	3:01pm John from Florham park: Hello fellow boom boom listeners trying to keep my mind off of what is going on with the world

	♥ 3:04pm Cmurtha: Hello everyone!
	3:04pm Jonny Wulf: TGIF everyone. Also excited for today's show!
	3:04pm Jocelyn: I love this! I watched this movie last night.
	♥ 3:05pm βrian: La vie en rose, here we are.
	3:05pm John from Florham park: @Rick G amen to that
	♥ 3:05pm Handy Haversack: We're off to a heavy start. Also: leaving Lawrenceville is always a good idea.
	♥ 3:06pm tim from champaign (now washington): I need to re-watch Valley of the Dolls. At this point Beyond the Valley of the Dolls has pushed out any memories of Valley of the Dolls. Z-Man for Prez 2020!
	♥ 3:06pm Stanley: Hi Handy. Heard you on the radio this morning. Sounding good.
	♥ 3:07pm steveo: Good afternoon! Wonderful to be listening!
	3:07pm John from Florham park: @Handy howdy listening to my favorite 3 hours of the week
	♥ 3:08pm βrian: Rickie Lee, Rickie Lee, I say unto thee ...
	3:08pm Rob Kopp: Hey, this is a different second song than on August 31, 2018. So it isn't an exact copy of that other show?
	♥ 3:09pm Handy Haversack: Hiya, Stanley and John! Thanks, Stanley. It was quite a shock while innocently making my lunch. I hear that, John! Though a lot of societal bitter with the musical sweet today. But we are Sophisticated Boom-Boomers and can take it with clear eyes and full hearts!
	3:11pm djsheilab: Welcome music lovers! This is "Women Under the Influence" with a fresh coat of paint!
	3:11pm John from Florham park: @Handy going to enjoy this show today, 3 hours of news free doom and gloom
	♥ 3:14pm Guido from Cologne: Is it about Sid Vicious?
	3:16pm zivilars: when you hear the first seconds of guitar and immediately know: this is a great song
	♥ 3:16pm Guido from Cologne: No, in this case the Slits song is about Keith Levene (from PiL)! "Viv Albertine said in her 2014 book ‘Clothes, Clothes, Clothes, Music, Music, Music, Boys, Boys, Boys’ that this song was based around a few lines she wrote about Keith Levene’s drug habit, and was repurposed as a round, as the band “remembered doing in school”."
	3:16pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and fellow sophisticates. Breathing deep and going under.
	3:16pm mattV: Checking in from Paris. Good evening everyone
	♥ 3:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Sheila and influential sophisticates!
	♥ 3:17pm mrdonutsu: What ever happened to Elastica?
	3:17pm Jett: I miss my friend Arianna Up. Loved the Slits and The New Age Steppers. How are you today @djsheilab?❤️
	3:18pm Richard S: Hello! Happy Friday!
	♥ 3:20pm Handy Haversack: Oof.
	3:20pm John from Florham park: Live this version of sister morphine sheliab
	3:20pm Jett: A great Marianne Faithfull classic! Excellent choice, Sheila. Played one for you the other day on my show!
	♥ 3:20pm The Oscar: Afternoon! Coincidentally just watched Sophia Coppola's MARIE ANTOINETTE for the first time, and was delighted to realize the title character's mother was played by Marianne Faithfull!
	3:21pm Richard S: Who's ready for THE MARATHON??? (I,. for one, do NOT want to see that photo behind the black bar....)
	3:21pm P-90: Got a friend who is tight with Marianne, recorded and toured with her, etc. Lots of unrepeatable stories...
	3:21pm William Main: Someone should set to music this poem Victim by Thomn Gunn. Yes, it's about Nancy Spungen. Oh dead punk lady with the knack Of looking fierce in pins and black, The suburbs wouldn’t want you back. You wished upon a shooting star And trusted in your wish as far As he was famous and bizarre. The band broke up, its gesture made. And though the music stopped, you stayed. Now it was the sharp things he played: Needles and you, not with the band, Till something greater than you planned Opened erect within his hand. You smiled. He pushed it through your shirt Deep in your belly, where it hurt. You turned, and ate the carpet’s dirt. And then not understanding why He watched out with a heavy eye The several hours you took to die. The news was full of his fresh fame. He OD’d ending up the same. Poor girl, poor girl, what was your name?
	3:22pm djsheilab: Hey friends! I may be a bit more quiet on the comments board than usual in preparation for my mic breaks :)
	3:23pm John from Florham park: @Sheliab do what you got to do
	3:23pm Jett: It's okay Sheila, your audience still loves you. I like both versions of Sister Morphine by Marianne.
	3:23pm JJ: Totally unacceptable. Sounds perfect.
	3:27pm zivilars: damn, i love this go go's song - so catchy
	3:27pm P-90: Ha, also had friends in the Go-Go’s camp. Lots more unrepeatable stories...
	3:28pm MG: On a roll!! Hate Your Drug - so good. So important. Thanks, Sheila :)
	3:29pm Dave Spice: Hi all. I'm late to the party tonight and it looks like I've missed a great opening strand.
	♥ 3:29pm Andrew_in_WI: Kinda forgot about Elastica.... I had such a crush on Justine 25 years ago
	♥ 3:29pm sydnius: St. Etienne: making my Friday. Thx Sheila B!
	3:30pm zivilars: p-90 – not cool teasing us like that ... :) maybe you can anonymize those stories about "Marianne Fullfaith" and "The Do- Do's" or so ...
	3:30pm zivilars: would love to to hear them
	3:30pm morphe': Sister Morphine makes me think of Nico??? Mother morphine feeding her wee child ... some of us were crazy folk but that is beyond the pale?? Who am I too judge DOC:NicoIcon - well worth a view... The most accurate review said "it is 2 hours long and at the end ye still know nothing" - a true enigma was she(Yoda said that).
	♥ 3:31pm EG_Astro: it was an amazing showww
	♥ 3:32pm Handy Haversack: Preach it, Sheila B. Truth to power.
	♥ 3:33pm listener james from westwood: In since the get-go, and here for the theme. And hear, hear for the shittiness of the drug war and shaming folks.
	♥ 3:33pm Andrew_in_WI: I've listened to that show a number of times in the last year
	♥ 3:34pm βrian: And once they're in prison, they lose the right to vote.
	3:34pm Richard S: Nice to see all the record, radio, and heart icons on the Comments Board, btw! We're all part of the WFMU Extended Family!!
	3:35pm JJ: I poke a lil smot myself.
	3:35pm John from Florham park: @Whelia I agree with you but with that thing in the White House not gonna happen anytime soon
	3:35pm John from Florham park: I mean sheliab sorry for the misspelling
	3:36pm wendy del formaggio: Tell it, Sheila B! Solidarity!
	3:36pm JakeGould: Thanks for this Sheila!
	3:36pm Scott: I seem to recall, back in the 60s or 70s, Timothy Leary testifying before Congress that drug abuse is a medical problem, not a legal one. Imagine the suffering that would have been avoided if people had listened to him. It's only taken about 50 years to come around to what he was saying. Even now we're not really there.
	3:37pm sufferwords: been there- male but been there- LA 80’s-90’s strung- 2000’s not an opiate - junky years made me the upstanding fellow I am today - perspective
	3:37pm morphe': The William Burroughs Drug War prediction in Drugstore Cowboy is so prescient: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZszbqdOq7g
	3:37pm johnzo: go full Portugal!!!
	♥ 3:37pm Travisano66: I have compassion for the troubled part of people, but no compassion for the part that supports an industry that kills.
	3:38pm sufferwords: Ha Keith Levine on the LA scene too-
	3:39pm Sally: Great idea for a show. This hits home because I know a lot of people who've had heroin addictions...some died, some got clean. I tend to think of heroin in a different category than other drugs, because of how many people I know who've died due to heroin ODs. I didn't realize heroin is often laced with other drugs. Thanks for the enlightenment.
	3:39pm ?: Absolutely no desire to get high.... drugs are drugs. Maybe next week.
	3:39pm Russt44: S, missed the first 2...damn. Great commentary.
	3:40pm Sally: Hallucinogens aren't addictive as far as I understand, although maybe psychological rather than physical?
	♥ 3:42pm EG_Astro: thanks for makin' a show about harm reduction Shelia.
	3:42pm 12 cc: You go girl with condemning the war on drugs! I did cocaine for 10 years and I DO NOT recommend it. Weed does me fine now.
	3:43pm ZeeBee: Hey Sheila and listener friends ! Sheila, thank you so much for all you do and for this amazing show, it is truly moving and important and inspiring.
	3:43pm John from Florham park: To all people in the accu board there is a movie about Billie holiday called lady sings the blues
	3:44pm JakeGould: @Sally: There are psychological addictions and physical addictions. Sometimes a combo of both.
	3:44pm Russt44: And there is the elephant in the room..the race issue.
	♥ 3:45pm porchy: thank you so much for this show Sheila
	♥ 3:45pm caver_mike: I have been fighting against the drug war for over 20 years. I am a member of the Drug Policy Alliance and the Marijuana Policy Project. If people want to help, these organizations are out there. Part of the problem is the idea that the government should take care of people. For many, punishing other people for their substance use is, in fact, "taking care of them". So, think about this the next time you wish that the government would take care of people's problems. The definition of "taking care" is whatever the government says it is.
	♥ 3:45pm Handy Haversack: Living in poverty is treated as a crime that often carries the death penalty here in the land of opportunity, and being a woman, being an artist, being a person of color -- these are all additional reasons to punish as far as the system is concerned. My dad did drugs with Billie Holiday. Gave her all his pot when he was drafted for WWII. His drug lecture to me was: "Don't smoke too much pot. All my friends died from heroin."
	3:46pm morphe': NPR - Great Story - cop did an intervention rather than an arrest - he and the person he helped now do pottery together: https://www.npr.org/2020/02/08/802318886/police-offering-drug-recovery-help-we-can-t-arrest-our-way-out-of-this-problem
	♥ 3:48pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	♥ 3:48pm Handy Haversack: Hiya, Phillippe! Nothing super heavy going on around here!
	3:48pm Jett: One of Stevie's better ones!
	3:49pm JakeGould: FWIW, if you ever see someone who’s homeless and drinking or smoking up or anything else, realize that living on the streets is hard. And drugs are sometimes the only relief someone who is homeless can get.
	3:49pm djsheilab: JakeGould—YES!
	3:49pm John from Florham park: @Jett love this song by Stevie
	♥ 3:49pm ParUbi: @morphe'-- what a cool story! we need more of that. treating people like people
	3:51pm John from Florham park: @Parubi howdy really heavy show today
	♥ 3:51pm Phillippe Bastille: @Handy looking through the comments, I'd agree ;). As a recovering alcoholic, I really appreciate the intent of the show.
	3:51pm morphe': Strange fruit = ROOTS= - written by a NYC BRONX HS SCHOOL TEACHER.. https://www.npr.org/2012/09/05/158933012/the-strange-story-of-the-man-behind-strange-fruit
	♥ 3:52pm Andrew_in_WI: Courtney Love covered that song...
	♥ 3:52pm Stanley: Of my friends who died early, I'd say for nearly all of them it was due to alcohol.
	3:52pm 12 cc: Strange Fruit always brings tear to my eye. The best that I heard was a DJ several years ago who played it back-to-back with a cut from the SNCC Freedom Singers. What strikes me as sad these days is that many listeners probably don't know what SNCC was and how historic the organization was.
	♥ 3:53pm porchy: i encourage everyone on this board to read the book Sheila referenced "Chasing the Scream" - its captivating, informative and heartbreaking
	3:53pm John from Florham park: @Phillippe will thus show be too heavy for you
	3:54pm sufferwords: anyone that has friends that partake needs to have Narcan available- especially in the phentanyl era
	3:55pm JakeGould: @Stanley: The crazy thing about the war on drugs? Alcohol is actually more damaging to the body than marijuana. So when you hear folks say that pot can cause irreparable brain damage, they are the same folks who look at teens going blackout drunk and just say, “They’re just being teens!” Alcohol is the worst, moist commonly available drug anyone can buy anywhere. But that is a tangent I don’t want to go on.
	♥ 3:55pm porchy: @sufferwords - YES - its harder to get in NJ than it should be but hopefully this governor will fix that - some states its free
	♥ 3:57pm listener james from westwood: The police-industrial complex in NJ has been a barrier to cannabis.
	♥ 3:57pm Phillippe Bastille: @John Not at all. Life is so much better.
	♥ 3:57pm EG_Astro: shelia, in case you run over (or outta time) you could always do a part II. : )
	3:58pm Nicole: @SheilaB I am constantly amazed by the programming you bring to this station. Always loving it!
	♥ 3:58pm porchy: the whitney houston documentary was also heartbreaking
	3:58pm Jonny Wulf: Whitney <3
	3:58pm Jocelyn: Hi Phillippe! Hope everything is well
	3:59pm Emily: Yr making me cry here for Whitney
	3:59pm Jett: Might be my favorite Whitney Houston track, her version is better than the original.
	3:59pm morphe': There is a waiting list for rehab in NYC????????????? People asking for help get put off for weeks or months... and if they also need housing... disaster
	4:00pm John from Florham park: @EGA I second that @PB gotcha
	♥ 4:01pm Stanley: @JakeGould. You are absolutely right. Alcohol and loneliness is a terrible combo and so common. Most teens get through the excess years but for some it's a start of a trajectory.
	♥ 4:02pm Phillippe Bastille: Well hey there, Jocelyn! Everything is copacetic here, how about you?
	4:03pm JakeGould: @morphe': I have no idea on specifics, but NYCs efforts to help the homeless and drug affected are really superficial at best. The city is more focused on pushing the homeless away when private efforts to count the homeless happen and pushing “Meatless Mondays” and campaigns against “Sugary Drinks” than dealing with real issues.
	♥ 4:03pm Handy Haversack: And Buckfast doesn't help, eh, @Stanley?
	4:04pm William Main: This song is featured in Nathan West's novel Day of the Locust.
	4:04pm Jett: I like this one better than the Stuff Smith version! "You'se A Viper"
	4:04pm Jocelyn: Philippe, all good here!
	♥ 4:06pm EG_Astro: @JakeG Yeah. and that extends to the MTA and the price hikes, bail reform and "public safety" and it goes on. ooooooo NYC
	♥ 4:06pm EG_Astro: also this song is excellent.
	4:07pm Peter A: Rehab is so brilliant and tragic at the same time.
	4:07pm John from Florham park: Amy winehouse what a tragedy that was
	♥ 4:09pm Matt Fiveash: Great show Sheila. I'm struck by how if you were to take away the overarching theme of this show, and take away your commentary, we're left with a pretty good overview of great twentieth century popular music. Which speaks to the fact that the history of humanity is also the history of intoxication, and often the history of the kinds of trauma that underlie all that stuff- the trauma that we collectively, particularly in American society, pretend isn't there (as the woman in the clip you played from the horizons conference touched on). Hope that makes sense? Also: Etta James fuck yeah!
	♥ 4:10pm diciassette: "Il faut être toujours ivre" - Chulls B.
	4:11pm Micheal: Amy was a rare talent. She just didn’t make it through, a tragic shame. Tony Bennett said in her doc - “Life teaches you how to live if you live long enough.” Thank you, Sheila.
	4:12pm Jett: Amy Winehouse was so amazing, it's very sad to lose someone so brilliant because of addiction.
	♥ 4:12pm βrian: Une autre espèce d'ivresse, il voulait dire.
	4:12pm John from Florham park: This show is depressing and great at the same time
	♥ 4:13pm βrian: @JFP: Kinda like booze?
	♥ 4:13pm Handy Haversack: @Matt, math checks out.
	4:14pm John from Florham park: @Brian yes
	4:14pm sufferwords: check the doc The Pharmacist- Sackler family = 400,000 opioid deaths
	4:15pm Fox: Thank you so much for this message, Sheila!!! I would add to the damage of the war on drugs the thousands of people who have died because those around them were too afraid to call 911. I lost my true love to that circumstance.
	♥ 4:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Alcohol: The cause of, and the solution to, all of life's problems. youtu.be...
	♥ 4:19pm Handy Haversack: You and Homer said a mouthful, Ken.
	♥ 4:19pm Lixiviated Life: another setting sun
	4:19pm Emily: Love you, Sheila! Keep preachin!
	♥ 4:20pm βrian: Speaking of cirrhosis, auto-tune!
	4:21pm Nate K.: This is a such a deft, thoughtful blending of music and issue-based real talk. Drug use/addiction should be guided by science not the law. That pretty much sums it up.
	4:21pm djsheilab: Fox—Thank you! And for reminding me of this vital issue which I will talk about.
	4:22pm Jett: Not a drug user. I did do some drugs when I was younger. I am very compassionate about this subject. Not sure just how safe marijuana really is, I know I killed lot's of brain cells in my lifetime.
	♥ 4:22pm porchy: this show is the epitome of why getting music from well thought out people on radio as opposed to analytics and streaming services is so important
	♥ 4:22pm Ike: Bizarre fun fact: Sia loves Survivor so much (yes, the reality show on CBS, the gold standard of trashy reality TV competition shows) that she gives some of the losing contestants a bunch of money every season.
	4:23pm Christine: Great theme and even greater commentary. I think this is the first time I’ve ever appreciated a DJ yapping on this station. Big love to you.
	4:23pm Dave In Leicester: Naomi Klein’s Shock Doctrine tells the unbelievable story of how US driven shock economics in Bolivia in the 80s led to farmers turning to increased coca production, creating a surge in cocaine flooding into the US
	4:23pm P-90: Most excellent mic break.
	♥ 4:23pm βrian: Oh, WFMU has some lovely yappers.
	♥ 4:24pm Guido from Cologne: "White Rabbit": musically inspired by listening to Miles Davis' "Sketches Of Spain" on acid and pointing to morphine-related childrens books, most namely Lewis Carrol's classic.
	4:25pm bridgettendaisy: There’s a really unique video/ song release “white Christmas: cocaine and ketamine” by media artist Srkn8 on his Instagram/ YouTube . Worth checking out if you’re a drug compassionate/ curious person. Doesn’t glorify or villanize use but as you said addresses drug use as a reality that those of us surrounded by art and artists deal with in our own way everyday. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qxwqzDf1oUo
	4:25pm Jocelyn: Fox, I’ve known about six people who died in that circumstance. Calling for help should be decriminalized everywhere.
	4:26pm John from Florham park: @Sheliab I know neil young is a man but one of his early songs is a great one called the needle and the damage done
	♥ 4:27pm steveo: Good show & I appreciate your common-sense take. WFMU is my current drug of choice.
	4:27pm djsheilab: Thank you for such a wealth of beautiful, insightful comments, dear listeners!
	4:28pm Listener Robert: This is a worthy subject and a worthy cause, Ms. B.
	♥ 4:29pm Handy Haversack: Oh, wow, this song. Yeah.
	4:29pm watchpocket: Hello Sheila. I'm guessing you are aware of MAPS -- the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies -- but if not, here you go: https://maps.org/ Meanwhile thank you for doing this show and raising awareness about this issue. Also, If you've never heard Terence McKenna's raps, you'll likely want to look him up.
	4:30pm KevinfromBayRidge: The obvious needs to be stated occasionally. Thank you Ms Burgel.
	♥ 4:31pm Handy Haversack: They all moved to Seattle or LA.
	4:31pm Listener Robert: I presented at at least one conference of the DPA's predecessor, the Drug Reform Coalition, back in the 20th Century.
	4:31pm Georgie B: Awesome show!!! I love the theme! It is so relevant to what is happening now!!! I ❤️ WFMU!!!
	♥ 4:31pm Guido from Cologne: Is there a meaning behind "Jingle Jangle Morning" that is beyond me?
	4:31pm Listener Robert: Watchpocket, Ms. B. mentioned MAPS a few minutes ago.
	4:31pm Jocelyn: Mary Lou!
	♥ 4:32pm EG_Astro: yahhh was wondering when we were gonna hear some chavela!
	♥ 4:33pm Handy Haversack: It had been far too long since I last heard Mary Lou Lord.
	4:33pm Dave Spice: @John from Florham Park - Neil Young has said that song was inspired by Bert Jansch's song Needle of Death from his eponymous 1965 LP.
	4:33pm John from Florham park: @Dave spice thanks
	4:34pm brainiac: After listening again to 'Doll Parts,' I have to ask: Did Courtney Love secretly write most of Nirvana's material?
	♥ 4:34pm βrian: Please ask the sommelier for something that goes with despondency.
	♥ 4:35pm tim from champaign (now washington): Sheila introduced me to Chavela Vargas. This is so good.
	4:35pm Jett: Didn't know Chavela Vargas had drug issues, I know she was an alcoholic, but never heard she was involved with drugs.
	4:35pm watchpocket: @Listener Robert Thanks, good to know. (I'm doing errands around the house & missed bits of the mic breaks..) For anyone unfamiliar with Terence McKenna's talks and books, he was brilliant and worth checking out.
	4:35pm JakeGould: @GuidoFromCologne: It’s a wee bit of a riff on the Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazelwood line: “Some velvet morning when I'm straight…”
	4:36pm Listener Robert: I'm wondering -- anybody here familiar with one OD victim I knew, Linda Twigg? I don't know how much overlap there'd be between her crowd and WFMU listeners, but I'd think many.
	♥ 4:36pm Handy Haversack: @βrian: we have nepenthe, but perhaps you would prefer lethe?
	4:36pm Patrick in Hoboken: This is a great selection Sheila, some familiar artists and some new ones to me.
	♥ 4:36pm tim from champaign (now washington): Man, Burt Jansch's Needle of Death devastates me. I can't think of a song more empathetic yet damning.
	4:37pm Rob Kopp: What a great song by Gillian Welch
	4:38pm Jett: Great one! @Tim
	4:39pm Dave In Leicester: It seems at times that access to drugs has risen alongside a punitive approach to their use as a cautionary tale to those who lack the “moral strength” to avoid them
	4:41pm morphe': Thanks for spinning Sh - B and thanks all.. no coinincidence that my tag is morphe'
	♥ 4:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Speaking of Linda, I'll be listener Linda Lee would have some insight. She's mentioned this subject matter a couple of times.
	4:41pm Jett: Hopefully we'll hear something from La Lupe today, she had some bad drug issues.
	4:41pm Fox: Thinking about it, Sheila, i find that people with holier-than-thou, absolutist attitudes about drugs tend to have the privilege and blandness of coming from a stable homelife. Drugs are a natural response to trauma and chaos and pain, as well as curiosity and adventurousness.
	4:42pm Dave Spice: @Tim from Champaign - SheilaB could get the song into the show - there's a cover by US born, UK based singer Julie Felix
	♥ 4:42pm tim from champaign (now washington): Meanwhile, that dickhead wanna-be football coach of a vice preseident is in charge of handling the coronavirus outbreak in the US. The same moron who refused to sign off on needle exchanges in his state in order to prevent a spike in HIV and ODs.
	4:42pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Great show today! I couldn’t agree more re drugs.
	♥ 4:43pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Dave - I'm not familiar with her. I'll check it out. There's also a version by To La Tengo with Georgia singing.
	4:45pm White Michael: I bought a bunch of Fent strips and mailed them to folks in xmas cards. About $2 each. bunkpolice.com...
	4:45pm Dave Spice: @Tim - I'd forgotten about Yo La Tengo's version. Good call.
	♥ 4:45pm Ike: The New Yorker article about these drug laws is really intense. I'll find a link in several minutes if I can....
	♥ 4:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: @tim - Race Bannon could barely handle Jonny Quest and Hadji.
	4:46pm Stillwell Coney Islander: I support StreetNursesInBlueJeans - public health RNs who provide safe administration of drugs to homeless addicts - Canadian Public Health Association Vancouver Ca thanks for this timely program
	4:46pm John from Florham park: As long as this current administration is in the White House not gonna happen
	♥ 4:47pm steveo: @guido "jingle jangle morning" is a dylan quote from "mr. tambourine man", which many think is about drugs. i think maybe in mary lou lord's song, she's saying that maybe love can take their place and get her out of her jingle jangle morning. (or maybe i'm just grasping at straws)
	4:48pm Rob Kopp: Listened to both covers of Needle of death by Julie Felix and Yo La Tengo. Thanks Dave and Tim for bringing them to my attention.
	4:48pm ?: the people that died of bad booze in prohibition died from booze spiked by the GOVERNMENT.
	♥ 4:48pm tim from champaign (now washington): Exactly, Ken - hahaha!
	4:48pm Zephyr: When a person (such as a radio dj) uses their access to the public to try to help people when they don’t have to they should be applauded so I applaud you.
	♥ 4:50pm steveo: @sheila mary lou lord says "And my dance with Mr. Brownstone got too rough" which is heroin, as far as i know
	♥ 4:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: ("White Rabbit" is currently missing from the playlist, Sheila.)
	4:52pm JakeGould: Drunk raccoons: www.washingtonpost.com...
	4:52pm JakeGould: “Turns out they appear to be drunk on crab apples,” police said in their official statement to the community.
	♥ 4:52pm Andrew_in_WI: Growing up we had a bush in our front yard... the birds wouldn't touch them until they were nice and fermented
	4:53pm Jett: @djsheilab Ooh, I want to see what Alvy looks like. Please post on IG.

	4:53pm TheGeorgeFix: We met way back when at Claire & Lex's wedding; I can't tell you how glad I am to hear this show. I've given out several copies of Chasing the Scream and I'm so glad you're using this platform to help show people a different way to view addiction and drug use. I think you're doing an amazing job; thanks for all you're doing.
	4:54pm brainiac: *White Rabbit, that is
	4:54pm Karen: I’m out running errands and I was wondering what wonderful show I had tuned into. Then I realized it was Friday between 3 and 6. Lovely show, as always. Wonderful messages! Thank you so much!
	♥ 4:54pm iiibeat: I saw my goldfish smoking a doobie just last week. I'm glad it wasn't shooting-up, honestly.
	♥ 4:54pm Guido from Cologne: Esther Phillips became addicted in her "child prodigy" years.
	4:54pm listener james from westwood: Hot damn, this Phillips song.
	4:54pm Russt44: "Little" Esther Phillips! Great LA singer.
	4:55pm Katherine: Sheila! This is so important. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Fentanyl killed my boyfriend last year. Wfmu has been a constant support for me, but you've gone above and beyond. This is the work of harm reduction. And I do hope those who don't understand pay attention!! Those laws which hold individuals who give others drugs criminally responsible are so upsetting, since using together is in fact encouraged as harm reduction, and cops are guaranteed keepers of overdose reversal kits. The message that we want to make life safer for users and that we must treat them with respect is crucial. And talk to those in your communities, schools or places of work about holding narcan training and keeping life saving drugs on hand. And the playlist is well curated to boot. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
	4:55pm Jett: @Zephyr In this particular case, I fully agree with you.
	4:55pm P-90: Good news. (I’ve volunteered myself as an OOPP Trainer in Harlem, one of the best things ever.) https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/four-students-save-lives-with-the-help-of-columbia-universitys-naloxone-training-program/ar-BB10rkHw
	♥ 4:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: @braniac - I refreshed my browser (Firefox 73.0.1 on Windows10) and it's there now. It wasn't there before the refresh ... weird. I thought I was hallucinating.
	4:56pm Fox: There's a theory that the Egyptian civilization began, the earliest (?) example of agriculture, based on their desire for beer. Its why they so deified wheat. It was not only food, but drink, especially because the water was not safe.
	♥ 4:57pm βrian: @Fox: And don't forget about the ergot in the grains.
	♥ 4:57pm Ike: Here it is. Important New Yorker article about "overdose-homicide" cases: www.newyorker.com...

	5:00pm djsheilab: Katherine—Thank you!!! I hope it's okay with you if I share what you've written during my next mic break.
	5:01pm brainiac: "I Feel For You" is one of my all time favorite Prince tunes. Don't remember hearing that version of the rap at the beginning, though
	5:02pm brainiac: Perhaps due to my drug-addled brain
	5:02pm Jett: Chaka outdid herself on this version of the Prince track. Great!
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm gratified if the phrase Harm Reduction gets some currency.
	5:04pm listener james from westwood: I thought this was Nick the Bard!
	5:04pm Bruce Francis Simpson: @? : When the manufacture and sale of alcohol was illegal between 1920 and 1933, regulatory agencies encouraged measures making industrial alcohol undrinkable, including the addition of lethal chemicals. The government did not poison supplies of alcohol meant for human consumption, nor did it intentionally aim to kill those who drank the tainted products.
	♥ 5:05pm Handy Haversack: In America you have to go through a yuppie tech shaman and hang out with a bunch of 1 percenters all night to get ayahuasca.
	5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Talk about Toxic.
	5:06pm Jett: Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, and RC-Cola can be pretty addictive.
	5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Coke' s ultimate predecessor was a cocaine infused wine. Terence McKenna suggested no drug has had the scope of or malevolent consequences of Sugar. Slavery had ended before it...
	5:10pm JakeGould: @Fox: I always question those “We drank beer/vodka…” tales in the context of water not being clean. The reason being is nobody could just drink that much alcohol regularly without some serious health issues. For example the Soviet tales of soldiers just endlessly drinking vodka during war because of the lack of water. The evidence I have read explains that many distilleries just filtered water as part of their process. And as such they would provide cleaned water to people who wanted it. Sometimes in the same bottles they bottled booze in. Thus the urban legend of Soviet troops during World War II “surviving” on just vodka instead of water. Whatever they drank was in a bottle that looked like vodka, but it was mostly water.
	5:11pm JakeGould: Also, opiate addiction in the U.S. can be directly traced back to the Civil War. It was used extensively in battle.
	♥ 5:11pm iiibeat: Sugar is THE gateway drug. No joke.
	5:11pm Bruce Francis Simpson: Had a probation captain in my hometown that had a tank of Coke syrup under his desk that he sampled between appointments.
	5:12pm Keith from Oregon: Dusty has the greatest voice! I LOVE her voice!
	5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ....cause vodka goes with everything...
	♥ 5:12pm iiibeat: Addictive drives are established asap. The DRIVE of addiction . . At 4.

	♥ 5:16pm Handy Haversack: You're doing absolutely awesome, Sheila B! On the side of the angels.
	5:16pm Fox: A friend told me that evidently there are kits you can buy on Amazon to test your drugs.
	♥ 5:18pm Handy Haversack: @Fox, even without knowing the price, I am going to say that that sounds like a solution only for the very comfortable -- and who don't worry about letting Amazon know that they want that product.
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 Katherine Fentanyl - opiate deliberately manufactured - promoted - & distributed - by Big Pharma & the Doctors. 50 Xs as strong as Heroin. It took Prince & Tom Petty just trying to work.
	5:19pm johnzo: damn that’s crazy
	5:19pm Jett: May I say that it becomes very obvious that this issue is something that comes very close to your heart. I realize that you always put your heart into all your shows. I think your message is coming through loud and clear and I'm so proud of you. This is great!

	5:27pm Dave In Leicester: My favourite Lemonheads
	5:28pm chalmers: Sheila B., making the world a better place every Friday.
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I've had one long term relationship in my life. She became a meth addict - & ended up in the same West Coast rehab where Jerry Garcia died. Sometimes it's a strange small world. Supportinng the addict but not the addiction is no simple matter. I certainly had none of the tools whatsoever.
	5:30pm Rob Kopp: I hope you're not alone at the moment
	♥ 5:30pm Smilty69: Thank you for sharing your story, Sheila.
	5:31pm ignatatus666: No need to make these drugs legal. Heroin addiction helped to blow up AIDS. One of my Uncles didn’t get clean from dope until he so debilitated from AIDS and got a one way ticket to a hospital. Not many years after a very close friend was diagnosed with AIDS also from abusing Heroin. Currently I am doing outreach with a friend who is homeless in Brooklyn. She was missing over 3 years. He has both crack and heroin addictions She prostitutes to stay high. She is also not able to be recognized.
	5:31pm Squinchy: This show is very cool, and sad. Thank you for sharing your story, Sheila.
	5:31pm ignatatus666: She*
	♥ 5:32pm porchy: Ignatatus - listen back to Sheila's monologues. its exactly the circumstances you are talking about that she/we are hoping to change. give the book "chasing the scream" a read - please
	5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Surely the attitudes & actions towards AIDS were parallel to the Drug War.
	5:34pm JakeGould: Hey Sheila! Tons of respect for you and to you. Also, judges suburban kids really should get smacked upside the head. I mean I don’t know if you forgave them but still…
	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & ever notice economics & the price tag are the dead end value of every conversation about anything...
	5:35pm JakeGould: @ignatatus666: Lack of needle exchange and such is what helped AIDS blow up. Just look at the history of Drumf’s second in command who caused an HIV epidemic in Indiana in 2011.
	5:36pm John from Florham park: I so miss karen carpenter what a amazing talent
	♥ 5:36pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: This has been a really touching show, Sheila. Thank you for putting it together.
	♥ 5:36pm EG_Astro: ....and the reagan administration ?
	5:37pm zivilars: the clarity of karen carpenters voices never ceases to amaze me
	5:37pm Dave Spice: @JakeGould - well said and absolutely correct.
	5:38pm ignatatus666: The man who just spoke doesn’t go home with these people to say there is no downward spiral etc . The Majority of those addicted set over well in publication home is where we see the monster.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reagan.
	♥ 5:38pm Michael 98145: i wuz here, just away from the typewriter
	♥ 5:39pm porchy: Ignatatus many of us on this message board live with addiction in our lives in many ways
	♥ 5:39pm Stanley: Thank you Sheila for this show and highlighting such an important subject, something we can all relate to or have experience with one way or another. Through compassion and understanding we will overcome.
	♥ 5:40pm Theolonius: I've been running errands & catching this show in pieces as I streamed it. Looking forward to hearing it in its entirety over the weekend. I'm almost at a loss for words for the level of compassion and sincerity Sophisticated Boom Boom exhibits. This is more than just a music station. WFMU is the way radio should be!!! Thank you Sheila B! Thank you! <3 <3 <3
	♥ 5:40pm Handy Haversack: Just a quick note that IN ADDITION to the crucial work of care and advocacy, Sheila, the music is, like every single wonderful week, still swingin' and singin' and making marvels real. So -- you know, thanks. As always.
	♥ 5:41pm Michael 98145: what Theolonius just said
	5:41pm Dave Spice: A brilliant and inspiring show, SheilaB. A beacon of humanity in an increasingly hostile world.
	5:42pm Hello?: Ignatatus - maybe your're not the right person to do "outreach'? Get off your 'high' horse
	5:43pm evan: hell yeah great show!!! solidarity
	♥ 5:44pm Michael 98145: We will be paying for the Reagan regime for a very, very long time
	5:44pm Craig: Love you Sheila, My Son is addicted to Heroine and Meth. I.v use, been trying to help him for five years
	5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Find the Psychedelic Salon podcast rewarding btw. This show not just compassionate - but well-informed & articulate. Impressive.
	5:45pm Sally: What do people think of NA and Nar-Anon? Are they helpful?
	5:45pm JakeGould: @ignatatus666: I think you might have interesting info to share if you just toned it down. Sheila has like 18 minutes, please. “The man who just spoke doesn’t go home with these people to say there is no downward spiral etc” Yadda, yada… Give it a rest. Drug use and unsafe drug use are two different things.
	5:45pm P-90: Ipecac is an emetic (induces vomiting), sometimes abused by bulimics.
	♥ 5:46pm Rob from colonia: Sheila...you are creating epic radio...the future will need this archived ..really
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No wish to trivialize Ignatius' experiences.
	♥ 5:46pm porchy: Ignatatus - if you read chasing the scream i will read any book on the topic of addiction that you recommend - promise - then we can discuss
	♥ 5:47pm McGroovey: Excellent show, SheilaB. Thank you.
	5:48pm Jett: Another outstanding show. As always, your heart and soul come through. I think you've handled this subject so brilliantly and made your point very clear. Thanks and once again, I'm so proud of you! ❤️
	5:49pm ignatatus666: @HakeGould go away with your stalking me. You already got me banned from another program. I’m asking you nicely to not interact with me.
	5:49pm JakeGould: FWIW, as much as I overshare at times in life and even on these comments I choose not to share some if the extremely dark drug and disease stuff that has happened in my direct family. So yes, a very close family member of mine died of AIDS. Do I wish to share the details to prove something to someone like “ignatatus666?” Utterly no. Boundaries, limits, and respect.
	5:50pm JakeGould: @ignatatus666: I am not stalking you. I am aware of your behavior. “You already got me banned from another program.” I did no such thing. If I happened to be on that board at the time, don’t blame me.
	♥ 5:51pm Bucksomcounty: Thank you Sistah for your passion and attention to this issue. Another contributing factor to addiction is the gamut of poorly-addressed mental health problems. Fabulous show!
	5:51pm ignatatus666: @Hello I’m 33 years clean and sober Please do not be prejudiced towards the outreach I do. Helping others helps me to grow in sobriety and helps me to reach more people.
	5:52pm P-90: Dinah Washington: divine
	5:52pm ignatatus666: Jake Enough Leave me alone
	5:53pm djsheilab: Fellas! Behave :)

	♥ 3:04pm Cmurtha: Hello everyone!
	3:04pm Jonny Wulf: TGIF everyone. Also excited for today's show!
	3:04pm Jocelyn: I love this! I watched this movie last night.
	♥ 3:05pm βrian: La vie en rose, here we are.
	3:05pm John from Florham park: @Rick G amen to that
	♥ 3:05pm Handy Haversack: We're off to a heavy start. Also: leaving Lawrenceville is always a good idea.
	♥ 3:06pm tim from champaign (now washington): I need to re-watch Valley of the Dolls. At this point Beyond the Valley of the Dolls has pushed out any memories of Valley of the Dolls. Z-Man for Prez 2020!
	♥ 3:06pm Stanley: Hi Handy. Heard you on the radio this morning. Sounding good.
	♥ 3:07pm steveo: Good afternoon! Wonderful to be listening!
	3:07pm John from Florham park: @Handy howdy listening to my favorite 3 hours of the week
	♥ 3:08pm βrian: Rickie Lee, Rickie Lee, I say unto thee ...
	3:08pm Rob Kopp: Hey, this is a different second song than on August 31, 2018. So it isn't an exact copy of that other show?
	♥ 3:09pm Handy Haversack: Hiya, Stanley and John! Thanks, Stanley. It was quite a shock while innocently making my lunch. I hear that, John! Though a lot of societal bitter with the musical sweet today. But we are Sophisticated Boom-Boomers and can take it with clear eyes and full hearts!
	3:11pm djsheilab: Welcome music lovers! This is "Women Under the Influence" with a fresh coat of paint!
	3:11pm John from Florham park: @Handy going to enjoy this show today, 3 hours of news free doom and gloom
	♥ 3:14pm Guido from Cologne: Is it about Sid Vicious?
	3:16pm zivilars: when you hear the first seconds of guitar and immediately know: this is a great song
	♥ 3:16pm Guido from Cologne: No, in this case the Slits song is about Keith Levene (from PiL)! "Viv Albertine said in her 2014 book ‘Clothes, Clothes, Clothes, Music, Music, Music, Boys, Boys, Boys’ that this song was based around a few lines she wrote about Keith Levene’s drug habit, and was repurposed as a round, as the band “remembered doing in school”."
	3:16pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and fellow sophisticates. Breathing deep and going under.

	♥ 3:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Sheila and influential sophisticates!
	♥ 3:17pm mrdonutsu: What ever happened to Elastica?
	3:17pm Jett: I miss my friend Arianna Up. Loved the Slits and The New Age Steppers. How are you today @djsheilab?❤️
	3:18pm Richard S: Hello! Happy Friday!
	♥ 3:20pm Handy Haversack: Oof.
	3:20pm John from Florham park: Live this version of sister morphine sheliab
	3:20pm Jett: A great Marianne Faithfull classic! Excellent choice, Sheila. Played one for you the other day on my show!
	♥ 3:20pm The Oscar: Afternoon! Coincidentally just watched Sophia Coppola's MARIE ANTOINETTE for the first time, and was delighted to realize the title character's mother was played by Marianne Faithfull!
	3:21pm Richard S: Who's ready for THE MARATHON??? (I,. for one, do NOT want to see that photo behind the black bar....)
	3:21pm P-90: Got a friend who is tight with Marianne, recorded and toured with her, etc. Lots of unrepeatable stories...
	3:21pm William Main: Someone should set to music this poem Victim by Thomn Gunn. Yes, it's about Nancy Spungen. Oh dead punk lady with the knack Of looking fierce in pins and black, The suburbs wouldn’t want you back. You wished upon a shooting star And trusted in your wish as far As he was famous and bizarre. The band broke up, its gesture made. And though the music stopped, you stayed. Now it was the sharp things he played: Needles and you, not with the band, Till something greater than you planned Opened erect within his hand. You smiled. He pushed it through your shirt Deep in your belly, where it hurt. You turned, and ate the carpet’s dirt. And then not understanding why He watched out with a heavy eye The several hours you took to die. The news was full of his fresh fame. He OD’d ending up the same. Poor girl, poor girl, what was your name?
	3:22pm djsheilab: Hey friends! I may be a bit more quiet on the comments board than usual in preparation for my mic breaks :)
	3:23pm John from Florham park: @Sheliab do what you got to do
	3:23pm Jett: It's okay Sheila, your audience still loves you. I like both versions of Sister Morphine by Marianne.
	3:23pm JJ: Totally unacceptable. Sounds perfect.
	3:27pm zivilars: damn, i love this go go's song - so catchy
	3:27pm P-90: Ha, also had friends in the Go-Go’s camp. Lots more unrepeatable stories...
	3:28pm MG: On a roll!! Hate Your Drug - so good. So important. Thanks, Sheila :)
	3:29pm Dave Spice: Hi all. I'm late to the party tonight and it looks like I've missed a great opening strand.
	♥ 3:29pm Andrew_in_WI: Kinda forgot about Elastica.... I had such a crush on Justine 25 years ago
	♥ 3:29pm sydnius: St. Etienne: making my Friday. Thx Sheila B!
	3:30pm zivilars: p-90 – not cool teasing us like that ... :) maybe you can anonymize those stories about "Marianne Fullfaith" and "The Do- Do's" or so ...
	3:30pm zivilars: would love to to hear them
	3:30pm morphe': Sister Morphine makes me think of Nico??? Mother morphine feeding her wee child ... some of us were crazy folk but that is beyond the pale?? Who am I too judge DOC:NicoIcon - well worth a view... The most accurate review said "it is 2 hours long and at the end ye still know nothing" - a true enigma was she(Yoda said that).
	♥ 3:31pm EG_Astro: it was an amazing showww
	♥ 3:32pm Handy Haversack: Preach it, Sheila B. Truth to power.
	♥ 3:33pm listener james from westwood: In since the get-go, and here for the theme. And hear, hear for the shittiness of the drug war and shaming folks.
	♥ 3:33pm Andrew_in_WI: I've listened to that show a number of times in the last year
	♥ 3:34pm βrian: And once they're in prison, they lose the right to vote.
	3:34pm Richard S: Nice to see all the record, radio, and heart icons on the Comments Board, btw! We're all part of the WFMU Extended Family!!
	3:35pm JJ: I poke a lil smot myself.
	3:35pm John from Florham park: @Whelia I agree with you but with that thing in the White House not gonna happen anytime soon
	3:35pm John from Florham park: I mean sheliab sorry for the misspelling
	3:36pm wendy del formaggio: Tell it, Sheila B! Solidarity!
	3:36pm JakeGould: Thanks for this Sheila!
	3:36pm Scott: I seem to recall, back in the 60s or 70s, Timothy Leary testifying before Congress that drug abuse is a medical problem, not a legal one. Imagine the suffering that would have been avoided if people had listened to him. It's only taken about 50 years to come around to what he was saying. Even now we're not really there.
	3:37pm sufferwords: been there- male but been there- LA 80’s-90’s strung- 2000’s not an opiate - junky years made me the upstanding fellow I am today - perspective
	3:37pm morphe': The William Burroughs Drug War prediction in Drugstore Cowboy is so prescient: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZszbqdOq7g
	3:37pm johnzo: go full Portugal!!!
	♥ 3:37pm Travisano66: I have compassion for the troubled part of people, but no compassion for the part that supports an industry that kills.
	3:38pm sufferwords: Ha Keith Levine on the LA scene too-
	3:39pm Sally: Great idea for a show. This hits home because I know a lot of people who've had heroin addictions...some died, some got clean. I tend to think of heroin in a different category than other drugs, because of how many people I know who've died due to heroin ODs. I didn't realize heroin is often laced with other drugs. Thanks for the enlightenment.
	3:39pm ?: Absolutely no desire to get high.... drugs are drugs. Maybe next week.
	3:39pm Russt44: S, missed the first 2...damn. Great commentary.
	3:40pm Sally: Hallucinogens aren't addictive as far as I understand, although maybe psychological rather than physical?
	♥ 3:42pm EG_Astro: thanks for makin' a show about harm reduction Shelia.
	3:42pm 12 cc: You go girl with condemning the war on drugs! I did cocaine for 10 years and I DO NOT recommend it. Weed does me fine now.
	3:43pm ZeeBee: Hey Sheila and listener friends ! Sheila, thank you so much for all you do and for this amazing show, it is truly moving and important and inspiring.
	3:43pm John from Florham park: To all people in the accu board there is a movie about Billie holiday called lady sings the blues
	3:44pm JakeGould: @Sally: There are psychological addictions and physical addictions. Sometimes a combo of both.
	3:44pm Russt44: And there is the elephant in the room..the race issue.
	♥ 3:45pm porchy: thank you so much for this show Sheila
	♥ 3:45pm caver_mike: I have been fighting against the drug war for over 20 years. I am a member of the Drug Policy Alliance and the Marijuana Policy Project. If people want to help, these organizations are out there. Part of the problem is the idea that the government should take care of people. For many, punishing other people for their substance use is, in fact, "taking care of them". So, think about this the next time you wish that the government would take care of people's problems. The definition of "taking care" is whatever the government says it is.
	♥ 3:45pm Handy Haversack: Living in poverty is treated as a crime that often carries the death penalty here in the land of opportunity, and being a woman, being an artist, being a person of color -- these are all additional reasons to punish as far as the system is concerned. My dad did drugs with Billie Holiday. Gave her all his pot when he was drafted for WWII. His drug lecture to me was: "Don't smoke too much pot. All my friends died from heroin."
	3:46pm morphe': NPR - Great Story - cop did an intervention rather than an arrest - he and the person he helped now do pottery together: https://www.npr.org/2020/02/08/802318886/police-offering-drug-recovery-help-we-can-t-arrest-our-way-out-of-this-problem
	♥ 3:48pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	♥ 3:48pm Handy Haversack: Hiya, Phillippe! Nothing super heavy going on around here!
	3:48pm Jett: One of Stevie's better ones!
	3:49pm JakeGould: FWIW, if you ever see someone who’s homeless and drinking or smoking up or anything else, realize that living on the streets is hard. And drugs are sometimes the only relief someone who is homeless can get.
	3:49pm djsheilab: JakeGould—YES!
	3:49pm John from Florham park: @Jett love this song by Stevie
	♥ 3:49pm ParUbi: @morphe'-- what a cool story! we need more of that. treating people like people
	3:51pm John from Florham park: @Parubi howdy really heavy show today
	♥ 3:51pm Phillippe Bastille: @Handy looking through the comments, I'd agree ;). As a recovering alcoholic, I really appreciate the intent of the show.
	3:51pm morphe': Strange fruit = ROOTS= - written by a NYC BRONX HS SCHOOL TEACHER.. https://www.npr.org/2012/09/05/158933012/the-strange-story-of-the-man-behind-strange-fruit
	♥ 3:52pm Andrew_in_WI: Courtney Love covered that song...
	♥ 3:52pm Stanley: Of my friends who died early, I'd say for nearly all of them it was due to alcohol.
	3:52pm 12 cc: Strange Fruit always brings tear to my eye. The best that I heard was a DJ several years ago who played it back-to-back with a cut from the SNCC Freedom Singers. What strikes me as sad these days is that many listeners probably don't know what SNCC was and how historic the organization was.
	♥ 3:53pm porchy: i encourage everyone on this board to read the book Sheila referenced "Chasing the Scream" - its captivating, informative and heartbreaking
	3:53pm John from Florham park: @Phillippe will thus show be too heavy for you
	3:54pm sufferwords: anyone that has friends that partake needs to have Narcan available- especially in the phentanyl era
	3:55pm JakeGould: @Stanley: The crazy thing about the war on drugs? Alcohol is actually more damaging to the body than marijuana. So when you hear folks say that pot can cause irreparable brain damage, they are the same folks who look at teens going blackout drunk and just say, “They’re just being teens!” Alcohol is the worst, moist commonly available drug anyone can buy anywhere. But that is a tangent I don’t want to go on.
	♥ 3:55pm porchy: @sufferwords - YES - its harder to get in NJ than it should be but hopefully this governor will fix that - some states its free
	♥ 3:57pm listener james from westwood: The police-industrial complex in NJ has been a barrier to cannabis.
	♥ 3:57pm Phillippe Bastille: @John Not at all. Life is so much better.
	♥ 3:57pm EG_Astro: shelia, in case you run over (or outta time) you could always do a part II. : )
	3:58pm Nicole: @SheilaB I am constantly amazed by the programming you bring to this station. Always loving it!
	♥ 3:58pm porchy: the whitney houston documentary was also heartbreaking
	3:58pm Jonny Wulf: Whitney <3
	3:58pm Jocelyn: Hi Phillippe! Hope everything is well
	3:59pm Emily: Yr making me cry here for Whitney
	3:59pm Jett: Might be my favorite Whitney Houston track, her version is better than the original.
	3:59pm morphe': There is a waiting list for rehab in NYC????????????? People asking for help get put off for weeks or months... and if they also need housing... disaster
	4:00pm John from Florham park: @EGA I second that @PB gotcha
	♥ 4:01pm Stanley: @JakeGould. You are absolutely right. Alcohol and loneliness is a terrible combo and so common. Most teens get through the excess years but for some it's a start of a trajectory.
	♥ 4:02pm Phillippe Bastille: Well hey there, Jocelyn! Everything is copacetic here, how about you?
	4:03pm JakeGould: @morphe': I have no idea on specifics, but NYCs efforts to help the homeless and drug affected are really superficial at best. The city is more focused on pushing the homeless away when private efforts to count the homeless happen and pushing “Meatless Mondays” and campaigns against “Sugary Drinks” than dealing with real issues.
	♥ 4:03pm Handy Haversack: And Buckfast doesn't help, eh, @Stanley?
	4:04pm William Main: This song is featured in Nathan West's novel Day of the Locust.
	4:04pm Jett: I like this one better than the Stuff Smith version! "You'se A Viper"
	4:04pm Jocelyn: Philippe, all good here!
	♥ 4:06pm EG_Astro: @JakeG Yeah. and that extends to the MTA and the price hikes, bail reform and "public safety" and it goes on. ooooooo NYC
	♥ 4:06pm EG_Astro: also this song is excellent.
	4:07pm Peter A: Rehab is so brilliant and tragic at the same time.
	4:07pm John from Florham park: Amy winehouse what a tragedy that was
	♥ 4:09pm Matt Fiveash: Great show Sheila. I'm struck by how if you were to take away the overarching theme of this show, and take away your commentary, we're left with a pretty good overview of great twentieth century popular music. Which speaks to the fact that the history of humanity is also the history of intoxication, and often the history of the kinds of trauma that underlie all that stuff- the trauma that we collectively, particularly in American society, pretend isn't there (as the woman in the clip you played from the horizons conference touched on). Hope that makes sense? Also: Etta James fuck yeah!
	♥ 4:10pm diciassette: "Il faut être toujours ivre" - Chulls B.
	4:11pm Micheal: Amy was a rare talent. She just didn’t make it through, a tragic shame. Tony Bennett said in her doc - “Life teaches you how to live if you live long enough.” Thank you, Sheila.
	4:12pm Jett: Amy Winehouse was so amazing, it's very sad to lose someone so brilliant because of addiction.
	♥ 4:12pm βrian: Une autre espèce d'ivresse, il voulait dire.
	4:12pm John from Florham park: This show is depressing and great at the same time
	♥ 4:13pm βrian: @JFP: Kinda like booze?
	♥ 4:13pm Handy Haversack: @Matt, math checks out.
	4:14pm John from Florham park: @Brian yes
	4:14pm sufferwords: check the doc The Pharmacist- Sackler family = 400,000 opioid deaths
	4:15pm Fox: Thank you so much for this message, Sheila!!! I would add to the damage of the war on drugs the thousands of people who have died because those around them were too afraid to call 911. I lost my true love to that circumstance.
	♥ 4:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Alcohol: The cause of, and the solution to, all of life's problems. youtu.be...
	♥ 4:19pm Handy Haversack: You and Homer said a mouthful, Ken.
	♥ 4:19pm Lixiviated Life: another setting sun
	4:19pm Emily: Love you, Sheila! Keep preachin!
	♥ 4:20pm βrian: Speaking of cirrhosis, auto-tune!
	4:21pm Nate K.: This is a such a deft, thoughtful blending of music and issue-based real talk. Drug use/addiction should be guided by science not the law. That pretty much sums it up.
	4:21pm djsheilab: Fox—Thank you! And for reminding me of this vital issue which I will talk about.
	4:22pm Jett: Not a drug user. I did do some drugs when I was younger. I am very compassionate about this subject. Not sure just how safe marijuana really is, I know I killed lot's of brain cells in my lifetime.
	♥ 4:22pm porchy: this show is the epitome of why getting music from well thought out people on radio as opposed to analytics and streaming services is so important
	♥ 4:22pm Ike: Bizarre fun fact: Sia loves Survivor so much (yes, the reality show on CBS, the gold standard of trashy reality TV competition shows) that she gives some of the losing contestants a bunch of money every season.
	4:23pm Christine: Great theme and even greater commentary. I think this is the first time I’ve ever appreciated a DJ yapping on this station. Big love to you.
	4:23pm Dave In Leicester: Naomi Klein’s Shock Doctrine tells the unbelievable story of how US driven shock economics in Bolivia in the 80s led to farmers turning to increased coca production, creating a surge in cocaine flooding into the US
	4:23pm P-90: Most excellent mic break.
	♥ 4:23pm βrian: Oh, WFMU has some lovely yappers.
	♥ 4:24pm Guido from Cologne: "White Rabbit": musically inspired by listening to Miles Davis' "Sketches Of Spain" on acid and pointing to morphine-related childrens books, most namely Lewis Carrol's classic.
	4:25pm bridgettendaisy: There’s a really unique video/ song release “white Christmas: cocaine and ketamine” by media artist Srkn8 on his Instagram/ YouTube . Worth checking out if you’re a drug compassionate/ curious person. Doesn’t glorify or villanize use but as you said addresses drug use as a reality that those of us surrounded by art and artists deal with in our own way everyday. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qxwqzDf1oUo
	4:25pm Jocelyn: Fox, I’ve known about six people who died in that circumstance. Calling for help should be decriminalized everywhere.
	4:26pm John from Florham park: @Sheliab I know neil young is a man but one of his early songs is a great one called the needle and the damage done
	♥ 4:27pm steveo: Good show & I appreciate your common-sense take. WFMU is my current drug of choice.
	4:27pm djsheilab: Thank you for such a wealth of beautiful, insightful comments, dear listeners!
	4:28pm Listener Robert: This is a worthy subject and a worthy cause, Ms. B.
	♥ 4:29pm Handy Haversack: Oh, wow, this song. Yeah.
	4:29pm watchpocket: Hello Sheila. I'm guessing you are aware of MAPS -- the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies -- but if not, here you go: https://maps.org/ Meanwhile thank you for doing this show and raising awareness about this issue. Also, If you've never heard Terence McKenna's raps, you'll likely want to look him up.
	4:30pm KevinfromBayRidge: The obvious needs to be stated occasionally. Thank you Ms Burgel.
	♥ 4:31pm Handy Haversack: They all moved to Seattle or LA.
	4:31pm Listener Robert: I presented at at least one conference of the DPA's predecessor, the Drug Reform Coalition, back in the 20th Century.
	4:31pm Georgie B: Awesome show!!! I love the theme! It is so relevant to what is happening now!!! I ❤️ WFMU!!!
	♥ 4:31pm Guido from Cologne: Is there a meaning behind "Jingle Jangle Morning" that is beyond me?
	4:31pm Listener Robert: Watchpocket, Ms. B. mentioned MAPS a few minutes ago.
	4:31pm Jocelyn: Mary Lou!
	♥ 4:32pm EG_Astro: yahhh was wondering when we were gonna hear some chavela!
	♥ 4:33pm Handy Haversack: It had been far too long since I last heard Mary Lou Lord.
	4:33pm Dave Spice: @John from Florham Park - Neil Young has said that song was inspired by Bert Jansch's song Needle of Death from his eponymous 1965 LP.
	4:33pm John from Florham park: @Dave spice thanks
	4:34pm brainiac: After listening again to 'Doll Parts,' I have to ask: Did Courtney Love secretly write most of Nirvana's material?
	♥ 4:34pm βrian: Please ask the sommelier for something that goes with despondency.
	♥ 4:35pm tim from champaign (now washington): Sheila introduced me to Chavela Vargas. This is so good.
	4:35pm Jett: Didn't know Chavela Vargas had drug issues, I know she was an alcoholic, but never heard she was involved with drugs.
	4:35pm watchpocket: @Listener Robert Thanks, good to know. (I'm doing errands around the house & missed bits of the mic breaks..) For anyone unfamiliar with Terence McKenna's talks and books, he was brilliant and worth checking out.
	4:35pm JakeGould: @GuidoFromCologne: It’s a wee bit of a riff on the Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazelwood line: “Some velvet morning when I'm straight…”
	4:36pm Listener Robert: I'm wondering -- anybody here familiar with one OD victim I knew, Linda Twigg? I don't know how much overlap there'd be between her crowd and WFMU listeners, but I'd think many.
	♥ 4:36pm Handy Haversack: @βrian: we have nepenthe, but perhaps you would prefer lethe?
	4:36pm Patrick in Hoboken: This is a great selection Sheila, some familiar artists and some new ones to me.
	♥ 4:36pm tim from champaign (now washington): Man, Burt Jansch's Needle of Death devastates me. I can't think of a song more empathetic yet damning.
	4:37pm Rob Kopp: What a great song by Gillian Welch
	4:38pm Jett: Great one! @Tim
	4:39pm Dave In Leicester: It seems at times that access to drugs has risen alongside a punitive approach to their use as a cautionary tale to those who lack the “moral strength” to avoid them
	4:41pm morphe': Thanks for spinning Sh - B and thanks all.. no coinincidence that my tag is morphe'
	♥ 4:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Speaking of Linda, I'll be listener Linda Lee would have some insight. She's mentioned this subject matter a couple of times.
	4:41pm Jett: Hopefully we'll hear something from La Lupe today, she had some bad drug issues.
	4:41pm Fox: Thinking about it, Sheila, i find that people with holier-than-thou, absolutist attitudes about drugs tend to have the privilege and blandness of coming from a stable homelife. Drugs are a natural response to trauma and chaos and pain, as well as curiosity and adventurousness.
	4:42pm Dave Spice: @Tim from Champaign - SheilaB could get the song into the show - there's a cover by US born, UK based singer Julie Felix
	♥ 4:42pm tim from champaign (now washington): Meanwhile, that dickhead wanna-be football coach of a vice preseident is in charge of handling the coronavirus outbreak in the US. The same moron who refused to sign off on needle exchanges in his state in order to prevent a spike in HIV and ODs.
	4:42pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Great show today! I couldn’t agree more re drugs.
	♥ 4:43pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Dave - I'm not familiar with her. I'll check it out. There's also a version by To La Tengo with Georgia singing.
	4:45pm White Michael: I bought a bunch of Fent strips and mailed them to folks in xmas cards. About $2 each. bunkpolice.com...
	4:45pm Dave Spice: @Tim - I'd forgotten about Yo La Tengo's version. Good call.
	♥ 4:45pm Ike: The New Yorker article about these drug laws is really intense. I'll find a link in several minutes if I can....
	♥ 4:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: @tim - Race Bannon could barely handle Jonny Quest and Hadji.
	4:46pm Stillwell Coney Islander: I support StreetNursesInBlueJeans - public health RNs who provide safe administration of drugs to homeless addicts - Canadian Public Health Association Vancouver Ca thanks for this timely program
	4:46pm John from Florham park: As long as this current administration is in the White House not gonna happen
	♥ 4:47pm steveo: @guido "jingle jangle morning" is a dylan quote from "mr. tambourine man", which many think is about drugs. i think maybe in mary lou lord's song, she's saying that maybe love can take their place and get her out of her jingle jangle morning. (or maybe i'm just grasping at straws)
	4:48pm Rob Kopp: Listened to both covers of Needle of death by Julie Felix and Yo La Tengo. Thanks Dave and Tim for bringing them to my attention.
	4:48pm ?: the people that died of bad booze in prohibition died from booze spiked by the GOVERNMENT.
	♥ 4:48pm tim from champaign (now washington): Exactly, Ken - hahaha!
	4:48pm Zephyr: When a person (such as a radio dj) uses their access to the public to try to help people when they don’t have to they should be applauded so I applaud you.
	♥ 4:50pm steveo: @sheila mary lou lord says "And my dance with Mr. Brownstone got too rough" which is heroin, as far as i know
	♥ 4:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: ("White Rabbit" is currently missing from the playlist, Sheila.)

	♥ 4:53pm steveo: my current drug of choice is watching the playlist magically expand when a new song is entered
	4:53pm TheGeorgeFix: We met way back when at Claire & Lex's wedding; I can't tell you how glad I am to hear this show. I've given out several copies of Chasing the Scream and I'm so glad you're using this platform to help show people a different way to view addiction and drug use. I think you're doing an amazing job; thanks for all you're doing.
	4:54pm brainiac: *White Rabbit, that is
	4:54pm Karen: I’m out running errands and I was wondering what wonderful show I had tuned into. Then I realized it was Friday between 3 and 6. Lovely show, as always. Wonderful messages! Thank you so much!
	♥ 4:54pm iiibeat: I saw my goldfish smoking a doobie just last week. I'm glad it wasn't shooting-up, honestly.
	♥ 4:54pm Guido from Cologne: Esther Phillips became addicted in her "child prodigy" years.
	4:54pm listener james from westwood: Hot damn, this Phillips song.
	4:54pm Russt44: "Little" Esther Phillips! Great LA singer.
	4:55pm Katherine: Sheila! This is so important. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Fentanyl killed my boyfriend last year. Wfmu has been a constant support for me, but you've gone above and beyond. This is the work of harm reduction. And I do hope those who don't understand pay attention!! Those laws which hold individuals who give others drugs criminally responsible are so upsetting, since using together is in fact encouraged as harm reduction, and cops are guaranteed keepers of overdose reversal kits. The message that we want to make life safer for users and that we must treat them with respect is crucial. And talk to those in your communities, schools or places of work about holding narcan training and keeping life saving drugs on hand. And the playlist is well curated to boot. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
	4:55pm Jett: @Zephyr In this particular case, I fully agree with you.
	4:55pm P-90: Good news. (I’ve volunteered myself as an OOPP Trainer in Harlem, one of the best things ever.) https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/four-students-save-lives-with-the-help-of-columbia-universitys-naloxone-training-program/ar-BB10rkHw
	♥ 4:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: @braniac - I refreshed my browser (Firefox 73.0.1 on Windows10) and it's there now. It wasn't there before the refresh ... weird. I thought I was hallucinating.
	4:56pm Fox: There's a theory that the Egyptian civilization began, the earliest (?) example of agriculture, based on their desire for beer. Its why they so deified wheat. It was not only food, but drink, especially because the water was not safe.
	♥ 4:57pm βrian: @Fox: And don't forget about the ergot in the grains.
	♥ 4:57pm Ike: Here it is. Important New Yorker article about "overdose-homicide" cases: www.newyorker.com...
	♥ 4:57pm porchy: Katherine thanks for sharing - yes, as a society harm reduction and education should be the policy
	♥ 5:00pm Handy Haversack: Summon Michele with one L! There's feelings a-happening!
	5:00pm djsheilab: Katherine—Thank you!!! I hope it's okay with you if I share what you've written during my next mic break.
	5:01pm brainiac: "I Feel For You" is one of my all time favorite Prince tunes. Don't remember hearing that version of the rap at the beginning, though
	5:02pm brainiac: Perhaps due to my drug-addled brain
	5:02pm Jett: Chaka outdid herself on this version of the Prince track. Great!
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm gratified if the phrase Harm Reduction gets some currency.
	5:04pm listener james from westwood: I thought this was Nick the Bard!
	5:04pm Bruce Francis Simpson: @? : When the manufacture and sale of alcohol was illegal between 1920 and 1933, regulatory agencies encouraged measures making industrial alcohol undrinkable, including the addition of lethal chemicals. The government did not poison supplies of alcohol meant for human consumption, nor did it intentionally aim to kill those who drank the tainted products.
	♥ 5:05pm Handy Haversack: In America you have to go through a yuppie tech shaman and hang out with a bunch of 1 percenters all night to get ayahuasca.
	5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Talk about Toxic.
	5:06pm Jett: Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, and RC-Cola can be pretty addictive.
	5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Coke' s ultimate predecessor was a cocaine infused wine. Terence McKenna suggested no drug has had the scope of or malevolent consequences of Sugar. Slavery had ended before it...
	5:10pm JakeGould: @Fox: I always question those “We drank beer/vodka…” tales in the context of water not being clean. The reason being is nobody could just drink that much alcohol regularly without some serious health issues. For example the Soviet tales of soldiers just endlessly drinking vodka during war because of the lack of water. The evidence I have read explains that many distilleries just filtered water as part of their process. And as such they would provide cleaned water to people who wanted it. Sometimes in the same bottles they bottled booze in. Thus the urban legend of Soviet troops during World War II “surviving” on just vodka instead of water. Whatever they drank was in a bottle that looked like vodka, but it was mostly water.
	5:11pm JakeGould: Also, opiate addiction in the U.S. can be directly traced back to the Civil War. It was used extensively in battle.
	♥ 5:11pm iiibeat: Sugar is THE gateway drug. No joke.
	5:11pm Bruce Francis Simpson: Had a probation captain in my hometown that had a tank of Coke syrup under his desk that he sampled between appointments.
	5:12pm Keith from Oregon: Dusty has the greatest voice! I LOVE her voice!
	5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ....cause vodka goes with everything...
	♥ 5:12pm iiibeat: Addictive drives are established asap. The DRIVE of addiction . . At 4.
	5:13pm William Main: Glad you included Anita O'Day.
	5:14pm P-90: More good news. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/feb/17/opioid-vending-machine-opens-vancouver-mysafe-canada?fbclid=IwAR1cbAT2t8VqJn05SSS4xmSTvBMB1nsbLbtg-2EJkM0YYBJTdqMI7HGcYqY
	♥ 5:16pm Handy Haversack: You're doing absolutely awesome, Sheila B! On the side of the angels.
	5:16pm Fox: A friend told me that evidently there are kits you can buy on Amazon to test your drugs.
	♥ 5:18pm Handy Haversack: @Fox, even without knowing the price, I am going to say that that sounds like a solution only for the very comfortable -- and who don't worry about letting Amazon know that they want that product.
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 Katherine Fentanyl - opiate deliberately manufactured - promoted - & distributed - by Big Pharma & the Doctors. 50 Xs as strong as Heroin. It took Prince & Tom Petty just trying to work.
	5:19pm johnzo: damn that’s crazy
	5:19pm Jett: May I say that it becomes very obvious that this issue is something that comes very close to your heart. I realize that you always put your heart into all your shows. I think your message is coming through loud and clear and I'm so proud of you. This is great!
	5:20pm listener james from westwood: Good heavens—sorry you had to be in the middle of that as a kid, Sheila. <3

	5:21pm listener james from westwood: Chills on hearing Sill here.

	5:27pm Dave In Leicester: My favourite Lemonheads
	5:28pm chalmers: Sheila B., making the world a better place every Friday.
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I've had one long term relationship in my life. She became a meth addict - & ended up in the same West Coast rehab where Jerry Garcia died. Sometimes it's a strange small world. Supportinng the addict but not the addiction is no simple matter. I certainly had none of the tools whatsoever.
	5:30pm Rob Kopp: I hope you're not alone at the moment
	♥ 5:30pm Smilty69: Thank you for sharing your story, Sheila.
	5:31pm ignatatus666: No need to make these drugs legal. Heroin addiction helped to blow up AIDS. One of my Uncles didn’t get clean from dope until he so debilitated from AIDS and got a one way ticket to a hospital. Not many years after a very close friend was diagnosed with AIDS also from abusing Heroin. Currently I am doing outreach with a friend who is homeless in Brooklyn. She was missing over 3 years. He has both crack and heroin addictions She prostitutes to stay high. She is also not able to be recognized.
	5:31pm Squinchy: This show is very cool, and sad. Thank you for sharing your story, Sheila.
	5:31pm ignatatus666: She*
	♥ 5:32pm porchy: Ignatatus - listen back to Sheila's monologues. its exactly the circumstances you are talking about that she/we are hoping to change. give the book "chasing the scream" a read - please
	5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Surely the attitudes & actions towards AIDS were parallel to the Drug War.
	5:34pm JakeGould: Hey Sheila! Tons of respect for you and to you. Also, judges suburban kids really should get smacked upside the head. I mean I don’t know if you forgave them but still…
	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & ever notice economics & the price tag are the dead end value of every conversation about anything...
	5:35pm JakeGould: @ignatatus666: Lack of needle exchange and such is what helped AIDS blow up. Just look at the history of Drumf’s second in command who caused an HIV epidemic in Indiana in 2011.
	5:36pm John from Florham park: I so miss karen carpenter what a amazing talent
	♥ 5:36pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: This has been a really touching show, Sheila. Thank you for putting it together.
	♥ 5:36pm EG_Astro: ....and the reagan administration ?
	5:37pm zivilars: the clarity of karen carpenters voices never ceases to amaze me
	5:37pm Dave Spice: @JakeGould - well said and absolutely correct.
	5:38pm ignatatus666: The man who just spoke doesn’t go home with these people to say there is no downward spiral etc . The Majority of those addicted set over well in publication home is where we see the monster.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reagan.
	♥ 5:38pm Michael 98145: i wuz here, just away from the typewriter
	♥ 5:39pm porchy: Ignatatus many of us on this message board live with addiction in our lives in many ways
	♥ 5:39pm Stanley: Thank you Sheila for this show and highlighting such an important subject, something we can all relate to or have experience with one way or another. Through compassion and understanding we will overcome.
	♥ 5:40pm Theolonius: I've been running errands & catching this show in pieces as I streamed it. Looking forward to hearing it in its entirety over the weekend. I'm almost at a loss for words for the level of compassion and sincerity Sophisticated Boom Boom exhibits. This is more than just a music station. WFMU is the way radio should be!!! Thank you Sheila B! Thank you! <3 <3 <3
	♥ 5:40pm Handy Haversack: Just a quick note that IN ADDITION to the crucial work of care and advocacy, Sheila, the music is, like every single wonderful week, still swingin' and singin' and making marvels real. So -- you know, thanks. As always.
	♥ 5:41pm Michael 98145: what Theolonius just said
	5:41pm Dave Spice: A brilliant and inspiring show, SheilaB. A beacon of humanity in an increasingly hostile world.
	5:42pm Hello?: Ignatatus - maybe your're not the right person to do "outreach'? Get off your 'high' horse
	5:43pm evan: hell yeah great show!!! solidarity
	♥ 5:44pm Michael 98145: We will be paying for the Reagan regime for a very, very long time
	5:44pm Craig: Love you Sheila, My Son is addicted to Heroine and Meth. I.v use, been trying to help him for five years
	5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Find the Psychedelic Salon podcast rewarding btw. This show not just compassionate - but well-informed & articulate. Impressive.
	5:45pm Sally: What do people think of NA and Nar-Anon? Are they helpful?
	5:45pm JakeGould: @ignatatus666: I think you might have interesting info to share if you just toned it down. Sheila has like 18 minutes, please. “The man who just spoke doesn’t go home with these people to say there is no downward spiral etc” Yadda, yada… Give it a rest. Drug use and unsafe drug use are two different things.
	5:45pm P-90: Ipecac is an emetic (induces vomiting), sometimes abused by bulimics.
	♥ 5:46pm Rob from colonia: Sheila...you are creating epic radio...the future will need this archived ..really
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No wish to trivialize Ignatius' experiences.
	♥ 5:46pm porchy: Ignatatus - if you read chasing the scream i will read any book on the topic of addiction that you recommend - promise - then we can discuss
	♥ 5:47pm McGroovey: Excellent show, SheilaB. Thank you.
	5:48pm Jett: Another outstanding show. As always, your heart and soul come through. I think you've handled this subject so brilliantly and made your point very clear. Thanks and once again, I'm so proud of you! ❤️
	5:49pm ignatatus666: @HakeGould go away with your stalking me. You already got me banned from another program. I’m asking you nicely to not interact with me.
	5:49pm JakeGould: FWIW, as much as I overshare at times in life and even on these comments I choose not to share some if the extremely dark drug and disease stuff that has happened in my direct family. So yes, a very close family member of mine died of AIDS. Do I wish to share the details to prove something to someone like “ignatatus666?” Utterly no. Boundaries, limits, and respect.
	5:50pm JakeGould: @ignatatus666: I am not stalking you. I am aware of your behavior. “You already got me banned from another program.” I did no such thing. If I happened to be on that board at the time, don’t blame me.
	♥ 5:51pm Bucksomcounty: Thank you Sistah for your passion and attention to this issue. Another contributing factor to addiction is the gamut of poorly-addressed mental health problems. Fabulous show!
	5:51pm ignatatus666: @Hello I’m 33 years clean and sober Please do not be prejudiced towards the outreach I do. Helping others helps me to grow in sobriety and helps me to reach more people.
	5:52pm P-90: Dinah Washington: divine
	5:52pm ignatatus666: Jake Enough Leave me alone
