Listener comments!
	11:04am david: Ugh
	11:07am Marmalade Kitty: The harmony in "Oh Love Of Mine", sounds like Lennon/Mcartney
	11:14am emmagineering: hi michael, david, and KITTY :) it's a lovely fall morning here in Atlanta. windows open, listening to the show. wheee :)
	11:16am Uzzle: This song makes me want to smash something. Definitely NOT a #1 HIT, Miguel.
	11:18am Michael: Mr Lin - which song?
	11:20am ?: The Bobby Gentry tune.
	11:22am Michael: Wrong
	11:24am Lucius Tate: Listen buddy! I put pencils in my ears!
	11:25am Lucius Tate: Oh, and Mr. Shelley, I have to send you an mp3 of a song we just recorded that you might enjoy...
	11:27am Peter: Amy Rigby is the person we all hoped Liz Phair would grow-up into. Unfortunately, that's not what happened.
	11:31am Peter: Dave Edmunds has a great cover of 'Louisiana Man' on the "DE 7" album. Geraint Watkins plays some amazing accordion and piano. Straight from Wales to the bayou.
	11:36am Michael: Agree - Liz has disappointed -peaked early
	11:42am seang: Have you heard that Pete Molinari song, "Streetcar Named Desire?
	11:44am david: We're on a big time roll, now Michael. Keep 'em coming.
	11:50am will: Smithereens = Most wildly overrated NYC-area pop band of the 80s/90s. I can name 20 better bands without even trying. There, I've said it.
	11:54am Michael: Will - are you saying they are not good - that they have bad songs & play then badly - is that what you're saying?
	11:58am Peter: My 2 cents: the Smithereens are exactly the band they set out to be, and never pretended to be anything else. Also, when I saw them maybe 4 or 5 years ago at BB King's, it was one of the best gigs I've ever seen. 'Nuff said.
	11:59am Peter: So 'Sea Cruise' lifts Chickee Wah Wah?
	12:01pm steve: Wasn't "hiot me with your rhythm stick" an old RootBoy Slim song?
	12:11pm steve: Michael, what's the name of the Jorge Ben song you played? It's not on the playlist and I want to find it. Thanks.
	12:14pm will: Sorry tried to reply but I think someone censored me. Gee I wasn't that nasty. All I can say is find the first Cave Dogs record JOY RIDES FOR SHUT INS and tell me if anything the Smithereens ever did matches up.
	12:16pm PSS: Holy cow Will what will you day the rest of the day if someone doesn't agree with your opinion. Will you be OK?
	12:28pm #1 FAN: props for playing Beyond Belief. Love that song!
	12:29pm Parq: Always dug that particular Elvis song. It's kind of funny to hear Elvis and Ian in the same segment as "Peppermint Lump". I always associate "Angie's" song with my last days listening to WNEW-FM Where Rock Lives, in fall '79, when it was obvious that they would play anything -- anything at all -- to avoid playing the Stiff crowd and their contemporaries. It was right around then that I first heard 'FMU, and I pretty much told commercial radio to eat it.
	12:29pm Peter: Elvis Costello:Imperial Bedroom as Beastie Boys:Paul's Boutique Both albums are eternally 20 years ahead of 'now'.
	12:48pm david: Hadn't heard this BT song in year. Great choice, Michael!
	1:14pm Michael: I really like the Purple Wizard version of "I've Been Wrong". And the Buckinghams. But the Kynd version is pretty cool!
	9:36pm will: Thanks PSS, my day turned out fine while still confident that the Smithereens are 3rd rate also-rans. I remain yours, W
	11:37pm Mark Rosen: Great choice: "Hey Mae" by Les Cousins (their name in France where they hailed from). Check out Rusty and Doug Kershaw's orig.
