Listener comments!
	9:01am Strandlund: Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Boing Boing!
	👻 9:01am Marley P. Dogg: Yip yip to the highest degree of yip
	👻 9:02am YETI BOB: Radio!
	9:02am David (in London): Hello Yippers. Greetings Joe.
	9:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...OoooohhhAhhhOooooh !
	9:02am Krys O.: Greetings!
	9:02am kev: hi Joe
	9:02am deborah: Radio Radio!
	9:03am Krys O.: Hey there, David (in London), long time no see.
	9:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Bring on the noise! Boing boing!
	👻 9:04am pantz: Wow! Blast from the past.
	9:04am David (in London): Hi Krys. Was out of town for a while, with a Wi-Fi signal that really couldn't handle any streaming. But I'm back now and twice as yippy. How's yourself?
	9:05am Pale Son: Aha! Was expecting to hear this one last week.
	9:05am TDK60: Good day.
	9:05am Yes: hello friends
	9:05am TimBk: Morning Joe, I think Making Movies outside of the horrible Les Boys is a perfect album. I wore this one out back in the day.
	9:06am Roberto: This whole album shreds.
	9:06am Jennica: Good morn' everyone. Peace to all.
	9:07am Colleen: Looking forward to the show Joe!!
	9:08am pp: Dire Straits only reminds me of disappearing free-form radio stations of the 1970's who would then play this kind of stuff to death. imho
	9:08am Jennica: The interlude sounds like Peter Blegvad.
	9:08am David (in London): Hey TDK, Jennica, Colleen.
	9:09am Tim 07030: Good morning, Joe! If this is 'Tunnel of Love', please tell me I'm in a dorm room in Providence in the early 80s...
	9:10am Joe McG: Hey everybody! Picking up where we left off last week and then moving on! @TimBk: Agree, "Les Boys" is such homophobic shit that I have to shut the album off before it gets there. Up to there, wonderbar!
	9:11am Jennica: Big air hugs from me to you, David (iL)!
	9:12am Roberto: Les Boys is homophobic? I guess I need to give it another listen (then maybe never another one after that).
	9:12am melinda: Hi friends
	9:13am ratso: Hi Joe, others.
	9:13am TDK60: Hello David of Londonton.
	9:13am Krys O.: @David (in London): Keeping on. Thanks for asking.
	👻 9:14am nortonjutland: Morning Joe. off to a great start!
	9:15am LastWhiteRhino: Joe............................Hello.
	9:16am foreign_listener_k: Les Boys is pretty bad, and the typical British anti-German slant might be a bit harder to pick up on
	9:16am Krys O.: Here's an interesting interview with Knopfler: members.tripod.com...
	👻 9:17am Handy Haversack: Good morning, Joe and all! Glad we're back at the bemusement park!
	9:18am Bill W: Knopfler gets a lifetime pass from me for the LOCAL HERO score.
	9:19am Joe McG: @Krys/Robero: Ah, I see, he was writing from the point of view of a character. I wasn't giving him enough credit. I let Randy Newman get away with that all the time and I forget that Knopfler does it, too ("Money for Nothing").
	👻 9:19am YETI BOB: People listen to Dire Straits voluntarily?
	9:21am Joe McG: @Yeti: Ha ha ha!
	9:21am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Joe McGasko!! Hello gang!!
	9:21am Rick A.: Joe, you are falling into my 90s with the Belle and Sebastian and S.F. Seals. I still listen to Truth Walks in Sleepy Shadows. Manning's voice is very sweet. The Greasy Kid's Stuff crew used to play "Kids' Pirate Ship" quite often. Kathy McCarty would go well among these songs.
	9:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Jesus, Joe—are you also reading my old college journals??
	9:22am Roberto: "Robero?" Heh, I might just use that.
	9:23am mlsgrrl: Bill Bragg writes the most romantic songs of anyone living.
	9:23am Joe McG: Whoops, sorry Roberto! Monday morning fingers. Hey Greg, yes I found them very interesting! ;)
	9:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 Bragg
	9:24am David (in London): foreign_listener_k - It's not 'typically British', that's a lazy generalisation. Some parts of the population indeed, but plenty more no not at all. Many German POWs elected to stay in the UK after the War, for example, because the hostility was so quickly forgotten, from Man City goalkeeper Bert Trautmann to the Schramm family in the village where I grew up.
	👻 9:25am Threemoons: Gooooood morning Joe McG, fellow YipYips
	9:26am Marc Francis: @Joe McG: I always thought Les Boys was written in a way like Lou Reeds Walk On The Wild Side (although not nearly as good).
	👻 9:26am YETI BOB: @D(iL): Aren't the Windsors basically imported German royalty?
	9:27am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning! Hey DiL, hey Handy!
	9:28am Tim 07030: Ha, hearing this Harry Roesli from a couple of rooms away I initially thought it was the Style Council!
	9:28am Joe McG: @Marc F: You are probably right! It always bugged me, but Krys O.'s link makes me think I need to give it a fairer shake. I don't really like it musically, though, anyway! It's a dud at the end of the LP.
	9:28am ?: this harry track is great
	9:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Would tend to write off Straits as 80s MOR (Middle of the Road) - but as a thin-haired no pick using Stratocaster diddler myself - it is humbling to hear Knopfler's command of all those tones on that track.
	9:30am Webhamster Henry: Excellent accent, Sophia!
	9:30am Joe McG: If you understand French, cover your ears for the next track or you may blush.
	9:32am David (in London): Yeti Bob - You mean The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha? See Blackadder IV for a good comic take on that. Hey Phillippe!
	9:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there's worse Chart Hits than Straits - more backhanded a compliment than some songs deserve even... On subject of clean Gittar tones - HBD Virgo John Cippolina.
	9:32am WoodsOfNH: Daaaaaaaannnnng!
	9:32am LastWhiteRhino: Oooooo La La !
	👻 9:32am pantz: Mon Dieu!
	9:33am Sonderangebot: LOL Joe, this is a pretty raunchy song, you're getting away with it because it's in French!
	9:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Blackadder Blackadder! You nasty little man!
	9:33am Tim 07030: Is 'Tonight's The Night' next?
	9:33am David (in London): I'm blushing at such Gallic sauciness.
	9:33am Joe McG: @Sonderangebot: I know! :) Thanks for the shout-out on your last show, btw! The mold!
	9:34am Martin From Montreal: Wow, this song is so... Hum... NSFW
	9:34am dougseidel: this french voice breath so close to my ear
	👻 9:35am pantz: Is that a baguette in your pants or are you just glad to see me, Joe?
	9:35am Joe McG: Sorry about that, Martin! :)
	9:36am Joe McG: @pantz: Ha!
	9:36am Sonderangebot: @Joe my pleasure... omg the mold... it was a disaster! @Martin this song is... funny for us (MTL represent!)
	9:37am Martin From Montreal: It's OK, Joe, thank for this discovery, I didn't knew this song... That part when she said that when she was young she was sucking her thumb but new she want to suck his thumb, ouch...
	9:38am oshiwoshi: ohh better lay another log on the fire
	👻 9:38am Handy Haversack: Don't worry, David milord. I have a cunning plan. Hey, Phillippe!
	9:38am ratso: Keep the Home Fries burnin'
	👻 9:39am Handy Haversack: The English version of Nanette's song is on Michele's One-L Premium for this year!
	👻 9:39am pantz: I love these metaphors!
	9:39am Martin From Montreal: Still working from home, no risk of colleagues entering my office while this track was playing...
	9:39am Yes: :)
	9:40am Krys O.: Oh, Millie <3
	9:40am Colleen: Oh this is so funny!
	9:40am David (in London): Hey Handy. How was your trip?
	9:41am melinda: @Bill W Local Hero is such a good movie.
	9:41am sinner: My Momma didn't allow listening to Millie Jackson in our house.
	9:41am Colleen: YEAH!!
	👻 9:42am Handy Haversack: Still tripping, David! I was just making sandwiches to take with us on today's hiking/swim hole odyssey. Dinner with Mr. Pumpy's mother tonight!
	👻 9:42am pantz: Mickey Fickey is my new goto swear word.
	9:43am David (in London): Handy, super cool! Sounds like you're really putting your back into relaxing. Good man.
	9:44am kev: I don't think I've heard this since it was "the big matress" song of the week
	9:44am Pale Son: This song should be called Tortured Metaphor.
	9:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Millie ain't no Vanillie maybe...
	9:44am Bloom: this song just never stops
	9:45am PaulRobeson1920: “We must rapidly transition from a thing oriented society to a people oriented society”
	👻 9:45am Handy Haversack: You gotta love what you do, David!
	9:45am Terr in DE: Millie ! Get down and Par tay.
	9:45am Phin The Hyooman: @Pale Son, bwahaha! Was just thinking the same thing.
	9:45am PaulRobeson1920: Howdy Yall! Never herd this song before
	9:45am nematomorpha: Still have Nanette in my head.
	9:46am PaulRobeson1920: Gotta LOvE WFMU
	9:52am Sylvia (France-NYC): in France we don't really get why we have this sultry reputation abroad, and then there's the art
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: nema I wish she still had me in hers ...well?!...
	9:53am B R M: Funkiest Prince song. Most underrated album. Love this.
	9:53am Joe McG: I hear the food's good, too, Sylvia! ;)
	9:53am Colleen: NICE ONE!!!
	9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Prince the Producer interested me the most.
	9:54am Sylvia (France-NYC): @Joe well, food and other pleasures are related in some ways, so...
	9:57am David (in London): Hey Sylvia. Have you got your copy of Carol's Premium CD yet? She sent me mine last week. It sounds great, doesn't it?
	9:58am Roberto: Purple Rain hit the radio just as I was starting college. I can attest that it was played and played and played on top 40 radio all that semester. (And played some more.)
	10:00am Sylvia (France-NYC): @David in London I did, in NYC! I got Michael to send me the tracks in digital form since I'm in France, but we haven't taken the time to listen to it yet (we're at the mastering stage of our next album, between that and radio listening, there's not enough hours in a day) I'm looking forward to it though
	10:04am miniteeny: I’m digging Dire Straights this summer. Thanks for that one
	10:05am David (in London): Sylvia, I really like it. I'm biased, obviously, but it all sounds great.
	10:05am suzyhotrod: The Ridiculous Trio kicked off my show a few weeks ago. LOVE IT!
	👻 10:06am Marley P. Dogg: Joe McG - still waiting for a block of The Hooters ala WMMR in 1985
	10:07am Sylvia (France-NYC): @David :)
	10:07am Joe McG: Nice, Suzy! :) @Marley: You may be waiting a while!
	10:07am David (in London): Seems only right. At The Stooges' first gig, they WERE a ridiculous trio. Iggy playing a vacuum cleaner and dancing in his golf shoes whilst Scott beat the Hell out of an oil drum.
	👻 10:08am Marley P. Dogg: Haha - guess it’s a good thing I have it my my collection
	10:10am joe mulligan: @Marley - ha! I heard way too much Hooters and Tommy Conwell on WMMR back in the 80s. For some reason I'm ok with the Robert Hazard though
	10:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Originally the Psychedelic Stooges yup.
	10:11am peonie: aaackkghhkkk
	10:12am Jason from Houston: Oh no... I missed the Millie J/Bobby Patterson/Prince combo. Here now for the duration.
	10:13am Joe McG: @joem: Tommy Conwell! Forgot about him! I agree that out of the bunch, Robert Hazard remains my favorite.
	10:13am Joe McG: Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers!
	10:13am joe mulligan: I was so tired of Tommy Conwell that when I saw him in a bar before his show I sang "I'm not your man" to him off key while he was getting a drink. one my jerk moments.
	10:14am WM: Thanks for the Albert Ayler even though New Grass is not my favorite recording of his. The best track of his later work is Drudgery from Music is the Healing Force of the Universe.
	10:15am Joe McG: @WM: I know it's a controversial album. Most hardcore fans don't dig it. One of his best album covers, though! :)
	10:19am Hope Chernov: i still have an autographed photo of Robert Hazard from when he played at my high school. Not bragging.
	10:19am Joe McG: @Hope: Did you hang it in your locker?
	👻 10:21am pantz: Jonnie and Eddie are covering the classics. I think I even heard some Chick Corea in there.
	10:22am Meesalikeu: thx for albert ayler — yes cleveland is in the house on wfmu this morning.
	10:24am Hope Chernov: Joe - under my glossy photo of Justin Hayward, yes.
	10:24am Meesalikeu: oh i recognize this music — sober on mardi gras — good stuff lol.
	10:24am WoodsOfNH: I like this Mike Dillon...sort of reminds me of a straitened up Tom Waits.
	10:25am Joe McG: @Hope: Ha ha!
	10:26am Meesalikeu: classique third man theme sets a certain mood for sure
	👻 10:26am pantz: Ah, what a great movie. I can see Orson wander off into the crowd.
	10:26am Stashuuuu: This is so cute
	10:27am Hubig Pie: Alida Valli walks stone cold thru the graveyard
	10:28am David (in London): Trevor Howard looking all gimlet-eyed.
	👻 10:28am Handy Haversack: We're getting ready for the hike. Hey, Joe, if you see this, could you wish Kate a happy bday for tomorrow?
	10:28am LastWhiteRhino: Happy Birthday to the Del Rubios
	10:29am yerfriendpaul: @Handy - Happy Birthday Kate!
	👻 10:29am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Paul! I will pass along!
	10:29am Colleen: From Pee Wees Christmas special!!!
	10:29am Colleen: Hey Handy!!
	10:30am LastWhiteRhino: The Del Rubios did "These Boots were Made for Walking" on Pee Wee's show.
	10:30am David (in London): Handy, ah, happy birthday to Kate!
	10:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joyeux Virgoan Solar Return Kate !
	10:31am John in Phoenixville: Del Rubios were also on The Golden Girls!
	10:31am WoodsOfNH: Uh oh...here comes the Taylor Swift!!
	10:32am Joe McG: @Woods: Have you or anyone here heard the new Taylor Swift album? I'm so curious and yet I haven't listened to it.
	10:33am 12539: Damn, my plaid high water pants are in the wash today!
	10:33am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG I listened to it once but it was late at night and I kind of konked out...(not the music's fault). Gonna give it another try soon.
	10:35am John in Phoenixville: One of my very first 45s was Bay City Rollers. Saturday Night.
	10:35am Joe McG: Sorry, Handy, just saw your note above. I'll get Kate on the next mic break.
	10:36am diana: good morning. bcr- fashion plates!
	10:36am Joe McG: @John: Nice way to begin!
	10:36am David (in London): Ah the great Roy Wood. He was probably having a rather lean time of it in 1982 though.
	👻 10:38am pantz: Shades of Ringo's solo stuff there.
	10:38am egould310: For a song that was ostensibly about the “ rock n roll” lifestyle... well let’s just say that didn’t rock.
	👻 10:39am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe! We're still filling water bottles and packing for the hike, so we're listening and full of glee to be doing so!
	10:39am Joe McG: @diana: I never went as a Roller for Halloween. A great regret.
	10:39am John in Phoenixville: Indeed it was, @Joe McG!
	10:40am David (in London): Joe, there's still time. I can lend you a tartan scarf.
	10:40am Nacho: The Penthouse was on the first floor of of a 5 story building in the oldest part of town. Lots of live albums were recorded there in the 60's. The building is still there but the "Penthouse" is long gone.
	10:40am Sylvia (France-NYC): @Joe I haven't listened to folklore yet but I will. I'm curious about it, too, and she's obviously a good songwriter. Some djs have played tracks here already.
	10:40am Dennis Diken: go Joe!
	10:41am Joe McG: Thanks, David! Great COVID protection, too. @Nacho: Thanks for the info! @Sylvia: I haven't heard them yet! @Dennis: Hi, Dennis!
	10:41am zivilars: fantastic sets today (as always) - thanks, Joe!
	10:41am WoodsOfNH: What I do remember about Folklore is that I really liked the opening track, with Bon Iver.
	10:41am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:42am Rick A.: I was at a Scottish New Year's Eve party in Los Angeles in 2015. The proud hosts had a live feed from Glasgow that featured the Bay City Rollers playing live. It was four in the afternoon in Los Angeles. I had no idea that the Bay City Rollers were Scottish and that they were still playing together in 2015.
	10:43am Carmichael: Heya Joe. Covered in smoke this morning, sun is deep orange. In the future, please don't play the good stuff until 7:30. :)
	10:43am Jeffrey Davison: Monday Morning Master McGasko...
	10:43am Joe McG: Glad you're enjoying, zivilars! @RickA: I didn't know they were, either! I wonder how many original members?
	10:43am Jason from Houston: I (Don't) Wanna Be Rich
	10:44am Joe McG: @JD: Saturday Morning Genius Jeffrey Davison!
	10:46am Martinibomb: Good morning joe!
	10:48am TDK60: Hang in there, Carmichael. A mask has two reasons there, eh?
	10:48am Joe McG: Hey Martinibomb, good morning! Many stars in the house today.
	👻 10:50am Handy Haversack: Colleen (10:29): hi! We slept right through WAB today -- and likely will again tomorrow!
	👻 10:50am pantz: "Couples only skate!"
	👻 10:50am Handy Haversack: Oof, Carm, sorry to hear it.
	10:50am Mike Sin: Only one original dude in the Rollers these days.... It's amazing how so much of their mid LPs are filled with original material by the band. After the success, they were given a lot of songwriting control. The covers of the Raspberries and Bowie on the later LPs are pretty interesting.
	10:50am Jason from Houston: Indeed.
	10:51am Jason from Houston: Taking my skates off and calling mom now.
	10:51am Brian C.: Songs from this era of Bee Gees still grate on me. I thought I'd moved on from "disco sucks"
	10:51am Carmichael: Could be much worse, Handy. Containment happens. Eventually ...
	10:52am WoodsOfNH: I used to really not like The Bee Gees but now I hear them and it makes me remember when I was 17 and my only problem was what time I was picking up my girlfriend to go out...
	10:52am Andrew_in_WI: "Too Much Heaven " that's a sentiment I would never think of in 2020
	10:53am John in Phoenixville: This Bee Gees is another one of my childhood records, Joe. You’re taking me back.
	10:56am Krys O.: A very FMU segue there, Joe. Kudos.
	10:57am Michele with One "L": I love this song so much
	10:57am Andrew_in_WI: Rolnick?
	10:57am Marc Francis: Dang. That Magazine song was ACE.
	10:57am lukavino: WAKE UP
	10:58am Martinibomb: I used to have to sing this in choir class in Jr. High lol - pretty good song luckily
	10:58am Ed Casey: Magazine is an inspired choice for Monday AM. Howard Devoto rocks!
	10:59am PaulRobeson1920: Dream dream dream
	10:59am steveo: Loved that Neil Rolnick remix!
	11:01am Dean: You should experiment with a bunch of 45s all at once.
	11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Foreverleys. I like film of them with Buddy Holly's Crickets & how you can so see The Beatles from there.
	11:03am Stanley: (emerges from spreadsheets) Hi Joe. Yikes! I see the Bay City Rollers on the playlist. Glad I missed that.
	👻 11:04am Handy Haversack: Ah, Joe, that made tremendous smiles happen! OK, friends, be well. We're off to Vroman's Nose. Breathe carefully, Californians! Bye, Joe!
	11:04am Michele with One "L": wfmu.org...
	11:05am Brian in New Orleans: beautiful day here .no storm nice breeze
	11:05am Michele with One "L": We've collected a bunch of organizations if anyone wants to check out the PSA page - wfmu.org...
	11:06am iiibeat: Say . . Where is my swag?!?
	11:06am LastWhiteRhino: Hey Stanley, good to see you on the comment board. I haven't seen you post in a while. I was beginning to worry.
	11:06am iiibeat: I want my swag goddammit!!!
	11:08am iiibeat: Ah. Okay.
	11:08am Jason from Houston: Ahhh! I got my swag on Friday. Thank you, good folks.
	11:09am iiibeat: I'll check me mailbox tonight!
	11:09am WoodsOfNH: Did the swag go via USPS or some other service?
	11:09am Joe McG: We send everything USPS.
	11:09am Jason from Houston: The Double-Dip Recess shirt is the best...
	11:10am lukavino: i got my swag saturday and am currently sporting my JA JAZZ T.
	11:10am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG Good to know. We relocated to Maine, supposedly or the summer...but it's turning out to be more permanent so we have the mail forwarding delay thing.
	11:11am iiibeat: Big ol sticker on the vehicle in front of me said "Beacon" when you said "shine a light on it . . " lol
	11:11am LastWhiteRhino: The Skeleton Crew sends out the swag via "Boney Express" !
	👻 11:12am pantz: Nice one @LWR! Up top {smack!}
	11:12am Brendan: Thanks for the Osborne brothers Joe. Their harmonies remind me a little bit of the Everly Brothers
	11:13am Big Les Wade: Listening in.
	11:13am WoodsOfNH: This reminds me (the sound anyway) of The Louvin Brothers "Great Atomic Power"
	11:13am iiibeat: Cuyahoga Valley National Park (The Ledges) . . Hocking Hills (Ohio) . . Ohiopyle, PA . . Got me dreaming about earth and rock. Great places . . Natural wonder.
	11:13am F. Harry Stowe: Some Louvin Brothers right here would be nice.
	11:14am Yes: :) :) :) so good, joe
	11:14am Krys O.: I was a huge John Denver fan when I was in elementary school around 1969/1970. Poems, Prayers and Promises was my gateway.
	11:14am LastWhiteRhino: Man-o-Man, that's some good mandolin.
	11:16am Stanley: Rhino - thanks, mate. So much work on, leaves me too tired, to do much. Also bit stressed lately, not very good company. You take the mandolin, I'm on fiddle.
	11:17am Krys O.: Used to watch the Opry on CMT back in the late 80s/early 90s and saw Osbornes. Loretta Lynn was a big fan of The Osborne Brothers too.
	11:18am Earth Walker: Yeeeee haaaaaa
	11:18am Andrea in Jersey City: Great show! Hi everyone
	11:19am Hubig Pie: Finally some banjo
	11:19am Itzall Hear: Del...SO "high lonesome"...saw him and his boys out front of a little record store in Little 5 Points (ATL), years ago...they were great.
	11:19am Andrew_in_WI: Bluegrass festivals are some of the rowdiest I've been to.
	👻 11:20am pantz: Del McCoury has that great high lonesome sound. It's really a family affair with his band too. They're all sons or sons-in-law.
	11:20am Earth Walker: Please turn up the volume. 10
	11:20am TDK60: Some of you may not know, WFMU is right next door to a post office. (Best news all morning: postal workers in Dallas and Wash. St. refused to remove some equipment.)
	👻 11:21am pantz: I used to go out of my way to see these guys. Merlefest in NC was the best. I miss those days.
	11:21am Andrea in Jersey City: TDK60 : That is great news! Let's all send more letter to friends to keep the post office going! :)
	👻 11:22am YETI BOB: @TDK60: Do you have a source for that news story? I'm having trouble finding it.
	11:22am WoodsOfNH: And of course the bill to put things back will not be taken up by the Senate. I really hope they change the rules in the future to block this kind of thing. If you don't like a bill, go on record and vote against the damned thing. Everything is so broken.
	11:23am TDK60: Yeti, it was just a short mention on 'Democracy Now', with no source.
	11:23am D Rok: Loving this Bluegrass set!
	11:24am Joe McG: I think the P.O. is great and I fully support them.
	11:25am Rick A.: I saw Del McCoury in Prospect Park many years ago. He has such a warm and welcome stage presence. He actually solicits requests. I still think one of my favorite songs of his is the version Richard Thompson's "1952 Vincent Black Lightning". McCoury played it when I saw him. Then several years later I saw Richard Thompson perform it in Prospect Park on a very rainy night.
	11:25am Brendan: Every election year I keep kicking myself for not getting one of those Ralph Stanley for president bumper stickers.
	👻 11:25am YETI BOB: @TDK60: Thanks. 'Democracy Now' is good enough of a source for me.
	11:25am WoodsOfNH: Wow. "Modern" Christianity in a nutshell.
	11:26am Earth Walker: I think God saved my life but sometimes I wanna kill my neighbors
	11:26am Rick A.: if only Trump voters would listen and really take in this song.
	11:27am Corey: Grew up with a lot of Christians that fit this bill.
	11:27am Mark Hurst: Preach it, Joe
	11:27am diana: @joe mcg . it’s never too late to dress as a roller. my husband grows big side burns and dresses like lemmy for his birthday. it gets better every year. great show!
	11:28am Krys O.: Excellent set, Joe.
	11:28am pappywithakhakisweatband: Memories of my mother dancing around my living room to this song ... good stuff Joe
	👻 11:28am YETI BOB: Nice. "Postal workers in Washington state and Dallas, Texas, said they have ignored orders from above and reinstalled high-speed mail sorting machines.". Not just refusing to remove, but actually reinstalling. Thanks TDK60. www.democracynow.org...
	11:28am Hubig Pie: But the neighbor kid is such a deadbeat
	11:29am Joe McG: @Hubig: Ha ha ha
	11:30am TimBk: Bill Monroe's version of Body and Soul is heart-wrenching.
	11:30am Brian in New Orleans: the ONLY blue box in our Marigny neighborhood has been secured shut with USPS packing tape
	11:30am PaulRobeson1920: Ho. Ho. Ho
	11:31am Hubig Pie: 30 yrs old and still sponging off ma
	11:31am PaulRobeson1920: Naked corruption- the current post office issue.
	11:31am Stanley: Hi Joe. The Bay City Rollers are a bit of an embarrassment, here in Scotland. Nice to see they have a home on WFMU.
	👻 11:32am Hughie Considine: I found my way this song via St. Etienne's "Like a Motorway." What a stunner.
	11:32am Joe McG: @Hubig: I'll play the Rolling Stones' "Neighbours" next week for counterpoint. :) @Stanley: Aw, sorry to hear that! @Brian: That totally sucks!
	11:33am Dean: Nick Lowe did that marvelous BCR tribute tune. I like much of their early stuff.
	11:33am Jason from Houston: Nice rally this weekend at one of our local USPS stations. ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:33am Rick A.: That is great about the post office. If people want to write letters to support the post office and help our democracy, there is a group called Vote Forward that has you write letters to people in certain states reminding them to vote. It has a template that you write on to explain your reasons for voting. It's non partisan. it's just encouraging people to vote. I wrote ten letters to people in Ohio last week. You can find them at votefwd.org.
	👻 11:33am pantz: Send this one out to Uknown Hinson. May he remain forever unknown.
	11:34am PaulRobeson1920: “At long last, sir? Have you left no sense of decency, sir? At long last?” HEY! At least Rock and Rolll is incorruptible!
	11:35am JG: The Grass is Blue is great Dolly album. I think she does stairway to heaven on it.
	11:35am Rick A.: I was wondering how popular the Rollers were in Scotland. They played this new year's eve televised event. Then again, I would probably cringe at the bands who have played Dick Clark's Rockin Eve in the past.
	11:37am TimBk: Hey Joe, are you familiar with this live version? it's better than Mornroe's recorded version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7WBbWDmbq0
	11:37am JG: wow I don't have this one on my gentle on my mind playlist. will add now
	11:38am iiibeat: When I was headed into Columbus, I found a record store near/around Otterbein University called Spinning Disc Records (in Westerville) . . I picked up a few . . But it was mostly all 60's-90's stuff . . They pretty much stopped at Nirvana and Butthole Surfers. But . . I was telling the owner about wfmu . . Mainly so that they might tune in and juice their inventory a bit different and turn the kids on around there . . Y'all should follow up somehow . .
	11:38am Joe McG: @TimBk: Ah yes, killer version. Monroe's is definitive, but I like the NGR version, too!
	11:40am snoochienucci: How I’m on vacation in asbury this week. Enjoyed the country bluegrass on my bike ride! That last one reminded me a lot of George Hamilton
	11:40am snoochienucci: Joe* damn autocorrect
	11:44am Joe McG: Something about a fast-picked banjo just makes my blood catch fire! Glad you're enjoying, snoochie and all. I'm going to ride out the bluegrass till the end since I'm enjoying myself.
	11:44am Ike: Sounds great!
	11:45am Harold Puffinstuff: John Hartford is the man.
	11:45am TDK60: Got to see John Hartford a few times. Guy could hold an audience, just solo.
	11:45am steveo: Fire
	11:45am ratso: Yee-haw, that's some hot pickin'!
	11:45am Big Les Wade: Alan Munde
	11:45am steveo: Fire set! Great show!
	11:46am nematomorpha: haha. I'm blasting this at the restaurant i cook at. one of the waiters just came to mee and said: "dude this some real trump supporter shit music"... i turned it up a notch!
	11:46am Hubig Pie: Brian in NOLA, so the post office has been stolen and the mailbox is locked?
	11:47am snoochienucci: Yeeehawwwww
	11:47am Ken From Hyde Park: I forget, between Buck Owens and Roy Clark, which one was a-pickin' and which one was a-grinnin'?
	11:47am yerfriendpaul: Joe, this is so great. Thank you!
	👻 11:48am pantz: "trump supporter music"? Far from it! Sam Bush used to come into the bar I tended back in the 90's. Always had his mandolin handy and would sit in with the locals sometimes.
	11:49am nematomorpha: @pantz: i know, but for most austrians it just sounds 'rednecky'. it's a shame. so great
	11:49am Big Les Wade: Is an artist culpable for the audience they attract?
	11:49am paul: I think Roy was a-pickin.
	11:49am Joe McG: Yeah, blue grass is full of good people who are not those kind of people.
	11:49am PaulRobeson1920: @Joe Yeah! Me too! Old and In The Way or some big Pete Seeger does it every time
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @nema: The divorce of Folk & C&W sort of parallels LBJ losing the South for Democrats by signing the Civil Rights Act in 1964. But only sort of. Here in New Hampshuh let me tell you - the Commercial Country radio is a propaganda machine. Ha Hubig! That used to seem such a surreal absurdity...
	11:51am Ike: Since y'all are mentioning news and Christianity, here's a bonus news item: Jerry Falwell Jr. is trying to pass off his suspected cuckold or threesome relationship with his wife and another man as an affair between the wife and the man, because the man is allegedly trying to blackmail them. He even put out a statement very suspiciously including the phrase "this relationship... in which I was not involved." Hilarious. (I don't judge if you're into cuckolding... unless you're a hard-right-wing hypocrite!)
	11:51am steveo: I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pet iguana no more!
	11:51am Rick A.: If you ever go to Merlefest in western North Carolina, it's filled with hippies, actually. The Grateful Dead performed bluegrass numbers and their songs have been covered by bluegrass musicians. Oen of the best is the Chris Hillman, Tony Rice quartet's version of "Friend of the Devil".
	11:51am paul: I stand corrected: https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-rotz-001&hsimp=yhs-001&hspart=rotz&p=pickin+and+grinnin#id=4&vid=eed2264aa6e652d7974b652089e7dbb6&action=click
	👻 11:51am pantz: I think "Deliverance" gave bluegrass a bad reputation. Some of the best people you'll meet are in bluegrass. Think more of an Andy Griffith than a Boss Hog.
	11:51am TimBk: in the south where I'm from, bluegrass attracts both hippies/deadheads and good country people.
	11:51am PaulRobeson1920: Maggies iguana bit my toe
	11:52am PaulRobeson1920: Bit it good too
	11:53am Itzall Hear: TimBK, THAT's what I love about MY "south" too.
	11:53am Andrea in Jersey City: Wow, great music, thank you
	👻 11:53am pantz: Great Mickey Fickey show today, Joe!
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody, glad you had fun! Have a great week, and see you next time!
	11:54am Roberto: Boss Hogg lived in our building in the '60s/'70s. My brother and his son were BFFs.
	11:54am Earth Walker: Heavens Door Beautiful We’ll all be knocking some day
	11:55am Big Les Wade: Do children play Rock, Paper, Scissors anymore?
	11:55am zivilars: this whole country / bluegrass set is epic, even for McGasko standards
	11:55am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	11:55am Rick A.: When Barack Obama first ran for president in 2008, Ralph Stanley very publicly endorsed him. There was even a commercial. Stanley performed at an Obama event. Obama told Ralph that he had some of his songs on his Ipod. Stanley turned to someone and asked, "What's an Ipod?"
	11:55am ratso: Thanks, Joe! What a fun set to end the show with.
	11:56am Brendan: Thanks. Joe. Nice.
	11:56am Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ B L U E G R A S S ♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	11:56am Krys O.: @Roberto: You know Nic Booke? He's a great musician and a fine person.
	11:56am TimBk: Great set Joe!
	11:56am Strandlund: Great Show, Joe!!
	11:56am TDK60: Thanks, Joe.
	11:56am Joe B: great show as always Joe
	11:56am Roberto: Yes, I knew Nicky well in the '70s. I don't think my brother his been in touch with him in a long time.
	11:57am Earth Walker: Beautiful Show Joe Thanks
	11:57am Andrew_in_WI: Fun show today! Thanks Joe McG!
	11:57am yerfriendpaul: @RickA - ha ha! I love that story
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well present company will be aware the old joke - I like both kinds of music, Country - & Western has roots in reality: Country bring the Hill music & Western the Cowboy songs... We Leftists & Hipsters feel obliged to say 'Americana' maybe - but screw them: they don't own Country. Commercial Nashville Corporate is manufactured for the Lowest Common Denominator for easy profits - & that has meant RightWing pandering - but there's a he'll of a lot more American Roots style musics than that. & great stuff it is too!
	11:57am 12539: Thanks, Joe! Stay safe!
	11:57am Rick A.: Great show, Joe, beginning with Dire Straits and ending with bluegrass, vintage McGasko!
	11:57am Claire from Montclair: Really liked that Knockin on Heavens Door!
	11:57am KWilde: Great final set - great show - thanks Joe
	11:58am radioronan: Thanks Joe!
	11:58am Krys O.: @Roberto: I met Nic in person about 11 or 12 years ago, but he was a big fan of my ex's music and I and others played his covers on WFMU in the 80s and 90s.
	11:58am iiibeat: History in general is mostly like that pixelated photograph/image of a black-hole that came out a couple of years ago . . If you wanna know what a black-hole really looks like . . You'll need images from every possible point of perspective. Otherwise you are just an aspect of propaganda!
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Haha .... thanks for your research, paul. Thanks for the fun today, Joe.
	11:58am Roberto: Oh wow, that's cool. I'll let my brother know.
	11:58am paul: All 3 Pauls are in the house.
	11:58am John in Phoenixville: Thanks for a great show, Joe!
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Typo city ...I want a real computer again...
	11:58am Corey: Loved the show, thanks Joe!
	11:59am yerfriendpaul: The show is a paul magnet!

	9:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...OoooohhhAhhhOooooh !
	9:02am Krys O.: Greetings!
	9:02am kev: hi Joe
	9:02am deborah: Radio Radio!
	9:03am Krys O.: Hey there, David (in London), long time no see.
	9:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Bring on the noise! Boing boing!
	👻 9:04am pantz: Wow! Blast from the past.
	9:04am David (in London): Hi Krys. Was out of town for a while, with a Wi-Fi signal that really couldn't handle any streaming. But I'm back now and twice as yippy. How's yourself?
	9:05am Pale Son: Aha! Was expecting to hear this one last week.
	9:05am TDK60: Good day.
	9:05am Yes: hello friends
	9:05am TimBk: Morning Joe, I think Making Movies outside of the horrible Les Boys is a perfect album. I wore this one out back in the day.
	9:06am Roberto: This whole album shreds.
	9:06am Jennica: Good morn' everyone. Peace to all.
	9:07am Colleen: Looking forward to the show Joe!!
	9:08am pp: Dire Straits only reminds me of disappearing free-form radio stations of the 1970's who would then play this kind of stuff to death. imho
	9:08am Jennica: The interlude sounds like Peter Blegvad.
	9:08am David (in London): Hey TDK, Jennica, Colleen.
	9:09am Tim 07030: Good morning, Joe! If this is 'Tunnel of Love', please tell me I'm in a dorm room in Providence in the early 80s...
	9:10am Joe McG: Hey everybody! Picking up where we left off last week and then moving on! @TimBk: Agree, "Les Boys" is such homophobic shit that I have to shut the album off before it gets there. Up to there, wonderbar!
	9:11am Jennica: Big air hugs from me to you, David (iL)!
	9:12am Roberto: Les Boys is homophobic? I guess I need to give it another listen (then maybe never another one after that).
	9:12am melinda: Hi friends
	9:13am ratso: Hi Joe, others.
	9:13am TDK60: Hello David of Londonton.
	9:13am Krys O.: @David (in London): Keeping on. Thanks for asking.
	👻 9:14am nortonjutland: Morning Joe. off to a great start!
	9:15am LastWhiteRhino: Joe............................Hello.
	9:16am foreign_listener_k: Les Boys is pretty bad, and the typical British anti-German slant might be a bit harder to pick up on
	9:16am Krys O.: Here's an interesting interview with Knopfler: members.tripod.com...
	👻 9:17am Handy Haversack: Good morning, Joe and all! Glad we're back at the bemusement park!
	9:18am Bill W: Knopfler gets a lifetime pass from me for the LOCAL HERO score.
	9:19am Joe McG: @Krys/Robero: Ah, I see, he was writing from the point of view of a character. I wasn't giving him enough credit. I let Randy Newman get away with that all the time and I forget that Knopfler does it, too ("Money for Nothing").
	👻 9:19am YETI BOB: People listen to Dire Straits voluntarily?
	9:21am Joe McG: @Yeti: Ha ha ha!
	9:21am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Joe McGasko!! Hello gang!!
	9:21am Rick A.: Joe, you are falling into my 90s with the Belle and Sebastian and S.F. Seals. I still listen to Truth Walks in Sleepy Shadows. Manning's voice is very sweet. The Greasy Kid's Stuff crew used to play "Kids' Pirate Ship" quite often. Kathy McCarty would go well among these songs.
	9:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Jesus, Joe—are you also reading my old college journals??
	9:22am Roberto: "Robero?" Heh, I might just use that.
	9:23am mlsgrrl: Bill Bragg writes the most romantic songs of anyone living.
	9:23am Joe McG: Whoops, sorry Roberto! Monday morning fingers. Hey Greg, yes I found them very interesting! ;)
	9:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 Bragg
	9:24am David (in London): foreign_listener_k - It's not 'typically British', that's a lazy generalisation. Some parts of the population indeed, but plenty more no not at all. Many German POWs elected to stay in the UK after the War, for example, because the hostility was so quickly forgotten, from Man City goalkeeper Bert Trautmann to the Schramm family in the village where I grew up.
	👻 9:25am Threemoons: Gooooood morning Joe McG, fellow YipYips
	9:26am Marc Francis: @Joe McG: I always thought Les Boys was written in a way like Lou Reeds Walk On The Wild Side (although not nearly as good).
	👻 9:26am YETI BOB: @D(iL): Aren't the Windsors basically imported German royalty?
	9:27am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning! Hey DiL, hey Handy!
	9:28am Tim 07030: Ha, hearing this Harry Roesli from a couple of rooms away I initially thought it was the Style Council!
	9:28am Joe McG: @Marc F: You are probably right! It always bugged me, but Krys O.'s link makes me think I need to give it a fairer shake. I don't really like it musically, though, anyway! It's a dud at the end of the LP.
	9:28am ?: this harry track is great
	9:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Would tend to write off Straits as 80s MOR (Middle of the Road) - but as a thin-haired no pick using Stratocaster diddler myself - it is humbling to hear Knopfler's command of all those tones on that track.
	9:30am Webhamster Henry: Excellent accent, Sophia!
	9:30am Joe McG: If you understand French, cover your ears for the next track or you may blush.
	9:32am David (in London): Yeti Bob - You mean The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha? See Blackadder IV for a good comic take on that. Hey Phillippe!
	9:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there's worse Chart Hits than Straits - more backhanded a compliment than some songs deserve even... On subject of clean Gittar tones - HBD Virgo John Cippolina.
	9:32am WoodsOfNH: Daaaaaaaannnnng!
	9:32am LastWhiteRhino: Oooooo La La !
	👻 9:32am pantz: Mon Dieu!
	9:33am Sonderangebot: LOL Joe, this is a pretty raunchy song, you're getting away with it because it's in French!
	9:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Blackadder Blackadder! You nasty little man!
	9:33am Tim 07030: Is 'Tonight's The Night' next?
	9:33am David (in London): I'm blushing at such Gallic sauciness.
	9:33am Joe McG: @Sonderangebot: I know! :) Thanks for the shout-out on your last show, btw! The mold!
	9:34am Martin From Montreal: Wow, this song is so... Hum... NSFW
	9:34am dougseidel: this french voice breath so close to my ear
	👻 9:35am pantz: Is that a baguette in your pants or are you just glad to see me, Joe?
	9:35am Joe McG: Sorry about that, Martin! :)
	9:36am Joe McG: @pantz: Ha!
	9:36am Sonderangebot: @Joe my pleasure... omg the mold... it was a disaster! @Martin this song is... funny for us (MTL represent!)
	9:37am Martin From Montreal: It's OK, Joe, thank for this discovery, I didn't knew this song... That part when she said that when she was young she was sucking her thumb but new she want to suck his thumb, ouch...
	9:38am oshiwoshi: ohh better lay another log on the fire
	👻 9:38am Handy Haversack: Don't worry, David milord. I have a cunning plan. Hey, Phillippe!
	9:38am ratso: Keep the Home Fries burnin'
	👻 9:39am Handy Haversack: The English version of Nanette's song is on Michele's One-L Premium for this year!
	👻 9:39am pantz: I love these metaphors!
	9:39am Martin From Montreal: Still working from home, no risk of colleagues entering my office while this track was playing...
	9:39am Yes: :)
	9:40am Krys O.: Oh, Millie <3
	9:40am Colleen: Oh this is so funny!
	9:40am David (in London): Hey Handy. How was your trip?
	9:41am melinda: @Bill W Local Hero is such a good movie.
	9:41am sinner: My Momma didn't allow listening to Millie Jackson in our house.
	9:41am Colleen: YEAH!!
	👻 9:42am Handy Haversack: Still tripping, David! I was just making sandwiches to take with us on today's hiking/swim hole odyssey. Dinner with Mr. Pumpy's mother tonight!
	👻 9:42am pantz: Mickey Fickey is my new goto swear word.
	9:43am David (in London): Handy, super cool! Sounds like you're really putting your back into relaxing. Good man.
	9:44am kev: I don't think I've heard this since it was "the big matress" song of the week
	9:44am Pale Son: This song should be called Tortured Metaphor.
	9:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Millie ain't no Vanillie maybe...
	9:44am Bloom: this song just never stops
	9:45am PaulRobeson1920: “We must rapidly transition from a thing oriented society to a people oriented society”
	👻 9:45am Handy Haversack: You gotta love what you do, David!
	9:45am Terr in DE: Millie ! Get down and Par tay.
	9:45am Phin The Hyooman: @Pale Son, bwahaha! Was just thinking the same thing.
	9:45am PaulRobeson1920: Howdy Yall! Never herd this song before
	9:45am nematomorpha: Still have Nanette in my head.
	9:46am PaulRobeson1920: Gotta LOvE WFMU
	9:52am Sylvia (France-NYC): in France we don't really get why we have this sultry reputation abroad, and then there's the art
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: nema I wish she still had me in hers ...well?!...
	9:53am B R M: Funkiest Prince song. Most underrated album. Love this.
	9:53am Joe McG: I hear the food's good, too, Sylvia! ;)
	9:53am Colleen: NICE ONE!!!
	9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Prince the Producer interested me the most.
	9:54am Sylvia (France-NYC): @Joe well, food and other pleasures are related in some ways, so...
	9:57am David (in London): Hey Sylvia. Have you got your copy of Carol's Premium CD yet? She sent me mine last week. It sounds great, doesn't it?
	9:58am Roberto: Purple Rain hit the radio just as I was starting college. I can attest that it was played and played and played on top 40 radio all that semester. (And played some more.)
	10:00am Sylvia (France-NYC): @David in London I did, in NYC! I got Michael to send me the tracks in digital form since I'm in France, but we haven't taken the time to listen to it yet (we're at the mastering stage of our next album, between that and radio listening, there's not enough hours in a day) I'm looking forward to it though
	10:04am miniteeny: I’m digging Dire Straights this summer. Thanks for that one
	10:05am David (in London): Sylvia, I really like it. I'm biased, obviously, but it all sounds great.
	10:05am suzyhotrod: The Ridiculous Trio kicked off my show a few weeks ago. LOVE IT!
	👻 10:06am Marley P. Dogg: Joe McG - still waiting for a block of The Hooters ala WMMR in 1985
	10:07am Sylvia (France-NYC): @David :)
	10:07am Joe McG: Nice, Suzy! :) @Marley: You may be waiting a while!
	10:07am David (in London): Seems only right. At The Stooges' first gig, they WERE a ridiculous trio. Iggy playing a vacuum cleaner and dancing in his golf shoes whilst Scott beat the Hell out of an oil drum.
	👻 10:08am Marley P. Dogg: Haha - guess it’s a good thing I have it my my collection
	10:10am joe mulligan: @Marley - ha! I heard way too much Hooters and Tommy Conwell on WMMR back in the 80s. For some reason I'm ok with the Robert Hazard though
	10:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Originally the Psychedelic Stooges yup.
	10:11am peonie: aaackkghhkkk
	10:12am Jason from Houston: Oh no... I missed the Millie J/Bobby Patterson/Prince combo. Here now for the duration.
	10:13am Joe McG: @joem: Tommy Conwell! Forgot about him! I agree that out of the bunch, Robert Hazard remains my favorite.
	10:13am Joe McG: Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers!
	10:13am joe mulligan: I was so tired of Tommy Conwell that when I saw him in a bar before his show I sang "I'm not your man" to him off key while he was getting a drink. one my jerk moments.
	10:14am WM: Thanks for the Albert Ayler even though New Grass is not my favorite recording of his. The best track of his later work is Drudgery from Music is the Healing Force of the Universe.
	10:15am Joe McG: @WM: I know it's a controversial album. Most hardcore fans don't dig it. One of his best album covers, though! :)
	10:19am Hope Chernov: i still have an autographed photo of Robert Hazard from when he played at my high school. Not bragging.
	10:19am Joe McG: @Hope: Did you hang it in your locker?
	👻 10:21am pantz: Jonnie and Eddie are covering the classics. I think I even heard some Chick Corea in there.
	10:22am Meesalikeu: thx for albert ayler — yes cleveland is in the house on wfmu this morning.
	10:24am Hope Chernov: Joe - under my glossy photo of Justin Hayward, yes.
	10:24am Meesalikeu: oh i recognize this music — sober on mardi gras — good stuff lol.
	10:24am WoodsOfNH: I like this Mike Dillon...sort of reminds me of a straitened up Tom Waits.
	10:25am Joe McG: @Hope: Ha ha!
	10:26am Meesalikeu: classique third man theme sets a certain mood for sure
	👻 10:26am pantz: Ah, what a great movie. I can see Orson wander off into the crowd.
	10:26am Stashuuuu: This is so cute
	10:27am Hubig Pie: Alida Valli walks stone cold thru the graveyard
	10:28am David (in London): Trevor Howard looking all gimlet-eyed.
	👻 10:28am Handy Haversack: We're getting ready for the hike. Hey, Joe, if you see this, could you wish Kate a happy bday for tomorrow?
	10:28am LastWhiteRhino: Happy Birthday to the Del Rubios
	10:29am yerfriendpaul: @Handy - Happy Birthday Kate!
	👻 10:29am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Paul! I will pass along!
	10:29am Colleen: From Pee Wees Christmas special!!!
	10:29am Colleen: Hey Handy!!
	10:30am LastWhiteRhino: The Del Rubios did "These Boots were Made for Walking" on Pee Wee's show.
	10:30am David (in London): Handy, ah, happy birthday to Kate!
	10:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joyeux Virgoan Solar Return Kate !
	10:31am John in Phoenixville: Del Rubios were also on The Golden Girls!
	10:31am WoodsOfNH: Uh oh...here comes the Taylor Swift!!
	10:32am Joe McG: @Woods: Have you or anyone here heard the new Taylor Swift album? I'm so curious and yet I haven't listened to it.
	10:33am 12539: Damn, my plaid high water pants are in the wash today!
	10:33am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG I listened to it once but it was late at night and I kind of konked out...(not the music's fault). Gonna give it another try soon.
	10:35am John in Phoenixville: One of my very first 45s was Bay City Rollers. Saturday Night.
	10:35am Joe McG: Sorry, Handy, just saw your note above. I'll get Kate on the next mic break.
	10:36am diana: good morning. bcr- fashion plates!
	10:36am Joe McG: @John: Nice way to begin!
	10:36am David (in London): Ah the great Roy Wood. He was probably having a rather lean time of it in 1982 though.
	👻 10:38am pantz: Shades of Ringo's solo stuff there.
	10:38am egould310: For a song that was ostensibly about the “ rock n roll” lifestyle... well let’s just say that didn’t rock.
	👻 10:39am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe! We're still filling water bottles and packing for the hike, so we're listening and full of glee to be doing so!
	10:39am Joe McG: @diana: I never went as a Roller for Halloween. A great regret.
	10:39am John in Phoenixville: Indeed it was, @Joe McG!
	10:40am David (in London): Joe, there's still time. I can lend you a tartan scarf.
	10:40am Nacho: The Penthouse was on the first floor of of a 5 story building in the oldest part of town. Lots of live albums were recorded there in the 60's. The building is still there but the "Penthouse" is long gone.
	10:40am Sylvia (France-NYC): @Joe I haven't listened to folklore yet but I will. I'm curious about it, too, and she's obviously a good songwriter. Some djs have played tracks here already.
	10:40am Dennis Diken: go Joe!
	10:41am Joe McG: Thanks, David! Great COVID protection, too. @Nacho: Thanks for the info! @Sylvia: I haven't heard them yet! @Dennis: Hi, Dennis!
	10:41am zivilars: fantastic sets today (as always) - thanks, Joe!
	10:41am WoodsOfNH: What I do remember about Folklore is that I really liked the opening track, with Bon Iver.
	10:41am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:42am Rick A.: I was at a Scottish New Year's Eve party in Los Angeles in 2015. The proud hosts had a live feed from Glasgow that featured the Bay City Rollers playing live. It was four in the afternoon in Los Angeles. I had no idea that the Bay City Rollers were Scottish and that they were still playing together in 2015.
	10:43am Carmichael: Heya Joe. Covered in smoke this morning, sun is deep orange. In the future, please don't play the good stuff until 7:30. :)
	10:43am Jeffrey Davison: Monday Morning Master McGasko...
	10:43am Joe McG: Glad you're enjoying, zivilars! @RickA: I didn't know they were, either! I wonder how many original members?
	10:43am Jason from Houston: I (Don't) Wanna Be Rich
	10:44am Joe McG: @JD: Saturday Morning Genius Jeffrey Davison!
	10:46am Martinibomb: Good morning joe!
	10:48am TDK60: Hang in there, Carmichael. A mask has two reasons there, eh?
	10:48am Joe McG: Hey Martinibomb, good morning! Many stars in the house today.
	👻 10:50am Handy Haversack: Colleen (10:29): hi! We slept right through WAB today -- and likely will again tomorrow!
	👻 10:50am pantz: "Couples only skate!"
	👻 10:50am Handy Haversack: Oof, Carm, sorry to hear it.
	10:50am Mike Sin: Only one original dude in the Rollers these days.... It's amazing how so much of their mid LPs are filled with original material by the band. After the success, they were given a lot of songwriting control. The covers of the Raspberries and Bowie on the later LPs are pretty interesting.
	10:50am Jason from Houston: Indeed.
	10:51am Jason from Houston: Taking my skates off and calling mom now.
	10:51am Brian C.: Songs from this era of Bee Gees still grate on me. I thought I'd moved on from "disco sucks"
	10:51am Carmichael: Could be much worse, Handy. Containment happens. Eventually ...
	10:52am WoodsOfNH: I used to really not like The Bee Gees but now I hear them and it makes me remember when I was 17 and my only problem was what time I was picking up my girlfriend to go out...
	10:52am Andrew_in_WI: "Too Much Heaven " that's a sentiment I would never think of in 2020
	10:53am John in Phoenixville: This Bee Gees is another one of my childhood records, Joe. You’re taking me back.
	10:56am Krys O.: A very FMU segue there, Joe. Kudos.
	10:57am Michele with One "L": I love this song so much
	10:57am Andrew_in_WI: Rolnick?
	10:57am Marc Francis: Dang. That Magazine song was ACE.
	10:57am lukavino: WAKE UP
	10:58am Martinibomb: I used to have to sing this in choir class in Jr. High lol - pretty good song luckily
	10:58am Ed Casey: Magazine is an inspired choice for Monday AM. Howard Devoto rocks!
	10:59am PaulRobeson1920: Dream dream dream
	10:59am steveo: Loved that Neil Rolnick remix!
	11:01am Dean: You should experiment with a bunch of 45s all at once.
	11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Foreverleys. I like film of them with Buddy Holly's Crickets & how you can so see The Beatles from there.
	11:03am Stanley: (emerges from spreadsheets) Hi Joe. Yikes! I see the Bay City Rollers on the playlist. Glad I missed that.
	👻 11:04am Handy Haversack: Ah, Joe, that made tremendous smiles happen! OK, friends, be well. We're off to Vroman's Nose. Breathe carefully, Californians! Bye, Joe!
	11:04am Michele with One "L": wfmu.org...
	11:05am Brian in New Orleans: beautiful day here .no storm nice breeze
	11:05am Michele with One "L": We've collected a bunch of organizations if anyone wants to check out the PSA page - wfmu.org...
	11:06am iiibeat: Say . . Where is my swag?!?
	11:06am LastWhiteRhino: Hey Stanley, good to see you on the comment board. I haven't seen you post in a while. I was beginning to worry.
	11:06am iiibeat: I want my swag goddammit!!!
	11:08am iiibeat: Ah. Okay.
	11:08am Jason from Houston: Ahhh! I got my swag on Friday. Thank you, good folks.
	11:09am iiibeat: I'll check me mailbox tonight!
	11:09am WoodsOfNH: Did the swag go via USPS or some other service?
	11:09am Joe McG: We send everything USPS.
	11:09am Jason from Houston: The Double-Dip Recess shirt is the best...
	11:10am lukavino: i got my swag saturday and am currently sporting my JA JAZZ T.
	11:10am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG Good to know. We relocated to Maine, supposedly or the summer...but it's turning out to be more permanent so we have the mail forwarding delay thing.
	11:11am iiibeat: Big ol sticker on the vehicle in front of me said "Beacon" when you said "shine a light on it . . " lol
	11:11am LastWhiteRhino: The Skeleton Crew sends out the swag via "Boney Express" !
	👻 11:12am pantz: Nice one @LWR! Up top {smack!}
	11:12am Brendan: Thanks for the Osborne brothers Joe. Their harmonies remind me a little bit of the Everly Brothers
	11:13am Big Les Wade: Listening in.
	11:13am WoodsOfNH: This reminds me (the sound anyway) of The Louvin Brothers "Great Atomic Power"
	11:13am iiibeat: Cuyahoga Valley National Park (The Ledges) . . Hocking Hills (Ohio) . . Ohiopyle, PA . . Got me dreaming about earth and rock. Great places . . Natural wonder.
	11:13am F. Harry Stowe: Some Louvin Brothers right here would be nice.
	11:14am Yes: :) :) :) so good, joe
	11:14am Krys O.: I was a huge John Denver fan when I was in elementary school around 1969/1970. Poems, Prayers and Promises was my gateway.
	11:14am LastWhiteRhino: Man-o-Man, that's some good mandolin.
	11:16am Stanley: Rhino - thanks, mate. So much work on, leaves me too tired, to do much. Also bit stressed lately, not very good company. You take the mandolin, I'm on fiddle.
	11:17am Krys O.: Used to watch the Opry on CMT back in the late 80s/early 90s and saw Osbornes. Loretta Lynn was a big fan of The Osborne Brothers too.
	11:18am Earth Walker: Yeeeee haaaaaa
	11:18am Andrea in Jersey City: Great show! Hi everyone
	11:19am Hubig Pie: Finally some banjo
	11:19am Itzall Hear: Del...SO "high lonesome"...saw him and his boys out front of a little record store in Little 5 Points (ATL), years ago...they were great.
	11:19am Andrew_in_WI: Bluegrass festivals are some of the rowdiest I've been to.
	👻 11:20am pantz: Del McCoury has that great high lonesome sound. It's really a family affair with his band too. They're all sons or sons-in-law.
	11:20am Earth Walker: Please turn up the volume. 10
	11:20am TDK60: Some of you may not know, WFMU is right next door to a post office. (Best news all morning: postal workers in Dallas and Wash. St. refused to remove some equipment.)
	👻 11:21am pantz: I used to go out of my way to see these guys. Merlefest in NC was the best. I miss those days.
	11:21am Andrea in Jersey City: TDK60 : That is great news! Let's all send more letter to friends to keep the post office going! :)
	👻 11:22am YETI BOB: @TDK60: Do you have a source for that news story? I'm having trouble finding it.
	11:22am WoodsOfNH: And of course the bill to put things back will not be taken up by the Senate. I really hope they change the rules in the future to block this kind of thing. If you don't like a bill, go on record and vote against the damned thing. Everything is so broken.
	11:23am TDK60: Yeti, it was just a short mention on 'Democracy Now', with no source.
	11:23am D Rok: Loving this Bluegrass set!
	11:24am Joe McG: I think the P.O. is great and I fully support them.
	11:25am Rick A.: I saw Del McCoury in Prospect Park many years ago. He has such a warm and welcome stage presence. He actually solicits requests. I still think one of my favorite songs of his is the version Richard Thompson's "1952 Vincent Black Lightning". McCoury played it when I saw him. Then several years later I saw Richard Thompson perform it in Prospect Park on a very rainy night.
	11:25am Brendan: Every election year I keep kicking myself for not getting one of those Ralph Stanley for president bumper stickers.
	👻 11:25am YETI BOB: @TDK60: Thanks. 'Democracy Now' is good enough of a source for me.
	11:25am WoodsOfNH: Wow. "Modern" Christianity in a nutshell.
	11:26am Earth Walker: I think God saved my life but sometimes I wanna kill my neighbors
	11:26am Rick A.: if only Trump voters would listen and really take in this song.
	11:27am Corey: Grew up with a lot of Christians that fit this bill.
	11:27am Mark Hurst: Preach it, Joe
	11:27am diana: @joe mcg . it’s never too late to dress as a roller. my husband grows big side burns and dresses like lemmy for his birthday. it gets better every year. great show!
	11:28am Krys O.: Excellent set, Joe.
	11:28am pappywithakhakisweatband: Memories of my mother dancing around my living room to this song ... good stuff Joe
	👻 11:28am YETI BOB: Nice. "Postal workers in Washington state and Dallas, Texas, said they have ignored orders from above and reinstalled high-speed mail sorting machines.". Not just refusing to remove, but actually reinstalling. Thanks TDK60. www.democracynow.org...
	11:28am Hubig Pie: But the neighbor kid is such a deadbeat
	11:29am Joe McG: @Hubig: Ha ha ha
	11:30am TimBk: Bill Monroe's version of Body and Soul is heart-wrenching.
	11:30am Brian in New Orleans: the ONLY blue box in our Marigny neighborhood has been secured shut with USPS packing tape
	11:30am PaulRobeson1920: Ho. Ho. Ho
	11:31am Hubig Pie: 30 yrs old and still sponging off ma
	11:31am PaulRobeson1920: Naked corruption- the current post office issue.
	11:31am Stanley: Hi Joe. The Bay City Rollers are a bit of an embarrassment, here in Scotland. Nice to see they have a home on WFMU.
	👻 11:32am Hughie Considine: I found my way this song via St. Etienne's "Like a Motorway." What a stunner.
	11:32am Joe McG: @Hubig: I'll play the Rolling Stones' "Neighbours" next week for counterpoint. :) @Stanley: Aw, sorry to hear that! @Brian: That totally sucks!
	11:33am Dean: Nick Lowe did that marvelous BCR tribute tune. I like much of their early stuff.
	11:33am Jason from Houston: Nice rally this weekend at one of our local USPS stations. ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:33am Rick A.: That is great about the post office. If people want to write letters to support the post office and help our democracy, there is a group called Vote Forward that has you write letters to people in certain states reminding them to vote. It has a template that you write on to explain your reasons for voting. It's non partisan. it's just encouraging people to vote. I wrote ten letters to people in Ohio last week. You can find them at votefwd.org.
	👻 11:33am pantz: Send this one out to Uknown Hinson. May he remain forever unknown.
	11:34am PaulRobeson1920: “At long last, sir? Have you left no sense of decency, sir? At long last?” HEY! At least Rock and Rolll is incorruptible!
	11:35am JG: The Grass is Blue is great Dolly album. I think she does stairway to heaven on it.
	11:35am Rick A.: I was wondering how popular the Rollers were in Scotland. They played this new year's eve televised event. Then again, I would probably cringe at the bands who have played Dick Clark's Rockin Eve in the past.
	11:37am TimBk: Hey Joe, are you familiar with this live version? it's better than Mornroe's recorded version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7WBbWDmbq0
	11:37am JG: wow I don't have this one on my gentle on my mind playlist. will add now
	11:38am iiibeat: When I was headed into Columbus, I found a record store near/around Otterbein University called Spinning Disc Records (in Westerville) . . I picked up a few . . But it was mostly all 60's-90's stuff . . They pretty much stopped at Nirvana and Butthole Surfers. But . . I was telling the owner about wfmu . . Mainly so that they might tune in and juice their inventory a bit different and turn the kids on around there . . Y'all should follow up somehow . .
	11:38am Joe McG: @TimBk: Ah yes, killer version. Monroe's is definitive, but I like the NGR version, too!
	11:40am snoochienucci: How I’m on vacation in asbury this week. Enjoyed the country bluegrass on my bike ride! That last one reminded me a lot of George Hamilton
	11:40am snoochienucci: Joe* damn autocorrect
	11:44am Joe McG: Something about a fast-picked banjo just makes my blood catch fire! Glad you're enjoying, snoochie and all. I'm going to ride out the bluegrass till the end since I'm enjoying myself.
	11:44am Ike: Sounds great!
	11:45am Harold Puffinstuff: John Hartford is the man.
	11:45am TDK60: Got to see John Hartford a few times. Guy could hold an audience, just solo.
	11:45am steveo: Fire
	11:45am ratso: Yee-haw, that's some hot pickin'!
	11:45am Big Les Wade: Alan Munde
	11:45am steveo: Fire set! Great show!
	11:46am nematomorpha: haha. I'm blasting this at the restaurant i cook at. one of the waiters just came to mee and said: "dude this some real trump supporter shit music"... i turned it up a notch!
	11:46am Hubig Pie: Brian in NOLA, so the post office has been stolen and the mailbox is locked?
	11:47am snoochienucci: Yeeehawwwww
	11:47am Ken From Hyde Park: I forget, between Buck Owens and Roy Clark, which one was a-pickin' and which one was a-grinnin'?
	11:47am yerfriendpaul: Joe, this is so great. Thank you!
	👻 11:48am pantz: "trump supporter music"? Far from it! Sam Bush used to come into the bar I tended back in the 90's. Always had his mandolin handy and would sit in with the locals sometimes.
	11:49am nematomorpha: @pantz: i know, but for most austrians it just sounds 'rednecky'. it's a shame. so great
	11:49am Big Les Wade: Is an artist culpable for the audience they attract?
	11:49am paul: I think Roy was a-pickin.
	11:49am Joe McG: Yeah, blue grass is full of good people who are not those kind of people.
	11:49am PaulRobeson1920: @Joe Yeah! Me too! Old and In The Way or some big Pete Seeger does it every time
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @nema: The divorce of Folk & C&W sort of parallels LBJ losing the South for Democrats by signing the Civil Rights Act in 1964. But only sort of. Here in New Hampshuh let me tell you - the Commercial Country radio is a propaganda machine. Ha Hubig! That used to seem such a surreal absurdity...
	11:51am Ike: Since y'all are mentioning news and Christianity, here's a bonus news item: Jerry Falwell Jr. is trying to pass off his suspected cuckold or threesome relationship with his wife and another man as an affair between the wife and the man, because the man is allegedly trying to blackmail them. He even put out a statement very suspiciously including the phrase "this relationship... in which I was not involved." Hilarious. (I don't judge if you're into cuckolding... unless you're a hard-right-wing hypocrite!)
	11:51am steveo: I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pet iguana no more!
	11:51am Rick A.: If you ever go to Merlefest in western North Carolina, it's filled with hippies, actually. The Grateful Dead performed bluegrass numbers and their songs have been covered by bluegrass musicians. Oen of the best is the Chris Hillman, Tony Rice quartet's version of "Friend of the Devil".
	11:51am paul: I stand corrected: https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-rotz-001&hsimp=yhs-001&hspart=rotz&p=pickin+and+grinnin#id=4&vid=eed2264aa6e652d7974b652089e7dbb6&action=click
	👻 11:51am pantz: I think "Deliverance" gave bluegrass a bad reputation. Some of the best people you'll meet are in bluegrass. Think more of an Andy Griffith than a Boss Hog.
	11:51am TimBk: in the south where I'm from, bluegrass attracts both hippies/deadheads and good country people.
	11:51am PaulRobeson1920: Maggies iguana bit my toe
	11:52am PaulRobeson1920: Bit it good too
	11:53am Itzall Hear: TimBK, THAT's what I love about MY "south" too.
	11:53am Andrea in Jersey City: Wow, great music, thank you
	👻 11:53am pantz: Great Mickey Fickey show today, Joe!
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody, glad you had fun! Have a great week, and see you next time!
	11:54am Roberto: Boss Hogg lived in our building in the '60s/'70s. My brother and his son were BFFs.
	11:54am Earth Walker: Heavens Door Beautiful We’ll all be knocking some day
	11:55am Big Les Wade: Do children play Rock, Paper, Scissors anymore?

	11:55am Rick A.: When Barack Obama first ran for president in 2008, Ralph Stanley very publicly endorsed him. There was even a commercial. Stanley performed at an Obama event. Obama told Ralph that he had some of his songs on his Ipod. Stanley turned to someone and asked, "What's an Ipod?"

	11:57am yerfriendpaul: @RickA - ha ha! I love that story
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well present company will be aware the old joke - I like both kinds of music, Country - & Western has roots in reality: Country bring the Hill music & Western the Cowboy songs... We Leftists & Hipsters feel obliged to say 'Americana' maybe - but screw them: they don't own Country. Commercial Nashville Corporate is manufactured for the Lowest Common Denominator for easy profits - & that has meant RightWing pandering - but there's a he'll of a lot more American Roots style musics than that. & great stuff it is too!

	11:58am iiibeat: History in general is mostly like that pixelated photograph/image of a black-hole that came out a couple of years ago . . If you wanna know what a black-hole really looks like . . You'll need images from every possible point of perspective. Otherwise you are just an aspect of propaganda!
