	🥁 3:04pm Yvang: ↳ WLSClark @3:02 Hi WLSClark!
	3:04pm Sem: Got a comfortable pew, and ready to go go, Reverend Larry. Hello, congregants.
	🥁 3:05pm Brian in UK: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:02 Clear Light & Love was about as loud as the label got back then.
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:04 Hey Sem!
	🥁 3:05pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:04 Hello Sem. Snowed under?
	🥁 3:05pm WLSClark: ↳ Sem @3:04 Put your hands on the radio and scream out "Hallelujah!"
	3:06pm still b/p: Ah, here where the louche Stoogerati lounge and listen.
	🥁 3:06pm Brian in UK: Do not stare at that Vertigo label or you will go insane.
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:06 Hey sbp!
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:06 See what it did to Ozzy?
	3:08pm Michael 98145: ↳ still b/p @3:06 exactly
	3:10pm Michael 98145: ↳ Brian in UK @3:06 www.artsy.net...
	3:10pm Polyus: ↳ Song: "The Wizard" by "Black Sabbath" I always read this as being about a drug dealer.
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Polyus @3:10 Hi Polyus!
	3:12pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:05 Squire Brian, all shipshape and Bristol fashion now w/ 4 above-freezing days in the forecast. Later this month, the pruning of the grapevines. How is all there?
	🥁 3:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:10 S'funny most photographs I have seen of Salvador Dali, he is wearing a suit & tie. Quite formal for a 'surrealist'.
	3:13pm northguineahills: helloes!
	🥁 3:14pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Street Fighting Man" by "Rod Stewart" 1969? Was Rod still in the Jeff Beck Group when this was recorded?
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:13 Hey NGH!
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:14 If he wasn't it's VERY close to that time
	3:14pm WM: I bought the first Stooges record on vinyl when it originally came out in 1969 and listened to it at least 100 times. I had a chance to hear the New York debut of the MC5 and the Stooges at the N.Y. State Pavilion, but my parents would not let me go because it was on a school night! However, I did eventually catch up with the MC5 at Stonybrook University on Long Island in 1972 (I think). R.I.P. Wayne Kramer.
	🥁 3:14pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:12 To put it bluntly, pissing down. Done most pruning but lots of groundwork to do. So wet under foot.
	3:15pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:14 Tough conditions, but it is early times yet?
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WM @3:14 Hi WM! I wish I'd seen either of those bands in their prime.
	🥁 3:16pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Street Fighting Man" by "Rod Stewart" Nothing quite hits like the drive that Jimmy Miller put on the original.
	🥁 3:17pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Street Fighting Man" by "Rod Stewart" A little bit of "We Love You" snuck in at the end!
	3:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Stone Free" by "Jimi Hendrix Experience" JIMI!!!! (and hi, Larry, listeners)
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:18 Hi Doc!
	3:18pm WM: I always bost about it whenever a DJ on WFMU plays the Stooges or MC5. I also heard Wayne Kramer and MC50 at Irving Plaza back in 2018 (I think).
	3:19pm still b/p: Saw Iggy in -- what would we call it? Mid-career? -- 1977, with Bowie along.
	3:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Brian in UK @3:14 oh, you're talking about gardening....
	3:20pm Michael 98145: Always wish i had seen Jimi live
	🥁 3:21pm David Shortell: ↳ still b/p @3:19 --and Soupy Sales' boys.
	🥁 3:21pm Brian in UK: ↳ northguineahills @3:20 Well, it was not poodle grooming!
	3:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "We're an American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" COWBELL EVERY WEEK!!!
	3:22pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:20 He dropped out of the high school down the street from us.
	3:22pm Andres: Hi, Larry. Digging!
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andres @3:22 Hey Andres!
	3:23pm Andres: ↳ Song: "We're an American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" Song that Nash The Slash taught me!
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andres @3:23 On the violin?!?!
	3:23pm still b/p: ↳ David Shortell @3:21 Yeah. Didn't know the line-up background at the time, learned it since, but manage to keep fergettin'.
	3:23pm Polyus: Those ladies sure cooked up a sophisticated plan.
	3:24pm Andres: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:23 It was in the mix somewhere. :) Totally brings the energy on his version.
	🥁 3:27pm David Shortell: ↳ Andres @3:24 I was going to mention I saw Nash play the song at City Gardens, but I didn't think anybody would know who he was.
	3:28pm Erica: 1969-1970 was a wild period for rock music apparently. Wish I were there.
	3:29pm WM: I'll continue my bost by saying I also owned The Rod Stewart Album when it first came out in 1969 (years before Maggie May).
	3:29pm Michael 98145: woo: mc5music.bandcamp.com...
	3:30pm still b/p: ↳ David Shortell @3:21 Also, Blondie was opening by the date I saw Idiot tour, but I have NO recollection of that! Would've been unknown band to me until a year or two later. But still, that's an odd blank to draw.
	3:30pm holland oats: lovely tribute
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ holland oats @3:30 Thanks HO!
	3:31pm northguineahills: where have we heard his before? 😉
	3:31pm Erica: Bruthahs and sistahs. IT'S TIME TO TESTIFY!!
	3:31pm wenzo: Was that John Sinclair introducing them…?
	3:31pm Sem: ↳ Erica @3:28 We did not know the importance of it at the time; we were teenagers, what did we know?
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ wenzo @3:31 Brother JC Crawford
	🥁 3:33pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:32 Is he known for anything besides this album?
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW IT'S TIME TO....
	3:34pm Erica: ↳ Sem @3:31 I feel the same way about the Rugrats holiday specials. Not too many cartoons make Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Passover special.
	3:34pm Michael 98145: Actually saw John Sinclair in person. At a reading.
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:33 As far as I know, local Detroit/White Panther rabble rouser
	3:34pm Andres: ↳ David Shortell @3:27 Wow! A legend north of the border here.
	3:35pm Erica: ↳ Erica @3:34 By which I mean Christmas with the other three specials.
	3:36pm Erica: Moving on.
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: I was shocked to discover that the single of Kick Out the Jams was a pretty sizable regional hit! las-solanas.com...
	3:40pm CalZone!: RIP BROTHER WAYNE! Oh, and Hiya Larry. 😉
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @3:40 Hey Cal!
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: THANKYA THANKYA THANKYAKINDLY THANKYA
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: BROTHER WAYNE KRAMER!
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @3:40 Cal, you should go back and check out my intro, tribute
	🥁 3:47pm WLSClark: I'll tell ya right now, I missed the MC5 95% in 1969. We were apparently sheltered on radio from their music in kansas. I did BUY "Kick Out the jams" 45 and loved it, but had no idea for years that it was not "Kick out the jams brothers and sisters" as the 45 says. NOW, oh my!
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:47 It's a miracle that the unexpurgated album ever got pressed in 1969
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: And these fucking maniacs...
	🥁 3:49pm WLSClark: I wanna know how the made that 45 edit sound like it WAS those words!!! VERY good edit for what was live sound.
	3:50pm WM: There are several videos on YouTube of Wayne Kramer and MC50. WK sounded as good or better than he ever did. All MC5 should give a listen.
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:49 They probably had Rob Tyner scream it in a mens room stall
	🥁 3:50pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Oh Well" by "Fleetwood Mac" Time for Larry's bathroom break! We listeners are the better for it.
	3:50pm wenzo: Ah.
	🥁 3:50pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:50 Could be!
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:50 I'm still here, rocking out with Peter Green!
	🥁 3:51pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:48 Well I guess that once Jac Holtzman is committed to something he follows it through. At least for a while.
	3:51pm coelacanth∅: it's a miracle Wayne didn't get murdered by the cia/us government or forced in to a psych ward/shock treatment and mind-numbing drugs
	3:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Oh Well" by "Fleetwood Mac" Haim do a nice cover of this-on YouTube youtu.be...
	🥁 3:51pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 Oh well, you didn't give the answer I expected. :)
	🥁 3:52pm WLSClark: enter Clint eastwood....
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: This album is an all time fave of mine
	🥁 3:52pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 This, Man of the World & others leave you begging for more.
	3:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:52 in no small part because jeremy spencer is barely evident ...and of course, enter Danny.
	3:55pm love2laf: I am late, I apologise, and thank you for the MC5, really nice set, thank you Larry. Hello fellow testifiers, hope you're not feeling testy!
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @3:55 Hey love2laf!
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:55 Jeremy Spencer, the vestigial member of Fleetwood Mac
	3:58pm coelacanth∅: hola love2laf ...Larry haha yup
	🥁 4:03pm WLSClark: What a great time piece song.
	4:03pm Erica: I can tell David Bowie wrote this. It has that Bowieism melody to it
	4:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "All the Young Dudes" by "Mott the Hoople" Always loved this!
	4:04pm love2laf: ↳ Erica @4:03 I am this many years old when I found out that this isn't Bowie. sigh my ignorance contains multitudes.
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: Straight up ANTHEM
	4:05pm hopey: ↳ Erica @4:03 Absolutely! This song is so good it brings tears to my eyes.
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ hopey @4:05 Hi hopey! Same here.
	🥁 4:06pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "New York Groove" by "Ace Frehley" Ace's best and my fave of their solos.
	4:06pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @4:04 You're not completely wrong as David Bowie gave this song to Mott the Hoople to sing, which is why it sounds like Bowie.
	4:07pm Erica: I learned this fact from WatchMojo UK
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:06 It's also arranged, produced and features sax by Bowie
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:06 I was telling my sons about when these albums came out, and how like 80% of them had to be bulldozed into a pit somewhere
	4:08pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:07 Now that's talented.
	4:08pm love2laf: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:07 Thanks to you both I'm learning how very Bowie the Mott song is, always a good thing.
	4:09pm Candy-O'67: Hey Larry and all! Lovin' the show today! Playing some favorites!
	4:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:09 Hey Candy-O!
	🥁 4:09pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:08 Ha. Not sure about that. Only tables at record convetions here where an entire table would be devoted to one artist: Kiss.
	🥁 4:10pm WLSClark: Candy!!!
	4:10pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @4:10 Hey Clark! Rockin' out!
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:09 I remember heaps of those albums polluting the bargain bin for a LONG time
	🥁 4:11pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Jet" by "Paul McCartney and Wings" You may note that many Jet 45s have an intro time listed at :03. Instead it is like :27. The DJ 45 had the version you hear here while the AM side DID have a 3 second intro and they moved parts around in the version to make it same length!! I have it, luckily.
	🥁 4:12pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:10 Back then, yes. I agree. BUT they took on a new life in last decades again.
	4:13pm wenzo: dishin’ out the hits today!
	4:17pm Andres: Who was asking for more cowbell earlier? Delivered!
	4:18pm Erica: Don't Fear the Reaper is one of the best songs to hear on Halloween and year round.
	4:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Don't Fear the Reaper" by "Blue Oyster Cult" MORE COWBELL! COWBELL RULES!!!
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: Actually the hidden theme in today's show is the love life of Patti Smith, featuring her husband Fred and her previous boyfriend Alan Lanier of the BOC
	🥁 4:19pm WLSClark: ↳ Andres @4:17 Dont start THAT again!!!
	4:19pm iko: Peace and greetings everyone:)
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ iko @4:19 Hey iko!
	4:19pm Erica: Hi iko.
	4:20pm Polyus: Re: MC5 taking their stage influence from R&B bands - I saw a Detroit Free Press article last weekend in which Ted Nugent said exact same thing. He probably mostly said that because he wanted to trash the hippies though.
	4:21pm iko: @Funky16Corners thanks for a great show!
	4:21pm iko: @Erica heya how's it going!
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ iko @4:21 My pleasure,always!
	4:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @4:19 You don't like cowbell percussion?
	🥁 4:22pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "He's Waiting" by "Sonics" The documentary was made in 2018 but has only played at festivals until this year. sonicsfilm.com
	🥁 4:24pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @4:22 Thats not it. I just think the SNL references make the cowbell seem diminished as an instrument these days.
	🥁 4:24pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Don't Lie To Me" by "Big Star" Think of Fanny as doing this!
	4:25pm Sem: Wild about Harry.
	4:27pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:18 Cool!
	🥁 4:28pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Jump Into the Fire" by "Nilsson" He was great esp these years.
	4:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Jump Into the Fire" by "Nilsson" me and my younger sister in the back of our older sister's boyfriend's '68 firebird with the bass way up. first time hearing a good car sound system. revelatory
	4:29pm coelacanth∅: (except it was the album version! with the descending bass runs during the drum breakdown)
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: Back in the day these guys were THE SHIT live. One of the best/my fave bands to see in person
	4:30pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "Don't Give It Up Now" by "Lyres" Love Lyres! Got to see them right before pandemic at Beerland when it was still a club here! I was right up front and Jeff had his organ on top of a milk crate! Freakin' fantastic show!!
	4:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:09 greetings Candy!
	4:31pm Candy-O'67: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:31 Hey coel!
	4:34pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "I Want You Back" by "Hoodoo Gurus" Already got my tics to see them at Antone's this September in Austin! Haven't seen them before. Excited! It's a smaller venue. It will be awesome, I'm sure!
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:34 They're still great!
	4:35pm coelacanth∅: i personally think as long as the cowbell and the kazoo have an equal representation in rock music we're good.
	4:35pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:35 Can't wait!
	4:36pm Candy-O'67: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:35 Truth!
	🥁 4:38pm WLSClark: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:35 Well, ya gotta admit the cowbell is "heavier."
	4:40pm coelacanth∅: clunk clunk clunk clunk...
	🥁 4:40pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Big Boy" by "Sparks" Wonder Girl by Sparks was #1 in Omaha in 72 and looking back, it seems like the first ever PUNK 45.
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:40 Always unique
	4:43pm coelacanth∅: ...it's good in don't fear the reaper. in fact that song's perfect. occasionally used well by the beatles and ccr; occasionally not ("i call your name"clunk clunk clunk clunk!) new riders of the purple sage used it nicely at the beginning of "hello, mary lou", and of course it's often used well in latin music...
	🥁 4:43pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:41 Guaranteed.
	🥁 4:44pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "The Wanton Song" by "Led Zeppelin" Also unique dudes. Unless they are stealing in the name of song.
	4:47pm winston legthigh: late to the party, rock and roll larry and listeners!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ winston legthigh @4:47 Hi winston!
	4:48pm Andres: ↳ Song: "When the Levee Breaks" by "Led Zeppelin" High school party anthem.
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andres @4:48 Oh yeah...bong bubbles all day long
	🥁 4:50pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:49 Dont spill it or it will stink for days. ;)
	4:51pm Erica: ↳ WLSClark @4:50 Just like milk.
	🥁 4:52pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @4:51 It happened often on our pass around couch.
	4:53pm love2laf: Thank you Larry, loved the music you brought to our ears today. Cheers everyone, have a great evening.
	4:54pm Erica: ↳ WLSClark @4:52 Oh man. :( And they say don't cry over spilled milk
	4:54pm Sem: Thanks so much, Reverend Heavy. Been big fun. See you and all next time.

	4:58pm Funky16Corners: THANKYA THANKYA THANKYA THANKYA!
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	4:59pm Candy-O'67: Thx, Larry! Killer show! Enjoyed it!

	3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:03 Hi Erica!
	🥁 3:04pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @3:03 I wanna be Moe, but look more like Larry.
	🥁 3:04pm Yvang: ↳ WLSClark @3:02 Hi WLSClark!
	3:04pm Sem: Got a comfortable pew, and ready to go go, Reverend Larry. Hello, congregants.
	🥁 3:05pm Brian in UK: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:02 Clear Light & Love was about as loud as the label got back then.
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:04 Hey Sem!
	🥁 3:05pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:04 Hello Sem. Snowed under?
	🥁 3:05pm WLSClark: ↳ Sem @3:04 Put your hands on the radio and scream out "Hallelujah!"
	3:06pm still b/p: Ah, here where the louche Stoogerati lounge and listen.
	🥁 3:06pm Brian in UK: Do not stare at that Vertigo label or you will go insane.
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:06 Hey sbp!
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:06 See what it did to Ozzy?
	3:08pm Michael 98145: ↳ still b/p @3:06 exactly
	3:10pm Michael 98145: ↳ Brian in UK @3:06 www.artsy.net...
	3:10pm Polyus: ↳ Song: "The Wizard" by "Black Sabbath" I always read this as being about a drug dealer.
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Polyus @3:10 Hi Polyus!
	3:12pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:05 Squire Brian, all shipshape and Bristol fashion now w/ 4 above-freezing days in the forecast. Later this month, the pruning of the grapevines. How is all there?
	🥁 3:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:10 S'funny most photographs I have seen of Salvador Dali, he is wearing a suit & tie. Quite formal for a 'surrealist'.
	3:13pm northguineahills: helloes!
	🥁 3:14pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Street Fighting Man" by "Rod Stewart" 1969? Was Rod still in the Jeff Beck Group when this was recorded?
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:13 Hey NGH!
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:14 If he wasn't it's VERY close to that time
	3:14pm WM: I bought the first Stooges record on vinyl when it originally came out in 1969 and listened to it at least 100 times. I had a chance to hear the New York debut of the MC5 and the Stooges at the N.Y. State Pavilion, but my parents would not let me go because it was on a school night! However, I did eventually catch up with the MC5 at Stonybrook University on Long Island in 1972 (I think). R.I.P. Wayne Kramer.
	🥁 3:14pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:12 To put it bluntly, pissing down. Done most pruning but lots of groundwork to do. So wet under foot.
	3:15pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:14 Tough conditions, but it is early times yet?
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WM @3:14 Hi WM! I wish I'd seen either of those bands in their prime.
	🥁 3:16pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Street Fighting Man" by "Rod Stewart" Nothing quite hits like the drive that Jimmy Miller put on the original.
	🥁 3:17pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Street Fighting Man" by "Rod Stewart" A little bit of "We Love You" snuck in at the end!
	3:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Stone Free" by "Jimi Hendrix Experience" JIMI!!!! (and hi, Larry, listeners)
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:18 Hi Doc!
	3:18pm WM: I always bost about it whenever a DJ on WFMU plays the Stooges or MC5. I also heard Wayne Kramer and MC50 at Irving Plaza back in 2018 (I think).
	3:19pm still b/p: Saw Iggy in -- what would we call it? Mid-career? -- 1977, with Bowie along.
	3:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Brian in UK @3:14 oh, you're talking about gardening....
	3:20pm Michael 98145: Always wish i had seen Jimi live
	🥁 3:21pm David Shortell: ↳ still b/p @3:19 --and Soupy Sales' boys.
	🥁 3:21pm Brian in UK: ↳ northguineahills @3:20 Well, it was not poodle grooming!
	3:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "We're an American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" COWBELL EVERY WEEK!!!
	3:22pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:20 He dropped out of the high school down the street from us.
	3:22pm Andres: Hi, Larry. Digging!
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andres @3:22 Hey Andres!
	3:23pm Andres: ↳ Song: "We're an American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" Song that Nash The Slash taught me!
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andres @3:23 On the violin?!?!
	3:23pm still b/p: ↳ David Shortell @3:21 Yeah. Didn't know the line-up background at the time, learned it since, but manage to keep fergettin'.
	3:23pm Polyus: Those ladies sure cooked up a sophisticated plan.
	3:24pm Andres: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:23 It was in the mix somewhere. :) Totally brings the energy on his version.
	🥁 3:27pm David Shortell: ↳ Andres @3:24 I was going to mention I saw Nash play the song at City Gardens, but I didn't think anybody would know who he was.
	3:28pm Erica: 1969-1970 was a wild period for rock music apparently. Wish I were there.
	3:29pm WM: I'll continue my bost by saying I also owned The Rod Stewart Album when it first came out in 1969 (years before Maggie May).
	3:29pm Michael 98145: woo: mc5music.bandcamp.com...
	3:30pm still b/p: ↳ David Shortell @3:21 Also, Blondie was opening by the date I saw Idiot tour, but I have NO recollection of that! Would've been unknown band to me until a year or two later. But still, that's an odd blank to draw.
	3:30pm holland oats: lovely tribute
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ holland oats @3:30 Thanks HO!
	3:31pm northguineahills: where have we heard his before? 😉
	3:31pm Erica: Bruthahs and sistahs. IT'S TIME TO TESTIFY!!
	3:31pm wenzo: Was that John Sinclair introducing them…?
	3:31pm Sem: ↳ Erica @3:28 We did not know the importance of it at the time; we were teenagers, what did we know?
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ wenzo @3:31 Brother JC Crawford
	🥁 3:33pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:32 Is he known for anything besides this album?
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW IT'S TIME TO....
	3:34pm Erica: ↳ Sem @3:31 I feel the same way about the Rugrats holiday specials. Not too many cartoons make Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Passover special.
	3:34pm Michael 98145: Actually saw John Sinclair in person. At a reading.
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:33 As far as I know, local Detroit/White Panther rabble rouser
	3:34pm Andres: ↳ David Shortell @3:27 Wow! A legend north of the border here.
	3:35pm Erica: ↳ Erica @3:34 By which I mean Christmas with the other three specials.
	3:36pm Erica: Moving on.
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: I was shocked to discover that the single of Kick Out the Jams was a pretty sizable regional hit! las-solanas.com...
	3:40pm CalZone!: RIP BROTHER WAYNE! Oh, and Hiya Larry. 😉
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @3:40 Hey Cal!
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: THANKYA THANKYA THANKYAKINDLY THANKYA
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: BROTHER WAYNE KRAMER!
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @3:40 Cal, you should go back and check out my intro, tribute
	🥁 3:47pm WLSClark: I'll tell ya right now, I missed the MC5 95% in 1969. We were apparently sheltered on radio from their music in kansas. I did BUY "Kick Out the jams" 45 and loved it, but had no idea for years that it was not "Kick out the jams brothers and sisters" as the 45 says. NOW, oh my!
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:47 It's a miracle that the unexpurgated album ever got pressed in 1969
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: And these fucking maniacs...
	🥁 3:49pm WLSClark: I wanna know how the made that 45 edit sound like it WAS those words!!! VERY good edit for what was live sound.
	3:50pm WM: There are several videos on YouTube of Wayne Kramer and MC50. WK sounded as good or better than he ever did. All MC5 should give a listen.
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:49 They probably had Rob Tyner scream it in a mens room stall
	🥁 3:50pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Oh Well" by "Fleetwood Mac" Time for Larry's bathroom break! We listeners are the better for it.
	3:50pm wenzo: Ah.
	🥁 3:50pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:50 Could be!
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:50 I'm still here, rocking out with Peter Green!
	🥁 3:51pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:48 Well I guess that once Jac Holtzman is committed to something he follows it through. At least for a while.
	3:51pm coelacanth∅: it's a miracle Wayne didn't get murdered by the cia/us government or forced in to a psych ward/shock treatment and mind-numbing drugs
	3:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Oh Well" by "Fleetwood Mac" Haim do a nice cover of this-on YouTube youtu.be...
	🥁 3:51pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 Oh well, you didn't give the answer I expected. :)
	🥁 3:52pm WLSClark: enter Clint eastwood....
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: This album is an all time fave of mine
	🥁 3:52pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 This, Man of the World & others leave you begging for more.
	3:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:52 in no small part because jeremy spencer is barely evident ...and of course, enter Danny.
	3:55pm love2laf: I am late, I apologise, and thank you for the MC5, really nice set, thank you Larry. Hello fellow testifiers, hope you're not feeling testy!
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @3:55 Hey love2laf!
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:55 Jeremy Spencer, the vestigial member of Fleetwood Mac
	3:58pm coelacanth∅: hola love2laf ...Larry haha yup
	🥁 4:03pm WLSClark: What a great time piece song.
	4:03pm Erica: I can tell David Bowie wrote this. It has that Bowieism melody to it
	4:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "All the Young Dudes" by "Mott the Hoople" Always loved this!
	4:04pm love2laf: ↳ Erica @4:03 I am this many years old when I found out that this isn't Bowie. sigh my ignorance contains multitudes.
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: Straight up ANTHEM
	4:05pm hopey: ↳ Erica @4:03 Absolutely! This song is so good it brings tears to my eyes.
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ hopey @4:05 Hi hopey! Same here.
	🥁 4:06pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "New York Groove" by "Ace Frehley" Ace's best and my fave of their solos.
	4:06pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @4:04 You're not completely wrong as David Bowie gave this song to Mott the Hoople to sing, which is why it sounds like Bowie.
	4:07pm Erica: I learned this fact from WatchMojo UK
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:06 It's also arranged, produced and features sax by Bowie
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:06 I was telling my sons about when these albums came out, and how like 80% of them had to be bulldozed into a pit somewhere
	4:08pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:07 Now that's talented.
	4:08pm love2laf: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:07 Thanks to you both I'm learning how very Bowie the Mott song is, always a good thing.
	4:09pm Candy-O'67: Hey Larry and all! Lovin' the show today! Playing some favorites!
	4:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:09 Hey Candy-O!
	🥁 4:09pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:08 Ha. Not sure about that. Only tables at record convetions here where an entire table would be devoted to one artist: Kiss.
	🥁 4:10pm WLSClark: Candy!!!
	4:10pm Candy-O'67: ↳ WLSClark @4:10 Hey Clark! Rockin' out!
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:09 I remember heaps of those albums polluting the bargain bin for a LONG time
	🥁 4:11pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Jet" by "Paul McCartney and Wings" You may note that many Jet 45s have an intro time listed at :03. Instead it is like :27. The DJ 45 had the version you hear here while the AM side DID have a 3 second intro and they moved parts around in the version to make it same length!! I have it, luckily.
	🥁 4:12pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:10 Back then, yes. I agree. BUT they took on a new life in last decades again.
	4:13pm wenzo: dishin’ out the hits today!
	4:17pm Andres: Who was asking for more cowbell earlier? Delivered!
	4:18pm Erica: Don't Fear the Reaper is one of the best songs to hear on Halloween and year round.
	4:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Don't Fear the Reaper" by "Blue Oyster Cult" MORE COWBELL! COWBELL RULES!!!
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: Actually the hidden theme in today's show is the love life of Patti Smith, featuring her husband Fred and her previous boyfriend Alan Lanier of the BOC
	🥁 4:19pm WLSClark: ↳ Andres @4:17 Dont start THAT again!!!
	4:19pm iko: Peace and greetings everyone:)
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ iko @4:19 Hey iko!
	4:19pm Erica: Hi iko.
	4:20pm Polyus: Re: MC5 taking their stage influence from R&B bands - I saw a Detroit Free Press article last weekend in which Ted Nugent said exact same thing. He probably mostly said that because he wanted to trash the hippies though.
	4:21pm iko: @Funky16Corners thanks for a great show!
	4:21pm iko: @Erica heya how's it going!
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ iko @4:21 My pleasure,always!
	4:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @4:19 You don't like cowbell percussion?
	🥁 4:22pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "He's Waiting" by "Sonics" The documentary was made in 2018 but has only played at festivals until this year. sonicsfilm.com
	🥁 4:24pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @4:22 Thats not it. I just think the SNL references make the cowbell seem diminished as an instrument these days.
	🥁 4:24pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Don't Lie To Me" by "Big Star" Think of Fanny as doing this!
	4:25pm Sem: Wild about Harry.
	4:27pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:18 Cool!
	🥁 4:28pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Jump Into the Fire" by "Nilsson" He was great esp these years.
	4:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Jump Into the Fire" by "Nilsson" me and my younger sister in the back of our older sister's boyfriend's '68 firebird with the bass way up. first time hearing a good car sound system. revelatory
	4:29pm coelacanth∅: (except it was the album version! with the descending bass runs during the drum breakdown)
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: Back in the day these guys were THE SHIT live. One of the best/my fave bands to see in person
	4:30pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "Don't Give It Up Now" by "Lyres" Love Lyres! Got to see them right before pandemic at Beerland when it was still a club here! I was right up front and Jeff had his organ on top of a milk crate! Freakin' fantastic show!!
	4:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:09 greetings Candy!
	4:31pm Candy-O'67: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:31 Hey coel!
	4:34pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "I Want You Back" by "Hoodoo Gurus" Already got my tics to see them at Antone's this September in Austin! Haven't seen them before. Excited! It's a smaller venue. It will be awesome, I'm sure!
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:34 They're still great!
	4:35pm coelacanth∅: i personally think as long as the cowbell and the kazoo have an equal representation in rock music we're good.
	4:35pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:35 Can't wait!
	4:36pm Candy-O'67: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:35 Truth!
	🥁 4:38pm WLSClark: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:35 Well, ya gotta admit the cowbell is "heavier."
	4:40pm coelacanth∅: clunk clunk clunk clunk...
	🥁 4:40pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Big Boy" by "Sparks" Wonder Girl by Sparks was #1 in Omaha in 72 and looking back, it seems like the first ever PUNK 45.
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:40 Always unique
	4:43pm coelacanth∅: ...it's good in don't fear the reaper. in fact that song's perfect. occasionally used well by the beatles and ccr; occasionally not ("i call your name"clunk clunk clunk clunk!) new riders of the purple sage used it nicely at the beginning of "hello, mary lou", and of course it's often used well in latin music...
	🥁 4:43pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:41 Guaranteed.
	🥁 4:44pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "The Wanton Song" by "Led Zeppelin" Also unique dudes. Unless they are stealing in the name of song.
	4:47pm winston legthigh: late to the party, rock and roll larry and listeners!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ winston legthigh @4:47 Hi winston!
	4:48pm Andres: ↳ Song: "When the Levee Breaks" by "Led Zeppelin" High school party anthem.
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andres @4:48 Oh yeah...bong bubbles all day long
	🥁 4:50pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:49 Dont spill it or it will stink for days. ;)
	4:51pm Erica: ↳ WLSClark @4:50 Just like milk.
	🥁 4:52pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @4:51 It happened often on our pass around couch.
	4:53pm love2laf: Thank you Larry, loved the music you brought to our ears today. Cheers everyone, have a great evening.
	4:54pm Erica: ↳ WLSClark @4:52 Oh man. :( And they say don't cry over spilled milk
	4:54pm Sem: Thanks so much, Reverend Heavy. Been big fun. See you and all next time.
