Listener comments!
	3:02pm DCE: good, Jim? I'm good too! Hello Scotty.
	3:03pm βrian: Wow, what year was this Leonard?
	🧩 3:04pm I k e: Hello! I'm tuned in for the whole 2 hrs. and 59 min. but I can't comment for very long. How is every of y'allz?
	3:04pm Scott Williams: Hello all & welcome!! L Cohen, '67
	3:05pm steve: am i hearing a Jew's Harp?
	🧩 3:05pm chris: Howdy, All! Doin' awesome, Ike. You?
	3:06pm kat330: '67 -- the single best year for music ever (IMO, OC).
	3:07pm sphere: hello folks.
	3:07pm common: hey scott, everyone.
	3:08pm glenn: huh. i'd go with 1951, myself. it ALL starts with howlin' wolf.
	3:08pm sphere: glenn speaks truth.
	3:08pm kat330: Well, that's when I started at any rate, so I can't argue with that choice.
	🧩 3:09pm Rev. Turnip Druid: [struts in with an obscenely arrogant smile & wink, points fingers and PEW-PEW-PEWs all the regulars...]
	3:10pm βrian: "Cold Sweat" 1967. I guess so.
	3:11pm kat330: @RTD: Liking the new minimalistic avatar.
	3:12pm kat330: @βrian: Nothing can beat being sweet sixteen during the Summer of Love.
	🧩 3:13pm I k e: There's a best year for music? Pfft. Time is meaningless. Clocks melt in the true sunlight. Dripping water hollows out a stone. Does the water know time? No. Does this Kinski track ever get old? Does it age or die? Can you get sick of it? No! Never.
	3:15pm DCE: whatever happened to Kinski? my gosh, blast from the semi-recent past...
	3:19pm Chris from DC: Such a great live band, though I have not seen them more recently.
	3:19pm kat330: Maybe I should amend that '67 was the best year for music over the radio. No genre separation back then. Motown was followed Baez followed by the British Invasion followed by LA / SF psychedelia followed by Dylan, u.s.w.
	3:20pm Scott Williams: they signed to sub pop at some point, and focused their sound a bit away from the space rock. not sure what they're up to now
	3:21pm DCE: did you guys know the Bubble Puppy is still out there smoking sassafras?
	3:21pm Chris M.: many things will come to pass
	3:23pm kat330: @RTD: Ah, a timely notification just arrived about your Salton Sea.
	🧩 3:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Kat: as it says on the pouch (sadly not included), DESICCANT. DO NOT EAT. Words to live by. Dry sounds for dry times.
	🧩 3:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I have no idea what I'm saying. Also: Rocketh !
	3:25pm Ignatius: & rolleth
	3:27pm kat330: Philo and I watched a B-movie SF marathon of sorts over the weekend -- gotta escape the news out there somehow -- and one called Monolith Monsters involved using bombed dam waters through an old CA desert salt mine to create a saline solution to stop the silicon monsters arriving on Earth as meteorites. It was a hoot.
	3:31pm steve: that sounds great kat. ive been watching a lot of Mystery Science Theater 3000s lately for similar reasons.
	3:32pm common: @steve and kat330: just had an mystery science theater marathon this weekend. that monolith monsters flick sounds right up my alley!
	3:33pm common: a not an.
	3:35pm kat330: It was rather odd that almost every one of those we watched, including a Japan/Germany collab called "X from Outer Space" had as a subplot some triangle where two women were mooning over the same "hunk," And these were female scientists engaged in these catfights. What in the world was going on in the zeitgeist back in late '50's early '60's?
	3:38pm sphere: maybe it's the appeal of that Sadie Hawkins kind of thing (woman as pursuer).
	3:38pm kat330: Same with Lon Chaney Jr.'s "Weird Woman," the Danish film "Reptilicus" and the much later film"The Nest," but all with that same jealous women hankering for one man.
	3:39pm common: lots o strange gender stuff in the 50s, 60s. confused times.
	3:40pm kat330: @sphere: More likely fulfilling a typical male fantasy. But the funny thing is, some of these movies' female scientists were actually solving the problems and the ones to save the day. I found that encouraging.
	3:41pm Davis: i thought it was the yyt man, great track
	3:42pm sphere: If you've never read about the origins of Wonder Woman (circa 1941), it's well worth your time. Quite a bit of gender politics.
	3:45pm kat330: @common: Ooops, guess I should have announced a spoiler alert on the Monolith Monsters. :}
	3:45pm Mayuko: Hello Scott! The first set has made me somewhat sentimental for some reason, glad to make it to tune in in real time nonetheless.
	3:47pm common: @kat330: ha! no worries. i'll watch it anyway!
	🧩 3:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: CLICK.
	3:47pm Bayta: Whoa this is nice. Very nice.
	3:48pm Scott Williams: Mayuko! Nice to see you here, gettin' sentimental or otherwise. I hope you're doing great
	3:48pm steve: oh yes this is pleasing to me
	3:48pm kat330: @common: If you like miniatures, I'd recommend "X from Outer Space." Pretty damn good special effects for the time and clever miniatures.
	🧩 3:53pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Love this. So far beyond mere like-this.
	3:54pm Bayta: Agreed. Must listen to the whole album.
	3:55pm Bayta: I have a good feeling about this set.
	3:57pm common: @kat330: I am certainly gonna check that one out! love that shit!
	4:00pm P-90: Hi DJ Scott and everyone. @ kat330: May I chime in and suggest that SF genre films in the post-war years followed the prevailing dramatic fashions just like any Hollywood films, and that audiences still wanted to see "strong" female characters (as they had since the 20's)-- --and in the 50's that often appeared as a heated competition between two female characters for something they both want, most often a man. One of the most interesting examples of current dramatic styles "invading" a genre film came a little later, in Hitchcock's "The Birds." Tennessee Williams was the hottest thing then, and in the middle of the SF scenario there's a totally Williams-like Gothic-psychological battle over Rod Taylor between Tippi Hedren and Jessica Tandy (as his mother!) It's a Disaster/Horror/Sci-fi thriller with a (then) totally trendy soap opera grafted on...
	4:04pm kat330: @P-90: Thesis material there! :) It was just so surprising that every one of those B movies we watched had that exact same subplot. I had bought several sets of SF for Philo's birthday, but we watched from all different sets, so it wasn't a specific theme for a set or anything. However, we cleansed our palate by finishing up with "African Queen" -- one strong woman and one lovable goofball performance by Bogie.
	4:08pm DCE: getting pretty deep into the swamp on this one
	4:12pm P-90: @ Kat: Those were the "B" movies. The "A" Science Fiction movies of the '50s (there's just about 5 of them) were much more mature and creative about relationships and gender roles. I still think the the romance between Gene Barry and Ann Robinson in "The War of the Worlds" is one of the best examples of a "love story" being wedged into something that originally had nothing of the sort, in any Hollywood movie...
	4:12pm steve: its swampadelic
	4:18pm kat330: THAT was a great sound!
	4:19pm DCE: I hereby pledge my eternal love to Don Harper
	🧩 4:24pm Rev. Turnip Druid: !!!!!!
	4:24pm Bayta: Yup, I knew this was going to be a clicky-star filled set and that's exactly what it's been.
	4:26pm Mike East: sounds like there's a leak in the studio. make sure it doesn't get on the board
	4:27pm kat330: He's playing your song, Mike.
	4:28pm Mike East: oh, ha! didn't even see that. nice!
	4:34pm kat330: Niiice, a feminist album title.
	4:38pm kat330: Hubby's home and me gotta go now, but it's been a Laserblast. Thanks, Scott, and you engaging group of guys!
	4:39pm Scott Williams: CYA Kat! thanks for hanging round
	4:39pm βrian: I dunno. I think the German language is just a theory. (I'm no linguist, mind you.)
	4:40pm kat330: Ha -- Moog River!! :)
	4:40pm TG in Brooklyn: It's the greatest story ever mooged!
	4:43pm P-90: 'til next time, @ kat330!
	4:44pm steve: but... its not even supposed to rain?! how does this work??
	4:46pm efd: Wow, I'm not sure if I've ever come across a quad-fecta like that! I like it.
	4:47pm P-90: The regional weather radar does show a big line of storms coming across Pennsylvania and over the Great Lakes headed for NY State
	4:49pm P-90: Tri-fectas yes, I believe that's the first quad-fecta I've heard of.
	4:53pm steve: according to the weather channel, there is a 0% chance of rain in Bergen County tonight. how could there be a flash flood. how.
	4:53pm efd: thanks for the plug, Scott!
	4:55pm common: have a good eve, everyone!
	4:55pm Marc: Isn't Southern Rock just an euphemism for Country Music?
	4:55pm Scott Williams: de nada, EFD! always look forward to that show
	4:56pm P-90: Those storms on the radar ARE still a couple hundred miles away. Maybe they're having an early cocktail hour at the NWS office today...?
	5:07pm steve: hahaha good one Scott
	5:08pm steve: choke on your lies, National Weather Service
	5:11pm Davis: victory beat is great
	5:15pm Jamie Farr: Twerkin' it
	🧩 5:17pm Matt from Springfield: Twerkin' 2: Electric Boogaloo! Hey Scott and Scotians, enjoying this show today!
	5:20pm P-90: Guten TZAG, Matthias von Schprungfelter!
	🧩 5:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Good grief. Got pulled away (violently) from the headphones way back at the Chvad SB track, just now back in the womb... a womb of ACID, it would seem..!
	5:21pm Davis: rtd ha ha aha ha HA.. yes
	5:22pm P-90: Yo, Matt, are you coming to the Mr. FineWine "20,000 Soul Spins Ball" at Monty von Hall?
	🧩 5:23pm Matt from Springfield: Guten VNDR-TZAG, P-neunzig! Unfortunately it's hard to come up for Monty Hall events, although I'll prob try to come up @Marathon time!
	🧩 5:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: BECKER!
	5:26pm Cecile: hola, all.
	🧩 5:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: C!
	5:27pm Cecile: Was The Day The Earth Stood STill an A or a B SF movie? Because it's pretty great either way.
	5:27pm Cecile: rev!
	🧩 5:28pm Matt from Springfield: The Day The Earth Stood Still is about as "A" as 50s scifi movies can get, if there were 5 as described, it certainly should be one of those 5.
	5:29pm Davis: wow
	5:30pm Davis: track of the day
	5:30pm Cecile: And I tell ya, I totally would have left with Klaatu and Gort on the spaceship. For sure.
	🧩 5:32pm chris: Hey, Cecile! Jeez, where's Show of Bedlam been all my life? Must have more...
	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...late to the Show & Comments !... ...Pals' 'WarOfTheWorlds' may have stuck to H.G. Wells' story as far as the Romance - if the 70s RockOpera (which I like!) is any indication; myself, I say stick to the original Victorian - & le the Empire Metaphors fall where they may. I would say most Alien Invasions are a Variation on Wells here... ...Gotta stump for 'ForbiddenPlanet' - which was a direct bid for a high budget for a 50s SciFi - based on The Tempest, & in turn a direct template for StarTrek & its' ilk - & an interesting contrast to 'DayEarthStoodStill's austere stylistic elegance...'Day' is based on an earlier Pulp story - as many were, some better than others...
	5:35pm Cecile: hey, Chris!
	5:36pm Cecile: Forbidden Planet is pretty damn great.
	🧩 5:36pm Matt from Springfield: Hey RRN63! Who did the 70s rock opera of War of the Worlds?
	5:37pm glenn: jeff wayne.
	5:38pm Cecile: And Phil Lynott played a minister, and Justin Heyward wrote Forever Autumn which was a middling hit.
	🧩 5:39pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks glenn and Cecile! I see it also has Richard Burton and David Essex on it...
	5:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ✔ ; Mojo Mag had a good article about War & Mr. Wayne ...obligated to distinguish between Paganism & LaVey - but - not entirely !!...Compare to PeterCook in 'Bedazzled' ! : p ...
	5:40pm Cecile: yup! Burton is the narrator.
	5:40pm Cecile: now read to us from the Fountainhead, Anton.
	5:41pm glenn: "today on the ayn rand power hour".
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...obligated to distinguish between Satanism & AynRand - but - not entirely !!...
	🧩 5:42pm Matt from Springfield: "Hello, I'm Anton LaVey, High Priest of the Church of Satan. Let us begin this audio-book of Ayn Rand's: The Fountainhead. Chapter 1..."
	🧩 5:43pm Matt from Springfield: "Hello, I'm Anton LaVey, High Priest of the Church of Satan. Let us begin this audio-book of Myrtle Coswell's: Quilting Patterns for Beginners. Chapter 1..." ;)
	5:43pm Scott Williams: what you guys can't appreciate a good ol fashioned carny?
	5:43pm Davis: yes, phil lynnot went mental on it, thought his wife was satans child etc
	5:44pm steve: it's pretty surreal to hear the Satanic Bible while in line at the hardware store
	5:44pm P-90: @ Gang: yes, the '70s musical War of the Worlds is a minor classic, well worth checking out, it had a big reissue in the last few years(?) AND yes, Day the Earth Stood Still is one of the Big Five '50's SF flicks, so is Forbidden Planet.
	🧩 5:45pm Matt from Springfield: @Scott: Ha, never thought of it like "Anton's carnival tent" before!
	5:45pm Cecile: hsahahahahhaha, Scott. exactly, Davis. He has a real crazed vocal on there. You should do a mashup of him and Clare Prophet... We used to see all kinds of her flyers around Minneapolis in the 90s.
	5:46pm P-90: ...always thought there was something sinister about those quilting pattern books...
	5:47pm ccrides: Just goes to show,.. you should never let your 'id' get out of control...LOL...:)O(:..
	5:49pm Davis: oh, she is way more scary than phil's wife, who sounds quite nice singing no nathaniel no etc..... elizabeth etc is clearly satan himself
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...lotsa pentacles... ...reminded of recent PBS docs about Superheroes - & Heroines: One on WonderWoman examined the history of Women in Comics ; WonderWoman was created by a man who helped create the LieDetector! - she was stripped of her powers in the eraly 70s. SuperHeroines ususally lose their Powers or 'go wrong'...huh...
	5:50pm Cecile: superhereos get their powers stripped if they are gods or deities. Thor's lost his powers like three times.
	🧩 5:50pm Matt from Springfield: @P-90: Some have insisted those quilt patterns are nothing more than pagan German symbols carried forward by the Penns Dutch; others have accused them of being talisman for demonic human sacrifice, while others state they are about perverting organized religion with selfish objectivism...
	5:51pm Davis: show of bedlam, track of the day for me-- wild-- and i see its available on really rather far out splattery vinyl
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wull - in my youth - Thor was a straight-up metaphysical God - now he's an Alien, because it would tick off the TeaParty or something...they fudge it by saying Science & Magick are the same where he's from...'MonsterShow by DavidJ.Skal says Dracula is Magick & Franenstein is Science - always paired...
	5:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Soundtrack' excellent here, Mr. SW...btw...
	5:54pm P-90: I gotta say: "Nightmare" by Don Harper is my "track of the day"- -thanks DJ Scott, for turning me onto him, a real discovery.
	5:55pm Davis: cool show indeed
	🧩 5:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'BLOOD!
	5:57pm Scott Williams: hey thanks y'all, glad you've been enjoying. see you next week!
	5:57pm ccrides: I bet a lot of guyz would like to meet a Super Heroine who is a virgin and closet submissive with an over protective father???...hehehe...:)O(:...
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...MarvelComics owned by Disney now, yerknow...being a counterpart to 60sPsychedelia like it was - maybe not so much...
	🧩 5:58pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks Scott! Great show, many Stars!! Have a good evening everyone!
	5:58pm P-90: @ ccrides: Been there, done that.
	5:59pm ccrides: Thanks Scott...stay cool..!..:)O(:..
	🧩 5:59pm chris: thanks, senor Scott! outtasight show, ya dig?
	6:01pm drewo: Marvel characters are spread around 3 movie companies - Disney, Sony & 20th Century Fox. So on screen get togethers might be difficult for some our favorite costumed heroes. Great show Scott!
	6:01pm Cecile: satan is boring
	6:17am Bas NL: Great show Scott!
	11:28am 118664: Really liked the Chvad SB. Thanks!

	4:00pm P-90: Hi DJ Scott and everyone. @ kat330: May I chime in and suggest that SF genre films in the post-war years followed the prevailing dramatic fashions just like any Hollywood films, and that audiences still wanted to see "strong" female characters (as they had since the 20's)-- --and in the 50's that often appeared as a heated competition between two female characters for something they both want, most often a man. One of the most interesting examples of current dramatic styles "invading" a genre film came a little later, in Hitchcock's "The Birds." Tennessee Williams was the hottest thing then, and in the middle of the SF scenario there's a totally Williams-like Gothic-psychological battle over Rod Taylor between Tippi Hedren and Jessica Tandy (as his mother!) It's a Disaster/Horror/Sci-fi thriller with a (then) totally trendy soap opera grafted on...
	4:04pm kat330: @P-90: Thesis material there! :) It was just so surprising that every one of those B movies we watched had that exact same subplot. I had bought several sets of SF for Philo's birthday, but we watched from all different sets, so it wasn't a specific theme for a set or anything. However, we cleansed our palate by finishing up with "African Queen" -- one strong woman and one lovable goofball performance by Bogie.
	4:08pm DCE: getting pretty deep into the swamp on this one
	4:12pm P-90: @ Kat: Those were the "B" movies. The "A" Science Fiction movies of the '50s (there's just about 5 of them) were much more mature and creative about relationships and gender roles. I still think the the romance between Gene Barry and Ann Robinson in "The War of the Worlds" is one of the best examples of a "love story" being wedged into something that originally had nothing of the sort, in any Hollywood movie...
	4:12pm steve: its swampadelic
	4:18pm kat330: THAT was a great sound!
	4:19pm DCE: I hereby pledge my eternal love to Don Harper
	🧩 4:24pm Rev. Turnip Druid: !!!!!!
	4:24pm Bayta: Yup, I knew this was going to be a clicky-star filled set and that's exactly what it's been.
	4:26pm Mike East: sounds like there's a leak in the studio. make sure it doesn't get on the board
	4:27pm kat330: He's playing your song, Mike.
	4:28pm Mike East: oh, ha! didn't even see that. nice!
	4:34pm kat330: Niiice, a feminist album title.
	4:38pm kat330: Hubby's home and me gotta go now, but it's been a Laserblast. Thanks, Scott, and you engaging group of guys!
	4:39pm Scott Williams: CYA Kat! thanks for hanging round
	4:39pm βrian: I dunno. I think the German language is just a theory. (I'm no linguist, mind you.)
	4:40pm kat330: Ha -- Moog River!! :)
	4:40pm TG in Brooklyn: It's the greatest story ever mooged!
	4:43pm P-90: 'til next time, @ kat330!
	4:44pm steve: but... its not even supposed to rain?! how does this work??
	4:46pm efd: Wow, I'm not sure if I've ever come across a quad-fecta like that! I like it.
	4:47pm P-90: The regional weather radar does show a big line of storms coming across Pennsylvania and over the Great Lakes headed for NY State
	4:49pm P-90: Tri-fectas yes, I believe that's the first quad-fecta I've heard of.
	4:53pm steve: according to the weather channel, there is a 0% chance of rain in Bergen County tonight. how could there be a flash flood. how.
	4:53pm efd: thanks for the plug, Scott!
	4:55pm common: have a good eve, everyone!
	4:55pm Marc: Isn't Southern Rock just an euphemism for Country Music?
	4:55pm Scott Williams: de nada, EFD! always look forward to that show
	4:56pm P-90: Those storms on the radar ARE still a couple hundred miles away. Maybe they're having an early cocktail hour at the NWS office today...?
	5:07pm steve: hahaha good one Scott
	5:08pm steve: choke on your lies, National Weather Service
	5:11pm Davis: victory beat is great
	5:15pm Jamie Farr: Twerkin' it
	🧩 5:17pm Matt from Springfield: Twerkin' 2: Electric Boogaloo! Hey Scott and Scotians, enjoying this show today!
	5:20pm P-90: Guten TZAG, Matthias von Schprungfelter!
	🧩 5:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Good grief. Got pulled away (violently) from the headphones way back at the Chvad SB track, just now back in the womb... a womb of ACID, it would seem..!
	5:21pm Davis: rtd ha ha aha ha HA.. yes
	5:22pm P-90: Yo, Matt, are you coming to the Mr. FineWine "20,000 Soul Spins Ball" at Monty von Hall?
	🧩 5:23pm Matt from Springfield: Guten VNDR-TZAG, P-neunzig! Unfortunately it's hard to come up for Monty Hall events, although I'll prob try to come up @Marathon time!
	🧩 5:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: BECKER!
	5:26pm Cecile: hola, all.
	🧩 5:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: C!
	5:27pm Cecile: Was The Day The Earth Stood STill an A or a B SF movie? Because it's pretty great either way.
	5:27pm Cecile: rev!
	🧩 5:28pm Matt from Springfield: The Day The Earth Stood Still is about as "A" as 50s scifi movies can get, if there were 5 as described, it certainly should be one of those 5.
	5:29pm Davis: wow
	5:30pm Davis: track of the day
	5:30pm Cecile: And I tell ya, I totally would have left with Klaatu and Gort on the spaceship. For sure.
	🧩 5:32pm chris: Hey, Cecile! Jeez, where's Show of Bedlam been all my life? Must have more...
	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...late to the Show & Comments !... ...Pals' 'WarOfTheWorlds' may have stuck to H.G. Wells' story as far as the Romance - if the 70s RockOpera (which I like!) is any indication; myself, I say stick to the original Victorian - & le the Empire Metaphors fall where they may. I would say most Alien Invasions are a Variation on Wells here... ...Gotta stump for 'ForbiddenPlanet' - which was a direct bid for a high budget for a 50s SciFi - based on The Tempest, & in turn a direct template for StarTrek & its' ilk - & an interesting contrast to 'DayEarthStoodStill's austere stylistic elegance...'Day' is based on an earlier Pulp story - as many were, some better than others...
	5:35pm Cecile: hey, Chris!
	5:36pm Cecile: Forbidden Planet is pretty damn great.
	🧩 5:36pm Matt from Springfield: Hey RRN63! Who did the 70s rock opera of War of the Worlds?
	5:37pm glenn: jeff wayne.
	5:38pm Cecile: And Phil Lynott played a minister, and Justin Heyward wrote Forever Autumn which was a middling hit.
	🧩 5:39pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks glenn and Cecile! I see it also has Richard Burton and David Essex on it...
	5:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ✔ ; Mojo Mag had a good article about War & Mr. Wayne ...obligated to distinguish between Paganism & LaVey - but - not entirely !!...Compare to PeterCook in 'Bedazzled' ! : p ...
	5:40pm Cecile: yup! Burton is the narrator.
	5:40pm Cecile: now read to us from the Fountainhead, Anton.
	5:41pm glenn: "today on the ayn rand power hour".
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...obligated to distinguish between Satanism & AynRand - but - not entirely !!...
	🧩 5:42pm Matt from Springfield: "Hello, I'm Anton LaVey, High Priest of the Church of Satan. Let us begin this audio-book of Ayn Rand's: The Fountainhead. Chapter 1..."
	🧩 5:43pm Matt from Springfield: "Hello, I'm Anton LaVey, High Priest of the Church of Satan. Let us begin this audio-book of Myrtle Coswell's: Quilting Patterns for Beginners. Chapter 1..." ;)
	5:43pm Scott Williams: what you guys can't appreciate a good ol fashioned carny?
	5:43pm Davis: yes, phil lynnot went mental on it, thought his wife was satans child etc
	5:44pm steve: it's pretty surreal to hear the Satanic Bible while in line at the hardware store
	5:44pm P-90: @ Gang: yes, the '70s musical War of the Worlds is a minor classic, well worth checking out, it had a big reissue in the last few years(?) AND yes, Day the Earth Stood Still is one of the Big Five '50's SF flicks, so is Forbidden Planet.
	🧩 5:45pm Matt from Springfield: @Scott: Ha, never thought of it like "Anton's carnival tent" before!
	5:45pm Cecile: hsahahahahhaha, Scott. exactly, Davis. He has a real crazed vocal on there. You should do a mashup of him and Clare Prophet... We used to see all kinds of her flyers around Minneapolis in the 90s.
	5:46pm P-90: ...always thought there was something sinister about those quilting pattern books...
	5:47pm ccrides: Just goes to show,.. you should never let your 'id' get out of control...LOL...:)O(:..
	5:49pm Davis: oh, she is way more scary than phil's wife, who sounds quite nice singing no nathaniel no etc..... elizabeth etc is clearly satan himself
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...lotsa pentacles... ...reminded of recent PBS docs about Superheroes - & Heroines: One on WonderWoman examined the history of Women in Comics ; WonderWoman was created by a man who helped create the LieDetector! - she was stripped of her powers in the eraly 70s. SuperHeroines ususally lose their Powers or 'go wrong'...huh...
	5:50pm Cecile: superhereos get their powers stripped if they are gods or deities. Thor's lost his powers like three times.
	🧩 5:50pm Matt from Springfield: @P-90: Some have insisted those quilt patterns are nothing more than pagan German symbols carried forward by the Penns Dutch; others have accused them of being talisman for demonic human sacrifice, while others state they are about perverting organized religion with selfish objectivism...
	5:51pm Davis: show of bedlam, track of the day for me-- wild-- and i see its available on really rather far out splattery vinyl
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wull - in my youth - Thor was a straight-up metaphysical God - now he's an Alien, because it would tick off the TeaParty or something...they fudge it by saying Science & Magick are the same where he's from...'MonsterShow by DavidJ.Skal says Dracula is Magick & Franenstein is Science - always paired...
	5:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Soundtrack' excellent here, Mr. SW...btw...
	5:54pm P-90: I gotta say: "Nightmare" by Don Harper is my "track of the day"- -thanks DJ Scott, for turning me onto him, a real discovery.
	5:55pm Davis: cool show indeed
	🧩 5:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'BLOOD!
	5:57pm Scott Williams: hey thanks y'all, glad you've been enjoying. see you next week!
	5:57pm ccrides: I bet a lot of guyz would like to meet a Super Heroine who is a virgin and closet submissive with an over protective father???...hehehe...:)O(:...
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...MarvelComics owned by Disney now, yerknow...being a counterpart to 60sPsychedelia like it was - maybe not so much...
	🧩 5:58pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks Scott! Great show, many Stars!! Have a good evening everyone!
	5:58pm P-90: @ ccrides: Been there, done that.
	5:59pm ccrides: Thanks Scott...stay cool..!..:)O(:..
	🧩 5:59pm chris: thanks, senor Scott! outtasight show, ya dig?
	6:01pm drewo: Marvel characters are spread around 3 movie companies - Disney, Sony & 20th Century Fox. So on screen get togethers might be difficult for some our favorite costumed heroes. Great show Scott!
	6:01pm Cecile: satan is boring
	6:17am Bas NL: Great show Scott!
	11:28am 118664: Really liked the Chvad SB. Thanks!
