WFMU: Honky Tonk Radio Girl with Becky: Playlist from September 25, 2019

Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 8:05pm ultradamno: Hi everyone. If anyone missed it, this week's Vocal Fry was all Blue Yodels all the time
	8:06pm JakeGould: Woo! Give me a Peach Mint cocktail.
	🎸 ♥ 8:08pm ultradamno: I'm going to restrain myself to one omission complaint about the Burns show because I know there's a lot of stuff and only so much time, but how they go through a Shel Silverstein chunk bounced off a Johnny Cash live prison recording and not at least name check the earlier 25 Minutes To Go (one of my top 3 to 5 Cash performances ever)... www.poemhunter.com...
	♥ 8:13pm Tommy in Neversink: J Cash at Folsom was the first album I owned. Bought it 1969. I payed it everyday for like a year. It's imprinted on my brain
	🎸 ♥ 8:18pm Cmurtha: Howdy everyone
	♥ 8:18pm Tommy in Neversink: Loretta Lynn is a force of nature...I'd say she is the preeminent female country artist .
	♥ 8:20pm Dave in Vermont: anyone know if this Linda Ronstadt doc is supposed to be any good? Saw the trailer and it looks like it might be pretty good.
	♥ 8:21pm Dave in Vermont: btw, excited for not only a 2 hour Becky show, but also a collaboration with Becky and Matt
	8:23pm yippie: o me o my
	♥ 8:24pm chresti: Howdee honky tonky Girl!
	8:26pm JakeGould: Is this pre-recorded? I guess so without a playlist.
	🎸 ♥ 8:28pm ultradamno: So tonight's show is the big Garth Brooks show, so I'm expecting a lot of talk of the misunderstood genius of the Chris Gaines period and the merits of microphone headsets.
	8:30pm The Butterman: The Hank Williams piece in the Burns doc had me in tears.
	🎸 ♥ 8:31pm ultradamno: The reviews for the Ronstadt doc are mostly positive. The promotional materials seem to really put the boy scout outfit front and center.
	8:33pm JakeGould: So tonight’s show is about Garth Brooks? That don’t im-press me much.
	🎸 ♥ 8:35pm ultradamno: Cash may have played What Is Truth (rather than the requested Welfare Cadillac) but did he get high on the roof?
	♥ 8:36pm Tommy in Neversink: It is said that Jimmy Rogers is the father of country music but I consider Hank the father. Because most country sounds like it's rooted in the Hank sound
	8:38pm JakeGould: “Johnny Cash, singer of country songs, has told the White House that he does not want to sing the controversial ballad “Welfare Cadilac” at a social on April 17.” www.nytimes.com...
	♥ 8:38pm Tommy in Neversink: I just learned that Alabama is like the top selling country group....who knew
	♥ 8:39pm Tommy in Neversink: Nixon had Cash there as part of the GOP southern strategy
	🎸 ♥ 8:40pm ultradamno: It's a pretty crazy rude thing to request a major artist to just play something not by them that you heard on the radio and supports your agenda. How has Trump not done it.
	🎸 ♥ 8:41pm ultradamno: ...that I'm aware of.
	♥ 8:41pm Tommy in Neversink: Why not Paris Texas?
	♥ 8:42pm Tommy in Neversink: Trump probably doesn't listen to music
	🎸 ♥ 8:44pm ultradamno: I guess Nixon didn't want Guy Drake because that was about all he ever did. Penn Gillette once said he never saw Trump show any enjoyment or appreciation for music, not hard to believe.
	8:46pm tak: try not to hold it against him
	♥ 8:50pm Tommy in Neversink: I believe Nixon also wanted Cash to do Okie from Miscogie to promote his war agenda and promote the idea that if you thought it was wrong to be forced to go to Nam and get killed or maimed for no good reason you weren't patriotic. God, I hate that song
	🎸 ♥ 8:52pm ultradamno: Merle's account in the show of how it was written (basically half a goof) almost makes it worse
	♥ 8:52pm Tommy in Neversink: Dwight Yoakam's voice is like maple suryp to me ....I love it
	♥ 8:54pm Tommy in Neversink: I dont' know if it was a goof but Merle surly didn't mind pretending it wasn't. He clearly stood behind it
	🎸 ♥ 8:55pm ultradamno: Yeah, it's a very cynical song.
	♥ 8:56pm Tommy in Neversink: But Haggard is generally a great guy
	🎸 ♥ 8:56pm ultradamno: Basically, they saw some sign going into the town and started riffing like "this is what these people are like"...
	9:00pm Daybreak and the Weekend Memories: Enjoy the low places!
	5:30pm Fafnir: Anyone know where the playlist for this is? I’m looking for a western sounding waltz played behind the Dj. Thanks
