  3:58pm
andy:

Does any one know if it is unlucky to not have eaten pancakes on shrove tuesday?
  3:59pm
Zach in Philly:

Chambers into Isaak -- YeeHaw!!
  3:59pm
Listener Dave:

I'm still waiting for the "Manilow bomb". Both Ken and Irwin have crossed that line before. Though I think Ken only played the jingles medley.
  4:00pm
Listener Dave:

Re; pancakes: Like all superstitions, if you believe it is unlucky then it is.
  4:07pm
Cubicle Carl:

You deserve a break today, Irwin.
  4:09pm
Wednesday Fan:

Welcome back Irwin! Will Wednesday ever return to Ken, Kenny and Irwin?
  4:11pm
Listener Dave:

You mean you can't cross a line to drop a bomb? I would think you'd ALWAYS want to cross a line before dropping a bomb.

If you really wanted to do it, you could just pull up a song from an archive, right? You don't need no stinkin' library, do you?
  4:23pm
Zach in Philly:

Dig that twang in "Since She Started to Ride"! Sweet music to my ears -- thank you, thank you, thank you~
  4:24pm
Chance From That Third World Country, Maine:

  4:25pm
Sean Daily:

  4:26pm
Chance From That Third World Country, Maine:

I know that I like "Time to Pretend." My opinion on MGMT is still forming.
  4:28pm
Chance From That Third World Country, Maine:

The Management
  4:30pm
Chance From That Third World Country, Maine:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MGMT

Well, they used to be known as "The Management". Maybe just "Management".
  4:30pm
Doug:

My old band was called The Management. We were on Smash or Trash on Scharpling's show years ago.
  4:35pm
Chance From That Third World Country, Maine:

Maybe that's why they changed their name.. :)
  4:37pm
fishmonkeystew:

In My Spaceship rocks!

Oh man, I remember that D van D episode. Dick's wife sings Calypso for Suburbanites -- well, why the heck not?
  5:38pm
burden:

oh irwin, where is the punchline, you would disdain quotidian muppets rocking out youtube clip,
  5:48pm
north guinea hills:

one ticket to the lake of fire for me good sir, i find this roy harper hilarious!
  5:50pm
abdul:

wait, this roy harper song is heinous and noxious
  5:51pm
north guinea hills:

i also find berhard gunter hilarious at the end of the day
  5:52pm
Sean Daily:

Funny, I just have this sudden desire to deck Mr. Harper.

But the better angels of my nature whisper, "First Amendment, boys, First Amendment." Everyone's entitled to their opinion, including the mouthbreathing yahoos.
  5:58pm
Listener Dave:

Great show even without the Manilow.
  8:59pm
Irwin Chusid:

Roy Harper writes a song about violence committed against innocent people in the name of Islam -- and for that Sean Daily labels him a "yahoo" and feels inclined to physically assault him. But Sean asserts his respect for "freedom of speech" (somewhat grudgingly it would appear). On the subject of Islamic extremism in its more violent forms, however, Sean has no comment, and doesn't appreciate others offering critical views. They deserve to be "decked." Why not beheaded?
  3:58pm
Sean Daily:

You have a point, Irwin, and I apologize. That was out of line. My only explanation - not excuse, but explanation - for such a comment is that I was having a bad day. Problem is, if Harper had been standing there, I WOULD have hit him, and things would have gone to a very bad place very quickly.

Harper does have his right to free speech, and I shouldn't have been so flip about it. My mother likes to say, "I disagree with him, but I'll give my life for his right to say it." That's something I thought I'd learned.

You were right to call me on that.

But I still think the song was bigoted. Not every Muslim is violent. If it were, and if every Muslim was an honor-killer and suicide bomber, then the streets of America would be awash with blood. Keep in mind that there are a lot of Muslims here. What I objected to was his broadbrushing the ENTIRE religion.

Or maybe I'm wrong, and I heard the song completely wrong, and I made myself sound like a complete jerk. Wouldn't be the first time.

Next time, I'll learn something from this, and I'll make my objections known without threats of physical violence.
  4:06pm
Sean Daily:

Actually, scratch that. I DID make myself sound like a complete jerk, no matter if I was right or not - kinda like all that righteous violence that Harper was objecting to. Oy...
  7:54pm
Marty Parker:

Thank you for having the courage to play Roy Harper's "Black Cloud of Islam". Those lyrics give me chills. Pay no mind to those accuplaylisters who get all worked up, who NEED to be offended, who wish to censor. You have allowed great art to stand by itself without apology. Go Irwin!
