Listener comments!
	11:00am Listener Baby: I like to appeal to seniors everywhere. Good morning all! What is shaking, Baby?
	11:01am Mister Dobalina: Michael, you've had a change of heart and want to give up?
	11:02am Mister Dobalina: Ain't nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees.
	11:04am Handy Haversack: Morning, all.
	11:05am Frank In Queens: Hello hello.
	11:11am Juke Joint Jonny: Boy this All Over Now is kicking ass
	11:15am andy fuchs: Bola Sete...whoa. Heard the name, never heard him play....seriously good.
	11:16am Dean: Source for this Pilot take? Quite something.
	11:17am Frank In Queens: Wow, this version is WAY better!
	11:17am Baja Joe: This is the stuff of ear worms.
	11:18am Zephyr in Montclair: Oh man. What a version. Possibly one of the greatest songs ever written. Todd Rundgren wishes he wrote it.
	11:19am Frank In Queens: This is "Las Jóvenes Sinvergüenzas" right here!
	11:30am Hughie Considine: I love a nice jiggly dessert.
	11:31am Frank In Queens: We watched Caligula, so our Valentine's Day was great! Thanks for asking!
	11:32am andy fuchs: What you give is what you get, obviously the writer loved "tax man" huh ?
	11:33am Webhamster Henry: This show is pure sugar shock.
	11:33am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: If you go visit Ronnie Hawkins in Arkansas he'll tell you stories that would make Caligula blush!
	11:33am Michael Shelley: Is Caligula a good film?
	11:37am Earth Walker: That a nice way of things happening Cash and Dylan
	11:37am andy fuchs: Caligula...in one world "bizarre".
	11:38am John from NP: Depends how one defines "good"
	11:41am Hughie Considine: I only saw it for the historical research.
	11:42am Frank In Queens: Caligula is not a good film, although it does have some decent qualities, mostly in how extravagant the whole production is. But it is definitely worth a view just to experience it.
	11:43am Frank In Queens: @Todd, I think Ronnie hinted about that in the Rolling Thunder movie.
	11:44am Handy Haversack: I made a new pasta -- orechiette in broccoli sauce. It was pretty good. Kate liked it. I think it needed lemon. Also Rob Roys, which everyone loves. We don't really celebrate V day but it coincided with the day before Kate was to leave town for a few days and a Friday and SheilaB's amazing show, so why not have some fun.
	11:45am Frank In Queens: @Handy, please tell me more about this "broccoli sauce".
	11:47am Hughie Considine: Per IMDB: "According to Malcolm McDowell, while filming the scene where Tiberius stabs a drunken soldier, Peter O'Toole was supposed to ram this sword into a concealed rubber bladder that contained blood, wine and chicken gizzards to look like a man's innards. He placed the sword under the plate and snapped it up with such force, it hit the actor in the face and knocked him out. But the sword didn't pierce the bladder and the goat skin, with all the wine and gizzards literally bounced a few times. Then O'Toole quipped, "I think she's dropped her fucking handbag!"
	11:48am Jett: I love Evie Sands! She's so awesome. Highly underrated!!!
	11:49am Todd-o-phonic Todd: You didn't get paid? They gave me $1k for mine.
	11:52am Crei6hton: Good afternoon
	11:52am Listener Baby: Our illustrious leader, Michael Shelley is also an acclaimed music writer/historian. Please read this amazing interview with Carol Kaye. pleasekillme.com...
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Frank in Queens: Basically, steam a big bunch of small florets. Saute garlic (~6 cloves) in some olive oil with a nice pinch of chili flakes. Add broc, two cups of veg. stock, a tsp. of miso paste or the like, some salt and pepper. Smash the broc into even smaller pieces. Get it hot then cook like 15 mins. until it's reduced. Cook the pasta while this is going on. Drain but keep some pasta water in case you need it. Toss the pasta into the sauce. Add water if you want. Top with shredded parm and/or kalamata olives or whatever you like.
	11:53am Handy Haversack: I'd add some lemon juice into the stock next time and/or top with lemon zest, I think.
	11:54am Juke Joint Jonny: I like this simultaneous laid back and impossibly busy groove on this Ike & Tina thing
	11:54am Cabbage: Quick question: what is a fair wage for a Philadelphia cafe worker? Like, for Kitchen staff who don't receive tips... And for Baristas who do... ( I don't think tips shd be a factor in determining fair wage tho.)
	11:57am Juke Joint Jonny: New wave
	11:57am Frank In Queens: @Handy: Thanks for that! Sounds great! Gonna a give it a try in a few weeks.
	11:58am Cabbage: Granted, that's not a "quick" or simple Q, but it's pressing on me.
	11:59am Frank In Queens: @Handy: yes, broccoli and lemon is an ace combination. My grandmother used to make broccoli with garlic, lemon juice, and a bit of vinegar and it's still my fave way to eat it.
	11:59am Michael Shelley: Great question at the heart of a lot of political discussion and decisions being made now
	11:59am Aaron in Minneapolis: Kenzo if your around I have a bug report for you. Safari on iOS 13.3.3 the comments aren’t loading at all
	12:01pm Moammar: @michael shelley: Let's not let divisive politics infect the enjoyment of pasta. You were talking about the broccoli sauce, right?
	12:03pm Juke Joint Jonny: Does Rex know you've got his record box?
	12:05pm Handy Haversack: Does WFMU still take donations of cars? Mine ... died.
	12:07pm Todd in RVA: Re: Chet Atkins song. He put this out bc he has about 856 other records and he probably just said "why the f not" ?
	12:09pm johnzo: my dad got me that album when I was 10 or 11 or 12... musta listened to it every day
	12:12pm Susan C.: Michael, foam rubber furniture? You must be talking about Gufram furniture. My husband and I were importers of it when it was reissued in the 80’s. Pop art furniture designed by a group of Italian architects. Fun stuff!
	12:12pm McGroovey: Last time I was in Rochester, I went to the Record Archive to buy all the Hi-Risers records I elected not to buy the time before that, but they were ALL SOLD OUT! FuhFAHFAH-fudge.
	12:12pm Handy Haversack: Those would go great with a Three Chord Monte beer coozy!
	12:13pm Todd in RVA: Re: The Valentinos (It's All Over Now) - Mike, you were puzzled by the drum beat? That beat is the quintessential NOLA street drum beat derived from the Congo Square rhythms from the Caribbean and Africa. That drum beat is in 100s of super funky NOLA tracks through the ages. "Street Parade" by Earl King comes immediately to mind of the top of my head.
	12:13pm McGroovey: Wait. Hi-RiDers? Who TF.
	12:14pm Michael Shelley: Puzzled by who the drummer is
	12:14pm davefromtoronto: they're real chimps! i googled it.
	12:15pm davefromtoronto: did neil diamond write that?
	12:15pm Todd in RVA: Oh gotcha! My apologies. Earl Palmer?
	12:15pm daniel kirk: Wow, that "Fightin' Side of Me" is a terrible earworm! I was in the car and couldn't write when you played it, but this was the first time I ever noticed that the verbs "run" and "walk" are both in the chorus, and the words don't really make sense. How can someone be running and walking at the same time, but you're in danger if you're walking when the redneck comes to get you for insulting his country. Just an observation! Maybe we need to just keep runnin'.
	12:15pm Frank Zaatar: Sounds like Fake Mickey is singing it rather than Fake Davy.
	12:15pm MFlynn: Davey Jones vocals are a little subdued.
	12:20pm ratso: Possibly the best song on this album
	12:20pm Jett: Nuke the Knack!
	12:21pm egould310: The Knack’s best songs were the ones that were not promoted as singles. Good choice, Michael.
	12:25pm Todd in RVA: Re: Drums The Valentinos (All Over Now). Earl Palmer moved to LA in '57 so it may very well be him on the cut.
	12:29pm Moammar: Am I the only one who finds this Charley Crockett side a little ... somnolent?
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: @Frank in Queens -- very welcome. I am glad to see that as powerful as it is, Newtown Creek cannot divide pasta lovers in Brooklyn and Queens from finding a way to trade recipes!
	12:32pm Moammar: Now this Hawks song is one of the best things ever laid down. Can't understand how it's not ubiquitous.
	12:33pm Moammar: The funkiest thing ever to come out of Canada. (With the Arkansas assist.)
	12:34pm DJ Guin: @Michael...what makes your skin crawl about said Robbie Robertson? IMHO..he seems way too self important..as if HE was The Band.
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: Earl Played on a lot of Sam Cooke work - and Hal Blane played on some - but that just doesn't sound like either, to me
	12:36pm Michael Shelley: DJG- yup
	12:37pm Don Gorden: Wow, A new Charley Crockett fan, needed to hear Change Yo mind again. and I'm not a country fan.
	12:41pm davefromtoronto: i love the story of ronnie hawkins belly laughing at how pretentious RR came off in the Last Waltz
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: Gotta log off and dedicate all bandwidth to registering for games at a D&D convention in Wisconsin, which is a normal thing that lots of people are probably saying right now. But thanks for the tunes, Michael!
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: @Handy: And to return the favor, this is what we made last night. We used Trader Joe's Kale Gnocchi, and added more lemon juice (of course), but it was quite good! cooking.nytimes.com...
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, @Frank! Will check out (after games are sorted).
	12:57pm Erm: hmmmmmm...releasing without permission someone's personal tapes of their struggles with weight loss, drugs and sanity = the utmost respect?
	12:57pm Moammar: Oi, this is invasive and creepy. Sorry.
	12:59pm Moammar: Selling it with a pill box is vile.
	12:59pm davefromtoronto: zzzzzzz

	11:45am Frank In Queens: @Handy, please tell me more about this "broccoli sauce".
	11:47am Hughie Considine: Per IMDB: "According to Malcolm McDowell, while filming the scene where Tiberius stabs a drunken soldier, Peter O'Toole was supposed to ram this sword into a concealed rubber bladder that contained blood, wine and chicken gizzards to look like a man's innards. He placed the sword under the plate and snapped it up with such force, it hit the actor in the face and knocked him out. But the sword didn't pierce the bladder and the goat skin, with all the wine and gizzards literally bounced a few times. Then O'Toole quipped, "I think she's dropped her fucking handbag!"
	11:48am Jett: I love Evie Sands! She's so awesome. Highly underrated!!!
	11:49am Todd-o-phonic Todd: You didn't get paid? They gave me $1k for mine.
	11:52am Crei6hton: Good afternoon
	11:52am Listener Baby: Our illustrious leader, Michael Shelley is also an acclaimed music writer/historian. Please read this amazing interview with Carol Kaye. pleasekillme.com...
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Frank in Queens: Basically, steam a big bunch of small florets. Saute garlic (~6 cloves) in some olive oil with a nice pinch of chili flakes. Add broc, two cups of veg. stock, a tsp. of miso paste or the like, some salt and pepper. Smash the broc into even smaller pieces. Get it hot then cook like 15 mins. until it's reduced. Cook the pasta while this is going on. Drain but keep some pasta water in case you need it. Toss the pasta into the sauce. Add water if you want. Top with shredded parm and/or kalamata olives or whatever you like.
	11:53am Handy Haversack: I'd add some lemon juice into the stock next time and/or top with lemon zest, I think.
	11:54am Juke Joint Jonny: I like this simultaneous laid back and impossibly busy groove on this Ike & Tina thing
	11:54am Cabbage: Quick question: what is a fair wage for a Philadelphia cafe worker? Like, for Kitchen staff who don't receive tips... And for Baristas who do... ( I don't think tips shd be a factor in determining fair wage tho.)
	11:57am Juke Joint Jonny: New wave
	11:57am Frank In Queens: @Handy: Thanks for that! Sounds great! Gonna a give it a try in a few weeks.
	11:58am Cabbage: Granted, that's not a "quick" or simple Q, but it's pressing on me.
	11:59am Frank In Queens: @Handy: yes, broccoli and lemon is an ace combination. My grandmother used to make broccoli with garlic, lemon juice, and a bit of vinegar and it's still my fave way to eat it.
	11:59am Michael Shelley: Great question at the heart of a lot of political discussion and decisions being made now
	11:59am Aaron in Minneapolis: Kenzo if your around I have a bug report for you. Safari on iOS 13.3.3 the comments aren’t loading at all
	12:01pm Moammar: @michael shelley: Let's not let divisive politics infect the enjoyment of pasta. You were talking about the broccoli sauce, right?
	12:03pm Juke Joint Jonny: Does Rex know you've got his record box?
	12:05pm Handy Haversack: Does WFMU still take donations of cars? Mine ... died.
	12:07pm Todd in RVA: Re: Chet Atkins song. He put this out bc he has about 856 other records and he probably just said "why the f not" ?
	12:09pm johnzo: my dad got me that album when I was 10 or 11 or 12... musta listened to it every day
	12:12pm Susan C.: Michael, foam rubber furniture? You must be talking about Gufram furniture. My husband and I were importers of it when it was reissued in the 80’s. Pop art furniture designed by a group of Italian architects. Fun stuff!
	12:12pm McGroovey: Last time I was in Rochester, I went to the Record Archive to buy all the Hi-Risers records I elected not to buy the time before that, but they were ALL SOLD OUT! FuhFAHFAH-fudge.
	12:12pm Handy Haversack: Those would go great with a Three Chord Monte beer coozy!
	12:13pm Todd in RVA: Re: The Valentinos (It's All Over Now) - Mike, you were puzzled by the drum beat? That beat is the quintessential NOLA street drum beat derived from the Congo Square rhythms from the Caribbean and Africa. That drum beat is in 100s of super funky NOLA tracks through the ages. "Street Parade" by Earl King comes immediately to mind of the top of my head.
	12:13pm McGroovey: Wait. Hi-RiDers? Who TF.
	12:14pm Michael Shelley: Puzzled by who the drummer is
	12:14pm davefromtoronto: they're real chimps! i googled it.
	12:15pm davefromtoronto: did neil diamond write that?
	12:15pm Todd in RVA: Oh gotcha! My apologies. Earl Palmer?
	12:15pm daniel kirk: Wow, that "Fightin' Side of Me" is a terrible earworm! I was in the car and couldn't write when you played it, but this was the first time I ever noticed that the verbs "run" and "walk" are both in the chorus, and the words don't really make sense. How can someone be running and walking at the same time, but you're in danger if you're walking when the redneck comes to get you for insulting his country. Just an observation! Maybe we need to just keep runnin'.
	12:15pm Frank Zaatar: Sounds like Fake Mickey is singing it rather than Fake Davy.
	12:15pm MFlynn: Davey Jones vocals are a little subdued.
	12:20pm ratso: Possibly the best song on this album
	12:20pm Jett: Nuke the Knack!
	12:21pm egould310: The Knack’s best songs were the ones that were not promoted as singles. Good choice, Michael.
	12:25pm Todd in RVA: Re: Drums The Valentinos (All Over Now). Earl Palmer moved to LA in '57 so it may very well be him on the cut.
	12:29pm Moammar: Am I the only one who finds this Charley Crockett side a little ... somnolent?
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: @Frank in Queens -- very welcome. I am glad to see that as powerful as it is, Newtown Creek cannot divide pasta lovers in Brooklyn and Queens from finding a way to trade recipes!
	12:32pm Moammar: Now this Hawks song is one of the best things ever laid down. Can't understand how it's not ubiquitous.
	12:33pm Moammar: The funkiest thing ever to come out of Canada. (With the Arkansas assist.)
	12:34pm DJ Guin: @Michael...what makes your skin crawl about said Robbie Robertson? IMHO..he seems way too self important..as if HE was The Band.
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: Earl Played on a lot of Sam Cooke work - and Hal Blane played on some - but that just doesn't sound like either, to me
	12:36pm Michael Shelley: DJG- yup
	12:37pm Don Gorden: Wow, A new Charley Crockett fan, needed to hear Change Yo mind again. and I'm not a country fan.
	12:41pm davefromtoronto: i love the story of ronnie hawkins belly laughing at how pretentious RR came off in the Last Waltz
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: Gotta log off and dedicate all bandwidth to registering for games at a D&D convention in Wisconsin, which is a normal thing that lots of people are probably saying right now. But thanks for the tunes, Michael!
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: @Handy: And to return the favor, this is what we made last night. We used Trader Joe's Kale Gnocchi, and added more lemon juice (of course), but it was quite good! cooking.nytimes.com...
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, @Frank! Will check out (after games are sorted).
	12:57pm Erm: hmmmmmm...releasing without permission someone's personal tapes of their struggles with weight loss, drugs and sanity = the utmost respect?
	12:57pm Moammar: Oi, this is invasive and creepy. Sorry.
	12:59pm Moammar: Selling it with a pill box is vile.
	12:59pm davefromtoronto: zzzzzzz
