	11:07am clarke: they do it up in that there Queens!!!
	♥ 11:07am Frank In Queens: Hi Handy! Those were vodka sodas.Too much beer over the holidays has lead me to seek out lighter libations.
	♥ 11:08am Frank In Queens: We try, clarke!
	♥ 11:08am Handy Haversack: We are right this second drinking vodka sodas with a splash of grapefruit as our brunch cocktails, Frank! Of course, it will never be as classy on this side of the creek ...
	♥ 11:09am spodiodi: nice one, Frank in Queens! love it
	11:09am Ross T.: Okay I give up -- whose mug on the left?
	11:09am CalZone!: Great start, MS!
	11:09am clarke: don ho, right?
	♥ 11:09am spodiodi: my guess is Frank's (but it's a glass)
	♥ 11:09am Frank In Queens: Ross, that's Don Ho!
	11:10am Ross T.: Ahhhh yes
	♥ 11:10am Handy Haversack: Hey, spodi! Check the e-mail account that I have for you -- I sent you a proposal!
	♥ 11:10am greg g: Good Morning Michael and #1 Hit Club Members & Non Members & Everyone! Happy Saturday from Buffalo in the New York!!
	11:10am Ross T.: I was going to guess Freddy Weller!
	♥ 11:10am HyperDose: I'm not too late am I? Did I miss the hits?!
	♥ 11:10am Listener Baby: Baby. I caught that Motown Doc last night. White-washed AF, but totally moving and mind-blowing. The talent was oozing out of the front door of that place. Highly recommend everyone catch it on Prime. It's leaves in two days.
	11:10am Dennis Diken: go, Mikey!
	♥ 11:10am Frank In Queens: Handy, your side of the creek is plenty classy. We used to live there too!
	♥ 11:12am Frank In Queens: Baby, was it Standing In The Shadows Of Motown?
	♥ 11:12am spodiodi: v.Proud indeed
	11:13am gf2002: I thought Don Ho on that glass looks a little like 1966-67 era Brian Wilson
	♥ 11:13am Listener Baby: Hi Frank. No, it's called Motown Something or other. Baby recommended it last week. If you go to prime and search Motwon, it will be the first one comes up.
	♥ 11:14am JG: Morning Michael, and #1 Hit fans. Weird little diorama there. And in the background, presumably, a pair of AR3s
	11:14am ?: Listener Baby, very good indeed. But a little too much Smokey and BG.
	♥ 11:14am Frank In Queens: Cool, thanks Baby!
	11:14am davefromtoronto: who made the bukowski sculpture in the photo?
	11:14am paul: I am ?
	♥ 11:15am Handy Haversack: Of course, I was so busy trying to get brunch made and served before Kate goes to band practice that I forgot to even take a sip of the drink until right ... now!
	♥ 11:15am Listener Baby: True, that's how and why is so white-washed. The footage is scary great. Worth watching for so many reasons.
	♥ 11:15am Frank In Queens: JG, they're KLH 6's.
	11:16am Ross T.: Or Bobby Goldsboro. It's the hair.
	11:16am Ross T.: Don Ho and Charles Bukowski -- but of course.
	♥ 11:17am Frank In Queens: Dave, Stu Gray (aka Stu Spasm) made the sculpture.
	♥ 11:17am JG: @ Frank, they look very similar to the ARs. Not familiar with those. Nice grill and wood. Classic look. How do they sound?
	11:17am davefromtoronto: it's great! what a cool surprise to see that - do you like his writing?
	♥ 11:17am Greg from ZONE 5: Happy Saturday, Shelleys & Ruth & all!
	♥ 11:18am Frank In Queens: @JG, they sound fab. Big step up from the huge 80s Fisher speakers I was running before. But yes, they do look similar to the ARs.
	♥ 11:19am spodiodi: happy saturday, Greg
	♥ 11:19am Frank In Queens: @Dave, yes I'm a big fan.
	♥ 11:19am StringOFperils: This TV program still aired in Britain as Danger Man, strangely.
	♥ 11:20am Handy Haversack: Hey there, Greg! Settling for Saturday once again!
	11:20am P-90: History of the early ancestral origins of the Seven Second Delay theme right there.
	♥ 11:21am StringOFperils: Yes, it's true, it wasn't actually written about Andy.
	♥ 11:22am spodiodi: i was about to say BY Andy, SOp :)
	11:22am Ross T.: Our motto - -"We'll Be Right on It."
	♥ 11:23am StringOFperils: Great minds occupied by the same trivia
	♥ 11:23am spodiodi: aye, it's no cheese stands alone, but it's still a heavy tune
	11:23am Listener Bop Monroe: my brother got the Dangerman/Secret Agent Man dvd box set. there's a great 2nd/3rd season episode that hints at 'theVillage' from The Prisoner. ...that and patrick mcgoohan was on Columbo this morning at 5am.
	11:24am johnk77: the doc on amazon prime that is leaving in 2 days is hitsville: the making of motown
	♥ 11:24am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Ruth, Dennis, Greg, Baby, Frank, Handy, Spo-man, and all rainy day rockers!
	♥ 11:24am Handy Haversack: We can take back the song by Soaking Andy Breckman sevon SSD during Marathon!
	11:25am Ruth Booth: Jack!
	♥ 11:25am spodiodi: hello Hoboken Jack!
	♥ 11:26am Frank In Queens: Hiya Jack!
	♥ 11:26am ze boocherie: I'm in bed with it. Barely left the house this month and always double-masked. I agree there's something we don't know, or can't predict. Still, people gotta be more responsible. Having this thing completely sucks.
	♥ 11:26am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Michael, the one thing that might guarantee some weight loss is a bridge I won't cross. I think a little alcohol dependency is absolutely necessary (for me) for getting through these dark times.
	♥ 11:28am Squints: "My advice to you is to..."
	♥ 11:28am Squints: Are there any wrong versions of that?
	♥ 11:28am Frank In Queens: @Handy, I hear ya man! But that's one of the reasons I've been forgoing the beer in favor of vodka. Less calories per drink, and I just tend to drink less vodka than beer in one sitting. I also didn't drink during January, which helped.
	11:28am P-90: That version is do-able
	11:30am clarke: one would have to be present when they cut the lacquer disc - so, no, was not there.
	♥ 11:30am RobinSays: Inner groove message on The Clash's London Calling: Tear Down The Walls.
	11:30am Ross T.: I bet "Eddie" has since hired lawyers to find out where the royalties are.
	♥ 11:31am Listener Baby: Eddie and The Hotrods do Dr. Feelgood. And well, I might add.
	♥ 11:31am Michael Shelley: some labels ask you what you want...
	♥ 11:31am StringOFperils: Hopped up pub rock turning into something else
	11:31am Ross T.: "He who hesitaes is lunch" was on some Eagles record I learned second hand.
	11:31am convoy_pt2: The Laughing Hyenas have my favorite inner groove: side 1 “We’ll come to your town...’ side 2 “And party down.”
	♥ 11:31am Frank In Queens: Dead wax scribbling is very interesting, but yeah, I'm in the same boat as clarke.
	11:32am Frank Migliorelli: i don't have a copy of it but i think there's groove messages etched in the Eagles Hotel California- I think it say "Is it 6 O'clock yet?"
	11:32am Brian B: Stiff records had no shortage of inner land inscriptions. Fave: "A Porky Prime Cut"
	11:32am robfoto: Always remember the one on Lens Lovich’s Stateless: “Lena is leader, Les is More”, obviously referring to Les Chappell!
	♥ 11:33am Handy Haversack: Frank, a year ago, we sometimes stocked vodka or scotch in the house but mostly just drank beer. Now we buy beer maybe once a week but have a liquor selection that some bars might envy. We generally have a couple of cocktails around the snacking hour and then transition to vodka sodas or wine for the evening hours. My list of cocktails that I stock to is two pages of two-column text! What a world. Later on I have to go out for Punt E Mes, dry vermouth, Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, and rye. Sheesh. What's happened to me?
	11:34am P-90: Not the first time Don Ho was mistaken for Brian Wilson. Or Vice versa.
	♥ 11:34am Frank In Queens: Brian, that's the typical mark of the mastering engineer George Peckham. If you see that in the deadwax, you can be pretty sure that it's a great sounding record!
	11:34am muddybrookrambler: I ran a small label in the 90s: 10 releases, all 7” one LP. The LP was a solo project & the artist put “for Leah” on the runout. Leah was his ex gf. The got back together after that, have been married for 20 years, 2 kids, and are now in a band together. So...it worked?
	11:35am G from Tarrytown: The cover for the Teenage Depression LP was a standout in an era of fantastic punk rock covers. It had a prominent position in my room when I was in high school which made my folks so happy.
	11:35am Marci: Next year is my guess
	11:35am Vt Knit Girl: 2022
	♥ 11:35am Hoboken Jack: The day there's a WFMU mask available, they will no longer be required.
	11:35am P-90: Answer: around New Years. If we’re lucky and nothing unforeseen goes south.
	11:35am gf2002: "Phil + Ronnie" on the runout of "Let It Be"
	11:36am clarke: ah, leah...here we go again!!
	11:36am Dayffid: What about the fmu documentary?
	♥ 11:36am StringOFperils: @Frank In Queens > Thank you for that info. re. George Peckham; I have several of those pressings inscribed w A Porky Prime Cut...maybe the most memorable of those things
	♥ 11:36am Frank In Queens: @Handy, wow that's some set up!
	11:36am Sleve McDichael: I think mask rules will linger into next year, but that they will have been unnecessary and required only out of an abundance of caution for a few months before that.
	11:36am Ross T.: Going to a lot of meetings on Zoom but overindulging in salty snacks. And sweet. And all my pants shrunk.
	11:37am johnk77: https://www.amazon.com/Hitsville-Making-Motown-Berry-Gordy/dp/B07WJ6LBY9
	11:37am paul: Burn Motherf**** Burn also on Amazon Prime until Monday.
	♥ 11:37am Michael Shelley: THANKS JOHNK AND love this art: michaelshelley.net...
	11:37am Davefrom Brooklyn: Mr Shelley, if you want to see an important piece of information, I implore you to watch Brandy Vaughn Merck you tube. Ms Vaughn was found dead last month at 40 years of age. She is our latest Karen Silkwood who was murdered back in the 80s for spilling the beans on Three Mile Island. One also has to ask why Bill Gates, who has no medical training was allowed to be on TV before his employee Fauci, while he repeated his message, We won't be normal again till we get a vax. There's a lot going on here if one is willing to look beyond the official narrative
	♥ 11:38am Frank In Queens: @String, Peckham also used "Pecko Duck" from time to time as well as a few others, but "A PORKY PRIME CUT" was his most common signature.
	11:38am RB: Given the amount of particulate air pollution in urban areas , I think there will always be mask wearers , moving forward . Between protecting from respiratory viruses and filtering out particulates , there are health benefits to wearing them , COVID aside , :-)
	11:38am Sleve McDichael: (To clarify, I'm not an anti-masker, I think the mask rules are super necessary now, but think by the time most people get vaccinated in summer/fall they will no longer be strictly needed)
	♥ 11:38am full_english_breakfast: I had only ever heard the Alex Chilton cover of I've Had It from "Like Flies on Sherbert"
	11:39am Ross T.: Here in Bay Ridge the mask quotient is dropping daily. However in Park Slope you will still be destroyed by eye lasers for failure to do so.
	11:40am johnk77: commuters in japan have been wearing masks since at least the 1970s
	11:40am Paul in south orange: I have a promotional copy of a Ramones album that has the secret message “They put itching powder in my sleeping bag” on the inner groove
	11:40am HQ10: FYI: I renewed my WFMU Swag For Life membership last week before the new MS premium was added (it has since been added to my swag, thanks to Joe McGasko). If you're a Swag-For-Lifer who updated before the MS premium was added, make sure you ask for it!
	♥ 11:40am Listener Baby: Frank: If you watch the Doc. Lean in near the end of it. Footage of Marvin Gaye singing What's Going On. Sitting a foot from him, James Jamerson playing his ass off. Best footage of JJ I've ever seen. Worth it just for that.
	♥ 11:40am Frank In Queens: I don't think I'll ever not wear a mask on public transportation again. Thankfully, I haven't been sick at all since COVID started. In the very least, I will wear a mask in public when I'm sick. At this point, it seems like a no-brainer.
	♥ 11:41am Hubig Pie: I thought it was Nixon 'cept for the no-tie tshirt
	♥ 11:41am Frank In Queens: Thanks again, Baby!
	♥ 11:41am Jimmy Wipper: A kid in the kindergarten class I teach with drew a picture of Rosa Parks for Black History Month and she put a mask on her! You don't realize how much a part of our lives masks have become, and for little kids, most of their lives.
	11:41am clarke: there ain't much actual footage of JJ "The Hook"
	♥ 11:41am Handy Haversack: I've taken to shouting "selfish!" in the direction of maskless yuppie joggers who pass me on the Pulaski Bridge when the dog and I are out for our bridge walking. I feel like one upshot of COVID is that I can really embrace my destiny as a crank. #COVIDALOCA Hey, Hubig!
	11:42am clarke: WIPPPPAAAAAAH!!!
	♥ 11:42am Jimmy Wipper: Uzzle's Downunder booked all the best bands in Norfolk.
	11:43am Davefrom Brooklyn: Ross T, I'm a fellow Ridge Rat,and when I walk the streets unmasked I do get stares.
	♥ 11:44am spodiodi: 11:41 your "selfish!" sounds popular as my "fuck you"
	♥ 11:44am Hubig Pie: 'ello Mr. Haversack. I always mutterin' behind the mask "cover that ugly dog-face of yooz".
	♥ 11:45am spodiodi: (^ Handy)
	11:45am clarke: Uzzle Strasse
	♥ 11:45am spodiodi: i'm like you , Hubig. but too loud
	♥ 11:45am Michael Shelley: pleasekillme.com...
	♥ 11:46am spodiodi: Louis \m/
	11:46am ?: i now carry two extra masks in my coat pocket so i don't go out without one. that and a reusable grocery sack. howdy DfB.
	11:46am Davefrom Brooklyn: The New York dept of health's website says: There is no evidence that the wearing of masks will stop transmitting or catching the virus. Fact
	11:46am Listener Bop Monroe: i now carry... etc
	11:47am Chuckie Boy: Sex, Drugs and aerosol transmission of Covid: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(21)00040-9/fulltext
	♥ 11:47am Spankyflop: I used to go see Sam Butera every summer in Atlantic City in the late 80s.
	♥ 11:47am myron feld: That Sam Butera interview on Please Kill Me is fabulous.
	11:47am Ross T.: DaveFB -- I'd say only in recent days have I seen the percentage go down -- essentially down by the water and in the parks. In stores people are still masked. On the streets again lessening. Purely anecdotal! When I'm out in the park for a stroll I 'flick the brights" when I see someone approaching.
	♥ 11:47am spodiodi: DLR \m/
	♥ 11:47am spodiodi: hahahaha
	♥ 11:48am spodiodi: dammmmmn :D nice, M$
	11:48am Listener Bop Monroe: ...but nothing beats ALFALFA!!
	11:48am vertual: That's amazing stuff about Sam Butera et al. I guess they never did a bio pic.
	11:49am P-90: “Get the F out” I’m guessing David Lee gets that a lot
	11:49am Sleve McDichael: Hahaha I love an old curmudgeon. I also love DLR's ridiculous video, though.
	♥ 11:49am Frank In Queens: Link Dave From Brooklyn?
	♥ 11:50am spodiodi: haha, P-90. me too, steve, and DLR in general
	11:50am P-90: Nothings better than these two
	♥ 11:51am dave wuz here: high note grease
	11:52am Davefrom Brooklyn: Frank in queens.nysdoh. Brandy Vaughn Merck you tube is important to see
	♥ 11:52am Michael Shelley: yeah, Id love to see that link too. And a dozen loose eggs.
	11:53am gf2002: Thanks for linking the interview with Sam - I love Louis and Keely (and Sam! ). Brian Setzer nicked them too, almost note for note, and had a big hit Jump Jive N Wail
	♥ 11:53am Frank In Queens: I don't see that language on the NYSDOH website. Perhaps you have a more precise link for the site that I should see?
	♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: I learned that Please Kill Me was still an ongoing project only recently when the station newsletter pointed out that efd is mentioned in the installment on the Cosmopolitans! Love that book!
	11:55am phat: That Prima/Smith track was really great. Like, that was a band.
	♥ 11:56am Jimmy Wipper: Love this song, and Glen's version is wonderful.
	♥ 11:56am dave wuz here: neil hamburger kills this one
	♥ 11:57am HyperDose: That corn on the cob line was a bit suspect o.O
	11:57am Ross T.: Leving the straight life behind...not that there's anything wrong with that....
	11:57am davefromtoronto: crackers and beer!
	♥ 11:57am Listener Baby: Softly with crackers and beer?
	♥ 11:57am StringOFperils: I can't live in this Bobby Goldsboro movie. Ack!
	♥ 11:58am G: Haven't heard or thought of this Campbell since it was on the charts when I was a little kid. Thanks for the nudge. :-)
	11:58am Davefrom Brooklyn: Frank queens, no, I can't give you a link. Again though, if one is interested in opinions not of the official narrative, one should watch Brandy Vaughn Merck you tube.
	11:58am Listener Bop Monroe: fake out ending!
	11:59am davefromtoronto: you made my day michael! xo
	♥ 11:59am Handy Haversack: So that URL is confirmation-bias.net then?
	♥ 11:59am JG: Beautiful Glenn Campbell
	12:00pm phat: My brother was a huge Glenn Campbell fan. He was quite a bit older than me. I didn't get it when I was a kid. I do now.
	12:00pm RB: Pre COVID, I’d regularly see commuters wearing masks n95 . In cities in China and India , people regularly wear masks bc of high particulate pollution levels. They’ve been for sale on line long before COVID . Will become the next must have fashion accessory , once all the silly political talk about it goes away. Bc there are health benefits that go beyond Covid :-)
	♥ 12:01pm G: Actually, I bet the version I heard back in the day was the Goldsboro, but the Campbell version sure sounded familiar...
	♥ 12:02pm Frank In Queens: Dave, I'm actually not that interested.
	♥ 12:02pm dave wuz here: the older brother of the guy that cuts my sister's hair has a friend that says masks don't work.
	12:03pm clarke: nice segue, here, dude.
	♥ 12:03pm Montmaster J: Great song! Love this one.
	♥ 12:03pm StringOFperils: Feels good to hear this today
	♥ 12:04pm Hughie Considine: Now that's a fine wordless chorus.
	♥ 12:04pm Frank In Queens: It feels good to hear this any day!
	12:04pm phat: This might be the most Emmitt Rhodesy Macca track out there.
	♥ 12:04pm Hubig Pie: The man with the loud mouth and big gut at the groceries says they don't work either
	♥ 12:05pm Hughie Considine: That first proper solo LP was great all the way through.
	♥ 12:05pm Montmaster J: Release the new Let it Be movie now!!!
	12:05pm clarke: i haven't had the urge to go back to listen to Mccartney III, after listening to it when it came out - not a good sign.
	♥ 12:05pm Listener Baby: Best solo PM song
	12:05pm Dennis Diken: Hi Jack!
	12:05pm phat: I love it when he gets "soulful." Lol. "Believe me mama." So great.
	♥ 12:06pm spodiodi: i avoid wearing a mask by not going outside much. (an old tradition carried over from pre-P times) thanks for the Paul McCartney, M$
	♥ 12:06pm spodiodi: he's no Sting, phat, but at least he tried
	♥ 12:07pm Hughie Considine: Wild Life gets no respect in the used bins, but I love the version of "Love Is Strange." @Phat, yes, that's a fine moment. Back in the 70s there was a whole of mama going on. Ask Robert Plant.
	12:07pm paul: Great commercial.
	12:07pm phat: @spodiodi literal lol
	♥ 12:08pm Squints: Crap. What instrumental are the guys on this sings "badada"iing to? Makes me crazy when I don't know but can't place it.
	12:08pm clarke: the commercial version was The T-Bones
	12:08pm phat: @Hughie Considine perhaps we should bring that back!
	♥ 12:08pm Listener Baby: Baby. That some Jazz right there!
	♥ 12:08pm StringOFperils: No NRBQ without this guy being there first.
	12:09pm davefromtoronto: we "met" paul maccartney in ottawa when he was on tour. he broke out of his group on the way to his gig ride to shake my son's hand. thrilling to say the least. my wife actually did an involuntary beatlemania scream when he stepped out of the elevator.
	12:09pm Ross T.: Okay I'll throw in my Covid take. Suffice to say I agree with Michael's basic assessment that there is huge amount that is not known relative to what is known. Not going into wild theories either but it seems spraying down Amazon packages and bags of Doritos wasn't necessarily helpful. BTW I am a so-called "long hauler" -- got sick just before the lock down. Like a flu but since have had rotating symptoms including fatigue and a distorted sense of smell. Mild relative to some I read about. Also know two people who got extremely ill from the vaccine as well as some who experienced little. Again, what we do not know...in the meantime I seek to do the best I can in all regards and not be arrogant in proclamations.
	♥ 12:11pm Frank In Queens: Shot out of a cannon!
	12:12pm clarke: guard the capital!!
	12:13pm phat: Did you write out that "quit" segue beforehand? Cause that was slick.
	♥ 12:13pm Greg from ZONE 5: I licked caffeine and booze and I'm currently working on nicotine, though I'm pretty sure it's impossible.
	12:13pm phat: @Dennis Diken happy belated!
	♥ 12:14pm Michael Shelley: phat - are you being sarcastic?
	12:14pm clarke: i was!
	12:14pm Robbie Darling: Howdy Micheal!
	12:15pm Dennis Diken: @Mikey, it’s most likely Hal playing on the version of “No Matter What Shape” - and the original T-Bones hit. And probably numerous other versions. He probably “covered” himself a lot!
	♥ 12:15pm Squints: Diet soda habit. I don't lick caffeine . I guzzle it. And beer when it's beer o'clock. Which doesn't come every day. My girlish figure, don'tcha know.
	♥ 12:15pm Hubig Pie: Sugar, grease, caffeine and alcohol- my only weakness
	12:16pm phat: @phat not at all. It was super slick.
	♥ 12:16pm Squints: Cars girls surfing beer.
	12:16pm Davefrom Brooklyn: Ross T, agreed, no arrogance is intended. I do implore you to watch Brandy Vaughn,Merck YouTube. It's an eye opener well worth watching.
	♥ 12:16pm Montmaster J: Can't kick my Bustelo. :(
	12:16pm Robbie Darling: Aren't Brian and Mike Love best buds?
	♥ 12:17pm Michael Shelley: in that case- thanks ! (not written out)
	12:17pm Queens L. Bow: From the NY State Dept. of Health website: "While cloth face coverings may not prevent the wearer from becoming infected, they might help slow spread from people who have the virus and are unaware." Another part of the site advises wearing masks too. So, a useful tip, right? Reading comprehension is an important skill.
	12:18pm Ross T.: My comments were not directed at you or anyone, Dave. I am open to hear any reasonable interpretation of facts.
	12:18pm phat: @Michael Shelley I love DJ tricks like that. It's an artform unto itself.
	12:18pm phat: @Michael Shelley accidentally @ed myself
	♥ 12:18pm Frank In Queens: Thank you Queens. That's exactly what I saw on the site too.
	12:19pm Queens L. Bow: And as I think we've learned since Jan. 6 & before, YouTube videos aren't always a great source of factual information. Maybe....
	12:19pm Robbie Darling: Have a great trip to D.C.? Take some good mixed tapes!
	12:20pm clarke: we gonna do MovieTime, this week? (not that i have any entries - most episodes for this guy)
	♥ 12:22pm spodiodi: i agree with Queens L. Bow. nuts to that
	♥ 12:23pm Hughie Considine: There's a heartbreaking doc on youtube about one of Gene's comeback tours in England.
	12:23pm phat: I don't take my advice about anything from someone claiming vaccinations are dangerous and cause things like autism.
	♥ 12:23pm Handy Haversack: Greg, I quit smoking four years, ten months, fifteen days ago, and it was the hardest thing I have ever done and sucked such enormous quantities of ass that I can still remember the feelings of white-hot planet-burning rage from those first few months. But it happened, and it's doable. And while I still miss it every day, it made the people who love me much, much happier. And I am better able to do many things I love. I have degraded to a pretty much takeit-or-leave-it relationship with caffeine. I'll have a cup in the morning if it appears, but I don't much care either way. Good looking out, Queen L. Bow!
	12:23pm Davefrom Brooklyn: Queens L ,the Brandy Vaughn Merck you tube post is of a talk Ms Vaughn did after she quit Merck. Before one trashes its content, it would only be fair to view it first. Otherwise, one's comprehension might be compromised
	12:24pm Bigwalky: Nicextra nice mix this show. And celebrating legal weed in jersey too
	♥ 12:25pm spodiodi: the only thing more reliable and worth of note than a YT vid is a YT Comment(er)
	12:25pm Listener Bop Monroe: i saw 'Black Judas,etc" on wednesday and "United States vs Billie Holiday' last nite. i recommend both! but is it just me or are they both the (almost exact) same story kinda?
	12:26pm phat: @Greg from ZONE 5 I smoked at least 2 packs a day for 20 some years and quit cold turkey. If I can do it, anyone can. Granted, I had to quit drinking first (which was harder for me) but I did it.
	12:26pm clarke: love jean arthur!!!
	♥ 12:27pm Jimmy Wipper: @clarke: Me too! "Jean Arthur" is also a great song by Robbie Fulks.
	♥ 12:28pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, The Flight Attendant was entertaining espionage with good acting and beautiful people doing wild things, so it ticked off a lot of TV boxes. spodi, you're bringing it this morning! Love it!
	12:28pm bobsmart567: Anne Magnuson in Flight Attendant - she’s great in it
	♥ 12:28pm myron feld: I grew to like "The Flight Attendant" after not liking it. Yes, Kaley Cuoco was really good in it. And I've never seen "The Big Bang Theory" either. Plus Ann Magnuson was in it!!
	♥ 12:28pm Greg from ZONE 5: @phat: My best friend did the exact same thing! Baby steps.
	12:28pm paul: Big Bang Theory?
	♥ 12:29pm Hubig Pie: Mooovie talk- finally got around to watching The Manchurian Candidate in it's entirety last night. Worthy of it's high praise indeed
	♥ 12:29pm Montmaster J: Mrs. Montmaster insists on Sony....what do I know?
	♥ 12:29pm dale: insignia is supposed to be pretty decent. good tuner inside if you go the antenna route too.
	12:30pm Joe B: i thought the hitsville Motown doc was great if only for giving a lot of screen time to key motown figures who are basically unknown by the general public - mickey stevenson, paul riser etc.
	12:30pm paul: I've never seen an episode of BBT, but it seems to always be on. Anytime night or day.
	♥ 12:30pm myron feld: "Flatfoot Sam" by TV Slim is without a doubt the greatest record ever cut.
	♥ 12:30pm DJ Johnny Cool: Ah, TV Slim. Flat Foot Sam is a #1 hit.
	♥ 12:30pm philosofish: Do TV repairmen still make house calls?
	12:30pm adam: Habit, check out "seconds" another great Frankenheimer flick.
	12:31pm G from Tarrytown: remember the weird round electronic ring the tv repairman would hold up in front of the screen? 1960's technology. I thought that ring was so cool as a little kid.
	12:31pm paul: Need to follow this up with Telephone Man.
	♥ 12:31pm Frank In Queens: This week was 3 early Sam Fuller scripts, "It Happened In Hollywood", "Adventure In Sahara", and "Power Of The Press", and "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (1934).
	12:31pm clarke: yes Hubig - that is a great one, but not, by any means, Frankenheimer's best film - which i consider to be All Fall Down - that's just me.
	♥ 12:32pm Handy Haversack: Greg, I took Chantix for about four months: one before quitting and then three more after quitting. I don't have a control group (that's science, Dave), so I can't say exactly what it did, but the results are there -- and the prescription was free.
	12:32pm Robbie Darling: Is the Hitsville Motown doc on WFMU rental? I'll have a looksie. Thanks for the rec Joe. B!
	♥ 12:32pm Montmaster J: Seconds is really good. Super creepy.
	♥ 12:33pm Greg from ZONE 5: Dave "Funk" Davies
	12:33pm clarke: those are 3 Fuller films i HAVEN'T (yet) seen!! love the first Man Who Knew Too Much (2nd one is not 'bad')
	♥ 12:33pm Frank In Queens: Seconds is on my list.
	12:33pm SmokinJ: I think Slim's certified electronics technician rating may be nonexistant.. ;)
	12:34pm Braczik Melski: Frankenheimer's The Train!
	♥ 12:34pm greg g: Yes!! Thee Headcoatees ! ! with the Greatest Cover of All Time!!
	♥ 12:34pm Frank In Queens: clarke, Fuller didn't direct those, he only did the scripts. They were decent, and short; each around an hour long.
	♥ 12:34pm Greg from ZONE 5: @Frank: Seconds is a great (and weird) one! Movies are on hiatus while I re-watch Ken Burns Civil War.
	12:34pm dk50b: Yes you really need to know which brand is best when buying a TV youtu.be...
	12:34pm clarke: gotcha - how did you view them??
	♥ 12:34pm Frank In Queens: Anyone watching "Searching For Italy" on CNN?
	♥ 12:35pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, on blu ray. They're probably available elsewhere though.
	12:36pm Joe B: @Robbie - I wish. No it's on showtime and apparently on prime for another few days
	12:36pm clarke: i will second Seconds being weird
	♥ 12:36pm Montmaster J: We watched the first Searching....Stanley is prickly...but the food...yeah baby!
	♥ 12:36pm Jimmy Wipper: Yes, we've been loving "Searching for Italy"! Though we have to be eating good Italian food while watching it, haha.
	12:37pm ww: FiQ- yup I am hooked on that Tucci show...
	12:37pm phat: Ann Magnuson is in The Flight Attendent?! Hmm. I may have to watch that now. I still have my teenage crush on her.
	12:38pm ww: I now feel it is necessary for me to visit Italy before I die.
	♥ 12:38pm Frank In Queens: The 2nd episode (Rome) totally blew my mind as half my family is from Rome and I've never once eaten any of those traditional pasta dishes at a family gathering! Maybe because they're simple daily dishes and more extravagant fare was made for special events?
	♥ 12:39pm Hughie Considine: Give Rick Springfield credit for using "moot" in a Top 10 hit.
	♥ 12:39pm myron feld: @phat -- Ann is in two or three episodes.
	12:39pm Robbie Darling: Thanks Joe. Hear ya soon!
	♥ 12:39pm Frank In Queens: And that side of the family is right off the boat (including my father), so it's not like we're talking typical Italian-American cooking here.
	♥ 12:40pm Hubig Pie: When does Searching for Italy air ? Me thinks I wanna watch
	12:40pm ledzeppelinsucks: My high school girlfriends dad was yelling at her one day. She was a Bruce Springsteen fan. He was yelling 'stop listening to Bruce Springfield' 'Rick Springsteen is satanic'
	♥ 12:40pm Frank In Queens: New episodes are Sunday nights at 9PM, but I think they re-air them during the week.
	12:40pm Joe B: rick springfield responsible for me accidentally realizing i actually like one sammy hagar song
	12:40pm ww: Hubig- sunday Night I think
	♥ 12:40pm efd: Thank you for addressing the ongoing Dave-eez vs. Dave-iss controversy.
	12:41pm Joe B: @lz sucks - classic!
	♥ 12:41pm Hubig Pie: Thanks thanks, ww
	♥ 12:41pm Hughie Considine: I was recently corrected by an Englishman for my pronunciation of "Python" as in Monty. It's pronounced "PIE-thin" in England, he said with some consternation.
	12:41pm ww: I learn so much absolutely worthless sh*t from WFMU, I love it.
	♥ 12:43pm efd: @Joe B. which song?
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Frank, I've been working on my cacio e pepe technique during COVID.
	12:43pm dano59: Italy is a must! The food, the art, the architecture, the streets... the women ... family-style dining and singing Bob Marley songs with a bottle of wine and kids in Rome’s Piazzas... I ordered rabbit one night.
	12:43pm Dennis Diken: @phat - thanks!
	12:44pm ww: Ooh Dano, I am down with that.
	♥ 12:44pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, I tried it with spaghetti squash last month and it didn't quite work out the way I wanted. I think the starch from the pasta is essential to that dish.
	♥ 12:44pm -Ken: Dave from Brooklyn, the NYSDOH website is recommending mask wearing. Where exactly are you seeing the language you are quoting ? There was a period of time last year, prior to the scientific acceptance of aerosolized transmission of covid, when some governmental sites were saying what you claim. But the science changed that. Still, send the link for what you are citing, please.
	12:45pm Joe B: @efd - i've done everything for you
	12:45pm DG: Speaking of Rick Springfield & unfunny sitcoms, he was on "Suddenly Susan" (not sure how many episodes) as the boyfriend (I think), but in one episode he stars w/Warren Zevon (playing himself)! Clips are on YT (one thing YT is useful for). And speaking of sitcoms, Ann Magnuson had a regular role in "Anything But Love", this workplace/romance with Jamie Lee Curtis & Richard Lewis, which I remember being pretty good...wondered what happened to Ann M., hadn't seen her in anything in a long time (am friends with a fellow member of Pulsallama, that band she was in, on Facebook).
	12:46pm ww: Now fellaz, play nice.....this could degenerate to a "thing with a hook" instantaneously!
	12:47pm Listener Bop Monroe: what, no love for Chef Boyardee?
	♥ 12:47pm Frank In Queens: I woudln't wish Chef Boyardee on an anti-masker.
	♥ 12:47pm spodiodi: haha
	12:48pm clarke: 5555555
	12:49pm Listener Bop Monroe: :-)
	♥ 12:49pm Michael 98145: Three weeks to Spring. Thank you, axial tilt.
	12:49pm Zev: So if that's not Jerry Jemmott who is it?
	12:49pm dano59: I say”Davis” and I’m not even Welsh. Per John Wesley Harding. Then again I say Derr-EE-da, per Scritti Politti, and I know that’s wrong.
	12:50pm ledzeppelinsucks: Chef Boyardee, Cream of Wheat Man, Aunt Jemima, Betty Crocker and Mr. Clean are all living to gether in the jungle in Africa. They got tired of this sick society and decided to live together in paradise.
	♥ 12:50pm Greg from ZONE 5: @Handy: Been sucking down lozenges for a while. I guess it's helping? I haven't been smoking, but the monkey is still squarely on my back.
	12:51pm gf2002: Sounds like "A Little Less Conversation"
	12:51pm P-90: Great Nina on this classic Galt McDermott tune
	♥ 12:51pm Michael 98145: The Feb 21st version of The Stork Club was a celebration of Miss Simone
	12:52pm Zev: (I've loved this version of "I got no,..." since I first heard it, and for just as long have wondered where that propulsive bass line came from.)
	♥ 12:52pm Hubig Pie: Hector Boiardi was head chef at the Plaza Hotel so's it can't be that bad, ammiright ?
	12:52pm vertual: Wonder what Nina would think of her song being used to sell vitamins now...
	♥ 12:52pm JG: Pretty much eery Saturday I am listening to this show while I am exercising
	12:52pm ww: Greg - stick with it. Give it a year or two. Proud of you, man. Toughest thing I ever did. Probably the only reason I am still alive.
	♥ 12:53pm spodiodi: thank you, Michael Shelley! thanks, Ruth! see you all
	♥ 12:53pm Hubig Pie: ..And be sure to watch " What Happened Miss Simone " on Netflix
	♥ 12:54pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the great show! Enjoy the day all.
	12:54pm Dennis Diken: Fine show, Mikey- thanks!
	♥ 12:54pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael! Have a safe drive!
	♥ 12:55pm JG: If I am finishing up my last set of exercises when Rex comes on, I am slacking and the day is slipping away. And yet I stand here typing , avoiding the weights.
	12:55pm Joe B: The Deuce worth watching because Wyldlife are in one episode!
	12:55pm Ross T.: Attaboy!
	♥ 12:55pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Greg. I think it was a solid six months before I felt like I wasn't actively monkeyed. Probably two years before I might go for a day without thinking of smoking. @Frank, yeah, that's how my Sicilian friend explained it to me. I use his "recipe"; it's a five-page e-mail to cover making a dish that has four ingredients (counting water!). You know, discursive! Shoot, I have been working on a workshop proposal, and the time has flown! Great stuff, MS! Thanks to you! And thanks to Ruth in the Booth at the Mighty WFMU! I love this station! You all are the best. Be well, friends! And cite your sources!
	12:55pm clarke: another shiny one - safe travels!!
	12:55pm ww: Thanx Michael, be aware of those NJ State Troopers!
	12:56pm CalZone!: Swell show, MS! Keep up the good work!
	12:57pm CalZone!: Howard Kaylan hates this song ;)
	12:57pm Listener Bop Monroe: lzs - yes and somehow the Colonel just keeps on going. yikes. Flo & Eddie! thnx 4 another great saturday Mr. MS. be safe all and WEAR THAT MASK! takata ta-ta!
	♥ 12:58pm juan: Thank you for another great show, Michael! And thanks Ruth in the Booth!
	12:59pm ledzeppelinsucks: Thanks for the delicious show.
	1:00pm morphe': Thanks mike... and all.. !!!!!!!!
	♥ 1:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Michael!
	1:00pm Davefrom Brooklyn: Ken, with all due respect, the difference between recommending wearing ,and any language saying that wearing one will keep you safe are 2 different things.
	♥ 1:01pm greg g: Thank you very much Mr. Shelley and everyone have a good weekend!

	11:07am clarke: they do it up in that there Queens!!!
	♥ 11:07am Frank In Queens: Hi Handy! Those were vodka sodas.Too much beer over the holidays has lead me to seek out lighter libations.
	♥ 11:08am Frank In Queens: We try, clarke!
	♥ 11:08am Handy Haversack: We are right this second drinking vodka sodas with a splash of grapefruit as our brunch cocktails, Frank! Of course, it will never be as classy on this side of the creek ...
	♥ 11:09am spodiodi: nice one, Frank in Queens! love it
	11:09am Ross T.: Okay I give up -- whose mug on the left?
	11:09am CalZone!: Great start, MS!
	11:09am clarke: don ho, right?
	♥ 11:09am spodiodi: my guess is Frank's (but it's a glass)
	♥ 11:09am Frank In Queens: Ross, that's Don Ho!
	11:10am Ross T.: Ahhhh yes
	♥ 11:10am Handy Haversack: Hey, spodi! Check the e-mail account that I have for you -- I sent you a proposal!
	♥ 11:10am greg g: Good Morning Michael and #1 Hit Club Members & Non Members & Everyone! Happy Saturday from Buffalo in the New York!!
	11:10am Ross T.: I was going to guess Freddy Weller!
	♥ 11:10am HyperDose: I'm not too late am I? Did I miss the hits?!
	♥ 11:10am Listener Baby: Baby. I caught that Motown Doc last night. White-washed AF, but totally moving and mind-blowing. The talent was oozing out of the front door of that place. Highly recommend everyone catch it on Prime. It's leaves in two days.
	11:10am Dennis Diken: go, Mikey!
	♥ 11:10am Frank In Queens: Handy, your side of the creek is plenty classy. We used to live there too!
	♥ 11:12am Frank In Queens: Baby, was it Standing In The Shadows Of Motown?
	♥ 11:12am spodiodi: v.Proud indeed
	11:13am gf2002: I thought Don Ho on that glass looks a little like 1966-67 era Brian Wilson
	♥ 11:13am Listener Baby: Hi Frank. No, it's called Motown Something or other. Baby recommended it last week. If you go to prime and search Motwon, it will be the first one comes up.
	♥ 11:14am JG: Morning Michael, and #1 Hit fans. Weird little diorama there. And in the background, presumably, a pair of AR3s
	11:14am ?: Listener Baby, very good indeed. But a little too much Smokey and BG.
	♥ 11:14am Frank In Queens: Cool, thanks Baby!
	11:14am davefromtoronto: who made the bukowski sculpture in the photo?
	11:14am paul: I am ?
	♥ 11:15am Handy Haversack: Of course, I was so busy trying to get brunch made and served before Kate goes to band practice that I forgot to even take a sip of the drink until right ... now!
	♥ 11:15am Listener Baby: True, that's how and why is so white-washed. The footage is scary great. Worth watching for so many reasons.
	♥ 11:15am Frank In Queens: JG, they're KLH 6's.
	11:16am Ross T.: Or Bobby Goldsboro. It's the hair.
	11:16am Ross T.: Don Ho and Charles Bukowski -- but of course.
	♥ 11:17am Frank In Queens: Dave, Stu Gray (aka Stu Spasm) made the sculpture.
	♥ 11:17am JG: @ Frank, they look very similar to the ARs. Not familiar with those. Nice grill and wood. Classic look. How do they sound?
	11:17am davefromtoronto: it's great! what a cool surprise to see that - do you like his writing?
	♥ 11:17am Greg from ZONE 5: Happy Saturday, Shelleys & Ruth & all!
	♥ 11:18am Frank In Queens: @JG, they sound fab. Big step up from the huge 80s Fisher speakers I was running before. But yes, they do look similar to the ARs.
	♥ 11:19am spodiodi: happy saturday, Greg
	♥ 11:19am Frank In Queens: @Dave, yes I'm a big fan.
	♥ 11:19am StringOFperils: This TV program still aired in Britain as Danger Man, strangely.
	♥ 11:20am Handy Haversack: Hey there, Greg! Settling for Saturday once again!
	11:20am P-90: History of the early ancestral origins of the Seven Second Delay theme right there.
	♥ 11:21am StringOFperils: Yes, it's true, it wasn't actually written about Andy.
	♥ 11:22am spodiodi: i was about to say BY Andy, SOp :)
	11:22am Ross T.: Our motto - -"We'll Be Right on It."
	♥ 11:23am StringOFperils: Great minds occupied by the same trivia
	♥ 11:23am spodiodi: aye, it's no cheese stands alone, but it's still a heavy tune
	11:23am Listener Bop Monroe: my brother got the Dangerman/Secret Agent Man dvd box set. there's a great 2nd/3rd season episode that hints at 'theVillage' from The Prisoner. ...that and patrick mcgoohan was on Columbo this morning at 5am.
	11:24am johnk77: the doc on amazon prime that is leaving in 2 days is hitsville: the making of motown
	♥ 11:24am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Ruth, Dennis, Greg, Baby, Frank, Handy, Spo-man, and all rainy day rockers!
	♥ 11:24am Handy Haversack: We can take back the song by Soaking Andy Breckman sevon SSD during Marathon!
	11:25am Ruth Booth: Jack!
	♥ 11:25am spodiodi: hello Hoboken Jack!
	♥ 11:26am Frank In Queens: Hiya Jack!
	♥ 11:26am ze boocherie: I'm in bed with it. Barely left the house this month and always double-masked. I agree there's something we don't know, or can't predict. Still, people gotta be more responsible. Having this thing completely sucks.
	♥ 11:26am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Michael, the one thing that might guarantee some weight loss is a bridge I won't cross. I think a little alcohol dependency is absolutely necessary (for me) for getting through these dark times.
	♥ 11:28am Squints: "My advice to you is to..."
	♥ 11:28am Squints: Are there any wrong versions of that?
	♥ 11:28am Frank In Queens: @Handy, I hear ya man! But that's one of the reasons I've been forgoing the beer in favor of vodka. Less calories per drink, and I just tend to drink less vodka than beer in one sitting. I also didn't drink during January, which helped.
	11:28am P-90: That version is do-able
	11:30am clarke: one would have to be present when they cut the lacquer disc - so, no, was not there.
	♥ 11:30am RobinSays: Inner groove message on The Clash's London Calling: Tear Down The Walls.
	11:30am Ross T.: I bet "Eddie" has since hired lawyers to find out where the royalties are.
	♥ 11:31am Listener Baby: Eddie and The Hotrods do Dr. Feelgood. And well, I might add.
	♥ 11:31am Michael Shelley: some labels ask you what you want...
	♥ 11:31am StringOFperils: Hopped up pub rock turning into something else
	11:31am Ross T.: "He who hesitaes is lunch" was on some Eagles record I learned second hand.
	11:31am convoy_pt2: The Laughing Hyenas have my favorite inner groove: side 1 “We’ll come to your town...’ side 2 “And party down.”
	♥ 11:31am Frank In Queens: Dead wax scribbling is very interesting, but yeah, I'm in the same boat as clarke.
	11:32am Frank Migliorelli: i don't have a copy of it but i think there's groove messages etched in the Eagles Hotel California- I think it say "Is it 6 O'clock yet?"
	11:32am Brian B: Stiff records had no shortage of inner land inscriptions. Fave: "A Porky Prime Cut"
	11:32am robfoto: Always remember the one on Lens Lovich’s Stateless: “Lena is leader, Les is More”, obviously referring to Les Chappell!
	♥ 11:33am Handy Haversack: Frank, a year ago, we sometimes stocked vodka or scotch in the house but mostly just drank beer. Now we buy beer maybe once a week but have a liquor selection that some bars might envy. We generally have a couple of cocktails around the snacking hour and then transition to vodka sodas or wine for the evening hours. My list of cocktails that I stock to is two pages of two-column text! What a world. Later on I have to go out for Punt E Mes, dry vermouth, Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, and rye. Sheesh. What's happened to me?
	11:34am P-90: Not the first time Don Ho was mistaken for Brian Wilson. Or Vice versa.
	♥ 11:34am Frank In Queens: Brian, that's the typical mark of the mastering engineer George Peckham. If you see that in the deadwax, you can be pretty sure that it's a great sounding record!
	11:34am muddybrookrambler: I ran a small label in the 90s: 10 releases, all 7” one LP. The LP was a solo project & the artist put “for Leah” on the runout. Leah was his ex gf. The got back together after that, have been married for 20 years, 2 kids, and are now in a band together. So...it worked?
	11:35am G from Tarrytown: The cover for the Teenage Depression LP was a standout in an era of fantastic punk rock covers. It had a prominent position in my room when I was in high school which made my folks so happy.
	11:35am Marci: Next year is my guess
	11:35am Vt Knit Girl: 2022
	♥ 11:35am Hoboken Jack: The day there's a WFMU mask available, they will no longer be required.
	11:35am P-90: Answer: around New Years. If we’re lucky and nothing unforeseen goes south.
	11:35am gf2002: "Phil + Ronnie" on the runout of "Let It Be"
	11:36am clarke: ah, leah...here we go again!!
	11:36am Dayffid: What about the fmu documentary?
	♥ 11:36am StringOFperils: @Frank In Queens > Thank you for that info. re. George Peckham; I have several of those pressings inscribed w A Porky Prime Cut...maybe the most memorable of those things
	♥ 11:36am Frank In Queens: @Handy, wow that's some set up!
	11:36am Sleve McDichael: I think mask rules will linger into next year, but that they will have been unnecessary and required only out of an abundance of caution for a few months before that.
	11:36am Ross T.: Going to a lot of meetings on Zoom but overindulging in salty snacks. And sweet. And all my pants shrunk.
	11:37am johnk77: https://www.amazon.com/Hitsville-Making-Motown-Berry-Gordy/dp/B07WJ6LBY9
	11:37am paul: Burn Motherf**** Burn also on Amazon Prime until Monday.
	♥ 11:37am Michael Shelley: THANKS JOHNK AND love this art: michaelshelley.net...
	11:37am Davefrom Brooklyn: Mr Shelley, if you want to see an important piece of information, I implore you to watch Brandy Vaughn Merck you tube. Ms Vaughn was found dead last month at 40 years of age. She is our latest Karen Silkwood who was murdered back in the 80s for spilling the beans on Three Mile Island. One also has to ask why Bill Gates, who has no medical training was allowed to be on TV before his employee Fauci, while he repeated his message, We won't be normal again till we get a vax. There's a lot going on here if one is willing to look beyond the official narrative
	♥ 11:38am Frank In Queens: @String, Peckham also used "Pecko Duck" from time to time as well as a few others, but "A PORKY PRIME CUT" was his most common signature.
	11:38am RB: Given the amount of particulate air pollution in urban areas , I think there will always be mask wearers , moving forward . Between protecting from respiratory viruses and filtering out particulates , there are health benefits to wearing them , COVID aside , :-)
	11:38am Sleve McDichael: (To clarify, I'm not an anti-masker, I think the mask rules are super necessary now, but think by the time most people get vaccinated in summer/fall they will no longer be strictly needed)
	♥ 11:38am full_english_breakfast: I had only ever heard the Alex Chilton cover of I've Had It from "Like Flies on Sherbert"
	11:39am Ross T.: Here in Bay Ridge the mask quotient is dropping daily. However in Park Slope you will still be destroyed by eye lasers for failure to do so.
	11:40am johnk77: commuters in japan have been wearing masks since at least the 1970s
	11:40am Paul in south orange: I have a promotional copy of a Ramones album that has the secret message “They put itching powder in my sleeping bag” on the inner groove
	11:40am HQ10: FYI: I renewed my WFMU Swag For Life membership last week before the new MS premium was added (it has since been added to my swag, thanks to Joe McGasko). If you're a Swag-For-Lifer who updated before the MS premium was added, make sure you ask for it!
	♥ 11:40am Listener Baby: Frank: If you watch the Doc. Lean in near the end of it. Footage of Marvin Gaye singing What's Going On. Sitting a foot from him, James Jamerson playing his ass off. Best footage of JJ I've ever seen. Worth it just for that.
	♥ 11:40am Frank In Queens: I don't think I'll ever not wear a mask on public transportation again. Thankfully, I haven't been sick at all since COVID started. In the very least, I will wear a mask in public when I'm sick. At this point, it seems like a no-brainer.
	♥ 11:41am Hubig Pie: I thought it was Nixon 'cept for the no-tie tshirt
	♥ 11:41am Frank In Queens: Thanks again, Baby!
	♥ 11:41am Jimmy Wipper: A kid in the kindergarten class I teach with drew a picture of Rosa Parks for Black History Month and she put a mask on her! You don't realize how much a part of our lives masks have become, and for little kids, most of their lives.
	11:41am clarke: there ain't much actual footage of JJ "The Hook"
	♥ 11:41am Handy Haversack: I've taken to shouting "selfish!" in the direction of maskless yuppie joggers who pass me on the Pulaski Bridge when the dog and I are out for our bridge walking. I feel like one upshot of COVID is that I can really embrace my destiny as a crank. #COVIDALOCA Hey, Hubig!
	11:42am clarke: WIPPPPAAAAAAH!!!
	♥ 11:42am Jimmy Wipper: Uzzle's Downunder booked all the best bands in Norfolk.
	11:43am Davefrom Brooklyn: Ross T, I'm a fellow Ridge Rat,and when I walk the streets unmasked I do get stares.
	♥ 11:44am spodiodi: 11:41 your "selfish!" sounds popular as my "fuck you"
	♥ 11:44am Hubig Pie: 'ello Mr. Haversack. I always mutterin' behind the mask "cover that ugly dog-face of yooz".
	♥ 11:45am spodiodi: (^ Handy)
	11:45am clarke: Uzzle Strasse
	♥ 11:45am spodiodi: i'm like you , Hubig. but too loud
	♥ 11:45am Michael Shelley: pleasekillme.com...
	♥ 11:46am spodiodi: Louis \m/
	11:46am ?: i now carry two extra masks in my coat pocket so i don't go out without one. that and a reusable grocery sack. howdy DfB.
	11:46am Davefrom Brooklyn: The New York dept of health's website says: There is no evidence that the wearing of masks will stop transmitting or catching the virus. Fact
	11:46am Listener Bop Monroe: i now carry... etc
	11:47am Chuckie Boy: Sex, Drugs and aerosol transmission of Covid: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(21)00040-9/fulltext
	♥ 11:47am Spankyflop: I used to go see Sam Butera every summer in Atlantic City in the late 80s.
	♥ 11:47am myron feld: That Sam Butera interview on Please Kill Me is fabulous.
	11:47am Ross T.: DaveFB -- I'd say only in recent days have I seen the percentage go down -- essentially down by the water and in the parks. In stores people are still masked. On the streets again lessening. Purely anecdotal! When I'm out in the park for a stroll I 'flick the brights" when I see someone approaching.
	♥ 11:47am spodiodi: DLR \m/
	♥ 11:47am spodiodi: hahahaha
	♥ 11:48am spodiodi: dammmmmn :D nice, M$
	11:48am Listener Bop Monroe: ...but nothing beats ALFALFA!!
	11:48am vertual: That's amazing stuff about Sam Butera et al. I guess they never did a bio pic.
	11:49am P-90: “Get the F out” I’m guessing David Lee gets that a lot
	11:49am Sleve McDichael: Hahaha I love an old curmudgeon. I also love DLR's ridiculous video, though.
	♥ 11:49am Frank In Queens: Link Dave From Brooklyn?
	♥ 11:50am spodiodi: haha, P-90. me too, steve, and DLR in general
	11:50am P-90: Nothings better than these two
	♥ 11:51am dave wuz here: high note grease
	11:52am Davefrom Brooklyn: Frank in queens.nysdoh. Brandy Vaughn Merck you tube is important to see
	♥ 11:52am Michael Shelley: yeah, Id love to see that link too. And a dozen loose eggs.
	11:53am gf2002: Thanks for linking the interview with Sam - I love Louis and Keely (and Sam! ). Brian Setzer nicked them too, almost note for note, and had a big hit Jump Jive N Wail
	♥ 11:53am Frank In Queens: I don't see that language on the NYSDOH website. Perhaps you have a more precise link for the site that I should see?
	♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: I learned that Please Kill Me was still an ongoing project only recently when the station newsletter pointed out that efd is mentioned in the installment on the Cosmopolitans! Love that book!
	11:55am phat: That Prima/Smith track was really great. Like, that was a band.
	♥ 11:56am Jimmy Wipper: Love this song, and Glen's version is wonderful.
	♥ 11:56am dave wuz here: neil hamburger kills this one
	♥ 11:57am HyperDose: That corn on the cob line was a bit suspect o.O
	11:57am Ross T.: Leving the straight life behind...not that there's anything wrong with that....
	11:57am davefromtoronto: crackers and beer!
	♥ 11:57am Listener Baby: Softly with crackers and beer?
	♥ 11:57am StringOFperils: I can't live in this Bobby Goldsboro movie. Ack!
	♥ 11:58am G: Haven't heard or thought of this Campbell since it was on the charts when I was a little kid. Thanks for the nudge. :-)
	11:58am Davefrom Brooklyn: Frank queens, no, I can't give you a link. Again though, if one is interested in opinions not of the official narrative, one should watch Brandy Vaughn Merck you tube.
	11:58am Listener Bop Monroe: fake out ending!
	11:59am davefromtoronto: you made my day michael! xo
	♥ 11:59am Handy Haversack: So that URL is confirmation-bias.net then?
	♥ 11:59am JG: Beautiful Glenn Campbell
	12:00pm phat: My brother was a huge Glenn Campbell fan. He was quite a bit older than me. I didn't get it when I was a kid. I do now.
	12:00pm RB: Pre COVID, I’d regularly see commuters wearing masks n95 . In cities in China and India , people regularly wear masks bc of high particulate pollution levels. They’ve been for sale on line long before COVID . Will become the next must have fashion accessory , once all the silly political talk about it goes away. Bc there are health benefits that go beyond Covid :-)
	♥ 12:01pm G: Actually, I bet the version I heard back in the day was the Goldsboro, but the Campbell version sure sounded familiar...
	♥ 12:02pm Frank In Queens: Dave, I'm actually not that interested.
	♥ 12:02pm dave wuz here: the older brother of the guy that cuts my sister's hair has a friend that says masks don't work.
	12:03pm clarke: nice segue, here, dude.
	♥ 12:03pm Montmaster J: Great song! Love this one.
	♥ 12:03pm StringOFperils: Feels good to hear this today
	♥ 12:04pm Hughie Considine: Now that's a fine wordless chorus.
	♥ 12:04pm Frank In Queens: It feels good to hear this any day!
	12:04pm phat: This might be the most Emmitt Rhodesy Macca track out there.
	♥ 12:04pm Hubig Pie: The man with the loud mouth and big gut at the groceries says they don't work either
	♥ 12:05pm Hughie Considine: That first proper solo LP was great all the way through.
	♥ 12:05pm Montmaster J: Release the new Let it Be movie now!!!
	12:05pm clarke: i haven't had the urge to go back to listen to Mccartney III, after listening to it when it came out - not a good sign.
	♥ 12:05pm Listener Baby: Best solo PM song
	12:05pm Dennis Diken: Hi Jack!
	12:05pm phat: I love it when he gets "soulful." Lol. "Believe me mama." So great.
	♥ 12:06pm spodiodi: i avoid wearing a mask by not going outside much. (an old tradition carried over from pre-P times) thanks for the Paul McCartney, M$
	♥ 12:06pm spodiodi: he's no Sting, phat, but at least he tried
	♥ 12:07pm Hughie Considine: Wild Life gets no respect in the used bins, but I love the version of "Love Is Strange." @Phat, yes, that's a fine moment. Back in the 70s there was a whole of mama going on. Ask Robert Plant.
	12:07pm paul: Great commercial.
	12:07pm phat: @spodiodi literal lol
	♥ 12:08pm Squints: Crap. What instrumental are the guys on this sings "badada"iing to? Makes me crazy when I don't know but can't place it.
	12:08pm clarke: the commercial version was The T-Bones
	12:08pm phat: @Hughie Considine perhaps we should bring that back!
	♥ 12:08pm Listener Baby: Baby. That some Jazz right there!
	♥ 12:08pm StringOFperils: No NRBQ without this guy being there first.
	12:09pm davefromtoronto: we "met" paul maccartney in ottawa when he was on tour. he broke out of his group on the way to his gig ride to shake my son's hand. thrilling to say the least. my wife actually did an involuntary beatlemania scream when he stepped out of the elevator.
	12:09pm Ross T.: Okay I'll throw in my Covid take. Suffice to say I agree with Michael's basic assessment that there is huge amount that is not known relative to what is known. Not going into wild theories either but it seems spraying down Amazon packages and bags of Doritos wasn't necessarily helpful. BTW I am a so-called "long hauler" -- got sick just before the lock down. Like a flu but since have had rotating symptoms including fatigue and a distorted sense of smell. Mild relative to some I read about. Also know two people who got extremely ill from the vaccine as well as some who experienced little. Again, what we do not know...in the meantime I seek to do the best I can in all regards and not be arrogant in proclamations.
	♥ 12:11pm Frank In Queens: Shot out of a cannon!
	12:12pm clarke: guard the capital!!
	12:13pm phat: Did you write out that "quit" segue beforehand? Cause that was slick.
	♥ 12:13pm Greg from ZONE 5: I licked caffeine and booze and I'm currently working on nicotine, though I'm pretty sure it's impossible.
	12:13pm phat: @Dennis Diken happy belated!
	♥ 12:14pm Michael Shelley: phat - are you being sarcastic?
	12:14pm clarke: i was!
	12:14pm Robbie Darling: Howdy Micheal!
	12:15pm Dennis Diken: @Mikey, it’s most likely Hal playing on the version of “No Matter What Shape” - and the original T-Bones hit. And probably numerous other versions. He probably “covered” himself a lot!
	♥ 12:15pm Squints: Diet soda habit. I don't lick caffeine . I guzzle it. And beer when it's beer o'clock. Which doesn't come every day. My girlish figure, don'tcha know.
	♥ 12:15pm Hubig Pie: Sugar, grease, caffeine and alcohol- my only weakness
	12:16pm phat: @phat not at all. It was super slick.
	♥ 12:16pm Squints: Cars girls surfing beer.
	12:16pm Davefrom Brooklyn: Ross T, agreed, no arrogance is intended. I do implore you to watch Brandy Vaughn,Merck YouTube. It's an eye opener well worth watching.
	♥ 12:16pm Montmaster J: Can't kick my Bustelo. :(
	12:16pm Robbie Darling: Aren't Brian and Mike Love best buds?
	♥ 12:17pm Michael Shelley: in that case- thanks ! (not written out)
	12:17pm Queens L. Bow: From the NY State Dept. of Health website: "While cloth face coverings may not prevent the wearer from becoming infected, they might help slow spread from people who have the virus and are unaware." Another part of the site advises wearing masks too. So, a useful tip, right? Reading comprehension is an important skill.
	12:18pm Ross T.: My comments were not directed at you or anyone, Dave. I am open to hear any reasonable interpretation of facts.
	12:18pm phat: @Michael Shelley I love DJ tricks like that. It's an artform unto itself.
	12:18pm phat: @Michael Shelley accidentally @ed myself
	♥ 12:18pm Frank In Queens: Thank you Queens. That's exactly what I saw on the site too.
	12:19pm Queens L. Bow: And as I think we've learned since Jan. 6 & before, YouTube videos aren't always a great source of factual information. Maybe....
	12:19pm Robbie Darling: Have a great trip to D.C.? Take some good mixed tapes!
	12:20pm clarke: we gonna do MovieTime, this week? (not that i have any entries - most episodes for this guy)
	♥ 12:22pm spodiodi: i agree with Queens L. Bow. nuts to that
	♥ 12:23pm Hughie Considine: There's a heartbreaking doc on youtube about one of Gene's comeback tours in England.
	12:23pm phat: I don't take my advice about anything from someone claiming vaccinations are dangerous and cause things like autism.
	♥ 12:23pm Handy Haversack: Greg, I quit smoking four years, ten months, fifteen days ago, and it was the hardest thing I have ever done and sucked such enormous quantities of ass that I can still remember the feelings of white-hot planet-burning rage from those first few months. But it happened, and it's doable. And while I still miss it every day, it made the people who love me much, much happier. And I am better able to do many things I love. I have degraded to a pretty much takeit-or-leave-it relationship with caffeine. I'll have a cup in the morning if it appears, but I don't much care either way. Good looking out, Queen L. Bow!
	12:23pm Davefrom Brooklyn: Queens L ,the Brandy Vaughn Merck you tube post is of a talk Ms Vaughn did after she quit Merck. Before one trashes its content, it would only be fair to view it first. Otherwise, one's comprehension might be compromised
	12:24pm Bigwalky: Nicextra nice mix this show. And celebrating legal weed in jersey too
	♥ 12:25pm spodiodi: the only thing more reliable and worth of note than a YT vid is a YT Comment(er)
	12:25pm Listener Bop Monroe: i saw 'Black Judas,etc" on wednesday and "United States vs Billie Holiday' last nite. i recommend both! but is it just me or are they both the (almost exact) same story kinda?
	12:26pm phat: @Greg from ZONE 5 I smoked at least 2 packs a day for 20 some years and quit cold turkey. If I can do it, anyone can. Granted, I had to quit drinking first (which was harder for me) but I did it.
	12:26pm clarke: love jean arthur!!!
	♥ 12:27pm Jimmy Wipper: @clarke: Me too! "Jean Arthur" is also a great song by Robbie Fulks.
	♥ 12:28pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, The Flight Attendant was entertaining espionage with good acting and beautiful people doing wild things, so it ticked off a lot of TV boxes. spodi, you're bringing it this morning! Love it!
	12:28pm bobsmart567: Anne Magnuson in Flight Attendant - she’s great in it
	♥ 12:28pm myron feld: I grew to like "The Flight Attendant" after not liking it. Yes, Kaley Cuoco was really good in it. And I've never seen "The Big Bang Theory" either. Plus Ann Magnuson was in it!!
	♥ 12:28pm Greg from ZONE 5: @phat: My best friend did the exact same thing! Baby steps.
	12:28pm paul: Big Bang Theory?
	♥ 12:29pm Hubig Pie: Mooovie talk- finally got around to watching The Manchurian Candidate in it's entirety last night. Worthy of it's high praise indeed
	♥ 12:29pm Montmaster J: Mrs. Montmaster insists on Sony....what do I know?
	♥ 12:29pm dale: insignia is supposed to be pretty decent. good tuner inside if you go the antenna route too.
	12:30pm Joe B: i thought the hitsville Motown doc was great if only for giving a lot of screen time to key motown figures who are basically unknown by the general public - mickey stevenson, paul riser etc.
	12:30pm paul: I've never seen an episode of BBT, but it seems to always be on. Anytime night or day.
	♥ 12:30pm myron feld: "Flatfoot Sam" by TV Slim is without a doubt the greatest record ever cut.
	♥ 12:30pm DJ Johnny Cool: Ah, TV Slim. Flat Foot Sam is a #1 hit.
	♥ 12:30pm philosofish: Do TV repairmen still make house calls?
	12:30pm adam: Habit, check out "seconds" another great Frankenheimer flick.
	12:31pm G from Tarrytown: remember the weird round electronic ring the tv repairman would hold up in front of the screen? 1960's technology. I thought that ring was so cool as a little kid.
	12:31pm paul: Need to follow this up with Telephone Man.
	♥ 12:31pm Frank In Queens: This week was 3 early Sam Fuller scripts, "It Happened In Hollywood", "Adventure In Sahara", and "Power Of The Press", and "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (1934).
	12:31pm clarke: yes Hubig - that is a great one, but not, by any means, Frankenheimer's best film - which i consider to be All Fall Down - that's just me.
	♥ 12:32pm Handy Haversack: Greg, I took Chantix for about four months: one before quitting and then three more after quitting. I don't have a control group (that's science, Dave), so I can't say exactly what it did, but the results are there -- and the prescription was free.
	12:32pm Robbie Darling: Is the Hitsville Motown doc on WFMU rental? I'll have a looksie. Thanks for the rec Joe. B!
	♥ 12:32pm Montmaster J: Seconds is really good. Super creepy.
	♥ 12:33pm Greg from ZONE 5: Dave "Funk" Davies
	12:33pm clarke: those are 3 Fuller films i HAVEN'T (yet) seen!! love the first Man Who Knew Too Much (2nd one is not 'bad')
	♥ 12:33pm Frank In Queens: Seconds is on my list.
	12:33pm SmokinJ: I think Slim's certified electronics technician rating may be nonexistant.. ;)
	12:34pm Braczik Melski: Frankenheimer's The Train!
	♥ 12:34pm greg g: Yes!! Thee Headcoatees ! ! with the Greatest Cover of All Time!!
	♥ 12:34pm Frank In Queens: clarke, Fuller didn't direct those, he only did the scripts. They were decent, and short; each around an hour long.
	♥ 12:34pm Greg from ZONE 5: @Frank: Seconds is a great (and weird) one! Movies are on hiatus while I re-watch Ken Burns Civil War.
	12:34pm dk50b: Yes you really need to know which brand is best when buying a TV youtu.be...
	12:34pm clarke: gotcha - how did you view them??
	♥ 12:34pm Frank In Queens: Anyone watching "Searching For Italy" on CNN?
	♥ 12:35pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, on blu ray. They're probably available elsewhere though.
	12:36pm Joe B: @Robbie - I wish. No it's on showtime and apparently on prime for another few days
	12:36pm clarke: i will second Seconds being weird
	♥ 12:36pm Montmaster J: We watched the first Searching....Stanley is prickly...but the food...yeah baby!
	♥ 12:36pm Jimmy Wipper: Yes, we've been loving "Searching for Italy"! Though we have to be eating good Italian food while watching it, haha.
	12:37pm ww: FiQ- yup I am hooked on that Tucci show...
	12:37pm phat: Ann Magnuson is in The Flight Attendent?! Hmm. I may have to watch that now. I still have my teenage crush on her.
	12:38pm ww: I now feel it is necessary for me to visit Italy before I die.
	♥ 12:38pm Frank In Queens: The 2nd episode (Rome) totally blew my mind as half my family is from Rome and I've never once eaten any of those traditional pasta dishes at a family gathering! Maybe because they're simple daily dishes and more extravagant fare was made for special events?
	♥ 12:39pm Hughie Considine: Give Rick Springfield credit for using "moot" in a Top 10 hit.
	♥ 12:39pm myron feld: @phat -- Ann is in two or three episodes.
	12:39pm Robbie Darling: Thanks Joe. Hear ya soon!
	♥ 12:39pm Frank In Queens: And that side of the family is right off the boat (including my father), so it's not like we're talking typical Italian-American cooking here.
	♥ 12:40pm Hubig Pie: When does Searching for Italy air ? Me thinks I wanna watch
	12:40pm ledzeppelinsucks: My high school girlfriends dad was yelling at her one day. She was a Bruce Springsteen fan. He was yelling 'stop listening to Bruce Springfield' 'Rick Springsteen is satanic'
	♥ 12:40pm Frank In Queens: New episodes are Sunday nights at 9PM, but I think they re-air them during the week.
	12:40pm Joe B: rick springfield responsible for me accidentally realizing i actually like one sammy hagar song
	12:40pm ww: Hubig- sunday Night I think
	♥ 12:40pm efd: Thank you for addressing the ongoing Dave-eez vs. Dave-iss controversy.
	12:41pm Joe B: @lz sucks - classic!
	♥ 12:41pm Hubig Pie: Thanks thanks, ww
	♥ 12:41pm Hughie Considine: I was recently corrected by an Englishman for my pronunciation of "Python" as in Monty. It's pronounced "PIE-thin" in England, he said with some consternation.
	12:41pm ww: I learn so much absolutely worthless sh*t from WFMU, I love it.
	♥ 12:43pm efd: @Joe B. which song?
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Frank, I've been working on my cacio e pepe technique during COVID.
	12:43pm dano59: Italy is a must! The food, the art, the architecture, the streets... the women ... family-style dining and singing Bob Marley songs with a bottle of wine and kids in Rome’s Piazzas... I ordered rabbit one night.
	12:43pm Dennis Diken: @phat - thanks!
	12:44pm ww: Ooh Dano, I am down with that.
	♥ 12:44pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, I tried it with spaghetti squash last month and it didn't quite work out the way I wanted. I think the starch from the pasta is essential to that dish.
	♥ 12:44pm -Ken: Dave from Brooklyn, the NYSDOH website is recommending mask wearing. Where exactly are you seeing the language you are quoting ? There was a period of time last year, prior to the scientific acceptance of aerosolized transmission of covid, when some governmental sites were saying what you claim. But the science changed that. Still, send the link for what you are citing, please.
	12:45pm Joe B: @efd - i've done everything for you
	12:45pm DG: Speaking of Rick Springfield & unfunny sitcoms, he was on "Suddenly Susan" (not sure how many episodes) as the boyfriend (I think), but in one episode he stars w/Warren Zevon (playing himself)! Clips are on YT (one thing YT is useful for). And speaking of sitcoms, Ann Magnuson had a regular role in "Anything But Love", this workplace/romance with Jamie Lee Curtis & Richard Lewis, which I remember being pretty good...wondered what happened to Ann M., hadn't seen her in anything in a long time (am friends with a fellow member of Pulsallama, that band she was in, on Facebook).
	12:46pm ww: Now fellaz, play nice.....this could degenerate to a "thing with a hook" instantaneously!
	12:47pm Listener Bop Monroe: what, no love for Chef Boyardee?
	♥ 12:47pm Frank In Queens: I woudln't wish Chef Boyardee on an anti-masker.
	♥ 12:47pm spodiodi: haha
	12:48pm clarke: 5555555
	12:49pm Listener Bop Monroe: :-)
	♥ 12:49pm Michael 98145: Three weeks to Spring. Thank you, axial tilt.
	12:49pm Zev: So if that's not Jerry Jemmott who is it?
	12:49pm dano59: I say”Davis” and I’m not even Welsh. Per John Wesley Harding. Then again I say Derr-EE-da, per Scritti Politti, and I know that’s wrong.
	12:50pm ledzeppelinsucks: Chef Boyardee, Cream of Wheat Man, Aunt Jemima, Betty Crocker and Mr. Clean are all living to gether in the jungle in Africa. They got tired of this sick society and decided to live together in paradise.
	♥ 12:50pm Greg from ZONE 5: @Handy: Been sucking down lozenges for a while. I guess it's helping? I haven't been smoking, but the monkey is still squarely on my back.
	12:51pm gf2002: Sounds like "A Little Less Conversation"
	12:51pm P-90: Great Nina on this classic Galt McDermott tune
	♥ 12:51pm Michael 98145: The Feb 21st version of The Stork Club was a celebration of Miss Simone
	12:52pm Zev: (I've loved this version of "I got no,..." since I first heard it, and for just as long have wondered where that propulsive bass line came from.)
	♥ 12:52pm Hubig Pie: Hector Boiardi was head chef at the Plaza Hotel so's it can't be that bad, ammiright ?
	12:52pm vertual: Wonder what Nina would think of her song being used to sell vitamins now...
	♥ 12:52pm JG: Pretty much eery Saturday I am listening to this show while I am exercising
	12:52pm ww: Greg - stick with it. Give it a year or two. Proud of you, man. Toughest thing I ever did. Probably the only reason I am still alive.
	♥ 12:53pm spodiodi: thank you, Michael Shelley! thanks, Ruth! see you all
	♥ 12:53pm Hubig Pie: ..And be sure to watch " What Happened Miss Simone " on Netflix
	♥ 12:54pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the great show! Enjoy the day all.
	12:54pm Dennis Diken: Fine show, Mikey- thanks!
	♥ 12:54pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael! Have a safe drive!
	♥ 12:55pm JG: If I am finishing up my last set of exercises when Rex comes on, I am slacking and the day is slipping away. And yet I stand here typing , avoiding the weights.
	12:55pm Joe B: The Deuce worth watching because Wyldlife are in one episode!
	12:55pm Ross T.: Attaboy!
	♥ 12:55pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Greg. I think it was a solid six months before I felt like I wasn't actively monkeyed. Probably two years before I might go for a day without thinking of smoking. @Frank, yeah, that's how my Sicilian friend explained it to me. I use his "recipe"; it's a five-page e-mail to cover making a dish that has four ingredients (counting water!). You know, discursive! Shoot, I have been working on a workshop proposal, and the time has flown! Great stuff, MS! Thanks to you! And thanks to Ruth in the Booth at the Mighty WFMU! I love this station! You all are the best. Be well, friends! And cite your sources!
	12:55pm clarke: another shiny one - safe travels!!
	12:55pm ww: Thanx Michael, be aware of those NJ State Troopers!
	12:56pm CalZone!: Swell show, MS! Keep up the good work!
	12:57pm CalZone!: Howard Kaylan hates this song ;)
	12:57pm Listener Bop Monroe: lzs - yes and somehow the Colonel just keeps on going. yikes. Flo & Eddie! thnx 4 another great saturday Mr. MS. be safe all and WEAR THAT MASK! takata ta-ta!
	♥ 12:58pm juan: Thank you for another great show, Michael! And thanks Ruth in the Booth!
	12:59pm ledzeppelinsucks: Thanks for the delicious show.
	1:00pm morphe': Thanks mike... and all.. !!!!!!!!
	♥ 1:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Michael!
	1:00pm Davefrom Brooklyn: Ken, with all due respect, the difference between recommending wearing ,and any language saying that wearing one will keep you safe are 2 different things.
	♥ 1:01pm greg g: Thank you very much Mr. Shelley and everyone have a good weekend!
