@geezerette: Welcome, you silver-tongued devil, you!

5:12pm geezerette:

Happily drifting Gaylord...:D

♥ 5:13pm Uncle Michael:

How's it where you all are? We're in our first tornado watch of the season.

♥ 5:13pm Uncle Michael:

Gene Clark; Leavenworth, Kansas' own.

♥ 5:15pm Gaylord Fields:

@Uncle Michael: Sunny and in the mid-50s today.

5:16pm Marc Francis:

Happy Sunday Gaylord and all y'alls!!

♥ 5:16pm Uncle Michael:

80 here...been inside since eleven. Had to mow before a noon ballgame on the tube.

5:16pm BadGuyZero:

I apologize for my tardiness. I was listening to the Rangers lose to the White Sox.

♥ 5:17pm Gaylord Fields:

Hiya, @Marc Francis!

♥ 5:18pm Gaylord Fields:

I left home with the Mets up 3-1 on Teh Barves in the 8th.

♥ 5:18pm Uncle Michael:

Ugh..another win? The White Sox really aren't this good.

♥ 5:19pm Gaylord Fields:

Cubs/Chisox WS?

♥ 5:21pm Uncle Michael:

Cubbies dished out another ass-whipping. 9-0 over the Reds. Of course, they got clobbered last night. But that's cool, following their five losses, they've outscored their opponents 40-4.

Best/worst case scenario, Gaylord!

5:21pm dale:

evening kids. like this carl rusk - now i have home work to do.

♥ 5:21pm Uncle Michael:

I adore this America track.

Play all the songs that mention purple rain and predate Prince!

♥ 5:22pm Gaylord Fields:

@Uncle Michael: Yes, that was a slant tribute to a fallen great.

5:23pm Chief:

Alligator lizards in the air. This song gives lots of pleasure.

5:23pm geezerette:

alligator lizards! in the air!

5:25pm P-90:

There's that "hit by purple rain" lyric! Hi Gaylord and Friends!

♥ 5:25pm Gaylord Fields:

@geezerette: Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's an ALLIGATOR LIZARD!!!

♥ 5:26pm Gaylord Fields:

@P-90: [touches index fingertip to nose]

5:30pm BadGuyZero:

I'm still waiting for someone to play "Purple People Eater" in tribute to Prince.

♥ 5:31pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Hi, Gaylord and kind folks. In addition to the Easter Uprising in Ireland, today is also 100 years since the start of the voyage of the James Caird. www.amnh.org...

♥ 5:31pm Gaylord Fields:

@BadGuyZero: Now THAT'S funny!

5:31pm geezerette:

@Gaylord:belated EEEEEEEEK!!!

♥ 5:32pm Gaylord Fields:

@Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the anniversary update!

♥ 5:33pm Uncle Michael:

In honor of Purple People Eater, geezerette just gave us a Wilhelm Scream.

♥ 5:35pm Gaylord Fields:

@Uncle Michael: Full circle! And Sheb Wooley lives on!

5:35pm famous original sugarwolf:

Hi everyone! What is this sportsy talk?!?

♥ 5:35pm Uncle Michael:

I knew you'd get the reference, Gaylord.

5:37pm geezerette:

HaHa! Uncle Michael,I'm so proud!

♥ 5:38pm Gaylord Fields:

@famous original sugarwolf: Along with a rose garden, I never promised you sports-free chat -- only NFL-free comments during football season.

5:38pm Mr C:

Hollywood turns its lonely ears to Gaylord Fields..

5:39pm geezerette:

...but if it only eats purple people,we are safe.

5:40pm famous original sugarwolf:

@gaylord: I approve of all chat, sports or non-sports related!!

♥ 5:42pm Gaylord Fields:

@Mr C: Tunes for Tinsel Town!

♥ 5:43pm Gaylord Fields:

@geezerette: But why did it have to get Prince? The Grimace would have made a more sumptuous meal!

♥ 5:45pm Uncle Michael:

Who among us has not suffered from porphyria?

5:45pm famous original sugarwolf:

@gaylord: Grimace has too much beef tallow

♥ 5:46pm Gaylord Fields:

@Uncle Michael: I haven't, but I did have a terrible bout of sussudio once.

♥ 5:46pm Uncle Michael:

"And even though somebody else is born to the purple, he can still be a very nice guy."

♥ 5:47pm Uncle Michael:

Paging Dr. Collins...

♥ 5:47pm Gaylord Fields:

@sugarwolf: Are you saying the Purple People Eater may be of the Hindu faith?

5:47pm dale:

superstar - BOOOM!

5:47pm geezerette:

@Gaylord: He wasn't actually purple...unless! King George's disease,Uncle Michael's theory.

♥ 5:48pm melinda:

Aaahhh...Carpenters.

♥ 5:48pm Uncle Michael:

Groupie.

5:49pm dale:

i had no idea who wrote this - blown away.

♥ 5:49pm Uncle Michael:

Might be the rare case where Karen's version of something is not my very favorite.

Leon Russel wrote it.

♥ 5:50pm Uncle Michael:

With Bonnie Bramlett.

♥ 5:50pm melinda:

What a great song.

5:50pm famous original sugarwolf:

@gaylord: maybe he's just trying to eat more healthily...

5:51pm BadGuyZero:

I scored a copy of the "Superstar" 7-inch in Chicago a few years ago.

♥ 5:51pm Uncle Michael:

I think Rita Coolidge recorded the definitive version...but they're actually *all* very good.

5:51pm Sem Chumbo:

Someone once said James Taylor had a voice that was the vocal equivalent of being photogenic; Karen Carpenter had that voice, too, I think.

5:52pm BadGuyZero:

I don't think I've ever heard Rita's version. I'm adding that to my list of things to find on the interwebs.

5:52pm famous original sugarwolf:

One nice thing about the internet is that Todd Haynes' Superstar has been easier to find and watch.

♥ 5:52pm Uncle Michael:

I literally heard Rumer for the first time just yesterday. This woman is the real deal.

♥ 5:53pm melinda:

I'll have to look up the Rita Coolidge version. Great segue from Karen Carpenter to Rumer.

♥ 5:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...& who's the guy hasta mention Sonic Youth's version of 'Superstar'?
...If I said 'Superstar' w/ Karen C has more depth than anything P.R. Nelson did - I would be in trouble, wouldn't I...

♥ 5:54pm Gaylord Fields:

@famous original sugarwolf: I have a second-gen copy I got from Christine Vachon's cousin -- on VHS!

♥ 5:54pm melinda:

@sugarwolf: where is Superstar available?

♥ 5:55pm melinda:

@Gaylord: go ahead, rub it in. That's awesome.

♥ 5:55pm Gaylord Fields:

@melinda: Legally, almost nowhere, but otherwise, a simple search can turn it up.

5:56pm Monica:

gorgeous segue, gaylord. you turned me onto rumer. btw, i read last night that the 12 songs writer/producer/sample credits for beyonce's new lemonade album are 3,105 words long. no judgement but it's a stark contrast to his purpleness and, well, just about anyone from an earlier era.

♥ 5:57pm Gaylord Fields:

@Monica: As far as learning, that's one for me, and dozens for you.

And good point on the Beyonce vs. Prince.

5:57pm famous original sugarwolf:

@melinda: I think I saw it on youtube

♥ 5:58pm Gaylord Fields:

@Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You might, rabbit, you might...

♥ 6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I think of Dave Chappelle saying he hung w/ Prince - & - he cooked a better breakfast, the little guy kicked his butt @ basketball...As far as being capable goes - Prince was one of Those: a person who had something unique beyond what we usually mean even by 'talent' or 'genius'...

6:03pm Jonathan:

You didn't mention "Ventura Highway" which you played for a reason.

♥ 6:04pm melinda:

thanks Gaylord & sugarwolf. I'll look for it.

♥ 6:05pm Gaylord Fields:

@Jonathan: I did -- and even referenced "purple rain"!

6:06pm dale:

i hate to admit it, but i liked morris day and the time better in 'purple rain'

6:10pm geezerette:

Emerald and purple go together well.

♥ 6:10pm melinda:

Beautiful Emerald Web.

6:13pm Jonathan:

Maybe that was when my signal dropped out. I'll give a listen to the archived version.

♥ 6:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...there's GuitarPop, PowerPop
- & SmartPop. I tried to Googles that & only got popcorn...
@GF (Somewhat randomly): Are you a fan of Neil Finn's 'Try Whistling This' album?

♥ 6:44pm Gaylord Fields:

@Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Don't really know that Neil Finn record -- just know of it.

Also: Try googling [po + "ruth miller"] for more meaningful results.

6:51pm Ozu Foods JC:

We like

6:53pm geezerette:

Lovely swinging groove.

♥ 6:56pm Gaylord Fields:

@Ozu Foods JC: Glad you're enjoying it!

♥ 6:57pm Gaylord Fields:

@geezerette: It's nice to end with grooviness sometimes.

6:57pm Monica:

and voila! another great show, g.
