Billy Jam:
TIME is the topic of today (and everyday of our lives when u think about it)……..If I could control time, and time travel I would go back a few years and spend one more quality day with my dad…….then I would go back and visit others dear to my heart who have passed on…..BUt then I would start time traveling to meet all my other heroes…..like zap back to 1981 to meet up with Bambaataa or 73 to meet up with Kool Herc (both previous guests - recent era - on this show) |

![]() Time waits for no one. Yay, Billy Jam! |

id go back to undo a few wrongs i done in the past and all the things i did right i would do them righter :) | |

![]() I'd go back and give my younger self more real confidence instead of false bravado and arrogance. |
![]() |
Fri. 7/31/15 3:16pm
Billy Jam:
so with TIME being the topic O day - I ask you A: does time run faster now for you than few years ago? Do you value time more now? If you could time travel where/when would you go? |
![]() |
Fri. 7/31/15 3:17pm
Billy Jam:
OH yeah I'd go back to when I first started out in radio in early 80's when the FCC wasmnt so damn restrictive…..no curses edits needed in 1984 |
![]() |
![]() yes it does. yes I do. Australia 1975 or Ann Arbor 1987 |
![]() |
![]() A song about the year I was born! Yay!!! |
![]() |
![]() i def value time more now that i did last year or back even further. and it does seem to move a bit faster all the time. going back in time to spend more time with my pa would be awesome. i spend a lot of time these days trying to run toward what i value, rather than running away from what scares me, as i did in my youth |
![]() |
![]() A. Yes time goes too fast these days. I feel like last week I was 18 but that was three years ago and now I'm an old maid. B: Yes I value time more now because I don't have much youth left. C: No question, I would visit the 60s and possibly stay there forever. I just wasn't made for these times, man. *takes bong hit* |
Fri. 7/31/15 3:21pm
loop skywalker:
Man,time actually is going way faster now im old.Id love time to stand still right now because my son is getting too close to that horrible time when he may fly the nest (he is 15 but university is only 3 years away) i do everything i do now to spend as much time as i can with him as he is my absolute number 1..so yeah,,,a time freezing machine for me please Billy Jam . | |
![]() |
![]() Bronwyn, I didn't listen when people told me that when I was 21, but you really are still young. And a wise old DJ bud told me, "the era you are in is the era you're in." |

Billy Jam:
@ Loop -yeah right? - like summers rush by if u don't stop and embrace em…..we just passed the halfway mark in this show's summer series…..TIME……I love ya but u pass so fast…TIME |
![]() |
![]() Thanks Cecile. I feel old because us women are generally told we're at our most attractive when we're 17-19. I still felt like a child then. And in a lot of ways I'm glad I'm around now and not then, because back in my beloved 60s I probably would have ended up a housewife. I still romanticize them, though. |
Fri. 7/31/15 3:24pm
Benny in BK:
I sure value more time now than when I was a kid.....I value life so much I sleep less....will do that when I'm dead LOL | |

![]() Disabuse yourself of that notion. remember the old line :pretty is as pretty does. It's corny but true. |
Fri. 7/31/15 3:26pm

Good advice for anyone, Chris (your last line of your last comment) | |

loop skywalker:
No,not welsh Bronwyn...but definitly a rare name outside of wales. | |
![]() |
![]() Yeah no one around here ever knows how to pronounce it. It's really popular in Australia though. Fun fact: I have the same first AND last name as the Australian speaker of the house and thus I always get tweets from angry Australians. |
![]() |
![]() When I was down there, I knew three Antheas. |

Fri. 7/31/15 3:37pm
Cheri Pi:
Is that her name? It's nice hearing her calm, steady voice in between songs on the Spin concert LPs. |
![]() |
![]() Bronwyn - i'd like to report from the future that, if you're super motivated and do what you want with your life, you never get old. (pretty happy guy in his 30s who teaches kids your age) |
![]() |
![]() it might be. it's her or another person whose name I don't remember |

![]() I'm 54 and going back to school. |

Yo Billy Jam and all, still getting used to this new time for this show. Coincidence:(or not) i've been thinking about time a lot lately and how it passes in our lives. So this show is right "on time" for me personally. | |

If I could go back in time I'd go back to a month before each major power move by Mark Zuckerberg and I would create "BassBook" - a free (really free and non intrusive) social media network for BASS heads……and hip-hop fans |

someone recently (I think at WFMU - maybe Irene Trudel) was telling me about how she saw Patti Smith at a speaking event and someone asked her if she could change anything in her life what would it be - expecting it to be something about her creative output…But she said - and it is good advice - the most important thing is to take care of your teeth |
Fri. 7/31/15 3:43pm
loop skywalker:
what are you going to Study Cecile? | |
![]() |
![]() graphic design Billy, I have to say that's good advice. I have good solid teeth, but had one root canal. I can't imagine people who have multiple ones, and gingivitis and other stuff...and it costs a fortune! |

![]() I actually only have a couple of classes to finish up a certificate. |

if i could change something in my life it would be not waste time worrying over silly shit that didnt matter or never happened.....being too cautious and over thinking every single step and (sometimes) ignoring my gut feelings on decisions in life | |

ADA:
I'm back! I've been listening from my phone on 3G on my walk to get the best damn tacos ever. sounds good! checking in here, heavy topic... time moves faster now. I wish I had more time with my sister who left our physical realm in 2008 at the tender age of 13. I feel her presence more than ever though, but to have more time with her - I wish I did, to show her more about music especially. |
![]() |
![]() I'm so sad to hear that ADA. |
Fri. 7/31/15 3:50pm

@ ADA sorry for you loss - it is so tough when someone leaves us early on.......am dealing with that still | |

just the other day I had one of those moments where a really funny thing happened to me that my (late great) father would have gotten a big laugh out of…..and absentmindedly I forget he was dead and was about to hit him up on the phone…….Guess that was in back of my mind - along with all these new TIME songs - for today's show theme |

@ Chris - me too……its funny listening to certain era records now - like big rock records - and you hear how incredibly well they are produced ----- I like it but I also like rough rugged and raw recordings that leave in the mistakes in the studio - ones that in time become non-mistakes and part of a unique piece of art |

great mix ADA - thanks for creating this for WFMU - we appreciate it mane~ >>>>> So the plan for tonight is that I record the set at Elbo Room by The Genie (the "scratch guitar" pioneer that was live performance guest on this show before) - maybe some other acts sets too…..And upcoming next week - with curation assistance from SF emcee/activist Dregs One am planning a live cypher session with (tentatively) Telli Prego, Richie Cunning, and Lightbulb along with Dregs plus (maybe) his buddy DJ Yelir from Children of the Funk laying down some wicked beats down. In this scenario I would record (that way I can edit out curses before airplay) - only six weeks left in this 3 hour series |

![]() Time keeps going slower the older I get, because I keep getting better at savoring what isn't coming back, and ignoring the bad. So I guess I value time more, but in a different way, it's no longer a resource, just opportunities. If I could time travel, I'd go to the future, because the one thing I'd like to witness is equality (especially gender equality). We've made progress, but we're still so far I'm not going to see that day without a time machine |
