Listener comments!
	11:00am Listener Baby: Good morning Baby! Good morning world!
	11:00am Listener Bop Monroe: greetings from Tannersville Mr. S!
	11:00am Frank In Queens: HEY NOW!!!!
	11:00am clarke: hey now!
	11:01am Handy Haversack: That photo really captures the deep talent pool of the Michael Shelley comment board! Happy Saturday, Michael and all the Shelle Gamers! So glad to be here with you all.
	11:02am clarke: i won right?
	11:02am clarke: the rocktobah?!?
	11:02am James in ATL: Good morning, Michael! Starting with Cheap Trick is a good call!
	11:03am Michael Shelley: Clarke - I will be going there. HEY ALL RADIO PALS!
	11:03am Frank In Queens: They never really nailed a studio version of this song, did they?
	11:03am Roberto: Michael, maybe you should screenshot the current screen and make that your playlist image.
	11:03am doctorjazz: I Like this version.
	11:03am clarke: hey.... i hear you are rockin' this rocktobah thing.
	11:03am Pauly from Clifton: Good morning Michael, Crew, folks!
	11:04am Sean: I like this better than the "official" version. Less production makes it sound more authentic to my ears. Not in all cases, but I've never loved that version. (Cheap Trick)
	11:04am clarke: i have NO issues with the issued version of IWantU2WMe
	11:04am Listener Baby: Oops.
	11:05am clarke: BABY!!!!!! baby.
	11:05am Brian C.: Wow, listen to Lewis sing!
	11:05am Frank In Queens: A labor dispute over baked goods?
	11:06am clarke: ha ha ha - this aggression will not stand!
	11:07am Dave in Vermont: hey, I know that coffee mug!
	11:07am Sean: re Lewis R. I think hard drugs and harder poetry had more to do with it. An abusive dad probably got the ball rolling as well.
	11:08am Handy Haversack: I just sent Joe B some action shots of his 3CM Koozie from our canoeing trips in the Catskills, Maine, and right here in NYC. These WFMU DJ Premiums do it all. Wait, what? We can pledge right now and get DJ Premiums and help the station keep going? WHAT? Well OK then! pledge.wfmu.org...
	11:09am Dave in Vermont: i didn't remember that that desk looked that way under the clutter though
	11:10am middlebun: Laura Nyro and Dusty Springfield.
	11:10am myron feld: The drumming on the 5 Stairsteps version is insanely great, or greatly insane.
	11:10am Vt Knit Girl: Excited to see my coaster on the play list. It Kinady family for anyone who cares
	11:10am Pedro in Arlington: @Sean Don't forget Lou got electroshock "therapy" in the late 50s. At Creedmoor State Hospital. Same place Woody Guthrie died 53 years ago today. Should have put the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame there.
	11:11am Hoboken Jack: Welcome back, Baby!! Hello Michael, Ruth, Frank, Handy, one and all!
	11:11am Hams: someday!
	11:13am Handy Haversack: Jack! Happy Saturday!
	11:15am engineer mike: Mike - the right side of your audio just cut out. Great track though
	11:15am Frank In Queens: Hi Jack!
	11:15am Frank In Queens: Ah, one of my all-time faves!
	11:15am Roberto: Aw hell yes! Shake!
	11:15am phat: OMG, thank you for the Shake Some Action
	11:15am Roberto: Greatest rock guitar riff of all time? Possibly!
	11:15am Vt Knit Girl: Thanks Michael!
	11:16am clarke: ain't no flies on me. the artist of the day is Journey. george alexander is god.
	11:16am myron feld: Maybe the #1-est of all #1s.
	11:18am Martinibomb: Helloooo Michael!
	11:18am Michael Shelley: Man, on this show a 4:34 song sounds really long!
	11:18am myron feld: The best 4:34 any of us will spend today.
	11:18am clarke: not to my ears!
	11:19am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Shake Some Action!
	11:19am Handy Haversack: I wonder if Rex has an 4:34 songs ...
	11:20am Nancy: Definitely the number one-est number one hit. I
	11:20am Frank In Queens: I would never attempt to cover SSA. Friggin' sacrosanct!
	11:20am Vt Knit Girl: Totally remember that! Never sent them in though.
	11:21am myron feld: @Frank: you are so right.
	11:21am ?: no bass
	11:21am Frank In Queens: Michael, you're down a channel again.
	11:22am Dennis Diken: hey Mikey and all! I remember calling record stores to check when they'd have the newly released Shake Some Action LP in stock. I think I waited outside the shop until it opened on the day I bought it!
	11:22am anon in Louisiana: Yah, I remember Bazooka, but I'm still waiting for the toy from Kellogg's Corn Flakes that I sent off for in 1963.
	11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Shelleys & Ruth & all!
	11:22am clarke: perhaps bazooka joe got some kick-back from his bazooka's eyepiece?
	11:22am ?: We would look for discarded pop bottles on the way to the store to buy candy. Bazooka gum was one of them.
	11:23am paul: Remember "Dynomite" by Bazuka? 1975-ish
	11:23am Fredericks: This song after the Groovies sounds like it is playing on a plastic portable turntable with built in speakers.
	11:23am clarke: he seemed a bit young to be a veteran, tho.
	11:23am friend: Uh oh - the sound is very tinny, no bass again. A few FMU shows lately have had a problem lately where every-other-song gets tinny/without bass
	11:24am Frank In Queens: The Joel Paterson song sounded the same.
	11:24am Listener Baby: I did the bazooka comic thing too. I got the smallest, worst, Chicago White Sox Pennant ever made.
	11:24am Mr. Fine Wine: "Fogert"?
	11:24am myron feld: @Dennis: I remember reading an absolutely rave review of SSA in Bomp! Magazine. Then I found out Greg Shaw managed the band.
	11:25am Corey: Sweet cover by my mom's teenage hearthrob!
	11:25am Sean: I need to put more Rick Nelson on my turntable, Ricky too.
	11:27am Cooh John: #1 hit. More could be done with that song.
	11:27am Hoboken Jack: Hey Greg, hey Fredericks!!
	11:27am Sean: Clint Ballard wrote it. He WAS good.
	11:28am myron feld: Dee Dee sounds like she's singing her own backups on this. The guitar solo is SO great.
	11:29am JimB: Hey Michael, some of the songs sound a little thin, as if they were coming in over the phone. Announcer's voice OK.
	11:29am McGroovey: I wanna hear more by that bazooka band.
	11:29am Michael Shelley: Thanks - I think its sorted - please let me know
	11:31am Greg from ZONE 5: Yo Jack! This song is so tight.
	11:32am Steve: The Bazooka song didn't make it onto the playlist! Information, please.
	11:32am Handy Haversack: Hooo, that "You're No Good" got the local number-one-song singer singing along! Fire!
	11:33am Greg from ZONE 5: It has already been a productive (and STRANGE) Shocktober. Read The Monster Club and watched The Video Dead, Don't Look Now and The Willies. And it's only the 3rd!!!
	11:33am Hoboken Jack: Loved that Sails track! Yo McGroove!
	11:33am Dennis Diken: right myron! all in all, the mid-late 70s were such a cool time to be collecting records
	11:33am Sean: ?? for the board. What is the best way to listen to this show live on an iphone? I am extremely limited in my comprehension of 21st century technology so please assume I am an idiot. Thanks in advance.
	11:34am StringOFperils: Rigidity and tensile strength is what you want in a Pop Tart.
	11:34am Roberto: Oy vey. Van, honey, what is you doing.
	11:35am Hubig Pie: I play Bang, Bang with my blue and gold macaw, Louie
	11:35am Hoboken Jack: Sean, I like the "pop-up" link at the top of the playlist.
	11:35am clarke: hey Van still makes good records. this is old - a contractual obligation, actually
	11:35am Moammar: I'm declaring a complete and total shutdown of Van Morrison until the pandemic abates.
	11:35am Roberto: His recent nut-job actions confirm that the Bang Contractual sessions were indeed his finest moment artistically.
	11:36am Brian C.: Instead of poptarts, you should have a danish
	11:36am Devin B.: Ol' Van's still got it!!
	11:36am James in ATL: Yikes. Tune that guitar!
	11:37am clarke: sorry - van morrison is one of the 'old class' artists that has not had ONE letdown album
	11:38am Handy Haversack: Greg, nice! Kate and I have been planning out some horror movies. Did you ever watch Los Espookys? I'm reading /The Drowning Girl/ by Caitlin M. Kiernan, which is creepy and excellent.
	11:38am ?: is it just us here in New Orleans or is there a big drop off between Michael on mike, sound hood and then the music? sounds all tinny as if from a small plastic a.m. radio
	11:38am Roberto: My take is that people who are not high-risk should vote in person. We can't rely entirely on the mail-in option.
	11:39am anon in Louisiana: I'm not having a prob near new orleans
	11:39am Brian in New Orleans: ok I'm signed in now ..it sounds better now
	11:39am clarke: i'm in new orleans and having no issue
	11:39am Sean: Mac co-wrote this with the great Billy Strange. They wrote it specifically for Aretha Franklin, she wasn't interested. So ... Elvis!
	11:39am Brian in New Orleans: ok cool
	11:40am paul: Dayle Haddon is what I remember about North Dallas 40.
	11:40am Greg from ZONE 5: Haven't seen Los Espookys yet! Def interested.
	11:40am Martinibomb: that was cool
	11:40am clarke: oh we're doing MovieTime, now? go frank!
	11:42am Corey: The pandemic coincided more or less with the birth of my son. Saturday night double whammy. I love my boy, but I miss them!
	11:42am Frank In Queens: @clarke, slow week. Only Network and Rear Window.
	11:42am R2: Correction: Saturday night is when Svenghoolie airs, so it still has meaning.
	11:43am Pedro in Arlington: Icymi The Aretha doc Amazing Grace is on Hulu and it is stunning. You also get to see Sydney Pollack running around in his own movie.
	11:43am clarke: mac davis was pretty good in North Dallas Forty. Rear Window in my all-time top ten.
	11:43am Andres: Good morning, all! That Van Morrison sounded like a sketch for a future Hotel Yorba.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: We both liked it a lot, Greg. Also, it turns out Kate has never seen Evil Dead or Army of Darkness, so that situation needs dealing with! We watched Lake Mungo not too long ago -- that's worth checking out. As my friend Rob said back in April, in the pandemic every night's Saturday night and every morning is Monday morning.
	11:44am Frank In Queens: It's a good one!
	11:44am The Undisputed Truth: Mitchell: Do you regret calling him a clown or telling him to shut up? Biden: No, I just wish the circumstances hadn’t of been what they were. https://www.wkyc.com/mobile/article/news/politics/joe-biden-presidential-debate-interview-cleveland-russ-mitchell/95-93f1475b-ce52-4f5b-b220-d8c31254c4a7
	11:44am Dennis Diken: sounded like Buddy Harman on the Webb Pierce track
	11:45am clarke: the young buddy harmon was a FORCE!! (the older one, too)
	11:45am clarke: whoops, i think Harman is correct spelling.
	11:46am Moammar: THEM BONGOS!
	11:46am spodiodi: good morning, Michael Shelley and all!
	11:46am Moammar: Sahib, they drum across the river tonight.
	11:47am paul: Sounds a little like Soul Finger.
	11:48am Sean: Thanks Hoboken Jack. That's how I normally listen to it on my laptop. I poked around a bit and discovered there is an iPone app. It's the 2nd app I've ever downloaded, but I got it now!
	11:50am clarke: this does NOT sound like Soulfinger!! but, i like it, too!
	11:50am Handy Haversack: Hey, I'm Number 1. Be Number 1 like me! Hey there, spodiodi. How's Saturday so far, friend?
	11:52am Listener Bop Monroe: it was watermelon man sideways
	11:52am Fuzzy: Ozark is very good.
	11:52am Frank In Queens: Hey, Jellyfish!
	11:52am clarke: i like Ozark a lot - it gets grim. non-spoiler. i am slightly disappointed with new Fargo season - but, maybe it will get better?
	11:53am cybermaven7: They were actually in quarantine for 7 weeks. Crazy! But I am truly happy they did another season!
	11:53am Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Enjoying all these #1’s!!
	11:54am Ross T.: I hear Jellyfish I post.
	11:54am clarke: well.. Fargo had half the season in the can, but decided to push back their season from spring
	11:54am myron feld: @Clarke: Not loving new Fargo either. Jason Schwartzman as 1950s Midwest mafioso = really bad.
	11:54am spodiodi: hey Handy, it's acool sunny morning, and i'm happy to be here. breakfast time too :) how are you?
	11:55am clarke: i usually love schwartzman in everything (including Listen Up Phillip!), but there is something not falling 'together' about this season..?? can't explain it, really.
	11:55am Fuzzy: Yes, Ozark has it's harsh moments, like Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul...there has to be at least one more season of Ozark coming (and BCS too!)
	11:56am Ross T.: Standing up drummers theme show!
	11:56am Hoboken Jack: Was the Jellyfish track the theme to a Courtship of Eddie's Father reboot?
	11:56am Handy Haversack: Late breakfast on the cooker here too, spod. It's lovely out. I think I'll take the whole shebang outside once the food is ready.
	11:56am clarke: i heard that Ozark just started resuming production
	11:57am Fuzzy: Nice!
	11:57am clarke: i also heard about this rocktobah thang
	11:57am clarke: from the new dept
	11:58am spodiodi: bon appetit, Handy! like the badges!
	11:58am paul: Same melody as "husbands and wives."
	11:59am Hoboken Jack: I wasn't crazy about the first Fargo episode, but by the end of the second I feel like it's coming together? I had enjoyed the first two seasons of Ozark despite its absurdity, but this latest season I couldn't get past the first episode.
	11:59am Hubig Pie: Quite an upbeat reimagining of this one
	12:00pm clarke: i didn't mind the histrionics of the KC mob, that wasn't what turned me off... i just don't know. maybe they'll connect some dots and blow my mind.
	12:01pm paul: Looks like an aromatherapy gadget.
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Brooklyn! Way to represent!
	12:02pm clarke: it might be that chris rock is just not believable??
	12:02pm Sean: Those are the first two episodes of FARGO I've ever seen and I thought it looked really good. Maybe it's a matter of surprise -vs- expectation. I guess I'll start with the worst season and work backwards.
	12:02pm TVP: Way late on this, but I remember reading this a while back: apparently Bazooka Joe's eyes are fine, he just likes wearing a patch: https://www.straightdope.com/21342368/how-did-bazooka-joe-lose-his-right-eye
	12:03pm clarke: the other seasons are totally rewarding - and all are (slightly) connected
	12:03pm Sean: Hey, you kids better be careful or someone's gonna lose an eye!
	12:04pm clarke: (and all seasons are slightly connected to the film Fargo, as well, of course)
	12:04pm ?: Dennis, or anyone else. Was Shake Some Action getting airplay? Did they get attention at all at the time?
	12:05pm clarke: Don Grady's Ugga Bugga comes to mind (from My Three Sons, season 4)
	12:05pm clarke: no - the flamin' groovies got NO airplay - but i heard them on college radio
	12:06pm Moammar: IT'S ... THEM BONGOS! AGAIN!
	12:06pm clarke: my donation money went straight towards the bongo feet.
	12:08pm Michael Shelley: AMEN CLARKE
	12:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: My husband just asked if this is the Toy Dolls
	12:08pm myron feld: Michael, the first time I heard "Cage" on your show, I went right out (to my laptop) and bought the album. Thanks!
	12:09pm Ross T.: Flamin' Groovies zero airplay in South Florida. #1 in my house.
	12:10pm clarke: in more detail: WTUL (new orleans) had a show called Smace's Oldies Show which was amazingly close to what WFMU became later. he used to play Teenage Head almost every week. when the Shake Some Action album came out - i spotted it in the cut-out section! the groovies NEVER got much radio love, sadly.
	12:11pm Handy Haversack: This song sounds like it has the potential to catch on.
	12:11pm Ross T.: Groovies were covered in various periodicals. I discovered them via "Supersnazz" for $1.99 in the bargain bin.
	12:12pm DaveinPA: amazing demo!
	12:12pm ?: For the week ending Sept. 11, '76, Billboard reported that Shake Some Action was a "star performer," i.e., made substantial progress on the charts that week. The Groovies jumped from 174 to 164 on the Top LPs and Tape chart that week.
	12:12pm Frank In Queens: If Pete's demos were the official versions of the songs, they'd still be amazing!
	12:13pm clarke: oh well, yes - the groovies DID get mentions in Hit Parader and Creem, to be sure - but it did not transfer to airplay.
	12:13pm Dennis Diken: Re: SSA, I forget if I heard it before I bought it but it was covered in Bomp, etc & there was a big buzz about it
	12:13pm KWilde: Love these demos - anyone who missed Spazz on Thursday don’t miss the archive
	12:13pm Hubig Pie: clarke, WTUL was my gateway drug to WFMU
	12:14pm Ross T.: I remember the Greg Shaw coverage of "SSA" in Bomp -- basically said it was the best album ever. he was correct.
	12:14pm clarke: i was lucky enough to drum with loney and jordan at some dive bar in SF, in the late 80's - one of my all-time top thrills in life.
	12:15pm Ross T.: Salute!
	12:15pm Frank Zaatar: For a moment there I thought that was the Beach Boys covering My Generation. There seems to be a bit of a California twang in Pete's delivery.
	12:15pm clarke: the who were HUUUUGE beach boys fans!!
	12:16pm clarke: looLin'?? asst producer would be shamed
	12:17pm Morphe': Jose Luis en Madrid .... currently in NYC but normally also en Madrid - near Plz Olivide" one day - not en a cafe.... ???? Handy - this afternoon 4pm ish??? or wext week????? Michael - as I always say -from my friends 80s band V-Effect "Stop Playing Those Songs!!!!!" I can't leave the house and do the shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	12:17pm Dean: That was me w/ the Billboard bit @12:12. Probably heard SSA on KROQ at the time. I've purchased three copies over the years. Two for me, one for a friend who hadn't heard of the Groovies. By Oct. 2, '76, SSA had charted for seven weeks and sat at 142, two slots below The Ramones on their 18th week on the chart.
	12:20pm McGroovey: Bazooka music reminds me of these Barbie-like dolls my sisters had that came with a record with holes for the dolls' feet in the label area. When you played the record, you put (they put) they dolls on the holes, and the dolls "dancing" (actually just rotated around standing in the middle of the record). I think the dolls reach had names, and they were the "singers". Some of the songs were pretty good. Once in a while one of the songs pops into my head, but not right now.
	12:21pm Roberto: Ain't none betta than Sister Rosetta.
	12:22pm middlebun: Piano and organ? Of course it is in C.
	12:22pm Greg from ZONE 5: I think that's a safe compromise.
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: Michael, that's exactly what we're doing. And yes, expect the first kid to come to empty the bowl every time you fill it.
	12:22pm clarke: that could be because of Fargo!
	12:23pm Thurston Howl: Sister Tharpe famous for her white SG Les Paul
	12:23pm Mister Dobalina: I just laughed. Drummer...
	12:23pm Michael Shelley: Exactly Frank!
	12:23pm Mailman Tom: I watched Caveman last night. It stars Ringo Starr and it's a funny movie!
	12:24pm Andres: I concur with Michael's statement.
	12:24pm Mister Dobalina: How about a candy catapult that is activated when your bell is rung. Or maybe with a motion sensor that flings m&m's at kids.
	12:24pm Morphe': Michael - that headpiece on top of the speaker in the windo looks like Ken?????
	12:25pm clarke: i have heard that ringo was in complete awe of jim keltner and had semi-drummer-self-esteem issues due to the white album fiasco
	12:25pm Dean: Aug. 12, '76, SSA radio action noted on WWWW-FM, Detroit.
	12:25pm Frank In Queens: I miss Ian McLagan.
	12:26pm clarke: although ringo's playing post-white album is so great (thinking of the film Let It Be, here)!! the "rogers era"
	12:27pm clarke: that whole mclagan album is a treasure!
	12:27pm Ross T.: Ringo wasn't Lennon and McCartney most obviously but the Beatles were greater because of him.
	12:28pm clarke: 49
	12:28pm Greg from ZONE 5: Hudson County NJ has more people than Wyoming.
	12:29pm Moammar: Wyoming: Fewer people than DC. Fewer people than Puerto Rico. Just saying.
	12:30pm Hubig Pie: Wyoming: it's the country you flee to after a bank heist.
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: Hey, morphe'! We are pretty tightly planned up for some reason these few days. We are free Monday afternoon, I think? Kate after 5, though I can get free by fourish. Then we're getting out of the city on Thu. Back next Mon.
	12:30pm Ross T.: On "Take No Prisoners" I believe Lewis Reed said (paraphrasing) "You ever met anyone from Wyoming? Not me."
	12:30pm clarke: (although only technically "in" hawaii passing thru at honolulu airport) - so: 48
	12:31pm johnk77: great show again today ian mclagan book all the rage is excellent
	12:31pm anon in Louisiana: thanks for the great tunes
	12:32pm clarke: thnx johnk77 - i would like to read that!
	12:33pm Mister Dobalina: Guess no one liked my candy catapult idea. Drats..
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: I had a good friend in college from Wyoming. He dropped out, went back and got his HS band, and brought them back to NYC to reinvent themselves as an experimental rock sensation. He told me he was driving in the middle of the night on the way back and listening to the VU. One of his bandmates woke up during that section of "Heroin" and asked, "What is this?" My friend's response: "1966, baby!"
	12:34pm clarke: you obviously have never had a Popeye's Spicy Chicken Sandwich - dreams galore!
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: 24 years later and I miss NONE of it.
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: Same, Frank! Same.
	12:35pm Dean: I believe I went all summer without once hearing SMK's stand-by "Barbecue" tribute.
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: Damn Handy, that #1 next to your name is quite fetching.
	12:36pm clarke: s'ok frank - i make a helluva "cole" slaw - i call it hot slaw, tho
	12:36pm Hams: i've never had a good veggie dumpling.
	12:36pm johnk77: @clarke u r welcome my ex-roommate from the road gregg sutton even shows up in ian's book a few times in regards to funny stories about touring w/dylan
	12:36pm Roberto: Oh was there a question about missing meat? That's a no from this 30-years vegan.
	12:36pm Frank In Queens: Oh, "hot slaw" you say? Tell me more!
	12:37pm Dennis Diken: Alaska is the only state I’ve not visited
	12:37pm Squints: At first I thought this was John Wesley Harding.
	12:37pm Michael Shelley: cabbage dumpling!
	12:37pm Hoboken Jack: #TeamMeat
	12:37pm Ross T.: I like Jersey best.
	12:38pm Hoboken Jack: Squints: good call!
	12:38pm Dean: I've been to both Southern and Northern California. Drove through Jefferson once.
	12:38pm myron feld: 41 states and not a vegetarian, although my wife is a pescawhatever so we don't have much meat anyway. However, the greatest single food in the world is Louie Mueller's brisket in Taylor, TX.
	12:39pm Mister Dobalina: Pescawhatever...hahahah
	12:39pm Frank Zaatar: I'd forgotten this was originally an Everly Brothers song.
	12:40pm Squints: I like this Supah Freak covah, theah.
	12:40pm Squints: FZ: Heh.
	12:40pm clarke: Hot Slaw is my cajun version of cole slaw. chop all the cabbage for slaw, add: onions, garlic, bell pepper, celery, sharp cheddar cheese - all diced to slaw-size. instead of mayo - use ranch dressing made with creole mustard (zatarain's preferably!) and of course tabasco/crystal sauce and cayenne pepper, etc.
	12:40pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: this cover version is really soothing.
	12:40pm Hoboken Jack: Myron, I second Mueller's BBQ and Clarke, I recently made my first pandemic visit to Popeye's for that excellent sandwich.
	12:41pm Hubig Pie: I been all over the world and The Gulf of Mexico
	12:41pm Moammar: Myron, I'm right with you on Louis Mueller. Sam's in Austin is a sentimental favorite. Showed up at 2 a.m. once and found Gibby Haynes there.
	12:41pm clarke: HJ - it is the ONE thing that lives up to its hype!
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: Cheese and ranch! Oofa!
	12:42pm clarke: its a hit at (most) bbq's (too spicy for some yanks, tho)
	12:42pm Martinibomb: That super freak cover was killer
	12:43pm Hoboken Jack: PF Sloan sounds kinda like Loudon Wainwright, or I guess, vice versa.
	12:43pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: @Moammar I enjoyed BBQ at Sam's sometime before midnight in the 1990s. All I remember is that Michael Jordan and the Bulls were playing on TV and Jordan scored more than 50 pts.
	12:43pm clarke: pf sloan sounds like whomever he tries to sound like!
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: Spice don't scare me. Richness however, does!
	12:45pm Frank In Queens: I can't disagree, Michael.
	12:45pm Kate in NJ: Jimmy Webb has a song called "PF Sloan" and it's catchy as anything
	12:46pm clarke: was JUST on rampart street, yesterday
	12:47pm clarke: (which turns into St. Claude down the way)
	12:47pm Andres: Too much meat - is something the cats and my dog have ever said about their meals.
	12:48pm johnzo: you're right... meat is like what, 5-10% of chimps' diet? & that's probably mostly insects. I think in our lifetime we may see a big uptick in insect farming/consumption in the western world for moral and practical reasons...
	12:48pm Frank In Queens: I think Westerners would rather eat lab grown meat over insects.
	12:49pm Mister Dobalina: Had some chapulines the other day. Not bad...down with the insects.
	12:50pm Hams: i usually just tell folks it gives me nightmares when asked why i don't eat meat. bad dreams of pigs will keep you up at night.
	12:50pm clarke: you at the office frank?
	12:51pm Frank In Queens: Not today, and not until the end of the month. And then it might be 4 Saturdays in a row.
	12:51pm Mister Dobalina: Pink Floyd pigs..
	12:51pm clarke: no interest in stanley cup i take it?
	12:51pm egould310: I had to interrupt my jog to roll my eyes at your “Grover” joke. Cornier than Kansas in July. Nice show, Mike.
	12:51pm ChrisB.: Rocktober! I won!
	12:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Pretenders are good.
	12:52pm clarke: hey now - 4 saturdays! that's all ROCKTOBAH!
	12:52pm Squints: The notion of eating insects really bugs me.
	12:52pm DjLorraine: Pretenders!
	12:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Michael. For those playing COVID-19 Bingo, put a token on the Chris Christie square.
	12:53pm Squints: If I'm going to eat a bug, I'd go straight to crab or lobster.
	12:53pm Frank In Queens: Little interest. I watched a couple of games including the last one. Was pulling for Dallas as I didn't quite appreciate some of the nonsense Tampa pulled against the Isles. But they clearly were the better team and Hedman was absolutely dynamite this post-season and rightfully deserved the Conn Smythe.
	12:54pm clarke: gotcha!
	12:55pm McGroovey: I need to go on a Robbie Fulks bender. But not until after Todd's show.
	12:55pm clarke: weird year for sports - or anything
	12:55pm listener 126464: Hey everybody. Thanks again Michael, and skeletons!
	12:55pm Hams: dobalina, yep.
	12:56pm Listener Bop Monroe: another great show today. thnx again and have a great rest of yer weekend Mr. MS!
	12:56pm Ross T.: Flamin' Groovies, Stanley Cup, eating bugs -- I think we covered everything.
	12:56pm clarke: oh yes - appreciate the woof-moo!! down here on Wuzzle Street!!
	12:56pm Corey: Great show, Michael! A quick two hours closer to Saturday night. Take care all.
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Rocktober!
	12:58pm clarke: i think you're drunk.
	12:58pm KWilde: Wipper!!
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: Tommy and The Bull! Jesus...
	12:59pm Hoboken Jack: Happy Rocktober! Thanks Michael and Ruth! Hello Todd, Dennis, Jeff, HP Ken, anybody I missed!! And I continue to miss you all!
	12:59pm Mister Dobalina: Too many drinkie poohs!
	1:00pm radioronan: Thanks Michael. Thanks skeleton crew!
	1:00pm Ross T.: Thumbs up
	1:00pm Frank In Queens: Cheers Kids! I wonder what adventures and treasures will be in store for us this coming week?
	1:01pm Mister Dobalina: Pirates booty. Great show as always!
	1:05pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! Got called away from the keyboard there at the end but was listening the whole time.

	11:01am Handy Haversack: That photo really captures the deep talent pool of the Michael Shelley comment board! Happy Saturday, Michael and all the Shelle Gamers! So glad to be here with you all.
	11:02am clarke: i won right?
	11:02am clarke: the rocktobah?!?
	11:02am James in ATL: Good morning, Michael! Starting with Cheap Trick is a good call!
	11:03am Michael Shelley: Clarke - I will be going there. HEY ALL RADIO PALS!
	11:03am Frank In Queens: They never really nailed a studio version of this song, did they?
	11:03am Roberto: Michael, maybe you should screenshot the current screen and make that your playlist image.
	11:03am doctorjazz: I Like this version.
	11:03am clarke: hey.... i hear you are rockin' this rocktobah thing.
	11:03am Pauly from Clifton: Good morning Michael, Crew, folks!
	11:04am Sean: I like this better than the "official" version. Less production makes it sound more authentic to my ears. Not in all cases, but I've never loved that version. (Cheap Trick)
	11:04am clarke: i have NO issues with the issued version of IWantU2WMe
	11:04am Listener Baby: Oops.

	11:07am Dave in Vermont: hey, I know that coffee mug!
	11:07am Sean: re Lewis R. I think hard drugs and harder poetry had more to do with it. An abusive dad probably got the ball rolling as well.
	11:08am Handy Haversack: I just sent Joe B some action shots of his 3CM Koozie from our canoeing trips in the Catskills, Maine, and right here in NYC. These WFMU DJ Premiums do it all. Wait, what? We can pledge right now and get DJ Premiums and help the station keep going? WHAT? Well OK then! pledge.wfmu.org...
	11:09am Dave in Vermont: i didn't remember that that desk looked that way under the clutter though
	11:10am middlebun: Laura Nyro and Dusty Springfield.
	11:10am myron feld: The drumming on the 5 Stairsteps version is insanely great, or greatly insane.
	11:10am Vt Knit Girl: Excited to see my coaster on the play list. It Kinady family for anyone who cares
	11:10am Pedro in Arlington: @Sean Don't forget Lou got electroshock "therapy" in the late 50s. At Creedmoor State Hospital. Same place Woody Guthrie died 53 years ago today. Should have put the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame there.
	11:11am Hoboken Jack: Welcome back, Baby!! Hello Michael, Ruth, Frank, Handy, one and all!
	11:11am Hams: someday!
	11:13am Handy Haversack: Jack! Happy Saturday!
	11:15am engineer mike: Mike - the right side of your audio just cut out. Great track though
	11:15am Frank In Queens: Hi Jack!
	11:15am Frank In Queens: Ah, one of my all-time faves!
	11:15am Roberto: Aw hell yes! Shake!
	11:15am phat: OMG, thank you for the Shake Some Action
	11:15am Roberto: Greatest rock guitar riff of all time? Possibly!
	11:15am Vt Knit Girl: Thanks Michael!
	11:16am clarke: ain't no flies on me. the artist of the day is Journey. george alexander is god.
	11:16am myron feld: Maybe the #1-est of all #1s.
	11:18am Martinibomb: Helloooo Michael!
	11:18am Michael Shelley: Man, on this show a 4:34 song sounds really long!
	11:18am myron feld: The best 4:34 any of us will spend today.
	11:18am clarke: not to my ears!
	11:19am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Shake Some Action!
	11:19am Handy Haversack: I wonder if Rex has an 4:34 songs ...
	11:20am Nancy: Definitely the number one-est number one hit. I
	11:20am Frank In Queens: I would never attempt to cover SSA. Friggin' sacrosanct!
	11:20am Vt Knit Girl: Totally remember that! Never sent them in though.
	11:21am myron feld: @Frank: you are so right.
	11:21am ?: no bass
	11:21am Frank In Queens: Michael, you're down a channel again.
	11:22am Dennis Diken: hey Mikey and all! I remember calling record stores to check when they'd have the newly released Shake Some Action LP in stock. I think I waited outside the shop until it opened on the day I bought it!
	11:22am anon in Louisiana: Yah, I remember Bazooka, but I'm still waiting for the toy from Kellogg's Corn Flakes that I sent off for in 1963.
	11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Shelleys & Ruth & all!
	11:22am clarke: perhaps bazooka joe got some kick-back from his bazooka's eyepiece?
	11:22am ?: We would look for discarded pop bottles on the way to the store to buy candy. Bazooka gum was one of them.
	11:23am paul: Remember "Dynomite" by Bazuka? 1975-ish
	11:23am Fredericks: This song after the Groovies sounds like it is playing on a plastic portable turntable with built in speakers.
	11:23am clarke: he seemed a bit young to be a veteran, tho.
	11:23am friend: Uh oh - the sound is very tinny, no bass again. A few FMU shows lately have had a problem lately where every-other-song gets tinny/without bass
	11:24am Frank In Queens: The Joel Paterson song sounded the same.
	11:24am Listener Baby: I did the bazooka comic thing too. I got the smallest, worst, Chicago White Sox Pennant ever made.
	11:24am Mr. Fine Wine: "Fogert"?
	11:24am myron feld: @Dennis: I remember reading an absolutely rave review of SSA in Bomp! Magazine. Then I found out Greg Shaw managed the band.
	11:25am Corey: Sweet cover by my mom's teenage hearthrob!
	11:25am Sean: I need to put more Rick Nelson on my turntable, Ricky too.
	11:27am Cooh John: #1 hit. More could be done with that song.
	11:27am Hoboken Jack: Hey Greg, hey Fredericks!!
	11:27am Sean: Clint Ballard wrote it. He WAS good.
	11:28am myron feld: Dee Dee sounds like she's singing her own backups on this. The guitar solo is SO great.
	11:29am JimB: Hey Michael, some of the songs sound a little thin, as if they were coming in over the phone. Announcer's voice OK.
	11:29am McGroovey: I wanna hear more by that bazooka band.
	11:29am Michael Shelley: Thanks - I think its sorted - please let me know
	11:31am Greg from ZONE 5: Yo Jack! This song is so tight.
	11:32am Steve: The Bazooka song didn't make it onto the playlist! Information, please.
	11:32am Handy Haversack: Hooo, that "You're No Good" got the local number-one-song singer singing along! Fire!
	11:33am Greg from ZONE 5: It has already been a productive (and STRANGE) Shocktober. Read The Monster Club and watched The Video Dead, Don't Look Now and The Willies. And it's only the 3rd!!!
	11:33am Hoboken Jack: Loved that Sails track! Yo McGroove!
	11:33am Dennis Diken: right myron! all in all, the mid-late 70s were such a cool time to be collecting records
	11:33am Sean: ?? for the board. What is the best way to listen to this show live on an iphone? I am extremely limited in my comprehension of 21st century technology so please assume I am an idiot. Thanks in advance.
	11:34am StringOFperils: Rigidity and tensile strength is what you want in a Pop Tart.
	11:34am Roberto: Oy vey. Van, honey, what is you doing.
	11:35am Hubig Pie: I play Bang, Bang with my blue and gold macaw, Louie
	11:35am Hoboken Jack: Sean, I like the "pop-up" link at the top of the playlist.
	11:35am clarke: hey Van still makes good records. this is old - a contractual obligation, actually
	11:35am Moammar: I'm declaring a complete and total shutdown of Van Morrison until the pandemic abates.
	11:35am Roberto: His recent nut-job actions confirm that the Bang Contractual sessions were indeed his finest moment artistically.
	11:36am Brian C.: Instead of poptarts, you should have a danish
	11:36am Devin B.: Ol' Van's still got it!!
	11:36am James in ATL: Yikes. Tune that guitar!
	11:37am clarke: sorry - van morrison is one of the 'old class' artists that has not had ONE letdown album
	11:38am Handy Haversack: Greg, nice! Kate and I have been planning out some horror movies. Did you ever watch Los Espookys? I'm reading /The Drowning Girl/ by Caitlin M. Kiernan, which is creepy and excellent.
	11:38am ?: is it just us here in New Orleans or is there a big drop off between Michael on mike, sound hood and then the music? sounds all tinny as if from a small plastic a.m. radio
	11:38am Roberto: My take is that people who are not high-risk should vote in person. We can't rely entirely on the mail-in option.
	11:39am anon in Louisiana: I'm not having a prob near new orleans
	11:39am Brian in New Orleans: ok I'm signed in now ..it sounds better now
	11:39am clarke: i'm in new orleans and having no issue
	11:39am Sean: Mac co-wrote this with the great Billy Strange. They wrote it specifically for Aretha Franklin, she wasn't interested. So ... Elvis!
	11:39am Brian in New Orleans: ok cool
	11:40am paul: Dayle Haddon is what I remember about North Dallas 40.
	11:40am Greg from ZONE 5: Haven't seen Los Espookys yet! Def interested.
	11:40am Martinibomb: that was cool
	11:40am clarke: oh we're doing MovieTime, now? go frank!
	11:42am Corey: The pandemic coincided more or less with the birth of my son. Saturday night double whammy. I love my boy, but I miss them!
	11:42am Frank In Queens: @clarke, slow week. Only Network and Rear Window.
	11:42am R2: Correction: Saturday night is when Svenghoolie airs, so it still has meaning.
	11:43am Pedro in Arlington: Icymi The Aretha doc Amazing Grace is on Hulu and it is stunning. You also get to see Sydney Pollack running around in his own movie.
	11:43am clarke: mac davis was pretty good in North Dallas Forty. Rear Window in my all-time top ten.
	11:43am Andres: Good morning, all! That Van Morrison sounded like a sketch for a future Hotel Yorba.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: We both liked it a lot, Greg. Also, it turns out Kate has never seen Evil Dead or Army of Darkness, so that situation needs dealing with! We watched Lake Mungo not too long ago -- that's worth checking out. As my friend Rob said back in April, in the pandemic every night's Saturday night and every morning is Monday morning.
	11:44am Frank In Queens: It's a good one!
	11:44am The Undisputed Truth: Mitchell: Do you regret calling him a clown or telling him to shut up? Biden: No, I just wish the circumstances hadn’t of been what they were. https://www.wkyc.com/mobile/article/news/politics/joe-biden-presidential-debate-interview-cleveland-russ-mitchell/95-93f1475b-ce52-4f5b-b220-d8c31254c4a7
	11:44am Dennis Diken: sounded like Buddy Harman on the Webb Pierce track
	11:45am clarke: the young buddy harmon was a FORCE!! (the older one, too)
	11:45am clarke: whoops, i think Harman is correct spelling.
	11:46am Moammar: THEM BONGOS!
	11:46am spodiodi: good morning, Michael Shelley and all!
	11:46am Moammar: Sahib, they drum across the river tonight.
	11:47am paul: Sounds a little like Soul Finger.
	11:48am Sean: Thanks Hoboken Jack. That's how I normally listen to it on my laptop. I poked around a bit and discovered there is an iPone app. It's the 2nd app I've ever downloaded, but I got it now!
	11:50am clarke: this does NOT sound like Soulfinger!! but, i like it, too!
	11:50am Handy Haversack: Hey, I'm Number 1. Be Number 1 like me! Hey there, spodiodi. How's Saturday so far, friend?
	11:52am Listener Bop Monroe: it was watermelon man sideways
	11:52am Fuzzy: Ozark is very good.
	11:52am Frank In Queens: Hey, Jellyfish!
	11:52am clarke: i like Ozark a lot - it gets grim. non-spoiler. i am slightly disappointed with new Fargo season - but, maybe it will get better?
	11:53am cybermaven7: They were actually in quarantine for 7 weeks. Crazy! But I am truly happy they did another season!
	11:53am Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Enjoying all these #1’s!!
	11:54am Ross T.: I hear Jellyfish I post.
	11:54am clarke: well.. Fargo had half the season in the can, but decided to push back their season from spring
	11:54am myron feld: @Clarke: Not loving new Fargo either. Jason Schwartzman as 1950s Midwest mafioso = really bad.
	11:54am spodiodi: hey Handy, it's acool sunny morning, and i'm happy to be here. breakfast time too :) how are you?
	11:55am clarke: i usually love schwartzman in everything (including Listen Up Phillip!), but there is something not falling 'together' about this season..?? can't explain it, really.
	11:55am Fuzzy: Yes, Ozark has it's harsh moments, like Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul...there has to be at least one more season of Ozark coming (and BCS too!)
	11:56am Ross T.: Standing up drummers theme show!
	11:56am Hoboken Jack: Was the Jellyfish track the theme to a Courtship of Eddie's Father reboot?
	11:56am Handy Haversack: Late breakfast on the cooker here too, spod. It's lovely out. I think I'll take the whole shebang outside once the food is ready.
	11:56am clarke: i heard that Ozark just started resuming production
	11:57am Fuzzy: Nice!
	11:57am clarke: i also heard about this rocktobah thang
	11:57am clarke: from the new dept
	11:58am spodiodi: bon appetit, Handy! like the badges!
	11:58am paul: Same melody as "husbands and wives."
	11:59am Hoboken Jack: I wasn't crazy about the first Fargo episode, but by the end of the second I feel like it's coming together? I had enjoyed the first two seasons of Ozark despite its absurdity, but this latest season I couldn't get past the first episode.
	11:59am Hubig Pie: Quite an upbeat reimagining of this one
	12:00pm clarke: i didn't mind the histrionics of the KC mob, that wasn't what turned me off... i just don't know. maybe they'll connect some dots and blow my mind.
	12:01pm paul: Looks like an aromatherapy gadget.
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Brooklyn! Way to represent!
	12:02pm clarke: it might be that chris rock is just not believable??
	12:02pm Sean: Those are the first two episodes of FARGO I've ever seen and I thought it looked really good. Maybe it's a matter of surprise -vs- expectation. I guess I'll start with the worst season and work backwards.
	12:02pm TVP: Way late on this, but I remember reading this a while back: apparently Bazooka Joe's eyes are fine, he just likes wearing a patch: https://www.straightdope.com/21342368/how-did-bazooka-joe-lose-his-right-eye
	12:03pm clarke: the other seasons are totally rewarding - and all are (slightly) connected
	12:03pm Sean: Hey, you kids better be careful or someone's gonna lose an eye!
	12:04pm clarke: (and all seasons are slightly connected to the film Fargo, as well, of course)
	12:04pm ?: Dennis, or anyone else. Was Shake Some Action getting airplay? Did they get attention at all at the time?
	12:05pm clarke: Don Grady's Ugga Bugga comes to mind (from My Three Sons, season 4)
	12:05pm clarke: no - the flamin' groovies got NO airplay - but i heard them on college radio
	12:06pm Moammar: IT'S ... THEM BONGOS! AGAIN!
	12:06pm clarke: my donation money went straight towards the bongo feet.
	12:08pm Michael Shelley: AMEN CLARKE
	12:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: My husband just asked if this is the Toy Dolls
	12:08pm myron feld: Michael, the first time I heard "Cage" on your show, I went right out (to my laptop) and bought the album. Thanks!
	12:09pm Ross T.: Flamin' Groovies zero airplay in South Florida. #1 in my house.
	12:10pm clarke: in more detail: WTUL (new orleans) had a show called Smace's Oldies Show which was amazingly close to what WFMU became later. he used to play Teenage Head almost every week. when the Shake Some Action album came out - i spotted it in the cut-out section! the groovies NEVER got much radio love, sadly.
	12:11pm Handy Haversack: This song sounds like it has the potential to catch on.
	12:11pm Ross T.: Groovies were covered in various periodicals. I discovered them via "Supersnazz" for $1.99 in the bargain bin.
	12:12pm DaveinPA: amazing demo!
	12:12pm ?: For the week ending Sept. 11, '76, Billboard reported that Shake Some Action was a "star performer," i.e., made substantial progress on the charts that week. The Groovies jumped from 174 to 164 on the Top LPs and Tape chart that week.
	12:12pm Frank In Queens: If Pete's demos were the official versions of the songs, they'd still be amazing!
	12:13pm clarke: oh well, yes - the groovies DID get mentions in Hit Parader and Creem, to be sure - but it did not transfer to airplay.
	12:13pm Dennis Diken: Re: SSA, I forget if I heard it before I bought it but it was covered in Bomp, etc & there was a big buzz about it
	12:13pm KWilde: Love these demos - anyone who missed Spazz on Thursday don’t miss the archive
	12:13pm Hubig Pie: clarke, WTUL was my gateway drug to WFMU
	12:14pm Ross T.: I remember the Greg Shaw coverage of "SSA" in Bomp -- basically said it was the best album ever. he was correct.
	12:14pm clarke: i was lucky enough to drum with loney and jordan at some dive bar in SF, in the late 80's - one of my all-time top thrills in life.
	12:15pm Ross T.: Salute!
	12:15pm Frank Zaatar: For a moment there I thought that was the Beach Boys covering My Generation. There seems to be a bit of a California twang in Pete's delivery.
	12:15pm clarke: the who were HUUUUGE beach boys fans!!
	12:16pm clarke: looLin'?? asst producer would be shamed
	12:17pm Morphe': Jose Luis en Madrid .... currently in NYC but normally also en Madrid - near Plz Olivide" one day - not en a cafe.... ???? Handy - this afternoon 4pm ish??? or wext week????? Michael - as I always say -from my friends 80s band V-Effect "Stop Playing Those Songs!!!!!" I can't leave the house and do the shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	12:17pm Dean: That was me w/ the Billboard bit @12:12. Probably heard SSA on KROQ at the time. I've purchased three copies over the years. Two for me, one for a friend who hadn't heard of the Groovies. By Oct. 2, '76, SSA had charted for seven weeks and sat at 142, two slots below The Ramones on their 18th week on the chart.
	12:20pm McGroovey: Bazooka music reminds me of these Barbie-like dolls my sisters had that came with a record with holes for the dolls' feet in the label area. When you played the record, you put (they put) they dolls on the holes, and the dolls "dancing" (actually just rotated around standing in the middle of the record). I think the dolls reach had names, and they were the "singers". Some of the songs were pretty good. Once in a while one of the songs pops into my head, but not right now.
	12:21pm Roberto: Ain't none betta than Sister Rosetta.
	12:22pm middlebun: Piano and organ? Of course it is in C.
	12:22pm Greg from ZONE 5: I think that's a safe compromise.
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: Michael, that's exactly what we're doing. And yes, expect the first kid to come to empty the bowl every time you fill it.
	12:22pm clarke: that could be because of Fargo!
	12:23pm Thurston Howl: Sister Tharpe famous for her white SG Les Paul
	12:23pm Mister Dobalina: I just laughed. Drummer...
	12:23pm Michael Shelley: Exactly Frank!
	12:23pm Mailman Tom: I watched Caveman last night. It stars Ringo Starr and it's a funny movie!
	12:24pm Andres: I concur with Michael's statement.
	12:24pm Mister Dobalina: How about a candy catapult that is activated when your bell is rung. Or maybe with a motion sensor that flings m&m's at kids.
	12:24pm Morphe': Michael - that headpiece on top of the speaker in the windo looks like Ken?????
	12:25pm clarke: i have heard that ringo was in complete awe of jim keltner and had semi-drummer-self-esteem issues due to the white album fiasco
	12:25pm Dean: Aug. 12, '76, SSA radio action noted on WWWW-FM, Detroit.
	12:25pm Frank In Queens: I miss Ian McLagan.
	12:26pm clarke: although ringo's playing post-white album is so great (thinking of the film Let It Be, here)!! the "rogers era"
	12:27pm clarke: that whole mclagan album is a treasure!
	12:27pm Ross T.: Ringo wasn't Lennon and McCartney most obviously but the Beatles were greater because of him.
	12:28pm clarke: 49
	12:28pm Greg from ZONE 5: Hudson County NJ has more people than Wyoming.
	12:29pm Moammar: Wyoming: Fewer people than DC. Fewer people than Puerto Rico. Just saying.
	12:30pm Hubig Pie: Wyoming: it's the country you flee to after a bank heist.
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: Hey, morphe'! We are pretty tightly planned up for some reason these few days. We are free Monday afternoon, I think? Kate after 5, though I can get free by fourish. Then we're getting out of the city on Thu. Back next Mon.
	12:30pm Ross T.: On "Take No Prisoners" I believe Lewis Reed said (paraphrasing) "You ever met anyone from Wyoming? Not me."
	12:30pm clarke: (although only technically "in" hawaii passing thru at honolulu airport) - so: 48
	12:31pm johnk77: great show again today ian mclagan book all the rage is excellent
	12:31pm anon in Louisiana: thanks for the great tunes
	12:32pm clarke: thnx johnk77 - i would like to read that!
	12:33pm Mister Dobalina: Guess no one liked my candy catapult idea. Drats..
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: I had a good friend in college from Wyoming. He dropped out, went back and got his HS band, and brought them back to NYC to reinvent themselves as an experimental rock sensation. He told me he was driving in the middle of the night on the way back and listening to the VU. One of his bandmates woke up during that section of "Heroin" and asked, "What is this?" My friend's response: "1966, baby!"
	12:34pm clarke: you obviously have never had a Popeye's Spicy Chicken Sandwich - dreams galore!
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: 24 years later and I miss NONE of it.
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: Same, Frank! Same.
	12:35pm Dean: I believe I went all summer without once hearing SMK's stand-by "Barbecue" tribute.
	12:35pm Frank In Queens: Damn Handy, that #1 next to your name is quite fetching.
	12:36pm clarke: s'ok frank - i make a helluva "cole" slaw - i call it hot slaw, tho
	12:36pm Hams: i've never had a good veggie dumpling.
	12:36pm johnk77: @clarke u r welcome my ex-roommate from the road gregg sutton even shows up in ian's book a few times in regards to funny stories about touring w/dylan
	12:36pm Roberto: Oh was there a question about missing meat? That's a no from this 30-years vegan.
	12:36pm Frank In Queens: Oh, "hot slaw" you say? Tell me more!
	12:37pm Dennis Diken: Alaska is the only state I’ve not visited
	12:37pm Squints: At first I thought this was John Wesley Harding.
	12:37pm Michael Shelley: cabbage dumpling!
	12:37pm Hoboken Jack: #TeamMeat
	12:37pm Ross T.: I like Jersey best.
	12:38pm Hoboken Jack: Squints: good call!
	12:38pm Dean: I've been to both Southern and Northern California. Drove through Jefferson once.
	12:38pm myron feld: 41 states and not a vegetarian, although my wife is a pescawhatever so we don't have much meat anyway. However, the greatest single food in the world is Louie Mueller's brisket in Taylor, TX.
	12:39pm Mister Dobalina: Pescawhatever...hahahah
	12:39pm Frank Zaatar: I'd forgotten this was originally an Everly Brothers song.
	12:40pm Squints: I like this Supah Freak covah, theah.
	12:40pm Squints: FZ: Heh.
	12:40pm clarke: Hot Slaw is my cajun version of cole slaw. chop all the cabbage for slaw, add: onions, garlic, bell pepper, celery, sharp cheddar cheese - all diced to slaw-size. instead of mayo - use ranch dressing made with creole mustard (zatarain's preferably!) and of course tabasco/crystal sauce and cayenne pepper, etc.
	12:40pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: this cover version is really soothing.
	12:40pm Hoboken Jack: Myron, I second Mueller's BBQ and Clarke, I recently made my first pandemic visit to Popeye's for that excellent sandwich.
	12:41pm Hubig Pie: I been all over the world and The Gulf of Mexico
	12:41pm Moammar: Myron, I'm right with you on Louis Mueller. Sam's in Austin is a sentimental favorite. Showed up at 2 a.m. once and found Gibby Haynes there.
	12:41pm clarke: HJ - it is the ONE thing that lives up to its hype!
	12:41pm Frank In Queens: Cheese and ranch! Oofa!
	12:42pm clarke: its a hit at (most) bbq's (too spicy for some yanks, tho)
	12:42pm Martinibomb: That super freak cover was killer
	12:43pm Hoboken Jack: PF Sloan sounds kinda like Loudon Wainwright, or I guess, vice versa.
	12:43pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: @Moammar I enjoyed BBQ at Sam's sometime before midnight in the 1990s. All I remember is that Michael Jordan and the Bulls were playing on TV and Jordan scored more than 50 pts.
	12:43pm clarke: pf sloan sounds like whomever he tries to sound like!
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: Spice don't scare me. Richness however, does!
	12:45pm Frank In Queens: I can't disagree, Michael.
	12:45pm Kate in NJ: Jimmy Webb has a song called "PF Sloan" and it's catchy as anything
	12:46pm clarke: was JUST on rampart street, yesterday
	12:47pm clarke: (which turns into St. Claude down the way)
	12:47pm Andres: Too much meat - is something the cats and my dog have ever said about their meals.
	12:48pm johnzo: you're right... meat is like what, 5-10% of chimps' diet? & that's probably mostly insects. I think in our lifetime we may see a big uptick in insect farming/consumption in the western world for moral and practical reasons...
	12:48pm Frank In Queens: I think Westerners would rather eat lab grown meat over insects.
	12:49pm Mister Dobalina: Had some chapulines the other day. Not bad...down with the insects.
	12:50pm Hams: i usually just tell folks it gives me nightmares when asked why i don't eat meat. bad dreams of pigs will keep you up at night.
	12:50pm clarke: you at the office frank?
	12:51pm Frank In Queens: Not today, and not until the end of the month. And then it might be 4 Saturdays in a row.
	12:51pm Mister Dobalina: Pink Floyd pigs..
	12:51pm clarke: no interest in stanley cup i take it?
	12:51pm egould310: I had to interrupt my jog to roll my eyes at your “Grover” joke. Cornier than Kansas in July. Nice show, Mike.
	12:51pm ChrisB.: Rocktober! I won!
	12:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Pretenders are good.
	12:52pm clarke: hey now - 4 saturdays! that's all ROCKTOBAH!
	12:52pm Squints: The notion of eating insects really bugs me.
	12:52pm DjLorraine: Pretenders!
	12:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Michael. For those playing COVID-19 Bingo, put a token on the Chris Christie square.
	12:53pm Squints: If I'm going to eat a bug, I'd go straight to crab or lobster.
	12:53pm Frank In Queens: Little interest. I watched a couple of games including the last one. Was pulling for Dallas as I didn't quite appreciate some of the nonsense Tampa pulled against the Isles. But they clearly were the better team and Hedman was absolutely dynamite this post-season and rightfully deserved the Conn Smythe.
	12:54pm clarke: gotcha!
	12:55pm McGroovey: I need to go on a Robbie Fulks bender. But not until after Todd's show.
	12:55pm clarke: weird year for sports - or anything
	12:55pm listener 126464: Hey everybody. Thanks again Michael, and skeletons!
	12:55pm Hams: dobalina, yep.
	12:56pm Listener Bop Monroe: another great show today. thnx again and have a great rest of yer weekend Mr. MS!
	12:56pm Ross T.: Flamin' Groovies, Stanley Cup, eating bugs -- I think we covered everything.
	12:56pm clarke: oh yes - appreciate the woof-moo!! down here on Wuzzle Street!!
	12:56pm Corey: Great show, Michael! A quick two hours closer to Saturday night. Take care all.
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Rocktober!
	12:58pm clarke: i think you're drunk.
	12:58pm KWilde: Wipper!!
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: Tommy and The Bull! Jesus...
	12:59pm Hoboken Jack: Happy Rocktober! Thanks Michael and Ruth! Hello Todd, Dennis, Jeff, HP Ken, anybody I missed!! And I continue to miss you all!
	12:59pm Mister Dobalina: Too many drinkie poohs!
	1:00pm radioronan: Thanks Michael. Thanks skeleton crew!
	1:00pm Ross T.: Thumbs up
	1:00pm Frank In Queens: Cheers Kids! I wonder what adventures and treasures will be in store for us this coming week?
	1:01pm Mister Dobalina: Pirates booty. Great show as always!
	1:05pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! Got called away from the keyboard there at the end but was listening the whole time.
