	♥ 11:55am WR: If I log in and comment now and start listening now, hopefully I will still be listening when the program starts at 1 ET.
	12:01pm Mr Fab: Good move WR - it is advised that all travelers arrive at the airport early. Only i won't make you take off your shoes.
	♥ 1:01pm WR: Seat and seat table in upright position, belt fastened. Shoes off (comfort choice). Electronic devices in take off mode.
	1:04pm Mr Fab: Welcome aboard. We first will be looking for America. Has anyone seen it? I swear I just left it here...
	♥ 1:05pm WR: ↳ Mr Fab @1:04 "America"? That's a little vague. Do you have a more detailed description of what you've lost?
	1:07pm DJ Guin: Thievin' Simon ded?
	1:09pm Mr Fab: ↳ DJ Guin @1:07 Eh?! Don't think so. that is if you're referring to Paul Simon. if there's someone actually named Thievin' Simon, he might have died.
	1:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Yume no kariforunia (California Dreaming)" by "Th... I swear it sounds like they sang "I got down on my knees and pretend to pray." Sounds like me in my Catholic school days.
	1:13pm Mr Fab: anyway: aloha WR, and DJ Guin! thanks for trippin' with me on this lovely morning.
	1:17pm Mr Fab: Anyone ever gone up up and away in a hot-air balloon? Been looking into it. Looks pretty cool. That Baltimore song reminds me of the John Waters exhibit i have yet to catch: www.academymuseum.org...
	♥ 1:19pm WR: ↳ Mr Fab @1:17 double negatives here Mr Fab. Going to browse that Waters' exhibit page when get some time later, thanks for the link.
	1:26pm Mr Fab: We've flown over the Atlantic now, hitting UK and the Continent. Anyone care for some of those little bitty liquor bottles?
	1:28pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "La chanson de Marie-Madeleine" by "Petula Clark" "I Don't Know How To Love Him" from "Jesus Christ Superstar." As you may have noticed. We're in a "rock opera" mood here.
	1:36pm WM: Didn't Claudine Longet shoot her boyfriend, or something like that?
	1:38pm Mr Fab: ↳ WM @1:36 Sadly, i believe that's true. A fact i was blissfully unaware of when I started finding her records. I thought she had the most lovely soothing voice ever. But nothing too soothing about getting shot. She's innocent, innocent I say!
	1:42pm Mr Fab: I saw Don Ho, and met him on my honeymoon!
	1:44pm WM: Yes... Claudine Longet was married to Andy Williams. They divorced and she took up with an Olympic skier, Vladimir Sabich. She shot and killed him. Yet, Andy Willimas was apparently still sympathetic to his ex-wife and hired some expensive lawyers to get her off a small fine and minimum sentence. She almost literally got away with murder. Think of that when you look at those photos of her innocent face. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudine_Longet
	1:45pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "The Words Get Stuck in My Throat" by "Trinnie Lee... some Japanese monster movie action now. This singer is performing in a tiki bar before one of the Gargantuas busts up the place.
	1:48pm Mr Fab: ↳ WM @1:44 She was framed! Her and OJ are looking for the real killers.
	1:48pm WM: Years ago I heard Devo at the Bottom Line in NYC and they played The Words Get Stuck In My Throat as an encore.
	1:50pm Mr Fab: ↳ WM @1:48 Their version is on one of their comps. Good version! Alas, despite having seeing Devo a few times, I've never seen them play it.
	1:50pm WM: Good response!
	♥ 1:54pm WR: ↳ Song: "Mothra's Song" by "The Peanuts" shucks, stepped away for a few minutes and missed The Peanuts.
	1:57pm WM: Years before I attended the Devo concert, some of my friends and I were watching late night TV. War of the Gargantuas was on and we tuned in to hear the song TWGSIMM and see the lounge singer be devoured. We nearly collapsed with laughter, but did not catch the name of the movie. So imagine my shock when I heard Devo perform the song. I shouted out "what was the name of that movie!"
	1:59pm Mr Fab: ↳ WM @1:57 I really did LOL out loud at that! Did they answer you?
	2:01pm WM: @ Mr. Fab. No. It was some years more before I discovered the name of the movie.
	2:02pm Mr Fab: We have made our first complete orbit of the globe, back to where we started. Feel free to frug with Nancy Sinatra while we refule.
	2:03pm Mr Fab: ↳ WM @2:01 I do kinda miss the mystery of the pre-internet era, when we did not have the answer to everything at our fingertips, and would discover things by chance.
	♥ 2:08pm WR: ↳ Song: "MacArthur Park" by "Nancy Sinatra" I heard some line in there about striped pants? ---back to work.
	2:09pm Mr Fab: ↳ WR @2:08 pronounced "stripe-ed"!
	2:21pm WM: @Mr. Fab: I agree. I spent decades of my life building up a vast archive of useless knowledge, just waiting for the moment when a discussion provides the right opportunity and I can interject one of my essential non sequiturs into the conversation. Now any uninitiated novice can provide the same information by just consulting their smartphone. There ought to be some kind of fine or penalty for access to the instant knowledge smart phones provide. Remember - Socretes said that a true Philosopher must have a good memory.
	2:22pm WM: Socrates. So there is some use to the internet after all.
	2:29pm WM: Socrates on the written word: "For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise." Just imagine what he would have said about the internet.
	2:34pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Solar System" by "The Beach Boys" Brian Wilson in the '70s was like Daniel Johnston before Daniel Johnston. I hear what you're saying Socrates, but the human brain can only remember so much. True, writing has made us somehwat lazy thinkers, but we gotta offload all that data at some point.
	2:37pm Mr Fab: I'm amazed that actors can memorize all that dialogue. I'd be hopeless at that.
	2:38pm WM: Note that while Socrates denounces the written word his disciple Plato, nonthe less writes down what he says, so two thousand years later we can read Socrates warning about the written word.
	2:38pm Mr Fab: ↳ WM @2:38 The irony of that did not escape me.
	2:41pm WM: You are one of the most ironic DJs on WFMU.
	♥ 2:44pm Aitch: a final flourish of Fab, nice plane.
	2:47pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Tahiti (Alternate mix)" by "Piero Piccioni" This track is so great, i would play it over and over. But that got a bit repetitious, so to add variety, I've done tricks like the part playing now I layered a backwards version over it, also dropped in bits from actor Lawrence Harvey reading poetry, and Pink Floyd's "Echoes"
	2:47pm Mr Fab: hey, Preparation Aitch! yes, this is kinda the grand finale.
	♥ 2:51pm Aitch: ↳ Mr Fab @2:47 Not quite 7am, still bumping into things, during my preparations. If I can ever manage a show I think that's got to be the name.
	2:53pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Tahiti (Alternate mix)" by "Piero Piccioni" now I've got two versions playing at the same time, one slightly ahead of the other. Here comes the Pink Floyd sounds.
	2:54pm WM: Great show and thanks for letting me interject my non sequiturs.
	2:54pm Mr Fab: ↳ Aitch @2:51 I do think of the stuff I've been playing today as great late night or early morn music. Dreamy, and trippy.
	2:57pm Mr Fab: Thank YOU, WM, and the rest of my fellow radio-nauts for joining me on this trip. Aloohaaaaa...
	♥ 2:59pm Aitch: ↳ Mr Fab @2:54 I'll save them up and apply in the lulls.
	♥ 4:10pm WR: Thank you! Mr Fab!
	♥ 6:02pm doctorjazz: Doing my usual catch up listen, fun show, thanks, Mr Fab!
	6:08pm Mr Fab: Ha ha, the doctor is in! Glad you could make it, sir.
