	3:11pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @John L: Just in the nick of time!
	♥ 3:12pm TonyR: IS "Get Crazy" the one with a non-musical Lou Reed cameo?
	3:13pm Victrola Tom: Greetings fellow Todd-O-Phonatics!
	3:13pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @TonyR: Depends on your definition of "non-musical".
	3:13pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Sorry, that's out of my budget, sweetheart
	3:13pm Mister Dobalina: Santa Klaus Ken, might be able to make that happen.

	3:16pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @TonyR: We actually need a computer monitor. If Dave The Spazz hasn't blown out the speakers yet nobody will!
	3:16pm Mico: End credits Reed sings Little sister
	♥ 3:16pm McGroovey: Todd-O-Phonatics? I like it!
	3:16pm Alexis: Where is all the money donated ? then lol ; if no up grade in materials .
	3:18pm David Shortell: @TonyR: Lou Reed acts and sings in "Get Crazy". His non-musical dramatic role was in "One Trick Pony".
	♥ 3:18pm TonyR: Ah. Thank you @DavidS.
	♥ 3:19pm McGroovey: Aren't the Reigning Sound about due for a new album or two?
	3:20pm Joe B: they just put one out
	♥ 3:20pm mariano: Hey there, TOPT, folks! I remember catching Get Crazy on cable in the 80s, had no idea what the eff I was watching. The one bit that's always stood out is Lee Ving and Nada. That was a hell of a performance from Lee.
	3:20pm clarke: they put out one this year, McG
	3:20pm Joe B: swivs!
	3:21pm clarke: Mariano - holdin' the fort down????
	3:21pm David Shortell: As I pointed out in the last Three Chord Monte, the "Little Sister" Lou wrote and sang in "Get Crazy" is different from the "Little Sister" Lou and John Cale wrote for Nico's "Chelsea Girl" album.
	3:21pm John L: Don't know if this will come up in the interview, but Arkush directed an episode of St. Elsewhere that included a reference to The Ramones. The producers didn't want to pay for the original recording, so Arkush had to use a soundalike.
	♥ 3:22pm mariano: Hey, what's up, clarke! Yeah, at home hanging out, alternating between work and amusement, with FMU as the soundtrack. Pretty much my life these days! How are you?
	♥ 3:22pm Greg from ZONE 5: SWIVS is tearing up the airwaves!
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm medson: Swivs!!!!! The single that’s been added to a playlist a dozen different ways.
	3:23pm clarke: i'm on the mend, thnx!! starting to miss my Euclid fix, ha ha!!
	♥ 3:23pm McGroovey: @clarke Oh, and I even have it, but time passes weirdly these days. I feel like it came out a couple years ago
	3:24pm clarke: truth, McG!!
	3:24pm Joe B: I hear ya Mcgroov
	3:25pm MFlynn: Anyone know what happened to Mike Nesmith this week?
	3:26pm clarke: i don't know specifially, but mike had been fighting health issues for several years, now.
	♥ 3:27pm Fuzzy: Recent quadruple-bypass surgery for one thing.
	♥ 3:27pm McGroovey: I was watching live Monkees stuff on YouTube last night, and Nesmith was indeed looking frail in recent live concerts.
	3:27pm MFlynn: Didn’t know he was sick. What a shame.
	3:28pm clarke: this point was being discussed just this last monday on 3 Chord Monte, oddly.
	♥ 3:28pm McGroovey: @MFlynn Nesmith shuffled off this mortal coil is what happened. He was 80ish.
	3:29pm clarke: i met Mike on cape cod about 4 summers ago - he was just recovering from some surgery. a bit frail, then, but super-nice and friendly.
	3:29pm clarke: and now, I am the one who is frail from surgery, ha ha
	3:30pm MFlynn: Good point @mcgroovey! He did have a good life and some white out bucks
	3:30pm Gerry from Miami: Nesmith would have turned 79 on the 30th of this month.
	♥ 3:30pm Handy Haversack: Todd the Boss and all affiliated Groovers! Hey there!
	♥ 3:31pm mariano: Glad you're mending, clarke! Ha-ha-ha-ha-Handy! [Sung to the tune of "Fashion"]
	3:31pm clarke: passion!!
	♥ 3:32pm Handy Haversack: Mariano! Up the Runzas!
	♥ 3:32pm McGroovey: Hey, Handy, I want to go to Creek & Kills tonight, but I should probably finish my full recuperation before I venture out too much. Good news: not COVID.
	3:32pm Joe B: Nez deserved a co write with them for pleasant valley sunday. he came up with the guitar riff, which makes the song
	3:33pm clarke: that's right JoeB!!
	♥ 3:33pm Handy Haversack: That is good news, McGroove! Two of my friends have come down with it this week (widely separated, though). Sorry you're ailing. I assume you didn't go out last night? We came back here after spending way too much money in one place in Manhattan -- couldn't add another!
	3:33pm Frank In Queens: Yeah yeah!
	3:33pm clarke: but, then again, tommy tedesco would get a co-write on most of their stuff!!
	3:35pm clarke: frank - did you go home or to the pop-up??
	3:36pm Frank In Queens: @clarke pop-up?
	3:36pm clarke: some WELCOME crazy horse - don't spook the horse!
	3:36pm Joe B: what did tedesco come up with?
	3:37pm clarke: riffs to nearly all the boyce-hart tunes, etc.
	3:37pm Victrola Tom: @Handy: great day today, I get to pre-game for tonight’s poker festivities in the comfort of my own home, while listening to the rock & roll main event!!
	♥ 3:37pm McGroovey: @Handy Yeah, i stayed home. I figured you didn't show up, or Jack woulda posted a selfie with yiz.
	3:38pm clarke: aren't you doing a pop-up show, tonight, Frank??
	3:38pm Don F.: Sounds like 'Last Train to C'ville' I'm taking the TOT bait.
	3:38pm pottybear: Pound them skins Ralph!
	♥ 3:38pm Handy Haversack: You're living the dream, Victrola Tom! Sorry I haven't been able to make it to poker again yet -- rock and roll keeps coming up!
	3:39pm Joe B: I doubt it. Tedesco didn't play on the Boyce and Hart produced stuff
	3:39pm Frank In Queens: @clarke oh! You mean “Drop In”! Sorry, I wasn’t sure what you meant. No i went home.
	3:40pm sufferwords: rad cover of Cale
	3:40pm clarke: I'm Not Your Stepping Stone?? really??
	3:41pm clarke: Valleri - really?
	3:41pm Joe B: Tedesco is not on either of those songs
	3:42pm clarke: Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day?
	3:42pm onthetrain: I am really digging this cover Todd-o-phonic!
	3:42pm clarke: so who plays the "spanish" guitar part on Valleri , then??
	3:42pm Joe B: no tedesco, sorry
	3:43pm Joe B: Louie Shelton, who also played on clarksville
	3:43pm Frank In Queens: Mike didn’t play lead on Valerie? Wow, he looked so convincing on the TV show. 😉
	♥ 3:43pm McGroovey: More people should cover John Cale songs. It's easier to bash out mindless Lou Reed covers,though. Not that there's anything wrong with Lou Reed songs, but everyone already knows them and can easily bash out a few without much thought. Cale songs actually require contemplation.
	3:43pm Frank In Queens: Sorry, wrong spelling…
	3:44pm Joe B: Monkees breakdown usually is this - Boyce & Hart productions - they used their own band. Jeff Barry produced - new York; Chip Douglas produced - the monkees with Chip and/or his own pals; Nesmith-produced - Wrecking Crew
	♥ 3:45pm Hoboken Jack: Hello TOPT, Joe, Frank, McGroove, Handy, gray day Bagpipe, MFlynn, Medson Man, Greg, Mariano, Cheryl, HP Ken, all!!
	3:46pm clarke: i don't have the sandoval book, yet, obviously.
	3:46pm Frank In Queens: Hi Jack!
	3:46pm Victrola Tom: @Handy no worries, rock & roll trumps all! Next match 1/8!
	♥ 3:46pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Happy day to you!
	🎸 ♥ 3:46pm medson: Hey Jack.
	3:47pm Frank In Queens: Joe, that’s a nice breakdown on the Monkees stuff. Thanks for that.
	3:47pm elkeno: Hello There :/ :)
	🎸 ♥ 3:47pm medson: @Frank you just got the TOPT bump for 6pm.
	3:47pm MFlynn: How’s it going Jack!?!
	3:47pm Victrola Tom: Wow, classic-era John Prine!! Go TOPT!
	3:47pm Joe B: but clarke -to your original point, yes, Shelton came up with the Clarksville riff, not boyce OR hart, and that obviously IS the song
	♥ 3:48pm McGroovey: I just watching a documentary about the Monkees on YouTube (I forget the title). But someone (maybe Davy?) said that they'd been assigned the wrong instruments. Davy actually knew how to pay drums, but he was too short to be hidden behind a fun kit. Peter played guitar better than Mike, and Mike posted bass better than Peter. And Mickey could sing, but couldn't actually play anything. But I guess they eventually learned their fake roles.
	3:48pm MFlynn: Definitely a Prine masterpiece.
	3:49pm Frank Zaatar: One of John Prine's greatest spngs ever. Beautifully produced, too.
	3:49pm clarke: BUT - i KNOW tedesco played on the nez solo record The Wichita Train Whistle Sings - because i have that near me
	3:49pm Joe B: tomorrow's gonna be ... and stepping stone predate the monkees,
	3:50pm Frank Zaatar: songs
	3:50pm Frank In Queens: Hey medson. One knows no honor as the Todd-o-phonic bump! ☝️
	3:50pm Victrola Tom: I’m a big fan of Diamonds in the Rough, but this is a great record also.
	3:50pm Joe B: Tork is actually on Sweet Young Thing. Nez always made sure to get him in on his productions (like the great harpsichord break on the girl i knew somewhere)
	3:51pm Joey: Fantastic show Todd!!!
	♥ 3:51pm McGroovey: Too many typos in my above long post...
	3:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Amen on "The Girl I Knew Somewhere", Joe. Thanks @Joey!
	3:52pm Frank In Queens: *no honor as high!
	3:53pm Ambassador Feelgood: I just snagged a copy of the Get Crazy soundtrack LP from one of TOPT's record dealer pals in Albany a few months ago!
	3:53pm Frank Zaatar: @McGroovey: I noticed the tambourine was pretty heavy on those tracks Todd played earlier. Obviously they were trying to get their money's worth put of Davy.
	♥ 3:53pm Brian in New Orleans: Did you notice how "Let it Be".....fits into "Let it Bleed?'...just sayin...
	3:54pm Mico: Stones. Never gets old
	🎸 ♥ 3:54pm DonJuanTijuana: Cookin set TOPT!!! Keep it Crankin!!
	♥ 3:54pm McGroovey: I went through an all-Prine-all-the:time phase maybe 5 years ago, but I had to give it up before I overdosed and killed myself. Same thing happened with sixties Gordon Lightfoot records about 15 years ago.
	♥ 3:54pm G: But could he beat the Pinball Wizard?
	3:55pm Victrola Tom: @TOPT it’s no coincidence that the Pinball Wizards name is Tommy!
	♥ 3:55pm Handy Haversack: Kings definitely pull rank over wizards!
	3:55pm clarke: also, i am pretty sure glen campbell played the lead on Mary, Mary??
	3:55pm Victrola Tom: Great karma boost for tonight’s poker game, thanks TOPT!
	3:56pm Joe B: not sure clarke. he's listed but so is James Burton! a question for Andrew S.!
	3:57pm Joe B: I only saw the Stones once and they did You Got the Silver! Guessing that is not a regular occurrence
	3:57pm Victrola Tom: @Mcgroovey LOL TOPT cringes whenever he sees my Gordie collection!
	3:59pm clarke: i saw The Stones 8 times and no silver in site
	3:59pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: They did that and lots of other "Let It Bleed" tunes at Met Life Stadium in 2019.
	4:00pm Mr C: Todd, did Freakwater ever play Maxwell's?
	4:01pm MFlynn: @mcgroovey, saw a fairly recent performance of Prine on YouTube with Lightfoot in the audience and singing along. Touching !
	4:04pm Mico: First stones show was at the rock 50th anniversary show. Got to see mick Taylor do midnight rambler. I’m good.
	4:04pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Mr C: Yes, Freakwater played Maxwell's a time or two.
	4:04pm Spinning Giant: Greetings, @TOPT, All!!!
	4:04pm clarke: not to mention janet beveridge-bean playing maxwell's with 11th Dream Day a bunch.
	4:06pm Richard Whig: swoon
	4:06pm morphe': I remember having s startled guffaw when I saw that the ugly kid from Gentle Ben was the Student President....
	4:08pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Hey @Spinning Giant!
	♥ 4:09pm McGroovey: I feel like a saw Freakwater live once in the nineties. I guess it would have been either at Maxwell's, or someplace like Brownies in the city
	4:09pm Joe B: McGroov - they played the Mercury Lounge at least twice in that period
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm medson: Love this version.
	♥ 4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey ! ...Wind is right for enuff WiFis from the gym across the street to listen & even Comment ! ...Won't last but glad to get some TopT Saturday goodtimes...
	4:12pm clarke: rev!~
	4:12pm Ambassador Feelgood: @JoeB YGTS turns up quite a bit on Stones set lists in recent years. Keith often chooses it for his show segment aka when Mick takes a break.
	4:12pm mico: Oh yessss hey Ho
	♥ 4:13pm Handy Haversack: Rev Rab! Glad to see you! I sent you a relevant e-mail, if you have a chance to check that.
	♥ 4:13pm JB from NP: Hey ho, Todd O! It's my birthday, any chance of playing the Misfits? Whatever u pick is fine with me.
	4:13pm Victrola Tom: The Rock & Roll Blitzkrieg never ends with TOPT at the controls!
	4:13pm David Shortell: I only saw the Stones once and they didn't play "Satisfaction"!
	♥ 4:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey Handy ! ...e-mails is also interwebz dependent - but I'll see it sometime...
	♥ 4:15pm Handy Haversack: Hopefully useful info in it, RRN63!
	♥ 4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lucky to have seen Ramones a couple times. The Cartoon come to full powered life. ...You know what they played.
	4:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @JB from NP: Happy birthday! I don't think I'll be able to swing The Misfits for you today but maybe Rob Weisberg can honor that request!
	4:16pm clarke: ha hah aha ha ha ha
	♥ 4:16pm Handy Haversack: Was thinking yesterday about last year's Xmas Carol radio play and how we learned that in heaven there's a Ramones record-release party every night.
	4:16pm clarke: todd - we goin' to superbowl??? (packers, i mean)
	♥ 4:16pm McGroovey: @Joe B Yeah, I did go to plenty of things at the Mercury Lounge also. Maxwells was more of a hike for me. I loved in Brooklyn and the upper west side. I'd only go to Maxwells if I couldn't see the same band in NYC somewhere.
	4:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @David Shortell: I would love to see The Stones not play "Satisfaction". They even that sounded good and somehow fresh at the 2019 gig.
	♥ 4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Ramones in fact kinda my 1st show ever. Small club in Manchester, NewHampshuh ...they didn't wanna let me in cause I had holes in my jeans. For TheRamones.
	4:18pm Ambassador Feelgood: D-M-U-B
	♥ 4:18pm JB from NP: No problem Todd. This Ramones block makes me very happy.
	♥ 4:18pm Handy Haversack: Ha! RRN63. Typing from under a kitten pile. Trkcky.
	4:19pm clarke: u have the skillz handy!!
	4:19pm ?: Thank you Todd! Just what I needed!!!

	♥ 4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DumbGenius
	4:20pm Frank In Queens: Beer run: ✔️

	4:21pm clarke: remember: you are drinking for both you and me!
	4:21pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @McGroovey: Frank is doing the Drop-In Show on WFMU's Rock and Soul Radio Stream at 6 p.m. right after the conclusion of my show!

	♥ 4:24pm efd: heya clarke!
	4:24pm Listener John from NJ: Thank God you're on the air today! I need a dose of the Todd-O-Phonic show.
	4:25pm clarke: man, i missed yer show this week - but will archive!! no jive!
	♥ 4:25pm efd: Thanks clarke! You always hit the mark!
	4:27pm Listener Robert: Maybe Irwin or Bill Kelly would know if that program was on WFMU. Even when I started listening to WFMU in 1980, I don't think I listened on Tuesday nights.
	4:30pm Listener Robert: What are the chances that program would've survived until 1980 anyway?
	♥ 4:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...people of this era be like 'I saw Hendrix' - I'm like ...can I touch you ?? TheWho in the 60s - TimBuckley ...might as well be Moses in the Old Testament to me...
	♥ 4:30pm efd: Best I can tell from some quick internet searching is that Jerry White was on a station called WJRZ out of Newark and/or Hackensack.
	4:31pm clarke: internet ninja~!
	♥ 4:31pm Handy Haversack: NYU the Behemoth.
	♥ 4:32pm efd: I wasn't in the film school, but Haig was still at NYU when I was there in the late '70s/early '80s, and no last name was needed when my film school friends mentioned his name.
	4:33pm Frank In Queens: Not a problem Clarke!
	4:33pm clarke: bueno!
	4:34pm clarke: hey, believe me i drank enough for both of us before you were 'of age'
	4:35pm elkeno: I love Roger Corman's whole role in developing young talent!
	4:36pm John L: Jonathan Kaplan also directed the great Over The Edge, which had a bunch of Ramones and Cheap Trick on the soundtrack.
	4:37pm Listener Robert: I see WJRZ became WWDJ. My sister listened to WWDJ all the time.
	4:38pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @John L: That is a great movie.
	4:40pm clarke: quite the enclave
	4:41pm Joey: Corman's The Undead was filmed in a vacant supermarket! When i was at film school, we actually got into the long-abandoned Fillmore East to film sequences for a thesis we did. When NYC was the ultimate backlot huh! My Dad Sonny Vento was in On The Waterfront, The Wrong Man and The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms just working as a NYC Longshoreman, so lots of stories i had growing up. So great to hear Allan tell his history...fabulous show!!
	♥ 4:41pm Handy Haversack: Stream cutting out for anyone else
	♥ 4:42pm Handy Haversack: ^?
	4:42pm elkeno: stream good for me

	4:42pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Joey! That's awesome about your Dad!
	🎸 ♥ 4:43pm medson: I love how he remembers all the details.
	4:43pm Joey: Loving this show Todd!! Thanks!
	4:44pm Joe B: no argument here
	4:45pm mico: Yep no argument
	4:45pm Dany_Laj: Rocket To Russia is def a top 10.
	4:45pm Old Dave: Where else can I get this kinda insight? Thanks so much.
	♥ 4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Beast from 20,000 Fathoms !!!
	♥ 4:46pm Gaylord Fields: Sorry to disagree, Allan, but I agree with you.
	♥ 4:47pm Will the Sound Guy: vlc aac stream is rock solid for me
	4:47pm Joey: Rev Rabbit...Hey!! Yes, he has a 5 second cameo in the NYC Fulton Fish market scenes! He got "paid" a 12 year old bottle of J&B Scotch for that!! All the best!! Joey!
	♥ 4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: '2nd verse same / Dif from 1st' - of course a quote from 'I'm Henry the 8th'...
	4:48pm Victrola Tom: What a great interview! This guy gives you a snapshot of NYC in the 70’s like he’s got a photographic memory!
	4:49pm Frank Zaatar: Hey, that's the plot of Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter!
	4:49pm Victrola Tom: @TOPT: The astute commenter!
	♥ 4:49pm McGroovey: Next time you talk to Todd, be sure to slip "That's a very astute comment, sir!" into the conversation!
	4:50pm elkeno: Riff Randel...- Rock 'n Roller
	4:51pm Dany_Laj: That was great!! Super rad interview.
	4:51pm clarke: i'm sure there's MORE....
	4:51pm Joey: Everything in NYC was better before cellphones turned everyone into zombies! Wish we could have that time again!
	4:52pm Matt Clarke: Top track!!! Hi Todd!
	4:52pm Joe B: I wonder if he would have called you 'sir' if it wasn't academy award season
	♥ 4:53pm Hackensack Slim: Another Top-Notch interview. It must be Saturday afternoon with Todd-O-Phonic Todd.
	4:53pm Frank Zaatar: This is great, but is Allan Arkush going to tslk about his groundbreaking research on Moses Mendelssohn?
	4:53pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Matt Clarke: Are you going to be able to watch "How To Make A Monster" tonight?
	4:54pm Creature Boy: This is such a great interview. Inspiring! Luv the old guy eMail -ding!- he mentions David Blue as part of his early MacDougall St type of folk scene background who put out this great album of Blonde on Blonde style "folk rock" or whatever
	4:54pm clarke: IS THAT what Svenghoolie has on tap??
	4:54pm Gerry from Miami: P.J. Soles is now 71 and was once married to Dennis Quaid for 5 years.
	4:54pm Creature Boy: Total Bob Dylan rip off stuff
	♥ 4:55pm Greg from ZONE 5: Jonathan Demme directed Caged Heat?? You learn something new every day, and today I learned that.
	4:56pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Greg from ZONE 5: Yeah, he did a few Corman films early in his career including "Crazy Mama"...which had "I've Had It" by The Bell Notes on the soundtrack!
	5:00pm Stevel: Heavy Metal Kids or Tough Darts:Who came first?
	5:00pm John L: There was a Demme film festival, in 2014, not far from where Demme lived. He introduced "Something Wild" and the night concluded with a set by The Feelies. Demme was beaming through the whole set; he sure loved them.
	5:02pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @John L: When Maxwell's closed I did a call-in show on WNYC to discuss it. Demme was the first caller!
	♥ 5:02pm Handy Haversack: SPOX
	5:02pm Creature Boy: Oh THiS " Get Crazy "
	5:02pm Mico: Yes gonna see sparks next year

	5:04pm Creature Boy: Seeing Sparks at Disney Hall ( amazing venue) in January
	5:04pm Creature Boy: This*movie
	♥ 5:05pm mariano: Nada Nada Nada!
	5:05pm clarke: was Nada a fictional band for film?? or real??
	♥ 5:06pm Handy Haversack: "Hail nada, full of nada ..."
	5:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @clarke: Nada was a fictional band meant to represent the entire oeuvre of girl groups across the years.
	♥ 5:07pm mariano: For the movie, clarke. But they had Lee Ving on vocals, with the name Pig Pen. There's a great clip of YT of the song he does with them, he absolutely pulled out all the stops there, complete madman on stage.
	5:07pm clarke: danke!
	♥ 5:07pm mariano: *...on YT...
	5:08pm Stevel: Nada is a new world to me. One album?

	5:11pm Creature Boy: Did Sparks appear in Get Crazy or does this question represent a spoiler type o' thing?
	5:12pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Creature Boy: Sparks do not appear in the movie. But almost everyone else you could name does!
	♥ 5:12pm mariano: clarke: Matter of fact, a cousin of mine (he owns Cane & Table and Val's) brought a sack of Dauphin Island oysters to Thanksgiving at his brother's house. $80 for a sack of 100. They charge $36/dozen for them at St Roch Market! So good though.
	5:13pm clarke: wow!! that is a GREAT story!!! sluuuurrrrrp!!!
	5:13pm Greg: This say it all https://medium.com/cuepoint/a-family-in-peril-lou-reed-s-sister-sets-the-record-straight-about-his-childhood-20e8399f84a3
	5:14pm Daybreak & the Old Week is OVER!: Slightly stuck out in the world shopping, Fortunately only occasionally playing the stereotypical husband role! TOPT is getting me through!
	5:14pm Will: Question for me is, how does one get to see GET CRAZY? Seems to be unavailable from all the usual sources.
	5:14pm clarke: there used to be this great restaurant on Dauphin Island - i wanna say Skipper's Boat - it was destroyed in one of the (many) hurricanes, tho.
	5:15pm ?: you tube
	5:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Will: It just came out on DVD finally!
	5:16pm Listener Robert: I always loved my baby sister too. Daddy asked me when he was leaving for the hospital with Mother whether I wanted a baby brother, a baby sister, or a baby dog. I thought about it and chose baby sister -- and got it! I never understod the sentiment of saying, "A tie is like kissing your sister." I always LIKED kissing my sister.
	♥ 5:16pm Handy Haversack: More Oscar e-mail for Allan!
	5:17pm clarke: or an angel gets their wings
	5:18pm Creature Boy: I saw Rock and Roll High School at Chicago's great revival/art house The Parkway in 80 or 81 must've already reached cult status . It would've been a double bill but not a midnight show
	5:21pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I saw Rock'n'Roll High School the weekend it came out in Somerville, NJ alongside Vibraphonic Vinnie and Dave Billig. It was a Friday night...it's notable in that it was the first time I ever went to Mr. Bee's in the Somerville Circle.
	5:22pm stuntz: I'm not crazy, but I think one of my old smoke detectors has been texting me.
	5:23pm stuntz's smoke detector: NOT TRUE!!
	5:24pm Creature Boy: I AM crazy and could hear the smoke detectors during the 1st part of this interview
	♥ 5:26pm efd: literally laughing out loud at Lou Rawls vs. Lou Reed. (delayed posting so as not to spoil the moment for stream listeners)
	5:26pm clarke: and for the smoke detectors
	5:28pm Stevel: Great stories. He’s something of a rock and roll hero!
	5:29pm clarke: The Bells and Blue Mask - good albums
	🎸 ♥ 5:30pm Frank In Queens: Get the phone Allan!
	♥ 5:30pm mariano: I first saw RNRHS on satellite TV in Honduras in 1980 with an aunt of mine who's pretty prim and devoutly Catholic. "This is so stupid!" she kept saying, till that part where the paper airplane flies into the guy's ear, then she laughed and settled into it. She sat through the whole thing, gotta hand it to her.
	5:30pm Stevel: Telephone ringing! I’m dying!
	5:30pm Creature Boy: The Smoke Detectors first album was ok bit as is often the the band really layed an egg on their sophomore release
	🎸 ♥ 5:31pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, I like The Blue Mask a lot but I don't really care for The Bells.
	5:31pm Creature Boy: But *!
	5:32pm Creature Boy: As is often the case*! Another gag blown cuzza typos!
	5:32pm clarke: what about Berlin?? love that one.
	🎸 ♥ 5:33pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, oh yes. Berlin is great. I like his 70s output for the most part.
	♥ 5:34pm Handy Haversack: ToPT: Knows his shit!
	♥ 5:34pm Will the Sound Guy: such an awesome talk
	5:37pm Joe B: I love how fired up Allan gets as if this stuff happened yesterday
	5:38pm Creature Boy: The Smoke Detectors almost broke through with their cover version of the Count5's Carburetor Dung title track
	5:38pm clarke: but then their batteries ran low
	5:39pm Creature Boy: Eggsackly clarke
	♥ 5:39pm efd: the old Toronto-for-Hoboken trick!
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm medson: What a memory on that guy. Loved this
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Frank In Queens: Fun interview Todd!
	♥ 5:40pm Will the Sound Guy: Totally rad
	♥ 5:40pm efd: That interview was so great! Like listing to two old friends catching up. Thank you, Todd!
	♥ 5:40pm Handy Haversack: Damn, what a great conversation. So cool and interesting. That was fantastic. Thanks, Todd!
	5:40pm Joe B: so great Todd, thanks!
	5:40pm Stevel: Excellent interview! Thanks TOPT!
	5:40pm clarke: noice!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:41pm Frank In Queens: I know Allan is plugging "Get Crazy", but the Shout Factory blu-ray of Rock and Roll High School is fabulous! Great looking disc and chocked full of extras.
	5:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: You're welcome everyone....so glad you enjoyed it! Allan is a super cool guy as you could probably tell.
	♥ 5:41pm Brian D: Great interview as always. Amazing character! Thank you, Todd.
	♥ 5:41pm royvis: Wow, amazing interview, great radio!
	5:42pm clarke: is this faulkner singing lead (or robin zander's son)??
	🎸 ♥ 5:42pm listener 126464: Thanks Todd.
	5:43pm tim: check out the Gilbert Gottfried interview with Allen. Lots of great stories of his life
	♥ 5:43pm Franco Twinkie: This was the greatest Todd. More interviews NOT on the phone.
	5:44pm Susan: Interesting interview Todd!!
	5:44pm mico: That was fun. Thanks for all the work to bring that to us Todd.
	🎸 ♥ 5:44pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Todd, you've been killing it with interviews this week. First it was the VU @ Summit HS and now Allan Arkush. Oh and Young Guv is wonderful power pop.
	♥ 5:44pm McGroovey: Interesting interview, Todd. Hoodoo Gurus: I hated whatever that hit record of theirs was back in the eighties, so I never paid attention to them, but every once in a while I hear a song I like, and it turns out it's by the Hoodoo Gurus. I guess I should pay attention to the songs that aren't that song.
	5:46pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Jeff...glad you tuned in Thursday night, that was fun!
	5:46pm John L: That was a great interview. When Monty Hall reopens you should have a screening of Get Crazy, with Arkush there for a Q & A. Well, a guy can dream...
	♥ 5:46pm Franco Twinkie: I loved Like Wow, Wipeout. Was that the hated song?
	5:47pm clarke: i bet McG is referring to Bittersweet which is not only GREAT but stands up over time as i heard it just the other day.
	5:52pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Nice interview Todd ! Brought back a lot memories of awesome Rock shows at the Fillmore East. @ Allan: yup, those were the days, man!
	5:55pm clarke: a fine howdy-doo mr. o'phonic. geaux packers!! adios.
	♥ 5:55pm Will the Sound Guy: Todd-o-Phonic Todd, seriously solid show today!!! Thank you for all that you do man!!!
	♥ 5:56pm McGroovey: I was just looking around the interwebs figuring out which song I hated. It was "I Want You Back". It was 1984, and that was a difficult love-year for me. And I was mostly listening to stuff like Black Flag and PiL and Joy Division.
	♥ 5:56pm Handy Haversack: BÖC!!!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm Frank In Queens: This has been great, Todd. And thank you so much for the plug! See yas soon!
	5:56pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: You're welcome Will!
	5:56pm clarke: I Want You Back is fantastic!! stands up, too!!
	5:57pm clarke: sooner than soon, frank!
	♥ 5:57pm radioronan: Great show - Thanks Todd!
	♥ 5:57pm JG: Great show Todd. Near the sounds all day but not the computer.Found out my first Stones album same as Todd's,Let it Bleed. Favorite Lou record, same as Alan Arkesh, Blue Mask. Enjoy rest of weekend everybody!
	♥ 5:57pm Handy Haversack: Knock 'em dead, Frank! I think we can listen for a bit before we head to the show, even! Great show, Todd! Many thanks! Later on, all.
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm Frank In Queens: I Want You Back is friggin' classic! Revisit McGroovey!
	5:57pm MFlynn: Thanks Todd! Another great one! Catch you next week.
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm Frank In Queens: @handy, thanks! Wish Kate a good show for me.
	♥ 5:59pm Handy Haversack: If anyone's looking for a good gig to go see, come to Wonderville in Bushwick after Frank's show on the Rock stream!
	♥ 5:59pm McGroovey: I was just listening to I Want You Back to make sure it was the right (wrong) song, and I still hate it, but I should like it, because I love stuff like that. But, negative associations, i guess.
	♥ 5:59pm McGroovey: @Handy wish I could!
	5:59pm clarke: re-Re-Visit!!
	♥ 6:00pm Handy Haversack: Me, too, McGroovey!
	6:00pm Victrola Tom: What a show! With a Soft White Underbelly sighting!

	🎸 ♥ 3:11pm The Spoony: @Joe B: I thought Studio A was a tight ship!
	3:11pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @John L: Just in the nick of time!
	♥ 3:12pm TonyR: IS "Get Crazy" the one with a non-musical Lou Reed cameo?
	3:13pm Victrola Tom: Greetings fellow Todd-O-Phonatics!
	3:13pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @TonyR: Depends on your definition of "non-musical".
	3:13pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Sorry, that's out of my budget, sweetheart
	3:13pm Mister Dobalina: Santa Klaus Ken, might be able to make that happen.
	♥ 3:14pm TonyR: mom!!!!! Todd's blowing out the monitors AGAIIN!!
	♥ 3:14pm Corey: Hello TOPT and listeners!
	3:14pm Sissophonic Cheryl: But sounding great!! Looking forward to the interview!
	♥ 3:15pm TonyR: He has lines (of dialogue)?
	3:15pm Victrola Tom: Way to start a show using the Blitzkrieg strategy TOPT!
	3:15pm clarke: nice set! i feel like i done been sprayed with a scattergun. pow pow pow
	3:16pm MFlynn: We are all Todd-O-Phonatics!!! Howdy everyone!! Happy Rock n Roll Saturday!
	3:16pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @TonyR: We actually need a computer monitor. If Dave The Spazz hasn't blown out the speakers yet nobody will!
	3:16pm Mico: End credits Reed sings Little sister
	♥ 3:16pm McGroovey: Todd-O-Phonatics? I like it!
	3:16pm Alexis: Where is all the money donated ? then lol ; if no up grade in materials .
	3:18pm David Shortell: @TonyR: Lou Reed acts and sings in "Get Crazy". His non-musical dramatic role was in "One Trick Pony".
	♥ 3:18pm TonyR: Ah. Thank you @DavidS.
	♥ 3:19pm McGroovey: Aren't the Reigning Sound about due for a new album or two?
	3:20pm Joe B: they just put one out
	♥ 3:20pm mariano: Hey there, TOPT, folks! I remember catching Get Crazy on cable in the 80s, had no idea what the eff I was watching. The one bit that's always stood out is Lee Ving and Nada. That was a hell of a performance from Lee.
	3:20pm clarke: they put out one this year, McG
	3:20pm Joe B: swivs!
	3:21pm clarke: Mariano - holdin' the fort down????
	3:21pm David Shortell: As I pointed out in the last Three Chord Monte, the "Little Sister" Lou wrote and sang in "Get Crazy" is different from the "Little Sister" Lou and John Cale wrote for Nico's "Chelsea Girl" album.
	3:21pm John L: Don't know if this will come up in the interview, but Arkush directed an episode of St. Elsewhere that included a reference to The Ramones. The producers didn't want to pay for the original recording, so Arkush had to use a soundalike.
	♥ 3:22pm mariano: Hey, what's up, clarke! Yeah, at home hanging out, alternating between work and amusement, with FMU as the soundtrack. Pretty much my life these days! How are you?
	♥ 3:22pm Greg from ZONE 5: SWIVS is tearing up the airwaves!
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm medson: Swivs!!!!! The single that’s been added to a playlist a dozen different ways.
	3:23pm clarke: i'm on the mend, thnx!! starting to miss my Euclid fix, ha ha!!
	♥ 3:23pm McGroovey: @clarke Oh, and I even have it, but time passes weirdly these days. I feel like it came out a couple years ago
	3:24pm clarke: truth, McG!!
	3:24pm Joe B: I hear ya Mcgroov
	3:25pm MFlynn: Anyone know what happened to Mike Nesmith this week?
	3:26pm clarke: i don't know specifially, but mike had been fighting health issues for several years, now.
	♥ 3:27pm Fuzzy: Recent quadruple-bypass surgery for one thing.
	♥ 3:27pm McGroovey: I was watching live Monkees stuff on YouTube last night, and Nesmith was indeed looking frail in recent live concerts.
	3:27pm MFlynn: Didn’t know he was sick. What a shame.
	3:28pm clarke: this point was being discussed just this last monday on 3 Chord Monte, oddly.
	♥ 3:28pm McGroovey: @MFlynn Nesmith shuffled off this mortal coil is what happened. He was 80ish.
	3:29pm clarke: i met Mike on cape cod about 4 summers ago - he was just recovering from some surgery. a bit frail, then, but super-nice and friendly.
	3:29pm clarke: and now, I am the one who is frail from surgery, ha ha
	3:30pm MFlynn: Good point @mcgroovey! He did have a good life and some white out bucks
	3:30pm Gerry from Miami: Nesmith would have turned 79 on the 30th of this month.
	♥ 3:30pm Handy Haversack: Todd the Boss and all affiliated Groovers! Hey there!
	♥ 3:31pm mariano: Glad you're mending, clarke! Ha-ha-ha-ha-Handy! [Sung to the tune of "Fashion"]
	3:31pm clarke: passion!!
	♥ 3:32pm Handy Haversack: Mariano! Up the Runzas!
	♥ 3:32pm McGroovey: Hey, Handy, I want to go to Creek & Kills tonight, but I should probably finish my full recuperation before I venture out too much. Good news: not COVID.
	3:32pm Joe B: Nez deserved a co write with them for pleasant valley sunday. he came up with the guitar riff, which makes the song
	3:33pm clarke: that's right JoeB!!
	♥ 3:33pm Handy Haversack: That is good news, McGroove! Two of my friends have come down with it this week (widely separated, though). Sorry you're ailing. I assume you didn't go out last night? We came back here after spending way too much money in one place in Manhattan -- couldn't add another!
	3:33pm Frank In Queens: Yeah yeah!
	3:33pm clarke: but, then again, tommy tedesco would get a co-write on most of their stuff!!
	3:35pm clarke: frank - did you go home or to the pop-up??
	3:36pm Frank In Queens: @clarke pop-up?
	3:36pm clarke: some WELCOME crazy horse - don't spook the horse!
	3:36pm Joe B: what did tedesco come up with?
	3:37pm clarke: riffs to nearly all the boyce-hart tunes, etc.
	3:37pm Victrola Tom: @Handy: great day today, I get to pre-game for tonight’s poker festivities in the comfort of my own home, while listening to the rock & roll main event!!
	♥ 3:37pm McGroovey: @Handy Yeah, i stayed home. I figured you didn't show up, or Jack woulda posted a selfie with yiz.
	3:38pm clarke: aren't you doing a pop-up show, tonight, Frank??
	3:38pm Don F.: Sounds like 'Last Train to C'ville' I'm taking the TOT bait.
	3:38pm pottybear: Pound them skins Ralph!
	♥ 3:38pm Handy Haversack: You're living the dream, Victrola Tom! Sorry I haven't been able to make it to poker again yet -- rock and roll keeps coming up!
	3:39pm Joe B: I doubt it. Tedesco didn't play on the Boyce and Hart produced stuff
	3:39pm Frank In Queens: @clarke oh! You mean “Drop In”! Sorry, I wasn’t sure what you meant. No i went home.
	3:40pm sufferwords: rad cover of Cale
	3:40pm clarke: I'm Not Your Stepping Stone?? really??
	3:41pm clarke: Valleri - really?
	3:41pm Joe B: Tedesco is not on either of those songs
	3:42pm clarke: Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day?
	3:42pm onthetrain: I am really digging this cover Todd-o-phonic!
	3:42pm clarke: so who plays the "spanish" guitar part on Valleri , then??
	3:42pm Joe B: no tedesco, sorry
	3:43pm Joe B: Louie Shelton, who also played on clarksville
	3:43pm Frank In Queens: Mike didn’t play lead on Valerie? Wow, he looked so convincing on the TV show. 😉
	♥ 3:43pm McGroovey: More people should cover John Cale songs. It's easier to bash out mindless Lou Reed covers,though. Not that there's anything wrong with Lou Reed songs, but everyone already knows them and can easily bash out a few without much thought. Cale songs actually require contemplation.
	3:43pm Frank In Queens: Sorry, wrong spelling…
	3:44pm Joe B: Monkees breakdown usually is this - Boyce & Hart productions - they used their own band. Jeff Barry produced - new York; Chip Douglas produced - the monkees with Chip and/or his own pals; Nesmith-produced - Wrecking Crew
	♥ 3:45pm Hoboken Jack: Hello TOPT, Joe, Frank, McGroove, Handy, gray day Bagpipe, MFlynn, Medson Man, Greg, Mariano, Cheryl, HP Ken, all!!
	3:46pm clarke: i don't have the sandoval book, yet, obviously.
	3:46pm Frank In Queens: Hi Jack!
	3:46pm Victrola Tom: @Handy no worries, rock & roll trumps all! Next match 1/8!
	♥ 3:46pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Happy day to you!
	🎸 ♥ 3:46pm medson: Hey Jack.
	3:47pm Frank In Queens: Joe, that’s a nice breakdown on the Monkees stuff. Thanks for that.
	3:47pm elkeno: Hello There :/ :)
	🎸 ♥ 3:47pm medson: @Frank you just got the TOPT bump for 6pm.
	3:47pm MFlynn: How’s it going Jack!?!
	3:47pm Victrola Tom: Wow, classic-era John Prine!! Go TOPT!
	3:47pm Joe B: but clarke -to your original point, yes, Shelton came up with the Clarksville riff, not boyce OR hart, and that obviously IS the song
	♥ 3:48pm McGroovey: I just watching a documentary about the Monkees on YouTube (I forget the title). But someone (maybe Davy?) said that they'd been assigned the wrong instruments. Davy actually knew how to pay drums, but he was too short to be hidden behind a fun kit. Peter played guitar better than Mike, and Mike posted bass better than Peter. And Mickey could sing, but couldn't actually play anything. But I guess they eventually learned their fake roles.
	3:48pm MFlynn: Definitely a Prine masterpiece.
	3:49pm Frank Zaatar: One of John Prine's greatest spngs ever. Beautifully produced, too.
	3:49pm clarke: BUT - i KNOW tedesco played on the nez solo record The Wichita Train Whistle Sings - because i have that near me
	3:49pm Joe B: tomorrow's gonna be ... and stepping stone predate the monkees,
	3:50pm Frank Zaatar: songs
	3:50pm Frank In Queens: Hey medson. One knows no honor as the Todd-o-phonic bump! ☝️
	3:50pm Victrola Tom: I’m a big fan of Diamonds in the Rough, but this is a great record also.
	3:50pm Joe B: Tork is actually on Sweet Young Thing. Nez always made sure to get him in on his productions (like the great harpsichord break on the girl i knew somewhere)
	3:51pm Joey: Fantastic show Todd!!!
	♥ 3:51pm McGroovey: Too many typos in my above long post...
	3:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Amen on "The Girl I Knew Somewhere", Joe. Thanks @Joey!
	3:52pm Frank In Queens: *no honor as high!
	3:53pm Ambassador Feelgood: I just snagged a copy of the Get Crazy soundtrack LP from one of TOPT's record dealer pals in Albany a few months ago!
	3:53pm Frank Zaatar: @McGroovey: I noticed the tambourine was pretty heavy on those tracks Todd played earlier. Obviously they were trying to get their money's worth put of Davy.
	♥ 3:53pm Brian in New Orleans: Did you notice how "Let it Be".....fits into "Let it Bleed?'...just sayin...
	3:54pm Mico: Stones. Never gets old
	🎸 ♥ 3:54pm DonJuanTijuana: Cookin set TOPT!!! Keep it Crankin!!
	♥ 3:54pm McGroovey: I went through an all-Prine-all-the:time phase maybe 5 years ago, but I had to give it up before I overdosed and killed myself. Same thing happened with sixties Gordon Lightfoot records about 15 years ago.
	♥ 3:54pm G: But could he beat the Pinball Wizard?
	3:55pm Victrola Tom: @TOPT it’s no coincidence that the Pinball Wizards name is Tommy!
	♥ 3:55pm Handy Haversack: Kings definitely pull rank over wizards!
	3:55pm clarke: also, i am pretty sure glen campbell played the lead on Mary, Mary??
	3:55pm Victrola Tom: Great karma boost for tonight’s poker game, thanks TOPT!
	3:56pm Joe B: not sure clarke. he's listed but so is James Burton! a question for Andrew S.!
	3:57pm Joe B: I only saw the Stones once and they did You Got the Silver! Guessing that is not a regular occurrence
	3:57pm Victrola Tom: @Mcgroovey LOL TOPT cringes whenever he sees my Gordie collection!
	3:59pm clarke: i saw The Stones 8 times and no silver in site
	3:59pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: They did that and lots of other "Let It Bleed" tunes at Met Life Stadium in 2019.
	4:00pm Mr C: Todd, did Freakwater ever play Maxwell's?
	4:01pm MFlynn: @mcgroovey, saw a fairly recent performance of Prine on YouTube with Lightfoot in the audience and singing along. Touching !
	4:04pm Mico: First stones show was at the rock 50th anniversary show. Got to see mick Taylor do midnight rambler. I’m good.
	4:04pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Mr C: Yes, Freakwater played Maxwell's a time or two.
	4:04pm Spinning Giant: Greetings, @TOPT, All!!!
	4:04pm clarke: not to mention janet beveridge-bean playing maxwell's with 11th Dream Day a bunch.
	4:06pm Richard Whig: swoon
	4:06pm morphe': I remember having s startled guffaw when I saw that the ugly kid from Gentle Ben was the Student President....
	4:08pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Hey @Spinning Giant!
	♥ 4:09pm McGroovey: I feel like a saw Freakwater live once in the nineties. I guess it would have been either at Maxwell's, or someplace like Brownies in the city
	4:09pm Joe B: McGroov - they played the Mercury Lounge at least twice in that period
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm medson: Love this version.
	♥ 4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey ! ...Wind is right for enuff WiFis from the gym across the street to listen & even Comment ! ...Won't last but glad to get some TopT Saturday goodtimes...
	4:12pm clarke: rev!~
	4:12pm Ambassador Feelgood: @JoeB YGTS turns up quite a bit on Stones set lists in recent years. Keith often chooses it for his show segment aka when Mick takes a break.
	4:12pm mico: Oh yessss hey Ho
	♥ 4:13pm Handy Haversack: Rev Rab! Glad to see you! I sent you a relevant e-mail, if you have a chance to check that.
	♥ 4:13pm JB from NP: Hey ho, Todd O! It's my birthday, any chance of playing the Misfits? Whatever u pick is fine with me.
	4:13pm Victrola Tom: The Rock & Roll Blitzkrieg never ends with TOPT at the controls!
	4:13pm David Shortell: I only saw the Stones once and they didn't play "Satisfaction"!
	♥ 4:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey Handy ! ...e-mails is also interwebz dependent - but I'll see it sometime...
	♥ 4:15pm Handy Haversack: Hopefully useful info in it, RRN63!
	♥ 4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lucky to have seen Ramones a couple times. The Cartoon come to full powered life. ...You know what they played.
	4:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @JB from NP: Happy birthday! I don't think I'll be able to swing The Misfits for you today but maybe Rob Weisberg can honor that request!
	4:16pm clarke: ha hah aha ha ha ha
	♥ 4:16pm Handy Haversack: Was thinking yesterday about last year's Xmas Carol radio play and how we learned that in heaven there's a Ramones record-release party every night.
	4:16pm clarke: todd - we goin' to superbowl??? (packers, i mean)
	♥ 4:16pm McGroovey: @Joe B Yeah, I did go to plenty of things at the Mercury Lounge also. Maxwells was more of a hike for me. I loved in Brooklyn and the upper west side. I'd only go to Maxwells if I couldn't see the same band in NYC somewhere.
	4:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @David Shortell: I would love to see The Stones not play "Satisfaction". They even that sounded good and somehow fresh at the 2019 gig.
	♥ 4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Ramones in fact kinda my 1st show ever. Small club in Manchester, NewHampshuh ...they didn't wanna let me in cause I had holes in my jeans. For TheRamones.
	4:18pm Ambassador Feelgood: D-M-U-B
	♥ 4:18pm JB from NP: No problem Todd. This Ramones block makes me very happy.
	♥ 4:18pm Handy Haversack: Ha! RRN63. Typing from under a kitten pile. Trkcky.
	4:19pm clarke: u have the skillz handy!!
	4:19pm ?: Thank you Todd! Just what I needed!!!
	♥ 4:20pm McGroovey: I missed Todd's Frank bump. What's Frank doing?
	♥ 4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DumbGenius
	4:20pm Frank In Queens: Beer run: ✔️
	4:21pm clarke: go Frank Geaux!!
	4:21pm sufferwords: I was in line for the Roxy show but had come straight from the beach- not the look they were looking for- didn’t know they were charging til today- lucky i didn’t get picked as I was def skint
	4:21pm clarke: remember: you are drinking for both you and me!
	4:21pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @McGroovey: Frank is doing the Drop-In Show on WFMU's Rock and Soul Radio Stream at 6 p.m. right after the conclusion of my show!
	♥ 4:23pm efd: "Jersey through and through." I like this guy already!

	4:25pm clarke: man, i missed yer show this week - but will archive!! no jive!
	♥ 4:25pm efd: Thanks clarke! You always hit the mark!
	4:27pm Listener Robert: Maybe Irwin or Bill Kelly would know if that program was on WFMU. Even when I started listening to WFMU in 1980, I don't think I listened on Tuesday nights.
	4:30pm Listener Robert: What are the chances that program would've survived until 1980 anyway?
	♥ 4:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...people of this era be like 'I saw Hendrix' - I'm like ...can I touch you ?? TheWho in the 60s - TimBuckley ...might as well be Moses in the Old Testament to me...
	♥ 4:30pm efd: Best I can tell from some quick internet searching is that Jerry White was on a station called WJRZ out of Newark and/or Hackensack.
	4:31pm clarke: internet ninja~!
	♥ 4:31pm Handy Haversack: NYU the Behemoth.
	♥ 4:32pm efd: I wasn't in the film school, but Haig was still at NYU when I was there in the late '70s/early '80s, and no last name was needed when my film school friends mentioned his name.
	4:33pm Frank In Queens: Not a problem Clarke!
	4:33pm clarke: bueno!
	4:34pm clarke: hey, believe me i drank enough for both of us before you were 'of age'
	4:35pm elkeno: I love Roger Corman's whole role in developing young talent!
	4:36pm John L: Jonathan Kaplan also directed the great Over The Edge, which had a bunch of Ramones and Cheap Trick on the soundtrack.
	4:37pm Listener Robert: I see WJRZ became WWDJ. My sister listened to WWDJ all the time.
	4:38pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @John L: That is a great movie.
	4:40pm clarke: quite the enclave
	4:41pm Joey: Corman's The Undead was filmed in a vacant supermarket! When i was at film school, we actually got into the long-abandoned Fillmore East to film sequences for a thesis we did. When NYC was the ultimate backlot huh! My Dad Sonny Vento was in On The Waterfront, The Wrong Man and The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms just working as a NYC Longshoreman, so lots of stories i had growing up. So great to hear Allan tell his history...fabulous show!!
	♥ 4:41pm Handy Haversack: Stream cutting out for anyone else

	4:44pm Joe B: no argument here
	4:45pm mico: Yep no argument
	4:45pm Dany_Laj: Rocket To Russia is def a top 10.
	4:45pm Old Dave: Where else can I get this kinda insight? Thanks so much.
	♥ 4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Beast from 20,000 Fathoms !!!
	♥ 4:46pm Gaylord Fields: Sorry to disagree, Allan, but I agree with you.
	♥ 4:47pm Will the Sound Guy: vlc aac stream is rock solid for me
	4:47pm Joey: Rev Rabbit...Hey!! Yes, he has a 5 second cameo in the NYC Fulton Fish market scenes! He got "paid" a 12 year old bottle of J&B Scotch for that!! All the best!! Joey!
	♥ 4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: '2nd verse same / Dif from 1st' - of course a quote from 'I'm Henry the 8th'...
	4:48pm Victrola Tom: What a great interview! This guy gives you a snapshot of NYC in the 70’s like he’s got a photographic memory!
	4:49pm Frank Zaatar: Hey, that's the plot of Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter!
	4:49pm Victrola Tom: @TOPT: The astute commenter!
	♥ 4:49pm McGroovey: Next time you talk to Todd, be sure to slip "That's a very astute comment, sir!" into the conversation!
	4:50pm elkeno: Riff Randel...- Rock 'n Roller
	4:51pm Dany_Laj: That was great!! Super rad interview.
	4:51pm clarke: i'm sure there's MORE....
	4:51pm Joey: Everything in NYC was better before cellphones turned everyone into zombies! Wish we could have that time again!
	4:52pm Matt Clarke: Top track!!! Hi Todd!
	4:52pm Joe B: I wonder if he would have called you 'sir' if it wasn't academy award season
	♥ 4:53pm Hackensack Slim: Another Top-Notch interview. It must be Saturday afternoon with Todd-O-Phonic Todd.
	4:53pm Frank Zaatar: This is great, but is Allan Arkush going to tslk about his groundbreaking research on Moses Mendelssohn?
	4:53pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Matt Clarke: Are you going to be able to watch "How To Make A Monster" tonight?
	4:54pm Creature Boy: This is such a great interview. Inspiring! Luv the old guy eMail -ding!- he mentions David Blue as part of his early MacDougall St type of folk scene background who put out this great album of Blonde on Blonde style "folk rock" or whatever
	4:54pm clarke: IS THAT what Svenghoolie has on tap??
	4:54pm Gerry from Miami: P.J. Soles is now 71 and was once married to Dennis Quaid for 5 years.
	4:54pm Creature Boy: Total Bob Dylan rip off stuff
	♥ 4:55pm Greg from ZONE 5: Jonathan Demme directed Caged Heat?? You learn something new every day, and today I learned that.
	4:56pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Greg from ZONE 5: Yeah, he did a few Corman films early in his career including "Crazy Mama"...which had "I've Had It" by The Bell Notes on the soundtrack!
	5:00pm Stevel: Heavy Metal Kids or Tough Darts:Who came first?
	5:00pm John L: There was a Demme film festival, in 2014, not far from where Demme lived. He introduced "Something Wild" and the night concluded with a set by The Feelies. Demme was beaming through the whole set; he sure loved them.
	5:02pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @John L: When Maxwell's closed I did a call-in show on WNYC to discuss it. Demme was the first caller!
	♥ 5:02pm Handy Haversack: SPOX
	5:02pm Creature Boy: Oh THiS " Get Crazy "

	5:04pm Creature Boy: Seeing Sparks at Disney Hall ( amazing venue) in January
	5:04pm Creature Boy: This*movie
	♥ 5:05pm mariano: Nada Nada Nada!
	5:05pm clarke: was Nada a fictional band for film?? or real??
	♥ 5:06pm Handy Haversack: "Hail nada, full of nada ..."
	5:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @clarke: Nada was a fictional band meant to represent the entire oeuvre of girl groups across the years.
	♥ 5:07pm mariano: For the movie, clarke. But they had Lee Ving on vocals, with the name Pig Pen. There's a great clip of YT of the song he does with them, he absolutely pulled out all the stops there, complete madman on stage.
	5:07pm clarke: danke!
	♥ 5:07pm mariano: *...on YT...
	5:08pm Stevel: Nada is a new world to me. One album?
	5:09pm clarke: will check it

	5:10pm clarke: mariano - got any good seafood stories for me, lately??

	5:10pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Mike! Great fill-in this morning!
	5:10pm clarke: fun show earlier MikeS
	5:11pm Creature Boy: Did Sparks appear in Get Crazy or does this question represent a spoiler type o' thing?
	5:12pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Creature Boy: Sparks do not appear in the movie. But almost everyone else you could name does!
	♥ 5:12pm mariano: clarke: Matter of fact, a cousin of mine (he owns Cane & Table and Val's) brought a sack of Dauphin Island oysters to Thanksgiving at his brother's house. $80 for a sack of 100. They charge $36/dozen for them at St Roch Market! So good though.
	5:13pm clarke: wow!! that is a GREAT story!!! sluuuurrrrrp!!!
	5:13pm Greg: This say it all https://medium.com/cuepoint/a-family-in-peril-lou-reed-s-sister-sets-the-record-straight-about-his-childhood-20e8399f84a3
	5:14pm Daybreak & the Old Week is OVER!: Slightly stuck out in the world shopping, Fortunately only occasionally playing the stereotypical husband role! TOPT is getting me through!
	5:14pm Will: Question for me is, how does one get to see GET CRAZY? Seems to be unavailable from all the usual sources.
	5:14pm clarke: there used to be this great restaurant on Dauphin Island - i wanna say Skipper's Boat - it was destroyed in one of the (many) hurricanes, tho.
	5:15pm ?: you tube
	5:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Will: It just came out on DVD finally!
	5:16pm Listener Robert: I always loved my baby sister too. Daddy asked me when he was leaving for the hospital with Mother whether I wanted a baby brother, a baby sister, or a baby dog. I thought about it and chose baby sister -- and got it! I never understod the sentiment of saying, "A tie is like kissing your sister." I always LIKED kissing my sister.
	♥ 5:16pm Handy Haversack: More Oscar e-mail for Allan!
	5:17pm clarke: or an angel gets their wings
	5:18pm Creature Boy: I saw Rock and Roll High School at Chicago's great revival/art house The Parkway in 80 or 81 must've already reached cult status . It would've been a double bill but not a midnight show
	5:21pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I saw Rock'n'Roll High School the weekend it came out in Somerville, NJ alongside Vibraphonic Vinnie and Dave Billig. It was a Friday night...it's notable in that it was the first time I ever went to Mr. Bee's in the Somerville Circle.
	5:22pm stuntz: I'm not crazy, but I think one of my old smoke detectors has been texting me.
	5:23pm stuntz's smoke detector: NOT TRUE!!
	5:24pm Creature Boy: I AM crazy and could hear the smoke detectors during the 1st part of this interview
	♥ 5:26pm efd: literally laughing out loud at Lou Rawls vs. Lou Reed. (delayed posting so as not to spoil the moment for stream listeners)
	5:26pm clarke: and for the smoke detectors
	5:28pm Stevel: Great stories. He’s something of a rock and roll hero!
	5:29pm clarke: The Bells and Blue Mask - good albums
	🎸 ♥ 5:30pm Frank In Queens: Get the phone Allan!
	♥ 5:30pm mariano: I first saw RNRHS on satellite TV in Honduras in 1980 with an aunt of mine who's pretty prim and devoutly Catholic. "This is so stupid!" she kept saying, till that part where the paper airplane flies into the guy's ear, then she laughed and settled into it. She sat through the whole thing, gotta hand it to her.
	5:30pm Stevel: Telephone ringing! I’m dying!
	5:30pm Creature Boy: The Smoke Detectors first album was ok bit as is often the the band really layed an egg on their sophomore release
	🎸 ♥ 5:31pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, I like The Blue Mask a lot but I don't really care for The Bells.
	5:31pm Creature Boy: But *!
	5:32pm Creature Boy: As is often the case*! Another gag blown cuzza typos!
	5:32pm clarke: what about Berlin?? love that one.
	🎸 ♥ 5:33pm Frank In Queens: @clarke, oh yes. Berlin is great. I like his 70s output for the most part.
	♥ 5:34pm Handy Haversack: ToPT: Knows his shit!
	♥ 5:34pm Will the Sound Guy: such an awesome talk
	5:37pm Joe B: I love how fired up Allan gets as if this stuff happened yesterday
	5:38pm Creature Boy: The Smoke Detectors almost broke through with their cover version of the Count5's Carburetor Dung title track
	5:38pm clarke: but then their batteries ran low
	5:39pm Creature Boy: Eggsackly clarke
	♥ 5:39pm efd: the old Toronto-for-Hoboken trick!
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm medson: What a memory on that guy. Loved this
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Frank In Queens: Fun interview Todd!
	♥ 5:40pm Will the Sound Guy: Totally rad
	♥ 5:40pm efd: That interview was so great! Like listing to two old friends catching up. Thank you, Todd!
	♥ 5:40pm Handy Haversack: Damn, what a great conversation. So cool and interesting. That was fantastic. Thanks, Todd!
	5:40pm Joe B: so great Todd, thanks!
	5:40pm Stevel: Excellent interview! Thanks TOPT!
	5:40pm clarke: noice!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:41pm Frank In Queens: I know Allan is plugging "Get Crazy", but the Shout Factory blu-ray of Rock and Roll High School is fabulous! Great looking disc and chocked full of extras.
	5:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: You're welcome everyone....so glad you enjoyed it! Allan is a super cool guy as you could probably tell.
	♥ 5:41pm Brian D: Great interview as always. Amazing character! Thank you, Todd.
	♥ 5:41pm royvis: Wow, amazing interview, great radio!
	5:42pm clarke: is this faulkner singing lead (or robin zander's son)??
	🎸 ♥ 5:42pm listener 126464: Thanks Todd.

	♥ 5:43pm Franco Twinkie: This was the greatest Todd. More interviews NOT on the phone.
	5:44pm Susan: Interesting interview Todd!!
	5:44pm mico: That was fun. Thanks for all the work to bring that to us Todd.
	🎸 ♥ 5:44pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Todd, you've been killing it with interviews this week. First it was the VU @ Summit HS and now Allan Arkush. Oh and Young Guv is wonderful power pop.
	♥ 5:44pm McGroovey: Interesting interview, Todd. Hoodoo Gurus: I hated whatever that hit record of theirs was back in the eighties, so I never paid attention to them, but every once in a while I hear a song I like, and it turns out it's by the Hoodoo Gurus. I guess I should pay attention to the songs that aren't that song.
	5:46pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Jeff...glad you tuned in Thursday night, that was fun!
	5:46pm John L: That was a great interview. When Monty Hall reopens you should have a screening of Get Crazy, with Arkush there for a Q & A. Well, a guy can dream...
	♥ 5:46pm Franco Twinkie: I loved Like Wow, Wipeout. Was that the hated song?
	5:47pm clarke: i bet McG is referring to Bittersweet which is not only GREAT but stands up over time as i heard it just the other day.
	5:52pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Nice interview Todd ! Brought back a lot memories of awesome Rock shows at the Fillmore East. @ Allan: yup, those were the days, man!
	5:55pm clarke: a fine howdy-doo mr. o'phonic. geaux packers!! adios.
	♥ 5:55pm Will the Sound Guy: Todd-o-Phonic Todd, seriously solid show today!!! Thank you for all that you do man!!!
	♥ 5:56pm McGroovey: I was just looking around the interwebs figuring out which song I hated. It was "I Want You Back". It was 1984, and that was a difficult love-year for me. And I was mostly listening to stuff like Black Flag and PiL and Joy Division.
	♥ 5:56pm Handy Haversack: BÖC!!!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm Frank In Queens: This has been great, Todd. And thank you so much for the plug! See yas soon!
	5:56pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: You're welcome Will!

	♥ 5:57pm Handy Haversack: Knock 'em dead, Frank! I think we can listen for a bit before we head to the show, even! Great show, Todd! Many thanks! Later on, all.
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm Frank In Queens: I Want You Back is friggin' classic! Revisit McGroovey!
	5:57pm MFlynn: Thanks Todd! Another great one! Catch you next week.
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm Frank In Queens: @handy, thanks! Wish Kate a good show for me.
	♥ 5:59pm Handy Haversack: If anyone's looking for a good gig to go see, come to Wonderville in Bushwick after Frank's show on the Rock stream!
	♥ 5:59pm McGroovey: I was just listening to I Want You Back to make sure it was the right (wrong) song, and I still hate it, but I should like it, because I love stuff like that. But, negative associations, i guess.
	♥ 5:59pm McGroovey: @Handy wish I could!
	5:59pm clarke: re-Re-Visit!!
	♥ 6:00pm Handy Haversack: Me, too, McGroovey!
