	12:06pm dan: Good afternoon all
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: dan!
	🛒 12:06pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "If We Make It Through December" by "Merle Haggard" Glad I made it in time for this lovely, timely tune.
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Bill! It'll be back this time next year.
	12:09pm Roberto: Wifi crapped out. Listening via me personal hotspot!
	12:09pm dan: Gordon Lightfoot's "Song for a Winter's Night" would be perfect for this set.
	🛒 12:10pm Alvy Singer: Hi UM!!
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Roberto! Alvy!
	🛒 12:12pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Here's To The Lonely" by "Jared Lekites" New to me--setting off my inner Marshall Crenshaw sumfin fierce.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: ↳ (Mr) Bill @12:12 Jared wouldn't be upset by that comment, methinks.
	12:13pm Webhamster Henry: I used to have a big collection of Fats - so delightful!
	12:14pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "The Girl I Left Behind Me" by "Fats Waller & His ... Greetings, Happy Friday, UM and All! Busy at work here. Reading about a mysterious disease in the Congo right now.... Loving this
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Marie!
	12:15pm KWilde: Good afternoon!
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: KWilde!
	🛒 12:15pm Franco Twinkie: Howdy Michael!
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Franco!
	12:16pm egould: Hi Uncle Michael! Greetings from Bucks County, PA. Wrapping up some business and heading to the airport. Your show is my soundtrack.
	12:16pm dan: Tonight is John Ford of the Strawbs at the Port Washington Library. My 3rd time seeing him live and hopefully not the last. Always look forward to seeing him perform.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: egould!
	12:18pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "The Girl I Left Behind Me" by "Fats Waller & His ... Apparently there's a traditional soldier's song called "The Girl I Left Behind Me" with completely different lyrics. I wonder if this was what Bob Brainen would call a songonym, or if Fats was just like, "Yeah, I know that one!" and made it up as he went along.
	12:18pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Boogie Nights/Groove Line" by "Heatwave" As not featured in the film Boogie Nights.
	12:18pm Asheville Jon: howdy kwilde, hope you're doing well and staying warm
	12:19pm βrian: "Oowah, oowah?"
	12:20pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @12:16 Nice! Unlikely I'll ever get that opportunity. Good musician. If I'm not mistaken, this here town I'm in might've had The Monks' biggest fan-base on the planet.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: βrian! Oowah, oowah!
	12:22pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @12:20 Would that be Toronto by any chance?
	12:22pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @12:22 You betcha!
	12:23pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @12:22 Canada is Monks territory from what I heard. Probably a lot of Sex Pistols hatred there, they'd rather have Johnny B. Rotten than Johnny Rotten himself.
	12:24pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @12:23 Sex Pistols were huge here! Quite a bit of God, can you please explain the Queen?, actually.
	12:26pm StringOFperils: ↳ StringOFperils @12:24 Can't vouch for the rest of Canada...no explaining Nickelback, for example...but now I'm being snobby...
	🛒 12:27pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Dancing in the Dark" by "Luiz Bonfá E Eduardo Lin... Wonderful background piece—Arthur Schwartz isn’t as easy to love as Porter and Rodgers, but he made some magnificent music.
	12:29pm TDK60: Congrats on the new human relative, there UM.
	12:29pm rw: Uncle! You’re an Uncle! Congrats!
	12:29pm Roberto: Mazel tov on Althea Esther, UM!
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
	12:30pm dan: ↳ Song: "Althea" by "Grateful Dead" Your brother must've named her after the song. Mazel Tov
	12:30pm still b/p: Congratulations! First Christmas for niece, but she'll be at an age where they stare at lights with a slightly scowly bemusement.
	12:31pm βrian: Got my favorite cat, Althea, from a recovering deadhead. Such a sweetie!
	🛒 12:31pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Althea" by "Grateful Dead" To me, this song is the apotheosis of personal sorrow.
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @12:30 Yep! Though she was referred to as "Begonia" in utero.
	12:32pm Marie in Chicago: Congrats to the Newmans!
	12:33pm StringOFperils: Actually, Dan, I lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, while the Sex Pistols broke, when I was about 22, and they were very important there too...to me at least. I was all for shattering the musical status quo. Rock had become grotesque. *Steve Jones and Paul Cook are gods.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:31 Huh. I hear Althea explaining the merits of love to a protagonist that believed himself immune to its charms...and he's getting sold on the idea.
	12:35pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:32 People would think that my niece Stella Rose was named for two Grateful Dead songs (Stella Blue and Ramblin Rose) but that couldn't be further from the truth. My brother in-law does not care for the Grateful Dead.
	12:35pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Althea" by "Grateful Dead" Althea is an unusual name I think. Groovy.
	12:36pm βrian: ↳ TDK60 @12:35 Marshmallow, yo.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I know someone that named their three dogs Althea, Cassidy and The Other One.
	12:38pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "A-You're Adorable" by "Beverly Kenney" tres charmante @)
	12:38pm βrian: "Elemental pee."
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Beverly was wonderful and lived a short, tragic life...sadly.
	12:39pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @12:33 The Monks were almost seen as a satire on the Punk movement because the members all came from a folk background. The same guys would also tour as High Society and revamp as a New Vaudeville Band type retro group.
	🛒 12:39pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:34 Okay, I'll go with that. But still, life lived barely. People who are chronically by themselves often come to very harsh conclusions to explain their solitude to themselves.
	12:40pm KWilde: Hey A Jon - thanks - doing fine back in NJ - cheers to you!
	12:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Althea" by "Grateful Dead" :-)
	12:40pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Everything Happens To Me" by "Chet Baker" Saw this movie recently, really stays with ya'
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:39 I've seen that up close. Yes.
	12:41pm dan: ↳ Song: "Everything Happens To Me" by "Chet Baker" I saw "Let's Get Lost" and while I thought it was a great documentary, I was left depressed knowing what happened to Chet in between when the cameras turned off and when the film was released.
	12:41pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:39 Hi Franco! Very insightful. I've seen that too
	12:43pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ dan @12:41 Yeah, it's sad. His addiction(s) are front and center--I mean, they defined his life so greatly it seemed. But he really seemed to enjoy moments, times
	12:43pm dan: ↳ Song: "Everything Happens To Me" by "Chet Baker" Siskel/Ebert reviewed "Let's Get Lost" and Siskel gave it a thumbs down because he felt that he didn't get anything out of watching a depressing story like Baker's and even thinking of him as a man of principle, when he abandoned his family to live in France.
	🛒 12:43pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:41 Totally relatable.
	12:44pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:43 I mean, he had interludes I think of intense joy and feeling
	12:45pm dan: ↳ dan @12:43 "A man of no principle
	12:45pm Mike Lupica: Ahhh, Beverly Kenney. If I can up the shmaltz factor here for a moment, she does the song my wife and I had our first dance to at our wedding.
	12:46pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ dan @12:43 I see their point but I still think it was great, though it took me a bit to see it that way
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:45 Which song, Mike? Mike!
	12:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:46 "Brooklyn Love Song"
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:46 Nice!
	12:48pm Marie in Chicago: Chet Baker was a really interesting person; I mean he showed that talent from such a young age and was clearly intelligent; and women loved him
	12:48pm dan: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:46 Ebert gave it thumbs up because he simply saw it as a well made documentary, depressing moments and all.
	🛒 12:50pm Phillippe: Howdy
	12:50pm dan: ↳ Song: "It Could Happen To You" by "Chet Baker" https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/lets-get-lost-2008 Roger Ebert revisiting "Let's Get Lost" 20 years after the film was released.
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: Phillippe!
	12:50pm Webhamster Henry: BTW, Watch the movie "It Should Happen To You" with Judy Holliday!
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:50 I've read the billboard.
	12:52pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ dan @12:48 oh, mm hm, yah
	12:54pm Marie in Chicago: One last word, addiction is progressive and I really think it took him over (Chet Baker)
	12:55pm dan: Did anyone see Beatles 64 on Disney+? A must see for the die-hard Beatles fan.
	12:56pm still b/p: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:50 Lemmon's first leading role. I like the whole opening park segment.
	12:56pm dan: A lot of music docs to see, Elton John and John Williams docs on Disney+ and Yacht Rock on HBO.
	12:57pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ still b/p @12:56 I really like Judy's voice!
	12:58pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "A.C.-D.C." by "The Parade" Donovan't
	12:58pm leshwatt: Greetings!
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: LW!
	12:58pm dan: ↳ Roberto @12:58 Don'tavan
	12:59pm Roberto: ↳ dan @12:58 Aye
	1:04pm Gerry from Miami: Hey, Uncle Michael! I hope you and the Hinky Dinkers have had the chance to see the 2015 Showtime film bio of Chet Baker starring Ethan Hawke. Titled "Born To Be Blue."
	1:04pm still b/p: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:57 Her "Born Yesterday" character...omahgod.
	1:04pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Brooklyn Love Song" by "Beverly Kenney" loved that
	1:05pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:04 Hey, that sounds really good. I think Ethan H. is really good and tends to choose good projects
	1:06pm leshwatt: Begonia :-)
	🛒 1:06pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Playboy's Theme" by "Cy Coleman His Piano & Orche... Playboy After Dark, of course. As a youngster I watched the later version staged at CBS Television City in Los Angeles. Mini skirts and bell bottoms collided with The Sir Douglas Quintet, The Bryds, Steppenwolf, and of cousre The Grateful Dead.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:04 No offense to what's probably a good suggestion, but I avoid biopics.
	1:09pm Marie in Chicago: @UM, I usually avoid biopics as well but I take every opportunity to give a rec to "Miles Ahead"--a biopic I loved about Miles Davis, starring and directed by Don Cheadle. (He might have written it too..). Ewan MacGregor is in it too
	1:10pm Gerry from Miami: The only other ALTHEA I have ever heard of is the great tennis and golf star, ALTHEA GIBSON. She won several Grand Slams in tennis in singles, doubles and mixed doubles, including Wimbledon and the US Open. She is credited with breaking the color barrier in womens' professional sports.
	🛒 1:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:06 ~Good ♀︎Friday FMUvianz~ ...Bobby Weir famously saying the set was conspicuously phony - the stereo knobs went to nothing. The books not worth stealing ...but hell BarbieBenton. There's a very young Althea where I werk @ a CoOp. Like the one other Rawker on staff. Very kewl ! ...didn't know might be a Dead name ! I'm still not a Head yet I guess...
	1:14pm Mike Lupica: Awww, thanks for playing "Brooklyn Love Song"! I stepped into a meeting just as it started playing, but it was most appreciated.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Rev!
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Mike Lupica @1:14 Happy to nod in the direction of you and your bride, Mike. See you in March?
	1:15pm still b/p: Althea Gibson was cast in a John Ford Civil War pic starring Duke and William Holden. Her part was....yeah, a maid in a southern house. She's not at ease in it, and who knows if the casting's intended appeal to audiences of color amounted to anything.
	1:15pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:15 Definitely.
	🛒 1:19pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:13 Actually, it was Tom Constanten who made those observations, but no matter. At this remove, that show is a hilarious collisions of mod-a-go go swingers and real San Francisco hippies.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:19 I understand that some dosing occurred...involving people outside of the immediate circle, and unawares.
	🛒 1:21pm Alvy Singer: Show is sounding great UM!
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Alvy.
	🛒 1:23pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:20 ...they say!
	🛒 1:24pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Nobody Knows" by "Small Faces" ⭐🥰❤
	1:24pm StringOFperils: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:20 No doubt somebody gave a dose, to the one they loved the most
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:23 It might be in Dennis McNally's book...can't really remember.
	1:26pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Giving It Back" by "Matthew Sweet" Has anyone gotten any recent updates on Matthew's health?
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Roberto @1:26 Nothing since October.
	1:28pm Roberto: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:27 Oy. Hang in there, Matthew!
	🛒 1:28pm PAULS: ↳ Roberto @1:26 Raised half a million dollars!
	1:29pm Marie in Chicago: killer show today
	1:29pm Roberto: ↳ PAULS @1:28 It sucks that this is how we have to fund our health care in the USA these days, but great to see the outpouring of support.
	🛒 1:29pm PAULS: ↳ Roberto @1:29 agreed on both
	1:30pm StringOFperils: "His doctors have told us with reasonable certainty that Matthew will need to remain in the hospital's care until early December at the soonest when he will then transfer to home care with a professional caretaker."___circa Oct 24th
	1:30pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Giving It Back" by "Matthew Sweet" An album that lives up to its name!
	1:30pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ StringOFperils @1:30 aww, wow. I hope he can speak (and maybe sing again)
	1:31pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Nobody Knows" by "Small Faces" I've always liked that Faces song and that album.
	1:33pm Marie in Chicago: I love how Willie sings too
	1:33pm dan: 3 hours of versions of the following songs: Yesterday Summertime Like A Rolling Stone A Whiter Shade Of Pale
	1:34pm StringOFperils: The Devil's son-in-law? I thought that was Jared Kushner.
	1:35pm Will in Norman: searching for 'peetie wheatstraw discography' may turn up the info, just need to look down the list for that specific song
	1:35pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Roly Poly" by "Willie Nelson" And, actually my cat is kinda roly poly, and his name is Willy
	1:36pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ StringOFperils @1:34 hee hee hee
	1:37pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @1:34 Sounds like the name for a Bulldog or Mastiff
	1:38pm Marie in Chicago: Burke, Franco!
	🛒 1:38pm WR: Franco on line 4
	1:38pm TDK60: It's that guy in the pajama pants.
	1:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ TDK60 @1:38 Has to wear stuff that doesn't require ironing.
	1:39pm chresti: Uncle Hinky!
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Will! chresti!
	1:41pm Will in Norman: ↳ Song: "Devil's Son-In-Law" by "Peetie Wheatstraw (Devil'... released in 1931 as a 78 on Bluebird records www.wirz.de...
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Will in Norman @1:41 Thanks!
	1:42pm dan: ↳ Song: "Hold On, Dear Brother" by "The Beach Boys" The Beach Boys in their Eagles/Poco stage.
	1:42pm Gerry from Miami: I always thought that MATTHEW SWEET got short shrift in the four volumes of covers he made with former Bangle, Susanna Hoffs. Great stuff. Issued as a 4-CD set and singly as well. There is also a 2-volume "Best of..." Best wishes for Matthew in his revovery. .
	1:43pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:42 So easy to disappear when you're standing beside Susanna Hoffs. *swoon
	1:45pm dan: I follow a lot of Badfinger fan sites and there's mention of Joey Molland in the hospital right now. I just saw him perform in the Happy Together Show at Westbury and while he looked frail he sounded great. Best wishes to him and Matthew Sweet on their recoveries.
	🛒 1:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:19 Aha. Bobby quoting Tom on camera then or such. I remember it as Bobby... Who wouldn't give a dose to BarbieBenton given the merest opportunity....
	1:47pm dan: ↳ Song: "Kiss (Cha Cha Cha)" by "Señor Coconut And His Orc... Richard Thompson did a great acoustic version of "Kiss" on 1000 Years of Popular Music.
	1:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:42 I hadn't heard what heppened to Sweet-so sad to hear (got to see him early on, when he had Robert Quine on guitar accompanying him.
	🛒 1:47pm DjLorraine: Hello UM and shoppers
	1:47pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Kiss (Cha Cha Cha)" by "Señor Coconut And His Orc... Hey, Uncle Michael and all. No bad versions!!
	🛒 1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or Susanna or other stupefying brunettes that may populate the commentary @ any point here...
	1:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ dan @1:47 (I love his version of Oops, I did it again, same album...)
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: DJL! Andres!
	1:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Kiss (Cha Cha Cha)" by "Señor Coconut And His Orc... This is great!
	🛒 1:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe all we get here is Lucas. But ...the controls & the bicycle are authentic...
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @1:47 And Richard Lloyd?
	1:50pm dan: ↳ doctorjazz @1:48 That's right. Have the album on iTunes. When I saw RT do his All-Requests show almost 2 years ago, Oops... was one of the songs played. the only one from 1000 Years performed that evening.
	🛒 1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Still waiting for some solid DJ to present the concise exposition of the History of RobertQuine. That would be a keeper episode...
	1:52pm dan: ↳ Song: "Under The Rose" by "KISS" KISS in their wannabe prog rock perrsona.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: More didn'twannabe.
	1:54pm wenzo: Somebody probably said this already but today’s Bandcamp Friday
	1:54pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz. Yes, the "Boyfriend" album caused quite a stir. I played that one a lot, along with my MARSHALL CRENSHAW and JOHN HIATT albums. Underapprecited artists all!
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: wenzo!
	🛒 1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I guess you could say Kiss went their own way in Rawk & ShowBiz.
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: I could do a show of songs that mention other songs...such as this one.
	1:58pm Gerry from Miami: Is IAN HUNTER really 85 years old? Yes, he is! Cheers to one of the great ones!
	1:58pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Gypsy Wedding" by "Moby Grape" Wow haven't heard this Moby G. track in ages. Heavy bass sound.
	2:00pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @1:58 ...for '71! Out at the open mics, I do a cover version of another song on this slab, 20 Granite Creek.
	2:00pm egould: Stopped at the Jug Handle Inn in Cinnaminson, NJ. A vodka soda and some mozzarella sticks for the flight back to Seattle. Cool roadhouse place.
	🛒 2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @2:00 Geez. I don't know about this @ all : en.wikipedia.org... ...& it's got SkipSpence !
	🛒 2:04pm CHUCK ROAST: Holy moley, Unk, it may be just as chilly and barren here in Glen Burnie, Maryland as it is out there on the Prairie yet naught may deter a single man from the enchantments of a Friday evening. I have about an hour left of work to do this p.m. but but I do detect something in the air. It smells like the weekend is coming.
	2:05pm dan: ↳ Song: "Walking With A Mountain" by "Mott The Hoople" Mad Shadows was the original title of Steve Winwood's self-titled album, but when Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood came back into the fold. the solo albm was scrapped and the title was changed to "John Barleycorn Must Die". Guy Stevens later gave "Mad Shadows" to Mott The Hoople.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Chuck!
	2:08pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:03 I would suggest that anyone would be wise to take anything ever stated by both Richard Meltzer and Robert Christgau with a grain of salt. They (cleverly, I think) tended to make provocative statements that sometimes bordered on pranks, in keeping with the Lester Bangs template. **the essential message is,'Hey kid, wake up and think. Use your head. Don't just passively listen to guys like me. Wise up."
	2:12pm Gerry from Miami: Jackie DeShannon shares a trait with Carole King. Both are decent singers, but stellar song WRITERS. A look at the lists of their compositions is humbling!
	2:12pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:03 Hi Revrabbit. Not a great album maybe. But still, some good cuts.
	2:13pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @2:08 Thick as a Brick [Reprise, 1972] Ian Anderson is the type of guy who'll tell you on one album that a whole side is one theme and then tell you on the next that the whole album is one song. The usual shit--rock (getting heavier), folk (getting feyer), classical (getting schlockier), flute (getting better because it has no choice), words. C- Christgau obviously didn't realize that he and every critic was being trolled because that was Ian Anderson's entire point, to pervert the prog rock genre and mess with their minds.
	2:14pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Baila Mi Cumbia" by "Alberto Pedraza" This is warming the cockles. So good!
	2:15pm dan: On the Threshold of a Dream [Deram, 1969] Rod McKuen out of Ray Conniff with assists by Hugo Montenegro and Bob Crewe. Ugh. D- Another time Christgau tried to sound provocative but really came across as a pompous ass like Winchester from MASH
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @2:13 Lovely of Chrysalis to bankroll an elaborate prank on critics. Must have been fun for the rest of Anderson's bandmates.
	2:17pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:15 Jethro Tull got the last laugh as their album went to #1 on the Billboard Charts and the band went on sellout tour after sellout tour, the rest of the band was fine with it.
	🛒 2:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @2:08 Rawk Critic as irritant. I realize this more & more about those early guys who are exalted as pioneering even the idea of anyone Writing about Rawk seriously... Being able to Write reasonably (or even very) well - & having an Opinion that should be honored are different skills. How often Critics even actually give attention to what they (supposedly) Review is a controversy... & then yeah - Christgau will come out with a pithy observation I even reference later... I suppose there is an anxiety built into being conspicuously Literary & elbowing into Rawk Culture that made them think offense was a good defense ...or who knows what...
	2:18pm StringOFperils: Bob Christgau's very smart. So is Ian Anderson. They both wanted to write. Neither had a Dr. Evil plan. All the blah blah blah is a prepostersous shit-show. The pseudo-science of connecting all the dots and lining out the semiotics is just a slug trail behind the moving artifact, the only real thing that's there. And the core substance that thing exists largely in the mind of each individual.
	2:18pm dan: ↳ Song: "Ghost Riders (Extended Dance Mix)" by "Tornado" This song has late 90s/early 00s Abercrombie and Fitch PA music here.
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: The idea that Thick As A Brick was created in order to mess with magazine writers is just ludicrous.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: ↳ StringOFperils @2:18 Amen.
	2:20pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @2:18 I'm going by the argument of an author named Tim Smolko in his book about Jethro Tull's long song albums.
	2:21pm Gerry from Miami: And when are those stone-headed folks at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame going to induct JETHRO TULL(and I might add, PROCOL HARUM)?
	2:22pm dan: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:21 And I'll also add. Emerson Lake and Palmer. HoF lost credibility years ago.
	2:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Want A Chance For Romance" by "Hector Rivera" This riff.comes from somewhere else, having trouble pinpointing it.
	2:22pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "I Want A Chance For Romance" by "Hector Rivera" For a second there, I thought it was Tuesday night again.
	2:23pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "I Want A Chance For Romance" by "Hector Rivera" woo hoo!--that would be my 2-word review for this
	🛒 2:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tho 'Thick As A Brick' & its protagonist & narrative could easily be about the paradoxes of being Smart & also into Rawk ...since that's my Theme this half hour anyhow...
	2:23pm Asheville Jon: ↳ adamdoesit @2:22 whew, glad i wasn't the only one!
	2:23pm StringOFperils: Dan, whatever works for you, works for you. Full stop. Art is a place for experience to happen, and that's YOUR experience.
	2:23pm egould: It just keeps going….
	🛒 2:24pm WR: ↳ adamdoesit @2:22 Tuesday night, 7 PM ET drummer stream.
	2:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:22 That's where I know it, ah!
	2:24pm TDK60: I forget what Thick as a Brick was about. I haven't heard it in years. Should I re-visit?
	2:24pm StringOFperils: Or as Tom Waits would say, truth should always be spelled with an S
	2:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: ""King David"" by "“King David” And His Little Jaz... Got to see Eldridge, late in his career, he had given up trumpet, was playing Dixieland Piano with a band in Midtown Manhattan. Was still great!
	🛒 2:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @2:24 ...not necessarily...
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: ↳ WR @2:24 What happened with regard to the Hector Rivera on a Tuesday?
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: ""King David"" by "“King David” And His Little Jaz... The drummer on this is Ed Shaughnessy.
	2:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:26 Knave uses it as his opening theme on Five Miles to Midnight.
	2:28pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "I Love Everybody" by "Johnny Winter" Johnny! The 3-side double LP. He also hated everybody, on the same slab.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @2:27 Hmmm...
	2:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Love Everybody" by "Johnny Winter" And I saw Johnny Winter in a double bill with brother Edgar at the old Filmore East...
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: ↳ TDK60 @2:28 co-rect
	2:28pm StringOFperils: Oh man, this JW album, and the original 3 piece band. Texas gold. IMO
	🛒 2:29pm DjLorraine: Splendid show Sir!
	🛒 2:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah dig JohnnyWinter.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: ↳ DjLorraine @2:29 It's what happens when I underthink it.
	2:30pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "I Love Everybody" by "Johnny Winter" I have to admit that I am not well-apprised of his work. I'm digging' this
	2:31pm StringOFperils: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:30 This Columbia album, and the one before it. Really good.
	2:33pm StringOFperils: Miss Ann off that album was the thing that originally sent me back to Little Richard. When I was a wee sprout, and not the gnarled effigy I am today.
	🛒 2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @2:31 'Progressive Blues Experiment' - early is good. Had the 'Johnny Winter And' album as a little kid - fond of it... There was even JohnnyWinter very early on he made these very R&B almost Fool's Paradise or WWOZ type sides or something. 'Gangster of Love' type trax... I heard - he got screwed on those & later disavowed them ?? Hardly ever hear those !....
	🛒 2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but I also appreciate Blooz & Gittar a lot. Cause infected by those...
	2:37pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:34 Rev - Yes that first Winter album is good. He and bro Edgar did a live album in 1976 - "Together." On it, they do a great rock and roll medley (some Little Richard in there).
	2:38pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ StringOFperils @2:31 Oh, thanks for that. I'm gonna check them out.
	🛒 2:38pm DjLorraine: The weather channel this week was showing Lawrence Kansas! I was day dreaming !!
	2:39pm dan: ↳ Song: "Let That Liar Alone" by "The Staple Singers" The unmistakable voice of Mavis Staples.
	2:39pm adamdoesit: I can't help picturing in-studio guests knocking on the window before coming in. Unless of course the studio is on the second floor.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: ↳ DjLorraine @2:38 Why?
	2:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:34 Yep. tPBExp Also good....I had some kind of stolen bowdlerized version of that on a cheap cassette back when I didn't have much else...and it gradually drew me in to a whole world. We used to listen to later-period AND albums and Saints and Sinners and such, but I nver felt they were as good as listening to JW just playing solo on Dallas or Be Careful With A Fool. That stuff is excellent.
	🛒 2:40pm DjLorraine: Snow?
	🛒 2:40pm DjLorraine: A neighborhood, quiet
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: ↳ DjLorraine @2:40 We did have some on Saturday. I fired up the snowblower!
	2:42pm San Pedro Girl: Hi UM and everyone.
	🛒 2:42pm DjLorraine: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:41 It was a sling app on roku, i think.
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: SPG!
	🛒 2:48pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Song: "Dr. Horowitz" by "Terry Melcher" Terry Melcher packed his bags just in time!
	2:48pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Circle In The Sand" by "Rickie Lee Jones" I liked this RLJ slab when I heard it back then, around '08. Revisit time.
	2:49pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Circle In The Sand" by "Rickie Lee Jones" A friend of mine loved her autobiography. Someone who was born to roam.
	2:50pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:49 I think I read it too... @)
	2:50pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Circle In The Sand" by "Rickie Lee Jones" I love RLJ!
	2:50pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ San Pedro Girl @2:50 Hey SPG!
	2:51pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Lullabye Letter" by "The Soft Machine" THIS…🔥🔥🔥
	🛒 2:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Lullabye Letter" by "The Soft Machine" ...'Silver Apples' went thru my head arf a mo...
	2:52pm Julie: this is groovy
	2:53pm dan: ↳ Song: "Dr. Horowitz" by "Terry Melcher" Sounds like a leftover from the Allan Sherman catalog
	2:53pm Julie: when Uncle Michael is done I'll be over hear, filling in for the Abitrarium todaywfmu.org...
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Julie!
	2:54pm Julie: Uncle Michael!
	🛒 2:55pm bradford: Many thanks, Uncle Michael!
	2:55pm San Pedro Girl: I can’t think of a project involving Robert Wyatt that I don’t like.
	2:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, UM!
	🛒 2:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tend to think of SoftMachine as sort of - 'dense' ? (Could they be Remastered ??) This is groovy... Imagining those shows with them & Hendrix & all that...
	2:56pm San Pedro Girl: Thank you Uncle Michael!
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone! See you all next week.. I may do a thing!
	🛒 2:56pm Alvy Singer: Beauty of a show UM! Thank you.

	2:57pm adamdoesit: Thanks, Uncle Michael!
	2:57pm Marie in Chicago: Thanks for another splendid musical afternoon, UM!
	🛒 2:57pm Brian in UK: Val Doonican 'Hello there Hello there' (Bonzoes' Intro & Outro')
	2:57pm StringOFperils: Thank you, Uncle Michael and everybody else too! Now...how best to rain Tull all over the all-request show...hmmmm....heh heh
	2:57pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Travelling Home" by "Val Doonican" There's a current folk-comedy act that makes the UK folk fest circuit: The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican.
	2:58pm dan: Great show UM
	🛒 2:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ UM ~
	🛒 2:58pm Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @2:57 They played Cropredy year before last.
	2:59pm TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @2:58 Ho Brian. For sure. Hee.
	2:59pm KWilde: Thx UM!
	🛒 2:59pm PAULS: thank you uncle michael!
	2:59pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Circle In The Sand" by "Rickie Lee Jones" That RLJ slab is a sort of concept album. Lyrics as if Jesus came back, was walking around LA if I remember correctly.
	🛒 3:00pm WR: Thank you! UM! Y'all be thinking about you Hinky Dinky Requestsa Laters
	3:00pm TDK60: Gracias, UM. Request is in!
	3:01pm Wenzo: Thanks UM!
	9:36pm Christina in Canada: in the unlikely case UM or a WFMU person reads these post-show comments, my son remarked on Beverley Kenney's voice too. Like UM and the documentary producer, he was gobsmacked.

	12:13pm DL in LA: ↳ Uncle Michael @10:26 What’s the deadline? Thanks!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 6, 2024

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	12:16pm dan: Tonight is John Ford of the Strawbs at the Port Washington Library. My 3rd time seeing him live and hopefully not the last. Always look forward to seeing him perform.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: egould!
	12:18pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "The Girl I Left Behind Me" by "Fats Waller & His ... Apparently there's a traditional soldier's song called "The Girl I Left Behind Me" with completely different lyrics. I wonder if this was what Bob Brainen would call a songonym, or if Fats was just like, "Yeah, I know that one!" and made it up as he went along.
	12:18pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Boogie Nights/Groove Line" by "Heatwave" As not featured in the film Boogie Nights.
	12:18pm Asheville Jon: howdy kwilde, hope you're doing well and staying warm
	12:19pm βrian: "Oowah, oowah?"
	12:20pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @12:16 Nice! Unlikely I'll ever get that opportunity. Good musician. If I'm not mistaken, this here town I'm in might've had The Monks' biggest fan-base on the planet.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: βrian! Oowah, oowah!
	12:22pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @12:20 Would that be Toronto by any chance?
	12:22pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @12:22 You betcha!
	12:23pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @12:22 Canada is Monks territory from what I heard. Probably a lot of Sex Pistols hatred there, they'd rather have Johnny B. Rotten than Johnny Rotten himself.
	12:24pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @12:23 Sex Pistols were huge here! Quite a bit of God, can you please explain the Queen?, actually.
	12:26pm StringOFperils: ↳ StringOFperils @12:24 Can't vouch for the rest of Canada...no explaining Nickelback, for example...but now I'm being snobby...
	🛒 12:27pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Dancing in the Dark" by "Luiz Bonfá E Eduardo Lin... Wonderful background piece—Arthur Schwartz isn’t as easy to love as Porter and Rodgers, but he made some magnificent music.
	12:29pm TDK60: Congrats on the new human relative, there UM.
	12:29pm rw: Uncle! You’re an Uncle! Congrats!
	12:29pm Roberto: Mazel tov on Althea Esther, UM!
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
	12:30pm dan: ↳ Song: "Althea" by "Grateful Dead" Your brother must've named her after the song. Mazel Tov
	12:30pm still b/p: Congratulations! First Christmas for niece, but she'll be at an age where they stare at lights with a slightly scowly bemusement.
	12:31pm βrian: Got my favorite cat, Althea, from a recovering deadhead. Such a sweetie!
	🛒 12:31pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Althea" by "Grateful Dead" To me, this song is the apotheosis of personal sorrow.
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @12:30 Yep! Though she was referred to as "Begonia" in utero.
	12:32pm Marie in Chicago: Congrats to the Newmans!
	12:33pm StringOFperils: Actually, Dan, I lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, while the Sex Pistols broke, when I was about 22, and they were very important there too...to me at least. I was all for shattering the musical status quo. Rock had become grotesque. *Steve Jones and Paul Cook are gods.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:31 Huh. I hear Althea explaining the merits of love to a protagonist that believed himself immune to its charms...and he's getting sold on the idea.
	12:35pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:32 People would think that my niece Stella Rose was named for two Grateful Dead songs (Stella Blue and Ramblin Rose) but that couldn't be further from the truth. My brother in-law does not care for the Grateful Dead.
	12:35pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Althea" by "Grateful Dead" Althea is an unusual name I think. Groovy.
	12:36pm βrian: ↳ TDK60 @12:35 Marshmallow, yo.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I know someone that named their three dogs Althea, Cassidy and The Other One.
	12:38pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "A-You're Adorable" by "Beverly Kenney" tres charmante @)
	12:38pm βrian: "Elemental pee."
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Beverly was wonderful and lived a short, tragic life...sadly.
	12:39pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @12:33 The Monks were almost seen as a satire on the Punk movement because the members all came from a folk background. The same guys would also tour as High Society and revamp as a New Vaudeville Band type retro group.
	🛒 12:39pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:34 Okay, I'll go with that. But still, life lived barely. People who are chronically by themselves often come to very harsh conclusions to explain their solitude to themselves.
	12:40pm KWilde: Hey A Jon - thanks - doing fine back in NJ - cheers to you!
	12:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Althea" by "Grateful Dead" :-)

	12:40pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:39 I've seen that up close. Yes.
	12:41pm dan: ↳ Song: "Everything Happens To Me" by "Chet Baker" I saw "Let's Get Lost" and while I thought it was a great documentary, I was left depressed knowing what happened to Chet in between when the cameras turned off and when the film was released.
	12:41pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:39 Hi Franco! Very insightful. I've seen that too
	12:43pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ dan @12:41 Yeah, it's sad. His addiction(s) are front and center--I mean, they defined his life so greatly it seemed. But he really seemed to enjoy moments, times
	12:43pm dan: ↳ Song: "Everything Happens To Me" by "Chet Baker" Siskel/Ebert reviewed "Let's Get Lost" and Siskel gave it a thumbs down because he felt that he didn't get anything out of watching a depressing story like Baker's and even thinking of him as a man of principle, when he abandoned his family to live in France.
	🛒 12:43pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:41 Totally relatable.
	12:44pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:43 I mean, he had interludes I think of intense joy and feeling
	12:45pm dan: ↳ dan @12:43 "A man of no principle
	12:45pm Mike Lupica: Ahhh, Beverly Kenney. If I can up the shmaltz factor here for a moment, she does the song my wife and I had our first dance to at our wedding.
	12:46pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ dan @12:43 I see their point but I still think it was great, though it took me a bit to see it that way
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:45 Which song, Mike? Mike!
	12:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:46 "Brooklyn Love Song"
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:46 Nice!
	12:48pm Marie in Chicago: Chet Baker was a really interesting person; I mean he showed that talent from such a young age and was clearly intelligent; and women loved him
	12:48pm dan: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:46 Ebert gave it thumbs up because he simply saw it as a well made documentary, depressing moments and all.

	12:51pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:50 I've read the billboard.
	12:52pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ dan @12:48 oh, mm hm, yah
	12:54pm Marie in Chicago: One last word, addiction is progressive and I really think it took him over (Chet Baker)
	12:55pm dan: Did anyone see Beatles 64 on Disney+? A must see for the die-hard Beatles fan.
	12:56pm still b/p: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:50 Lemmon's first leading role. I like the whole opening park segment.
	12:56pm dan: A lot of music docs to see, Elton John and John Williams docs on Disney+ and Yacht Rock on HBO.

	1:04pm Gerry from Miami: Hey, Uncle Michael! I hope you and the Hinky Dinkers have had the chance to see the 2015 Showtime film bio of Chet Baker starring Ethan Hawke. Titled "Born To Be Blue."

	1:04pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Brooklyn Love Song" by "Beverly Kenney" loved that

As a youngster I watched the later version staged at CBS Television City in Los Angeles. Mini skirts and bell bottoms collided with The Sir Douglas Quintet, The Bryds, Steppenwolf, and of cousre The Grateful Dead.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:04 No offense to what's probably a good suggestion, but I avoid biopics.
	1:09pm Marie in Chicago: @UM, I usually avoid biopics as well but I take every opportunity to give a rec to "Miles Ahead"--a biopic I loved about Miles Davis, starring and directed by Don Cheadle. (He might have written it too..). Ewan MacGregor is in it too
	1:10pm Gerry from Miami: The only other ALTHEA I have ever heard of is the great tennis and golf star, ALTHEA GIBSON. She won several Grand Slams in tennis in singles, doubles and mixed doubles, including Wimbledon and the US Open. She is credited with breaking the color barrier in womens' professional sports.
	🛒 1:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:06 ~Good ♀︎Friday FMUvianz~ ...Bobby Weir famously saying the set was conspicuously phony - the stereo knobs went to nothing. The books not worth stealing ...but hell BarbieBenton. There's a very young Althea where I werk @ a CoOp. Like the one other Rawker on staff. Very kewl ! ...didn't know might be a Dead name ! I'm still not a Head yet I guess...
	1:14pm Mike Lupica: Awww, thanks for playing "Brooklyn Love Song"! I stepped into a meeting just as it started playing, but it was most appreciated.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Rev!
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Mike Lupica @1:14 Happy to nod in the direction of you and your bride, Mike. See you in March?
	1:15pm still b/p: Althea Gibson was cast in a John Ford Civil War pic starring Duke and William Holden. Her part was....yeah, a maid in a southern house. She's not at ease in it, and who knows if the casting's intended appeal to audiences of color amounted to anything.
	1:15pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:15 Definitely.
	🛒 1:19pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:13 Actually, it was Tom Constanten who made those observations, but no matter. At this remove, that show is a hilarious collisions of mod-a-go go swingers and real San Francisco hippies.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:19 I understand that some dosing occurred...involving people outside of the immediate circle, and unawares.
	🛒 1:21pm Alvy Singer: Show is sounding great UM!

	1:24pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:23 It might be in Dennis McNally's book...can't really remember.
	1:26pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Giving It Back" by "Matthew Sweet" Has anyone gotten any recent updates on Matthew's health?
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Roberto @1:26 Nothing since October.

	1:29pm Marie in Chicago: killer show today
	1:29pm Roberto: ↳ PAULS @1:28 It sucks that this is how we have to fund our health care in the USA these days, but great to see the outpouring of support.
	🛒 1:29pm PAULS: ↳ Roberto @1:29 agreed on both
	1:30pm StringOFperils: "His doctors have told us with reasonable certainty that Matthew will need to remain in the hospital's care until early December at the soonest when he will then transfer to home care with a professional caretaker."___circa Oct 24th
	1:30pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Giving It Back" by "Matthew Sweet" An album that lives up to its name!

	1:42pm Gerry from Miami: I always thought that MATTHEW SWEET got short shrift in the four volumes of covers he made with former Bangle, Susanna Hoffs. Great stuff. Issued as a 4-CD set and singly as well. There is also a 2-volume "Best of..." Best wishes for Matthew in his revovery. .
	1:43pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:42 So easy to disappear when you're standing beside Susanna Hoffs. *swoon
	1:45pm dan: I follow a lot of Badfinger fan sites and there's mention of Joey Molland in the hospital right now. I just saw him perform in the Happy Together Show at Westbury and while he looked frail he sounded great. Best wishes to him and Matthew Sweet on their recoveries.
	🛒 1:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:19 Aha. Bobby quoting Tom on camera then or such. I remember it as Bobby... Who wouldn't give a dose to BarbieBenton given the merest opportunity....

	1:54pm wenzo: Somebody probably said this already but today’s Bandcamp Friday
	1:54pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz. Yes, the "Boyfriend" album caused quite a stir. I played that one a lot, along with my MARSHALL CRENSHAW and JOHN HIATT albums. Underapprecited artists all!
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: wenzo!
	🛒 1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I guess you could say Kiss went their own way in Rawk & ShowBiz.
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: I could do a show of songs that mention other songs...such as this one.

I have about an hour left of work to do this p.m. but but I do detect something in the air. It smells like the weekend is coming.
	2:05pm dan: ↳ Song: "Walking With A Mountain" by "Mott The Hoople" Mad Shadows was the original title of Steve Winwood's self-titled album, but when Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood came back into the fold. the solo albm was scrapped and the title was changed to "John Barleycorn Must Die". Guy Stevens later gave "Mad Shadows" to Mott The Hoople.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Chuck!
	2:08pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:03 I would suggest that anyone would be wise to take anything ever stated by both Richard Meltzer and Robert Christgau with a grain of salt. They (cleverly, I think) tended to make provocative statements that sometimes bordered on pranks, in keeping with the Lester Bangs template. **the essential message is,'Hey kid, wake up and think. Use your head. Don't just passively listen to guys like me. Wise up."
	2:12pm Gerry from Miami: Jackie DeShannon shares a trait with Carole King. Both are decent singers, but stellar song WRITERS. A look at the lists of their compositions is humbling!
	2:12pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:03 Hi Revrabbit. Not a great album maybe. But still, some good cuts.
	2:13pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @2:08 Thick as a Brick [Reprise, 1972] Ian Anderson is the type of guy who'll tell you on one album that a whole side is one theme and then tell you on the next that the whole album is one song. The usual shit--rock (getting heavier), folk (getting feyer), classical (getting schlockier), flute (getting better because it has no choice), words. C- Christgau obviously didn't realize that he and every critic was being trolled because that was Ian Anderson's entire point, to pervert the prog rock genre and mess with their minds.
	2:14pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Baila Mi Cumbia" by "Alberto Pedraza" This is warming the cockles. So good!
	2:15pm dan: On the Threshold of a Dream [Deram, 1969] Rod McKuen out of Ray Conniff with assists by Hugo Montenegro and Bob Crewe. Ugh. D- Another time Christgau tried to sound provocative but really came across as a pompous ass like Winchester from MASH
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @2:13 Lovely of Chrysalis to bankroll an elaborate prank on critics. Must have been fun for the rest of Anderson's bandmates.
	2:17pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:15 Jethro Tull got the last laugh as their album went to #1 on the Billboard Charts and the band went on sellout tour after sellout tour, the rest of the band was fine with it.
	🛒 2:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @2:08 Rawk Critic as irritant. I realize this more & more about those early guys who are exalted as pioneering even the idea of anyone Writing about Rawk seriously... Being able to Write reasonably (or even very) well - & having an Opinion that should be honored are different skills. How often Critics even actually give attention to what they (supposedly) Review is a controversy... & then yeah - Christgau will come out with a pithy observation I even reference later... I suppose there is an anxiety built into being conspicuously Literary & elbowing into Rawk Culture that made them think offense was a good defense ...or who knows what...
	2:18pm StringOFperils: Bob Christgau's very smart. So is Ian Anderson. They both wanted to write. Neither had a Dr. Evil plan. All the blah blah blah is a prepostersous shit-show. The pseudo-science of connecting all the dots and lining out the semiotics is just a slug trail behind the moving artifact, the only real thing that's there. And the core substance that thing exists largely in the mind of each individual.
	2:18pm dan: ↳ Song: "Ghost Riders (Extended Dance Mix)" by "Tornado" This song has late 90s/early 00s Abercrombie and Fitch PA music here.
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: The idea that Thick As A Brick was created in order to mess with magazine writers is just ludicrous.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: ↳ StringOFperils @2:18 Amen.
	2:20pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @2:18 I'm going by the argument of an author named Tim Smolko in his book about Jethro Tull's long song albums.
	2:21pm Gerry from Miami: And when are those stone-headed folks at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame going to induct JETHRO TULL(and I might add, PROCOL HARUM)?
	2:22pm dan: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:21 And I'll also add. Emerson Lake and Palmer. HoF lost credibility years ago.
	2:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Want A Chance For Romance" by "Hector Rivera" This riff.comes from somewhere else, having trouble pinpointing it.
	2:22pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "I Want A Chance For Romance" by "Hector Rivera" For a second there, I thought it was Tuesday night again.
	2:23pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "I Want A Chance For Romance" by "Hector Rivera" woo hoo!--that would be my 2-word review for this
	🛒 2:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tho 'Thick As A Brick' & its protagonist & narrative could easily be about the paradoxes of being Smart & also into Rawk ...since that's my Theme this half hour anyhow...
	2:23pm Asheville Jon: ↳ adamdoesit @2:22 whew, glad i wasn't the only one!
	2:23pm StringOFperils: Dan, whatever works for you, works for you. Full stop. Art is a place for experience to happen, and that's YOUR experience.

	2:24pm TDK60: I forget what Thick as a Brick was about. I haven't heard it in years. Should I re-visit?
	2:24pm StringOFperils: Or as Tom Waits would say, truth should always be spelled with an S
	2:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: ""King David"" by "“King David” And His Little Jaz... Got to see Eldridge, late in his career, he had given up trumpet, was playing Dixieland Piano with a band in Midtown Manhattan. Was still great!
	🛒 2:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @2:24 ...not necessarily...
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: ↳ WR @2:24 What happened with regard to the Hector Rivera on a Tuesday?
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: ""King David"" by "“King David” And His Little Jaz... The drummer on this is Ed Shaughnessy.
	2:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:26 Knave uses it as his opening theme on Five Miles to Midnight.
	2:28pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "I Love Everybody" by "Johnny Winter" Johnny! The 3-side double LP. He also hated everybody, on the same slab.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @2:27 Hmmm...
	2:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Love Everybody" by "Johnny Winter" And I saw Johnny Winter in a double bill with brother Edgar at the old Filmore East...

	2:30pm Uncle Michael: ↳ DjLorraine @2:29 It's what happens when I underthink it.
	2:30pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "I Love Everybody" by "Johnny Winter" I have to admit that I am not well-apprised of his work. I'm digging' this
	2:31pm StringOFperils: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:30 This Columbia album, and the one before it. Really good.
	2:33pm StringOFperils: Miss Ann off that album was the thing that originally sent me back to Little Richard. When I was a wee sprout, and not the gnarled effigy I am today.
	🛒 2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @2:31 'Progressive Blues Experiment' - early is good. Had the 'Johnny Winter And' album as a little kid - fond of it... There was even JohnnyWinter very early on he made these very R&B almost Fool's Paradise or WWOZ type sides or something. 'Gangster of Love' type trax... I heard - he got screwed on those & later disavowed them ?? Hardly ever hear those !....
	🛒 2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but I also appreciate Blooz & Gittar a lot. Cause infected by those...
	2:37pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:34 Rev - Yes that first Winter album is good. He and bro Edgar did a live album in 1976 - "Together." On it, they do a great rock and roll medley (some Little Richard in there).
	2:38pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ StringOFperils @2:31 Oh, thanks for that. I'm gonna check them out.

	2:39pm adamdoesit: I can't help picturing in-studio guests knocking on the window before coming in. Unless of course the studio is on the second floor.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: ↳ DjLorraine @2:38 Why?
	2:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:34 Yep. tPBExp Also good....I had some kind of stolen bowdlerized version of that on a cheap cassette back when I didn't have much else...and it gradually drew me in to a whole world. We used to listen to later-period AND albums and Saints and Sinners and such, but I nver felt they were as good as listening to JW just playing solo on Dallas or Be Careful With A Fool. That stuff is excellent.
