	11:14am Squints: DaveFromTronna, and watched THEM die. Heh.
	11:14am TimG: Random note: presently traveling through Clovis New Mexico and a private tour of Norman Petty Recording (think Buddy Holly)...frozen in time...everything as it was....what treat
	11:15am clarke: brighton got very lucky in the first half.
	11:15am Squints: He'll be walkin' her down the aisle before he knows it. It flies by. Is it dusty in here?
	11:16am ledzeppelinsucks: HAhaHA haha he was told it was cruising altitude https://www.sfgate.com/travel/article/Bay-Area-man-accused-assault-on-flight-16576071.php

	11:21am Listener Baby: She doing pretty good Clarke. Looking very forward to seeing her in December.
	11:21am clarke: (or as it is known: noho)
	11:21am TimG: Clarke..worth it....Private tour with 88 yr old Ken, a fountain of info (PS... free, he does it out of pride for his old friend Norman) I’m only here because I had to go to Texas......so couldn’t not go
	11:21am P-90: See when I try to say “darlin’” it always sounds phony
	11:22am clarke: well, i am in texas - but tis a BIIIIIG state!! it would take a day for me to get there. still worth it, i bet.
	11:22am Hughie Considine: At least he didn't say "you're flatting"
	11:22am clarke: dear
	11:23am Handy Haversack: clarke, in the forties, my dad and his GF drove from Key West to SF. He told me it took them three days to cross one guy's ranch in Texas.
	11:24am clarke: ha ha ha. they weren't havin' a few pops were they??
	11:25am Handy Haversack: I get the feeling they weren't concentrating on any kind of land speed record.
	11:25am clarke: (that would be illegal in some states)
	11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...on Halloween - use Route666...
	11:26am TimG: Oh yeah, worth the drive (6 hours for me)
	11:27am phat in Lincoln: Go see Marty Stuart! Michael is right! Saw them last week!
	11:27am clarke: someday, Tim! are they doing sessions presently??
	11:27am TimG: Just saw Marty last month .....you are in for a treat....but you knew that.
	11:28am Frank In Queens: Uh oh, clarke!
	11:28am clarke: it's the FEET!!
	11:28am TimG: No, no longer a functioning studio
	11:29am clarke: yes, Frank - will have to fly you in for a sesh!!
	11:29am clarke: on a non-small plane!!!
	11:29am Handy Haversack: Gotta go make brunch! Still listening.
	11:30am Frank In Queens: What's on the menu today, Handy?
	11:30am clarke: even though Sun Studio has been altered a little, you can still do sessions in there, which is cool.
	11:31am bobobobob: mayor of Atlanta father ...is Major Lance
	11:32am clarke: ah, i see brighton has tied it up.
	11:33am Kotzwinkled: hell yeah wasn't this Opatz record produced by Malachi Delorenzo, son of the Violent Femmes drummer Delorenzo?
	11:33am davefromtoronto: i have that same reaction to "let it be" too - i time travel back to my dad terrorizing the house in 1970.
	11:33am Frank In Queens: That's what I meant when I said, "uh-oh"!
	11:34am TimG: Clarke...yep. Cool spot. Royal Studio in Memphis still functioning....got to get random tour by Willie Mitchell (in 2009, I think)
	11:35am clarke: i thought you saw the wheels working to record at clovis, ha ha
	11:35am Kotzwinkled: Put strike buzzer in the ump's pocket but let them call balls and strikes to keep up the illusion. Some of these umps are old as hell and near blind.
	11:35am clarke: Royal has ALWAYS been a working studio - fantastic!!
	11:36am Moammar: Machines: no no no no no no. To recap: no.
	11:37am Glistener MW: Ha!, good reference to The Simpsons’ Powersauce bars, Michael 🍎 📰
	11:38am JOFF: It is CARAMEL WEEK on the GBBO this week coming. You're welcome!
	11:39am drr: bobobob: Really? cool fact.
	11:39am TimG: A lot of subjects that strike my fancy today.... a long time BB fan, going to games since 1958...I guess you could call me a traditionalist BUT I’m sick of umpires bad calls determine games. Just attended Fall League games in Scottsdale AZ where they are using robo ump now. I’m good with it .
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - BeachBoys were already TheyMightBeGiants...
	11:40am Glistener MW: Although, I personally am more-partial to Powersauce Bars’ biggest competitor, the Vita-Peach Health Log. 🍑 🪵
	11:40am Victor P: Way to endorse the killing of grandparents! You're a real humanitarian. Way to endorse the way of depriving some of their livelihood. Must have been easy for you you were probably getting paid during your whole pandemic but imagine all the business owners that suffered! Nice endorsement. And then you lie about completely false allegations at Jack shooter rally. Just give me one example of him being homophobic. Don't forget you just endorse the guy that said that the Bill of Rights was above his pay grade. You got a bunch of socialists in this country now that are putting so-called diversity ahead of married and turning everything on its head. Dr. King judged by character instead of color has been turned on its head. People want segregation again the whole Free Speech movement from the sixties is being trampled down in case you don't know what's going on with Dave Chappelle. And you just endorse all that Barbara's dictatorial left-wing s*** that the Democrat Party now stands for. Congratulations.
	11:40am drr: bobobob: Name checks out. I guess I never thought "Major Lance" was his real name.
	11:42am Kotzwinkled: Is Mike Love commenting in here lol
	11:42am clarke: the ump last night was indeed insane with his strike zone - but, equally insane to both teams.
	11:42am Moammar: Major Lance did a bit in prison. His daughter has made prison reform and reentry a big issue.
	11:43am Mike Sin: Yes to electronic pitch calling. Anything to speed up the game… Actually anything to speed up or even shorten the season… It’s only a matter of time before Game 9 of the “World” Series happens on Thanksgiving.
	11:43am phat in Lincoln: @Victor P lol
	11:44am The Great Santini: Phil Murphy is the Grand Wizard of Jerkoffs.
	11:44am drr: Hank Williams had that "cousins/dozens" rhyme first.
	11:44am Michael Shelley: HEY VICTOR - why dont you send me more photos of nearly naked women like you did before?
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The problem is that we all [too] often have socialism for the rich and rugged free enterprise capitalism for the poor.' - Martin Luther King
	11:44am phat in Lincoln: @Mike Sin commercial breaks are the biggest baseball slowdown
	11:44am jg: Yes to Doug!
	11:45am phat in Lincoln: @Michael Shelley lol
	11:45am drr: Baseball needs a way to catapult the relievers to the mound so we don't have to watch them walk out there.
	11:45am Michael Shelley: Murphy's just a politician...but he's less bad.
	11:45am phat in Lincoln: I endorse Doug Sahm
	11:46am Listener Baby: I want the piano player’s drugs
	11:46am clarke: hey dave!! you know who Major Lance's #1 all-time fan was? Pat from Mermaid Lounge!! so often i went in there and he was playing a Maj L comp
	11:47am Squints: Enforce pitch clocks and staying in the batter's box with directed energy weapons. Don't kill 'em. Just a near miss to get their attention. Or maybe just an air horn when the pitch clock winds down.
	11:47am phat in Lincoln: I'd give my eye teeth for a governor less bad like Murphy.
	11:47am Moammar: @drr Bring back the bullpen carts!
	11:47am PatrickMC: Mike Love bought the rights to use BB name,, then turned around and automated BB's strike zone? So confused.
	11:48am Glistener MW: Squints, I like the cut of your jib.
	11:48am clarke: i heard that PETA is protesting the word: bullpen. ha ha ha. true story.
	11:49am clarke: Squints' jib was cut on the South Showah!
	11:50am Squints: Jib got practically ripped from the mast on Wednesday.
	11:50am Mike Sin: @phat in Lincoln — Yes, but shortening commercial breaks will never happen because it’s a profit center. Speeding up the play on the field will give more time for commercial breaks between innings. That’s the ultimate goal — more time for the sponsors.
	11:50am Kotzwinkled: I believe I heard pitch clocks are getting more strict next season. But yeah they gotta keep batters in the box. no more adjusting each glove, grooving the dirt with feet, reciting the lord's prayer between each pitch.
	11:50am Michael Shelley: AND CUT DOWN THE SPITTING!
	11:51am Squints: Kotzwinkled, I won't say he was first cause uncaused, but I have to concede that much of the blame for all that nonsense with the hitters in traceable to Nomah, theah.
	11:51am Frank In Queens: NO DH IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
	11:51am clarke: the spitting has cut WAY down, since hardly anyone chews anymore
	11:52am Count Mikeula!: This show sucks!!!!
	11:52am myron feld: @clarke: i like their suggestion: "arm barn" (even though I think their outrage was for publicity, not to actually effect a change)
	11:53am phat in Lincoln: My governor shares articles from Epoch Times on Twitter.
	11:53am Montmaster J: I'm with Juniper on Kit Kats. Happy Halloween!
	11:53am Count Mikeula!: Though, I do agree with the Murphy endorsement!
	11:53am clarke: i agree frank - i think it should go the other way - but it is probably going to happen; therefore, this is the last two games with pitchers hitting.
	11:54am Squints: I'm fine with just about anything not candy corn or circus peanuts. Can take of leave Bit O'Honey. Can't go wrong with chocolate.
	11:54am Moammar: Ah, Frank, you’re speaking my language! No robots, no DH, pick up the pace by incessant ump and fan noodging.
	11:54am paul: Ever watch a Penn State football game? Coach Franklin is constantly spitting.
	11:54am Frank In Queens: I haven't really watched much of the WS. I don't really like either team.
	11:54am clarke: unless, somehow, a pitcher is also a slugger
	11:55am Squints: Charlie Brown goes trick or treating, gets a Fender strat, and exults, "I got ROCK!"
	11:55am Frank In Queens: I wonder if the Mets would let deGrom hit next year if the DH is made official.
	11:56am clarke: my gal is HUUUUge Astros fanatic.
	11:56am dakfinch: Love to Hate Love Club checking in. Good to see Count Mikaula! Any leftover jokes from last year?
	11:57am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: I wonder if The Mets let deGrom pitch next year. Also, you might get asked to run the team since nobody else wants to do it.
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's how Great yer Pumpkin is...
	11:57am Frank In Queens: @Todd, what a disaster this year has turned out to be. I'm not really surprised though.
	11:58am clarke: frank is already the Treasurer of the Norman Greenbaum Fan Club - too busy!
	11:58am Squints: Somewhere Bill Murray smiles.
	11:59am PatrickMC: For real Latin flavor, ought to be Quando Quandas Quandat
	11:59am clarke: also - shame that match ended in a tie.
	11:59am Bob: Getting in late and boy, I missed some action. I'm high on homemade granola!
	11:59am egould310: I prefer the Englebert Humperdinck version. Plus it’s fun to say “Humperdinck”.
	12:00pm clarke: not as fun to type, tho
	12:00pm Dano59: ah, the old days, sitting by a warm transistor radio ...
	12:01pm Glistener MW: I still call him Zinglebert Bembledack ever since that Eddie Izzard bit about him.
	12:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Kurt Baker at TV Eye on Thursday 12/2 with The Wand-ers and The Fox Sisters!
	12:01pm myron feld: @Frank & Todd: good article on the Mets/Cohen disaster -- not behind a paywall, i hope: www.nydailynews.com...
	12:01pm Dano59: what's this EC from? Hollywood High?
	12:02pm Bob: Oh man, is Steve working it out? I'm seeing EC Tuesday night in Ann Arbor. First time in twenty years. Charlie Sexton??
	12:02pm Count Mikeula!: Kurt Bake Her - great name!
	12:02pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @myron feld: The Daily News paywall is usually one penny for 6 months.
	12:03pm myron feld: @TOPT: well spent!
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: @Glistener, I'm partial to Slut Bunwalla myself.
	12:03pm paul: Loved those first 3 Elvis albums.
	12:03pm drr: hi clarke! just saw your comment about Mermaid Pat. Did not know that.
	12:03pm Dano59: Her Hair is a Mess is one of my all-time faves. And I'm really glad EC called Charlie and gave him some work. I heard Dylan wasn't paying his band during the pandemic...
	12:04pm Tim from LH: I saw Elvis in Red Bank last week, Steve was fantastic.
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Benefits from the Live edge. What a band.
	12:05pm Hoboken Jack: Hi TOPT and Mike Sin! Also on 12/2, Laura Cantrell's next States of Country show at Sid Gold's, an upsetting deviation from the last Thurs of the month residency because of course I have YLT tix that night.
	12:05pm clarke: is this The Wind from florida??
	12:06pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Tim! The new Costello single is tremendous.
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay Drummer
	12:06pm evancuts: Steve Nieve had a false positive covid test and missed first night at Capitol
	12:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Hoboken Jack: I might wear your jacket to my show today if I remember it's in my trunk.
	12:07pm Montmaster J: @myron Feld I think Cohen will bust out the wallet and exceed the luxury tax this year to overcompensate...IF he can get the players to come. The "thumbs down" really rubbed me the wrong way. Lindor has to have a great year next year. And don't forget Cano can come back...what will that be like? Oy.
	12:09pm egould310: #2? Yeah, that album title is crap.
	12:09pm Hoboken Jack: TOPT, much thanks and keep warm my friend! I hear my young Belock-played pal John Cozz said hello last night.
	12:09pm tadpoles: If memory serves Michael...Bari & The Breakaways...Yea!
	12:09pm Dano59: Dick and Dee Dee did this too! (b/w Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind ... using the orig. backing track)
	12:13pm Hoboken Jack: And when I say last Thurs of the month I of course mean last Wed of the month, as the last Thurs of each month is obviously Susquehanna Industrial Tool & Die Co at Otto's Shrunken Head.
	12:14pm Tim from LH: Hey Jack! I agree. Steve Neive still uses the same keyboard that he used in 1977, even in concert.
	12:15pm drr: clarke: yeah, PETA wants them to call it the "arm barn". I think it would be good if they just changed the name of everything. Call it sprintball. The arm-man casts the orb to the stick-wielder. Make it new.
	12:15pm Michael Shelley: Steve uses a row of Boss guitar pedals on top of his rig
	12:15pm Squints: Agreed about no bad versions of this. Still, could use some horns. And ABSOLUTELY needs some bongo feet.
	12:16pm Squints: Nice relaxed groove, though.
	12:17pm clarke: i figure one of those Boss pedals is the orange compressor. gots ta be!!
	12:17pm Squints: Ooooh! Child. I liked THAT.
	12:18pm clarke: Squints - how wuz that pub crawl???
	12:18pm Michael Shelley: I have the blue Boss compressor - whats the dif?
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @drr : www.facebook.com...
	12:19pm Squints: Legendary as always. Stayed out of the police report, which is always nice.
	12:19pm clarke: the orange one is cool for keyboards - dB's used one on the acetone, etc.
	12:20pm Bob: It sure would be nice to see Big Al sit in with the Q occasionally
	12:21pm Squints: Brewery 44 in Carver is a nice room. Spacious and some cool brews.
	12:21pm clarke: (except the one the dB's used was pre-pedal it was an in-line compressor - straight off the instrument)
	12:22pm clarke: not gonna happen, Bob.
	12:22pm Tim from LH: I had to sign in just to see the big #1 next to my name!
	12:22pm drr: RevRab: ha! Nice find.
	12:22pm Squints: Big foam finger.
	12:23pm Bob: Clarke, I know. It seems like there was good will there for awhile after the initial reunion shows. Terry even played with Al after that. None of the feelings seemed to last long.
	12:24pm Squints: See See A Little Bit Me.
	12:24pm Juke Joint Jonny: My ears started burning ten minutes ago, come to find out Hoboken Jack boosting a certain hillbilly trio in the comments! Hey, Jack, wish we were back in the saddle at Otto's monthly, but still feeling a little tentative, sadly.
	12:25pm phat in Lincoln: @Bob I didn't realize there were bad feelings among NRBQ. That bums me out
	12:25pm clarke: Frank are you still lurking, after the tied match?? MovieTime???
	12:26pm clarke: al hated terry ALL thru the 90's. common knowledge.
	12:26pm Squints: I knew there was stuff between Terry and J&J. Didn't know much about Big Al other than 30 (yow!) years ago he wanted off the road.
	12:27pm clarke: it was not a well-kept secret, that is.
	12:27pm Bob: The current NRBQ is great anyway. In some ways it's the most unpredictable and surprising version ever. Still, seeing Al turn up for an encore would be sweet. The younger guys would love it.
	12:27pm Frank In Queens: Still hanging out, clarke? What were this week's selections for you?
	12:28pm clarke: i have been watching Columbo IN ORDER - amazing!!!
	12:28pm Stuart: Hey Michael, heard you played "Blue Turns to Grey", but have you heard Cliff Richards' version? He released it as a single in 1966 and it went to # 15 in the UK. I heard it years ago on 'FMU. I'm driving so I can't send you a link, but I am sure you can find it if you wanna
	12:29pm clarke: also recommend: Old Henry (new flick out a few weeks)
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: In order? Impressive. I catch it on Sundays on MeTV. Followed by Monk. It's a nice way to unwind before heading into the workweek.
	12:29pm Bob: The Blues Brothers introduced my ten year old self to R&B!
	12:29pm Squints: spoiler, clarke: there's always one more question, if you don't mind.
	12:30pm Frank In Queens: I saw some ads for Old Henry. Looked interesting. Christina is going to see Last Night In Soho this afternoon. I'm staying behind as the Isles are playing at 1:30.
	12:30pm clarke: yes frank - the MeTv thing got me going on C. but, amazon prime has IMDB and you can watch all in order - ....
	12:31pm clarke: oh, one more thing, sir ---- the "pilot" movie that is from '68 is full of surprises!!! a clean-cut falk, etc.
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: This week was a bunch of re-watches for me: On The Waterfront, My Own Private Idaho, and Clerks. Watched the last readily available Fuller movie last week: White Dog.
	12:32pm Frank In Queens: Oh, and The Whales Of August as well.
	12:33pm clarke: the film is call Prescription: Murder - highly rec!! yes, frank - not all the fuller's are avail on prime, hmmm...
	12:33pm muddybrookrambler: Just picked up my Hellraiser goodies at my PO Box. Digging the green retro shirt!
	12:34pm Michael Shelley: THANKS FOR SUPPORTING THE STATION!
	12:34pm clarke: so: you go to amazon prime video, then to IMDB then search Columbo - voila!!
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: Nice. We'll have to check out that pilot.
	12:35pm Pedro in Arlington: Mike - Please make a No. 1 endorsement in the VA race too. Glenn Trumpkin and his GQP cohorts are a threat to democracy and great American literature.
	12:35pm dakfinch: Best line from the guy doing research on Mike Love's royalties to Brother Records to use the Beach Boys name: "Luckily, the Beach Boys are litigious"
	12:35pm phat in Lincoln: @clarke I didn't know the band well then.
	12:36pm Bob: I was in the Chicago Hard Rock Cafe some years ago, mostly to use the bathroom, and Leo Nocentelli's guitar had fallen off the wall near the door. It was on the floor with some junk and was covered in dust. It had been there some time. I had to really control my urge to leave with it. I was disgusted by the disrespect.
	12:36pm drr: Started the VU doc last night. Biggest surprise: Cale repeating the line about meeting a barefoot Sterling Morrison, the story Morrison shot down in _Up-Tight_.
	12:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Heading off to early voting booth soon and I plan on voting some bums out. Thanks for a great show!
	12:36pm clarke: they put up an okay front - but, if you saw them live you would have noticed that Al always referred to terry as Larry - ha ha ha ha.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like one guy overdubbing all the parts. Radical blend.
	12:39pm clarke: STEREO
	12:39pm Count Mikeula!: Apples with razors in them!!!!
	12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Apples In Stereo - sounding a little like Adam Schlessinger.
	12:41pm clarke: perhaps the other way 'round??
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Adam Lyons Schlesinger October 31, 1967 – April 1, 2020
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: Oh clarke, before I forget, have you seen this? www.youtube.com...
	12:43pm clarke: GOOD GOSH NO!!! WILL check it out, aftershow any complaints - dial 867-5309
	12:43pm Frank In Queens: It's just a clip, but the whole unearthed performance is coming out on DVD!
	12:43pm Doug in JC: Stereo, Apples In
	12:44pm drr: This soulful Dynamics band could not sound less like they are from Louisiana.
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: haha Doug!
	12:44pm clarke: wow WOW!!
	12:45pm gf2002: The main practical/financial reason behind that fee Mike Love pays to book shows under the name "The Beach Boys" and license that name is that a much, much smaller audience would pay to see a Mike Love show. The name The Beach Boys is the draw. The personal or even psychological reason is that Mike truly believes he IS the Beach Boys. He wouldn't agree to pay if he didn't need the marketing boost. And maybe the ego boost too.
	12:45pm clarke: XMAS is also coming, frank!!
	12:45pm PatrickMC: Fats never cut a bad record
	12:46pm clarke: truth!!
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Right ?
	12:46pm Handy Haversack: OK, brunch has been brunched. Hey, Doug!
	12:46pm drr: clrke: I understand they are changing the name of Caffin Avenue to Fats Domino Boulevard or something, though I hope they will do us the favor of actually paving the road first.
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: What'd ya have, Handy?
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: What Ken said!
	12:47pm Bob: Mike Love is certainly a dick but I'm not sure i believe he thinks he's the Beach Boys in any way.
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: Wow.
	12:47pm phat in Lincoln: Goddamn
	12:47pm Andres: !!!
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: Jalapeno Jash and huevos mexicana, Frank, by popular request.
	12:47pm listener monica: I just got into my car and this sounds perfect.
	12:47pm davefromtoronto: wow what a huge sound they had.
	12:48pm clarke: brunchy brunch brunch!! i was back this past week - streets even WORSE, if that could be possible. next time i will get in touch, dave - just a quick in and out.
	12:48pm davefromtoronto: they're so poppy! and them drums!
	12:48pm PatrickMC: And KC's voice
	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DRUM innaface
	12:48pm gf2002: I saw a photo of Steve Nieve's live setup on his Facebook and it looks like he has a Tube Screamer and maybe a Boss distortion of some kind as the orange colored pedal, now he has them on a board at his feet rather than on top. I don't think he has a pedal compressor in that chain but I could be wrong
	12:48pm Frank In Queens: Sounds good, Handy!
	12:49pm davefromtoronto: yes AND KC's voice!
	12:49pm Bob: Power pop for real
	12:49pm Frank In Queens: Haven't heard this in years. Somehow manages to sound rough and polished at the same time.
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: Total pros. Except for, you know.
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kept Nirvana @ arm's length ...cause too popular ...& the pull was scary. I think I sensed where this was going. Too huge a thing all around.
	12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...too close in age & small Northern town & blond head & so many things...
	12:51pm Frank In Queens: I had a hate/love/hate relationship with Nirvana at the time. Still not my fave band, but there's no denying that they were great.
	12:52pm Frank In Queens: The Cult Of Kurt probably had something to do with it.
	12:52pm clarke: they became great - they WERE grunge as a four-piece, but became pop as a trio.
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So much identification & @ the same time aways a tough nut to crack.
	12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *aLways
	12:53pm egould310: Lose the strings and this would be a #1 hit. It’s just too sweet with strings.
	12:53pm Bob: They were just great. Can't blame them for all the rest of that crap. Mudhoney were still the most fun grungers.
	12:53pm Joe B: people love to bash Grohl but he was a key reason they went from good to great
	12:53pm Joe B: @Bob - agree
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Perhaps (?) like Phil Collins I prefer him superglued to a drumstool.
	12:54pm clarke: well - there was little difference between mudhoney and the early nirvana (1st album era)
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: Like to like Like, the!
	12:55pm PatrickMC: Blondie lives
	12:55pm Doug in JC: Who bashes Grohl? Foo Fighters have been huge since the beginning
	12:55pm Frank In Queens: I'll never bash Dave Grohl. The same people who bitch that rock doesn't have a high enough profile anymore are the same ones who shit on its last great ambassador.
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: I do think Bleach is a great album, though. And thanks, Michael! Another great show! Have good days, everyone!
	12:55pm gf2002: Nirvana were similar to The Beatles hitting the US when they did. Time and timing was also on their side, they resonated with people looking for something new, and musically they had solid melodies that people could remember.
	12:55pm phat in Lincoln: This The Like is insanely good
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: Cheers Handy. Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.
	12:56pm clarke: i won't bash Grohl - but, he sure has forgotten how to write great songs, lately.
	12:56pm phat in Lincoln: Like, The
	12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Certainly worse people in the World. No one makes me hear FooFighters I don't wanna anyhow.
	12:56pm clarke: velma!!
	12:57pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks Michael! I should've gotten a Scooby Doo costume this year, ah well.
	12:57pm davefromtoronto: trump as an old yiddish guy!
	12:57pm Joe B: Jabberjaw!
	12:57pm Doug in JC: Clearly fake, the beginning of the sentences match the end
	12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Narrative' too high concept a word for Drumpf. But that's the Comedy I suppose...
	12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: &tc.
	12:58pm Creature Boy: Um...
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: Gonna celebrate by walking to the pet-food store, Frank. These kittens are going through it!
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Growing kitties! Keep 'em fed!
	12:58pm clarke: i hope there's more!!
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No more Rotten Pumpkins for Leader of the Free World. ~ TY As Ever DJ MS ~
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael! As always. Later everyone.
	12:59pm Kali G: Happy Halloween Michael, Great show!

	11:21am clarke: (or as it is known: noho)
	11:21am TimG: Clarke..worth it....Private tour with 88 yr old Ken, a fountain of info (PS... free, he does it out of pride for his old friend Norman) I’m only here because I had to go to Texas......so couldn’t not go
	11:21am P-90: See when I try to say “darlin’” it always sounds phony
	11:22am clarke: well, i am in texas - but tis a BIIIIIG state!! it would take a day for me to get there. still worth it, i bet.
	11:22am Hughie Considine: At least he didn't say "you're flatting"
	11:22am clarke: dear
	11:23am Handy Haversack: clarke, in the forties, my dad and his GF drove from Key West to SF. He told me it took them three days to cross one guy's ranch in Texas.
	11:24am clarke: ha ha ha. they weren't havin' a few pops were they??
	11:25am Handy Haversack: I get the feeling they weren't concentrating on any kind of land speed record.
	11:25am clarke: (that would be illegal in some states)
	11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...on Halloween - use Route666...
	11:26am TimG: Oh yeah, worth the drive (6 hours for me)
	11:27am phat in Lincoln: Go see Marty Stuart! Michael is right! Saw them last week!
	11:27am clarke: someday, Tim! are they doing sessions presently??
	11:27am TimG: Just saw Marty last month .....you are in for a treat....but you knew that.
	11:28am Frank In Queens: Uh oh, clarke!
	11:28am clarke: it's the FEET!!
	11:28am TimG: No, no longer a functioning studio
	11:29am clarke: yes, Frank - will have to fly you in for a sesh!!
	11:29am clarke: on a non-small plane!!!
	11:29am Handy Haversack: Gotta go make brunch! Still listening.
	11:30am Frank In Queens: What's on the menu today, Handy?
	11:30am clarke: even though Sun Studio has been altered a little, you can still do sessions in there, which is cool.
	11:31am bobobobob: mayor of Atlanta father ...is Major Lance
	11:32am clarke: ah, i see brighton has tied it up.
	11:33am Kotzwinkled: hell yeah wasn't this Opatz record produced by Malachi Delorenzo, son of the Violent Femmes drummer Delorenzo?
	11:33am davefromtoronto: i have that same reaction to "let it be" too - i time travel back to my dad terrorizing the house in 1970.
	11:33am Frank In Queens: That's what I meant when I said, "uh-oh"!
	11:34am TimG: Clarke...yep. Cool spot. Royal Studio in Memphis still functioning....got to get random tour by Willie Mitchell (in 2009, I think)
	11:35am clarke: i thought you saw the wheels working to record at clovis, ha ha
	11:35am Kotzwinkled: Put strike buzzer in the ump's pocket but let them call balls and strikes to keep up the illusion. Some of these umps are old as hell and near blind.
	11:35am clarke: Royal has ALWAYS been a working studio - fantastic!!
	11:36am Moammar: Machines: no no no no no no. To recap: no.
	11:37am Glistener MW: Ha!, good reference to The Simpsons’ Powersauce bars, Michael 🍎 📰
	11:38am JOFF: It is CARAMEL WEEK on the GBBO this week coming. You're welcome!
	11:39am drr: bobobob: Really? cool fact.
	11:39am TimG: A lot of subjects that strike my fancy today.... a long time BB fan, going to games since 1958...I guess you could call me a traditionalist BUT I’m sick of umpires bad calls determine games. Just attended Fall League games in Scottsdale AZ where they are using robo ump now. I’m good with it .
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - BeachBoys were already TheyMightBeGiants...
	11:40am Glistener MW: Although, I personally am more-partial to Powersauce Bars’ biggest competitor, the Vita-Peach Health Log. 🍑 🪵
	11:40am Victor P: Way to endorse the killing of grandparents! You're a real humanitarian. Way to endorse the way of depriving some of their livelihood. Must have been easy for you you were probably getting paid during your whole pandemic but imagine all the business owners that suffered! Nice endorsement. And then you lie about completely false allegations at Jack shooter rally. Just give me one example of him being homophobic. Don't forget you just endorse the guy that said that the Bill of Rights was above his pay grade. You got a bunch of socialists in this country now that are putting so-called diversity ahead of married and turning everything on its head. Dr. King judged by character instead of color has been turned on its head. People want segregation again the whole Free Speech movement from the sixties is being trampled down in case you don't know what's going on with Dave Chappelle. And you just endorse all that Barbara's dictatorial left-wing s*** that the Democrat Party now stands for. Congratulations.
	11:40am drr: bobobob: Name checks out. I guess I never thought "Major Lance" was his real name.
	11:42am Kotzwinkled: Is Mike Love commenting in here lol
	11:42am clarke: the ump last night was indeed insane with his strike zone - but, equally insane to both teams.
	11:42am Moammar: Major Lance did a bit in prison. His daughter has made prison reform and reentry a big issue.
	11:43am Mike Sin: Yes to electronic pitch calling. Anything to speed up the game… Actually anything to speed up or even shorten the season… It’s only a matter of time before Game 9 of the “World” Series happens on Thanksgiving.
	11:43am phat in Lincoln: @Victor P lol
	11:44am The Great Santini: Phil Murphy is the Grand Wizard of Jerkoffs.
	11:44am drr: Hank Williams had that "cousins/dozens" rhyme first.
	11:44am Michael Shelley: HEY VICTOR - why dont you send me more photos of nearly naked women like you did before?
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The problem is that we all [too] often have socialism for the rich and rugged free enterprise capitalism for the poor.' - Martin Luther King
	11:44am phat in Lincoln: @Mike Sin commercial breaks are the biggest baseball slowdown
	11:44am jg: Yes to Doug!
	11:45am phat in Lincoln: @Michael Shelley lol
	11:45am drr: Baseball needs a way to catapult the relievers to the mound so we don't have to watch them walk out there.
	11:45am Michael Shelley: Murphy's just a politician...but he's less bad.
	11:45am phat in Lincoln: I endorse Doug Sahm
	11:46am Listener Baby: I want the piano player’s drugs
	11:46am clarke: hey dave!! you know who Major Lance's #1 all-time fan was? Pat from Mermaid Lounge!! so often i went in there and he was playing a Maj L comp
	11:47am Squints: Enforce pitch clocks and staying in the batter's box with directed energy weapons. Don't kill 'em. Just a near miss to get their attention. Or maybe just an air horn when the pitch clock winds down.
	11:47am phat in Lincoln: I'd give my eye teeth for a governor less bad like Murphy.
	11:47am Moammar: @drr Bring back the bullpen carts!
	11:47am PatrickMC: Mike Love bought the rights to use BB name,, then turned around and automated BB's strike zone? So confused.
	11:48am Glistener MW: Squints, I like the cut of your jib.
	11:48am clarke: i heard that PETA is protesting the word: bullpen. ha ha ha. true story.
	11:49am clarke: Squints' jib was cut on the South Showah!
	11:50am Squints: Jib got practically ripped from the mast on Wednesday.
	11:50am Mike Sin: @phat in Lincoln — Yes, but shortening commercial breaks will never happen because it’s a profit center. Speeding up the play on the field will give more time for commercial breaks between innings. That’s the ultimate goal — more time for the sponsors.
	11:50am Kotzwinkled: I believe I heard pitch clocks are getting more strict next season. But yeah they gotta keep batters in the box. no more adjusting each glove, grooving the dirt with feet, reciting the lord's prayer between each pitch.
	11:50am Michael Shelley: AND CUT DOWN THE SPITTING!
	11:51am Squints: Kotzwinkled, I won't say he was first cause uncaused, but I have to concede that much of the blame for all that nonsense with the hitters in traceable to Nomah, theah.
	11:51am Frank In Queens: NO DH IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
	11:51am clarke: the spitting has cut WAY down, since hardly anyone chews anymore
	11:52am Count Mikeula!: This show sucks!!!!
	11:52am myron feld: @clarke: i like their suggestion: "arm barn" (even though I think their outrage was for publicity, not to actually effect a change)
	11:53am phat in Lincoln: My governor shares articles from Epoch Times on Twitter.
	11:53am Montmaster J: I'm with Juniper on Kit Kats. Happy Halloween!
	11:53am Count Mikeula!: Though, I do agree with the Murphy endorsement!
	11:53am clarke: i agree frank - i think it should go the other way - but it is probably going to happen; therefore, this is the last two games with pitchers hitting.
	11:54am Squints: I'm fine with just about anything not candy corn or circus peanuts. Can take of leave Bit O'Honey. Can't go wrong with chocolate.
	11:54am Moammar: Ah, Frank, you’re speaking my language! No robots, no DH, pick up the pace by incessant ump and fan noodging.
	11:54am paul: Ever watch a Penn State football game? Coach Franklin is constantly spitting.
	11:54am Frank In Queens: I haven't really watched much of the WS. I don't really like either team.
	11:54am clarke: unless, somehow, a pitcher is also a slugger
	11:55am Squints: Charlie Brown goes trick or treating, gets a Fender strat, and exults, "I got ROCK!"
	11:55am Frank In Queens: I wonder if the Mets would let deGrom hit next year if the DH is made official.
	11:56am clarke: my gal is HUUUUge Astros fanatic.
	11:56am dakfinch: Love to Hate Love Club checking in. Good to see Count Mikaula! Any leftover jokes from last year?
	11:57am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Frank In Queens: I wonder if The Mets let deGrom pitch next year. Also, you might get asked to run the team since nobody else wants to do it.
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's how Great yer Pumpkin is...
	11:57am Frank In Queens: @Todd, what a disaster this year has turned out to be. I'm not really surprised though.
	11:58am clarke: frank is already the Treasurer of the Norman Greenbaum Fan Club - too busy!
	11:58am Squints: Somewhere Bill Murray smiles.
	11:59am PatrickMC: For real Latin flavor, ought to be Quando Quandas Quandat
	11:59am clarke: also - shame that match ended in a tie.
	11:59am Bob: Getting in late and boy, I missed some action. I'm high on homemade granola!
	11:59am egould310: I prefer the Englebert Humperdinck version. Plus it’s fun to say “Humperdinck”.
	12:00pm clarke: not as fun to type, tho
	12:00pm Dano59: ah, the old days, sitting by a warm transistor radio ...
	12:01pm Glistener MW: I still call him Zinglebert Bembledack ever since that Eddie Izzard bit about him.
	12:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Kurt Baker at TV Eye on Thursday 12/2 with The Wand-ers and The Fox Sisters!
	12:01pm myron feld: @Frank & Todd: good article on the Mets/Cohen disaster -- not behind a paywall, i hope: www.nydailynews.com...
	12:01pm Dano59: what's this EC from? Hollywood High?
	12:02pm Bob: Oh man, is Steve working it out? I'm seeing EC Tuesday night in Ann Arbor. First time in twenty years. Charlie Sexton??
	12:02pm Count Mikeula!: Kurt Bake Her - great name!
	12:02pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @myron feld: The Daily News paywall is usually one penny for 6 months.
	12:03pm myron feld: @TOPT: well spent!
	12:03pm Frank In Queens: @Glistener, I'm partial to Slut Bunwalla myself.
	12:03pm paul: Loved those first 3 Elvis albums.
	12:03pm drr: hi clarke! just saw your comment about Mermaid Pat. Did not know that.
	12:03pm Dano59: Her Hair is a Mess is one of my all-time faves. And I'm really glad EC called Charlie and gave him some work. I heard Dylan wasn't paying his band during the pandemic...
	12:04pm Tim from LH: I saw Elvis in Red Bank last week, Steve was fantastic.
	12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Benefits from the Live edge. What a band.
	12:05pm Hoboken Jack: Hi TOPT and Mike Sin! Also on 12/2, Laura Cantrell's next States of Country show at Sid Gold's, an upsetting deviation from the last Thurs of the month residency because of course I have YLT tix that night.
	12:05pm clarke: is this The Wind from florida??
	12:06pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Tim! The new Costello single is tremendous.
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay Drummer
	12:06pm evancuts: Steve Nieve had a false positive covid test and missed first night at Capitol
	12:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Hoboken Jack: I might wear your jacket to my show today if I remember it's in my trunk.
	12:07pm Montmaster J: @myron Feld I think Cohen will bust out the wallet and exceed the luxury tax this year to overcompensate...IF he can get the players to come. The "thumbs down" really rubbed me the wrong way. Lindor has to have a great year next year. And don't forget Cano can come back...what will that be like? Oy.
	12:09pm egould310: #2? Yeah, that album title is crap.
	12:09pm Hoboken Jack: TOPT, much thanks and keep warm my friend! I hear my young Belock-played pal John Cozz said hello last night.
	12:09pm tadpoles: If memory serves Michael...Bari & The Breakaways...Yea!
	12:09pm Dano59: Dick and Dee Dee did this too! (b/w Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind ... using the orig. backing track)
	12:13pm Hoboken Jack: And when I say last Thurs of the month I of course mean last Wed of the month, as the last Thurs of each month is obviously Susquehanna Industrial Tool & Die Co at Otto's Shrunken Head.
	12:14pm Tim from LH: Hey Jack! I agree. Steve Neive still uses the same keyboard that he used in 1977, even in concert.
	12:15pm drr: clarke: yeah, PETA wants them to call it the "arm barn". I think it would be good if they just changed the name of everything. Call it sprintball. The arm-man casts the orb to the stick-wielder. Make it new.
	12:15pm Michael Shelley: Steve uses a row of Boss guitar pedals on top of his rig
	12:15pm Squints: Agreed about no bad versions of this. Still, could use some horns. And ABSOLUTELY needs some bongo feet.
	12:16pm Squints: Nice relaxed groove, though.
	12:17pm clarke: i figure one of those Boss pedals is the orange compressor. gots ta be!!
	12:17pm Squints: Ooooh! Child. I liked THAT.
	12:18pm clarke: Squints - how wuz that pub crawl???
	12:18pm Michael Shelley: I have the blue Boss compressor - whats the dif?
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @drr : www.facebook.com...
	12:19pm Squints: Legendary as always. Stayed out of the police report, which is always nice.
	12:19pm clarke: the orange one is cool for keyboards - dB's used one on the acetone, etc.
	12:20pm Bob: It sure would be nice to see Big Al sit in with the Q occasionally
	12:21pm Squints: Brewery 44 in Carver is a nice room. Spacious and some cool brews.
	12:21pm clarke: (except the one the dB's used was pre-pedal it was an in-line compressor - straight off the instrument)
	12:22pm clarke: not gonna happen, Bob.
	12:22pm Tim from LH: I had to sign in just to see the big #1 next to my name!
	12:22pm drr: RevRab: ha! Nice find.
	12:22pm Squints: Big foam finger.
	12:23pm Bob: Clarke, I know. It seems like there was good will there for awhile after the initial reunion shows. Terry even played with Al after that. None of the feelings seemed to last long.
	12:24pm Squints: See See A Little Bit Me.
	12:24pm Juke Joint Jonny: My ears started burning ten minutes ago, come to find out Hoboken Jack boosting a certain hillbilly trio in the comments! Hey, Jack, wish we were back in the saddle at Otto's monthly, but still feeling a little tentative, sadly.
	12:25pm phat in Lincoln: @Bob I didn't realize there were bad feelings among NRBQ. That bums me out
	12:25pm clarke: Frank are you still lurking, after the tied match?? MovieTime???
	12:26pm clarke: al hated terry ALL thru the 90's. common knowledge.
	12:26pm Squints: I knew there was stuff between Terry and J&J. Didn't know much about Big Al other than 30 (yow!) years ago he wanted off the road.
	12:27pm clarke: it was not a well-kept secret, that is.
	12:27pm Bob: The current NRBQ is great anyway. In some ways it's the most unpredictable and surprising version ever. Still, seeing Al turn up for an encore would be sweet. The younger guys would love it.
	12:27pm Frank In Queens: Still hanging out, clarke? What were this week's selections for you?
	12:28pm clarke: i have been watching Columbo IN ORDER - amazing!!!
	12:28pm Stuart: Hey Michael, heard you played "Blue Turns to Grey", but have you heard Cliff Richards' version? He released it as a single in 1966 and it went to # 15 in the UK. I heard it years ago on 'FMU. I'm driving so I can't send you a link, but I am sure you can find it if you wanna
	12:29pm clarke: also recommend: Old Henry (new flick out a few weeks)
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: In order? Impressive. I catch it on Sundays on MeTV. Followed by Monk. It's a nice way to unwind before heading into the workweek.
	12:29pm Bob: The Blues Brothers introduced my ten year old self to R&B!
	12:29pm Squints: spoiler, clarke: there's always one more question, if you don't mind.
	12:30pm Frank In Queens: I saw some ads for Old Henry. Looked interesting. Christina is going to see Last Night In Soho this afternoon. I'm staying behind as the Isles are playing at 1:30.
	12:30pm clarke: yes frank - the MeTv thing got me going on C. but, amazon prime has IMDB and you can watch all in order - ....
	12:31pm clarke: oh, one more thing, sir ---- the "pilot" movie that is from '68 is full of surprises!!! a clean-cut falk, etc.
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: This week was a bunch of re-watches for me: On The Waterfront, My Own Private Idaho, and Clerks. Watched the last readily available Fuller movie last week: White Dog.
	12:32pm Frank In Queens: Oh, and The Whales Of August as well.
	12:33pm clarke: the film is call Prescription: Murder - highly rec!! yes, frank - not all the fuller's are avail on prime, hmmm...
	12:33pm muddybrookrambler: Just picked up my Hellraiser goodies at my PO Box. Digging the green retro shirt!
	12:34pm Michael Shelley: THANKS FOR SUPPORTING THE STATION!
	12:34pm clarke: so: you go to amazon prime video, then to IMDB then search Columbo - voila!!
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: Nice. We'll have to check out that pilot.
	12:35pm Pedro in Arlington: Mike - Please make a No. 1 endorsement in the VA race too. Glenn Trumpkin and his GQP cohorts are a threat to democracy and great American literature.
	12:35pm dakfinch: Best line from the guy doing research on Mike Love's royalties to Brother Records to use the Beach Boys name: "Luckily, the Beach Boys are litigious"
	12:35pm phat in Lincoln: @clarke I didn't know the band well then.
	12:36pm Bob: I was in the Chicago Hard Rock Cafe some years ago, mostly to use the bathroom, and Leo Nocentelli's guitar had fallen off the wall near the door. It was on the floor with some junk and was covered in dust. It had been there some time. I had to really control my urge to leave with it. I was disgusted by the disrespect.
	12:36pm drr: Started the VU doc last night. Biggest surprise: Cale repeating the line about meeting a barefoot Sterling Morrison, the story Morrison shot down in _Up-Tight_.
	12:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Heading off to early voting booth soon and I plan on voting some bums out. Thanks for a great show!
	12:36pm clarke: they put up an okay front - but, if you saw them live you would have noticed that Al always referred to terry as Larry - ha ha ha ha.
	12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like one guy overdubbing all the parts. Radical blend.
	12:39pm clarke: STEREO
	12:39pm Count Mikeula!: Apples with razors in them!!!!
	12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Apples In Stereo - sounding a little like Adam Schlessinger.
	12:41pm clarke: perhaps the other way 'round??
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Adam Lyons Schlesinger October 31, 1967 – April 1, 2020
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: Oh clarke, before I forget, have you seen this? www.youtube.com...
	12:43pm clarke: GOOD GOSH NO!!! WILL check it out, aftershow any complaints - dial 867-5309
	12:43pm Frank In Queens: It's just a clip, but the whole unearthed performance is coming out on DVD!
	12:43pm Doug in JC: Stereo, Apples In
	12:44pm drr: This soulful Dynamics band could not sound less like they are from Louisiana.
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: haha Doug!
	12:44pm clarke: wow WOW!!
	12:45pm gf2002: The main practical/financial reason behind that fee Mike Love pays to book shows under the name "The Beach Boys" and license that name is that a much, much smaller audience would pay to see a Mike Love show. The name The Beach Boys is the draw. The personal or even psychological reason is that Mike truly believes he IS the Beach Boys. He wouldn't agree to pay if he didn't need the marketing boost. And maybe the ego boost too.
	12:45pm clarke: XMAS is also coming, frank!!
	12:45pm PatrickMC: Fats never cut a bad record
	12:46pm clarke: truth!!
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Right ?
	12:46pm Handy Haversack: OK, brunch has been brunched. Hey, Doug!
	12:46pm drr: clrke: I understand they are changing the name of Caffin Avenue to Fats Domino Boulevard or something, though I hope they will do us the favor of actually paving the road first.
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: What'd ya have, Handy?
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: What Ken said!
	12:47pm Bob: Mike Love is certainly a dick but I'm not sure i believe he thinks he's the Beach Boys in any way.
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: Wow.
	12:47pm phat in Lincoln: Goddamn
	12:47pm Andres: !!!
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: Jalapeno Jash and huevos mexicana, Frank, by popular request.
	12:47pm listener monica: I just got into my car and this sounds perfect.
	12:47pm davefromtoronto: wow what a huge sound they had.
	12:48pm clarke: brunchy brunch brunch!! i was back this past week - streets even WORSE, if that could be possible. next time i will get in touch, dave - just a quick in and out.
	12:48pm davefromtoronto: they're so poppy! and them drums!
	12:48pm PatrickMC: And KC's voice
	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DRUM innaface
	12:48pm gf2002: I saw a photo of Steve Nieve's live setup on his Facebook and it looks like he has a Tube Screamer and maybe a Boss distortion of some kind as the orange colored pedal, now he has them on a board at his feet rather than on top. I don't think he has a pedal compressor in that chain but I could be wrong
	12:48pm Frank In Queens: Sounds good, Handy!
	12:49pm davefromtoronto: yes AND KC's voice!
	12:49pm Bob: Power pop for real
	12:49pm Frank In Queens: Haven't heard this in years. Somehow manages to sound rough and polished at the same time.
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: Total pros. Except for, you know.
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kept Nirvana @ arm's length ...cause too popular ...& the pull was scary. I think I sensed where this was going. Too huge a thing all around.
	12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...too close in age & small Northern town & blond head & so many things...
	12:51pm Frank In Queens: I had a hate/love/hate relationship with Nirvana at the time. Still not my fave band, but there's no denying that they were great.
	12:52pm Frank In Queens: The Cult Of Kurt probably had something to do with it.
	12:52pm clarke: they became great - they WERE grunge as a four-piece, but became pop as a trio.
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So much identification & @ the same time aways a tough nut to crack.
	12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *aLways
	12:53pm egould310: Lose the strings and this would be a #1 hit. It’s just too sweet with strings.
	12:53pm Bob: They were just great. Can't blame them for all the rest of that crap. Mudhoney were still the most fun grungers.
	12:53pm Joe B: people love to bash Grohl but he was a key reason they went from good to great
	12:53pm Joe B: @Bob - agree
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Perhaps (?) like Phil Collins I prefer him superglued to a drumstool.
	12:54pm clarke: well - there was little difference between mudhoney and the early nirvana (1st album era)
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: Like to like Like, the!
	12:55pm PatrickMC: Blondie lives
	12:55pm Doug in JC: Who bashes Grohl? Foo Fighters have been huge since the beginning
	12:55pm Frank In Queens: I'll never bash Dave Grohl. The same people who bitch that rock doesn't have a high enough profile anymore are the same ones who shit on its last great ambassador.
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: I do think Bleach is a great album, though. And thanks, Michael! Another great show! Have good days, everyone!
	12:55pm gf2002: Nirvana were similar to The Beatles hitting the US when they did. Time and timing was also on their side, they resonated with people looking for something new, and musically they had solid melodies that people could remember.
	12:55pm phat in Lincoln: This The Like is insanely good
	12:56pm Frank In Queens: Cheers Handy. Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.
	12:56pm clarke: i won't bash Grohl - but, he sure has forgotten how to write great songs, lately.
	12:56pm phat in Lincoln: Like, The
	12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Certainly worse people in the World. No one makes me hear FooFighters I don't wanna anyhow.
	12:56pm clarke: velma!!
	12:57pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks Michael! I should've gotten a Scooby Doo costume this year, ah well.
	12:57pm davefromtoronto: trump as an old yiddish guy!
	12:57pm Joe B: Jabberjaw!
	12:57pm Doug in JC: Clearly fake, the beginning of the sentences match the end
	12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Narrative' too high concept a word for Drumpf. But that's the Comedy I suppose...
	12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: &tc.
	12:58pm Creature Boy: Um...
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: Gonna celebrate by walking to the pet-food store, Frank. These kittens are going through it!
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Growing kitties! Keep 'em fed!
	12:58pm clarke: i hope there's more!!
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No more Rotten Pumpkins for Leader of the Free World. ~ TY As Ever DJ MS ~
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: Great show Michael! As always. Later everyone.
	12:59pm Kali G: Happy Halloween Michael, Great show!
	4:55pm jsheehan491: hi
