	9:08am Rich from Wading River: Good morning Joe - I remember loving that Styx record as a kid, and then getting told how uncool it was. Not that they weren’t wearing, but that record has some bangers!

	🎸 ♥ 9:08am Edgar from Maine: ELP too??! Progtastic.

	🎸 ♥ 9:15am G: Dave M thanks Joe for the implicit promo set!
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am sydnius: let the ⭐️ flow 🤘🏻
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am Dano59: Is the theme rock stars having rock star dreams?
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am love2laf: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:10 Maybe we're switching to Mandel Monday instead of Mellancamp Monday?
	♥ 9:17am Chris Hiatt: Hallo Joe McG, surface noisers.
	9:18am BillfromRockTavern: This sounds like a different mix or take of Rock Show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am Dano59: I had a music-nerd friend who tended to believe Klaatu were the Beatles in disguise.
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am dday: ↳ Song: "Rock Show" by "Wings" Not a lot of "nose rings' in '75 as I recall. If i had to pick, I prefer this version of Rock Show
	♥ 9:18am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies!
	♥ 9:19am Joe McG: ↳ love2laf @9:16 Today will be the last Mellencamp Monday! :(
	9:19am Rich from Wading River: Did McCartney get hood hands on a copy of Radio City back in the day?
	🎸 ♥ 9:20am Dano59: This has to be the first time I've really heard the 'Jimmy Page' name-drop and the Kinks-like bridge in 'Rock Show.' Holy cow! Now i gotta re-hear the Langley Schools kids' version
	♥ 9:20am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Joe McG @9:19 It was a heckuva run.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20am Dano59: ↳ Joe McG @9:19 Address JCM CARE (tm) Packages to...
	♥ 9:20am People Like Us: this doesn't sound like the version on my copy of Venus and Mars
	🎸 ♥ 9:21am Dano59: I dig the "old version" !!
	♥ 9:22am fred: ↳ People Like Us @9:20 Really great podcast with Wobbly!
	♥ 9:22am People Like Us: ↳ fred @9:22 thank you!
	🎸 ♥ 9:22am love2laf: ↳ Joe McG @9:19 It was a fabulous run, we knew it had to come to an end. Something new will crop up in your DJ brain and that will delight our ears.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22am Dano59: B-b-b-b-Benny and the Jetsssss incoming?
	🎸 ♥ 9:23am Dano59: For his involvement here, Paul Nicholas was condemned to Hell on the Seventh Floor.
	♥ 9:23am People Like Us: weirdly there was no mention of the Sgt. Pepper movie in the Bee Gees doc
	9:26am ?: Is this what they mean by, "even when you're alone you aren't really?" Relationships
	♥ 9:26am Joe McG: ↳ People Like Us @9:23 Ha ha ha
	9:27am Triple G: Nicely done with Bennie & The Jets here
	🎸 ♥ 9:28am love2laf: ↳ Dano59 @9:22 Nicely called!
	🎸 ♥ 9:28am dans507: I sincerely believe it's OK for FMU DJs to play more familiar songs/artists once in a while. Hey, FMU is supposed to be about musical unpredictability. Well, if FMU always plays music by artists almost nobody has ever heard of, isn't that a kind of predictability?
	🎸 ♥ 9:29am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by "The Be... that wasn't half bad; better than Joe Cocker even. I only ever loved Robin doing "Oh! Darling!" but that movie absolutely enraged me. My girlfriend didn't quite understand me screaming as we left the theatre in 1978.
	♥ 9:29am Joe McG: I'm not going to play it, but imagine "Ziggy played guitar..." after this song for Full Classic Rock Impact.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29am dans507: ↳ Dano59 @9:22 You called it!
	9:30am Rich from Wading River: I still have no idea what Elton is singing in this song.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am Dano59: ↳ dans507 @9:28 going against all expectations of hipster correctness, all for the love of music and thematic concern, is one of the best things about FMU!
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Joe McG @9:29 Thanks Joe. Imagination should amply cover that.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am Dano59: ↳ dans507 @9:29 I used to get the lyrics SO WRONG
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am love2laf: ↳ dans507 @9:28 I so agree with you on this. For me, it's Free Form, and DJ's volunteering their own time, to play whatever they feel like. We're simply passengers who get to feed our ears with whatever is served up for us. And 4 streams to choose from if it's not your personal preference that day.
	♥ 9:31am fred: ↳ Joe McG @9:29 So you're definitely playing it
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am Dano59: Therese and Michael Shelley and even TOPT also go for the popular shocker sometimes
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am steveo: Bennie!
	🎸 ♥ 9:33am JG: Can't go wrong with Alice Cooper
	🎸 ♥ 9:33am dday: ↳ Joe McG @9:29 For the most part, the only thing "wrong" with these songs is that they were played to death on commercial rock radio. They still hold up well after many years of not hearing them constantly. I'd have gone with Billion Dollar Babies...but that's just me
	🎸 ♥ 9:33am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Welcome to My Nightmare" by "Alice Cooper" To me, "Elected" is Alice's rock-star fantasy
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am JG: Am I crazy, or did Alice appear on "The Muppet Show " and do this?
	9:34am Hopscotchprince: ↳ dans507 @9:28 Didn't I hear snoop doggy dogg and Selena and Danny elfman the other day on here?
	9:35am Panther: Awesome show Joe!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am G: ↳ JG @9:34 Yes. I checked.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am love2laf: ↳ JG @9:34 www.youtube.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am Dano59: Wilco's Red-Eyed and Blue, and Jackson B's The Road, are on the more refllective side of this theme
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am Dano59: Notice that Joe is also "Starting With the '70s."
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am JG: Thanks Love2, and G!
	9:37am failure of commenting: Great Memorial Day playlist! Sounds like my neighbor in middle village is DJ’ing, love it! Exactly what this holiday is all about hahaha
	🎸 ♥ 9:37am dans507: ↳ Song: "Welcome to My Nightmare" by "Alice Cooper" Is this song a comment on the preceding part of this set? Just kidding!
	♥ 9:38am chresti: ↳ dans507 @9:37 LOL
	♥ 9:39am People Like Us: holiday in UK
	🎸 ♥ 9:40am Dano59: WE'RE AN AMERICAN BAND!!
	9:40am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe, remember when you did that show with all the songs about amusement park rides as metaphors for life? That was one of my favorite things ever ❤️🤍💙
	♥ 9:40am fred: holiday in France too
	9:41am Mare: 95.1
	9:42am Brendan: Look at the most recently played song and don't laugh: https://951zzo.iheart.com/music/recently-played/Unlock
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am dday: WNEW-FM in NYC used to use Todd Rundgren's "Breathless" from Something Anything for concert announcements
	9:42am Brendan: https://951zzo.iheart.com/music/recently-played/
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am yerfriendpaul: Hey Joe, everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Well Joe, at least you can do your Memorial Day mic breaks today without loud motorcycles revving engines out front.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am sydnius: It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad Beatles
	🎸 ♥ 9:45am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Done with digging the garden, now I can dig your show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am Handy Haversack: Morning, Joe and all who yip.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am dday: ↳ Song: "With a Little Help from My Friends" by "Peter Fra... Read Peter's book. He was basically tricked into doing the movie by his manager Dee Anthony, who told him McCartney would be in it. That's the reason he agreed to do it. He hated both it & most of the six months he spent on set. Robert Stigwood screwed all of the artists involved when the film tanked
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am Dano59: ↳ Brendan @9:42 lol can't help it
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am love2laf: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:46 How was the weekend water outing Handy?
	🎸 ♥ 9:47am Dano59: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:44 oh, there's loud motorcycles in my town's MD parade.
	9:47am wind: Good morning. Still morning now right?
	🎸 ♥ 9:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ love2laf @9:46 Real nice -- and busy! I'll be heading out for another few hours this afternoon as well.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47am sydnius: 🤘🏻renegade
	9:48am Hopscotchprince: Is that d Ashby in the background ?
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am yerfriendpaul: I was a big Styx fan as a kid. I had a Styx mirror I won at a boardwalk carnival game
	♥ 9:48am jillydg: Definitely WZZO Joe. I won Stray Cats tickets from them by being the #th caller and singing a line from "Sexy and Seventeen" when I was at Lehigh U. Great show, just a disco ball and the band in Muhlenberg gymnasium.Cheers!
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am love2laf: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:47 Perfect way to spend the holiday, communing with nature. May the bugs be light and the water smooth.
	♥ 9:48am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:47 Maybe remember to check out Mayuko's archive
	9:48am wind: I do like Cat!
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am love2laf: ↳ Song: "All Nights, All Days" by "Cat Stevens" It blows my mind how good he sounds on this album. Loved everything I've heard off of it so far.
	9:50am Space Cowboy: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:48 Is there anything better then a Styx mirror bought at a boardwalk carnival game
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am Brian in UK: Dark Horse, was that George Harrison's label?
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @9:48 Good call.
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: ↳ jillydg @9:48 Nice!
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:48 Cool!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Space Cowboy @9:50 Right? I had it hanging right above my Emerson Stereo with cassette, turntable and 8 track!
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am yerfriendpaul: It had a panel with lights that I had no idea what the purpose was
	9:53am Rachel Bo Bachel: Hi Paul! Hi Handy! Happy Mem Day!
	9:54am MrDeb: Wow. Thanks for sharing that Trevor Sloan song, Joe. So lovely.
	🎸 ♥ 9:54am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Rachel Bo Bachel @9:53 Hi Rachel! Handy! Gang!
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:52 Gawd, I had the exact same stereo!
	♥ 9:55am Joe McG: ↳ MrDeb @9:54 His album is really nice!
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Joe McG @9:54 Ha ha! YES! I loved it. Gotta lotta use out of it
	🎸 ♥ 9:58am steveo: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:55 so jealous--never had an 8-track; but I was absolutely convinced that my radio/cassette/turntable combo was of the FINEST quality
	9:59am Deano de los Muertos: I thought this was a Dylan cover at first
	🎸 ♥ 9:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ Rachel Bo Bachel @9:53 Morning, Rachel!
	🎸 ♥ 9:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:54 Hey, Paul!
	9:59am Brendan: Emerson Lake is a dry lake bed in the Mojave Desert. No mention of Palm trees.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am dday: ↳ Joe McG @9:54 Receivers....Emerson, Lloyds, Dynaco & Radio Shack / Tandy (for the builder types like me) Garrard turntables & of course Pioneer, Marantz & Fisher (for the slightly more upscale buyer). Then if you really had the money Harmon Kardon, Mcintosh, Carver Bang & Olufsson
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am love2laf: ↳ steveo @9:58 The pride we felt in our all-in-one systems that we bought as our first system will always be a highlight of our young selves. I had a seperate turntable, but 8-track, radio, dual cassette system that brought me joy.
	10:01am Hopscotchprince: Rick wakeman selling his vintage moog on reverb
	♥ 10:02am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:50 I'm such a boring shill. Bye
	♥ 10:02am gone with the wind: so good!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am yerfriendpaul: ↳ steveo @9:58 The 8 track didn’t get much use, but I figured I needed it at the time. I remember I had a Charlie Daniel’s Band 8 track (I can’t remember the album name). It made me angry because one of the songs faded out on 1 track, clicked to the next track and faded up to continue. That made no sense to me and still doesn’t ha ha
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: I still can't hear David Bowie's "Yassassin" without anticipating the fade in the middle and the channel clunk.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am yerfriendpaul: Ha ha!
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am Brian in UK: My copy of Working Man's Dead used to jump. I got so used to it that when I heard Uncle John's Band without it; it made me jump!
	🎸 ♥ 10:09am dday: ↳ Joe McG @10:04 So many songs like that. We had two places in town to buy bootleg 8 tracks. One was next to a hot dog stand on Rt. 46 in Elwood Park,NJ a truckers favorite stop & one, believe it or not, was across the street from the Garfield,NJ police station. Paul got busted by the Feds eventually. Serious stuff. Put him out of business. He also sold home audio equipment. We bought our first receiver from him..$100 bucks
	🎸 ♥ 10:10am love2laf: ↳ Song: "We Can't Go Home Again" by "William Tyler & the I... Wow, this had me mesmerized from start to finish, will need to listen to the full album for sure.
	10:10am Hopscotchprince: ↳ Song: "Impregnated by Drops of Rainbow" by "Bobby Lee" When I retire, will buy an organ and a rhythm ace
	♥ 10:11am gone with the wind: ↳ Song: "Impregnated by Drops of Rainbow" by "Bobby Lee" another gem...jam :)
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: ↳ Hopscotchprince @10:10 Don't wait! :)
	10:19am teod: This is a great start to the morning, thank you
	🎸 ♥ 10:19am tim from washington: Hey Joe! Hey everyone! I’m thoroughly enjoying the freedom rock!

	🎸 ♥ 10:25am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Crystal Blue Persuasion" by "Tommy James & the Sh... A stoned out two chord song....
	10:25am clarke: still couglin'!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:26am love2laf: ↳ Joe McG @10:25 Waiting with giddy delight! What will the final couglin' cut be???
	🎸 ♥ 10:26am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Song: "Crystal Blue Persuasion" by "Tommy James & the Sh... I used to work at a video store and I’d play video compilation tapes so I could hear music while working instead of the same movies over and over. This song was on one of those tapes
	10:26am clarke: peace and good - brotherhood
	10:27am Brendan: Scientist have determined that the easy-going vibe of this set has slowed Earth's rotation in a good way, man.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am tim from washington: ↳ Joe McG @10:25 I completely understand!
	10:28am clarke: sir!! THIS is a library!!

From TJ's Book Me,The Mob & The Music: "I had played a gig awhile back in Atlanta & a young fan had come over tome with a poem he had written. It was a Christian poem inspired by the book of Revelation & contained the phrase "crystal blue persuasion." I never heard from this kid again. I was so taken with the poem & particularly the phrase crystal blue persuasion, I knew I had to use it in a song."
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Smiling Phases" by "Traffic" Joe, is this the flip of Paper Sun?
	10:33am clarke: ↳ Song: "Smiling Phases" by "Traffic" i think this precedes The Temps Smiling Faces by a year or so??
	♥ 10:34am three-hour brunch friend: I believe Billy Idol is on Dark Horse now too
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: ↳ Brian in UK @10:33 No, it's the B of "Hole in My Shoe."
	🎸 ♥ 10:34am tim from washington: ↳ clarke @10:31 I don’t think I’ve heard of that show.
	10:35am Mark from Bloomfield: this Traffic song was covered by Blood Sweat & Tears, as I recall. I like this original better
	10:35am paul: Always love the BS&T version of this.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "It Ain't That Easy to Lose" by "Jr. Walker & The ... Wow!
	10:36am clarke: ↳ tim from washington @10:34 yeah, i remember watching the later side of The Saint as a kid - but, this was a similar show with roger moore and Tony Curtis - international crime detection.
	10:37am clarke: it's very similar to The Saint, but a LOT more silly.
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: Jr. Walker kind of invented the "SNL" sax sound on records like this!
	10:38am clarke: i guess it was modeled after I Spy? and It Takes A Thief (which was one of my faves)
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Song: "Don't Be Cruel" by "Bill Black's Combo" This is fantastic!
	🎸 ♥ 10:41am tim from washington: ↳ clarke @10:37 Probably not as gritty as Police Squad.
	10:41am clarke: nowhere near
	10:43am clarke: maybe almost as silly.
	10:43am Brendan: Is this Abba an A Or B side ? Who's on first?
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: ↳ Brendan @10:43 It's a B! "Chiquitita" is the A.

	10:58am clarke: two of the most annoying=looking drummers: Liberty DeVito and Kenny Aronoff
	10:58am Bill Shields, poet: Now we're talking, baby! John Cougar M-effin Melancholy. My kinda people. Definitely not a poetaster.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am sydnius: ↳ Heidee @10:52 Ich bin gut, immer arbiet mit Herr Cougar
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am Dano59: Weird Al, riffing on MTV's Pink Houses contest - "we're gonna paint your mother pink"
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am dday: It's been interesting to watch JCM grow into his current self from his Johnny Cougar days. He's written some really great songs. We saw him a few years ago with Carlene Carter. Excellent show
	♥ 11:01am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Pink Houses" by "John Cougar Mellencamp" I think he actually lives in an enormous mansion down on Lake Monroe these days.

	♥ 11:03am Heidee: ↳ sydnius @10:59 💐
	♥ 11:04am Creature Boy: Went and took a gander at the lyrics of that Mellencamp tune. It's one of those lyrics that looks ODD divorced from its melody
	11:05am clarke: ↳ dday @11:02 i guess i can't argue with the sound. but, so uncool.
	🎸 ♥ 11:05am Handy Haversack: Rousing end to Mellencamp Mondays!
	11:06am clarke: 3rd Base!
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am dday: ↳ clarke @11:05 Met Liberty at a drum clinic in Newburgh,NY many years ago. Actually a really nice guy. A bit of a chip on his shoulder over how BJ dismissed him, but not surprised at that.
	11:09am clarke: he oughtta be relieved!
	🎸 ♥ 11:09am egould: ↳ dday @11:08 Kenny Aranoff was a regular customer at the Kinko’s I used to work at in Bloomington, IN. Nice dude.

	🎸 ♥ 11:11am dday: ↳ clarke @11:09 well..not really...steady paycheck dismissed as well
	🎸 ♥ 11:11am egould: ↳ dday @11:10 This was circa 1989-1990. He may have become a douchebag since. It happens! :-)
	11:12am clarke: he can join the rest of us.
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am dday: ↳ egould @11:11 Haaa haaa. I'd say each of us has that potential. We must be vigilant :)

	🎸 ♥ 11:14am love2laf: ↳ Heidee @11:13 Good friend of mine, who's hilarious, knows the whole thing by heart, and performed the whole commercial at a beer festival. Had us, and everyone around us in stitches!
	♥ 11:14am Creature Boy: I mentioned the Wasp album on the toddophonic chat & he wasn't familiar but soon was spinning Shaun's Rebel Rebel or another winning cut from that record. It takes a creature
	🎸 ♥ 11:15am PaulRobeson1923: “Rectum!”
	11:15am clarke: ↳ Song: "Some Go Home" by "Jerry Jeff Walker" great album!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:15am dday: ↳ Creature Boy @11:14 Produced by Todd Rundgren featuring Utopia

	♥ 11:18am Creature Boy: ↳ dday @11:15 My favorite cut is the ian hunter song Once Bitten Twice Shy.
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am dday: ↳ egould @11:16 Quite a clientele'
	♥ 11:20am Creature Boy: ↳ Creature Boy @11:18 I think it Shaun's fave too cuz he included it on a Hits collection ( not a hit)
	♥ 11:21am Heidee: ↳ love2laf @11:14 I bet that was awesome
	11:25am Zimharry: I keep trying to get up and get into the shower annnnnnnnnnnd.............another mesmerizing tune comes along..........
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am love2laf: ↳ Zimharry @11:25 The Monday struggle is real, how to find a song that lets you escape to shower.
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: ↳ Zimharry @11:25 Sorry for keeping you dirty! :)

	🎸 ♥ 11:32am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Heidee @11:28 Have a good day, Heidee!
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am chris_in_space: ↳ Song: "The Lee Shore" by "Stephen Stills with David Crosby" Cool version of "Lee Shore". Never heard it before. Stills finds a way to shred over anything, eh?
	🎸 ♥ 11:33am Dano59: ↳ egould @11:32 'Hand Sown..' like 95% of Ronstadt, still holds up
	♥ 11:34am Baja Joe: Hello Joe M and all. Loving this set.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am dday: ↳ dday @11:00 Emmy Lou was on that bill with JCM & Carlene Carter too. How did I forget that?
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Coat of Many Colors" by "Emmylou Harris" Ace has done a respectable job packaging these 'Songbook' compilations
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am Dano59: ↳ egould @11:32 that one and 'Silk Purse' in 1970 are more country, but she's a masterful interpreter - instincts AND chops. what could be better
	11:36am clarke: what COULD be better is if she could write - but not in the genes, i guess.
	11:37am listener monica: it's not well known that I'm really a country gal.
	♥ 11:37am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Coat of Many Colors" by "Emmylou Harris" I saw Emmylou at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in the early aughts and she had Linda come out for some numbers. I think my head exploded.
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Song: "Coat of Many Colors" by "Emmylou Harris" Visited the Country Music HoF 2 weeks-l ago and saw a colorful tunic Emmylou wore. Saw some great Flying Burrito Brothers outfits too
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am love2laf: ↳ yerfriendpaul @11:39 If it didn't then, what could possibly make it explode?!
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am dday: ↳ clarke @11:36 a true anomoly in the singer /songwriter era of the 70's, but man she knew what songs to cover. I had such a crush on her. Beautiful.
	🎸 ♥ 11:41am chris_in_space: This is quite the country-folk deep-cut set.

	🎸 ♥ 9:18am dday: ↳ Song: "Rock Show" by "Wings" Not a lot of "nose rings' in '75 as I recall. If i had to pick, I prefer this version of Rock Show

	🎸 ♥ 9:28am love2laf: ↳ Dano59 @9:22 Nicely called!
	🎸 ♥ 9:28am dans507: I sincerely believe it's OK for FMU DJs to play more familiar songs/artists once in a while. Hey, FMU is supposed to be about musical unpredictability. Well, if FMU always plays music by artists almost nobody has ever heard of, isn't that a kind of predictability?
	🎸 ♥ 9:29am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by "The Be... that wasn't half bad; better than Joe Cocker even. I only ever loved Robin doing "Oh! Darling!" but that movie absolutely enraged me. My girlfriend didn't quite understand me screaming as we left the theatre in 1978.
	♥ 9:29am Joe McG: I'm not going to play it, but imagine "Ziggy played guitar..." after this song for Full Classic Rock Impact.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29am dans507: ↳ Dano59 @9:22 You called it!
	9:30am Rich from Wading River: I still have no idea what Elton is singing in this song.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am Dano59: ↳ dans507 @9:28 going against all expectations of hipster correctness, all for the love of music and thematic concern, is one of the best things about FMU!
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Joe McG @9:29 Thanks Joe. Imagination should amply cover that.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am Dano59: ↳ dans507 @9:29 I used to get the lyrics SO WRONG
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am love2laf: ↳ dans507 @9:28 I so agree with you on this. For me, it's Free Form, and DJ's volunteering their own time, to play whatever they feel like. We're simply passengers who get to feed our ears with whatever is served up for us. And 4 streams to choose from if it's not your personal preference that day.
	♥ 9:31am fred: ↳ Joe McG @9:29 So you're definitely playing it
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am Dano59: Therese and Michael Shelley and even TOPT also go for the popular shocker sometimes
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am steveo: Bennie!
	🎸 ♥ 9:33am JG: Can't go wrong with Alice Cooper
	🎸 ♥ 9:33am dday: ↳ Joe McG @9:29 For the most part, the only thing "wrong" with these songs is that they were played to death on commercial rock radio. They still hold up well after many years of not hearing them constantly. I'd have gone with Billion Dollar Babies...but that's just me
	🎸 ♥ 9:33am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Welcome to My Nightmare" by "Alice Cooper" To me, "Elected" is Alice's rock-star fantasy
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am JG: Am I crazy, or did Alice appear on "The Muppet Show " and do this?
	9:34am Hopscotchprince: ↳ dans507 @9:28 Didn't I hear snoop doggy dogg and Selena and Danny elfman the other day on here?
	9:35am Panther: Awesome show Joe!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am G: ↳ JG @9:34 Yes. I checked.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am love2laf: ↳ JG @9:34 www.youtube.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am Dano59: Wilco's Red-Eyed and Blue, and Jackson B's The Road, are on the more refllective side of this theme
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am Dano59: Notice that Joe is also "Starting With the '70s."
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am JG: Thanks Love2, and G!
	9:37am failure of commenting: Great Memorial Day playlist! Sounds like my neighbor in middle village is DJ’ing, love it! Exactly what this holiday is all about hahaha
	🎸 ♥ 9:37am dans507: ↳ Song: "Welcome to My Nightmare" by "Alice Cooper" Is this song a comment on the preceding part of this set? Just kidding!

He was basically tricked into doing the movie by his manager Dee Anthony, who told him McCartney would be in it. That's the reason he agreed to do it. He hated both it & most of the six months he spent on set. Robert Stigwood screwed all of the artists involved when the film tanked

	♥ 9:48am jillydg: Definitely WZZO Joe. I won Stray Cats tickets from them by being the #th caller and singing a line from "Sexy and Seventeen" when I was at Lehigh U. Great show, just a disco ball and the band in Muhlenberg gymnasium.Cheers!
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am love2laf: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:47 Perfect way to spend the holiday, communing with nature. May the bugs be light and the water smooth.
	♥ 9:48am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:47 Maybe remember to check out Mayuko's archive
	9:48am wind: I do like Cat!
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am love2laf: ↳ Song: "All Nights, All Days" by "Cat Stevens" It blows my mind how good he sounds on this album. Loved everything I've heard off of it so far.
	9:50am Space Cowboy: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:48 Is there anything better then a Styx mirror bought at a boardwalk carnival game
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am Brian in UK: Dark Horse, was that George Harrison's label?
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @9:48 Good call.
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: ↳ jillydg @9:48 Nice!

	🎸 ♥ 9:55am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Joe McG @9:54 Ha ha! YES! I loved it. Gotta lotta use out of it
	🎸 ♥ 9:58am steveo: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:55 so jealous--never had an 8-track; but I was absolutely convinced that my radio/cassette/turntable combo was of the FINEST quality
	9:59am Deano de los Muertos: I thought this was a Dylan cover at first
	🎸 ♥ 9:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ Rachel Bo Bachel @9:53 Morning, Rachel!
	🎸 ♥ 9:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:54 Hey, Paul!
	9:59am Brendan: Emerson Lake is a dry lake bed in the Mojave Desert. No mention of Palm trees.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am dday: ↳ Joe McG @9:54 Receivers....Emerson, Lloyds, Dynaco & Radio Shack / Tandy (for the builder types like me) Garrard turntables & of course Pioneer, Marantz & Fisher (for the slightly more upscale buyer). Then if you really had the money Harmon Kardon, Mcintosh, Carver Bang & Olufsson
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am love2laf: ↳ steveo @9:58 The pride we felt in our all-in-one systems that we bought as our first system will always be a highlight of our young selves. I had a seperate turntable, but 8-track, radio, dual cassette system that brought me joy.
	10:01am Hopscotchprince: Rick wakeman selling his vintage moog on reverb
	♥ 10:02am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:50 I'm such a boring shill. Bye
	♥ 10:02am gone with the wind: so good!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am yerfriendpaul: ↳ steveo @9:58 The 8 track didn’t get much use, but I figured I needed it at the time. I remember I had a Charlie Daniel’s Band 8 track (I can’t remember the album name). It made me angry because one of the songs faded out on 1 track, clicked to the next track and faded up to continue. That made no sense to me and still doesn’t ha ha
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: I still can't hear David Bowie's "Yassassin" without anticipating the fade in the middle and the channel clunk.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am yerfriendpaul: Ha ha!
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am Brian in UK: My copy of Working Man's Dead used to jump. I got so used to it that when I heard Uncle John's Band without it; it made me jump!
	🎸 ♥ 10:09am dday: ↳ Joe McG @10:04 So many songs like that. We had two places in town to buy bootleg 8 tracks. One was next to a hot dog stand on Rt. 46 in Elwood Park,NJ a truckers favorite stop & one, believe it or not, was across the street from the Garfield,NJ police station. Paul got busted by the Feds eventually. Serious stuff. Put him out of business. He also sold home audio equipment. We bought our first receiver from him..$100 bucks
	🎸 ♥ 10:10am love2laf: ↳ Song: "We Can't Go Home Again" by "William Tyler & the I... Wow, this had me mesmerized from start to finish, will need to listen to the full album for sure.
	10:10am Hopscotchprince: ↳ Song: "Impregnated by Drops of Rainbow" by "Bobby Lee" When I retire, will buy an organ and a rhythm ace

It was a Christian poem inspired by the book of Revelation & contained the phrase "crystal blue persuasion." I never heard from this kid again. I was so taken with the poem & particularly the phrase crystal blue persuasion, I knew I had to use it in a song."
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Smiling Phases" by "Traffic" Joe, is this the flip of Paper Sun?

	10:37am clarke: it's very similar to The Saint, but a LOT more silly.
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: Jr. Walker kind of invented the "SNL" sax sound on records like this!
	10:38am clarke: i guess it was modeled after I Spy? and It Takes A Thief (which was one of my faves)
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Song: "Don't Be Cruel" by "Bill Black's Combo" This is fantastic!
