	11:11am Corey: Propulsive Paperback writer.
	11:12am Listener Baby: I can’t seem to find the Nuevo record on Spotify. I’m I doing something wrong? Asking for a friend.

	11:14am clarke: asking for a friend: is Baby ok?
	11:14am Michael Shelley: Baby - who loves you? open.spotify.com...
	11:15am Hells Kitch: Sounding great in Studio A this Saturday
	11:15am Listener Baby: No way. I tried about 8 times. WTF?
	11:16am phat in Lincoln: @Andres if I had a pickup (which I wish I did, a beat up old pickup) this would get play in it.
	11:17am Listener Baby: Funny. I found that on Spotify, and didn’t think it was them. Doh!
	11:17am phat in Lincoln: I just sent a note to Nuevo to play these parts. They'd find a good audience at The Zoo Bar.
	11:18am Listener Baby: PS, Baby. You do!
	11:18am Andres: phat: Yes, perfect for hitting the open road.
	11:19am Listener Baby: Rick’s Granola. Best prog band ever!
	11:19am phat in Lincoln: How the hell have I never heard Keith? That's ridiculous.
	11:20am clarke: 555555
	11:20am Will the Sound Guy: Happy May Day Michael and all!
	11:21am Eddy in Australia: Rick's Crunchy Granola? Sweet!
	11:21am phat in Lincoln: @Andres I may steal a buddy's little truck, get a straw hat and drive around listening to Tejano-inspired pop hits. That seems like a surefire warm spring activity.
	11:21am Dennis Diken: Wotta killer track is “Ain’t Gonna Lie”!!!! I think it’s Herb Lovelle on tubs?
	11:21am clarke: oi mate!!
	11:22am Eddy in Australia: Jam Master Clarke!!
	11:22am clarke: dimmies mate!!!
	11:22am Eddy in Australia: @Clarke St Kilda killed it today - go Saints!
	11:23am clarke: geaux!!!
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Easy Pagans...
	11:24am phat in Lincoln: I'm kinda having a freakout about Nuevo. I cannot wait to get to the Zoo Bar and listen to some TX tunes. Fully vaxxed soon... I miss The Zoo. I'm ten years sober today, so bars aren't a thing for me. But The Zoo is my musical home.
	11:26am clarke: melbourne's on fiyaaaah!!!! (with Gain Struck-chah)
	11:28am clarke: nice mastering here. GS+
	11:28am Eddy in Australia: melbourne the team or the city?
	11:28am Listener Baby: @Clarke. Baby= awesome. Daughter college update. In a whiplash swing, Lottie commits to Wellesley. Did not see that one coming.
	11:28am clarke: them saints!!
	11:29am Will the Sound Guy: Yes, sounds sonically great
	11:29am clarke: WHOOOAAAAHHHH!!!!
	11:30am clarke: that is a turnaround!! east coast girls are hip i really dig the clothes they wear!!
	11:31am muddybrookrambler: Tax the nips!!
	11:31am Listener Baby: And she better get some warm ones. She has none of that.
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You don't wanna get caught with Open Containers. Yeah bastard little bottles are everywhere.
	11:32am northguineahills: I did a demographic study for fun in the early 2000s on the density of chicken bones/block in Bed-Stuy. (it was irritating me to see so many bones on the sidewalk). Here in Orlando, in the tourist region, little liquour bottles are everywhere.
	11:33am Rick from SC: Hey Mike. I was out in the garden when my wife told me you mentioned my granola. I’m going to bring some to a cookout tonight
	11:33am clarke: well, that is RIGHT on the boston marathon route!! wellesley is - got a friend who lives right by there!
	11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...biodegradable rotgut preservative bottles...
	11:33am Will the Sound Guy: Trash is just gross all strung about everywhere... I picked up a contractor bag worth of trash infront of my house on the street. The very next day, there was already a bunch of crap thrown about again.
	11:33am Glistener MW: “Antiquing!” 🤖💥
	11:34am clarke: a strange thing when every movie that came out gets a nomination!! oh, it's MovieTime???
	11:35am spodiodi: most of those little bottles are probably thrown by drivers from their car windows (woo!)
	11:35am clarke: i actually saw a film this week and enjoyed it: Nobody w/bob odenkirk - recommend!!
	11:36am Frank In Queens: I want to see Nobody. I'll get to it soon.
	11:36am Listener Baby: @Clarke. Good to know that. You never know.
	11:36am xtrakrispy: That chair is a Womb Chair by Eero Saarinen. If you got an authentic one from Design Within Reach or Knoll they are in the thousands of dollars. There are TONS of knockoffs for hundreds of dollars. I have an vintage authentic one that I bought on Craigslist for $1800 from a guy who was moving to CA. It did NOT have the ottoman...
	11:36am Frank In Queens: This week we watched Sam Fuller's Park Row and Anatomy Of A Murder.
	11:37am northguineahills: Thanks, Clarke, tonight's entertainment.
	11:37am clarke: yes, this gal is SWEET and will be good to have around in case!!
	11:37am clarke: Lee Remick ----------
	11:37am Listener Baby: @Clarke. No doubt.
	11:38am Pedro in Arlington: You speak truth, Mike. Frances McDormand is now playing the Frances McDormand role, like Pacino plays Pacino and Nicholson plays Nicholson. Zzzzzz. Mank and Sound of Metal more compelling. And way dull awards show despite the hype.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: Indeed.
	11:39am gf2002: @Clarke Nobody - I enjoyed that very much too, I'd see it again! An action film that doesn't involve superheroes or Vin Deisel...and an intelligent script. Loved it! 2 thumbs up
	11:39am Andres: La La Land/Moonlight mixup was the best Oscar moment ever. Parasite wins/speeches were fun. Besides those moments and the monologues I don’t know why I bother watching.
	11:39am clarke: the girl is not lee remick, ha ha, but nicer than that. her family's house is literally next to Wellesley Campus
	11:40am phat in Lincoln: Anton Figg, former member of KISS!
	11:40am Corey: Thanks for the movie picks! A perpetual dilemma in this house come Saturday night.
	11:40am clarke: the one great thing about the oscars show this year: UNION STATION OMG!! GORGEOUS!!
	11:40am McGroovey: Shouldn't this be called Take 4????
	11:40am northguineahills: @xtrakrispy: I somehow acquired an Isamu Noguchi lounge chair for free. Then the cat decided to shred it. whoops....
	11:41am Jimmy Wipper: @Clarke, glad to hear you liked Nobody! I was wondering how it would be and we love Bob Odenkirk.
	11:41am Eddy in Australia: second the love for union station
	11:41am James: Am I crazy or is this Take Five in 4/4?
	11:42am clarke: it is pretty violent. it is pretty great.
	11:42am gf2002: I finally watched Mank this week. Terrific cinematography, a few great performances, but something about it fell short. If that had been made back in 1972-76, maybe that would have been the missing link in the dialogue or something.
	11:42am McGroovey: @James exactly
	11:43am clarke: i agree gf. there is something not quite fantastic about Mank - which i wanted to love so much!!
	11:43am phat in Lincoln: Maybe I'll watch a movie this week. It's been ages, and I'm on the board of an arthouse!
	11:43am northguineahills: I was thinking the same thing, James!
	11:45am John: C.Chenier setlist GREAT - WHERE / HOW you see documentary??
	11:45am phat in Lincoln: Clifton Chenier is more Zoo Bar music. I've seen him play there! Sigh. I may need to start a new band soon, too.
	11:45am McGroovey: I mean, I think Take 5 in 4/4 sounded great, but if it were me, I'd call it Take 4.
	11:46am clarke: yes - there is an e-flat zydecho
	11:47am adamdoesit: HOT PEPPER is so good, and Long Toes is about my dog. You can see HOT PEPPER and its A side, DRY WOOD, on Criterion. Probably also YouTube.
	11:47am phat in Lincoln: E flat wouldn't be easy for a guitarist or bass player, either, necessarily.
	11:47am northguineahills: Hohner makes an E flat accordion.
	11:47am rhett: The director of Hot Pepper is Les Blank. All of his films are great.
	11:47am Late Bloomer: When you tune it flat you can stick to the black keys on the keyboard. Makes it easier for some people says my keyboard friends
	11:47am Jimmy Wipper: I read the other day that Richard Thompson lives in yer' town, Michael. Ever run into him at the local supermarket?
	11:48am Late Bloomer: The show is sounding great today👍
	11:48am clarke: in a beret!!
	11:48am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Richard reveals in his autobiography that he would walk 10 miles back to his parents house after see The Who's second Tuesday night set at The Marquee.
	11:48am phat in Lincoln: Richard Thompson's history of pop songs tour was a revelation. That dude can play and his version of "Oops, I Did it Again" was eye-opening.
	11:48am Todd-o-phonic Todd: "seeing"
	11:49am Michael Shelley: Hot Pepper is on Kanopy - free with a library card!
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I would walk 10miles for TheWho @ the Marquee ...after that - could probly fly.
	11:51am Listener Baby: @Phat I saw that tour as well. See My Friends blew my mind in a pretty huge way.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if not hear...
	11:53am clarke: huge Thompson fan, but one of my favortiest thangs he ever did was production on a few Loudon Wainwright albums!!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah he said Playboy put the word out for Best Songs of the Millennium - & what they really wanted was of the Century... So RT put it out on three discs (?) - & toured it. I saw that. Aftewords he talked to the audience. Some nice young kid asked him about becoming a Gittarist or such - & RT said - Practice. & then ...Practice Some More.
	11:54am McGroovey: Are: Eb: I played with a guy for a while who liked to tune a half-step down, but he'd still call out chords as if he was still in normal tuning. I didn't want to ___ around tuning down myself, so I had to adapt, but it was a pita. But his songs were great.
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Haven't missed the interview? Excellent. Hey, Todd, Rev Rab, all!
	11:54am adamdoesit: While free for the viewer, Kanopy is not free for the library. Wikipedia: "…each view (watching a video for 30 seconds or more) will prompt the sale of a license fee for that title. Costs vary per institutional contract, but have been estimated in 2019 for single titles to be $150 for one year, $350 for a 3-year license." NYPL dropped it: costs were too high and hard to predict.
	11:54am Zephyr: Wow. Big Alice Cooper borrow for “Billion Dollar Babies”, the Donovan cameo...
	11:55am Eddy in Australia: FYI Kanopy has a load of Les Blank films - shorts and features - assuming their catalog is similar in Australia and the US
	11:56am clarke: Baby - still around??
	11:56am Listener Baby: One of two best shows I’ve ever seen in a club was RT and an insane band. Two guys from Fairport, including Dave Mattacks on drum. Clive Gregson and Christine Collester. They were unbelievably great
	11:57am Listener Baby: Here
	11:57am Peter Horvath: Great show so far! Don’t tell keith, but I think I prefer the bystanders version of 98.6…
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The answer to should I see RT Live is always Yes.
	11:58am clarke: @Baby: did your daughter even visit wellesley?
	11:59am Listener Baby: Yes. But was unmoved by it. Which makes all this so surprising.
	11:59am clarke: that's strange!! she will love boston!
	12:00pm clarke: it is a GREAT school!!
	12:01pm Listener Baby: She loved Boston. She found the campus a bit lonesome. But nobody was around at the time. She’s going to do great there.
	12:02pm clarke: of course she will!!! the T makes everything close-by!!
	12:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What a tale !
	12:03pm clarke: didn't Keith come into your winery, Baby??
	12:03pm Listener Baby: His daughter
	12:03pm clarke: ah
	12:04pm clarke: the intro to 98.6 --- kismet!!
	12:07pm clarke: whaaaa??
	12:07pm Andres: clarke: Clairvoyant!
	12:08pm clarke: sometimes!!
	12:09pm bigplanetnoise: Fantastic interview!!!!
	12:10pm Mike tp: perfect timing to hear this interview....
	12:10pm NikiA: I missed whose being interviewed? could someone tell me the name 🙂
	12:11pm Mike tp: KEITH had the big hit.
	12:11pm clarke: look to your left....over....THERE....
	12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NiKiA : en.wikipedia.org...
	12:13pm phat in Lincoln: 15 grand a week is a lot of bread.
	12:13pm Jimmy Wipper: @Clarke, I read your kismet line and I thought that feed was a few minutes behind!
	12:13pm Andres: Was not expecting a reference to Quiet Riot.
	12:14pm clarke: i have this one turntable - among a few - and if i play a record on it - the artist seems to die.
	12:15pm clarke: unfortunately, i don't have any hip-hop records.
	12:15pm Mike tp: 15 LARGE
	12:15pm Andres: clarke: Burn that turntable.
	12:16pm clarke: NO!! it is an old Garard. sounds wunderbar.
	12:16pm NikiA: thank you rev rabbit!
	12:16pm miktp: ming with APPICE AT FORT DIX..super interesting interview...
	12:19pm spodiodi: cool
	12:20pm Michael in Montclair: @miktp, the Carmine Appice at Fort Dix tidbit is interesting. I am enjoying this interview a lot.
	12:21pm Andres: Zappa "drank an urn of coffee a day"! My guts are roiling at the thought.
	12:22pm clarke: those revue-type back-up bands make those tours a bit sad, to me. the oldies tours, i mean.
	12:22pm phat in Lincoln: Love this interview.
	12:23pm spodiodi: nice interview
	12:23pm clarke: good stuff - as always!
	12:23pm muddybrookrambler: That made my day! What a great interview!! Thank you!
	12:23pm Will C: Great interview!
	12:24pm clarke: @Wipper - wha's goin' ahn??
	12:25pm phat in Lincoln: How in the hell do I not know this song?
	12:25pm Hubig Pie: That urn o' coffee was brewed at 8 in the am and tasted great all day long
	12:25pm HyperDose: Amazing interview. Keith sounds like a swell guy!
	12:25pm Andres: I appreciate the curiosity of your questions, Michael. Great interview!
	12:26pm patrick321: just caught the end of that Michael but really enjoyed it. Will get back to the beginning on the archive. thanks!
	12:26pm SeanG: KEITH!!
	12:27pm Andres: Nice hookup, Baby!
	12:29pm Squints: hey now. straggling in late.
	12:30pm clarke: i hope you brought enough beer for all of us!!
	12:30pm Squints: i'm guessing "where's eddie?" was already taken by then.
	12:31pm DG: I'm assuming the "Charlie Brown" in this song is NOT the comic strip character, like that Coasters hit. Except the Coasters one was written before "Peanuts" was that famous, I'm sure it was by the time this was a hit....wonder why she picked that name.
	12:31pm Michael Shelley: me too!
	12:32pm clarke: charlie brown - can never get an even break
	12:32pm Squints: i did bring chewing gum.
	12:32pm clarke: i don't drink any more anyway!
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but I also don't drink any less...
	12:33pm Listener Baby: @Baby. FYI. Known as The Central Coast of CA. Great great interview. You're a friggin Ninja!
	12:34pm clarke: is that what you really call the area where the winery is??
	12:37pm HyperDose: Whoaaa this is ROCKIN'! \m/
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sabbath - a Boogie band. & Daniel Johnston shoulda joined them. It's what they both needed.
	12:37pm clarke: geezers in gear!!
	12:38pm Mister Dobalina: Cool tune...
	12:38pm greg g: Nice one Michae!! Can we get a double shot with Fairies Wear Boots ???
	12:38pm DG: Wow, this is hysterical! Wonder if this is a Sabbath bonus cut somewhere. And yeah, Ozzy obviously is making up the words.
	12:38pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: This has to be the best thing ever!
	12:39pm clarke: cpt lu capt lou cpt luuuu
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: Great stuff, MS!
	12:39pm Jesse G: Good god! Id there was ever any doubt about Tony Iommis chops. That was insane!!
	12:40pm Hubig Pie: Rollicking bass line from Mr. Butler
	12:41pm gf2002: Tony Iommi pulling out all his Cliff Gallup licks! That was terrific.
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Iommi is a Fave.
	12:41pm phat in Lincoln: I've been thinking about NRBQ a lot lately. Like, they're just a perfect rock n roll band. And! They recorded a song about Lou Albano! We're they part of the Rock and Wrestling connection?
	12:41pm Eddy in Australia: there's a grandaddy song that i reckon borrows from that NRBQ
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: Lou was their "manager"
	12:42pm The Butterman: Isn’t this song more Rex kinda low brow material?
	12:42pm clarke: lou albano was their "manager" for about 15 mins
	12:42pm Eddy in Australia: ... can't remember the title, tho
	12:42pm clarke: yes, Eddy - it is on the Sophomore Slump album?
	12:43pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: That Black Sab guitar solo was excellent
	12:43pm DG: Yeah, I think the Albano/NRBQ connection (they made an album with him, or an EP?) was before Cyndi Lauper started the whole rock/wrestling thing (which I think helped to stall her career).
	12:43pm clarke: I Don't Wanna... something
	12:43pm Eddy in Australia: later, i think
	12:44pm Listener Baby: @Clarke. Paso Robles is in the Central Coast region.
	12:44pm Sean: I get fully dressed then I imagine myself naked. Leaving something to the imagination is always sexier.
	12:44pm Eddy in Australia: the sumday album
	12:44pm clarke: i can think of the middle break you are referring to, definitely.
	12:45pm clarke: @Baby - thanks!! i could look all this stuff up, but, hey - it's us.
	12:46pm Eddy in Australia: it might be 'stray dog and the chocolate shake'
	12:46pm gf2002: Quick story from Keith's guitarist on the Beach Boys tour. He and Dennis Wilson were having a toke session in the back of Dennis' Cadillac, which they towed around on tour. Someone comes up to the car and knocks on the window, and it's Bruce Johnston. He tells them something like "You'll get busted!" Dennis rolls up the window, gets back to smoking, and says don't worry about him, he's just on salary.
	12:47pm greg g: believe this is the first time I've heard Willie Harper, good stuff indeed
	12:47pm clarke: the "chorus" is: i don't wanna i don't wanna
	12:49pm clarke: also jason lytle is a Q fan
	12:49pm Dennis Diken: Delightful interview, Mikey!
	12:50pm thesecoronalives: nice to hear Amy !
	12:50pm Eddy in Australia: i didn't know that about lytle. makes sense now
	12:50pm jmd: Gangsters. The PERFECT #1 hit.
	12:51pm clarke: kind of a theme goin on here
	12:51pm paul: Now we need to hear "you're wondering now" by Amy.
	12:51pm Eddy in Australia: crazy to think gangsters is 42 years old!
	12:52pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: www.theguardian.com...
	12:52pm Andres: Two Tone gold!
	12:52pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: No Meatloaf or Bay City Rollers today, Michael.
	12:54pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Wow, we were just discussing cocktails! Michael is listening in to all of us.
	12:54pm DG: Anyone know when Keith toured with Zappa?! I saw the Mothers (as they were still called) in '73 & then 2 years later (the Beefheart tour) but don't think I saw him. Did they record together (sorry, didn't hear the entire interview)?
	12:54pm radioronan: Thanks Michael!
	12:55pm clarke: i hear you got that rocktober thing goin' on
	12:57pm spodiodi: great show! thanks, Michael Shelley!
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! Great show!
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DG wigkey says this : en.wikipedia.org... - but this confuses me compared to what I just heard Keith say !
	12:58pm Jimmy Wipper: Great show--I won!
	12:58pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the great interview and #1s! Take care all!
	12:58pm clarke: artist of the weak!

	11:15am Hells Kitch: Sounding great in Studio A this Saturday
	11:15am Listener Baby: No way. I tried about 8 times. WTF?
	11:16am phat in Lincoln: @Andres if I had a pickup (which I wish I did, a beat up old pickup) this would get play in it.
	11:17am Listener Baby: Funny. I found that on Spotify, and didn’t think it was them. Doh!
	11:17am phat in Lincoln: I just sent a note to Nuevo to play these parts. They'd find a good audience at The Zoo Bar.
	11:18am Listener Baby: PS, Baby. You do!
	11:18am Andres: phat: Yes, perfect for hitting the open road.
	11:19am Listener Baby: Rick’s Granola. Best prog band ever!

	11:24am phat in Lincoln: I'm kinda having a freakout about Nuevo. I cannot wait to get to the Zoo Bar and listen to some TX tunes. Fully vaxxed soon... I miss The Zoo. I'm ten years sober today, so bars aren't a thing for me. But The Zoo is my musical home.
	11:26am clarke: melbourne's on fiyaaaah!!!! (with Gain Struck-chah)

	11:28am Eddy in Australia: melbourne the team or the city?

	11:31am Listener Baby: And she better get some warm ones. She has none of that.
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You don't wanna get caught with Open Containers. Yeah bastard little bottles are everywhere.
	11:32am northguineahills: I did a demographic study for fun in the early 2000s on the density of chicken bones/block in Bed-Stuy. (it was irritating me to see so many bones on the sidewalk). Here in Orlando, in the tourist region, little liquour bottles are everywhere.
	11:33am Rick from SC: Hey Mike. I was out in the garden when my wife told me you mentioned my granola. I’m going to bring some to a cookout tonight
	11:33am clarke: well, that is RIGHT on the boston marathon route!! wellesley is - got a friend who lives right by there!
	11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...biodegradable rotgut preservative bottles...
	11:33am Will the Sound Guy: Trash is just gross all strung about everywhere... I picked up a contractor bag worth of trash infront of my house on the street. The very next day, there was already a bunch of crap thrown about again.
	11:33am Glistener MW: “Antiquing!” 🤖💥
	11:34am clarke: a strange thing when every movie that came out gets a nomination!! oh, it's MovieTime???
	11:35am spodiodi: most of those little bottles are probably thrown by drivers from their car windows (woo!)
	11:35am clarke: i actually saw a film this week and enjoyed it: Nobody w/bob odenkirk - recommend!!
	11:36am Frank In Queens: I want to see Nobody. I'll get to it soon.
	11:36am Listener Baby: @Clarke. Good to know that. You never know.
	11:36am xtrakrispy: That chair is a Womb Chair by Eero Saarinen. If you got an authentic one from Design Within Reach or Knoll they are in the thousands of dollars. There are TONS of knockoffs for hundreds of dollars. I have an vintage authentic one that I bought on Craigslist for $1800 from a guy who was moving to CA. It did NOT have the ottoman...
	11:36am Frank In Queens: This week we watched Sam Fuller's Park Row and Anatomy Of A Murder.
	11:37am northguineahills: Thanks, Clarke, tonight's entertainment.
	11:37am clarke: yes, this gal is SWEET and will be good to have around in case!!
	11:37am clarke: Lee Remick ----------
	11:37am Listener Baby: @Clarke. No doubt.
	11:38am Pedro in Arlington: You speak truth, Mike. Frances McDormand is now playing the Frances McDormand role, like Pacino plays Pacino and Nicholson plays Nicholson. Zzzzzz. Mank and Sound of Metal more compelling. And way dull awards show despite the hype.
	11:38am Frank In Queens: Indeed.
	11:39am gf2002: @Clarke Nobody - I enjoyed that very much too, I'd see it again! An action film that doesn't involve superheroes or Vin Deisel...and an intelligent script. Loved it! 2 thumbs up
	11:39am Andres: La La Land/Moonlight mixup was the best Oscar moment ever. Parasite wins/speeches were fun. Besides those moments and the monologues I don’t know why I bother watching.
	11:39am clarke: the girl is not lee remick, ha ha, but nicer than that. her family's house is literally next to Wellesley Campus
	11:40am phat in Lincoln: Anton Figg, former member of KISS!
	11:40am Corey: Thanks for the movie picks! A perpetual dilemma in this house come Saturday night.
	11:40am clarke: the one great thing about the oscars show this year: UNION STATION OMG!! GORGEOUS!!
	11:40am McGroovey: Shouldn't this be called Take 4????
	11:40am northguineahills: @xtrakrispy: I somehow acquired an Isamu Noguchi lounge chair for free. Then the cat decided to shred it. whoops....
	11:41am Jimmy Wipper: @Clarke, glad to hear you liked Nobody! I was wondering how it would be and we love Bob Odenkirk.
	11:41am Eddy in Australia: second the love for union station
	11:41am James: Am I crazy or is this Take Five in 4/4?
	11:42am clarke: it is pretty violent. it is pretty great.
	11:42am gf2002: I finally watched Mank this week. Terrific cinematography, a few great performances, but something about it fell short. If that had been made back in 1972-76, maybe that would have been the missing link in the dialogue or something.
	11:42am McGroovey: @James exactly
	11:43am clarke: i agree gf. there is something not quite fantastic about Mank - which i wanted to love so much!!
	11:43am phat in Lincoln: Maybe I'll watch a movie this week. It's been ages, and I'm on the board of an arthouse!
	11:43am northguineahills: I was thinking the same thing, James!
	11:45am John: C.Chenier setlist GREAT - WHERE / HOW you see documentary??
	11:45am phat in Lincoln: Clifton Chenier is more Zoo Bar music. I've seen him play there! Sigh. I may need to start a new band soon, too.
	11:45am McGroovey: I mean, I think Take 5 in 4/4 sounded great, but if it were me, I'd call it Take 4.
	11:46am clarke: yes - there is an e-flat zydecho
	11:47am adamdoesit: HOT PEPPER is so good, and Long Toes is about my dog. You can see HOT PEPPER and its A side, DRY WOOD, on Criterion. Probably also YouTube.
	11:47am phat in Lincoln: E flat wouldn't be easy for a guitarist or bass player, either, necessarily.
	11:47am northguineahills: Hohner makes an E flat accordion.
	11:47am rhett: The director of Hot Pepper is Les Blank. All of his films are great.
	11:47am Late Bloomer: When you tune it flat you can stick to the black keys on the keyboard. Makes it easier for some people says my keyboard friends
	11:47am Jimmy Wipper: I read the other day that Richard Thompson lives in yer' town, Michael. Ever run into him at the local supermarket?
	11:48am Late Bloomer: The show is sounding great today👍
	11:48am clarke: in a beret!!
	11:48am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Richard reveals in his autobiography that he would walk 10 miles back to his parents house after see The Who's second Tuesday night set at The Marquee.
	11:48am phat in Lincoln: Richard Thompson's history of pop songs tour was a revelation. That dude can play and his version of "Oops, I Did it Again" was eye-opening.
	11:48am Todd-o-phonic Todd: "seeing"
	11:49am Michael Shelley: Hot Pepper is on Kanopy - free with a library card!
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I would walk 10miles for TheWho @ the Marquee ...after that - could probly fly.
	11:51am Listener Baby: @Phat I saw that tour as well. See My Friends blew my mind in a pretty huge way.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if not hear...
	11:53am clarke: huge Thompson fan, but one of my favortiest thangs he ever did was production on a few Loudon Wainwright albums!!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah he said Playboy put the word out for Best Songs of the Millennium - & what they really wanted was of the Century... So RT put it out on three discs (?) - & toured it. I saw that. Aftewords he talked to the audience. Some nice young kid asked him about becoming a Gittarist or such - & RT said - Practice. & then ...Practice Some More.
	11:54am McGroovey: Are: Eb: I played with a guy for a while who liked to tune a half-step down, but he'd still call out chords as if he was still in normal tuning. I didn't want to ___ around tuning down myself, so I had to adapt, but it was a pita. But his songs were great.
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Haven't missed the interview? Excellent. Hey, Todd, Rev Rab, all!
	11:54am adamdoesit: While free for the viewer, Kanopy is not free for the library. Wikipedia: "…each view (watching a video for 30 seconds or more) will prompt the sale of a license fee for that title. Costs vary per institutional contract, but have been estimated in 2019 for single titles to be $150 for one year, $350 for a 3-year license." NYPL dropped it: costs were too high and hard to predict.
	11:54am Zephyr: Wow. Big Alice Cooper borrow for “Billion Dollar Babies”, the Donovan cameo...
	11:55am Eddy in Australia: FYI Kanopy has a load of Les Blank films - shorts and features - assuming their catalog is similar in Australia and the US
	11:56am clarke: Baby - still around??
	11:56am Listener Baby: One of two best shows I’ve ever seen in a club was RT and an insane band. Two guys from Fairport, including Dave Mattacks on drum. Clive Gregson and Christine Collester. They were unbelievably great
	11:57am Listener Baby: Here
	11:57am Peter Horvath: Great show so far! Don’t tell keith, but I think I prefer the bystanders version of 98.6…
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The answer to should I see RT Live is always Yes.
	11:58am clarke: @Baby: did your daughter even visit wellesley?
	11:59am Listener Baby: Yes. But was unmoved by it. Which makes all this so surprising.
	11:59am clarke: that's strange!! she will love boston!
	12:00pm clarke: it is a GREAT school!!
	12:01pm Listener Baby: She loved Boston. She found the campus a bit lonesome. But nobody was around at the time. She’s going to do great there.
	12:02pm clarke: of course she will!!! the T makes everything close-by!!
	12:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What a tale !

	12:10pm NikiA: I missed whose being interviewed? could someone tell me the name 🙂
	12:11pm Mike tp: KEITH had the big hit.
	12:11pm clarke: look to your left....over....THERE....
	12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NiKiA : en.wikipedia.org...
	12:13pm phat in Lincoln: 15 grand a week is a lot of bread.
	12:13pm Jimmy Wipper: @Clarke, I read your kismet line and I thought that feed was a few minutes behind!
	12:13pm Andres: Was not expecting a reference to Quiet Riot.
	12:14pm clarke: i have this one turntable - among a few - and if i play a record on it - the artist seems to die.
	12:15pm clarke: unfortunately, i don't have any hip-hop records.
	12:15pm Mike tp: 15 LARGE
	12:15pm Andres: clarke: Burn that turntable.
	12:16pm clarke: NO!! it is an old Garard. sounds wunderbar.
	12:16pm NikiA: thank you rev rabbit!
	12:16pm miktp: ming with APPICE AT FORT DIX..super interesting interview...
	12:19pm spodiodi: cool
	12:20pm Michael in Montclair: @miktp, the Carmine Appice at Fort Dix tidbit is interesting. I am enjoying this interview a lot.
	12:21pm Andres: Zappa "drank an urn of coffee a day"! My guts are roiling at the thought.
	12:22pm clarke: those revue-type back-up bands make those tours a bit sad, to me. the oldies tours, i mean.
	12:22pm phat in Lincoln: Love this interview.
	12:23pm spodiodi: nice interview
	12:23pm clarke: good stuff - as always!
	12:23pm muddybrookrambler: That made my day! What a great interview!! Thank you!
	12:23pm Will C: Great interview!
	12:24pm clarke: @Wipper - wha's goin' ahn??
	12:25pm phat in Lincoln: How in the hell do I not know this song?
	12:25pm Hubig Pie: That urn o' coffee was brewed at 8 in the am and tasted great all day long
	12:25pm HyperDose: Amazing interview. Keith sounds like a swell guy!
	12:25pm Andres: I appreciate the curiosity of your questions, Michael. Great interview!
	12:26pm patrick321: just caught the end of that Michael but really enjoyed it. Will get back to the beginning on the archive. thanks!
	12:26pm SeanG: KEITH!!
	12:27pm Andres: Nice hookup, Baby!
	12:29pm Squints: hey now. straggling in late.
	12:30pm clarke: i hope you brought enough beer for all of us!!
	12:30pm Squints: i'm guessing "where's eddie?" was already taken by then.
	12:31pm DG: I'm assuming the "Charlie Brown" in this song is NOT the comic strip character, like that Coasters hit. Except the Coasters one was written before "Peanuts" was that famous, I'm sure it was by the time this was a hit....wonder why she picked that name.
	12:31pm Michael Shelley: me too!
	12:32pm clarke: charlie brown - can never get an even break
	12:32pm Squints: i did bring chewing gum.
	12:32pm clarke: i don't drink any more anyway!
	12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but I also don't drink any less...
	12:33pm Listener Baby: @Baby. FYI. Known as The Central Coast of CA. Great great interview. You're a friggin Ninja!
	12:34pm clarke: is that what you really call the area where the winery is??
	12:37pm HyperDose: Whoaaa this is ROCKIN'! \m/
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sabbath - a Boogie band. & Daniel Johnston shoulda joined them. It's what they both needed.
	12:37pm clarke: geezers in gear!!
	12:38pm Mister Dobalina: Cool tune...
	12:38pm greg g: Nice one Michae!! Can we get a double shot with Fairies Wear Boots ???
	12:38pm DG: Wow, this is hysterical! Wonder if this is a Sabbath bonus cut somewhere. And yeah, Ozzy obviously is making up the words.
	12:38pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: This has to be the best thing ever!
	12:39pm clarke: cpt lu capt lou cpt luuuu
	12:39pm Handy Haversack: Great stuff, MS!
	12:39pm Jesse G: Good god! Id there was ever any doubt about Tony Iommis chops. That was insane!!
	12:40pm Hubig Pie: Rollicking bass line from Mr. Butler
	12:41pm gf2002: Tony Iommi pulling out all his Cliff Gallup licks! That was terrific.
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Iommi is a Fave.
	12:41pm phat in Lincoln: I've been thinking about NRBQ a lot lately. Like, they're just a perfect rock n roll band. And! They recorded a song about Lou Albano! We're they part of the Rock and Wrestling connection?
	12:41pm Eddy in Australia: there's a grandaddy song that i reckon borrows from that NRBQ
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: Lou was their "manager"
	12:42pm The Butterman: Isn’t this song more Rex kinda low brow material?
	12:42pm clarke: lou albano was their "manager" for about 15 mins
	12:42pm Eddy in Australia: ... can't remember the title, tho
	12:42pm clarke: yes, Eddy - it is on the Sophomore Slump album?
	12:43pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: That Black Sab guitar solo was excellent
	12:43pm DG: Yeah, I think the Albano/NRBQ connection (they made an album with him, or an EP?) was before Cyndi Lauper started the whole rock/wrestling thing (which I think helped to stall her career).
	12:43pm clarke: I Don't Wanna... something
	12:43pm Eddy in Australia: later, i think
	12:44pm Listener Baby: @Clarke. Paso Robles is in the Central Coast region.
	12:44pm Sean: I get fully dressed then I imagine myself naked. Leaving something to the imagination is always sexier.
	12:44pm Eddy in Australia: the sumday album
	12:44pm clarke: i can think of the middle break you are referring to, definitely.
	12:45pm clarke: @Baby - thanks!! i could look all this stuff up, but, hey - it's us.
	12:46pm Eddy in Australia: it might be 'stray dog and the chocolate shake'
	12:46pm gf2002: Quick story from Keith's guitarist on the Beach Boys tour. He and Dennis Wilson were having a toke session in the back of Dennis' Cadillac, which they towed around on tour. Someone comes up to the car and knocks on the window, and it's Bruce Johnston. He tells them something like "You'll get busted!" Dennis rolls up the window, gets back to smoking, and says don't worry about him, he's just on salary.
	12:47pm greg g: believe this is the first time I've heard Willie Harper, good stuff indeed
	12:47pm clarke: the "chorus" is: i don't wanna i don't wanna
	12:49pm clarke: also jason lytle is a Q fan
	12:49pm Dennis Diken: Delightful interview, Mikey!
	12:50pm thesecoronalives: nice to hear Amy !
	12:50pm Eddy in Australia: i didn't know that about lytle. makes sense now
	12:50pm jmd: Gangsters. The PERFECT #1 hit.
	12:51pm clarke: kind of a theme goin on here
	12:51pm paul: Now we need to hear "you're wondering now" by Amy.
	12:51pm Eddy in Australia: crazy to think gangsters is 42 years old!
	12:52pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: www.theguardian.com...
	12:52pm Andres: Two Tone gold!
	12:52pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: No Meatloaf or Bay City Rollers today, Michael.
	12:54pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Wow, we were just discussing cocktails! Michael is listening in to all of us.
	12:54pm DG: Anyone know when Keith toured with Zappa?! I saw the Mothers (as they were still called) in '73 & then 2 years later (the Beefheart tour) but don't think I saw him. Did they record together (sorry, didn't hear the entire interview)?
	12:54pm radioronan: Thanks Michael!
	12:55pm clarke: i hear you got that rocktober thing goin' on
	12:57pm spodiodi: great show! thanks, Michael Shelley!
	12:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! Great show!
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DG wigkey says this : en.wikipedia.org... - but this confuses me compared to what I just heard Keith say !
	12:58pm Jimmy Wipper: Great show--I won!
	12:58pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the great interview and #1s! Take care all!
	12:58pm clarke: artist of the weak!
