	⚡ 3:06am Hoboken Jack: Happy new year Brian, Scott67, CoelyC!!
	3:07am Scott67: I see it originally cost me $25.95AU. Music is still mad expensive in Oz.

	3:07am Brian D: Jack! Just getting home?
	3:08am Scott67: G'day Jack! A Happy, healthy & humorous one to you too mate! ✌😎🎶📻🌻
	⚡ 3:14am Hoboken Jack: Brian, I haven't been to a show since 12/16 -- everything's been canceled!
	3:16am coelacanth∅: greetings H Jack!
	3:16am Brian D: Yeah, I wondered, @Jack...
	3:23am Scott67: Okay! I confess, I was a U2 fan back then.
	3:24am Brian D: Me too, Scott.
	3:25am Scott67: Had Unforgettable Fire on Vinyl. & the T-shirt.✌😎👕
	3:25am coelacanth∅: they were great back then -and what a voice he had (has?)
	3:28am coelacanth∅: when boy came out they were lumped in with the "punk" thing and we were very hip in the clubs to know who u2 is!
	3:29am Gnomon: I for one have been wondering how long it would take for that song to show up this year, as for the first time in years I wasn’t working a NYE party. Pleased to see it took almost exactly 24 hours. Thank you.
	3:29am coelacanth∅: haha! i didn't even make the connection! (i've had it pop into my head on past new years days though)
	3:32am Scott67: I'm with you coel. I just think of the N.Ireland Troubles.
	3:35am coelacanth∅: -just so, Scott.
	3:37am listener phillip (in the bronx): Also gothic horror novelist anne rice and just a few days ago betty white. I hope sir you arent going to leave them out
	3:38am listener phillip (in the bronx): I'm awake because I caught the omacron variant and have 100 fever.
	3:38am Brian D: Phillip, we "covered" Anne Rice last week. May address Ms. White next week.
	3:39am Scott67: Brian, making me go to my CD Rack tonight mate. I have Bob's Vegetarians of Love there.
	3:39am Brian D: Sorry to hear, Phillip. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
	3:39am coelacanth∅: Scott, and random coincidence (?), i was reading the back of a that petrol emotion album yesterday -about england's "prevention of terrorism act" which has allowed them to detain for up to 7 days around 5500 people that were ultimately never convicted of anything.
	3:40am listener phillip (in the bronx): I'm sorry to say tylenol or advil isnt working😔
	3:40am coelacanth∅: (5500 between 1975 & 1984)
	3:41am listener phillip (in the bronx): Ugh🤬 nice I go out with a,mask and gloves wash hands and social distance and still got it.
	3:42am Scott67: It was rough there back then coel. I lived there for a year in 92. & shit was blowing up & getting shot still then.
	3:43am listener phillip (in the bronx): Two weeks in self isolation. That sucks
	3:44am Brian D: Bob wrote an interesting op-ed about his "friend" Desmond Tutu. It's in the comments for the song, but I'll put it here, too: www.theguardian.com...
	3:45am coelacanth∅: hmmm, i'd like to read it, but the guardian... their over-the-top capitalism freezes up my computer!
	3:46am Brian D: Some very "1984"-ish policies in Britain back then, @Coel. The BBC had a policy about not allowing "terrorists" to speak on the air, so they'd have Gerry Adams interviewed, but dub over his voice using an actor (Stephen Rea, as it turns out).
	3:46am Brian D: So sorry for your troubles, Phillip. Shows how dangerous this thing is, I guess.
	3:47am Scott67: Hah!! The irony!📽🎬
	3:49am Scott67: Get well soon, or sooner Phillip. ✌😎🌷
	3:53am coelacanth∅: yeah for sure Brian... and the bush family (starting with their puppet reagan, if not before) wanted a piece of that action so created the "patriot act"...which is worse in some ways, being more covert, and more insidious.
	3:54am Pablexa™: She's Talking™ cuz I doubt I'll be awake
	3:54am Brian D: Indeed, @Coel. More on Bush later, if we have time.
	3:56am Scott67: Pabs, I will hold ya to that mate! 👍😎🍻
	3:59am Pablexa™: @Scott67 Happy New Year mate - Although it may be 2023 with you - I've never been good at the maths and time zone thingy
	4:02am Scott67: Same to you Pabs! 2022+2 here this evening mate! Nothing has fallen off yet! 👍😎🍻
	4:03am Cooh John: Good morning Brian, Scott67, coelacanthø, et.al. Happy New Year.
	4:04am Scott67: G'day Cooh.J! Good ta seeya mate! 👍😎🍻
