Listener comments!
	3:13pm Steve: Mike, You're not around too often but I love your shows, Steve (California)
	3:18pm Jenn: Hey, great set! Rock on!
	3:42pm Elias: Mike, you've got the Cherry Blossom Clinic fully happenin! That Cryan Shames song is even on Terre T's 2008 marathon premium! You are some kind of savant. As a dual Citizen of Canada and the USA, I would like to say that my heart was touched by the love.
	4:07pm Your name: Your comment: (No HTML, please)
	4:08pm Listener Jumpy: Needs some volume, please.
	4:11pm ScottC: Greg Kihn is a DJ in the Bay Area (KFOX) now. I'm not crazy about the AOR that they play but he's OK- good on air. Haven't heard the DB's in years!
	4:17pm Listener Jumpy: GK wrote a couple of good horror novels, too.
	4:24pm Thomas Demetrius Walls: That sounds Greek to me!
	4:24pm Dave & Pam: Mike- your show just happened to come up on our I-tunes library via shuffle...wow, love it and thanks.
	4:35pm John W: The Black Hollies rule and Mike Sin reigns!
	5:11pm DJ Terre T: U guys r cracking me up! Gr8 fillin - thx Mike& Sue! & yes I'm in a string bikini - but drinking somethng stronger than soy milk!
	5:12pm SueP: @TT - I hope that's a crocheted string bikini ;)
	5:16pm Steve: Rusty, dirty rock 'n roll, the best!
	5:24pm DJ Terre T: @Mike I'm listening from an undisclosed location- but let me say yr playin perfect beach music! @SueP Ha! I do have a hotttt crocheted bikini that someone equally hotttt made 4me that's in rotation when the 1 I'm currently wearing is 2 wet 2 put back on again. This one's green& white striped!
	5:30pm DJ Terre T: Wasn't Klaatu rumored to be a Beatles secret side project or something? What's the story behind that?
	5:51pm The Immoral Mr.Teas: This comments section is useless without pictures!
	10:54pm Bill Kelly: Klaatu was a Toronto-based combo whose music was compared to the Beatles in the 1970's. Their record company did nothing to dispel the persistent rumors that they were actually the Beatles, effectively torpedoing their career when the truth became known. The word klaatu is also part of the phrase "Klaatu barada nikto" that is widely acknowledged as having saved mankind from the wrath of the uber-robot Gort in 1951.
	11:36am JCJC: Artful Dodger! I like it.
	1:05pm Ronnie B: You convinced me to look for an Idle Race album!
