Listener comments!
	10:10am Parq: Sean Daily's not up yet at this hour! Woo hoo! And Merry Christmas.
	11:48am Peter K.: Great interview with Chris Butler. But why, oh why, was Patty Donahue's name never mentioned?? I know she didn't write the Waitresses' songs, but she sure as hell SANG the sh-t out of them. A little tribute to her memory would have been appropriate, no?
	12:34pm Parq: I noticed the omission too, Pete. Just a guess -- they don't get along any more.
	12:39pm Peter K.: Eddie Cole! Far out! As many listeners probably guessed by listening to that track, he was Nat King Cole's brother. That's all I know about him. (Nat had another brother, Freddy, who's a pretty successful singer himself these days. Eddie is apparently long dead.) Thanks for pulling that one out of the ether, Michael. Oh, and FYI to Parq: Patty Donahue died in 1996. That's a long time to hold a grudge, if that's what Chris Butler is doing.
	12:43pm Parq: Did she really? Whoa. Be right back, I gotta look this up.
	12:49pm Parq: ++back++ Man, that's harsh. I'll hear their stuff in a slightly different light from now on. Thanks for cluing me in, Peter. Michael, the show's been a dream come true. And now Rex and Ter are on deck. Sure do love the Saturday before Christmas!
	8:05pm scott: I liked the show today, great lineup, itmade my holiday spirit meter sky rocket. Especially the whipper bros. visit form santa.
	1:31pm saianjuma1: Most recently-written Christmas Classic: 2000 Miles by the Pretenders? (1984)
