Listener comments!

1:09pm JohnP in PA:

good afternoon all-melt, snow, melt.

1:18pm ChrisB.:

Ed Lauter passed away recently.

1:19pm kyle a:

Good day, Rex! Fellow fools!

1:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- hey ! - I protest this song before it even starts !!

1:23pm ooop:

premature e-lunkulation

1:31pm LovecraftDude888:

I had no idea Lauter was a L.I. boy....far out. Long Beach. Is anybody on here a True Detective fan yet HBO? Is it only on at 12 a.m. Thur?

1:35pm steve of bay ridge:

after their t.v. show, red foley and his wife would get drunk and crash head-on into each other's cadillacs

1:36pm kyle a:

I like true detective. Woody Harrelson's accent is a little obnoxious at times. Like a sack of dirt and molasses he isn't sure he should swallow.

1:36pm Tidepoolbay:

Ed was in a ton of movies and hardly ever aged.

1:38pm LovecraftDude888:

Tidepool..haha! classic. he was great. Kyle--ok. Haven't even seen it yet, all of a sudden it's making a hit out of one of my fave books The King in Yellow 1895....cannot fathom that one

1:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...interwebz say Ed's B-Day was Oct. 30th ; the classic ♏Scorpio gaze...

1:39pm LovecraftDude888:

I love Harrelson in No Country: "as opposed to what, the Bubonic Plague?" heehee

1:39pm LovecraftDude888:

RR heehee

1:40pm drongozone:

Rocket 88 revisited

1:41pm LovecraftDude888:

jeez Lauter did 5 million films. Even Real Genius! I think of the words of Socrates who said "I drank what?"

1:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Ike Turner - *another* Classic ♏Scorpio badguy !...

1:42pm drongozone:

Nobody is named "Mojo Watson". No one.

1:42pm kyle a:

Gets pretty good around the third episode. Mathew McConaughey summoning his inner Schopenhauer is something of a stretch.

1:43pm LovecraftDude888:

Mojo Bliststein my rebbe

1:44pm ans:

YEAH!!
black rock'n'roll!!

1:44pm LovecraftDude888:

Kyle...ha, sounds dodgy. my friend once said "just have a soap n shower instead" of reading Schop. he wasn't a fan

1:44pm drongozone:

Thank you Rex--I have never heard this Chuck Berry song before

1:44pm kyle a:

I like that

1:45pm LovecraftDude888:

I think I own that Chuck B. Chess complete singles or whatever that is...so worth owning! buy it now!

1:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

@Drongozone: Kinks famously cover it

1:46pm LovecraftDude888:

dunno why 3 versions of it but worth buying as long as it's licensed one

1:47pm drongozone:

Chuck liked to write songs with chciks' names in them. How long would that set be?

1:48pm fred:

@RRN63: I hope you're feeling better. Better earn some money so that you can send it to the station

1:49pm drongozone:

And of course, bobody is named "Bumps Blackwell:

1:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Chuck liked to do a lot of things...& Pete Townshend was abused as a kid - & these are the people who invented RawkGuitar as we know it - any questions??...
@fred: I do $10/month automatically - until I say 'stop' - but I been @ my job so long I got a lot of paid leave earned...Thx !

1:52pm LovecraftDude888:

RR: nice gig. mainline that Vit. C babee! I finally slept in today after days of noize here....feel rested for a change today.

1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...ya gotsta earn yer ♡ over & over again in this gang...

1:56pm CHICO:

Faithful Fool's Paradise Follower here diggin in PDX OR USA. XOXOX WFMU FOREVER!

1:56pm fred:

@RRN63: so you'll be getting that gorgeous black Woof-Moo T-Shirt. I won't, I'd resent paying the bank for it. I'm not hitting food money level, but I'm definitely tapping my beer fund

1:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I like colors on black - good choice !

2:00pm fred:

I'm ashamed to confess I'll cut on booze on this program's playlist. But it's for the station, so I hope Rex will forgive me

2:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- there's always more booze...

2:01pm CHICO:

REQUEST for sometime?
'My Dream' by The Father of Rock n' Roll, Crazy Legs Chuck Berry. Early 70's slow reminiscing jam.

2:02pm fleep:

What's the deal with the goldfinches on the other tee? Is that some WFMU injoke?

2:04pm Wisconsin:

@fred: Prost! Beer is food.

2:04pm mike east:

@fleep goldfinch is jersey state bird... Possibly that. Just a guess

🌮

2:04pm Mailman Tom:

Ed Lauter played the part of a sleazy gas station attendant in Alfred Hitchcock's last film, The Family Plot (1976).

2:05pm fleep:

@mike east That makes total sense, thanks!

2:06pm fred:

@RRN63: Sure, but I've aged into being demanding in that department
@Wisconsin: Certainly. I'm a Guinness drinker, the beer you can chew

2:06pm mike east:

Thank my second grade teacher :)

2:06pm ooop:

woulda been funny if Chubby Checker stood up

2:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- true - one *never* drinks a Guinness on an empty stomach...

2:09pm ooop:

Popeye's got shallots to sauté dammit !

2:10pm fred:

@mike east: according to the WFMU NJ map premium, tomato is the state's vegetable. Can I leverage my WFMU connection to claim citizenship? If that's a vegetable, it's my favorite

2:11pm Wisconsin:

Good stuff that Guinness. Had quite a few at Tommy Castro show last night. Still a little, uh, full.

2:11pm mike east:

Hey man, we'll take anybody in jersey

2:12pm mike east:

I'm drinking a flying fish extra pale ale. It is delicious

2:16pm Reeshard:

Bacon popcorn & tequila shooters for breakfast, Eagle Rock-style. Add the program to this = life as it should be.

2:16pm fred:

@mike east: I was offered a job in NJ once, turned it down because it was a toxic wasteland to me. I stumbled on WFMU a year later

2:17pm Wisconsin:

@mike east: I shall have to sample some of that stuff.

2:19pm mike east:

Come on over Wisconsin! Got a cold one with your name on it! (Actually it's brewed in nj not wi)

2:20pm steve of bay ridge:

had to stop everything and watch to tell the truth clip with hank ballard on you tube. kitty carlisle only panelist to guess correctly

2:20pm LovecraftDude888:

ha Ed Lauter was in everything! that's awesome. he made some hardcore paychecks that's for sure...he got royalties!heehee

2:22pm LovecraftDude888:

wanna bid on Deblasio's fork..not!

2:23pm fred:

@mike east: looks like there's no way I can taste that flying fish across the pond. Cruel indeed, but not unusual, so I guess that's constitutional. Belgium is nearby though, so I can't complain in good faith

2:23pm Wisconsin:

Thanks Mike. Hopefully it shows up somewhere here in Milwaukee.

2:24pm LovecraftDude888:

fork him!

2:26pm fred:

@mike east: Is your daughter a Fool's Paradise faithful already?

2:26pm fleep:

More Wolfman www.xerbradio.com

2:26pm mike east:

These days there's good beer all over

2:27pm Sem Chumbo:

2:28pm mike east:

2:29pm Wisconsin:

All these little craft breweries are great!

2:30pm Sem Chumbo:

XERB: they don't make home pages like that anymore, do they?

2:31pm fred:

@mike east: good genes showing up early

2:33pm fleep:

@Sem One block east? CBS Studios, where they made "Seinfeld." A half block west? Umami Burger. Half block north? Tuning Fork Gastropub. Half block south? Trader Joes. And yes, that HTML 1.0 page is wonderfully crude.
