	3:47pm katharsis: Opps sighing I mean the mothers are sighing
	3:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oooo - Children of Nuggets track from Bawwwstin!
	3:48pm Sid: A WNYU/WLIR hit!
	3:50pm Sid: WFNX and WBOS were playing it in The Boss Town too.
	3:51pm Lyle: The Hollies. That was a band. I recall one wintery North Dakota night. Pembina, I think it was. A high school prom. At that time, I was doing a brief stint with the Pozo Seco Singers, that is, until Don Williams got too big for his britches and left us. Anyway, we were doing a few dates with the Hollies on a swing through the northern states, and they were amiable enough fellows. Not exactly at the height of their fame, in fact, they were at a bit of a low career point, I would have to say, and were a little dispirited, to say the least. They had gone from headlining the larger sheds of the day to, well, playing proms in North Dakota. We, on the other hand, were used to a lower level of fame, and were content to forego our own original compositions to play Color My World, or whatever the kids and the chaperones wanted to hear. --- At one point, I was smoking a cigarette on the playground with Graham Nash. His might not have been a traditional cigarette, come to think of it, and his thoughts and actions were a little bit "out there" to say the least. All of the sudden he started wailing on a tetherball, striking it as it went round and round its mooring pole, its little rope getting shorter and shorter as it made its diminishing orbits. It was a bit of a metaphor, in hindsight, for a man at the proverbial "end of his rope." He was cursing under his breath as he struck the ball, with each slap of cold rubber, he would say the name of one of his band members, not with disdain, neccesarily, but with the deep fatigue and desperateness of a man who had had quite enough. He was over being a Hollie. He mentioned to me that he had been dallying with the idea of joining up with Stills, and Nash, and that he was quite taken with a young woman named Joni, but that he was contractually bound to the Hollies through 1971. At this point, he physically used his boot to kick and bend the tetherball pole, and I had to beg him to stop. "Stop bending that pole," I said. To which he replied, "sod off," as he walked away, and that was the last exchange we ever had. I read in a Crawdaddy magazine not long after that he had split The Hollies and had taken up with the afformentioned Stills and Nash. In actuality, I did a few gigs with The Hollies, trying to substitute Nash' high soaring vocal notes with matching trombone parts, but, it just wasn't working and the band grew to resent me. That's how it is for a 'bone player. They need you, but they hate you. It goes with the territory. Great show Todd.
	3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lotsa people absolutely nailing a Retro sound these days!
	3:53pm TheLoneliestMonk: did anyone besides me go to the roky show at monty?
	3:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Lyle ferinstance...
	3:54pm Sean B.: What IS all this Rock & Roll nonsense? Oh wait nonsense is GOOD for you!. Hey! Does anybody know if The Kinks are going to actually reunite, for real!?.
	3:58pm Sean B.: It's an important question guys; So many conflicting "answers" to that question floating around out there.
	3:58pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Like, if I close my eyes, I can still see that Fantabulous eye melting lightshow. Psych-o-Delic pandemonium!. I & my macular degeneration will never be the same
	4:01pm Elle Tor's Husband: OK - consider my mind blown. I saw Rocky at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in SF and it was kinda depressing. I think the "Bluegrass" tag throws artists in that they try to get too "rootsy ". I thought Rocky might be slipping. I was fucking wrong! This ROCKS!
	🎸 ♥ 4:02pm Hackensack Slim: Hey Todd, Another fine show. Roky's sounding real good.
	4:02pm rw: Wow. This is amazing.
	4:02pm TheLoneliestMonk: yeah, but who's bright idea was it to have roky perform in the dark with naught but a projected lava lamp for illumination?
	4:03pm Elle Tor's Husband: Sorry "Roky" fuck spell-check!
	4:03pm Keith in Columbus: Outstanding! Great dinner prep set!
	4:04pm rw: The band sounds great and Roky's voice... you can hear all the years in there!
	4:05pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Great shows from Roky this week...I thought the balance of Elevators and solo material was perfect.
	4:06pm Sid: Re The Kinks, Ray is only talking about an album so far I believe.
	4:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In his prime - strong candidate for Best Rawk Voice Ever fergawdsake. @ 71...all he's been thru...AWE.
	4:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dennis Diken on Drums for Ray & Dave ?? : )) ...just an idea!...
	4:10pm hotroddog1957: i was THERE
	4:11pm V Priceless: Hey Lyle - long time no read!
	4:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DAYUM
	4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: www.facebook.com...
	4:20pm Your Ace From Exchange Place: Damn that sounds good!
	4:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...for being on one of the (if not Thee) 1st albums w/ 'Psychedelic' in the title in 1966 - tune holds up pretty damn good (!!)...
	♥ 4:28pm spodiodi: so good
	4:30pm Sid: Hüsker's sound on the WB albums was exemplary given that it's a major label.
	4:31pm josh: Yes TODD! Fav DU jam!
	4:32pm olgumbah: in the garage with an old bogen very hot last hour with Roky to husker du,...
	4:32pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Grant Hart was a very underrated songwriter.
	4:38pm Sean B.: Thank you for the info @Sid !.
	4:40pm Sid: Indeed, I first truly appreciated Grant Hart's songwriting when Marshall Crenshaw covered 2541.
	4:42pm Sid: Then went back and listened to Hart's solo and Dü compositions with a new ear.
	4:44pm Sid: And..... volume to 11.
	4:50pm Sid: You're welcome, Sean B.; just what I've read in the music press.
	4:56pm Neb Ydoom: Love ya Todd you're the best!
	4:56pm Sean B.: One Band I want to see live before I go man @Sid for sure. I regret never seeing The Who when Entwhistle was alive I'll tell ya that.
	4:56pm Sid: Yawn.... play a record, Todd.
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Say it Brother.
	4:57pm blleding gums murphy: God bless you, Todd. Few have been so truthful about the state of political affairs.
	4:57pm George in WO: Right on, TOPT!!
	4:57pm elkeno: Wow. Todd thanks for stating your view on election day. Vote! Vote GOP out of power!
	4:58pm essodame: Good man, Todd!
	4:58pm Tim from LH: You nailed it Todd, 100%
	♥ 4:58pm spodiodi: Well said, Todd-o-phonic Todd!
	4:58pm Ignore Function: Amen
	4:58pm bleeding gums murphy: Hey george...it's mark from wohs...good to hear (read) your voice
	4:58pm prudy: yeah, what does it mean?
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm Corey: Word
	4:59pm hotroddog1957: POLITICAL BULLSHIT GOOD BY
	4:59pm Patster: Love ya, Todd!
	4:59pm Miss Georgia Peach: Love. Thanks.
	5:00pm ?: weeding out the snowflakes, good job TOPT!
	5:00pm scott: Todd, I voted early and I did not see Satan running.
	5:00pm Victor Paredes: Do us all a favor tide and stick for the music. Stay the hell out of politics especially when you're spewing lies about a man was giving you the Lewis Black and Latino unemployment in history and you're trying to make him out to be some kind of racist. We also have the lowest unemployment since 1969, Isis reduce the 1% of the land is used to hold which means I can't read Christian girls around the clock like they used to or so people on fire we are 4% GDP growth for the first time in ages or energy in the planning for the first time since the late 50s. We Are The Poisonwood finally after 40 years has told the Chinese to stop screen is over and it's called the Europeans to play the wrong way. So once again, do us all a favor and speak with music and stop speeding the fucking bullshit you've been spewing about politics.
	5:00pm George in WO: Hi Mark M! Go Mountaineers.
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they came for the Jews - but I was not a Jew...
	5:01pm bleeding gums murphy: scott-you must not be in nj-11
	5:01pm Dungaroos Kipawah: I 'm with you kid. Well put
	5:02pm sissophonic Cheryl: Well said honey
	5:03pm prudy: Victor, i hope you have healthy outlets for your rage.
	🎸 ♥ 5:03pm Corey: The notion that you can disregard politics - ESPECIALLY in the Trump era - is both a sign of entitlement and immorality. Thanks for the words, Todd.
	♥ 5:04pm Clay Pigeon: Nice Petty! Gainesville's finest.
	♥ 5:06pm spodiodi: Never heard this version before. Cool.
	5:07pm sissophonic Cheryl: This is freeform radio, it's appropriate to give your opinions from time to time. If you don't like what you are listening to, you are completely free to listen to something else. It's important for people to stand up for what is right at this point in history, especially when they have a platform like this. We have to stand up and be counted on the side of right. Very proud of you, Todd, thank you again for your words.
	5:07pm Sean B.: It's not too hard to cry In these crying times I'll take a broken heart And take it home in parts But I will never fade I was in this place By the first church of the city I saw tears on the face The face of a visionary Though I will disappear To join the street parade Disappear and fade Into the street parade
	5:07pm ?: The Southern Accents album sans Dave Stewart involvement one of the all-time Petty what-ifs
	5:09pm Bklyn Listener: Yyyeeeaaa!!!
	5:14pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Why the pro-confederacy songs after the anti-Trump (anti-racist?) talk and drive by truckers song?
	5:17pm medson: Checking in late. Show sounds great TOPT
	5:17pm elkeno: There's a Rolling Stone article on TP & Rebels...a quote "“Look, this was to illustrate a character. This is not who we are. Having gone through this, I would prefer it if no one would ever bring a Confederate flag to our shows again because this isn’t who we are.”"
	5:18pm ?: the petty song isn't pro-confederate. The subject's Confederate identity has trapped him into a life of failure in a modern world he doesn’t understand and cannot navigate.
	5:19pm ?: and if you think drive by truckers are 'pro-confederacy' perhaps try google
	5:22pm prudy: thanks for playing this song with Wareham. Haven't heard anything by him for a while.
	5:23pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Didn’t think that about the drive by truckers. And thanks for the Petty insight. Have had mixed feelings (misunderstanding?) about The Band song fir a fee years now.
	5:24pm flashbazbo: The Lewis Black and Latino unemployment figure will be critical on Tuesday. Let's put Lewis black on the dole and save democracy!
	5:29pm scott: Locks on doors are as evil as borders, even guns in holsters, please come and take as you please. I can't feed my own but maybe you can lick their bones and survive a day more.
	5:29pm herb.nyc: Thank you, Todd, for yr commie pinko fag comments about the upcoming elections! I will write-in YOU for a position on my ballot.
	5:32pm Mrcab: I can't support a party that manipulates freedom of speech and tries to manufacture consent .
	5:47pm Mrcab: The people who run Google YouTube fake book etc have an obvious agenda. Is that one of your morals or values? Think for yourself that's the best one of all
	5:52pm geezerette: Todd & Cheryl, Great music!!! Appreciate your open-heartedness as much as the psychydelic sounds. :D
	5:54pm as from mp: I look forward to going to the archives later to hear those comments I missed, based on the vitriol that was spewed hereon thereafter - Rock on Todd, thanks for speaking out -
	5:56pm Ignore Function: Saw Shannon and the Clams and Dirty Fences this week. Awesomeness ensued.
	6:00pm katharsis: Thank you
	6:00pm geezerette: GODDAMN !!! Barrence Whitfield !!! :)
	8:41pm JakeGould: Hey Todd! Didn’t get to listen live this week, and have not heard what you said about politics, but just want to say—as always—thank you for whatever you said. There’s a lot of craziness out there and I know some listeners don’t like to hear that on the air, but I know you fight the good fight. Anyone defending what is happening now is not right in the head. THANK YOU TODD!!!
	♥ 7:57am ultradamno: Great Roky set and laudable political statement, Todd!
	6:14pm Sal Robert Pauciello: It is great that you played part of the set from Roky Erickson's October 30th show. I was there and it was quite psychedelic!

He mentioned to me that he had been dallying with the idea of joining up with Stills, and Nash, and that he was quite taken with a young woman named Joni, but that he was contractually bound to the Hollies through 1971.

	4:59pm Patster: Love ya, Todd!
	4:59pm Miss Georgia Peach: Love. Thanks.
	5:00pm ?: weeding out the snowflakes, good job TOPT!
	5:00pm scott: Todd, I voted early and I did not see Satan running.
	5:00pm Victor Paredes: Do us all a favor tide and stick for the music. Stay the hell out of politics especially when you're spewing lies about a man was giving you the Lewis Black and Latino unemployment in history and you're trying to make him out to be some kind of racist. We also have the lowest unemployment since 1969, Isis reduce the 1% of the land is used to hold which means I can't read Christian girls around the clock like they used to or so people on fire we are 4% GDP growth for the first time in ages or energy in the planning for the first time since the late 50s. We Are The Poisonwood finally after 40 years has told the Chinese to stop screen is over and it's called the Europeans to play the wrong way. So once again, do us all a favor and speak with music and stop speeding the fucking bullshit you've been spewing about politics.
	5:00pm George in WO: Hi Mark M! Go Mountaineers.
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they came for the Jews - but I was not a Jew...

	5:02pm sissophonic Cheryl: Well said honey
	5:03pm prudy: Victor, i hope you have healthy outlets for your rage.
	🎸 ♥ 5:03pm Corey: The notion that you can disregard politics - ESPECIALLY in the Trump era - is both a sign of entitlement and immorality. Thanks for the words, Todd.
	♥ 5:04pm Clay Pigeon: Nice Petty! Gainesville's finest.
	♥ 5:06pm spodiodi: Never heard this version before. Cool.
	5:07pm sissophonic Cheryl: This is freeform radio, it's appropriate to give your opinions from time to time. If you don't like what you are listening to, you are completely free to listen to something else. It's important for people to stand up for what is right at this point in history, especially when they have a platform like this. We have to stand up and be counted on the side of right. Very proud of you, Todd, thank you again for your words.
	5:07pm Sean B.: It's not too hard to cry In these crying times I'll take a broken heart And take it home in parts But I will never fade I was in this place By the first church of the city I saw tears on the face The face of a visionary Though I will disappear To join the street parade Disappear and fade Into the street parade
	5:07pm ?: The Southern Accents album sans Dave Stewart involvement one of the all-time Petty what-ifs
	5:09pm Bklyn Listener: Yyyeeeaaa!!!
	5:14pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Why the pro-confederacy songs after the anti-Trump (anti-racist?) talk and drive by truckers song?
	5:17pm medson: Checking in late. Show sounds great TOPT
	5:17pm elkeno: There's a Rolling Stone article on TP & Rebels...a quote "“Look, this was to illustrate a character. This is not who we are. Having gone through this, I would prefer it if no one would ever bring a Confederate flag to our shows again because this isn’t who we are.”"
	5:18pm ?: the petty song isn't pro-confederate. The subject's Confederate identity has trapped him into a life of failure in a modern world he doesn’t understand and cannot navigate.
	5:19pm ?: and if you think drive by truckers are 'pro-confederacy' perhaps try google
	5:22pm prudy: thanks for playing this song with Wareham. Haven't heard anything by him for a while.
	5:23pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Didn’t think that about the drive by truckers. And thanks for the Petty insight. Have had mixed feelings (misunderstanding?) about The Band song fir a fee years now.
	5:24pm flashbazbo: The Lewis Black and Latino unemployment figure will be critical on Tuesday. Let's put Lewis black on the dole and save democracy!
	5:29pm scott: Locks on doors are as evil as borders, even guns in holsters, please come and take as you please. I can't feed my own but maybe you can lick their bones and survive a day more.
	5:29pm herb.nyc: Thank you, Todd, for yr commie pinko fag comments about the upcoming elections! I will write-in YOU for a position on my ballot.
	5:32pm Mrcab: I can't support a party that manipulates freedom of speech and tries to manufacture consent .
	5:47pm Mrcab: The people who run Google YouTube fake book etc have an obvious agenda. Is that one of your morals or values? Think for yourself that's the best one of all
	5:52pm geezerette: Todd & Cheryl, Great music!!! Appreciate your open-heartedness as much as the psychydelic sounds. :D
	5:54pm as from mp: I look forward to going to the archives later to hear those comments I missed, based on the vitriol that was spewed hereon thereafter - Rock on Todd, thanks for speaking out -
	5:56pm Ignore Function: Saw Shannon and the Clams and Dirty Fences this week. Awesomeness ensued.
	6:00pm katharsis: Thank you
	6:00pm geezerette: GODDAMN !!! Barrence Whitfield !!! :)
	8:41pm JakeGould: Hey Todd! Didn’t get to listen live this week, and have not heard what you said about politics, but just want to say—as always—thank you for whatever you said. There’s a lot of craziness out there and I know some listeners don’t like to hear that on the air, but I know you fight the good fight. Anyone defending what is happening now is not right in the head. THANK YOU TODD!!!
	♥ 7:57am ultradamno: Great Roky set and laudable political statement, Todd!
	6:14pm Sal Robert Pauciello: It is great that you played part of the set from Roky Erickson's October 30th show. I was there and it was quite psychedelic!
