	11:05am Jeff: Mike Love is the Devil!
	11:06am clarke: Baby -- ok, got time to tell about the east coast trip??
	11:07am davefromtoronto: i hope Al didn't pull a jonathan richman on you...
	11:08am Dennis Diken: pretty sure BW did TM when the band first got into it. he says so in interviews from the day, anyhoo. and there's that pic of the band sitting with the guru from '67/'68 and Bri is there with them.
	11:08am gf2002: Brian did do TM before the others, but it wasn't called TM at that time in LA...late '66, early '67 with McGuinn and other Byrds there too. Sort of a mini-scene happening in hip LA circles in late '66. Subud too. Brian was studying TM into '68 but gave it up. He wrote a letter to the maharishi in '68 asking him to allow Mike Love to return to LA from India to finish his parts for the Friends album...
	♥ 11:09am harry j: hey we don't call it rhodesia no mo
	♥ 11:09am Michael Shelley: Thanks for the low down!
	11:10am Jelly Jim: Yeah! Beach Boys on a UK afternoon
	♥ 11:10am Rebeccca: I AM LISTENING IN REAL TIME! And also, taking a load off my feet.
	11:11am Dennis: Ah.... Landlocked mix of TALOYF. Nice.
	♥ 11:11am TDK60: Morning, DJ Michael.
	11:11am Dennis Diken: @gf2002: great lore, thanks! wow, a permission slip/hall pass written to the guru from Bri!!
	♥ 11:13am Listener Baby: Hi Clarke. My daughter loved Boston. They stayed where you suggested. Ate where you and Handy suggested. Weather was great. Flights home were a disaster. Loved both campuses. It so much $$$$, not sure if we can swing it. She visits UC Santa Cruz in a day or two. Thanks for asking.
	11:13am clarke: prior to TM, brian attempted meditation to calm his fears of going on tour, though.
	11:15am clarke: BABY: good news (mostly)! hope some financial aid or scholarship comes yer way!! but, also, think about the travel costs, wow.
	11:15am gf2002: @Dennis Diken, That letter Brian wrote to the maharishi actually went up for auction a few years ago, it was pretty crazy to read! Brian trying to get a hall pass for Mike haha...Then there are the stories of Mike Love's time at the ashram in '68, wheeling and dealing various contraband to his fellow meditators, that's a separate discussion lol
	♥ 11:15am Michael Shelley: WOW - Rebecca - welcome - SO SO happy you're caught up & live!
	♥ 11:15am greg g: Listening from the car for the first time. Morning Michael and all!!
	♥ 11:16am Ciggy: Out in the yard. Playing your show as loud as possible!
	♥ 11:16am Listener Baby: Zero help from anywhere on the horizon. Unless she wins a scholarship for a few bucks here or there. It’s all on us. Bummed to be sure
	11:17am clarke: that doesn't mean the trip wasn't worth it!!
	11:17am Dennis Diken: @gf2002 - too much! is that letter on the web? would love to see it. and hear more about Mike's doings in India!
	♥ 11:17am TDK60: Got to see Brian Wilson & group in '18. Al was there and in top form. He really gets into it.
	11:17am Aldo: Is there anything weirder than a 10-year old math geek listening to The Beach Boys on a Saturday after- - morning while thinking about complex numbers?
	♥ 11:18am Listener Baby: Mostly yes. I always kind of questioned the merit of the trip. We are swinging in the breeze, if you get my drift.
	11:18am Aldo: Just in case you couldn’t tell, I meant me.
	11:19am clarke: i get the drift - and a strange time to travel. but, a good experience, thinks me.
	♥ 11:19am spodiodi: Dennis Dragon!
	11:19am Lewis: @Aldo - sounds about right to me! and good luck with the complex numbers, they were the point where I moved into more empirical fields of study...
	♥ 11:19am spodiodi: rip Captain
	♥ 11:20am Listener Baby: I think they loved getting out and about. Boston sounds like a beautiful place.
	11:20am clarke: another DD!!
	11:20am Joe W.: Loving this!
	11:20am clarke: some of boston is lovely. SOME.
	11:21am phat in Lincoln: I was just reading Darryl Dragon's Wikipedia page and the saga about his last years was very strange. And the "official" story is unbelievable.
	♥ 11:22am McGroovey: You have one of those speaker surveillance things? ... Huh.
	♥ 11:22am spodiodi: didn't know Dennis Dragon played with Beach Boys. crazy
	♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: Heh, clarke.
	♥ 11:23am Pedro in Arlington: Mike - I saw the Al Jardine interview early this morning posted on the podcast but I decided to wait for the show. Listening early would have been cheating, right?
	11:23am smevvyk: You just mentioned Dennis dragon and having had just about everyone in or associated with the band, but have you had Toni on? Din she play pianer with them for awhile at the end before she and Daryl took off?
	11:25am Dennis Downes: Mike, 5 minutes before you said something, I was thinking how suddenly the Beach Boys reminds me of NRBQ! I love the rarities! Dennis D
	♥ 11:25am Michael Shelley: I have reached out to Toni!
	11:25am clarke: is all this "new" album merely a re-issue?
	♥ 11:26am Michael Shelley: McGroovey: yeah, and you can tell it "play wfmu"
	11:26am clarke: put another way - is there actual new material on the new jardine album?
	11:27am gf2002: @Dennis Diken It used to be available, I may have a screen shot of it. It was part of an auction from the Milton Love estate that had private letters and photos found in a dresser owned by Milton. The gist of it was "please have Mike be allowed to return to finish recording" or something like that lol. Some of the India stories came from Paul McCartney who said Mike Love had a black market running at the ashram selling things "not allowed" during the studies
	♥ 11:29am Hoboken Jack: Good morning Michael, Ruth, Frank, Baby, Handy, Bagpipe, Dennis, Spodes, McGroove, all and Al!
	♥ 11:30am Listener Baby: Hi Jack!
	♥ 11:30am spodiodi: my mom has two google spy devices running in her home, and i can't not think about it listening to her side of our phone convos [and everything else]) yo Jack!
	♥ 11:30am Handy Haversack: Morning, Jack! Bagpipe confirms: Saturday!
	♥ 11:31am Frank Zaatar: @gf2002: Didn't Mike Love contribute the "Ukraine girls really knock me out" bridge on Paul's "USSR?"
	11:31am Bri: I feel your paranoia Spodi, thankfully don’t own or trust any google/Amazon device, but I was worried for a while that people were listening in on my phone conversations
	♥ 11:32am Michael Shelley: spodiodi: if you can point me to specific research about the downside of the speakers I'd love to see it.
	11:32am Lewis: @spoidiodi "are you sure it is only her side?", he asked in an unhelpful poke toward paranoia...
	♥ 11:32am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Luckily toddler down for a nap just in time for the interview!
	♥ 11:34am Michael Shelley: www.change.org...
	♥ 11:35am Listener Baby: Baby. Are you vacuuming?
	11:35am clarke: lucky toddler!!
	♥ 11:35am coelacanth∅: Al seems like a very decent guy
	♥ 11:35am Michael Shelley: Super nice guy
	11:36am phat in Lincoln: Exciting new release!
	11:36am Bri: I was paranoid that all Bluetooth speakers were listening in on my conversations
	♥ 11:37am Frank Zaatar: I would totally pick up a Feel Flows compilation. I'm a big fan of the The WB years.
	11:38am gf2002: @Frank Supposedly McCartney was playing the song in raw form for Mike, and it needed a bridge, so Mike suggested he talk about the girls from different parts of Russia like he had done in the California Girls lyrics. I think McCartney actually wrote those lyrics himself after Mike suggested that angle to him.
	11:38am clarke: i don't think that the devices are just LISTENING, but the potential for law enforcement to tap into ALL devices is there.
	♥ 11:38am coelacanth∅: Bri don't worry your government is benevolent and would never lie to you!
	11:39am Moammar: The Moammardrome is fiercely analog, to the point of complete of complete collapse. All those gizmos freak me out.
	11:39am clarke: what IS happening is your choices are being noted.
	♥ 11:41am James in ATL: Great job interviewing, Michael. Not an easy one.
	♥ 11:41am Listener Baby: Baby. That Tectonic guy would know for certain. Maybe send him a note?
	11:41am clarke: it's a fine line!!
	♥ 11:41am coelacanth∅: gf2002 @1138 that's what i read. Love's suggestion but Macca's composition
	♥ 11:42am spodiodi: Michael Shelley, i'll keep an eye out for something worth reading
	11:43am KWilde: Also Gaslight
	♥ 11:43am Frank Zaatar: @gf2002: That's the story I heard too.
	♥ 11:43am TDK60: The Bitter End still exists. (At least up to the virus times.)
	11:47am clarke: sound advice.
	♥ 11:48am Hoboken Jack: I love my Alexa, am listening on it right now, and call me naive but I think the most sinister thing going on is it makes it very easy to place orders with Amazon. In other news, I would love to see Al Jardine at Joe's Pub! Though who am I kidding, at this point I'd love seeing Rick Astley at Joe's Pub.
	♥ 11:48am Uncle Michael: wrapped in a tortilla
	♥ 11:49am Frank Zaatar: Great job redirecting, Michael. You could be a Google aggregator.
	♥ 11:51am Hughie Considine: Great questions, here, Michael!
	♥ 11:51am spodiodi: nice interview!
	♥ 11:52am Brian C.: Didn't know Rutle Rcky played with the Beach Boys
	11:52am Dennis: Great interview Mike!
	11:52am dawneden: Outstanding job on the interview, Michael. Thank you!
	♥ 11:52am coelacanth∅: Thanks Al! Thanks Michael!
	♥ 11:52am Matt Fiveash: Holy shit that was a great interview MS! Sorry for cursing on yr playlist
	11:53am P-90: Fascinating.
	♥ 11:53am Handy Haversack: Great stuff, MS.
	♥ 11:53am Corey: Well done! Really enjoyed that. Thanks Michael!
	♥ 11:53am Listener Baby: Mad skills, Baby
	11:53am Dennis: For my money (if only I could buy it!) the greatest live version of H&V is Central Park 1970
	11:54am Dennis: From the TV special
	♥ 11:54am TDK60: Great interview.
	11:54am Andres: Morning, Michael and all! I’m sure the pages of questions would have been equally great but happy for the ones you got in. Great interview!
	11:56am zivilars: Al Jardine interview?? Damn, I'm too late ... I did miss it, didn't I?
	11:57am zivilars: Have to catch this one up in the archives
	11:57am Lewis: I find it fascinating that people often only want to talk about the present project. It would seem that a well prepared interviewer (such as MS) would be an interesting distraction from the same old same old...
	♥ 12:02pm Uncle Michael: I find it wholly understandable that many artists only run the media gauntlet in order to promote a new release.
	12:02pm clarke: say hey!!!
	♥ 12:02pm Squints: Crap. He coulda DONE this as a thing.
	♥ 12:03pm Uncle Michael: whoa...Willie's good!
	12:03pm Lewis: @UM - ah yes, I can see that...
	12:03pm clarke: 'tis baseball sea-sonnn!! and my team already seems to be tanking (orioles)!!
	12:04pm davefromtoronto: if michael couldn't crack him no one can...
	♥ 12:04pm Spinning Giant: @Squints - seriously, right?! Kid had chops - zowee, did he record anything else...?! and, BTW, bon matin Monsieur Shelley, et toutes mes amis!
	♥ 12:04pm Montmaster J: Mets playing two today in Colordado!
	12:05pm Lewis: Squeeze and Elvis Costello - that is certainly a marker in time...
	♥ 12:06pm Frank Zaatar: I was at that show, too, Michael! I remember them singing that song.
	12:06pm clarke: mets have a bit of off-field troubles, right?
	12:06pm Edward: UNFUN FACT: The car accident Steve Nieve was in was the one where Exene Cervenka lost her sister.
	♥ 12:07pm Montmaster J: The Mets ALWAYS have off the field troubles.....but they also have Degrom ;)
	12:07pm davefromtoronto: i saw that tour in toronto - they did this for the encore and when glenn t gave elvis a name drop elvis kicked him in the ass!
	♥ 12:07pm Montmaster J: So nice to hear Elvis and Glenn T.!
	12:08pm DG: I always thought those lyrics in "Back in the USSR" were unusually satiric for McCartney to come up with himself ("the Ukraine girls really knock me out," etc.). That's a good story, sounds plausible. Also, Al J. did a free show out on L.I. a few years ago (a series they do on the beach in the summer) & he was really good.
	12:08pm Dennis Diken: nice interview, Mikey! Al spoke more of the BBs and BW than I thought he would have. the new single is a treat! @HobokenJack - hey!
	12:08pm Andres: Hey, Spinning Giant! Happy Lockdown 3.0! At least LCBO and Eric the Baker were open this morning so some relief :)
	♥ 12:09pm Uncle Michael: I'm imagining the looks.
	♥ 12:10pm Slamtonio: Card-carrying MSFC #331 reporting!
	♥ 12:10pm Squints: THAT John Cowsill?
	12:11pm davefromtoronto: i guess john stamos is too busy for an interview...
	12:11pm clarke: Hal Blaine?
	12:12pm clarke: john cowsill - OR mister peterson
	12:14pm clarke: MovieTime, Frank??? still around??
	12:15pm ?: Loretta turned 89 a couple of days ago.
	12:16pm clarke: yipes!
	♥ 12:16pm Eddy in Australia: 'Tis Australian football season and my team is breaking its supporters hearts as usual
	♥ 12:16pm Mike W: ah, i think you said DOUG Paisley first — he is also great (like, really great), but has not reached his deserved stardom level
	12:16pm clarke: oi mate!!!!!!
	♥ 12:16pm Eddy in Australia: Monsieur Clarque!
	♥ 12:16pm Uncle Michael: I know Loretta's band leader!
	♥ 12:16pm Frank In Queens: Yeah, I'm here Clarke. Doing some straightening up while listening.
	12:17pm clarke: i should be doing same!!
	12:18pm clarke: there is a certain point where mr. paisley jumped a certain shark. not sure exactly when or where.
	♥ 12:18pm Frank In Queens: This week was finishing up the Hemingway doc and The Steel Helmet.
	12:18pm clarke: Steel Helmet - sam fuller?!?
	12:19pm clarke: that film is brilliant!!
	♥ 12:20pm Frank In Queens: Fantastic film indeed!
	12:20pm clarke: i missed the very beginning of Hemingway; therefore, will have to watch it in full, later.
	12:20pm Andres: Mike W: Doug Paisley, Yes!
	12:20pm dano59: Love Sam Fuller. Also: oooh. Brinsley Schwarz did this one..
	♥ 12:22pm Frank In Queens: It's on the PBS site until 4/30, I believe.
	12:22pm dano59: Our drummer’s mom came to a show one time and said that I sounded like Keith Urban. I should have taken it as a compliment, in retrospect.
	♥ 12:22pm Pedro in Arlington: Fine job with Al, especially considering the circumstances. I will now listen to it at least a few times as a podcast. Your interviews are the No. 1 thing before bedtime, unlike Maddow Show, which is too jarring at night. The Bruce Thomas chat got me through Covid several nights.
	12:23pm clarke: i have my ways, frank. ha ha. pbs glitches for me (or against me), online.
	♥ 12:23pm Frank In Queens: Ah, too bad. I was lucky, I guess.
	12:24pm clarke: this week i was drawn into watching The Last Picture Show for probably a 20th viewing. so good.
	12:24pm paul: Ask Paul Simon about that guitar technique. I bet he'd know.
	12:25pm Lewis: ah yes, that very distinctive South African sound...
	♥ 12:25pm Frank In Queens: Another great one, clarke!
	12:25pm Late Bloomer: Possible Nashville tuning? Whatever it is it sounds cool!
	12:26pm clarke: it was pretty crazy - i just said, i'll watch just the beginning in honor of larry (RIP) -- i was watching my college baseball team game
	12:26pm gf2002: I hope Keith tells some stories from his '67 tour with The Beach Boys!
	12:27pm clarke: i missed the rest of the game, needless to say. what a bleak and sad film.
	12:28pm clarke: bobby G!!!!!
	12:29pm clarke: it's NEVER too late!!
	♥ 12:29pm StuartR: Great tunes, Mike. "Heroes, Villains" (was one) but Sirius only for Al?
	♥ 12:29pm Squints: Kinda MUSculah soundin' for Booby Goldsborah, theah.
	12:30pm clarke: never too late, Squints!!
	♥ 12:31pm Frank In Queens: Isn't there a really horrible sequel to TLPS?
	12:31pm clarke: BREAUX Bridge!!
	12:31pm Moammar: Breaux Bridge: home of Mulate's and that chankachank music.
	♥ 12:31pm mariano: Hey there, Michael, Crew, folks!
	12:31pm clarke: don't fergit the R
	♥ 12:32pm mariano: Hey clarke, how you diggin' this weather?
	♥ 12:32pm Squints: Breaux Bridges: The brother nobody will talk about.
	♥ 12:32pm Handy Haversack: Frank: about to serve up my first attempt at vegan migas.
	12:32pm clarke: whoaaah M!!! BEEN A WHILE!!! how's thangs?!?
	12:32pm clarke: building an ARK, M!!
	♥ 12:33pm Frank In Queens: Wow, Handy! Please report on how it turns out.
	♥ 12:34pm mariano: All good, clarke, thanks -- been digging out from under an avalanche of work, and now I have a three-headed deadline monster to fell by the end of the month, so I've been in lurk mode. How's tricks by you? 'Afternoon, Handy -- hope things are looking up. Migas are a good sign.
	12:34pm clarke: @frank: there is a sequel-book called Texasville - fer th' boids.
	♥ 12:35pm Frank In Queens: Yeah, that's the name of the movie too.
	12:35pm clarke: they've been working on my building for months! and i just overheard the property manager say "this just won't do" - so they started over.
	12:35pm Moammar: I believe Bobby Goldsboro's brother was the banking commissioner of Alabama at one point. I think it was Zach Goldsboro. But the internet cannot confirm this, and I can't say how or why I know this.
	12:35pm RB: Hi Michael, Cru, aud
	12:36pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Nuevo is bringing back the Nuevo Wavo sound.
	12:37pm KWilde: Loving this nuevo band
	12:37pm Gerry from Miami: That's KAY-REE-DO, Micheal. And it does mean "dear" or "beloved."
	♥ 12:37pm Frank In Queens: A 2fah!
	12:38pm Moammar: (DJ voice) It's a Michael Shelley twin spin!
	♥ 12:39pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mariano. Well, I'm focusing on Saturday today. Taking a page from the book of dog. Frank: pretty good! I didn't have a poblano, so this has a jalapeno and two serranos in it. Pretty spicy. Silken tofu replaces soft-srambled eggs. Homemade salsa verde. www.seriouseats.com...
	12:39pm Edward: Bobby Goldsboro was NOT ONLY related to the banking commissioner of Alabama, he also showed Keith Richard how Jimmy Reed tuned his guitar.
	♥ 12:39pm Squints: Edward: open G?
	♥ 12:40pm Goyim in the AM: south African guitarists in that jive style often use their own tunings, and they are usually higher than standard tuning. I don't know Mhlanga's tuning, but there are books and web sites that talk about this stuff.
	12:40pm Late Bloomer: Pickin up a cosmic groove from these Nuevos
	♥ 12:40pm Frank In Queens: Nice Handy!
	♥ 12:40pm Rebecca: super-loving Nuevo...when people say they can't find any new music they like, point them towards Nuevo...LITERALLY
	12:41pm Late Bloomer: Good time sir Doug sounds
	12:41pm clarke: B-Minus will ALWAYS be there!!
	12:41pm Moammar: Michael needs to launch an interview series with obscure former Alabama banking commissioners.
	♥ 12:42pm mariano: Is your part of town covered with buck moth caterpillars too, clarke? They're all over my building and the Marigny in general. For those of you unfamiliar with the critters, they have acid for blood and have a habit of falling on people walking under the oak trees where they nest.
	♥ 12:42pm Squints: There's never enough ooh-wee in the world.
	♥ 12:42pm Pedro in Arlington: @clarke Last Picture Show so good, both book and film. Our dog came with the name "Jacey." Simply removed the "e."
	12:42pm RB: Nice vibrato reboot
	♥ 12:42pm Handy Haversack: Mariano: I admire its purity.
	12:42pm paul: Now play the Chicks version.
	12:43pm Gerry from Miami: @Squints. Maybe that tune that Michael played by Bobby Goldsboro wasn't a big hit for him. But "Honey," one of those teen weepers from the 50s and 60s, was a smash and had a very funny parody of it called "The Honey House" performed on the Smothers Brothers' Sunday night show.
	12:43pm clarke: i'm near audubon park, but because of the monsoon, have not checked there, recently. i hate those 'pillars!! they sting!!
	♥ 12:45pm Squints: That's what I mean, Gerry. I like "Honey" once every five years or so, "Watching Scotty Grow" a bit more often. But that It's Too Late number was pretty jaunty. Want mo dat.
	♥ 12:45pm mariano: It is indeed unclouded by conscience or remorse, Handy. Lovecraft knew what he was doing when he set part of "The Call of Cthulhu" down here. paul: Then maybe play the Jack Chick version after ;)
	12:46pm clarke: check out the b-sides of those hits you mention, Squints!
	12:47pm Gerry from Miami: Nice to hear Marianne Faithfull before her "dark" period and re-emergence with the "Broken English" record. But that tune, "Baby, Baby, Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" was much better performed by Peter Noone and his Hermits.
	12:47pm clarke: eddy - what IS your A-football team, mate?
	♥ 12:47pm Squints: I need the Bear Family set of more Willie Mays rekkids.
	12:48pm Jay S.: I hope the Keith interview covers his best work, on the amazing THE ADVENTURES OF KEITH album!
	12:49pm clarke: i am guessing Melbourne??
	♥ 12:49pm Eddy in Australia: @Clarke I thought you'd never ask - the Saints! (St Kilda)
	♥ 12:49pm Handy Haversack: Well, Frank, Kate loved the vigas. So one has to call it a success! Would have been good with refried beans, but it was too much food for us as it was!
	12:50pm clarke: ah!! very Rock of ye. gain struck-chah!!
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...WiFis back On ! ...Hafta come back for the Al Jardine event !
	12:50pm gf2002: Keith is a Philly area guy, Kutztown U alum. Also heard he worked on the Judge Judy show for years! Should be an interesting interview, but I'd love to hear stories from that '67 tour.
	12:50pm clarke: Ray Mason es mui macho!!!!
	♥ 12:50pm Eddy in Australia: @Clarke I believe they have a following in NOLA, too
	12:51pm clarke: indeed, suh. most indeedy.
	♥ 12:52pm Handy Haversack: Rev Rab! All hail the unsecured wifis!
	♥ 12:52pm Frank In Queens: Good to hear Handy! I'd like to try it out, but silken tofu is a tough sell here in Queens.
	12:52pm clarke: there IS this bar on Banks Street that has st. kilda discip's.
	12:52pm ledzeppelinsucks: Thanks for the delicious show. If you are driving through Mount Vernon to see the Tulips drive past the La Conner turn off. There is a big fucking fiels of them bloomed with no traffic with Cascades or Olympics in the background for your SM. www.valisemag.com...
	♥ 12:53pm Handy Haversack: I hear you, Frank. Michael, thanks for another great show and excellent interview.. Glad to have been here. Later on, all.
	12:53pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @ledzeppelinsucks: Or as Capt. Lou Albano referred to it, "Money earnin' Mount Vernon".
	12:54pm DG: Brian C: Yes, Rikki Fataar & Blondie Chaplin were 2 S. African musicians who were in the BB's for a couple of albums (I think their band got signed to Brother Records & made one album). Fataar was then a Rutle, as well as playing with Bonnie Raitt, while Chaplin has been a part of the Stones's touring band for awhile (not sure if he still is).
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love them pictures of tulip fields in Holland - acres of them in great rows in specific colors...
	12:55pm clarke: as the thunder continues to bring water down upon the city that care forgot, again, adieu to u!

	11:08am gf2002: Brian did do TM before the others, but it wasn't called TM at that time in LA...late '66, early '67 with McGuinn and other Byrds there too. Sort of a mini-scene happening in hip LA circles in late '66. Subud too. Brian was studying TM into '68 but gave it up. He wrote a letter to the maharishi in '68 asking him to allow Mike Love to return to LA from India to finish his parts for the Friends album...

	11:13am clarke: prior to TM, brian attempted meditation to calm his fears of going on tour, though.
	11:15am clarke: BABY: good news (mostly)! hope some financial aid or scholarship comes yer way!! but, also, think about the travel costs, wow.
	11:15am gf2002: @Dennis Diken, That letter Brian wrote to the maharishi actually went up for auction a few years ago, it was pretty crazy to read! Brian trying to get a hall pass for Mike haha...Then there are the stories of Mike Love's time at the ashram in '68, wheeling and dealing various contraband to his fellow meditators, that's a separate discussion lol

	♥ 11:17am TDK60: Got to see Brian Wilson & group in '18. Al was there and in top form. He really gets into it.
	11:17am Aldo: Is there anything weirder than a 10-year old math geek listening to The Beach Boys on a Saturday after- - morning while thinking about complex numbers?
	♥ 11:18am Listener Baby: Mostly yes. I always kind of questioned the merit of the trip. We are swinging in the breeze, if you get my drift.
	11:18am Aldo: Just in case you couldn’t tell, I meant me.
	11:19am clarke: i get the drift - and a strange time to travel. but, a good experience, thinks me.
	♥ 11:19am spodiodi: Dennis Dragon!
	11:19am Lewis: @Aldo - sounds about right to me! and good luck with the complex numbers, they were the point where I moved into more empirical fields of study...
	♥ 11:19am spodiodi: rip Captain
	♥ 11:20am Listener Baby: I think they loved getting out and about. Boston sounds like a beautiful place.

	11:20am clarke: some of boston is lovely. SOME.
	11:21am phat in Lincoln: I was just reading Darryl Dragon's Wikipedia page and the saga about his last years was very strange. And the "official" story is unbelievable.
	♥ 11:22am McGroovey: You have one of those speaker surveillance things? ... Huh.
	♥ 11:22am spodiodi: didn't know Dennis Dragon played with Beach Boys. crazy
	♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: Heh, clarke.
	♥ 11:23am Pedro in Arlington: Mike - I saw the Al Jardine interview early this morning posted on the podcast but I decided to wait for the show. Listening early would have been cheating, right?
	11:23am smevvyk: You just mentioned Dennis dragon and having had just about everyone in or associated with the band, but have you had Toni on? Din she play pianer with them for awhile at the end before she and Daryl took off?
	11:25am Dennis Downes: Mike, 5 minutes before you said something, I was thinking how suddenly the Beach Boys reminds me of NRBQ! I love the rarities! Dennis D
	♥ 11:25am Michael Shelley: I have reached out to Toni!
	11:25am clarke: is all this "new" album merely a re-issue?
	♥ 11:26am Michael Shelley: McGroovey: yeah, and you can tell it "play wfmu"
	11:26am clarke: put another way - is there actual new material on the new jardine album?
	11:27am gf2002: @Dennis Diken It used to be available, I may have a screen shot of it. It was part of an auction from the Milton Love estate that had private letters and photos found in a dresser owned by Milton. The gist of it was "please have Mike be allowed to return to finish recording" or something like that lol. Some of the India stories came from Paul McCartney who said Mike Love had a black market running at the ashram selling things "not allowed" during the studies
	♥ 11:29am Hoboken Jack: Good morning Michael, Ruth, Frank, Baby, Handy, Bagpipe, Dennis, Spodes, McGroove, all and Al!
	♥ 11:30am Listener Baby: Hi Jack!
	♥ 11:30am spodiodi: my mom has two google spy devices running in her home, and i can't not think about it listening to her side of our phone convos [and everything else]) yo Jack!
	♥ 11:30am Handy Haversack: Morning, Jack! Bagpipe confirms: Saturday!
	♥ 11:31am Frank Zaatar: @gf2002: Didn't Mike Love contribute the "Ukraine girls really knock me out" bridge on Paul's "USSR?"
	11:31am Bri: I feel your paranoia Spodi, thankfully don’t own or trust any google/Amazon device, but I was worried for a while that people were listening in on my phone conversations
	♥ 11:32am Michael Shelley: spodiodi: if you can point me to specific research about the downside of the speakers I'd love to see it.
	11:32am Lewis: @spoidiodi "are you sure it is only her side?", he asked in an unhelpful poke toward paranoia...
	♥ 11:32am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Luckily toddler down for a nap just in time for the interview!
	♥ 11:34am Michael Shelley: www.change.org...
	♥ 11:35am Listener Baby: Baby. Are you vacuuming?
	11:35am clarke: lucky toddler!!
	♥ 11:35am coelacanth∅: Al seems like a very decent guy
	♥ 11:35am Michael Shelley: Super nice guy
	11:36am phat in Lincoln: Exciting new release!
	11:36am Bri: I was paranoid that all Bluetooth speakers were listening in on my conversations
	♥ 11:37am Frank Zaatar: I would totally pick up a Feel Flows compilation. I'm a big fan of the The WB years.
	11:38am gf2002: @Frank Supposedly McCartney was playing the song in raw form for Mike, and it needed a bridge, so Mike suggested he talk about the girls from different parts of Russia like he had done in the California Girls lyrics. I think McCartney actually wrote those lyrics himself after Mike suggested that angle to him.
	11:38am clarke: i don't think that the devices are just LISTENING, but the potential for law enforcement to tap into ALL devices is there.
	♥ 11:38am coelacanth∅: Bri don't worry your government is benevolent and would never lie to you!
	11:39am Moammar: The Moammardrome is fiercely analog, to the point of complete of complete collapse. All those gizmos freak me out.
	11:39am clarke: what IS happening is your choices are being noted.
	♥ 11:41am James in ATL: Great job interviewing, Michael. Not an easy one.
	♥ 11:41am Listener Baby: Baby. That Tectonic guy would know for certain. Maybe send him a note?
	11:41am clarke: it's a fine line!!
	♥ 11:41am coelacanth∅: gf2002 @1138 that's what i read. Love's suggestion but Macca's composition
	♥ 11:42am spodiodi: Michael Shelley, i'll keep an eye out for something worth reading
	11:43am KWilde: Also Gaslight
	♥ 11:43am Frank Zaatar: @gf2002: That's the story I heard too.
	♥ 11:43am TDK60: The Bitter End still exists. (At least up to the virus times.)
	11:47am clarke: sound advice.
	♥ 11:48am Hoboken Jack: I love my Alexa, am listening on it right now, and call me naive but I think the most sinister thing going on is it makes it very easy to place orders with Amazon. In other news, I would love to see Al Jardine at Joe's Pub! Though who am I kidding, at this point I'd love seeing Rick Astley at Joe's Pub.

	11:54am Dennis: From the TV special
	♥ 11:54am TDK60: Great interview.
	11:54am Andres: Morning, Michael and all! I’m sure the pages of questions would have been equally great but happy for the ones you got in. Great interview!
	11:56am zivilars: Al Jardine interview?? Damn, I'm too late ... I did miss it, didn't I?
	11:57am zivilars: Have to catch this one up in the archives
	11:57am Lewis: I find it fascinating that people often only want to talk about the present project. It would seem that a well prepared interviewer (such as MS) would be an interesting distraction from the same old same old...
	♥ 12:02pm Uncle Michael: I find it wholly understandable that many artists only run the media gauntlet in order to promote a new release.
	12:02pm clarke: say hey!!!
	♥ 12:02pm Squints: Crap. He coulda DONE this as a thing.
	♥ 12:03pm Uncle Michael: whoa...Willie's good!
	12:03pm Lewis: @UM - ah yes, I can see that...
	12:03pm clarke: 'tis baseball sea-sonnn!! and my team already seems to be tanking (orioles)!!
	12:04pm davefromtoronto: if michael couldn't crack him no one can...
	♥ 12:04pm Spinning Giant: @Squints - seriously, right?! Kid had chops - zowee, did he record anything else...?! and, BTW, bon matin Monsieur Shelley, et toutes mes amis!
	♥ 12:04pm Montmaster J: Mets playing two today in Colordado!
	12:05pm Lewis: Squeeze and Elvis Costello - that is certainly a marker in time...
	♥ 12:06pm Frank Zaatar: I was at that show, too, Michael! I remember them singing that song.
	12:06pm clarke: mets have a bit of off-field troubles, right?
	12:06pm Edward: UNFUN FACT: The car accident Steve Nieve was in was the one where Exene Cervenka lost her sister.
	♥ 12:07pm Montmaster J: The Mets ALWAYS have off the field troubles.....but they also have Degrom ;)
	12:07pm davefromtoronto: i saw that tour in toronto - they did this for the encore and when glenn t gave elvis a name drop elvis kicked him in the ass!
	♥ 12:07pm Montmaster J: So nice to hear Elvis and Glenn T.!
	12:08pm DG: I always thought those lyrics in "Back in the USSR" were unusually satiric for McCartney to come up with himself ("the Ukraine girls really knock me out," etc.). That's a good story, sounds plausible. Also, Al J. did a free show out on L.I. a few years ago (a series they do on the beach in the summer) & he was really good.
	12:08pm Dennis Diken: nice interview, Mikey! Al spoke more of the BBs and BW than I thought he would have. the new single is a treat! @HobokenJack - hey!
	12:08pm Andres: Hey, Spinning Giant! Happy Lockdown 3.0! At least LCBO and Eric the Baker were open this morning so some relief :)
	♥ 12:09pm Uncle Michael: I'm imagining the looks.
	♥ 12:10pm Slamtonio: Card-carrying MSFC #331 reporting!
	♥ 12:10pm Squints: THAT John Cowsill?
	12:11pm davefromtoronto: i guess john stamos is too busy for an interview...
	12:11pm clarke: Hal Blaine?
	12:12pm clarke: john cowsill - OR mister peterson
	12:14pm clarke: MovieTime, Frank??? still around??
	12:15pm ?: Loretta turned 89 a couple of days ago.
	12:16pm clarke: yipes!
	♥ 12:16pm Eddy in Australia: 'Tis Australian football season and my team is breaking its supporters hearts as usual
	♥ 12:16pm Mike W: ah, i think you said DOUG Paisley first — he is also great (like, really great), but has not reached his deserved stardom level
	12:16pm clarke: oi mate!!!!!!
	♥ 12:16pm Eddy in Australia: Monsieur Clarque!
	♥ 12:16pm Uncle Michael: I know Loretta's band leader!
	♥ 12:16pm Frank In Queens: Yeah, I'm here Clarke. Doing some straightening up while listening.
	12:17pm clarke: i should be doing same!!
	12:18pm clarke: there is a certain point where mr. paisley jumped a certain shark. not sure exactly when or where.
	♥ 12:18pm Frank In Queens: This week was finishing up the Hemingway doc and The Steel Helmet.
	12:18pm clarke: Steel Helmet - sam fuller?!?
	12:19pm clarke: that film is brilliant!!
	♥ 12:20pm Frank In Queens: Fantastic film indeed!
	12:20pm clarke: i missed the very beginning of Hemingway; therefore, will have to watch it in full, later.
	12:20pm Andres: Mike W: Doug Paisley, Yes!
	12:20pm dano59: Love Sam Fuller. Also: oooh. Brinsley Schwarz did this one..
	♥ 12:22pm Frank In Queens: It's on the PBS site until 4/30, I believe.
	12:22pm dano59: Our drummer’s mom came to a show one time and said that I sounded like Keith Urban. I should have taken it as a compliment, in retrospect.
	♥ 12:22pm Pedro in Arlington: Fine job with Al, especially considering the circumstances. I will now listen to it at least a few times as a podcast. Your interviews are the No. 1 thing before bedtime, unlike Maddow Show, which is too jarring at night. The Bruce Thomas chat got me through Covid several nights.
	12:23pm clarke: i have my ways, frank. ha ha. pbs glitches for me (or against me), online.
	♥ 12:23pm Frank In Queens: Ah, too bad. I was lucky, I guess.
	12:24pm clarke: this week i was drawn into watching The Last Picture Show for probably a 20th viewing. so good.
	12:24pm paul: Ask Paul Simon about that guitar technique. I bet he'd know.
	12:25pm Lewis: ah yes, that very distinctive South African sound...
	♥ 12:25pm Frank In Queens: Another great one, clarke!
	12:25pm Late Bloomer: Possible Nashville tuning? Whatever it is it sounds cool!
	12:26pm clarke: it was pretty crazy - i just said, i'll watch just the beginning in honor of larry (RIP) -- i was watching my college baseball team game
	12:26pm gf2002: I hope Keith tells some stories from his '67 tour with The Beach Boys!
	12:27pm clarke: i missed the rest of the game, needless to say. what a bleak and sad film.
	12:28pm clarke: bobby G!!!!!
	12:29pm clarke: it's NEVER too late!!
	♥ 12:29pm StuartR: Great tunes, Mike. "Heroes, Villains" (was one) but Sirius only for Al?
	♥ 12:29pm Squints: Kinda MUSculah soundin' for Booby Goldsborah, theah.
	12:30pm clarke: never too late, Squints!!
	♥ 12:31pm Frank In Queens: Isn't there a really horrible sequel to TLPS?
	12:31pm clarke: BREAUX Bridge!!
	12:31pm Moammar: Breaux Bridge: home of Mulate's and that chankachank music.
	♥ 12:31pm mariano: Hey there, Michael, Crew, folks!
	12:31pm clarke: don't fergit the R
	♥ 12:32pm mariano: Hey clarke, how you diggin' this weather?
	♥ 12:32pm Squints: Breaux Bridges: The brother nobody will talk about.
	♥ 12:32pm Handy Haversack: Frank: about to serve up my first attempt at vegan migas.
	12:32pm clarke: whoaaah M!!! BEEN A WHILE!!! how's thangs?!?
	12:32pm clarke: building an ARK, M!!
	♥ 12:33pm Frank In Queens: Wow, Handy! Please report on how it turns out.
	♥ 12:34pm mariano: All good, clarke, thanks -- been digging out from under an avalanche of work, and now I have a three-headed deadline monster to fell by the end of the month, so I've been in lurk mode. How's tricks by you? 'Afternoon, Handy -- hope things are looking up. Migas are a good sign.
	12:34pm clarke: @frank: there is a sequel-book called Texasville - fer th' boids.
	♥ 12:35pm Frank In Queens: Yeah, that's the name of the movie too.
	12:35pm clarke: they've been working on my building for months! and i just overheard the property manager say "this just won't do" - so they started over.
	12:35pm Moammar: I believe Bobby Goldsboro's brother was the banking commissioner of Alabama at one point. I think it was Zach Goldsboro. But the internet cannot confirm this, and I can't say how or why I know this.
	12:35pm RB: Hi Michael, Cru, aud
	12:36pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Nuevo is bringing back the Nuevo Wavo sound.
	12:37pm KWilde: Loving this nuevo band
	12:37pm Gerry from Miami: That's KAY-REE-DO, Micheal. And it does mean "dear" or "beloved."
	♥ 12:37pm Frank In Queens: A 2fah!
	12:38pm Moammar: (DJ voice) It's a Michael Shelley twin spin!
	♥ 12:39pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mariano. Well, I'm focusing on Saturday today. Taking a page from the book of dog. Frank: pretty good! I didn't have a poblano, so this has a jalapeno and two serranos in it. Pretty spicy. Silken tofu replaces soft-srambled eggs. Homemade salsa verde. www.seriouseats.com...
	12:39pm Edward: Bobby Goldsboro was NOT ONLY related to the banking commissioner of Alabama, he also showed Keith Richard how Jimmy Reed tuned his guitar.
	♥ 12:39pm Squints: Edward: open G?
	♥ 12:40pm Goyim in the AM: south African guitarists in that jive style often use their own tunings, and they are usually higher than standard tuning. I don't know Mhlanga's tuning, but there are books and web sites that talk about this stuff.
	12:40pm Late Bloomer: Pickin up a cosmic groove from these Nuevos
	♥ 12:40pm Frank In Queens: Nice Handy!
	♥ 12:40pm Rebecca: super-loving Nuevo...when people say they can't find any new music they like, point them towards Nuevo...LITERALLY
	12:41pm Late Bloomer: Good time sir Doug sounds
	12:41pm clarke: B-Minus will ALWAYS be there!!
	12:41pm Moammar: Michael needs to launch an interview series with obscure former Alabama banking commissioners.
	♥ 12:42pm mariano: Is your part of town covered with buck moth caterpillars too, clarke? They're all over my building and the Marigny in general. For those of you unfamiliar with the critters, they have acid for blood and have a habit of falling on people walking under the oak trees where they nest.
	♥ 12:42pm Squints: There's never enough ooh-wee in the world.
	♥ 12:42pm Pedro in Arlington: @clarke Last Picture Show so good, both book and film. Our dog came with the name "Jacey." Simply removed the "e."
	12:42pm RB: Nice vibrato reboot
	♥ 12:42pm Handy Haversack: Mariano: I admire its purity.
	12:42pm paul: Now play the Chicks version.
	12:43pm Gerry from Miami: @Squints. Maybe that tune that Michael played by Bobby Goldsboro wasn't a big hit for him. But "Honey," one of those teen weepers from the 50s and 60s, was a smash and had a very funny parody of it called "The Honey House" performed on the Smothers Brothers' Sunday night show.
	12:43pm clarke: i'm near audubon park, but because of the monsoon, have not checked there, recently. i hate those 'pillars!! they sting!!
	♥ 12:45pm Squints: That's what I mean, Gerry. I like "Honey" once every five years or so, "Watching Scotty Grow" a bit more often. But that It's Too Late number was pretty jaunty. Want mo dat.
	♥ 12:45pm mariano: It is indeed unclouded by conscience or remorse, Handy. Lovecraft knew what he was doing when he set part of "The Call of Cthulhu" down here. paul: Then maybe play the Jack Chick version after ;)
	12:46pm clarke: check out the b-sides of those hits you mention, Squints!
	12:47pm Gerry from Miami: Nice to hear Marianne Faithfull before her "dark" period and re-emergence with the "Broken English" record. But that tune, "Baby, Baby, Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" was much better performed by Peter Noone and his Hermits.
	12:47pm clarke: eddy - what IS your A-football team, mate?
	♥ 12:47pm Squints: I need the Bear Family set of more Willie Mays rekkids.
	12:48pm Jay S.: I hope the Keith interview covers his best work, on the amazing THE ADVENTURES OF KEITH album!
	12:49pm clarke: i am guessing Melbourne??
	♥ 12:49pm Eddy in Australia: @Clarke I thought you'd never ask - the Saints! (St Kilda)
	♥ 12:49pm Handy Haversack: Well, Frank, Kate loved the vigas. So one has to call it a success! Would have been good with refried beans, but it was too much food for us as it was!
	12:50pm clarke: ah!! very Rock of ye. gain struck-chah!!
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...WiFis back On ! ...Hafta come back for the Al Jardine event !
	12:50pm gf2002: Keith is a Philly area guy, Kutztown U alum. Also heard he worked on the Judge Judy show for years! Should be an interesting interview, but I'd love to hear stories from that '67 tour.
	12:50pm clarke: Ray Mason es mui macho!!!!
	♥ 12:50pm Eddy in Australia: @Clarke I believe they have a following in NOLA, too
	12:51pm clarke: indeed, suh. most indeedy.
	♥ 12:52pm Handy Haversack: Rev Rab! All hail the unsecured wifis!
	♥ 12:52pm Frank In Queens: Good to hear Handy! I'd like to try it out, but silken tofu is a tough sell here in Queens.
	12:52pm clarke: there IS this bar on Banks Street that has st. kilda discip's.
	12:52pm ledzeppelinsucks: Thanks for the delicious show. If you are driving through Mount Vernon to see the Tulips drive past the La Conner turn off. There is a big fucking fiels of them bloomed with no traffic with Cascades or Olympics in the background for your SM. www.valisemag.com...
	♥ 12:53pm Handy Haversack: I hear you, Frank. Michael, thanks for another great show and excellent interview.. Glad to have been here. Later on, all.
	12:53pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @ledzeppelinsucks: Or as Capt. Lou Albano referred to it, "Money earnin' Mount Vernon".
	12:54pm DG: Brian C: Yes, Rikki Fataar & Blondie Chaplin were 2 S. African musicians who were in the BB's for a couple of albums (I think their band got signed to Brother Records & made one album). Fataar was then a Rutle, as well as playing with Bonnie Raitt, while Chaplin has been a part of the Stones's touring band for awhile (not sure if he still is).
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love them pictures of tulip fields in Holland - acres of them in great rows in specific colors...
	12:55pm clarke: as the thunder continues to bring water down upon the city that care forgot, again, adieu to u!
	♥ 12:55pm Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Next time I'm in town ...
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stig O'Hara !
	12:55pm Dennis Diken: glad to hear Al mention “Kiss Me, Baby,” it’s so good, to be sure!
	♥ 12:55pm Corey: Man, time flies. Thanks Michael for another great one! Take care all.
	12:56pm Ross T.: Rickey/Blondie Beach Boys in the early 70s were the greatest live show I ever saw.
	12:56pm clarke: right-o! we'll git some dimmies!!
	♥ 12:56pm spodiodi: thanks for another great show, Michael Shelley!
	12:56pm gf2002: One of the Beach Boys' absolute best. Brian and Mike on this one are amazing, and Mike's bass vocal is one of the best tracks he ever sang. Genius Brian, right there
	♥ 12:57pm Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Ooh, local reference! Didn't Ricky Fataar have something to do with Australian bands in the '70s?
	12:57pm clarke: yer flatting dear
	12:57pm Moammar: Oi, Murry Wilson is such a buzzkill.
	12:57pm Dennis Diken: Wonderful show, Mikey, as per....
	12:57pm Ross T.: Drunk dad in the studio oh god....
	♥ 12:57pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you Michael and Ruth!!!
	♥ 12:57pm Rebecca: This Real Time Adventure has ruled...great interview...thank you MS...P.S., smack dab in mid of "I Am Brian Wilson" and it is beautiful...reads like poetry.
	12:57pm gf2002: "go on that kick!"
	♥ 12:58pm Hams: sure do appreciate it, michael shelley!
	♥ 12:58pm dave wuz here: murry wilson is a fucking bummer
	12:58pm clarke: am pretty sure Fataar was in south africa in the early 70's??
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a collaborator only Manson could surpass...
	♥ 12:58pm Montmaster J: Be happy everyone! Till next week....
	12:59pm Gerry from Miami: Later, Michael. Excellent show.
	♥ 1:00pm Frank In Queens: Thanks Michael!
	1:00pm Ross T.: Rickey and Blondie in the BBs roughly '72 - '74. Blondie left first after a fight with one of the Love brothers.
	1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...imagine John Lennon laying into him...
