	3:25pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Stu Rutherford @3:23 Hey Stu!
	3:26pm clarke: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:25 also, if you are near Jackson, TN there's a little carl perkins monument, there.
	3:26pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Thinking About You" by "The Wyld Gooms" Reminds me of 90’s Cynics. Good ish
	3:26pm Candy-O'67: ↳ clarke @3:26 Oh cool. I am near there! I'll Google that and see if I can find it
	3:28pm clarke: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:26 you must be pretty close to Hohenwald, TN - which used to be the thrift capital of the world. dunno if it still is.
	3:29pm Candy-O'67: ↳ clarke @3:28 I haven't seen signs for that place, but I'll keep a lookout
	3:29pm Stuntz: Rollicking and rolling start, OP! Loving it!
	3:29pm clarke: it is not on the main hwy, but a nice detour - or used to be. alex chilton lived there for about a year.
	3:29pm traven: ↳ clarke @3:28 Thrift is an excellent virtue.
	3:30pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Chili MacPagoda @3:26 They're great! Go see them when they come up your way next time!
	3:30pm clarke: ↳ traven @3:29 used to be!
	3:30pm Candy-O'67: ↳ clarke @3:29 I see! I think I'll have to hit that next trip
	3:31pm clarke: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:30 if you drop down to I-20 via the natchez trace - which is fun, you go thru there.
	3:31pm traven: ↳ clarke @3:30 In the times we currently live in, for many of us, it's a necessity.
	3:32pm Candy-O'67: ↳ clarke @3:31 Gotcha! Hey, my niece got her driver's license a couple weeks ago. Watch out! 😂
	3:32pm Candy-O'67: Awwww! Thx Todd!😘
	👻 3:32pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Cooh John @3:06 Altamont of course always comes to mind.
	3:33pm clarke: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:32 ha ha ha - will do! i hardly drive in this city - but i DID go see susan cowsill and peter holsapple last nite!
	3:39pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "Up The Junction" by "Squeeze" I always loved the early Squeeze songs.
	3:40pm Christina Ginger: Hey everyone!
	3:41pm John: Minnesota
	3:41pm Anthony S.: Hahahahaha! Love you!
	3:41pm John: California
	3:41pm clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @3:40 hay - diggin' the EO's oeuvre!!
	3:41pm John: New York
	3:41pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): My favorite Squeeze song!!! “Up The Junction!!” “Thank You” Todd💜
	3:42pm Billybob: ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @3:32 I always likened the chaos at Altamont to the chaos at Kent State, the violence at both situations involving bikers.
	3:43pm Van Winkle ;-): Greetings TOPT et al from above the 49th. Looking forward to NOBRO's live set this afternoon...bien sûr!!!
	3:43pm Sonny Rickles: you da man!
	3:44pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Who is this “great” sounding band 2nd Grade????And where are they from???? I love them!!! Oh and I’m in Rock & Roll Heaven Todd!! …..a Jules Shear tune!!!💜
	3:44pm clarke: ↳ Song: "If She Knew What She Wants" by "The Bangles" bangles had a certain hand-motion whilst doing this song, live.
	3:44pm Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @3:41 Thanks, Clarke! ☺️
	3:45pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls) @3:44 2nd Grade are a current band hailing from Philly!
	3:45pm clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @3:44 what kind of keyboard is your main one??
	3:46pm Candy-O'67: ↳ clarke @3:33 Sounds like a good show!
	3:46pm morphe': ↳ Song: "If She Knew What She Wants" by "The Bangles" Making me think of the mandatory learned poem in Bklyn Catholic school '60s-'70s ... by the shores of GitcheeGoomie ... ??Longfellow??'
	3:46pm clarke: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:46 ah, last night? was all REM covers.
	3:47pm Mattynotimes: So good
	3:47pm Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @3:45 It’s just a 72-key nord stage model with patches. I alternate between the organ and then an electric piano wurly sound
	3:47pm Candy-O'67: Hitting the highway again! See y'all at the next stop!
	👻 3:47pm Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey. powpowpow.
	3:47pm clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @3:47 i have one of those, they are great! got a stage 2 from long ago.
	3:47pm Mr C: The best!
	3:48pm traven: ↳ morphe' @3:46 Are you a survivor of Catholic grammar school, too?
	3:48pm clarke: ↳ Squints @3:47 there 'e is!! back in the 'mouth!
	👻 3:50pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ morphe' @3:46 Gitchie Gumee is Wadsworth Longfellow. Bklyn catholic school kids raging in their school uniforms once they let them out of class - I remember.
	3:50pm DanFA: Was that John Peel?
	3:50pm clarke: ↳ Song: "If I'm On The Late Side" by "Faces" wow!! love this!!
	3:50pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "Thinking About You" by "The Wyld Gooms" Can anyone tell me if this band is old or current (or maybe both)? The sound and their album cover is 1966, but I see they're performing tonight?
	3:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Billybob @3:50 Current band out of L.A..
	3:51pm clarke: new band!
	3:51pm Gaylord Fields: I was thinking that this Nick Lowe song reminded me of "Please Please Please" by Ducks Deluxe.
	3:51pm morphe': ↳ traven @3:48 Our Lady of Angles = Bklyn... And HS too, but my HS was progressive = no uniforms, no corporal punishment, mass and confession not obligatory = Xaverian HS, Bklyn .... a lot of South American political refugees from Dictatorships as Lay teachers ...
	3:52pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Thanx Todd!💜 I’ll have to get on 2nd Grades Mailing list. I never get bored living on this Planet because listening to TOPT I learn about “new” GREAT Music as well as hearing “the best” older music!!
	👻 3:52pm Squints: ↳ Gaylord Fields @3:51 Ooh. I like that one.
	3:53pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Gaylord Fields @3:51 Never a bad thing.
	👻 3:53pm Squints: ↳ clarke @3:48 Yep. Had my post-drive nap and filling time pending headed out with She Of The Big Brown Eyes.
	3:53pm Billybob: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @3:51 Thanks, and wow! They got that garage sound down perfectly. At first, I thought they were the Music Machine.
	👻 3:53pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ morphe' @3:51 OLA and there was also OLPH and St Bernadettes. Xaverian was all boys and Fontbonne was all girls.
	👻 3:53pm John L: ↳ Song: "If I'm On The Late Side" by "Faces" I was across the room when this came on and from a distance I was reminded of Greg Cartwright.
	3:54pm clarke: ↳ Squints @3:53 Toffees lost whilst thy slept!
	3:54pm San Pedro Girl: Hey Todd and all!
	3:55pm clarke: ↳ John L @3:53 they live in the same town, or did. asheville is not much right now, sorry to say. also, greg has a house in memphis, which is where i hope he was!
	3:56pm clarke: or rather MJ and greg live in asheville.
	3:56pm traven: ↳ morphe' @3:51 Thankfully no Catholic HS. However, I had a fourth grade nun who was a sick vicious bitch. A few years later she was found out to have a brain tumor.
	3:56pm Steve Harsh: Looking forward to hearing from unsung hero Billy Bremner
	3:56pm clarke: or did. hope both are okay.
	3:56pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @3:53 Strong agreement here, Todd. Your show keeps pub rock alive.
	3:57pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ clarke @3:55 Greg was in Memphis for Gonerfest. His family in Asheville is okay thankfully.
	3:57pm clarke: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @3:57 oh good!! hope MJ was able to get out!! i think they may have been on the road??
	3:58pm rx "rexy" scabin: Good afternoon, Todd and Everyone. Yellowjackets are trying to join us on the porch.
	👻 3:58pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Adeline" by "Cowgirl" ⭐📢 now reverse
	4:00pm clarke: got to be the most devastating inland hurricane EVER??
	👻 4:00pm Squints: ↳ clarke @3:54 Thought I saw they drew. Although if they could only draw with Bournemouth they might as well have lost. Anyhow, things don't look soooo bleak as they did.
	4:00pm morphe': ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @3:53 Yes,,, I grew up first at 55th and 3rd and was OLPH, but moved to Bay Ridge so OLA .. all of my cousins were OLPH.. No St Bernadettes = St Anselm's, St Pats and my sister's HS up on 65 St ?? Fontbonne was Xaverians "sister school" but rich girls..
	4:00pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:00 if they drew, it was in the last few mins!! ??
	👻 4:01pm Squints: ↳ clarke @3:54 Actually they drew with Newcastle, which ani't soooo bad.
	4:02pm morphe': ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @3:53 my sister's HS up on 65 St ?? = Bishop Kearney
	4:02pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:01 newcastle def drew today! (everton)
	4:03pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:01 u got it!
	👻 4:03pm Bruce S.: ↳ Billybob @3:42 how did the violence at kent state involve bikers?
	4:04pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:01 yeah, looks like toffees moved up a notch!
	👻 4:04pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ morphe' @4:00 My father went to St Anselms (he was at 82nd & FtHam Pkwy) and my mother was in the parish of OLA (72nd & 4th Ave). I would've gone to The Fort (zone school) but attended HS of A&D in Manhattan so I missed out on all the love but not really.
	👻 4:05pm Squints: ↳ clarke @4:02 Yeah. Everton. Those are my guys.
	👻 4:06pm Michael C St Lou: 🔈🔉🔊
	4:06pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:05 yep! it's like being a saints fan.
	4:08pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Bruce S. @4:03 I was going to ask the same.
	👻 4:08pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ morphe' @4:02 I remember Kearney. Knew a bunch of teenage girls that attended. I recall Bishop Ford as well which to me was the first co-ed catholic school in the area.
	4:08pm clarke: tell that to the owl!
	4:08pm DanFA: Family show
	4:09pm San Pedro Girl: Hard to believe, really.
	4:09pm prof.fuzz in the fuZZZmobile: Free the meow meows!
	4:09pm The Spoony: Mon dieu.
	👻 4:09pm Bklyn_Dutch: I am getting a mashed signal, it popped up during Rex's show earlier and the bake-off, figured it was a remote broadcast.
	4:10pm StuartR: ↳ Song: "Set That....Free" by "NOBRO live on WFMU" Cool dedication
	4:10pm DanFA: These ladies are cookin.
	4:11pm Billybob: From what I read, bikers were the ones wreaking havoc in town and on campus, setting buildings and businesses on fire. It wasn't really the student protestors.
	👻 4:11pm Bruce S.: Rex once played a record which I believe was called pussy pussy pussy seriously
	4:12pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Set That....Free" by "NOBRO live on WFMU" It is pretty fascinating as to what "free speech" is allowed in modern times...and what is not. /⁠ᐠ⁠｡⁠ꞈ⁠｡⁠ᐟ⁠\
	4:15pm clarke: good playing here, NOBRO!
	👻 4:15pm Bruce S.: ↳ Billybob @4:11 I never heard that,I thought it was just a case of cold blooded murder by the national guard
	4:16pm Gerry from Miami: Yo, SQUINTS! Didn't know you were such a British football fan. Steppin'out with the Mrs. tonight, eh? Have fun and stay "semi-sober!" LOL!
	4:16pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @4:12 Right?
	4:17pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz in the fuZZZmobile @4:09 tell that to the owl.
	4:17pm Billybob: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:08 Also, to Bruce (I neglected to direct my last comment to him)...if you were around at the time, you might remember that bikers and hippies were opposite sides of the same counter-cultural coin.
	👻 4:17pm Bruce S.: NOBRO is a real rabble rousing band
	4:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Billy Bremner still coming up later in the program. WHAT AN EMBARRASMENT OF RICHES!
	👻 4:18pm Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:16 semi. I do have to be somewhat good tonight. On the pitch tomorrow at 7am. First time in three weeks since dinging up my knee a little bit.
	4:20pm goes211: Was just in Montreal…great biking/walking city!
	4:21pm Gerry from Miami: SQUINTS, you actually still pull on your cleats and kick the old ball around? That is cool, but as you noted, the ol' bod is a bit fragile when you get to be our age.
	4:21pm Billybob: ↳ Bruce S. @4:15 Another interesting fact was that many of the National Guard were the same age as the students, and even shared the same anti-war sentiment. But they were young and faced with a chaotic situation that they were ill-prepared to deal with.
	4:22pm clarke: and no crowd is ever completely innocent, either.
	4:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: We need to work on the idea of WFMU road trips. Would love to spend a weekend in Montréal.
	4:23pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Dominance and Submission" by "Blue Öyster Cult" playing tonight at GretnaFest!!!
	4:23pm Gerry from Miami: Speaking of BILLY BREMNER, one of my greatest regrets is that ROCKPILE only made one album.
	👻 4:23pm Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:21 Yep. Took a three-year break in 2018 (from just about everything but playing guitar and drinking). My Sunday morning pickup guys pulled me back in. I'm out of the goalkeeping business. Forgot three weeks ago and went down for some balls, which I know better than to do these days. Competitive nature gets the better of me.
	4:23pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: To anyone interested in the tragedy of Kent State I strongly recommend the graphic novel "Kent State: Four Dead In Ohio" by Derf Backderf.
	4:23pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Billybob @4:17 I was quite young at the time and don’t know about Kent State except about the deaths that resulted. In the case of Altamont it was The Grateful Dead who hired their friends, the Hell’s Angels, to provide security. The event had been planned to take place in Golden Gate Park. The Rolling Stone’s press conference announcing the show caused them to lose the permit for a free show, forcing the organizers to find an alternate venue.
	👻 4:23pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Billybob @4:21 Live rounds were issued and that was a terrible mistake of leadership (officer in charge?). Gas and riot bullets did not make a proper authoritarian statement that day.
	👻 4:23pm Bruce S.: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @4:22 yeah thats a capitol idea, or New Orleons
	4:24pm San Pedro Girl: *Rolling Stones's
	4:25pm traven: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:23 Did you get a copy with the bonus EP?
	👻 4:26pm Bruce S.: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:23 I read that Altamonte went on because Mick wanted to film the show and make alot of money on the film,it really should have been cancelled
	4:27pm Gerry from Miami: SQUINTS, that competitive spark can get you in trouble, that's for sure!
	4:28pm Cooh John: BÖC playing Ohio.
	4:28pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Dominance and Submission" by "Blue Öyster Cult" whoops, Blue Oyster Cult is playing tomorrow, sunday, in new orleans. or rather: gretna
	4:28pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): 👍👍👍Locomotion!! Dancing now😁
	4:29pm Gerry from Miami: TODD, the late rock critic LESTER BANGS called BLUE OYSTER CULT the best rock band of its era.
	4:29pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "The Loco-Motion" by "Little Eva" Handclaps are of course almost as welcome & fun as cowbells!!!
	4:30pm clarke: ↳ clarke @4:28 Foghat goes on before blue oyster cult!!
	4:30pm Billybob: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:23 Many of us young 'uns at the time (myself included) made the mistake of accepting the CSN+Y version of the story. As usual, things are more complicated than the fairy tale version. Whatever, it was awful, and should never have happened. Crazy times.
	4:30pm Gerry from Miami: LITTLE EVA was once CAROLE KING and JERRY GOFFIN's babysitter for their daughter LOUISE.
	👻 4:32pm Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:29 Did a deep revisit of the catalog during lockdown. Man, not just a standard-issue hard rock band. Those guys were kind of all over the place. I was pleased.
	4:32pm Gerry from Miami: @traven. Yes, with the EVERLY BROTHERS cover tunes. Great stuff!
	4:35pm traven: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:32 The EP was great. However, the full album was somewhat uneven, in my opinion.
	4:35pm Billybob: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:23 Check out the movie Gimme Shelter. You can see what happened as it happened. People at the time saw Altamont, along with the Manson killings, as the end of the whole hippie thing.
	👻 4:35pm Bruce S.: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:29 Lester Bangs wrote that Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music album was great after you've had a lobotomy
	4:35pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Might As Well" by "Raspberries" todd - does your scratch and sniff still work on this copy??
	4:35pm Gerry from Miami: @SQUINTS. Yes, BOC were REALLY talented! BUCK DHARMA forever!
	4:36pm San Pedro Girl: I was perplexed by learning that the Dead, after the whole Altamont tragedy went down, whoever was ultimately responsible, hired Stones’s then fired road manager, Sam Cutler—mind blowing.
	4:36pm Victrola Tom: Just saw a performance by the Chimps on their farewell tour! TOPT was once their sound man!
	👻 4:37pm Squints: ↳ clarke @4:35 Nah. That was the debut, wasn't it. "Fresh" was the one with the (there, I'll say it) pre-Travolta suits.
	4:38pm Billybob: ↳ clarke @4:35 Oh, I remember that. The Cramps had a scratch 'n' sniff label on their album Smell of Female, too. I recall it smelled kinda skunky (the label, that is).
	4:38pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Thanx Todd for recommending the Book, Kent State! I’d like to read the “inside Story.” What a tragedy that our own Government killed its own People over a peaceful protest about a War that the Government didn’t fully support!! Sad that so many died😢
	4:38pm Gerry from Miami: @Bruce S. Yes, Mr. Bangs never waffled in his record reviews. "Metal Machine Music" is a tough go, that's for sure!
	4:39pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:37 what's the one with strawberries??
	4:39pm DJ Nico: Hey hey!
	4:39pm clarke: ↳ clarke @4:39 i mean raspberries, ha ha.
	4:40pm Billybob: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:36 On the other hand, they did kinda save Mick Jagger's life. The guy that died had a gun.
	4:40pm DJ Nico: Luvvers any connection to Lulu & her Luvvers?
	4:41pm clarke: ↳ Song: "The House On The Hill" by "The Luvvers" badass!!
	4:42pm Billybob: ↳ Bruce S. @4:35 I bought it about 20 years ago, just out of curiosity. I immediately bequeathed it to a friend's 20 y/o son. He was thrilled. Go figure.
	4:42pm clarke: ↳ Song: "I Must Be In Love" by "Eric Idle & Neil Innes (fe... it's a goer!!
	4:42pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ DJ Nico @4:40 Yes, Nico. Her backing band although this 45 was recorded after they parted ways.
	👻 4:42pm Squints: ↳ clarke @4:39 The first one. "Raspeberries." "Fresh" was the second one.
	4:43pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:42 of course, yer right!
	4:43pm Gerry from Miami: @SQUINTS. Are those pre-Travolta suits like the ones the ROMANTICS wore?
	4:44pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "I Must Be In Love" by "Eric Idle & Neil Innes (fe... The arc of history is long, but bends towards Eric Idle being the most talented member of Monty Python.
	👻 4:44pm Bruce S.: ↳ Billybob @4:42 It's kind of a timelessly weird, abbrasive album
	4:44pm CTEmpress: RUTLES 4EVAH!
	👻 4:44pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Song: "I Must Be In Love" by "Eric Idle & Neil Innes (fe... Billy must be coming up as he was playing Rutles guitar
	👻 4:45pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @4:44 early on.
	4:45pm clarke: the bread starts to turn to toast. again!
	👻 4:45pm Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:43 They kinda look like what Travolta wore in SNF. Except maybe not so, um, tight. Not nearly so leathered up as The Romantics. As an aside, those simple straightforward performance videos The Romantics did for "What I Like About You" and "When I Look In Your Eyes" are just Le. Merde. Chaud. Great straight-ahead stuff. Contenders.
	4:46pm traven: ↳ Song: "The Girl Can't Help It" by "Billy Bremner" Thinking of Jayne Mansfield about now.
	4:46pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "The Girl Can't Help It" by "Billy Bremner" It's not this version, but when I hear this song all I can think of is that scene in Pink Flamingos.
	4:46pm Billybob: ↳ DJ Nico @4:40 That reminds me. I always wanted to recommend a song to Todd. It's called DV Luvva by a band called Me. It's got a great pop-glam sound, and was used in a HP printer commercial in the early 2000s. Totally a TOPT song. It's on Youtube if anyone's interested.
	4:48pm Gerry from Miami: @SQUINTS. I'm impressed by your mastery of French, mon ami! Don't step on any "merde chaud!"
	4:48pm Billybob: ↳ DanFA @4:46 The Pink Flamingoes soundtrack is great. It includes commentary from Waters, one of the funniest men in the world.
	👻 4:50pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Song: "The Creature From The Black Lagoon (demo)" by "Bi... Vocals sound a little like Rick Danko and Levon.
	4:51pm DanFA: ↳ Billybob @4:48 John Waters could read me the ITunes terms and conditions and it would be entertaining.
	4:51pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Back On The Chain Gang" by "Pretenders" great guitar!
	👻 4:52pm Bruce S.: ↳ Song: "Back On The Chain Gang" by "Pretenders" I forgot how great rhis record is thanks Todd
	4:53pm Cooh John: Speaking earlier of the the 17th state... O-H...
	4:53pm DJ Nico: 🎸
	4:55pm wildneil peace all: back on the chain gang is timeless.
	👻 4:55pm Squints: ↳ traven @4:46 Yeah. I'll be in my bunk.
	4:55pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): 👍👍👍Trouble Boys!!!
	4:56pm Fredericks: The Creature From The Black Lagoon Written-By – Bill Murray!
	4:57pm clarke: dave wins on that solo!!
	4:57pm Gerry from Miami: @Billybob. My favorite John Waters film was "Polyester." Starred DIVINE, the late TAB HUNTER, EDITH MASSEY and MINK STOLE. They handed out a "Scratch & Sniff" card at the box office with several "interesting" aromas, including stinky sneakers and marijuana.
	4:58pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ clarke @4:57 We all win.
	4:58pm rx "rexy" scabin: Off to see Hazel and Harvey. Thank you, Todd and Everyone.
	4:58pm clarke: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:58 sometimes!
	4:58pm DanFA: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:57 Stiv Bators of the Dead Boys is in that. Todd Phonic tie in. Pow Pow!!
	👻 4:58pm John L: ↳ Song: "Trouble Boys" by "Rockpile" Saw them open for Van Morrison. Not a great pairing;Van was dull and Rockpile left him in the dust. You could tell Van didn't want to be there. Also saw Rockpile at Heatwave Festival in 1980.
	4:59pm clarke: van never wants to be ANYwhere!
	5:00pm DanFA: ↳ John L @4:58 Van Morrison is one of the most overrated artists I've ever heard.
	5:00pm clarke: ↳ DanFA @5:00 i find him vastly underrated. so there!
	👻 5:01pm Squints: ↳ clarke @4:59 I do find it curious how many of those folks in that line of work are somewhat agoraphobic. Or at least agoraverse.
	5:01pm clarke: ↳ Squints @5:01 i'm getting to be that way, myself, sorta.
	👻 5:02pm Squints: ↳ clarke @5:01 It's weird. I like being out and among and am simultaneously as often as not the quietest fella in the room.
	5:02pm clarke: rockin' sidney!
	👻 5:03pm Bruce S.: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:57 I remember that! it was so much fun to get that card with scratch and sniff aromas, man I love to say scretch and sniff
	5:03pm clarke: ↳ Squints @5:02 i used to be the prior, and now seem to be the ladder.
	5:04pm Gerry from Miami: @DanFA. VAN the MAN has had a very long and inconsistent career. But at his best, simply a classic all-time talent. The night I saw him, he performed mostly with his back to the audience and smoking incessantly. He, like ANDY PARTEIDGE of XTC, suffers from a profound case of stage fright.
	5:04pm Fredericks: Not that long ago, I listened to Rockpile's 1978 show where Keith Richard joined them at the end. Bottom Line, I believe. Love them live.
	👻 5:04pm Bruce S.: ↳ Bruce S. @5:03 scratch man those edibles are effecting my motor functions as my teachers said they would
	5:05pm Billybob: ↳ DanFA @4:51 One Christmas, he sent out personalized Christmas cards to friends using a pic of Steve Buscemi on the front of the card.
	5:05pm clarke: ↳ clarke @5:03 [sic]
	👻 5:06pm Bruce S.: God Damn this a really great set Todd POW POW POW
	👻 5:06pm Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @5:04 Cases in point. They are somehow compelled to choose the profession (for which I am quite grateful) and still have trouble in front of people.
	5:08pm clarke: 'e's a right ol' sort, that Billy!!!
	5:08pm Roy_Santiago: Hello from Holland!
	👻 5:08pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Song: "A Mess Of Blues" by "Rockpile" From the King Biscuit days!
	5:09pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Roy_Santiago @5:08 Welcome aboard The Todd-O-Phonic Train!
	5:09pm Billybob: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:57 Polyester was great, but my fave was Pink Flamingos. They played it at Trenton State College the first month I was there. When the flyer said that barf bags were gonna be handed out, I knew I had to go. I was not disappointed. Somewhere in storage, I still have both that barf bag and the Odorama card.
	5:09pm clarke: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:09 where's u find the king biscuit?
	👻 5:10pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Roy_Santiago @5:08 waddup 🤪
	5:11pm Roy_Santiago: My pubrock radar went off so I went looking what all the fuzz is about.
	5:13pm Sufferwords: RAJI's!!!!
	👻 5:16pm Bruce S.: my father's place? does that still exist?
	👻 5:17pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Bruce S. @5:16 In Roslyn NY?
	5:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Bruce S. @5:16 It's still in Roslyn, but in a new location in a fancy hotel I believe. They re-opened it awhile back.
	👻 5:19pm Bruce S.: ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @5:17 I think I heard of bands playing my father's place when I was a teenager
	5:19pm traven: Imagine if Todd could arrange an interview with David Edmonds. (We can only hope).
	5:22pm traven: ↳ traven @5:19 *Dave.
	👻 5:23pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Bruce S. @5:19 Absolutely!
	5:24pm Roy_Santiago: *munds 😂
	5:26pm traven: ↳ Roy_Santiago @5:24 Indeed!
	5:26pm Billybob: I see there's a British philosopher named David Edmonds. Maybe Todd could arrange an interview with him.
	5:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I have had no luck trying to get Dave to come on the show but I've been told his ex-wife is quite entertaining and have been thinking of chatting with her.
	5:31pm DanFA: Did The Replacements cover Trouble Boys? I'm only thinking of that because that was the title of the book about them.
	5:31pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ DanFA @5:31 They often performed it live.
	5:32pm clarke: yep
	5:32pm DanFA: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:31 Thank you, Todd.
	5:33pm clarke: ↳ Song: "The Billy Bremner interview" "i'll go on forever" - love that!!
	👻 5:33pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ DanFA @5:31 They were the trouble boys. They covered it along with probably hundreds of other songs, part of their live shows.
	👻 5:33pm Bruce S.: wow the sex pistols must have shook up the whole Brit pub rock scene
	👻 5:34pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Bruce S. @5:33 Just ask Dire Straits!
	5:34pm Sylvia's Mother: I was just thinking how nobody covers "Annie Is Back"!
	5:35pm DJ Nico: Great interview, Todd!
	5:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Nico!
	5:37pm clarke: ↳ Song: "The Billy Bremner interview" great interview!! i have some buddies who acted as billy bremner's back-up band on a japan tour, they said he is a wonderful human being and the interview confirms!!
	👻 5:38pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Song: "The Billy Bremner interview" That was great, Todd! Thanks for inviting us all.
	👻 5:38pm Bruce S.: ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @5:34 I never really hear about Pub Rock as a precurser to british punk I would have loved to see Rockpile in a pub setting, like seeing the Heartbreakers at Max's kansas city
	5:38pm DanFA: Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. Great fucking movie. Doesn't get as much love as it should.
	5:39pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Help Me Make It Through The Night" by "Kris Krist... wow, sounds like a Farfisa organ on this!!
	5:39pm clarke: ↳ clarke @5:39 never noticed this, before!
	5:39pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Great Interview Todd!! Also, thanx for the tribute to Kris Kristopher!! I bought his 45 “If Loving Her Was Easier”
	👻 5:41pm John L: Kristofferson's first lead, Cisco Pike, is uneven but worth seeing. Harry Dean steals it and Doug Sahm has a funny cameo.
	👻 5:41pm Bruce S.: Kris was the happy ending in Alice Dosen't live here anymore
	5:42pm Edward: Great interview Todd and the set of Bremner-related music preceding it was fantastic. Kris K's death hit me in a way I didn't anticipate. He just seemed like an admirable guy in a lot of ways. He was probably a sexist douche in the way that a lot of rock stars of his generation were. Rita Coolidge said he was "a shitty husband, but a great man." Whatever. He wrote "Me and Bobby McGee" and that entitles him to immortality.
	👻 5:43pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Bruce S. @5:38 From what I've read you had this rising wave that hit very quickly. Meanwhile there were a lot of bands in the UK around London but they weren't all punk bands obviously but I read an interview with Mark Knopfler and he said just as they got signed punk exploded and they lost some of their footing. True though, you never think about what it must have been like to be in a pub rock band during the punk explosion.
	5:44pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Blame It On The Stones" by "Kris Kristofferson" Jean P. Shepherd used to sing that one.
	5:44pm Edward: Oh and "Sunday Morning Coming Down." The greatest song ever written about realizing that the life you're living is going to kill you and you need to change it, without ever saying any of that out loud.
	5:45pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: If nothing else, Kristofferson should be in the Songwriter's Hall Of Fame for "I put on my cleanest dirty shirt" alone.
	5:46pm Edward: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:45 Bingo!
	👻 5:46pm John L: ↳ Bruce S. @5:41 Since it was a studio film Burstyn and Scorsese were forced to have that ending. But the very last line, "I can't breath," makes the happy ending go down easier.
	👻 5:47pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:45 That's what great songwriters do - sing about all of us in our daily lives and we connect on it.
	5:47pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do... this might be my fave KK
	👻 5:48pm Bruce S.: oh man Todd I'm Crying, I'm Crying
	5:49pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Thank you Todd👍👍😁 This song has so much emotion!
	5:49pm DanFA: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:45 You're in luck: " 1985 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Kris Kristofferson" www.songhall.org...
	5:49pm traven: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:45 Nick Lowe used a similar line in one of his songs.
	👻 5:49pm John L: ↳ Song: "Help Me Make It Through The Night" by "Kris Krist... Well used in the opening of "Fat City." Great movie.
	5:49pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do... Not kidding...I'm watching an eagle soar in the sky outside my window...just now.
	👻 5:50pm Bklyn_Dutch: My Mom took me to see A Star Is Born with Streisand and Kristofferson, that was my introduction to him when I was 10.
	5:50pm clarke: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @5:49 wow!
	5:50pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): I wonder if Kris wrote it about Rita Coolidge?
	5:50pm Victrola Tom: Great tribute Todd! For anyone not sure who Kris Kristofferson was as a person, look up “the Toby Keith Incident”!
	5:51pm clarke: ↳ Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls) @5:50 he wrote it before he met her
	5:51pm Audrey from Colombia: RIP Kris Kristofferson, what a legend, country music is not that big here but of course he was very famous for a Star is Born with Barbra Streisand and I remember that song Loving her was easier on the radio
	5:51pm CTEmpress: I am all teary!
	5:51pm pp: HMMITTN song is great lyrically and benefits from so many interpretations, space for dramatic pauses, soaring or breaking voice, etc. Like Wichita Lineman in that regard.
	5:52pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends" by "Ronn... oh wow! ronniE!!
	5:52pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Thanx Clarke!!
	5:52pm DJ Nico: CT Empress, sending you hugs!
	5:52pm clarke: gatlinburg's finest!!
	5:53pm clarke: todd's hitting eastern TN western NC today!!
	5:53pm CTEmpress: ↳ DJ Nico @5:52 You meet the best people here!
	👻 5:53pm John L: I rewatched Lone Star recently and loved seeing Kristofferson play a mean S.O.B.
	5:53pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Great end to a great Show Todd!💜😘
	5:54pm DanFA: ↳ John L @5:53 Great movie.
	5:54pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends" by "Ronn... what a piece of songwriting that was!
	5:54pm DanFA: I always knew KK as an actor and it wasn't until the Ken Burns country music series I realized he was first and foremost a singer and songwriter.
	👻 5:55pm Bruce S.: Todd, hey,really great show today,as always thanks Todd thanks all, have a good one
	5:55pm herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "The Billy Bremner interview" It’s so cool to hear billy talk, just a regular guy. Thx for telling us of the shows he has.
	5:56pm clarke: thnks TopT!!! great live music, great recorded music, great talks.
	👻 5:57pm Bruce S.: TOP T! you're new name!
	5:57pm Stewball: Lovin this country ending this week…great show
	5:57pm clarke: i'm not a high bro....
	5:57pm Edward: Fuck Man. Tell me this song (Me & Bobby McGee) isn't a fucking masterpiece. Go ahead, just try.
	👻 5:57pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ John L @5:53 Same. When Treat Williams passed I watched Flashpoint. KK was a badass in that and he was good at that too.
	5:58pm clarke: ↳ Edward @5:57 JJ ruined it for me.
	5:58pm danny san: ,,,,good stuff today
	5:58pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks for listening everyone!
	5:58pm clarke: ↳ clarke @5:58 jerry lee resurrected it!
	👻 5:59pm Bklyn_Dutch: Cool show, ToT! Thank you for sharing.
	5:59pm Van Winkle ;-): Really "dug" your show today TOPT...and will be sure to check out that NOBRO tip for Else's bar/pub when I visit Montreal later this week. Hopefully they serve spruce beer too! ;-)
	5:59pm DJ Nico: Thank you Todd! xx
	6:00pm DanFA: Great show, Todd. Thank you. Have a good week. Pow pow!!

	3:31pm clarke: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:30 if you drop down to I-20 via the natchez trace - which is fun, you go thru there.
	3:31pm traven: ↳ clarke @3:30 In the times we currently live in, for many of us, it's a necessity.
	3:32pm Candy-O'67: ↳ clarke @3:31 Gotcha! Hey, my niece got her driver's license a couple weeks ago. Watch out! 😂
	3:32pm Candy-O'67: Awwww! Thx Todd!😘
	👻 3:32pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Cooh John @3:06 Altamont of course always comes to mind.

	3:41pm John: New York
	3:41pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): My favorite Squeeze song!!! “Up The Junction!!” “Thank You” Todd💜
	3:42pm Billybob: ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @3:32 I always likened the chaos at Altamont to the chaos at Kent State, the violence at both situations involving bikers.
	3:43pm Van Winkle ;-): Greetings TOPT et al from above the 49th. Looking forward to NOBRO's live set this afternoon...bien sûr!!!
	3:43pm Sonny Rickles: you da man!
	3:44pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Who is this “great” sounding band 2nd Grade????And where are they from???? I love them!!! Oh and I’m in Rock & Roll Heaven Todd!! …..a Jules Shear tune!!!💜
	3:44pm clarke: ↳ Song: "If She Knew What She Wants" by "The Bangles" bangles had a certain hand-motion whilst doing this song, live.
	3:44pm Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @3:41 Thanks, Clarke! ☺️
	3:45pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls) @3:44 2nd Grade are a current band hailing from Philly!
	3:45pm clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @3:44 what kind of keyboard is your main one??
	3:46pm Candy-O'67: ↳ clarke @3:33 Sounds like a good show!
	3:46pm morphe': ↳ Song: "If She Knew What She Wants" by "The Bangles" Making me think of the mandatory learned poem in Bklyn Catholic school '60s-'70s ... by the shores of GitcheeGoomie ... ??Longfellow??'
	3:46pm clarke: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:46 ah, last night? was all REM covers.
	3:47pm Mattynotimes: So good
	3:47pm Christina Ginger: ↳ clarke @3:45 It’s just a 72-key nord stage model with patches. I alternate between the organ and then an electric piano wurly sound
	3:47pm Candy-O'67: Hitting the highway again! See y'all at the next stop!
	👻 3:47pm Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey. powpowpow.
	3:47pm clarke: ↳ Christina Ginger @3:47 i have one of those, they are great! got a stage 2 from long ago.
	3:47pm Mr C: The best!
	3:48pm traven: ↳ morphe' @3:46 Are you a survivor of Catholic grammar school, too?
	3:48pm clarke: ↳ Squints @3:47 there 'e is!! back in the 'mouth!
	👻 3:50pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ morphe' @3:46 Gitchie Gumee is Wadsworth Longfellow. Bklyn catholic school kids raging in their school uniforms once they let them out of class - I remember.
	3:50pm DanFA: Was that John Peel?
	3:50pm clarke: ↳ Song: "If I'm On The Late Side" by "Faces" wow!! love this!!
	3:50pm Billybob: ↳ Song: "Thinking About You" by "The Wyld Gooms" Can anyone tell me if this band is old or current (or maybe both)? The sound and their album cover is 1966, but I see they're performing tonight?
	3:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Billybob @3:50 Current band out of L.A..
	3:51pm clarke: new band!
	3:51pm Gaylord Fields: I was thinking that this Nick Lowe song reminded me of "Please Please Please" by Ducks Deluxe.
	3:51pm morphe': ↳ traven @3:48 Our Lady of Angles = Bklyn... And HS too, but my HS was progressive = no uniforms, no corporal punishment, mass and confession not obligatory = Xaverian HS, Bklyn .... a lot of South American political refugees from Dictatorships as Lay teachers ...
	3:52pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Thanx Todd!💜 I’ll have to get on 2nd Grades Mailing list. I never get bored living on this Planet because listening to TOPT I learn about “new” GREAT Music as well as hearing “the best” older music!!
	👻 3:52pm Squints: ↳ Gaylord Fields @3:51 Ooh. I like that one.
	3:53pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Gaylord Fields @3:51 Never a bad thing.
	👻 3:53pm Squints: ↳ clarke @3:48 Yep. Had my post-drive nap and filling time pending headed out with She Of The Big Brown Eyes.
	3:53pm Billybob: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @3:51 Thanks, and wow! They got that garage sound down perfectly. At first, I thought they were the Music Machine.
	👻 3:53pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ morphe' @3:51 OLA and there was also OLPH and St Bernadettes. Xaverian was all boys and Fontbonne was all girls.
	👻 3:53pm John L: ↳ Song: "If I'm On The Late Side" by "Faces" I was across the room when this came on and from a distance I was reminded of Greg Cartwright.
	3:54pm clarke: ↳ Squints @3:53 Toffees lost whilst thy slept!
	3:54pm San Pedro Girl: Hey Todd and all!
	3:55pm clarke: ↳ John L @3:53 they live in the same town, or did. asheville is not much right now, sorry to say. also, greg has a house in memphis, which is where i hope he was!
	3:56pm clarke: or rather MJ and greg live in asheville.
	3:56pm traven: ↳ morphe' @3:51 Thankfully no Catholic HS. However, I had a fourth grade nun who was a sick vicious bitch. A few years later she was found out to have a brain tumor.
	3:56pm Steve Harsh: Looking forward to hearing from unsung hero Billy Bremner
	3:56pm clarke: or did. hope both are okay.
	3:56pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @3:53 Strong agreement here, Todd. Your show keeps pub rock alive.
	3:57pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ clarke @3:55 Greg was in Memphis for Gonerfest. His family in Asheville is okay thankfully.
	3:57pm clarke: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @3:57 oh good!! hope MJ was able to get out!! i think they may have been on the road??
	3:58pm rx "rexy" scabin: Good afternoon, Todd and Everyone. Yellowjackets are trying to join us on the porch.
	👻 3:58pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Adeline" by "Cowgirl" ⭐📢 now reverse
	4:00pm clarke: got to be the most devastating inland hurricane EVER??
	👻 4:00pm Squints: ↳ clarke @3:54 Thought I saw they drew. Although if they could only draw with Bournemouth they might as well have lost. Anyhow, things don't look soooo bleak as they did.
	4:00pm morphe': ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @3:53 Yes,,, I grew up first at 55th and 3rd and was OLPH, but moved to Bay Ridge so OLA .. all of my cousins were OLPH.. No St Bernadettes = St Anselm's, St Pats and my sister's HS up on 65 St ?? Fontbonne was Xaverians "sister school" but rich girls..
	4:00pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:00 if they drew, it was in the last few mins!! ??
	👻 4:01pm Squints: ↳ clarke @3:54 Actually they drew with Newcastle, which ani't soooo bad.
	4:02pm morphe': ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @3:53 my sister's HS up on 65 St ?? = Bishop Kearney
	4:02pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:01 newcastle def drew today! (everton)
	4:03pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:01 u got it!
	👻 4:03pm Bruce S.: ↳ Billybob @3:42 how did the violence at kent state involve bikers?
	4:04pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:01 yeah, looks like toffees moved up a notch!
	👻 4:04pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ morphe' @4:00 My father went to St Anselms (he was at 82nd & FtHam Pkwy) and my mother was in the parish of OLA (72nd & 4th Ave). I would've gone to The Fort (zone school) but attended HS of A&D in Manhattan so I missed out on all the love but not really.
	👻 4:05pm Squints: ↳ clarke @4:02 Yeah. Everton. Those are my guys.
	👻 4:06pm Michael C St Lou: 🔈🔉🔊
	4:06pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:05 yep! it's like being a saints fan.
	4:08pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Bruce S. @4:03 I was going to ask the same.
	👻 4:08pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ morphe' @4:02 I remember Kearney. Knew a bunch of teenage girls that attended. I recall Bishop Ford as well which to me was the first co-ed catholic school in the area.
	4:08pm clarke: tell that to the owl!
	4:08pm DanFA: Family show
	4:09pm San Pedro Girl: Hard to believe, really.
	4:09pm prof.fuzz in the fuZZZmobile: Free the meow meows!
	4:09pm The Spoony: Mon dieu.
	👻 4:09pm Bklyn_Dutch: I am getting a mashed signal, it popped up during Rex's show earlier and the bake-off, figured it was a remote broadcast.
	4:10pm StuartR: ↳ Song: "Set That....Free" by "NOBRO live on WFMU" Cool dedication
	4:10pm DanFA: These ladies are cookin.
	4:11pm Billybob: From what I read, bikers were the ones wreaking havoc in town and on campus, setting buildings and businesses on fire. It wasn't really the student protestors.
	👻 4:11pm Bruce S.: Rex once played a record which I believe was called pussy pussy pussy seriously
	4:12pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Set That....Free" by "NOBRO live on WFMU" It is pretty fascinating as to what "free speech" is allowed in modern times...and what is not. /⁠ᐠ⁠｡⁠ꞈ⁠｡⁠ᐟ⁠\
	4:15pm clarke: good playing here, NOBRO!
	👻 4:15pm Bruce S.: ↳ Billybob @4:11 I never heard that,I thought it was just a case of cold blooded murder by the national guard
	4:16pm Gerry from Miami: Yo, SQUINTS! Didn't know you were such a British football fan. Steppin'out with the Mrs. tonight, eh? Have fun and stay "semi-sober!" LOL!
	4:16pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @4:12 Right?
	4:17pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz in the fuZZZmobile @4:09 tell that to the owl.
	4:17pm Billybob: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:08 Also, to Bruce (I neglected to direct my last comment to him)...if you were around at the time, you might remember that bikers and hippies were opposite sides of the same counter-cultural coin.
	👻 4:17pm Bruce S.: NOBRO is a real rabble rousing band
	4:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Billy Bremner still coming up later in the program. WHAT AN EMBARRASMENT OF RICHES!
	👻 4:18pm Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:16 semi. I do have to be somewhat good tonight. On the pitch tomorrow at 7am. First time in three weeks since dinging up my knee a little bit.
	4:20pm goes211: Was just in Montreal…great biking/walking city!
	4:21pm Gerry from Miami: SQUINTS, you actually still pull on your cleats and kick the old ball around? That is cool, but as you noted, the ol' bod is a bit fragile when you get to be our age.
	4:21pm Billybob: ↳ Bruce S. @4:15 Another interesting fact was that many of the National Guard were the same age as the students, and even shared the same anti-war sentiment. But they were young and faced with a chaotic situation that they were ill-prepared to deal with.
	4:22pm clarke: and no crowd is ever completely innocent, either.
	4:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: We need to work on the idea of WFMU road trips. Would love to spend a weekend in Montréal.
	4:23pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Dominance and Submission" by "Blue Öyster Cult" playing tonight at GretnaFest!!!
	4:23pm Gerry from Miami: Speaking of BILLY BREMNER, one of my greatest regrets is that ROCKPILE only made one album.
	👻 4:23pm Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:21 Yep. Took a three-year break in 2018 (from just about everything but playing guitar and drinking). My Sunday morning pickup guys pulled me back in. I'm out of the goalkeeping business. Forgot three weeks ago and went down for some balls, which I know better than to do these days. Competitive nature gets the better of me.
	4:23pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: To anyone interested in the tragedy of Kent State I strongly recommend the graphic novel "Kent State: Four Dead In Ohio" by Derf Backderf.
	4:23pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Billybob @4:17 I was quite young at the time and don’t know about Kent State except about the deaths that resulted. In the case of Altamont it was The Grateful Dead who hired their friends, the Hell’s Angels, to provide security. The event had been planned to take place in Golden Gate Park. The Rolling Stone’s press conference announcing the show caused them to lose the permit for a free show, forcing the organizers to find an alternate venue.
	👻 4:23pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Billybob @4:21 Live rounds were issued and that was a terrible mistake of leadership (officer in charge?). Gas and riot bullets did not make a proper authoritarian statement that day.
	👻 4:23pm Bruce S.: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @4:22 yeah thats a capitol idea, or New Orleons
	4:24pm San Pedro Girl: *Rolling Stones's
	4:25pm traven: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:23 Did you get a copy with the bonus EP?
	👻 4:26pm Bruce S.: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:23 I read that Altamonte went on because Mick wanted to film the show and make alot of money on the film,it really should have been cancelled
	4:27pm Gerry from Miami: SQUINTS, that competitive spark can get you in trouble, that's for sure!
	4:28pm Cooh John: BÖC playing Ohio.
	4:28pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Dominance and Submission" by "Blue Öyster Cult" whoops, Blue Oyster Cult is playing tomorrow, sunday, in new orleans. or rather: gretna
	4:28pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): 👍👍👍Locomotion!! Dancing now😁
	4:29pm Gerry from Miami: TODD, the late rock critic LESTER BANGS called BLUE OYSTER CULT the best rock band of its era.
	4:29pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "The Loco-Motion" by "Little Eva" Handclaps are of course almost as welcome & fun as cowbells!!!
	4:30pm clarke: ↳ clarke @4:28 Foghat goes on before blue oyster cult!!
	4:30pm Billybob: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:23 Many of us young 'uns at the time (myself included) made the mistake of accepting the CSN+Y version of the story. As usual, things are more complicated than the fairy tale version. Whatever, it was awful, and should never have happened. Crazy times.
	4:30pm Gerry from Miami: LITTLE EVA was once CAROLE KING and JERRY GOFFIN's babysitter for their daughter LOUISE.
	👻 4:32pm Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:29 Did a deep revisit of the catalog during lockdown. Man, not just a standard-issue hard rock band. Those guys were kind of all over the place. I was pleased.
	4:32pm Gerry from Miami: @traven. Yes, with the EVERLY BROTHERS cover tunes. Great stuff!
	4:35pm traven: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:32 The EP was great. However, the full album was somewhat uneven, in my opinion.
	4:35pm Billybob: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:23 Check out the movie Gimme Shelter. You can see what happened as it happened. People at the time saw Altamont, along with the Manson killings, as the end of the whole hippie thing.
	👻 4:35pm Bruce S.: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:29 Lester Bangs wrote that Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music album was great after you've had a lobotomy
	4:35pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Might As Well" by "Raspberries" todd - does your scratch and sniff still work on this copy??
	4:35pm Gerry from Miami: @SQUINTS. Yes, BOC were REALLY talented! BUCK DHARMA forever!
	4:36pm San Pedro Girl: I was perplexed by learning that the Dead, after the whole Altamont tragedy went down, whoever was ultimately responsible, hired Stones’s then fired road manager, Sam Cutler—mind blowing.
	4:36pm Victrola Tom: Just saw a performance by the Chimps on their farewell tour! TOPT was once their sound man!
	👻 4:37pm Squints: ↳ clarke @4:35 Nah. That was the debut, wasn't it. "Fresh" was the one with the (there, I'll say it) pre-Travolta suits.
	4:38pm Billybob: ↳ clarke @4:35 Oh, I remember that. The Cramps had a scratch 'n' sniff label on their album Smell of Female, too. I recall it smelled kinda skunky (the label, that is).
	4:38pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Thanx Todd for recommending the Book, Kent State! I’d like to read the “inside Story.” What a tragedy that our own Government killed its own People over a peaceful protest about a War that the Government didn’t fully support!! Sad that so many died😢
	4:38pm Gerry from Miami: @Bruce S. Yes, Mr. Bangs never waffled in his record reviews. "Metal Machine Music" is a tough go, that's for sure!
	4:39pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:37 what's the one with strawberries??
	4:39pm DJ Nico: Hey hey!
	4:39pm clarke: ↳ clarke @4:39 i mean raspberries, ha ha.
	4:40pm Billybob: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:36 On the other hand, they did kinda save Mick Jagger's life. The guy that died had a gun.
	4:40pm DJ Nico: Luvvers any connection to Lulu & her Luvvers?
	4:41pm clarke: ↳ Song: "The House On The Hill" by "The Luvvers" badass!!
	4:42pm Billybob: ↳ Bruce S. @4:35 I bought it about 20 years ago, just out of curiosity. I immediately bequeathed it to a friend's 20 y/o son. He was thrilled. Go figure.
	4:42pm clarke: ↳ Song: "I Must Be In Love" by "Eric Idle & Neil Innes (fe... it's a goer!!
	4:42pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ DJ Nico @4:40 Yes, Nico. Her backing band although this 45 was recorded after they parted ways.
	👻 4:42pm Squints: ↳ clarke @4:39 The first one. "Raspeberries." "Fresh" was the second one.
	4:43pm clarke: ↳ Squints @4:42 of course, yer right!
	4:43pm Gerry from Miami: @SQUINTS. Are those pre-Travolta suits like the ones the ROMANTICS wore?
	4:44pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "I Must Be In Love" by "Eric Idle & Neil Innes (fe... The arc of history is long, but bends towards Eric Idle being the most talented member of Monty Python.
	👻 4:44pm Bruce S.: ↳ Billybob @4:42 It's kind of a timelessly weird, abbrasive album
	4:44pm CTEmpress: RUTLES 4EVAH!
	👻 4:44pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Song: "I Must Be In Love" by "Eric Idle & Neil Innes (fe... Billy must be coming up as he was playing Rutles guitar
	👻 4:45pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @4:44 early on.
	4:45pm clarke: the bread starts to turn to toast. again!
	👻 4:45pm Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:43 They kinda look like what Travolta wore in SNF. Except maybe not so, um, tight. Not nearly so leathered up as The Romantics. As an aside, those simple straightforward performance videos The Romantics did for "What I Like About You" and "When I Look In Your Eyes" are just Le. Merde. Chaud. Great straight-ahead stuff. Contenders.
	4:46pm traven: ↳ Song: "The Girl Can't Help It" by "Billy Bremner" Thinking of Jayne Mansfield about now.
	4:46pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "The Girl Can't Help It" by "Billy Bremner" It's not this version, but when I hear this song all I can think of is that scene in Pink Flamingos.
	4:46pm Billybob: ↳ DJ Nico @4:40 That reminds me. I always wanted to recommend a song to Todd. It's called DV Luvva by a band called Me. It's got a great pop-glam sound, and was used in a HP printer commercial in the early 2000s. Totally a TOPT song. It's on Youtube if anyone's interested.
	4:48pm Gerry from Miami: @SQUINTS. I'm impressed by your mastery of French, mon ami! Don't step on any "merde chaud!"
	4:48pm Billybob: ↳ DanFA @4:46 The Pink Flamingoes soundtrack is great. It includes commentary from Waters, one of the funniest men in the world.
	👻 4:50pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Song: "The Creature From The Black Lagoon (demo)" by "Bi... Vocals sound a little like Rick Danko and Levon.
	4:51pm DanFA: ↳ Billybob @4:48 John Waters could read me the ITunes terms and conditions and it would be entertaining.
	4:51pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Back On The Chain Gang" by "Pretenders" great guitar!
	👻 4:52pm Bruce S.: ↳ Song: "Back On The Chain Gang" by "Pretenders" I forgot how great rhis record is thanks Todd
	4:53pm Cooh John: Speaking earlier of the the 17th state... O-H...
	4:53pm DJ Nico: 🎸
	4:55pm wildneil peace all: back on the chain gang is timeless.
	👻 4:55pm Squints: ↳ traven @4:46 Yeah. I'll be in my bunk.
	4:55pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): 👍👍👍Trouble Boys!!!
	4:56pm Fredericks: The Creature From The Black Lagoon Written-By – Bill Murray!
	4:57pm clarke: dave wins on that solo!!
	4:57pm Gerry from Miami: @Billybob. My favorite John Waters film was "Polyester." Starred DIVINE, the late TAB HUNTER, EDITH MASSEY and MINK STOLE. They handed out a "Scratch & Sniff" card at the box office with several "interesting" aromas, including stinky sneakers and marijuana.
	4:58pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ clarke @4:57 We all win.
	4:58pm rx "rexy" scabin: Off to see Hazel and Harvey. Thank you, Todd and Everyone.
	4:58pm clarke: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:58 sometimes!
	4:58pm DanFA: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:57 Stiv Bators of the Dead Boys is in that. Todd Phonic tie in. Pow Pow!!
	👻 4:58pm John L: ↳ Song: "Trouble Boys" by "Rockpile" Saw them open for Van Morrison. Not a great pairing;Van was dull and Rockpile left him in the dust. You could tell Van didn't want to be there. Also saw Rockpile at Heatwave Festival in 1980.
	4:59pm clarke: van never wants to be ANYwhere!
	5:00pm DanFA: ↳ John L @4:58 Van Morrison is one of the most overrated artists I've ever heard.
	5:00pm clarke: ↳ DanFA @5:00 i find him vastly underrated. so there!
	👻 5:01pm Squints: ↳ clarke @4:59 I do find it curious how many of those folks in that line of work are somewhat agoraphobic. Or at least agoraverse.
	5:01pm clarke: ↳ Squints @5:01 i'm getting to be that way, myself, sorta.
	👻 5:02pm Squints: ↳ clarke @5:01 It's weird. I like being out and among and am simultaneously as often as not the quietest fella in the room.
	5:02pm clarke: rockin' sidney!
	👻 5:03pm Bruce S.: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:57 I remember that! it was so much fun to get that card with scratch and sniff aromas, man I love to say scretch and sniff
	5:03pm clarke: ↳ Squints @5:02 i used to be the prior, and now seem to be the ladder.
	5:04pm Gerry from Miami: @DanFA. VAN the MAN has had a very long and inconsistent career. But at his best, simply a classic all-time talent. The night I saw him, he performed mostly with his back to the audience and smoking incessantly. He, like ANDY PARTEIDGE of XTC, suffers from a profound case of stage fright.
	5:04pm Fredericks: Not that long ago, I listened to Rockpile's 1978 show where Keith Richard joined them at the end. Bottom Line, I believe. Love them live.
	👻 5:04pm Bruce S.: ↳ Bruce S. @5:03 scratch man those edibles are effecting my motor functions as my teachers said they would
	5:05pm Billybob: ↳ DanFA @4:51 One Christmas, he sent out personalized Christmas cards to friends using a pic of Steve Buscemi on the front of the card.
	5:05pm clarke: ↳ clarke @5:03 [sic]
	👻 5:06pm Bruce S.: God Damn this a really great set Todd POW POW POW
	👻 5:06pm Squints: ↳ Gerry from Miami @5:04 Cases in point. They are somehow compelled to choose the profession (for which I am quite grateful) and still have trouble in front of people.
	5:08pm clarke: 'e's a right ol' sort, that Billy!!!
	5:08pm Roy_Santiago: Hello from Holland!
	👻 5:08pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Song: "A Mess Of Blues" by "Rockpile" From the King Biscuit days!
	5:09pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Roy_Santiago @5:08 Welcome aboard The Todd-O-Phonic Train!
	5:09pm Billybob: ↳ Gerry from Miami @4:57 Polyester was great, but my fave was Pink Flamingos. They played it at Trenton State College the first month I was there. When the flyer said that barf bags were gonna be handed out, I knew I had to go. I was not disappointed. Somewhere in storage, I still have both that barf bag and the Odorama card.
	5:09pm clarke: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:09 where's u find the king biscuit?
	👻 5:10pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Roy_Santiago @5:08 waddup 🤪

	👻 5:17pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Bruce S. @5:16 In Roslyn NY?
	5:18pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Bruce S. @5:16 It's still in Roslyn, but in a new location in a fancy hotel I believe. They re-opened it awhile back.

	👻 5:23pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Bruce S. @5:19 Absolutely!
	5:24pm Roy_Santiago: *munds 😂
	5:26pm traven: ↳ Roy_Santiago @5:24 Indeed!
	5:26pm Billybob: I see there's a British philosopher named David Edmonds. Maybe Todd could arrange an interview with him.
	5:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I have had no luck trying to get Dave to come on the show but I've been told his ex-wife is quite entertaining and have been thinking of chatting with her.
	5:31pm DanFA: Did The Replacements cover Trouble Boys? I'm only thinking of that because that was the title of the book about them.
	5:31pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ DanFA @5:31 They often performed it live.
	5:32pm clarke: yep
	5:32pm DanFA: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:31 Thank you, Todd.
	5:33pm clarke: ↳ Song: "The Billy Bremner interview" "i'll go on forever" - love that!!
	👻 5:33pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ DanFA @5:31 They were the trouble boys. They covered it along with probably hundreds of other songs, part of their live shows.
	👻 5:33pm Bruce S.: wow the sex pistols must have shook up the whole Brit pub rock scene
	👻 5:34pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Bruce S. @5:33 Just ask Dire Straits!
	5:34pm Sylvia's Mother: I was just thinking how nobody covers "Annie Is Back"!
	5:35pm DJ Nico: Great interview, Todd!
	5:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Nico!
	5:37pm clarke: ↳ Song: "The Billy Bremner interview" great interview!! i have some buddies who acted as billy bremner's back-up band on a japan tour, they said he is a wonderful human being and the interview confirms!!
	👻 5:38pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Song: "The Billy Bremner interview" That was great, Todd! Thanks for inviting us all.
	👻 5:38pm Bruce S.: ↳ Bklyn_Dutch @5:34 I never really hear about Pub Rock as a precurser to british punk I would have loved to see Rockpile in a pub setting, like seeing the Heartbreakers at Max's kansas city
	5:38pm DanFA: Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. Great fucking movie. Doesn't get as much love as it should.
	5:39pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Help Me Make It Through The Night" by "Kris Krist... wow, sounds like a Farfisa organ on this!!
	5:39pm clarke: ↳ clarke @5:39 never noticed this, before!
	5:39pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Great Interview Todd!! Also, thanx for the tribute to Kris Kristopher!! I bought his 45 “If Loving Her Was Easier”
	👻 5:41pm John L: Kristofferson's first lead, Cisco Pike, is uneven but worth seeing. Harry Dean steals it and Doug Sahm has a funny cameo.
	👻 5:41pm Bruce S.: Kris was the happy ending in Alice Dosen't live here anymore
	5:42pm Edward: Great interview Todd and the set of Bremner-related music preceding it was fantastic. Kris K's death hit me in a way I didn't anticipate. He just seemed like an admirable guy in a lot of ways. He was probably a sexist douche in the way that a lot of rock stars of his generation were. Rita Coolidge said he was "a shitty husband, but a great man." Whatever. He wrote "Me and Bobby McGee" and that entitles him to immortality.
	👻 5:43pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Bruce S. @5:38 From what I've read you had this rising wave that hit very quickly. Meanwhile there were a lot of bands in the UK around London but they weren't all punk bands obviously but I read an interview with Mark Knopfler and he said just as they got signed punk exploded and they lost some of their footing. True though, you never think about what it must have been like to be in a pub rock band during the punk explosion.
	5:44pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Blame It On The Stones" by "Kris Kristofferson" Jean P. Shepherd used to sing that one.
	5:44pm Edward: Oh and "Sunday Morning Coming Down." The greatest song ever written about realizing that the life you're living is going to kill you and you need to change it, without ever saying any of that out loud.
	5:45pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: If nothing else, Kristofferson should be in the Songwriter's Hall Of Fame for "I put on my cleanest dirty shirt" alone.
	5:46pm Edward: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:45 Bingo!
	👻 5:46pm John L: ↳ Bruce S. @5:41 Since it was a studio film Burstyn and Scorsese were forced to have that ending. But the very last line, "I can't breath," makes the happy ending go down easier.
	👻 5:47pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:45 That's what great songwriters do - sing about all of us in our daily lives and we connect on it.
	5:47pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do... this might be my fave KK
	👻 5:48pm Bruce S.: oh man Todd I'm Crying, I'm Crying
	5:49pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Thank you Todd👍👍😁 This song has so much emotion!
	5:49pm DanFA: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:45 You're in luck: " 1985 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Kris Kristofferson" www.songhall.org...
	5:49pm traven: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @5:45 Nick Lowe used a similar line in one of his songs.
	👻 5:49pm John L: ↳ Song: "Help Me Make It Through The Night" by "Kris Krist... Well used in the opening of "Fat City." Great movie.
	5:49pm Van Winkle ;-): ↳ Song: "Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do... Not kidding...I'm watching an eagle soar in the sky outside my window...just now.
	👻 5:50pm Bklyn_Dutch: My Mom took me to see A Star Is Born with Streisand and Kristofferson, that was my introduction to him when I was 10.
	5:50pm clarke: ↳ Van Winkle ;-) @5:49 wow!
	5:50pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): I wonder if Kris wrote it about Rita Coolidge?
	5:50pm Victrola Tom: Great tribute Todd! For anyone not sure who Kris Kristofferson was as a person, look up “the Toby Keith Incident”!
	5:51pm clarke: ↳ Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls) @5:50 he wrote it before he met her
	5:51pm Audrey from Colombia: RIP Kris Kristofferson, what a legend, country music is not that big here but of course he was very famous for a Star is Born with Barbra Streisand and I remember that song Loving her was easier on the radio
	5:51pm CTEmpress: I am all teary!
	5:51pm pp: HMMITTN song is great lyrically and benefits from so many interpretations, space for dramatic pauses, soaring or breaking voice, etc. Like Wichita Lineman in that regard.
	5:52pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends" by "Ronn... oh wow! ronniE!!
	5:52pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Thanx Clarke!!
	5:52pm DJ Nico: CT Empress, sending you hugs!
	5:52pm clarke: gatlinburg's finest!!
	5:53pm clarke: todd's hitting eastern TN western NC today!!
	5:53pm CTEmpress: ↳ DJ Nico @5:52 You meet the best people here!
	👻 5:53pm John L: I rewatched Lone Star recently and loved seeing Kristofferson play a mean S.O.B.
	5:53pm Roxy🎸(The Catholic Girls): Great end to a great Show Todd!💜😘
	5:54pm DanFA: ↳ John L @5:53 Great movie.
	5:54pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends" by "Ronn... what a piece of songwriting that was!
	5:54pm DanFA: I always knew KK as an actor and it wasn't until the Ken Burns country music series I realized he was first and foremost a singer and songwriter.
	👻 5:55pm Bruce S.: Todd, hey,really great show today,as always thanks Todd thanks all, have a good one
	5:55pm herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "The Billy Bremner interview" It’s so cool to hear billy talk, just a regular guy. Thx for telling us of the shows he has.

	👻 5:57pm Bruce S.: TOP T! you're new name!
	5:57pm Stewball: Lovin this country ending this week…great show
	5:57pm clarke: i'm not a high bro....
	5:57pm Edward: Fuck Man. Tell me this song (Me & Bobby McGee) isn't a fucking masterpiece. Go ahead, just try.
	👻 5:57pm Bklyn_Dutch: ↳ John L @5:53 Same. When Treat Williams passed I watched Flashpoint. KK was a badass in that and he was good at that too.
	5:58pm clarke: ↳ Edward @5:57 JJ ruined it for me.
	5:58pm danny san: ,,,,good stuff today
	5:58pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks for listening everyone!
