Listener comments!
	⚡ ♥ 3:03am fred: Greetings Brian and all
	3:08am tom tom the pipers son: good morning...
	♥ 3:12am Brian D: Greetings all.
	3:14am Foutracbaldisco: Hello Brian, hello listeners.
	⚡ ♥ 3:22am fred: Dancing Barefoot is one of these songs I can recognize within seconds (and I didn't grow up with it)
	♥ 3:24am Brian D: Clay Pidgeon played it earlier this week, Fred, and it's been in my head ever since.
	⚡ ♥ 3:32am fred: Though the one I ID fastest is Purple Rain. The first chord is more than enough (I did grow up with that one I guess)
	♥ 3:36am Brian D: This is interesting exercise, Fred. I'm not sure what my song would be.
	3:41am Chris Crisco: Walk Away Renee
	⚡ ♥ 3:42am fred: There were studies showing than people can identify a familiar song within seconds, and the decade an unknown song was released even faster (might be BS, most MIR studies are small scale and very biased)
	3:45am Chris Crisco: Pretty Ballerina too
	♥ 3:46am Brian D: There was a gameshow here in the US (and elsewhere?) called "Name That Tune." The objective was to name a song in as few notes as possible.
	⚡ ♥ 3:50am fred: @Brian: Don't you know that it's different for girls?
	⚡ ♥ 3:51am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Twink was new to me. I enjoyed it and will follow up at some point.
	⚡ 3:51am Don in Tampere: Good morning all. Probably a number of songs I'd recognize immediately. Not even necessarily favorites, stuff like "Smoke on the Water" or "She Loves you"
	♥ 3:54am Brian D: I was thinking maybe "London Calling" for me. Hello Geoffrey ad Don.
	⚡ ♥ 3:55am fred: (Apologies to Joe Jackson) @Brian: don't forget the legal ID in a few minutes
	3:55am Chris Crisco: On the other hand Maria Bartiromo has not shall we say aged well
	♥ 3:57am Brian D: Me? Forget the ID?
	3:57am tom tom the pipers son: didn't joey ramone record a song about maria bartiromo?
	♥ 3:58am Brian D: I think Maria B looks pretty good. The less she says the better, however.
	⚡ 3:59am Don in Tampere: There are probably lots of old-time fiddle tunes that I recognize immediately too, at least if they leave out the "potatoes" intro.
	♥ 3:59am _Ike_: Mmm, potatoes.
	♥ 4:00am Brian D: Indeed he did, @tom tom.
	⚡ ♥ 4:00am fred: I can think of another who aged worse, but that's local bias (the initials BB)
	4:03am tom tom the pipers son: yes he did write a very stupid song about her
	⚡ ♥ 4:03am Michael of Cologne: G'morning Brian & all. Cloudless Cologne sky, mild temp.
	4:03am Chris Crisco: @TomTom Joey must be spinning in his grave right now..
	4:04am Chris Crisco: @Fred Betty Boop?
	♥ 4:07am Brian D: Hello Michael!
	4:08am tom tom the pipers son: @cc- idon't know it seems from the song he genuinely liked what she represented
	⚡ ♥ 4:09am fred: The name of that band reminds me: I wonder whether the singer in Bryars' Jesus Blood was ever identified (and compensated)
	4:10am yippie: I'm flying to portland OR today. my first time in an airport for almost 3 years
	4:12am Chris Crisco: @TomTom yeah that was when she was still the Money Honey. I remember hearing the song on Vin Scelsa's WFUV show and Vin was saying how Joey was getting into the stock market..
	4:18am Chris Crisco: I think Joey was there live on Vin's show at the time.
	♥ 4:18am Brian D: The Ramones had some weird political views.
	⚡ ♥ 4:20am fred: @Chris Crisco: I first read that as "Joey was getting into the stork market". Must be the Glen Passaic speaking...
	4:23am Chris Crisco: @Brian Vin was pretty tight with Joey so I imagine Joey was fairly progressive. I remember Vin saying he didn't have much of a rapport with Johnny or DeeDee.
	♥ 4:24am coelacanth∅: been tuned in Brian Thanks! going to bed now tchau
	⚡ ♥ 4:29am fred: This Jackson situation is shameful. Mississippi goddam
	♥ 4:30am Brian D: @CC Johnny was far right. Dee Dee was amorphous.
	♥ 4:30am Brian D: Thank you @Coel and sleep well.
	♥ 4:31am Brian D: Very true, @Fred.
	4:31am tom tom the pipers son: well said fred
	⚡ 4:31am Don in Tampere: My understanding was that Joey was pretty progressive, and that Johnny was quite right-wing, and that it was a source of conflict in the band. Apparently Johnny refused to play on "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg"
	♥ 4:40am Brian D: From people I know who knew them, Johnny was right-wing and mean about it, and Joey didn't have mean bone in his body. So, that put the two of them in conflict.
	4:41am tom tom the pipers son: the kkk took my baby away
	4:48am yippie: I made some quesadiLas for the airport
	4:49am tom tom the pipers son: this chris forsyth sounds a little bit adrian belew-ish
	♥ 4:49am Brian D: Meant to say, safe travels @Yippie.
	4:56am yippie: thanks. I'm gonna wear my mask unless I'm stuffing my face with food.
	4:57am yippie: I wonder if I am allowed to order a beer on the plane. I didn't do the preorder for any food or drinks on the flight. it's united
	5:03am pp: reading some reviews of FunnyPages , very gross and lots if unidentified liquids appear. 🤣
	♥ 5:05am Brian D: Wouldn't say "lots."
	♥ 5:10am Brian D: Similar humor to Todd Solondz's "Happiness," I'd say.
	5:13am amir: hey from Iran!
	♥ 5:15am Brian D: با درود, Amir. (That's via Google translate, so apologies if it is incorrect.)
	5:15am Chris Crisco: Iran wow that must be a first. They actually allow WFMU in Iran?
	5:16am amir: ahaha it's totally accurate
	5:17am amir: well even Youtube and Twitter are banned in Iran (virtually entire internet you can say) so using a VPN is a must for people. that's how i'm here now :)
	5:19am Chris Crisco: We won't rat you out Amir.
	♥ 5:19am Brian D: Welcome, Amir. Wonderful to have you with us.
	5:20am amir: someone should rat this nation's leader out. He has a very active Twitter account (yes you can see my position towards government!)
	5:21am amir: Thanks, Brian. Enjoying every piece!
	⚡ ♥ 5:21am fred: Sheila B will soon be off the schedule, but she played some Iranian music
	♥ 5:21am Brian D: Indeed, Sheila B spent part of her childhood in Iran.
	5:24am Chris Crisco: I think the rationale behind the JCPOA was that in time Iran would organically become more democratic. Do you think that was a possibility and our Insane Clown Trump by reneging on the deal strengthened the hard line theocrats to the point where that is a hopeless case now?
	⚡ 5:26am Don in Tampere: I have two Iranian doctoral students, and they are not optimistic that things will get better any time soon, even though the vast majority of people in the country hate the government. If the west had not intervened to depose Mossadegh and install the Shah, things would probably look very different.
	5:26am morphe': The Ukrainian Refugee Crisis’ Double Standard: The warm welcome Ukrainian refugees have received contrasts sharply with the punitive treatment of those from the Middle East and Africa." https://www.sapiens.org/culture/ukrainian-refugee-crisis-double-standard/
	5:29am tom tom the pipers son: heading out now... thanks brian and chatsters
	⚡ ♥ 5:29am Michael of Cologne: Gimme water! Momentarily no "Sittin' in a bar, Twiddlin' a jar In Jackson."
	5:29am morphe': Shelia B made a reference to Mona (getting the slot) = a Persian connection???
	5:31am Chris Crisco: Mona til 6?
	♥ 5:31am Brian D: Thank YOU, @tom tom. I don't know Mona personally @Morphe, but yes I believe she is Persian.
	♥ 5:31am Brian D: Doesn't roll off the tongue as well, @CC.
	♥ 5:32am Brian D: @Don 5:26, I think your read is spot on.
	⚡ ♥ 5:36am Michael of Cologne: Elegy for Language 2): Was it insufferable hubris, to malform you so heedlessly? Barbarized your grammar, ignored your sagacity. Attired now in sackcloth, unaware of our poverty
	⚡ 5:38am Don in Tampere: Morphe, though I am glad that Ukrainian refugees have been welcomed most places (apparently they are having more trouble in the UK, which has turned into Xeonophobia Central), the double standard really pisses me off. I was active in a political refugee support group during the 2015/16 wave and got to be friends with some wonderful people, who have much to offer Finland.
	5:41am amir: @cc I believe it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the JCPOA. When the whole system is corrupted and people who rule here are all illiterate people working thanks to nepotism, nothing would help the poor people. a case in the point is that the a considerable amount of people can't afford the basic needs and meanwhile the government brutally arrest women for not having hijab on.
	⚡ ♥ 5:42am Michael of Cologne: Currently a temporary stop to intake of Ukranian refugees in 12 (I think) of 16 federal states (Bundesländer). The population in general remains welcoming so far.
	5:44am Chris Crisco: @amir Interesting. So do you think the sanctions are doing more harm than good?
	♥ 5:44am Brian D: An interesting "documentary" on life in Tehran from a journalist's perspective: www.pbs.org...
	⚡ ♥ 5:44am Michael of Cologne: Thanks, @amir, for your first-hand account of the state of power play in Iran.
	5:47am LiXiviated Life: hello Brian & all
	5:47am Chris Crisco: @Brian thanks for the link. I'm getting 'sorry video not available'. Maybe because I'm in NZ? I'll try with VPN later.
	5:49am amir: @cc well with sanctions the lives of people are surely effected. but on the other hand it's good because it kinda put a pressure on these mullahs since people can't really protest and do the same thing(it happened two years ago, long story short they cut off the whole country's internet and killed people on the street, yes, killed, even kids.)
	♥ 5:50am Brian D: Greetings Lix!
	⚡ ♥ 5:52am Heidee: As a teacher, I believe all of the so called soft skills should be hard skills. Teaching tolerance is my bread and butter. I embrace being able to accompany the young in their most influencial years. Been listening to your show, Brian, thank you! Amir, you are brave and strong, wishing you and your people all the best!
	♥ 5:54am Brian D: Thank YOU Heidee, and wise words. And thank you all for joining me this week. Stay safe and have a great week!
	⚡ ♥ 5:57am fred: Thanks Brian, for an informative and enjoyable show, as usual
	5:57am morphe': Don - it was recently stated[not confirmed] in Ireland that "non-white" refuges were sleeping on the floors, children too while newly arrived Ukrainens were getting beds and cots. For certain though, the racial division includes different rights: Ukranien's can get immediate work permits, but others do not; they get shelter and meals but very little daily pocket money= that is called "Direct Provision." https://www.thejournal.ie/factcheck-asylum-seekers-refugees-segregated-city-west-5776276-May2022/
	5:57am Chris Crisco: @Amir that was the protest over gas prices wasn't it? And also in 2010 when Ahmadinejad stole the election. His opponent is still under house arrest I believe?
	5:58am Foutracbaldisco: Thank you Brian
	⚡ ♥ 5:59am Michael of Cologne: Thanks, Brian & everyone.
	5:59am morphe': Thanks BD and all !!!!!
	6:00am pp: Tibbets!
	6:00am Chris Crisco: Thanks Brian & everyone!

	5:57am morphe': Don - it was recently stated[not confirmed] in Ireland that "non-white" refuges were sleeping on the floors, children too while newly arrived Ukrainens were getting beds and cots. For certain though, the racial division includes different rights: Ukranien's can get immediate work permits, but others do not; they get shelter and meals but very little daily pocket money= that is called "Direct Provision." https://www.thejournal.ie/factcheck-asylum-seekers-refugees-segregated-city-west-5776276-May2022/
