WFMU: Honky Tonk Radio Girl with Becky: Playlist from January 19, 2022

Listener comments!
	♥ 8:03pm Mr. Fine Wine: I keep hearing a teeny bit of the Jeopardy theme in here!
	🎸 ♥ 8:04pm ultradamno: Becky! Tonkies!
	♥ 8:04pm Handy Haversack: Becky! Tonka Trucks! 100 percent, Mr. FW. OK, gotta go call my dear aunt in the hospital, but I'll be listening. Back soon.
	8:04pm Becky: Oh, absolutely!
	8:05pm loveless: Hello all. In the office alone working. Radio cranked to 11.
	8:05pm Kevin in urbana: This song puts me in the great Jarmusch film - No Lovers Left Alive
	♥ 8:05pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Becky, gang!
	8:05pm Kevin in urbana: Er…ONLY Lovers Left Alive
	♥ 8:05pm Wenzo Toad: always love hearing your themesong
	♥ 8:06pm Wenzo Toad: is that the vampires in detroit one? always meant to see it never got the chance...
	♥ 8:07pm steveo: hey there sounding great. my better half heard the jeopardy but i was tardy and missed it
	♥ 8:08pm steveo: oh it's back!
	8:09pm Kevin in urbana: Yes it’s soo good Wenzo
	♥ 8:10pm steveo: "Because They're Young" was written by Aaron Schroeder, Don Costa, and Wally Gold, and produced by Lee Hazlewood and Lester Sill.[2] It ranked #37 on Billboard magazine's Top Hot 100 songs of 1960.
	♥ 8:12pm steveo: nothing in the wikipedia page about jeopardy though :)
	♥ 8:13pm Handy Haversack: It would be a good Final Jeopardy, steveo -- and would reveal those who know Too Much!
	🎸 ♥ 8:13pm ultradamno: And Bruce Anderson. The big one for me.
	♥ 8:14pm Mr. Fine Wine: Rachel Nagy R.I.P. (pronounced "nay-ghee" in case you're unsure; not "noj," as Hungarians would pronounce it).
	8:14pm Becky: Allegedly the Jeopardy! theme was written by Merv Griffin!
	♥ 8:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Let's see if there are any going out to Noël Coward tonight.
	8:15pm Becky: Thanks, MFW. If you couldn't tell, I wasn't sure.
	8:16pm Becky: I grew up with a "noj."
	♥ 8:18pm Handy Haversack: So many tributes. We just keep losing them. The Ronnie Spector tributes have been so touched by celebration, too, as she was close to so many WFMUers, and the joy of knowing her and her art was so clear. The Rachel Nagy tributes are so tinged by knowing, whatever her age was, it happened too damn soon. Bruce Anderson led to overlap between Creamo and Ken, which has to be pretty rare.
	8:18pm Becky: Also, apparently there was an argument on the chat about Rachel's age. If you all want to believe that her and I were watching the X-Files in middle school together, I think she would be okay with that.
	♥ 8:19pm Gaylord Fields: Among other sad things that come with Rachel Nagy's passing, there's also one less Charlie Rich fan on this earth.
	♥ 8:20pm Dominick: A fave!
	♥ 8:21pm Gaylord Fields: Sometimes it astounds me that one band has covered all my favorite songs, but the Detroit Cobras were that group.
	🎸 ♥ 8:22pm ultradamno: I was, along with Creamo, by how many people were being first introduced to MX-80 Sound by that tribute. They should be as much a fundamental of post-punk education as Pere Ubu, Wire or Joy Division.
	♥ 8:22pm Mr. Fine Wine: I read somewhere that she was 37 at death. Which is laughably off the mark. I can attest that she was a full-grown adult when they started the band in '93-'94.
	♥ 8:23pm Handy Haversack: What do you think is responsible, ultradamno? I started a seminal, outlook-changing band at 14. But it was in Canada, so you all wouldn't know it.
	8:23pm Becky: @Gaylord - isn't it amazing??
	8:25pm Dano59: It might have been Midnite Blues that made me a huge fan of the Cobras. And I hadn't even heard the Charlie Rich version
	♥ 8:25pm Gaylord Fields: Honestly, Becky! Literally every song the did is an all-time fave! Incredible taste, and a singer in Rachel who can pull off singing those favorites without a drop in quality.
	8:26pm Becky: What ovaries to even try.
	🎸 ♥ 8:26pm ultradamno: I really don't know, I'd think a Ralph Record pedigree alone would have secured it. But I guess not, the records they have done since then have largely been good (though there's only one Out Of The Tunnel, which may have set up expectations they haven't been interested in meeting) but not well distributed, which hasn't helped.
	8:26pm Dano59: there's an unofficial 2-CD set called Songs the Detroit Cobras taught us. So many greats! or obscure gems, the only music Rachel approved of.
	♥ 8:27pm Gaylord Fields: Rachel had the ovaries of an elephant, Becky!
	8:27pm Morgan: great set Becky
	8:28pm jamesegio: loved the cobras! went to see them every chance I got!
	8:30pm Turk Necker: Hello Honky Tonk Radio Girl with Becky and poster children. Will have to pay attention to Detroit Cobras going forward. Thanks for the show.
	8:31pm Dano59: gino is a coward/rachel is a coward?
	8:32pm Dano59: The import LP of early Cobras singles/non-LP stuff is well worth getting. I suddenly just remembered that I had that.
	♥ 8:36pm Handy Haversack: Is that "The Original Recordings," Dano59?
	8:37pm Andres: Hi, Becky! Appreciated the Rachel Nagy tribute. Also, haven’t previously heard ovaries used in an expression like that. I like it. Elephant ovaries is an image that will stay with me, Gaylord.
	8:39pm Becky: I mean, ovaries are a LOT more resilient than the equivalent.
	8:39pm Niall-iOS: Man, Dallas Frazier. This guy.
	8:39pm Morgan: im sorry it’s distasteful but i can’t help but wonder if some deaths are rona related right now
	8:41pm Dano59: that's the one, Handy
	8:42pm Niall-iOS: Wait, two Dallas songs in a row… ah, he didn’t die, did he?
	8:43pm johnk77: bill kirchen is doing a tribute to dallas frazier friday https://austincityjams.com/events.asp?EventID=1540
	8:43pm Niall-iOS: Ah, damn it. He didn’t get to enjoy the “Cocaine and Rhinestones” halo like Gentry presumably did.
	8:43pm Turk Necker: It's not your imagination Morgan. 100.000's of deaths plus serious injuries from the poison.
	♥ 8:45pm Destroit: Comin in late. Hi becky hi gang.
	8:45pm Niall-iOS: Thanks, @johnk77!
	8:46pm Morgan: I had no idea! Dolly🎉
	♥ 8:46pm Handy Haversack: What?! Yay! Something to celebrate! Happy birthday, Dolly! Why don't we!
	8:46pm P-90: Dolly Parton is basically God
	8:46pm ?: yo... never apologize for playing dolly
	8:46pm Dano59: y'know, John Doe of all people does a nice version of I Will Always Love You
	8:46pm Morgan: hell yeah
	8:47pm Becky: Happy 76th birthday, Dolly. You remain the best. <3
	♥ 8:47pm Handy Haversack: HH: "Do you think she still has Jolene's number?" K8: "Shh."
	8:47pm ?: never apologize for playing dolly!
	8:47pm Turk Necker: I have never heard a negative word about Dolly Parton.
	8:48pm julian in LA: this song never gets old
	8:49pm Turk Necker: This is quite an expanded production of Jolene..no?..
	🎸 ♥ 8:49pm ultradamno: I'm sure some anti-vaxxers have had things to say about her, but screw them.
	8:49pm kev: such a beautiful song
	8:52pm Morgan: that’s right Dolly funded that research
	8:52pm Andres: I learned about Dolly Parton’s book Songteller: My Life in Lyrics on this comments board. It was worth the months long wait for my turn from the library.
	♥ 8:52pm Handy Haversack: Sweet fancy moses, it's so good to have something to just celebrate. Well done, Becky! What a great thing. Thanks for bringing us back up and back to the living and the vital. Many, many thanks. Youse take care of yourselves, Tonka Trucks.
	8:53pm Becky: @Andres - such a great book! I recommend it for everyone's coffee table and bedside.
	8:55pm Turk Necker: @Morgan I forgot about that, but suspect it was from her heart and not financial interests.
	8:55pm alan the painter: pulling my heart
	♥ 8:56pm Destroit: Hell yea. Come in late and get a facefull of Dolly and slipped me a Mickey. Friggin love this party
	♥ 8:57pm listener 126464: Thank you Becky.
	9:00pm Andres: Thanks, Becky!
	♥ 9:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Becky. Here's a Dolly quote for ya: “Storms make trees take deeper roots.”
	9:00pm Morgan: thank you becky! great tribute!
