1:08pm Greg from Bloomfield:

ZAP HIM! ZAP THAT WILLIAMSBURGER!!!

1:12pm Me II:

Yeah, anything that zaps/wrecks/rex a burger like that works for me

1:14pm G:

only 6k away from 90% of the station goal. that can happen this afternoon! then it's just the final countdown to 100%...

1:18pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I think one of the lyrics during Billy Jam's show last night mentioned Fool's Paradise. No mention of fur-lined fallout shelters, though.

1:18pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Nothing short of alien invasion could clean out the hipster infestation on Bedford Ave.
I for one welcome our new little green overlords!

1:20pm Greg from Bloomfield:

@JJJ- Agreed. I look forward to toiling in their underground sugar caves :)

🌮

1:20pm Tony in Durham NC:

We are not worthy!

1:24pm G:

Could almost do a Chuck Berry impression to that last Timmie rogers number: "Drivin' along in my UFO ship, my baby beside me givin' me lip..."

1:32pm Dervish:

$5,000 in pledges and the station gets to 90% of the goal!

1:32pm revphil:

Diddy Bop was a street slang term that we used to say when we was teenagers back in the early 1960's.

1:33pm Debbie From Georgia:

A woooo ooooo oooo oooo ooooo ooooo oooo ooo oo!

1:39pm Rich:

Hear the Rebel yell by veterans. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/video/What-Did-the-Rebel-Yell-Sound-Like.html

1:45pm Ken From Hyde Park:

My dear mother in North Dakota has a lot of LPs and some 45s. The next time I'm out there, I should bring back a list of them and see if the station would like any of them.

1:50pm Ralphine:

Toody!

1:59pm Rb:

which Del Aires song was that?

🌮

2:03pm Tony in Durham NC:

I'm brewing some jazzman tea...wild...

2:04pm SeanG:

I done done it!

🌮

2:04pm Tony in Durham NC:

Shout out to Mr. Finewine from the tastiest town in the south!

2:06pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I see the friendship society color is green today. Little green men green. Nice touch.

2:09pm Mark Dillman:

Too sick to go to St. Patrick's Day parade so I am staying home and donating to WFMU while listening to Rex.

2:12pm ken in denver:

MacArthur Genius grant NOW!

2:13pm Juke Joint Jonny:

F.Y.I. Rex, the Ford Foundation DOES contribute to the program, passively, through their matching funds donation program. It's the wonder of non-profit slush funds!

2:13pm Greg from Bloomfield:

Wait, the "Horror of Party Beach" Del-Aires were from Paterson?! That just made my day.

2:17pm Pete from Boston (and NJ):

Oh man, I already picked my swag and cashed out, and now I see this. WFMU, land of constant desire.

2:18pm Droll:

Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and Ernie K-Doe: offbeat.com...

2:29pm G:

Page and Plant were quietly negotiating a settlement for appropriating and monetizing the musical genres of Ernie's grandparents' generation.

2:30pm G:

When the lawsuit breaks, ya got no place ta stay...

2:34pm G:

less than 1k now from the station's 90% mark. can it happen before 3PM? three mouse pledges would do it...

🌮

2:36pm Tony in Durham NC:

I know this is about Ernie K-Doe, but has anyone heard from The Black Pope this week? Just askin'!

2:37pm Uncle Michael:

Rex drops drops from the only Shelley Pope check I've heard *other* than the one everyone knows.

2:38pm Droll:

G, Ahhh, the good 'ol days when you had to learn to play the music you wanted to steal... Now YouTube is the only one left monetizing appropriated music.

2:43pm G:

Black Pope is pissed at this new Frances pussy with the girl's name. He's gonna give a dramatic recitation of that passage from Ezekiel 25 that Samuel L. Jackson liked, and then he's poppin' a cap in his Argentine ass.

2:44pm Uncle Michael:

Francis is a rootypoot.

2:46pm G:

@Droll: YooHooToob's motto is, it's our ball, it's our rules. They have a proprietary Algorithm of Unlove ( <-- cheesy 80s Yes reference) to flag little guys for catch-22 harassment. Welcome to life!

2:48pm G:

160 bucks from the 90% mark. One more decent size pledge, someone!

2:50pm Ken From Hyde Park:

From the "Why has no one thought of this before?" department, I see on TV they're advertising a dog bone waffle iron thing. Hoo boy.

2:51pm G:

85 bucks from 90%...

2:52pm Ken From Hyde Park:

The home page is reading 90% now....good job!

2:52pm G:

And 90% it is. The last 10% climb has commenced...

🌮

2:58pm Tony in Durham NC:

The END?

2:59pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Goodbye, Mister Space Man. Until next week.

2:59pm Greg from Bloomfield:

Congrats, Rex! Looking forward to another year of Saturdays.
