Travelers, The" So great. Ridiculously good.
	11:51am Toothgrinder Tom: @clarke what didn’t you like about it? (I haven’t seen it.)
	♥ 11:51am jmd: ↳ Song: "Look Up" by "Harlem Gospel Travelers, The" This song is so #1 is got enough leftover #1 power to make another #1. Terrific.
	♥ 11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ jmd @11:51 Well said
	♥ 11:51am Joe McG: ↳ Listener Baby @11:50 Thanks for donating such a fab grand prize!
	♥ 11:51am Squints: ↳ jmd @11:51 I went and got the CD after hearing this. The entire record is just great, great stuff.
	11:51am Toothgrinder Tom: The only movies nominated at the Oscar’s that I did see were ‘Wakanda Forever’ and ‘All Quiet On The Western Front.’
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:49 right! but, i figure i have to suspend some disbelief, as with that film ______ Heart - that merges carole king and brian wilson... have to look it up.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:53 Grace Of My Heart - i feel like the show and that film are very similar in the negative ways.
	♥ 11:54am Listener Baby: ↳ Joe McG @11:51 It’s my honor to do so.
	♥ 11:55am Frank Zaatar: ↳ clarke @11:46 I'd say somewhere Daisy Jones ranks halfway between Roadies and Emily in Paris for cringe.
	11:55am clarke: baby. BABY!!!!!
	♥ 11:55am Listener Baby: Clarke!
	♥ 11:55am drr: I liked EEAAO, but I do think it's ridiculous that any adult could pretend to care about a "multiverse." I thought they did put in a lot of other stuff I could care about. I also found it funny that the directors' previous opus was "Swiss Army Man", which looked like a concept Tim and Eric would consider and turn down.
	11:55am KWilde: That was a great interview with Jonathan Richman
	11:56am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:55 how/where are ya'll??
	♥ 11:56am drr: The Lesley Gore-based character in Grace Of My Heart is very funny.
	11:56am Toothgrinder Tom: It’s a labor of love, you might say.
	♥ 11:56am Listener Baby: Home
	11:56am clarke: ↳ drr @11:55 ohhhh, it's a comedy!! wow!
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: More & More is owned by Fewer & Fewer. As Michael Pollan says about food : It's still the Mom & Pop Farm on the label ...but it ain't no more. FMU perhaps is the opposite ? Presents as a Goof ...in fact it's the Last Real Thing - the beautiful little building left among towering brutalism monoliths in all directions.
	11:57am clarke: ↳ drr @11:56 i like Grace - but, had to just pretend i didn't know the real story.
	11:58am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:54 Yeah, that’s a good example. The Office sorta ruined the talking to the camera thing forever
	11:59am roc: I am also a latin teacher
	12:00pm clarke: the only movie i can think of where you know the real story and the film actually causes MORE suspense is Once Upon A Time In Hollywood - the more you know, the creepier the film!!
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:00 which is probably why most young people didn't get it.
	12:01pm clarke: here comes al, here comes joey....
	♥ 12:03pm dymphnite: I always forget what an amazingly natural guitarist he is. Just love this.
	♥ 12:03pm listener phat in Lincoln: Really hope I get to see Jonathan Richman again.
	12:04pm Bob: I just miss Jonathan’s old guitar sound so much
	12:06pm clarke: i think it's like the replacements thing where he is just seeing how far he can jack people around.
	♥ 12:06pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @11:53 I loved Grace of My Heart but it isn't very successful at what it aims to do -- it is really all over the place as a pastiche / roman-a-clef or whatever of the Carole King / Brill Building /60s pop-into-70s singer-songwriter epic story ... but kudos to Allison Anders for trying. Music and the stories around it are so central to her films.
	♥ 12:07pm Dano59: ... and I'm not gonna watch Daisy Joy or whatever it is cos the music and the sappy story seem to be blazingly hideous.
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:06 agree, but i still liked it!! like you say. the songs help!!
	♥ 12:07pm Frank In Queens: John Doe is one of my heroes.
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:07 i would like to hear your take on it. it is the same amount of aggravatingly cliche, but still endearing somehow.
	12:08pm Cooh John: I agree with you, clarke. Watched that movie last week.
	♥ 12:08pm myron feld: TWO great books, Joe! There's a volume 1 and 2.
	12:08pm DG: ↳ Frank Zaatar @11:55 I never finished "Roadies"----I think I watched 6-7 episodes & found it boring, not many interesting characters, etc. Given the subject (rock, touring, band/personal drama) I don't know why these series are so bad. Even worse was "Vinyl" (which I did sit thru all of), which apparently was more about violence, drugs & naked girls than anything music-related. Kept waiting for it to get better, but Scorsese & co. seemed more enamored by the bad behavior than the development of punk, disco, etc.
	12:08pm Mattynotimes: Great show guys!
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:07 quite the bass-player - which often gets overlooked!
	12:08pm Bob: The music in Daisy Jones is actually pretty good. I don’t know anything about who did it.
	♥ 12:09pm Creature Boy: I first heard Jonathan Sings which had stylistic problems and I didn't like the production much but there was something great about him. Egyptian Reggae IS great and was a British hit ,I believe. I DID see him with a band in the 80s which had ZERO production or stylistic issues. I wrote the Egyptian hit comment b4 Michael mentioned it I SWEAR. The Modern Lovers album is KING of course. A fantastic somewhat recent JoJo song is You Can Have A Cellphone That's Okay But Not Me!
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:08 it's okay. nowhere NEAR the anders film music, though.
	♥ 12:09pm myron feld: ↳ clarke @12:08 He certainly is. I love X very much, regardless of however nutty or disagreeable some of the members are.
	♥ 12:09pm drr: Y' know, I've seen three movies recently that I liked, thought they were fine, and then found out they all won Best Picture. Nomadland, Spotlight, Tom Jones. Spotlight especially was like All the President's Men Lite, nice Sunday night calmdown, but ...that was the Best Picture?
	12:10pm Bob: I saw X last summer and they were great. Saw Doe solo too. He is pretty much the coolest MFer in the world after Nick Lowe. He looks great at his age or any age.
	12:10pm clarke: oh, we're doin' MovieTime now? i guess so?? frank??
	12:11pm clarke: don't know about Nomadland?
	12:11pm Bob: I saw Tar. I liked it even though I’m not entirely sure why.
	♥ 12:14pm Hubig Pie: Nomadland - shot on location here in beautiful East-northern West Dakota.
	12:14pm Mattynotimes: The Oscars are just a political money show….they don’t truly dictate what’s good and what’s bad. Not to say there aren’t good films that get nominated but trying to find “bests” within anything pertaining to the arts has always been a fools game to me
	12:14pm clarke: my list is ALL free on the utube: - Edge Of Eternity (1955) - House Of Bamboo (1955) - The Beginning Of The End (1957)
	12:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Modern Lovers 1st album recorded 1971-3, not out til mid1976. Early Punk often delayed even blocked like that... Partly Produced by JohnCale - as were debuts of Stooges & PattiSmith. You know these things. Does it get enuff ProtoPunk Credit ?
	♥ 12:15pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:14 Is that last one the one with the grasshoppahs?
	♥ 12:15pm listener phat in Lincoln: One of the best double bills I ever saw was Lucinda Williams and John Doe. Goddamn, that was great.
	♥ 12:15pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:08 I just feel like I've seen/heard this story many times before (A Star is Born, anyone?) while Grace of my Heart was quite original, and compelling, blending invention with a series of real-life events. Fun fact: The scene of John Doe idly playing the 'Bonanza' theme in 'Border Radio' is NOT on the Criterion DVD; Luanna Anders told me whoever owned it wanted WAY too much money.
	12:16pm clarke: i also saw the new Luther film - which is more outlandish than it ever needed to be!!
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:15 and the ulp beeetles!!
	♥ 12:16pm Ciggy: Looking at Vigo Mortensen's bio I was surprised to see that he was married to Exene Cerverka
	12:17pm Mattynotimes: Modern Lovers are definitely a huge influence in punk rock movement
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:15 that's like the best scene in that movie!!!
	12:17pm egould: Speaking of John Doe /X and St Patrick’s Day and riots…. https://twitter.com/punkrockstory/status/1636948124806656000?s=46&t=DYhZk84ZT4VY8OfSy1Q__Q
	♥ 12:17pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Sweetheart" by "Jon Doe" lovely tune!
	♥ 12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dano59 @12:15 Oh damn. I keep meaning to get Allison Anders here to our local art house.
	12:18pm clarke: @Dano - you sent me down a (nice) rabbithole with that cassette archive! thnx!!
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Award Shows of all kinds reinforce the worst High School popularity contest qualities of any Form. With just enuff of a boost to deserving lesser knowns to buy small cred. Like Oligarchs tossing dimes to good causes. PR. ...Some like the get together party for the Industry thing ...ok for them. Nothing for me...
	♥ 12:19pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:17 tell me about it! I have it on VHS too otherwise I might have forgotten it from late-'80s cable viewing
	♥ 12:19pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:18 I need to check that out still
	♥ 12:19pm Joe McG: John Doe, a heckuva guy and a unique singer. Get in the running!
	♥ 12:19pm drr: This week, besides a couple Oscar winners, I saw the doc "We Like It Like That" (mostly too surface but worth it just to see Joe Bataan explain how he taught himself piano), and "Funny Pages" which has lots of WFMU content. I loved the first half but it left all those interesting stories unfinished and forgotten. Could have been great. It was more like a Daniel Clowes comic than Ghost World was.
	12:19pm Bob: I saw Doe do a great audience interview and solo thing a few years ago in Ypsilanti. I made sure to ask him about his epic work in Roadhouse! He drank wine the entire time and went with a bunch of folks to the Tap Room across the street afterwards for beers and a drag show, which he loved. Great guy.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:18 agree, but the oscars used to have SOME kind of legitimacy!! no more!
	♥ 12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: I'm all pledged out, sadly. I have a couple clients who need to get me a check
	♥ 12:21pm Dano59: ↳ Bob @12:19 John and Exene came to do a staged interview in 2014 for a punk exhibit opening weekend at Cornell; he also did a club show and she came up for. at least one song. I missed the X reunion tour, alas...
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:20 i, too, have given all i can at this point this year. but, i can testify, still!!
	12:21pm SWK: Like this trust song!
	12:22pm Mattynotimes: I just watched the whale and thought it was eh
	♥ 12:23pm Dano59: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:17 Do it! I would travel to any Anders retrospective. (I'm one of the few who's. seen 'Strutter', at the Bearsville Theatre.
	12:23pm clarke: jordan!! sewed my hoodie!!
	12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:19 Well Hollywood of course is in the Glamour Business. But doesn't that mean they should be able to put on a Show ?? Again - what it is - the Bean Counters have made Culture all Top Down. The Artists & Writers are considered a nuisance. It's not for us. Yes - Show has always been Business - but they're only Showing us Business anymore. & they're clueless why the People care less all the time.
	12:24pm clarke: ooopa jordon!!
	♥ 12:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dano59 @12:23 I have a friend in common with her and I think she'd be down. Just have to sell it to the Exec. Director of the theater
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:23 but, it is like the voters are picking the most aggravating nominee just to make a point!!
	12:26pm Mattynotimes: I think Hollywood has become a money over glamour. That’s why less quality films get made now because there’s more money in turning out streaming crap then in films. Going to movies is astronomical.
	♥ 12:27pm Gordon Slumbers: Thanks, pledgers. Let's keep it going for Michael S.
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Mattynotimes @12:26 it was always money over glamour, really.
	12:29pm Mattynotimes: Totally
	12:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:25 The Oscars' obviously felt the pressure towards Diversity. @ least they acknowledged that. But it seems gestural & totally transparent to me. As for the Voters in the broader sense - I think in the USA people tend to Vote the Opposite of the Last Guy - & that's about the depth & extent of the memory or considerations in that Game of Power in our Society.
	♥ 12:29pm bnowb: Jonathan Richmond just played in my hometown Montclair... how did I miss this. He is a genius.
	12:29pm Mattynotimes: I mean swing politics are a real psychological thing
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:29 could be - but, there sit classic Films like 1917 and Fabelmans with no win. not good for posterity.
	12:30pm Mattynotimes: I thought Fablemans was terrible
	12:31pm clarke: i did not, obviously.
	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:30 Think of all the definitive Musicians who've never come close to the Grammies. This is my point about Award Shows.
	12:32pm Mattynotimes: Hahaha obviously. I wanted to like it so bad….like soooo bad. Some people just like yo hate Spielberg and I am not one of those people. But it just fell short for me in every way. I’m glad you got what you wanted out of it.
	12:32pm clarke: yes, but i never paid one bit of attention to the grammies (well only if the stones were on it)
	12:33pm morphe': Thanks M & JmcG & Vols & all !!!! must do a food run ....
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Or R&RHoF. They're all garbage. Turn On Tune In to FMU Drop Out.
	♥ 12:34pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "Ultimatum" by "Televisionaires" Ah yes, this song (and album) is a favorite in our house.
	♥ 12:34pm Dave from SLC (formerly the ROC): Thanks for representing Rochester, still my hometown despite being 2000 miles away. Another suggested Rochester artist: McFadden's Parachute.
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:33 again, never cared for that shit. the oscars actually MEANT something once!
	♥ 12:35pm drr: Grammys to Oscars is truly an apples-to-oranges comparison.
	12:36pm Trevor lake: Thanks, Mike!
	12:36pm Mattynotimes: Yea we all know that the Kids Choice awards is where all real connoisseurs of culture go!
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @12:35 It's a Movies to Music comparison. Otherwise the same syndromes seems to me.
	♥ 12:37pm Joe McG: Love this version of "Don't Think Twice" that's on Michael's premium! $75 gets you a copy of this 2 CD set!
	♥ 12:37pm Hubig Pie: Another side of Bobby G. !
	♥ 12:37pm Frank In Queens: 4/10 Sorry.
	12:37pm clarke: 9/10
	♥ 12:38pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:37 Hmmmmm....
	12:38pm clarke: ha HA HA
	♥ 12:38pm Michael Shelley: I just had to throw one in
	12:38pm clarke: the russian judge....
	♥ 12:38pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:38 I was getting nervous. Only 22 minutes to go!
	♥ 12:39pm drr: I think there's always been "Oscar bait", but it's gotten ridiculous when a flat0out bad movie like Paul Haggis' Crash wins because the message is so "important".
	12:40pm Mattynotimes: What was the message of that movie again? Celebrities run into each other in Hollywood all the time and get tied up in each others lives?
	12:40pm clarke: yer favorite bumper Dave!!
	12:40pm Mattynotimes: I’m listening from a St paddy’s float currently
	♥ 12:41pm drr: ↳ Mattynotimes @12:40 I don't remember, I just remember it was important.
	♥ 12:41pm Frank In Queens: Now do that for the app!
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:41 he always wants a burrito for the price of a taco!!
	12:42pm Mattynotimes: I’m coming in to volunteer tomorrow and I can’t wait!
	♥ 12:43pm Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:29 such gestures are untimately empty and just reveal how that company town's politics have nothing to do with art.
	♥ 12:43pm nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...been listening, but now I'm logging in
	♥ 12:43pm Hubig Pie: ...and why wasn't 'Showgirls' never nominated for nuthin' ?
	12:43pm clarke: nycmn!!! hay!!
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:43 it was not filmed in s. dakota!
	12:44pm Mattynotimes: Welcome my music nerd
	12:44pm clarke: (was it?)
	♥ 12:44pm nycmusicnerd: Only took 10min for that comment to post on my lousy home internet. Grr...
	12:44pm Mattynotimes: Oof sorry autocorrect got the best of me on that one
	♥ 12:45pm nycmusicnerd: Had to jump in to try for Televisionaries. Saw them at TV Eye and they were AWESOME!
	♥ 12:45pm Dano59: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:43 there should definitely be a Camp category. Showgirls is better than most people think. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is the ultimate camp classic
	12:45pm Mattynotimes: TV Eye is awesome
	♥ 12:47pm jmd: Viva SeaTac!
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:45 Dano - did you have a cassette in that archive?? what band, etc?
	12:48pm clarke: oh rochester!!!
	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dano59 @12:45 Entertainment value is legit. Agreed. Yerknow - Golden Age of Hollywood correlated to the Depression. It meant something to people. Like Music in the 1960s when all the developments of the Form happened. ...What is anything for anymore ??...
	♥ 12:49pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:18 here's another artist in the same vein - Benji Cossa. URL: freemusicarchive.org...
	♥ 12:49pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ clarke @12:43 Hey clarke! Hey Frank in Queens! And even though she's phone volunteering and probably not on the chat, hey Magenta!
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:49 but are you playing on these??
	♥ 12:50pm listener phat in Lincoln: For peace, justice, and the American Way!
	♥ 12:50pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Mattynotimes @12:44 Np Matty! :)
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:49 ray carmen was certainly worthwhile (but, only as a solo artist!)
	12:52pm clarke: i wore my patch yesterday
	♥ 12:52pm Frank In Queens: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:49 Hey there! I hope you win the Televisionaries!
	12:53pm clarke: i think Hubig has been identidy spoiled???
	♥ 12:53pm Magenta: ↳ Song: "Sea Cruise?" by "Won't You Let Us Take You On A" Not sure about you all but there's nothing I'd love more than to go on a cruise with the FMU crew. Pledge if you agree!
	♥ 12:54pm Magenta: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:49 Hey there nycmusicnerd!
	♥ 12:55pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:53 Nah, I lives on the other side of the SoDak. There's more than one of us FMU types 'round these parts.
	♥ 12:55pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Magenta @12:54 I was hoping to come in this weekend, but Scott said they didn't need anyone. Maybe next year.
	12:55pm clarke: i'd like to thank MS and JoeMcG!!! and the phonesters!! well done and rare!!
	♥ 12:55pm Magenta: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:55 Maybe! If time permits next year I will be back!
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:55 thass awful skeery!!
	12:56pm clarke: the calls are coming from INSIDE THE STATE!!!
	12:57pm clarke: btw, Prof Fuzz has checked in from the road - they are playing a duet show, tonight in tx.
	♥ 12:58pm listener phat in Lincoln: Where in TX?
	12:59pm clarke: FuZZ is a'lissnin' in the FuZZmobile, tho!! i think they are in bryan tonight.
	♥ 12:59pm nycmusicnerd: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

	11:45am clarke: ↳ Creature Boy @11:44 and i thought i trusted you, ha ha!!
	11:45am Bob: Is anyone watching Daisy Jones? I can’t decide how bad it is
	♥ 11:46am Hubig Pie: i like JR. Don't know about any recent movies, tho
	♥ 11:46am Creature Boy: Oscar Juggernaut is a good name
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:45 it's not that bad - it is just VERY cliche.
	♥ 11:46am love2laf: I was completely entranced with Everything Everywhere All At Once, but didn't think there would be anyone else who would enjoy it.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:45 i will have to say that the gear in the show (so far) is period correct.
	♥ 11:47am Frank In Queens: ↳ Bob @11:45 I'm watching reruns of The Heights instead.
	♥ 11:47am myron feld: I, too, liked Everything etc. Trippy fun. No "Mother Jugs & Speed" of course, but what is?
	♥ 11:47am Christina Ginger: ↳ Bob @11:45 I enjoy painful things like running marathons and listening to minimalist atonal classical, but I can’t force myself to be tortured that much by watching Daisy Jones.

	11:49am clarke: i'm like surely jamie lee will save it - NOPE!!
	♥ 11:49am myron feld: Anyone watch "Swarm," the new Donald Glover thing which started last night? We watched three episodes. It's OK, but I miss "Atlanta."
	11:49am Bob: You know DJ wouldn’t be so bad if it just told the story in a linear way. I hate the rockumentary interview cliche so much. Especially making 25 year old actors look twenty years older badly.
	♥ 11:50am Listener Baby: Baby Joe. I think about your (potential) Name Check Premium, often. I’m running a mental list of ideas if you ever need some suggestions. Having fun today. You two should be a permanent pairing every year. Carry on.

	11:51am Toothgrinder Tom: @clarke what didn’t you like about it? (I haven’t seen it.)
	♥ 11:51am jmd: ↳ Song: "Look Up" by "Harlem Gospel Travelers, The" This song is so #1 is got enough leftover #1 power to make another #1. Terrific.
	♥ 11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ jmd @11:51 Well said
	♥ 11:51am Joe McG: ↳ Listener Baby @11:50 Thanks for donating such a fab grand prize!
	♥ 11:51am Squints: ↳ jmd @11:51 I went and got the CD after hearing this. The entire record is just great, great stuff.
	11:51am Toothgrinder Tom: The only movies nominated at the Oscar’s that I did see were ‘Wakanda Forever’ and ‘All Quiet On The Western Front.’
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Bob @11:49 right! but, i figure i have to suspend some disbelief, as with that film ______ Heart - that merges carole king and brian wilson... have to look it up.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:53 Grace Of My Heart - i feel like the show and that film are very similar in the negative ways.
	♥ 11:54am Listener Baby: ↳ Joe McG @11:51 It’s my honor to do so.
	♥ 11:55am Frank Zaatar: ↳ clarke @11:46 I'd say somewhere Daisy Jones ranks halfway between Roadies and Emily in Paris for cringe.
	11:55am clarke: baby. BABY!!!!!
	♥ 11:55am Listener Baby: Clarke!
	♥ 11:55am drr: I liked EEAAO, but I do think it's ridiculous that any adult could pretend to care about a "multiverse." I thought they did put in a lot of other stuff I could care about. I also found it funny that the directors' previous opus was "Swiss Army Man", which looked like a concept Tim and Eric would consider and turn down.
	11:55am KWilde: That was a great interview with Jonathan Richman
	11:56am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:55 how/where are ya'll??
	♥ 11:56am drr: The Lesley Gore-based character in Grace Of My Heart is very funny.

	♥ 11:56am Listener Baby: Home
	11:56am clarke: ↳ drr @11:55 ohhhh, it's a comedy!! wow!
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: More & More is owned by Fewer & Fewer. As Michael Pollan says about food : It's still the Mom & Pop Farm on the label ...but it ain't no more. FMU perhaps is the opposite ? Presents as a Goof ...in fact it's the Last Real Thing - the beautiful little building left among towering brutalism monoliths in all directions.
	11:57am clarke: ↳ drr @11:56 i like Grace - but, had to just pretend i didn't know the real story.
	11:58am Bob: ↳ clarke @11:54 Yeah, that’s a good example. The Office sorta ruined the talking to the camera thing forever
	11:59am roc: I am also a latin teacher
	12:00pm clarke: the only movie i can think of where you know the real story and the film actually causes MORE suspense is Once Upon A Time In Hollywood - the more you know, the creepier the film!!
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:00 which is probably why most young people didn't get it.
	12:01pm clarke: here comes al, here comes joey....
	♥ 12:03pm dymphnite: I always forget what an amazingly natural guitarist he is. Just love this.
	♥ 12:03pm listener phat in Lincoln: Really hope I get to see Jonathan Richman again.
	12:04pm Bob: I just miss Jonathan’s old guitar sound so much
	12:06pm clarke: i think it's like the replacements thing where he is just seeing how far he can jack people around.
	♥ 12:06pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @11:53 I loved Grace of My Heart but it isn't very successful at what it aims to do -- it is really all over the place as a pastiche / roman-a-clef or whatever of the Carole King / Brill Building /60s pop-into-70s singer-songwriter epic story ... but kudos to Allison Anders for trying. Music and the stories around it are so central to her films.
	♥ 12:07pm Dano59: ... and I'm not gonna watch Daisy Joy or whatever it is cos the music and the sappy story seem to be blazingly hideous.
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:06 agree, but i still liked it!! like you say. the songs help!!
	♥ 12:07pm Frank In Queens: John Doe is one of my heroes.
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:07 i would like to hear your take on it. it is the same amount of aggravatingly cliche, but still endearing somehow.
	12:08pm Cooh John: I agree with you, clarke. Watched that movie last week.
	♥ 12:08pm myron feld: TWO great books, Joe! There's a volume 1 and 2.
	12:08pm DG: ↳ Frank Zaatar @11:55 I never finished "Roadies"----I think I watched 6-7 episodes & found it boring, not many interesting characters, etc. Given the subject (rock, touring, band/personal drama) I don't know why these series are so bad. Even worse was "Vinyl" (which I did sit thru all of), which apparently was more about violence, drugs & naked girls than anything music-related. Kept waiting for it to get better, but Scorsese & co. seemed more enamored by the bad behavior than the development of punk, disco, etc.
	12:08pm Mattynotimes: Great show guys!
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:07 quite the bass-player - which often gets overlooked!
	12:08pm Bob: The music in Daisy Jones is actually pretty good. I don’t know anything about who did it.
	♥ 12:09pm Creature Boy: I first heard Jonathan Sings which had stylistic problems and I didn't like the production much but there was something great about him. Egyptian Reggae IS great and was a British hit ,I believe. I DID see him with a band in the 80s which had ZERO production or stylistic issues. I wrote the Egyptian hit comment b4 Michael mentioned it I SWEAR. The Modern Lovers album is KING of course. A fantastic somewhat recent JoJo song is You Can Have A Cellphone That's Okay But Not Me!
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:08 it's okay. nowhere NEAR the anders film music, though.
	♥ 12:09pm myron feld: ↳ clarke @12:08 He certainly is. I love X very much, regardless of however nutty or disagreeable some of the members are.
	♥ 12:09pm drr: Y' know, I've seen three movies recently that I liked, thought they were fine, and then found out they all won Best Picture. Nomadland, Spotlight, Tom Jones. Spotlight especially was like All the President's Men Lite, nice Sunday night calmdown, but ...that was the Best Picture?
	12:10pm Bob: I saw X last summer and they were great. Saw Doe solo too. He is pretty much the coolest MFer in the world after Nick Lowe. He looks great at his age or any age.
	12:10pm clarke: oh, we're doin' MovieTime now? i guess so?? frank??
	12:11pm clarke: don't know about Nomadland?
	12:11pm Bob: I saw Tar. I liked it even though I’m not entirely sure why.
	♥ 12:14pm Hubig Pie: Nomadland - shot on location here in beautiful East-northern West Dakota.
	12:14pm Mattynotimes: The Oscars are just a political money show….they don’t truly dictate what’s good and what’s bad. Not to say there aren’t good films that get nominated but trying to find “bests” within anything pertaining to the arts has always been a fools game to me
	12:14pm clarke: my list is ALL free on the utube: - Edge Of Eternity (1955) - House Of Bamboo (1955) - The Beginning Of The End (1957)
	12:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Modern Lovers 1st album recorded 1971-3, not out til mid1976. Early Punk often delayed even blocked like that... Partly Produced by JohnCale - as were debuts of Stooges & PattiSmith. You know these things. Does it get enuff ProtoPunk Credit ?
	♥ 12:15pm Squints: ↳ clarke @12:14 Is that last one the one with the grasshoppahs?
	♥ 12:15pm listener phat in Lincoln: One of the best double bills I ever saw was Lucinda Williams and John Doe. Goddamn, that was great.
	♥ 12:15pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:08 I just feel like I've seen/heard this story many times before (A Star is Born, anyone?) while Grace of my Heart was quite original, and compelling, blending invention with a series of real-life events. Fun fact: The scene of John Doe idly playing the 'Bonanza' theme in 'Border Radio' is NOT on the Criterion DVD; Luanna Anders told me whoever owned it wanted WAY too much money.
	12:16pm clarke: i also saw the new Luther film - which is more outlandish than it ever needed to be!!
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Squints @12:15 and the ulp beeetles!!
	♥ 12:16pm Ciggy: Looking at Vigo Mortensen's bio I was surprised to see that he was married to Exene Cerverka
	12:17pm Mattynotimes: Modern Lovers are definitely a huge influence in punk rock movement
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Dano59 @12:15 that's like the best scene in that movie!!!
	12:17pm egould: Speaking of John Doe /X and St Patrick’s Day and riots…. https://twitter.com/punkrockstory/status/1636948124806656000?s=46&t=DYhZk84ZT4VY8OfSy1Q__Q
	♥ 12:17pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Sweetheart" by "Jon Doe" lovely tune!
	♥ 12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dano59 @12:15 Oh damn. I keep meaning to get Allison Anders here to our local art house.
	12:18pm clarke: @Dano - you sent me down a (nice) rabbithole with that cassette archive! thnx!!
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Award Shows of all kinds reinforce the worst High School popularity contest qualities of any Form. With just enuff of a boost to deserving lesser knowns to buy small cred. Like Oligarchs tossing dimes to good causes. PR. ...Some like the get together party for the Industry thing ...ok for them. Nothing for me...
	♥ 12:19pm Dano59: ↳ clarke @12:17 tell me about it! I have it on VHS too otherwise I might have forgotten it from late-'80s cable viewing
	♥ 12:19pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:18 I need to check that out still
	♥ 12:19pm Joe McG: John Doe, a heckuva guy and a unique singer. Get in the running!
	♥ 12:19pm drr: This week, besides a couple Oscar winners, I saw the doc "We Like It Like That" (mostly too surface but worth it just to see Joe Bataan explain how he taught himself piano), and "Funny Pages" which has lots of WFMU content. I loved the first half but it left all those interesting stories unfinished and forgotten. Could have been great. It was more like a Daniel Clowes comic than Ghost World was.
	12:19pm Bob: I saw Doe do a great audience interview and solo thing a few years ago in Ypsilanti. I made sure to ask him about his epic work in Roadhouse! He drank wine the entire time and went with a bunch of folks to the Tap Room across the street afterwards for beers and a drag show, which he loved. Great guy.
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:18 agree, but the oscars used to have SOME kind of legitimacy!! no more!
	♥ 12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: I'm all pledged out, sadly. I have a couple clients who need to get me a check
	♥ 12:21pm Dano59: ↳ Bob @12:19 John and Exene came to do a staged interview in 2014 for a punk exhibit opening weekend at Cornell; he also did a club show and she came up for. at least one song. I missed the X reunion tour, alas...
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:20 i, too, have given all i can at this point this year. but, i can testify, still!!
	12:21pm SWK: Like this trust song!
	12:22pm Mattynotimes: I just watched the whale and thought it was eh
	♥ 12:23pm Dano59: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:17 Do it! I would travel to any Anders retrospective. (I'm one of the few who's. seen 'Strutter', at the Bearsville Theatre.
	12:23pm clarke: jordan!! sewed my hoodie!!
	12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:19 Well Hollywood of course is in the Glamour Business. But doesn't that mean they should be able to put on a Show ?? Again - what it is - the Bean Counters have made Culture all Top Down. The Artists & Writers are considered a nuisance. It's not for us. Yes - Show has always been Business - but they're only Showing us Business anymore. & they're clueless why the People care less all the time.
	12:24pm clarke: ooopa jordon!!
	♥ 12:24pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dano59 @12:23 I have a friend in common with her and I think she'd be down. Just have to sell it to the Exec. Director of the theater
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:23 but, it is like the voters are picking the most aggravating nominee just to make a point!!
	12:26pm Mattynotimes: I think Hollywood has become a money over glamour. That’s why less quality films get made now because there’s more money in turning out streaming crap then in films. Going to movies is astronomical.
	♥ 12:27pm Gordon Slumbers: Thanks, pledgers. Let's keep it going for Michael S.
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Mattynotimes @12:26 it was always money over glamour, really.
	12:29pm Mattynotimes: Totally
	12:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:25 The Oscars' obviously felt the pressure towards Diversity. @ least they acknowledged that. But it seems gestural & totally transparent to me. As for the Voters in the broader sense - I think in the USA people tend to Vote the Opposite of the Last Guy - & that's about the depth & extent of the memory or considerations in that Game of Power in our Society.
	♥ 12:29pm bnowb: Jonathan Richmond just played in my hometown Montclair... how did I miss this. He is a genius.
	12:29pm Mattynotimes: I mean swing politics are a real psychological thing
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:29 could be - but, there sit classic Films like 1917 and Fabelmans with no win. not good for posterity.
	12:30pm Mattynotimes: I thought Fablemans was terrible
	12:31pm clarke: i did not, obviously.
	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @12:30 Think of all the definitive Musicians who've never come close to the Grammies. This is my point about Award Shows.
	12:32pm Mattynotimes: Hahaha obviously. I wanted to like it so bad….like soooo bad. Some people just like yo hate Spielberg and I am not one of those people. But it just fell short for me in every way. I’m glad you got what you wanted out of it.
	12:32pm clarke: yes, but i never paid one bit of attention to the grammies (well only if the stones were on it)
	12:33pm morphe': Thanks M & JmcG & Vols & all !!!! must do a food run ....
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Or R&RHoF. They're all garbage. Turn On Tune In to FMU Drop Out.
	♥ 12:34pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Song: "Ultimatum" by "Televisionaires" Ah yes, this song (and album) is a favorite in our house.
	♥ 12:34pm Dave from SLC (formerly the ROC): Thanks for representing Rochester, still my hometown despite being 2000 miles away. Another suggested Rochester artist: McFadden's Parachute.
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:33 again, never cared for that shit. the oscars actually MEANT something once!
	♥ 12:35pm drr: Grammys to Oscars is truly an apples-to-oranges comparison.
	12:36pm Trevor lake: Thanks, Mike!
	12:36pm Mattynotimes: Yea we all know that the Kids Choice awards is where all real connoisseurs of culture go!
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @12:35 It's a Movies to Music comparison. Otherwise the same syndromes seems to me.

	♥ 12:39pm drr: I think there's always been "Oscar bait", but it's gotten ridiculous when a flat0out bad movie like Paul Haggis' Crash wins because the message is so "important".
	12:40pm Mattynotimes: What was the message of that movie again? Celebrities run into each other in Hollywood all the time and get tied up in each others lives?

	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dano59 @12:45 Entertainment value is legit. Agreed. Yerknow - Golden Age of Hollywood correlated to the Depression. It meant something to people. Like Music in the 1960s when all the developments of the Form happened. ...What is anything for anymore ??...
