	🎸 ♥ 9:13am PaulRobeson1920: Good morning Joe, Joe Hill & all

	9:16am yippie: my favorite Columbus song is the Nina the pinta the Santa Maria by Kurt Weill and ira Gershwin
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am Brian in UK: Was just thinking of Phil Ochs' song Joe Hill, when up pops Phil. Great selections, Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 9:17am melinda: @TDK there is an interesting documentary about that and related stuff, I think it is called Anaconda (after the mine company).
	🎸 ♥ 9:17am PaulRobeson1920: Good morning, Phil Ochs!!!!
	9:19am dano59: Real People? Fake news!
	♥ 9:19am TDK60: Thanks Melinda. I think there are two drama films on Hill. I saw one long ago.
	9:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I like that Columbus song about chopping off First Nations' peoples hands when they didn't bring enuff gold. Yeah that really swings...
	♥ 9:23am adampsyche: oh there's a taylor swift opportunity here....
	🎸 ♥ 9:24am Handy Haversack: Yeah, hasn't aged well, Rev Rab. For Indigenous People's Day, here's a great tool shows the peoples and languages indigenous to anyone's locality and also the treaties that were made concerning them: native-land.ca .
	9:24am dano59: Omie Wise? Jimmy Carter (Blue Mountain) Henry Darger (Natalie M.) Paul Cezanne (5 Chinese Brothers) Jack and Neal... keep the love going Joe

	🎸 ♥ 9:27am Threemoons: Heyo! Love me some Nico but off to the showers...
	♥ 9:28am Joe McG: By the way, the song doesn't have to be about the person it's named for.
	♥ 9:28am annie: @ KfHP: i know the woman who holds the "rights" to Smoky Bear, it definitely has no "the" in it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28am Threemoons: And loving the theme today.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am DjLorraine: Don't play Irene Wilde by Ian Hunter, it leaves me sad and i'd need more “yips"
	♥ 9:30am Joe McG: Thanks, Threemoons! Hey, if someone has time, can you post the four links to the previous editions of this show? That way people can see what I've played before.
	9:30am prudy: good morning Joe...what a sad sweet song by Chestnutt...
	♥ 9:31am annie: Joe, did you get my message?
	🎸 ♥ 9:31am Hughie Considine: I always associate Julian Cope's "Robert Mitchum" with the Jazz Butcher's "Peter Lorre." R.I.P.: Pat Fish, aka the Jazz Butcher.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am karlward: People You May Know archive shows: 2017: wfmu.org... 2018: wfmu.org... 2019: wfmu.org... 2020: wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:32am Joe McG: @annie: I didn't have time to go through my messages yet, annie, if you left me one. After the show...
	♥ 9:32am Joe McG: You're aces, karl. Good to see you at 7SD/Richard Thompson!
	♥ 9:33am adampsyche: ahh i didn't know what to search for. nice sets.
	9:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Guessing Robert Montgomery by Love was played years ago...
	♥ 9:35am TDK60: Joe McG, you were at that Thompson house show! Good set?
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am Brian in UK: The links are under Upcoming events at the top of this page. Guess someone else wrote it as in in the third person.
	9:36am djsheilab: That Vic Chestnutt song was beautiful. Morning Joe!
	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: @TDK60: It was lovely. Even got to carry his gear and say a few words to the man!
	🎸 ♥ 9:37am Brian in UK: Joe 'I was Richard Thompsons roadie' McGasko.
	9:37am BAMstutz: Was that Charles Darwin song a cover of The Low Anthem?
	🎸 ♥ 9:38am karlward: Joe: if you run out of songs for this show, check your email.
	9:38am PJ: “Sylvia Plath” by Peter Laughner “My Mother Looked Like Marilyn Monroe” by Tommy Keene Richard Thompson has a lot. Off the top of my head: “Don’t Sit on My Jimmy Shands” “Josef Locke” “Fergus Laing” (about a particularly despicable developer) Vic Chesnutt has even more. Off the top of my head: “Lucinda Williams” “Stevie Smith” “Isadora Duncan”
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am Handy Haversack: There's TMBG's "James K. Polk," but what with Columbus and Hudson already in the mix, a little Manifest Destiny really goes a long way on today of all days.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Wow! Cool, annie. In my haste to post the comment, I didn't fully research the situation.
	9:44am Paul in the OC: Profumo indeed & I think you just named the other gal implicated in that one
	9:45am Blix: The Fall, William Wray?
	♥ 9:46am TDK60: The Skatalites did an instrumental called Christine Keeler, if my brain recalls well.
	♥ 9:49am Joe McG: @PJ: We will likely hear "Josef Locke" later. True, Vic likes to do these tunes nearly as much as P hil Ochs. Don't forget "Arthur Murray."
	♥ 9:49am Joe McG: @karl: Ah, Karl, thanks, but too much to juggle already. I did take some listener suggestions last week, though!
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am karlward: Joe: oh man that means you're not going to play the song "Joe Belock"!
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: HI, SHEILA B! :)
	9:50am Rick A: Good Morning Joe and All, I remember the song "Black Superman" by Johnny Wakelin. That does not qualify for this show though was a big hit on the AM radio station my parents and I listened to in the 70s.
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: @karl: Is that Thighmaster?
	🎸 ♥ 9:51am Webhamster Henry: I just want to say: Rope a Dope today.
	9:52am Gerry from Miami: Joe, one of my favorite "name" songs is by the great Prefab Sprout from their album "Steve McQueen." The song "Faron Young" alludes to the country singer. Oddly, there is no song on the record called "Steve McQueen!"
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am karlward: Joe: no it's pretty new. Like from about six hours ago.
	♥ 9:53am Joe McG: Oh, bummer, I wish I'd gotten it sooner. @Gerry: I'm pretty sure I played "Faron Young" on the first or second one of these specials. I adore PFS.
	9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As the History is often spun that TheBeatles were a remedy in the USA for the malaise after JFK's assassination - in the UK the rise of TheBeatles was charged with being a distraction in the Press away from the Profumo Scandal. Allegedly Lennon hearing of this prompted him to make his 'cheap seats clap hands, others - rattle yer jewelry' @ their Royal Command Performance 4th Nov., '63 - when I was less than 24 hours old... Class & changing social mores all in there - & the shift away from taking the government & politics seriously... The Scandal was that a Brit official high up had been sleeping with the same young woman that a Russian official had.
	9:59am eric from lake hiawatha: Orions Belte, thanks
	♥ 10:00am annie: it's really fine, Ken, we are not all required to fact-check each word that comes out of our mouths.. Go, and sin no more
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am The Oscar: Mornin'! As a lifelong Masshole, I am ashamed I've never heard this Loco before!
	10:02am Bloviating Ignoramus: Johnny Carson - Beach Boys Love You
	♥ 10:03am Jeff Golick: Yo, @The Oscar. I am heeding the call of the Masshole. New one on me, too, this Loco.
	🎸 ♥ 10:04am karlward: That's right Tori you just got dissed
	10:04am DJ Guin: Tina Yothers and Louise Brooks take umbrage with this song.
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: @Oscar: Obscure B! @Guin: Louise Brooks, sigh.
	10:06am TVP: Song idea: Fleshtones - Alex Trebek (thank you Todd-o-phonic Todd for getting that song stuck in my head)
	10:08am Gerry from Miami: Joe, have you ever played "Brian Wilson" by Barenaked Ladies on one of these theme shows?
	10:08am DJ Guin: @joe -- this tune sounds as if Frank, Dean, Joey Bishop, and Sammy are planning on heisting a truckload of feminine products for Angie Dickenson
	♥ 10:09am Joe McG: @Gerry: Ah no, I'm not too fond of that band even though it fits the criteria. @TVP: Good one!
	10:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Think there's a cover of Brian Wilson in previous years ?
	♥ 10:16am Fuzzy: Good morning everyone! It's been a while since I heard the Pixies' Alec Eiffel.
	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: @Fuzzy: Forgot about that one!
	10:19am Moe: Good mix this morning, surprised to hear joe hill…
	♥ 10:19am Little Danny: Good morning Joe, everyone
	♥ 10:21am greg g: Joe, Enjoying the show immensely! & there is a certain song by The Go Betweens , that I think would fit ...
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am The Oscar: I've been catching up on my Robert Altman blind spots lately-- good stuff.
	10:21am Rick A: A song about Robert Altman, one of top five favorite filmmakers, that's a great find, Joe, and sly pairing the song with one about Shelley Duvall who was discovered by Altman in Houston before shooting Brewster McCloud.
	♥ 10:22am βrian: Windbreakers have zippers?
	♥ 10:22am Joe McG: Thanks, Greg! I think I've played "Lee Remick," but I can't remember. @Rick: That whole '70s period of Altman is pretty stellar. I recently saw "The Wedding" for the first time and laughed and laughed.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am listener Rey: Hi joe and all. Looked through the playlists from past years. There really are a lot of these!
	10:22am Toothgrinder Tom: Morning, Joe.
	10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Triggering the Emmylou Harris receptors. Very nice.
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: @Rey: I know, it became a "thing" for me. I think this is the last one!
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am DjLorraine: Frank Lloyd Wright by Simon & Garfunkel
	♥ 10:24am Joe McG: @Lorraine: Ah, no, I'm pretty strict. It has a "So Long" in there! :)
	10:24am Rick A: I saw A Wedding at an Altman retro at the IFC. Times critic A.O. Scott did a short introduction. Yeah, it's one of his criminally underrated films, really funny, with an odd cast, including Carol Burnett and Desi Arnez Jr.
	♥ 10:24am Fuzzy: Bobby Z's "Hurricane" would have worked with the start of this set, but hey, the show's only so long, ya know?
	🎸 ♥ 10:24am listener Rey: Liked that you did Cassius Clay and Ali
	♥ 10:24am TDK60: Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult?
	♥ 10:25am Joe McG: @Fuzzy: Oh, you said it! Thanks to the folks who sent me suggestions by e-mail last week, btw.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am The Oscar: I saw Harmony Korine a few years ago at the Harvard Film Archive, and it was one of the funniest Q&As I've ever heard. At one point someone asked if we were to take his characters at a surface level, and he responded "I never thought of them as surfers."
	10:25am P-90: Altman’s coming due for reexamination, reappraisal, revival imo.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am Mike Sin: I look forward to this show each time!
	10:26am Toothgrinder Tom: This song brings back a lot of memories.
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: Why thanks, Mike, good to see you as always!
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Oscar: Ha ha!
	♥ 10:26am greg g: Ok Joe, just throwing it out . Carry on please! simply a wonderful of music, thank you.
	♥ 10:28am Joe McG: Don't throw it out, great song! :)
	🎸 ♥ 10:29am karlward: Love Alex Lahey, but I missed her when she came to the States in 2019
	♥ 10:30am Jeff Golick: Watched "Moonrise Kingdom" again last night, almost accidentally. I find it very affecting, despite all the affectations.
	♥ 10:30am Little Danny: this is great
	♥ 10:31am Joe McG: @Golick: I agree! Very affected, but charming!
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am The Oscar: Moonrise Kingdom is one of my favorites of his because it's one where he lets himself lean into pure farce more than some of his others. Looking forward to The French Dispatch!
	10:33am prudy: great song by Ass Ponys, and great name for group...
	♥ 10:33am chresti: Morning Joe and company! Checking in from the tennis booth in Griffith Park.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am The Oscar: It also has for me maybe the funniest line in any of his films: "Was he a good dog?" "Who can say?"
	♥ 10:34am βrian: For many years, when somebody would ask me, "Has anyone ever mentioned …" I would reply, "Donald Sutherland." [Conversation over.]
	♥ 10:35am Joe McG: @Brian: :) @chresti: I love when you're listening from the tennis booth!
	♥ 10:36am βrian: The Phantom Tennis Booth.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am The Oscar: I've taken to watching old Siskel & Ebert episodes on Youtube during my morning exercise. They really were the best.
	♥ 10:37am greg g: Joe, Ha! meant to write "Just throwing it out there" No keeping that one and several others by The Go Betweens in the collection. Well , thank you again and Happy Indigenous People's Day to you and everybody.
	10:37am P-90: I think Moonrise feels so good partly because those Anderson-esque affectations are so unabashed and uninhibited, by that point he felt like he could just do whatever he wanted without concern that his approach might be distancing to his audience.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if the presence of Pledging Booths in various cities would yield income for the station.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am Handy Haversack: There's our BÖC!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am Will the Sound Guy: 🔥
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am YETI BOB: the band MGMT have a song called "Brian Eno", too bad it's not a better song
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @Oscar: I loved that show! Watched it every week. Wasn't the same after Gene wasn't there. @P-90: Maybe so! But it also feels more felt to me, not just an exercise in style like "Budapest" or some of the others.
	♥ 10:40am βrian: Öysters can give one dieresis.
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @Bob: It's OK, I have it with me and might play it, not sure.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41am Handy Haversack: Only in months with an ř in them, βrian.
	♥ 10:41am Little Danny: @Ken: I am into yer pledging booth vision
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: BOC are really fun and interesting, more people should talk about them.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am Handy Haversack: Agreed, Joe!
	10:42am Vincemole: Thank you so much. I consider this to be their last masterpiece of yuk rock
	♥ 10:43am TDK60: Patti Smith stormed the stage at a BOC gig. She had to be removed. (She was pals.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am YETI BOB: "Our band is scientist rock / But I was E. Bloom" Minutemen, "History Lesson Pt. II"
	10:44am Glistener MW: Adding that Zombie Joan Crawford song to my Halloween mix!
	10:44am Glistener MW: This is incredible, Joe. Thank you!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:44am YETI BOB: when "Double Nickels" came out I didn't know who E. Bloom was
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am YETI BOB: also Wooden Wand made an LP called "Buck Dharma" and I didn't get the reference at first. I came late to the Cult.
	🎸 ♥ 10:46am Handy Haversack: TDK60: frequent collaborator, almost became their lead singer, and dated the keys player.
	🎸 ♥ 10:46am YETI BOB: [at one point BÖC's manager gave them all goofy names, which they eventually rejected except for Buck]
	10:46am Glistener MW: !!! I had no idea there was a new Clem Snide LP — will track it down!
	10:46am P-90: Roger did have a dark side.
	10:47am TVP: I personally hope that Roger Ebert's last words involved eviscerating a bad movie.
	♥ 10:47am brycepunk1: Really enjoying your set this morning. Thank you.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48am Ken From Hyde Park: @YB - GWAR embraced the idea of goofy names.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am YETI BOB: KFHP: Embraced and devoured!
	10:49am Glistener MW: Clem Snide’s Roger Ebert story is true, apparently — just reading an interview with Ebert’s widow now, and: “But the day before he passed away, he wrote me a note: "This is all an elaborate hoax." I asked him, "What's a hoax?" And he was talking about this world, this place. He said it was all an illusion. I thought he was just confused. But he was not confused. He wasn't visiting heaven, not the way we think of heaven. He described it as a vastness that you can't even imagine. It was a place where the past, present, and future were happening all at once.”
	10:51am Glistener MW: @TVP: HA!!! That would’ve been amazing and apropos. “Dana Carvey’s MASTER OF DISGUISE… two… thumbs……….. down…………………”
	10:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So - 'life is an elaborate hoax' from a transcendental perspective.
	♥ 10:52am TDK60: Oh yeah, DJ Kim Soirise does a swell show over there. (Global Grease on the Drummer stream.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:52am YETI BOB: I know Joe isn't in need of suggestions but I just thought of the Butthole Surfers who have both "Lou Reed" and "Gary Floyd". I'm much more into the BHS than MGMT!
	♥ 10:52am βrian: All you guys who don't suffer from Cucurbitophobia should really donate.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53am karlward: JAZZ
	10:53am Glistener MW: …..Joe, you terrified me for a moment that I’d time-travelled back to 2020.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am Handy Haversack: Wait, there are no more JAZZ fanny packs? How ... how ... I guess I just assumed one JAZZ fanny pack would contain infinitely more of them.
	🎸 ♥ 10:55am Jason from Houston: That's not how that works, Handy. LOL
	10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think Johnny Allen was stuck w/ a warehouse full ? Perhaps not available thru FMU @ present...
	10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *thot
	🎸 ♥ 10:55am Jason from Houston: Also, good morning!
	10:55am Toothgrinder Tom: If life is an elaborate hoax does that mean I don’t have to pay my water bill?
	10:55am Juli: I gots the job!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am YETI BOB: Congratulations Juli!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am The Oscar: The new Velvet Underground doc is amazing for a lot of reason, but not least because it features extensive interviews with Jonathan Richman!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Handy Haversack: Hey, way to go, Juli!
	10:56am Juli: TY@! WFMU GEAR HERE I COME
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Chazzah! Congrats, Juli! 🤑
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Juli - sincere condolences. Hope you find gainful employment not any more dehumanizing than necessary...
	10:57am Toothgrinder Tom: I like David Bowie’s ‘Andy Warhol (or really anything from ‘Hunky Dory.’
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am YETI BOB: Tom: Inside the game/simulation/illusion you have to pay the water bill, or there will be consequences. Outside the illusion, you don't have to pay it. Good luck getting to the outside!!
	10:57am Rick A: Jonathan Richman has a song called "The Velvet Underground" which does not qualify for either Joe B.'s band name show last week or this one. Richman also wrote "Walter Johnson" about the famed early pitcher.
	10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Richard Claxton Gregory October 12, 1932 – August 19, 2017
	♥ 10:58am TDK60: RIP Dick Gregory.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58am Handy Haversack: You explained to them that we need you available for comments all day, right, Juli? YB, are there more JAZZ fanny packs outside the hoax? Is that where they all went. If I reach inside mine ... is that where my hand goes?
	10:59am Toothgrinder Tom: I see, Yeti Bob. Oh well. Time to fold the laundry, I guess.
	10:59am Glistener MW: I’ve always found this Dylan track insultingly-presumptuous, in Bob assuming he knows how little of an outlaw I am.
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Right. RogerEbert has the fannypacks.
	♥ 10:59am Roberto: My college pals and I idolized Lenny Bruce.
	♥ 11:00am Roberto: I recall Dr. Demento playing this track when it was released.
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am YETI BOB: "Hoax" sounds kind of malicious, I prefer "illusion" or "veil of Maya". And I don't know where your hand goes when you insert it into the cursed JAZZ fanny-pack - I was a JA supporter but I was too afraid to get one of those!!
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Lenny Bruce died from an overdose of police.' - Phil Spector
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am The Oscar: In 8th grade I did a school project about Lenny Bruce, which culminated in me reciting "To is a Preposition, Come is a Verb" in front of my English class. I am very, very lucky I went to a progressive high school.
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @MW: Ha ha! @Roberto: It's one of Bob's, uh, more interesting ones.
	11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bob might consider getting out of topical Protest Music. Perhaps with electric instruments. Radical, I know...
	11:02am paul: "Phil Spector died too late." - me
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am alanSixº: g'mornin gentleman joe, i'm glad i just woke up and found out there's a song about roberto duran that i can archive up later - manos di piedra!
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: paul - no arguments.
	11:03am A Bee: I say “juicy avo-cad-o” all the time because of this version of this song. It’s my favorite
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am YETI BOB: @TheOscar: Hahaha! Did you say "blah blah blah?"
	♥ 11:04am Joe McG: @Alan6: You bet! I just watched a movie about Roberto Duran. Usual biopic beats, but DeNiro was in it.
	11:05am Toothgrinder Tom: Wow this cover is really ‘out there.’ I like it.
	♥ 11:05am Joe McG: @A Bee: Ha ha
	11:05am PJ: DB added a bunch of chords and words and arrangement junk and sadly drained all the impact from this song.
	🎸 ♥ 11:05am alanSixº: oh cool - yeah i was obsessed with boxing as a kid and that was a great era to love the sport and duran was at the top of my favorites
	11:05am Cooh John: Great show, Joe. I will have to catch up on the archive. Loved your suggestion for James Connolly, Handy. Whenever Black 47 came to town, Larry would invite a young preteen girl to the stage who would sing the whole song! 🙋‍♂️DjLorraine
	♥ 11:06am βrian: Indigenous People's Day is already on my calendar.
	11:06am paul: No mail today.
	11:06am PJ: Jonathan’s version is sarcastic and funny, and Bowie’s is humorless.
	🎸 ♥ 11:06am Jason from Houston: Speaking of assholes! LOL
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am The Oscar: @Yeti Bob I recited the whole thing! My teacher approved, but I remember watching her quietly getting up and closing the classroom door.
	11:07am Listener Robert: I think I figures out why the station pledge thermometer on the main page was stuck for a while this morning: It's because Mr. McGasko's prep for his show took him away from his listener service responsibilities, which apparently include hand cranking the tote Comptometer. Am I right?
	♥ 11:07am Joe McG: @Jason: I like this tune, although I could've chosen a different artist from this album. All songs qualify for this show!
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am Ken From Hyde Park: Around David Bowie's birthday (January 8), there should be an Androgynous Peoples' Day holiday.
	11:08am Mikula: Omg this is hilarious!
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am Handy Haversack: Wow, Cooh John, that's amazing.
	11:08am Toothgrinder Tom: @PJ you have a point, his version sounds a lot artsier. But if you have a high tolerance for that kind of thing, it’s interesting. Almost unrecognizable. A copycat cover wouldn’t be that interesting.
	11:08am PJ: Fun fact: Jeff Koons’ father was a big car dealer in the MD/DC area
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am Jason from Houston: All good and understood!
	11:09am Glistener MW: Momus!!! an old WFMU favorite I don’t think I’ve heard on here in years. 💙
	11:09am A Bee: Joe do you do Westley Willis songs or is it simply too many?
	♥ 11:09am Joe McG: @A Bee: I feel like I played one on one of the previous 4 shows, but he has SO many....
	♥ 11:09am Roberto: Needless to say, when I visited the Picasso Museum in Paris a couple of years ago, that song was playing in my head the whole time.

	11:10am Kat in Chicago: Yay Scritti Politti

	♥ 11:11am Yes: howdy
	11:11am A Bee: @Joe I get it. It’s one of his core generes he writes about. I think Opera Windfry is my favorite
	11:11am Mikula: Nice sequence, joe. Keep the pomo and crit theo songs coming…how many songs could we find…
	♥ 11:12am Joe McG: @Mikula: Ha ha, I may be out as of now!
	11:12am PJ: @ToothgrinderTom: Iggy did a good version of Pablo Picasso that was pretty faithful to the original.
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am Handy Haversack: Joe, there was one, I noticed. But only one, I think. Agreed, Cooh John!
	11:14am paul: No singles today?
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: @paul: Don't have enough name 45s anymore, used 'em all up on the previous 4 specials!
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am The Oscar: My partner just passed through the room: "Is this Ariana Grande?" "Yeah, doing a song called 'Pete Davidson.'" "Ha, gross!"
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am Will the Sound Guy: I've gotta jet i guess the winery show has to start at 1 now, not 2.... thank you Joe, good day all!!
	11:17am paul: @Joe, say it ain't so!
	♥ 11:17am Roberto: Oof Anita Bryant feh
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Oscar: Some wag on the YouTube comments board said the song was about as short as their relationship!
	11:18am Toothgrinder Tom: @PJ I’ll check it out, thanks!
	11:18am TVP: "I haven't seen anything like this since the Anita Bryant concert."
	♥ 11:19am holland oats: great anita bryant cover at the yo la summerstage show
	11:19am davefromtoronto: love bowie and that tune but not at the same time! ugh.
	11:19am V Priceless: where's the Pie Kill when you need 'em?
	♥ 11:19am Joe McG: @holland oats: Really? What did they do?
	♥ 11:20am holland oats: ira's mom came out to close the night with "in my little corner of the world" and i'm still in tears
	♥ 11:20am chresti: No Daniel Boone?
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @holland: Oh of course!
	11:21am Kat in Chicago: I never would have guessed that Leon Russell did an Anita Bryant song. Maybe y’all knew about that one, but I didn’t
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am DjLorraine: Reminds me of Leon Russell's Too Much Monkey Business
	♥ 11:22am TDK60: Good for Leon (if I heard the lyrics right). Never heard the L.R. track before. Miss his rockin.'
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am YETI BOB: Just remembered, Tortoise had a song called "Ry Cooder" on their first LP
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: @Bob: Forgot about that one! Could've done a Ry double shot.
	11:25am Glistener MW: I wonder if Bonnie Prince Billy has a song about Will Oldham? That would be fitting, considering Will Oldham was the one who interviewed BPB for his biography
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am tim from washington: Hi Joe and everybody! Excellent concept today. I'm stoked you played Dirtbombs' Tina Louise.
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Brian in UK: Is Bill singing this straight from Ry's Wikipedia entry?
	11:27am PJ: For next year’s movie star portion of the program: Charlton Heston by Stump Robert de Niro’s Waiting by Bananarama
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am YETI BOB: Double shot of Ry(e) sounds good.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am DjLorraine: Cooh John 🙋
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am The Oscar: That Bill Callahan song could have almost been Matt Farley (aka The Passionate and Objective Jokerfan)!
	♥ 11:28am Guido from Cologne: Dana Gillespie "Andy Warhol"? (which is the original version of the David Bowie composition)
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @Guido: Can't believe I haven't played that one before! Have I?
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am Handy Haversack: Drivin' N' Cryin'! Nice, Joe!
	♥ 11:30am βrian: My habib'ti just commented on how much that guy sounds like Richard Thompson.
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh gosh who knows how many of these Matt Farley has...
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am YETI BOB: I've been trying to come up with a chain, where A has a song about B, and then B has a song about C. Haven't come up with anything yet.
	🎸 11:31am Judy from Croton: Making My Monday! Thank you Joe
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am YETI BOB: I'll be impressed if anyone finds one!
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am Dano59: I have a page in my songwriting book titled "Write a Song About:" Natalie Wood is on the list. @Karlward, thx for posting the previous 4 editions.
	♥ 11:31am βrian: And extra credit if John Prine is in that loop.
	11:31am Mister Dobalina: Gonna havta clicky star fav this one.
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am tim from washington: That Faces interlude was so rad!
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: Thanks for saying howdy, Judy!
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Def mention Natalie Wood & Diana Rigg were born exactly the same day.
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am Dano59: Reggae acts used a lot of names, like Ilya Kuryakin (a fictional second banana from U.N.C.L.E.)
	🎸 11:33am Judy from Croton: Top banana to me
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Dano59: I just assumed Robert Vaughan was the titular Man.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am tim from washington: Over the past 10 years or so I've come to really love The Faces. How incredible is it that a major band released 4 solid albums without a dud in the bunch before breaking up? I love that each member had a hand in song writing and ROd Stewart shared the lead vocal limelight.
	11:34am bob dublon..from Milw: kevn kinney is a friend from Milwaukee..and the band i was in named Plasticland
	11:35am rx scabin: Just lurking and saying hello, finally.
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am Brian in UK: Dano59. I think Rufus was a titular man!!
	♥ 11:36am chresti: Dano, I know there are reggae songs about Joe Fraiser, too.
	🎸 11:37am Judy from Croton: Dano, Thanks for the new vocab word, and you're right about RV, but Ilya won my 12-yr-old heart
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Dano59: no one's mentioned Billie Holiday by Warpaint. Then again there is no Wiki tracking all of Joe's previous obsessions with this topic.
	11:39am paul: RevR63, wow. That's as good as Roger Ebert and Paul McCartney both being born on 6/18/42.
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Handy Haversack: Not played on Surface Noise, Dano59: wfmu.org...
	11:39am Glistener MW: Ah, for a moment there I was hoping those would be the “Frogs and more frogs” performing their beloved hit “Bob Brainen”
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am YETI BOB: Dano: wfmu.org... wfmu.org... wfmu.org... wfmu.org...
	11:40am formerly known as the soundguy @ the Court Tavern: Wooden Soldiers, awesome!
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am Dano59: @handy: I forgot about that lookup feature! thx
	♥ 11:40am Yes: YEEEHAW
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am YETI BOB: those are the 4 previous editions - links are behind the 'More info...' at the top of the p laylist page
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: Whoops! Played wrong song! :)
	♥ 11:42am Roberto: ABORT ABORT
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: I meant to play this song after "Lenny Bruce" but forgot!
	🎸 ♥ 11:44am tim from washington: Oh wow. I had the Washington Squares tape as a young teenager. At some point I realized that it sounded way too close to the polite "Mighty Wind" style folk music my mom listened to - hahaha.
	11:44am paul: Jack Casady is still alive. So we got that.
	♥ 11:45am iiibeat: Salvation implies preservation . . Through industrial systems. But . . First you need a first name, last name, social security number and record of loyalty.
	🎸 11:45am Judy from Croton: Dovetails nicely with my current reading jag, Jack Kerouac
	🎸 ♥ 11:46am Dano59: @YETI - the 'more info' link just brought me to a dupe tab of this playlist... but the other 4 2017-20 work just fine. Deep cuts!
	♥ 11:48am iiibeat: Where are Aesop's Fables when you don't need them?
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am Dano59: Willie 'Loco' Alexander's "Kerouac" woulda made a good one-off exception earlier. But, them's not the rules. As for "Jimmy Carter," Joe played a Bill Frisell, but the Blue Mountain track has never been on FMU in the modern era. "Jimmy Carter Says 'Yes'" is more of a 'hit' here, apparently.
	♥ 11:49am chresti: @Judy, I had a crush on Illya when I was about 7, and Lurch, of course.
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am Krys O.: Terrific show, Joe! As always.
	🎸 ♥ 11:50am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Hopefully, hopefully Mark Hurst's Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerburg and Elon Musk trilogy will be ready for next year.
	🎸 ♥ 11:50am Brian in UK: Joe, great idea, well executed. Thank you.
	11:50am paul: This is not a knock against Arthur Miller Death of a Salesman is my favorite play But Marilyn Monroe should’ve married Henry Miller And if she did she might be alive From "Marilyn" by Dan Bern
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Dano59: @Judy: you and every tween girl back then!! David M's "music" kind of sucks, though. @tim from wash: I'm with you 100% re The Faces. My first exposure was on a Rod album, but man what a (drunken) band.
	♥ 11:51am βrian: Hey, where's Jackie Onassis?
	♥ 11:51am Fuzzy: 10,000 Maniacs denied because of the word "Hey" I take it...
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am tadpoles: Thanks for all the homework you put in to this show Joe. Looking forward to next years as I'm sure you'll be collecting more. Cheers.
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am Dano59: @tim again" "A Mighty Wind" was perfect spot-on parody of that folk nazi stuff.
	11:52am Mister Dobalina: As Time Goes By.
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Handy Haversack: 10,000 Maniacs seems to be limited to three plays a year on WFMU and has already had them. We'd have to borrow against 2022! Thanks, Joe! This was super fun. Really well done, yet again. See some of you Surfactants at the Next Joe Up's place!
	♥ 11:54am βrian: Coming up on the hour, if you gangsta-lean Irene: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:54am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: Hey folks, thanks so much for listening and commenting today. Hope you enjoy your holiday if you have one and have a great week ahead!
	♥ 11:55am Fuzzy: Fascinating show today, Joe -- thanks!
	11:55am PJ: Idea for future gimmick show: songs about or that reference The Rolling Stones or the individual members. There’s probably a whole set for Keith alone.
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY As Ever DJ JoeMcG ~
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:55am PJ: Thanks for another great show, Joe
	11:56am Glistener MW: thanks for the killer show, Killer Joe!!!
	♥ 11:56am greg g: Thank you Joe and enjoy the day everyone
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am YETI BOB: Dano - it should expand out the top text , look at "four previous editions"
	11:56am paul: Great show, Joe!
	♥ 11:57am radioronan: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:58am TDK60: Thanks muchly and g'day, radio Joe.
	11:58am P-90: Thanks as always @DJ Joe McG!
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am efd: another great one, Joe!
	11:59am Glistener MW: [[chef’s kiss]]
	12:00pm Brendan: Thanks Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 12:00pm Dano59: I mispronounced "Derrida" for a few years after hearing that Scritti Politti song. It inspired this work of art: www.youtube.com...

	♥ 9:32am Joe McG: @annie: I didn't have time to go through my messages yet, annie, if you left me one. After the show...
	♥ 9:32am Joe McG: You're aces, karl. Good to see you at 7SD/Richard Thompson!
	♥ 9:33am adampsyche: ahh i didn't know what to search for. nice sets.
	9:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Guessing Robert Montgomery by Love was played years ago...
	♥ 9:35am TDK60: Joe McG, you were at that Thompson house show! Good set?
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am Brian in UK: The links are under Upcoming events at the top of this page. Guess someone else wrote it as in in the third person.
	9:36am djsheilab: That Vic Chestnutt song was beautiful. Morning Joe!
	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: @TDK60: It was lovely. Even got to carry his gear and say a few words to the man!
	🎸 ♥ 9:37am Brian in UK: Joe 'I was Richard Thompsons roadie' McGasko.
	9:37am BAMstutz: Was that Charles Darwin song a cover of The Low Anthem?
	🎸 ♥ 9:38am karlward: Joe: if you run out of songs for this show, check your email.
	9:38am PJ: “Sylvia Plath” by Peter Laughner “My Mother Looked Like Marilyn Monroe” by Tommy Keene Richard Thompson has a lot. Off the top of my head: “Don’t Sit on My Jimmy Shands” “Josef Locke” “Fergus Laing” (about a particularly despicable developer) Vic Chesnutt has even more. Off the top of my head: “Lucinda Williams” “Stevie Smith” “Isadora Duncan”
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am Handy Haversack: There's TMBG's "James K. Polk," but what with Columbus and Hudson already in the mix, a little Manifest Destiny really goes a long way on today of all days.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Wow! Cool, annie. In my haste to post the comment, I didn't fully research the situation.
	9:44am Paul in the OC: Profumo indeed & I think you just named the other gal implicated in that one
	9:45am Blix: The Fall, William Wray?
	♥ 9:46am TDK60: The Skatalites did an instrumental called Christine Keeler, if my brain recalls well.
	♥ 9:49am Joe McG: @PJ: We will likely hear "Josef Locke" later. True, Vic likes to do these tunes nearly as much as P hil Ochs. Don't forget "Arthur Murray."
	♥ 9:49am Joe McG: @karl: Ah, Karl, thanks, but too much to juggle already. I did take some listener suggestions last week, though!
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am karlward: Joe: oh man that means you're not going to play the song "Joe Belock"!
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: HI, SHEILA B! :)
	9:50am Rick A: Good Morning Joe and All, I remember the song "Black Superman" by Johnny Wakelin. That does not qualify for this show though was a big hit on the AM radio station my parents and I listened to in the 70s.
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: @karl: Is that Thighmaster?
	🎸 ♥ 9:51am Webhamster Henry: I just want to say: Rope a Dope today.
	9:52am Gerry from Miami: Joe, one of my favorite "name" songs is by the great Prefab Sprout from their album "Steve McQueen." The song "Faron Young" alludes to the country singer. Oddly, there is no song on the record called "Steve McQueen!"
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am karlward: Joe: no it's pretty new. Like from about six hours ago.
	♥ 9:53am Joe McG: Oh, bummer, I wish I'd gotten it sooner. @Gerry: I'm pretty sure I played "Faron Young" on the first or second one of these specials. I adore PFS.
	9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As the History is often spun that TheBeatles were a remedy in the USA for the malaise after JFK's assassination - in the UK the rise of TheBeatles was charged with being a distraction in the Press away from the Profumo Scandal. Allegedly Lennon hearing of this prompted him to make his 'cheap seats clap hands, others - rattle yer jewelry' @ their Royal Command Performance 4th Nov., '63 - when I was less than 24 hours old... Class & changing social mores all in there - & the shift away from taking the government & politics seriously... The Scandal was that a Brit official high up had been sleeping with the same young woman that a Russian official had.
	9:59am eric from lake hiawatha: Orions Belte, thanks
	♥ 10:00am annie: it's really fine, Ken, we are not all required to fact-check each word that comes out of our mouths.. Go, and sin no more
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am The Oscar: Mornin'! As a lifelong Masshole, I am ashamed I've never heard this Loco before!
	10:02am Bloviating Ignoramus: Johnny Carson - Beach Boys Love You
	♥ 10:03am Jeff Golick: Yo, @The Oscar. I am heeding the call of the Masshole. New one on me, too, this Loco.
	🎸 ♥ 10:04am karlward: That's right Tori you just got dissed
	10:04am DJ Guin: Tina Yothers and Louise Brooks take umbrage with this song.
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: @Oscar: Obscure B! @Guin: Louise Brooks, sigh.
	10:06am TVP: Song idea: Fleshtones - Alex Trebek (thank you Todd-o-phonic Todd for getting that song stuck in my head)
	10:08am Gerry from Miami: Joe, have you ever played "Brian Wilson" by Barenaked Ladies on one of these theme shows?
	10:08am DJ Guin: @joe -- this tune sounds as if Frank, Dean, Joey Bishop, and Sammy are planning on heisting a truckload of feminine products for Angie Dickenson
	♥ 10:09am Joe McG: @Gerry: Ah no, I'm not too fond of that band even though it fits the criteria. @TVP: Good one!
	10:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Think there's a cover of Brian Wilson in previous years ?
	♥ 10:16am Fuzzy: Good morning everyone! It's been a while since I heard the Pixies' Alec Eiffel.
	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: @Fuzzy: Forgot about that one!
	10:19am Moe: Good mix this morning, surprised to hear joe hill…
	♥ 10:19am Little Danny: Good morning Joe, everyone
	♥ 10:21am greg g: Joe, Enjoying the show immensely! & there is a certain song by The Go Betweens , that I think would fit ...
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am The Oscar: I've been catching up on my Robert Altman blind spots lately-- good stuff.
	10:21am Rick A: A song about Robert Altman, one of top five favorite filmmakers, that's a great find, Joe, and sly pairing the song with one about Shelley Duvall who was discovered by Altman in Houston before shooting Brewster McCloud.
	♥ 10:22am βrian: Windbreakers have zippers?
	♥ 10:22am Joe McG: Thanks, Greg! I think I've played "Lee Remick," but I can't remember. @Rick: That whole '70s period of Altman is pretty stellar. I recently saw "The Wedding" for the first time and laughed and laughed.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am listener Rey: Hi joe and all. Looked through the playlists from past years. There really are a lot of these!
	10:22am Toothgrinder Tom: Morning, Joe.
	10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Triggering the Emmylou Harris receptors. Very nice.
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: @Rey: I know, it became a "thing" for me. I think this is the last one!
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am DjLorraine: Frank Lloyd Wright by Simon & Garfunkel
	♥ 10:24am Joe McG: @Lorraine: Ah, no, I'm pretty strict. It has a "So Long" in there! :)
	10:24am Rick A: I saw A Wedding at an Altman retro at the IFC. Times critic A.O. Scott did a short introduction. Yeah, it's one of his criminally underrated films, really funny, with an odd cast, including Carol Burnett and Desi Arnez Jr.
	♥ 10:24am Fuzzy: Bobby Z's "Hurricane" would have worked with the start of this set, but hey, the show's only so long, ya know?
	🎸 ♥ 10:24am listener Rey: Liked that you did Cassius Clay and Ali
	♥ 10:24am TDK60: Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult?
	♥ 10:25am Joe McG: @Fuzzy: Oh, you said it! Thanks to the folks who sent me suggestions by e-mail last week, btw.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am The Oscar: I saw Harmony Korine a few years ago at the Harvard Film Archive, and it was one of the funniest Q&As I've ever heard. At one point someone asked if we were to take his characters at a surface level, and he responded "I never thought of them as surfers."
	10:25am P-90: Altman’s coming due for reexamination, reappraisal, revival imo.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25am Mike Sin: I look forward to this show each time!
	10:26am Toothgrinder Tom: This song brings back a lot of memories.
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: Why thanks, Mike, good to see you as always!
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Oscar: Ha ha!
	♥ 10:26am greg g: Ok Joe, just throwing it out . Carry on please! simply a wonderful of music, thank you.
	♥ 10:28am Joe McG: Don't throw it out, great song! :)
	🎸 ♥ 10:29am karlward: Love Alex Lahey, but I missed her when she came to the States in 2019
	♥ 10:30am Jeff Golick: Watched "Moonrise Kingdom" again last night, almost accidentally. I find it very affecting, despite all the affectations.
	♥ 10:30am Little Danny: this is great
	♥ 10:31am Joe McG: @Golick: I agree! Very affected, but charming!
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am The Oscar: Moonrise Kingdom is one of my favorites of his because it's one where he lets himself lean into pure farce more than some of his others. Looking forward to The French Dispatch!
	10:33am prudy: great song by Ass Ponys, and great name for group...
	♥ 10:33am chresti: Morning Joe and company! Checking in from the tennis booth in Griffith Park.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am The Oscar: It also has for me maybe the funniest line in any of his films: "Was he a good dog?" "Who can say?"
	♥ 10:34am βrian: For many years, when somebody would ask me, "Has anyone ever mentioned …" I would reply, "Donald Sutherland." [Conversation over.]
	♥ 10:35am Joe McG: @Brian: :) @chresti: I love when you're listening from the tennis booth!
	♥ 10:36am βrian: The Phantom Tennis Booth.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am The Oscar: I've taken to watching old Siskel & Ebert episodes on Youtube during my morning exercise. They really were the best.
	♥ 10:37am greg g: Joe, Ha! meant to write "Just throwing it out there" No keeping that one and several others by The Go Betweens in the collection. Well , thank you again and Happy Indigenous People's Day to you and everybody.
	10:37am P-90: I think Moonrise feels so good partly because those Anderson-esque affectations are so unabashed and uninhibited, by that point he felt like he could just do whatever he wanted without concern that his approach might be distancing to his audience.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if the presence of Pledging Booths in various cities would yield income for the station.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am Handy Haversack: There's our BÖC!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am Will the Sound Guy: 🔥
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am YETI BOB: the band MGMT have a song called "Brian Eno", too bad it's not a better song
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @Oscar: I loved that show! Watched it every week. Wasn't the same after Gene wasn't there. @P-90: Maybe so! But it also feels more felt to me, not just an exercise in style like "Budapest" or some of the others.
	♥ 10:40am βrian: Öysters can give one dieresis.
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @Bob: It's OK, I have it with me and might play it, not sure.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41am Handy Haversack: Only in months with an ř in them, βrian.
	♥ 10:41am Little Danny: @Ken: I am into yer pledging booth vision
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: BOC are really fun and interesting, more people should talk about them.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am Handy Haversack: Agreed, Joe!
	10:42am Vincemole: Thank you so much. I consider this to be their last masterpiece of yuk rock
	♥ 10:43am TDK60: Patti Smith stormed the stage at a BOC gig. She had to be removed. (She was pals.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:43am YETI BOB: "Our band is scientist rock / But I was E. Bloom" Minutemen, "History Lesson Pt. II"
	10:44am Glistener MW: Adding that Zombie Joan Crawford song to my Halloween mix!
	10:44am Glistener MW: This is incredible, Joe. Thank you!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:44am YETI BOB: when "Double Nickels" came out I didn't know who E. Bloom was
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am YETI BOB: also Wooden Wand made an LP called "Buck Dharma" and I didn't get the reference at first. I came late to the Cult.
	🎸 ♥ 10:46am Handy Haversack: TDK60: frequent collaborator, almost became their lead singer, and dated the keys player.
	🎸 ♥ 10:46am YETI BOB: [at one point BÖC's manager gave them all goofy names, which they eventually rejected except for Buck]
	10:46am Glistener MW: !!! I had no idea there was a new Clem Snide LP — will track it down!
	10:46am P-90: Roger did have a dark side.
	10:47am TVP: I personally hope that Roger Ebert's last words involved eviscerating a bad movie.
	♥ 10:47am brycepunk1: Really enjoying your set this morning. Thank you.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48am Ken From Hyde Park: @YB - GWAR embraced the idea of goofy names.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am YETI BOB: KFHP: Embraced and devoured!
	10:49am Glistener MW: Clem Snide’s Roger Ebert story is true, apparently — just reading an interview with Ebert’s widow now, and: “But the day before he passed away, he wrote me a note: "This is all an elaborate hoax." I asked him, "What's a hoax?" And he was talking about this world, this place. He said it was all an illusion. I thought he was just confused. But he was not confused. He wasn't visiting heaven, not the way we think of heaven. He described it as a vastness that you can't even imagine. It was a place where the past, present, and future were happening all at once.”
	10:51am Glistener MW: @TVP: HA!!! That would’ve been amazing and apropos. “Dana Carvey’s MASTER OF DISGUISE… two… thumbs……….. down…………………”
	10:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So - 'life is an elaborate hoax' from a transcendental perspective.
	♥ 10:52am TDK60: Oh yeah, DJ Kim Soirise does a swell show over there. (Global Grease on the Drummer stream.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:52am YETI BOB: I know Joe isn't in need of suggestions but I just thought of the Butthole Surfers who have both "Lou Reed" and "Gary Floyd". I'm much more into the BHS than MGMT!
	♥ 10:52am βrian: All you guys who don't suffer from Cucurbitophobia should really donate.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53am karlward: JAZZ
	10:53am Glistener MW: …..Joe, you terrified me for a moment that I’d time-travelled back to 2020.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am Handy Haversack: Wait, there are no more JAZZ fanny packs? How ... how ... I guess I just assumed one JAZZ fanny pack would contain infinitely more of them.
	🎸 ♥ 10:55am Jason from Houston: That's not how that works, Handy. LOL
	10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think Johnny Allen was stuck w/ a warehouse full ? Perhaps not available thru FMU @ present...
	10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *thot
	🎸 ♥ 10:55am Jason from Houston: Also, good morning!
	10:55am Toothgrinder Tom: If life is an elaborate hoax does that mean I don’t have to pay my water bill?
	10:55am Juli: I gots the job!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am YETI BOB: Congratulations Juli!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am The Oscar: The new Velvet Underground doc is amazing for a lot of reason, but not least because it features extensive interviews with Jonathan Richman!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Handy Haversack: Hey, way to go, Juli!
	10:56am Juli: TY@! WFMU GEAR HERE I COME
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Chazzah! Congrats, Juli! 🤑
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Juli - sincere condolences. Hope you find gainful employment not any more dehumanizing than necessary...
	10:57am Toothgrinder Tom: I like David Bowie’s ‘Andy Warhol (or really anything from ‘Hunky Dory.’
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am YETI BOB: Tom: Inside the game/simulation/illusion you have to pay the water bill, or there will be consequences. Outside the illusion, you don't have to pay it. Good luck getting to the outside!!
	10:57am Rick A: Jonathan Richman has a song called "The Velvet Underground" which does not qualify for either Joe B.'s band name show last week or this one. Richman also wrote "Walter Johnson" about the famed early pitcher.
	10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Richard Claxton Gregory October 12, 1932 – August 19, 2017
	♥ 10:58am TDK60: RIP Dick Gregory.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58am Handy Haversack: You explained to them that we need you available for comments all day, right, Juli? YB, are there more JAZZ fanny packs outside the hoax? Is that where they all went. If I reach inside mine ... is that where my hand goes?
	10:59am Toothgrinder Tom: I see, Yeti Bob. Oh well. Time to fold the laundry, I guess.
	10:59am Glistener MW: I’ve always found this Dylan track insultingly-presumptuous, in Bob assuming he knows how little of an outlaw I am.
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Right. RogerEbert has the fannypacks.
	♥ 10:59am Roberto: My college pals and I idolized Lenny Bruce.
	♥ 11:00am Roberto: I recall Dr. Demento playing this track when it was released.
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am YETI BOB: "Hoax" sounds kind of malicious, I prefer "illusion" or "veil of Maya". And I don't know where your hand goes when you insert it into the cursed JAZZ fanny-pack - I was a JA supporter but I was too afraid to get one of those!!
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Lenny Bruce died from an overdose of police.' - Phil Spector
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am The Oscar: In 8th grade I did a school project about Lenny Bruce, which culminated in me reciting "To is a Preposition, Come is a Verb" in front of my English class. I am very, very lucky I went to a progressive high school.
	♥ 11:01am Joe McG: @MW: Ha ha! @Roberto: It's one of Bob's, uh, more interesting ones.
	11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bob might consider getting out of topical Protest Music. Perhaps with electric instruments. Radical, I know...
	11:02am paul: "Phil Spector died too late." - me
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am alanSixº: g'mornin gentleman joe, i'm glad i just woke up and found out there's a song about roberto duran that i can archive up later - manos di piedra!
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: paul - no arguments.
	11:03am A Bee: I say “juicy avo-cad-o” all the time because of this version of this song. It’s my favorite
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am YETI BOB: @TheOscar: Hahaha! Did you say "blah blah blah?"
	♥ 11:04am Joe McG: @Alan6: You bet! I just watched a movie about Roberto Duran. Usual biopic beats, but DeNiro was in it.
	11:05am Toothgrinder Tom: Wow this cover is really ‘out there.’ I like it.
	♥ 11:05am Joe McG: @A Bee: Ha ha
	11:05am PJ: DB added a bunch of chords and words and arrangement junk and sadly drained all the impact from this song.
	🎸 ♥ 11:05am alanSixº: oh cool - yeah i was obsessed with boxing as a kid and that was a great era to love the sport and duran was at the top of my favorites
	11:05am Cooh John: Great show, Joe. I will have to catch up on the archive. Loved your suggestion for James Connolly, Handy. Whenever Black 47 came to town, Larry would invite a young preteen girl to the stage who would sing the whole song! 🙋‍♂️DjLorraine
	♥ 11:06am βrian: Indigenous People's Day is already on my calendar.
	11:06am paul: No mail today.
	11:06am PJ: Jonathan’s version is sarcastic and funny, and Bowie’s is humorless.
	🎸 ♥ 11:06am Jason from Houston: Speaking of assholes! LOL
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am The Oscar: @Yeti Bob I recited the whole thing! My teacher approved, but I remember watching her quietly getting up and closing the classroom door.
	11:07am Listener Robert: I think I figures out why the station pledge thermometer on the main page was stuck for a while this morning: It's because Mr. McGasko's prep for his show took him away from his listener service responsibilities, which apparently include hand cranking the tote Comptometer. Am I right?
	♥ 11:07am Joe McG: @Jason: I like this tune, although I could've chosen a different artist from this album. All songs qualify for this show!
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am Ken From Hyde Park: Around David Bowie's birthday (January 8), there should be an Androgynous Peoples' Day holiday.
	11:08am Mikula: Omg this is hilarious!
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am Handy Haversack: Wow, Cooh John, that's amazing.
	11:08am Toothgrinder Tom: @PJ you have a point, his version sounds a lot artsier. But if you have a high tolerance for that kind of thing, it’s interesting. Almost unrecognizable. A copycat cover wouldn’t be that interesting.
	11:08am PJ: Fun fact: Jeff Koons’ father was a big car dealer in the MD/DC area
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am Jason from Houston: All good and understood!
	11:09am Glistener MW: Momus!!! an old WFMU favorite I don’t think I’ve heard on here in years. 💙
	11:09am A Bee: Joe do you do Westley Willis songs or is it simply too many?
	♥ 11:09am Joe McG: @A Bee: I feel like I played one on one of the previous 4 shows, but he has SO many....
	♥ 11:09am Roberto: Needless to say, when I visited the Picasso Museum in Paris a couple of years ago, that song was playing in my head the whole time.
	11:09am A Bee: Wesley Willis
	11:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What about Dylan's John Wesley Willis.
	11:10am Kat in Chicago: Yay Scritti Politti
	11:11am Cooh John: Sure miss Black 47, Handy. I videotaped their farewell performance. I need to edit that when I retire.
	♥ 11:11am Yes: howdy
	11:11am A Bee: @Joe I get it. It’s one of his core generes he writes about. I think Opera Windfry is my favorite
	11:11am Mikula: Nice sequence, joe. Keep the pomo and crit theo songs coming…how many songs could we find…
	♥ 11:12am Joe McG: @Mikula: Ha ha, I may be out as of now!
	11:12am PJ: @ToothgrinderTom: Iggy did a good version of Pablo Picasso that was pretty faithful to the original.
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am Handy Haversack: Joe, there was one, I noticed. But only one, I think. Agreed, Cooh John!
	11:14am paul: No singles today?
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: @paul: Don't have enough name 45s anymore, used 'em all up on the previous 4 specials!
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am The Oscar: My partner just passed through the room: "Is this Ariana Grande?" "Yeah, doing a song called 'Pete Davidson.'" "Ha, gross!"
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am Will the Sound Guy: I've gotta jet i guess the winery show has to start at 1 now, not 2.... thank you Joe, good day all!!
	11:17am paul: @Joe, say it ain't so!
	♥ 11:17am Roberto: Oof Anita Bryant feh
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Oscar: Some wag on the YouTube comments board said the song was about as short as their relationship!
	11:18am Toothgrinder Tom: @PJ I’ll check it out, thanks!
	11:18am TVP: "I haven't seen anything like this since the Anita Bryant concert."
	♥ 11:19am holland oats: great anita bryant cover at the yo la summerstage show
	11:19am davefromtoronto: love bowie and that tune but not at the same time! ugh.
	11:19am V Priceless: where's the Pie Kill when you need 'em?
	♥ 11:19am Joe McG: @holland oats: Really? What did they do?
	♥ 11:20am holland oats: ira's mom came out to close the night with "in my little corner of the world" and i'm still in tears
	♥ 11:20am chresti: No Daniel Boone?
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @holland: Oh of course!
	11:21am Kat in Chicago: I never would have guessed that Leon Russell did an Anita Bryant song. Maybe y’all knew about that one, but I didn’t
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am DjLorraine: Reminds me of Leon Russell's Too Much Monkey Business
	♥ 11:22am TDK60: Good for Leon (if I heard the lyrics right). Never heard the L.R. track before. Miss his rockin.'
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am YETI BOB: Just remembered, Tortoise had a song called "Ry Cooder" on their first LP
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: @Bob: Forgot about that one! Could've done a Ry double shot.
	11:25am Glistener MW: I wonder if Bonnie Prince Billy has a song about Will Oldham? That would be fitting, considering Will Oldham was the one who interviewed BPB for his biography
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am tim from washington: Hi Joe and everybody! Excellent concept today. I'm stoked you played Dirtbombs' Tina Louise.
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Brian in UK: Is Bill singing this straight from Ry's Wikipedia entry?
	11:27am PJ: For next year’s movie star portion of the program: Charlton Heston by Stump Robert de Niro’s Waiting by Bananarama
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am YETI BOB: Double shot of Ry(e) sounds good.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am DjLorraine: Cooh John 🙋
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am The Oscar: That Bill Callahan song could have almost been Matt Farley (aka The Passionate and Objective Jokerfan)!
	♥ 11:28am Guido from Cologne: Dana Gillespie "Andy Warhol"? (which is the original version of the David Bowie composition)
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @Guido: Can't believe I haven't played that one before! Have I?
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am Handy Haversack: Drivin' N' Cryin'! Nice, Joe!
	♥ 11:30am βrian: My habib'ti just commented on how much that guy sounds like Richard Thompson.
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh gosh who knows how many of these Matt Farley has...
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am YETI BOB: I've been trying to come up with a chain, where A has a song about B, and then B has a song about C. Haven't come up with anything yet.
	🎸 11:31am Judy from Croton: Making My Monday! Thank you Joe
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am YETI BOB: I'll be impressed if anyone finds one!
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am Dano59: I have a page in my songwriting book titled "Write a Song About:" Natalie Wood is on the list. @Karlward, thx for posting the previous 4 editions.
	♥ 11:31am βrian: And extra credit if John Prine is in that loop.
	11:31am Mister Dobalina: Gonna havta clicky star fav this one.
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am tim from washington: That Faces interlude was so rad!
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: Thanks for saying howdy, Judy!
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Def mention Natalie Wood & Diana Rigg were born exactly the same day.
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am Dano59: Reggae acts used a lot of names, like Ilya Kuryakin (a fictional second banana from U.N.C.L.E.)
	🎸 11:33am Judy from Croton: Top banana to me
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Dano59: I just assumed Robert Vaughan was the titular Man.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am tim from washington: Over the past 10 years or so I've come to really love The Faces. How incredible is it that a major band released 4 solid albums without a dud in the bunch before breaking up? I love that each member had a hand in song writing and ROd Stewart shared the lead vocal limelight.
	11:34am bob dublon..from Milw: kevn kinney is a friend from Milwaukee..and the band i was in named Plasticland
	11:35am rx scabin: Just lurking and saying hello, finally.
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am Brian in UK: Dano59. I think Rufus was a titular man!!
	♥ 11:36am chresti: Dano, I know there are reggae songs about Joe Fraiser, too.
	🎸 11:37am Judy from Croton: Dano, Thanks for the new vocab word, and you're right about RV, but Ilya won my 12-yr-old heart
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Dano59: no one's mentioned Billie Holiday by Warpaint. Then again there is no Wiki tracking all of Joe's previous obsessions with this topic.
	11:39am paul: RevR63, wow. That's as good as Roger Ebert and Paul McCartney both being born on 6/18/42.
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Handy Haversack: Not played on Surface Noise, Dano59: wfmu.org...
	11:39am Glistener MW: Ah, for a moment there I was hoping those would be the “Frogs and more frogs” performing their beloved hit “Bob Brainen”
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am YETI BOB: Dano: wfmu.org... wfmu.org... wfmu.org... wfmu.org...
	11:40am formerly known as the soundguy @ the Court Tavern: Wooden Soldiers, awesome!
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am Dano59: @handy: I forgot about that lookup feature! thx
	♥ 11:40am Yes: YEEEHAW
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am YETI BOB: those are the 4 previous editions - links are behind the 'More info...' at the top of the p laylist page
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: Whoops! Played wrong song! :)
	♥ 11:42am Roberto: ABORT ABORT
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: I meant to play this song after "Lenny Bruce" but forgot!
	🎸 ♥ 11:44am tim from washington: Oh wow. I had the Washington Squares tape as a young teenager. At some point I realized that it sounded way too close to the polite "Mighty Wind" style folk music my mom listened to - hahaha.
	11:44am paul: Jack Casady is still alive. So we got that.
	♥ 11:45am iiibeat: Salvation implies preservation . . Through industrial systems. But . . First you need a first name, last name, social security number and record of loyalty.
	🎸 11:45am Judy from Croton: Dovetails nicely with my current reading jag, Jack Kerouac
	🎸 ♥ 11:46am Dano59: @YETI - the 'more info' link just brought me to a dupe tab of this playlist... but the other 4 2017-20 work just fine. Deep cuts!
	♥ 11:48am iiibeat: Where are Aesop's Fables when you don't need them?
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am Dano59: Willie 'Loco' Alexander's "Kerouac" woulda made a good one-off exception earlier. But, them's not the rules. As for "Jimmy Carter," Joe played a Bill Frisell, but the Blue Mountain track has never been on FMU in the modern era. "Jimmy Carter Says 'Yes'" is more of a 'hit' here, apparently.
	♥ 11:49am chresti: @Judy, I had a crush on Illya when I was about 7, and Lurch, of course.
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am Krys O.: Terrific show, Joe! As always.
	🎸 ♥ 11:50am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Hopefully, hopefully Mark Hurst's Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerburg and Elon Musk trilogy will be ready for next year.
	🎸 ♥ 11:50am Brian in UK: Joe, great idea, well executed. Thank you.
	11:50am paul: This is not a knock against Arthur Miller Death of a Salesman is my favorite play But Marilyn Monroe should’ve married Henry Miller And if she did she might be alive From "Marilyn" by Dan Bern
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Dano59: @Judy: you and every tween girl back then!! David M's "music" kind of sucks, though. @tim from wash: I'm with you 100% re The Faces. My first exposure was on a Rod album, but man what a (drunken) band.
	♥ 11:51am βrian: Hey, where's Jackie Onassis?
	♥ 11:51am Fuzzy: 10,000 Maniacs denied because of the word "Hey" I take it...
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am tadpoles: Thanks for all the homework you put in to this show Joe. Looking forward to next years as I'm sure you'll be collecting more. Cheers.
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am Dano59: @tim again" "A Mighty Wind" was perfect spot-on parody of that folk nazi stuff.
	11:52am Mister Dobalina: As Time Goes By.
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Handy Haversack: 10,000 Maniacs seems to be limited to three plays a year on WFMU and has already had them. We'd have to borrow against 2022! Thanks, Joe! This was super fun. Really well done, yet again. See some of you Surfactants at the Next Joe Up's place!
	♥ 11:54am βrian: Coming up on the hour, if you gangsta-lean Irene: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:54am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: Hey folks, thanks so much for listening and commenting today. Hope you enjoy your holiday if you have one and have a great week ahead!
	♥ 11:55am Fuzzy: Fascinating show today, Joe -- thanks!
	11:55am PJ: Idea for future gimmick show: songs about or that reference The Rolling Stones or the individual members. There’s probably a whole set for Keith alone.
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY As Ever DJ JoeMcG ~
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:55am PJ: Thanks for another great show, Joe
	11:56am Glistener MW: thanks for the killer show, Killer Joe!!!
	♥ 11:56am greg g: Thank you Joe and enjoy the day everyone
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am YETI BOB: Dano - it should expand out the top text , look at "four previous editions"
	11:56am paul: Great show, Joe!
	♥ 11:57am radioronan: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:58am TDK60: Thanks muchly and g'day, radio Joe.
	11:58am P-90: Thanks as always @DJ Joe McG!
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am efd: another great one, Joe!
	11:59am Glistener MW: [[chef’s kiss]]
	12:00pm Brendan: Thanks Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 12:00pm Dano59: I mispronounced "Derrida" for a few years after hearing that Scritti Politti song. It inspired this work of art: www.youtube.com...
