	9:24am Cheri Pi: I gott get those CfV reissues
	♥ 9:25am common: man, haven't heard this rave-ups tune forever. nice, joe!
	9:25am SmokinJ: Lovin' The Rave-Ups! Howdy Joe!
	9:25am Cheri Pi: Wow, this song was a heavy play on radio in the 80's. still sounds great.
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: I've had this one in my head all week. "She loves me, she loves me not..."
	9:28am SmokinJ: Story of my life... :)
	9:29am goyim in the am: A lovely tune, but the drum sound is SO OBNOXIOUS.
	♥ 9:29am Marcel M: Thats the sound of the 80s Goyim! I agree it can get hard to take.
	9:30am Cheri Pi: It's getting jangly in here!!
	9:31am Jack: Haven't heard this in a while, one of my favorite songs, dB's were great
	♥ 9:33am 12539: webcam!
	♥ 9:35am common: I remember seeing sixteen candles and seeing the rave-ups written on molly ringwald's binder.
	♥ 9:36am Marcel M: @Common: oh man thats so dreamy!
	9:42am Cheri Pi: This song is on another great WFMU premium.
	♥ 9:44am Joe McG: @Cheri: Do you remember which one?
	♥ 9:44am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Joe + everybody!
	9:46am Roberto: Has to be one of EFD's.
	♥ 9:46am Joe McG: Hey, Greg, how goes it?
	9:48am Cal Zone!: Yippee!
	♥ 9:49am DCE: RIP Johnny
	9:49am adrian in mpls: morning all! anyone ever seen shonen knife live? how was it? they're coming to the twin cities in a couple of months and was thinking about going
	9:50am Cheri Pi: Not of the top of my head Joe, but all the songs are about the electronic age. I'll look at it tonight.
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: @adrian: Saw them ages ago, in the 90s. They have mostly a new line-up now, but I hear they have a lot of energy. Might go myself when they swing around here in the fall.
	9:54am Lewis: Right! Joe just did one of those things that I love about wfmu!!!!
	9:55am Lewis: ps - I too got my swag! thanks Joe!
	9:56am anton: gotta love freeform radio! great track btw
	♥ 9:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Usually, when a song is played twice, it's by accident and the DJ makes some excuse. Here, the DJ says that he's about to do and makes it happen.
	♥ 9:56am 12539: (Should it be listed twice in the playlist?)
	♥ 9:58am Joe McG: @12539: Trying to keep me honest, eh? :)
	9:58am Roberto: Yes, it must be listed again, or at least flagged as having been played twice.
	9:59am Cecile: RIP Johnny Winter.
	10:00am Cheri Pi: Swagless in Cincinnati :( Maybe today will be the day.
	10:00am Cal Zone!: Great set Joe!
	10:02am Lewis: The work-a-day world beacons - carry on all!
	10:03am Cecile: I hope, Joe, that you know the version of Amplifier from the dBs album Repercussion
	♥ 10:03am DCE: I could see the air quotes when he said "TV"
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: I do, Cecile, but I thought of the transition that second and just grabbed what I saw from the shelf. I prefer the first version. Oh well!
	10:05am Cecile: Also, when LeBron signed with the Cavs, how come nobody played "Burn On" by Randy Newman. It seemed appropriate.
	10:07am Cecile: oh, that's OK. Just wanted to make sure. :D Like This was one of those albums I disliked at first, and my friends told me to listen to it because it was great. Then I liked it for a while cause I was seeing them live. But then I pulled it out ten years ago and it was still awfull.
	10:07am marmalade kitty: incredibly patronising track, sad that it was felt necessary
	10:08am adrian in mpls: @ Joe -- thanks for the info!
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @Kitty: Yeah, a bit ridiculous. DJs shouldn't make records, ha ha. Except the Big Bopper.
	10:09am marmalade kitty: that it was.. Mr. Byrd
	10:09am Cecile: Kitty, sentiments from that track are still being played out today.
	10:10am marmalade kitty: It's all in the mind :)
	10:12am Brendan: Frankenstiens keyboard solo thinks that last songs solo was badass funky
	♥ 10:12am Santos L Halper: Hey Joe! Celebrating Swagmas in July this week. It's a Sunshine Day was the first one i put on; very groovy. Thanks!
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: Glad you liked it, Santos! @Cheri: I'm heartbroken that your swag hasn't reached you yet, but it will soon!
	10:15am Cecile: dude, she has a friend Raven. she is offically the coolest chick ever. I have come to love Annette.
	10:18am Roberto: Oh yeah, Swagmas has been in full force for a couple of weeks up in here. There's one really creepy song on Sunshine Day that seems to play every time I'm about to go to bed.
	10:18am marmalade kitty: you should make a record joe! zepp cover?
	10:18am Cheri Pi: I'm manically checking the mailroom every 7 minutes.
	10:19am Cecile: Cheri, I'm near the end of the line. I got mine. You should see it really soon.
	♥ 10:19am Dominick: Organ & bowling! 2 most awesome sounds
	♥ 10:20am Greg from Bloomfield: I finally finished loading all my swag CDs onto my computer...and I've already gotten way more use out of my SUW pen than I thought I was going to.
	10:20am Cal Zone!: Stars on 45!
	♥ 10:20am Dominick: Is this the correct speed?
	10:21am Cecile: I used my FMU flask at an SF con more than I thought. A pull of Boodles here and there makes many things more pleasant.
	10:21am Brendan: Johnny Quest, Those native chipmunks are restless. Quick get haji and bandit
	10:21am Cecile: and Mom, I mean Race.
	10:21am Cheri Pi: That gives me hope C$. well, you know the old saying, the later the swag, the louder the nag?
	10:23am Cecile: hahahahahah, you gotta copyright that.
	10:24am Rev. Turnip Druid: DISPATCH THE SWAG-STEED, DAMMIT, THERE'S JAMS TO BE HAD!
	10:24am Cheri Pi: ©$ !
	10:24am V Priceless: Speaking of Johnny Quest....(venture bros. anyone?)
	10:24am marmalade kitty: you mean racism - sexism?
	10:24am Brendan: Race Banner .. Indeed. What a name...
	10:25am Cecile: DAMN, I love that show. Heard one of the creators has been sick, so they make episodes when he feels better. New episodes in 2015, hopefully.
	10:25am Brendan: Actually it was Bannon ..
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Kitty: I think when I make a record it will be a Waylon Jennings cover.
	10:26am V Priceless: that's weird - just realized I'm seeing any hearts next to anyone's name - ?
	10:27am Cecile: well, more the complicated relationship between black men and women and success. There are subject matter experts all over the Web who can speak to it from personal experience. I'm just an observer.
	10:30am marmalade kitty: the issues that arise from egotism.. I say
	10:30am V Priceless: @ Cecile - I didn't know that! Hopefully new episodes will happen next year then. Gotta love any show that makes cartoon characters of Iggy and Bowie!
	10:32am Cecile: yeah, well, probably kitty. And don't forget Klaus Nomi!
	10:34am bobdoesthings: good morning.. yay, made it in time for single file!
	10:34am V Priceless: @ C - that's right! How could I forget him??
	10:36am Claw!: Good morning, Joe! Good morning, All! I'm late, but I'm here. :)
	10:37am Cecile: VP: Jacket!
	♥ 10:37am Marcel M: Woah, is this the same kid in The Teenagers?
	♥ 10:38am Marcel M: Frankie Lymon?
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: @Marcel: No, but he's a good imitator! Maybe his brother!
	♥ 10:39am Marcel M: Wow, I could have sworn it was The Teenagers. Dead on!
	10:39am Cecile: VP, you caught them and James Urbaniak on the Best Show, right? It's worth visiting, it's a pretty hilarious interview.
	♥ 10:39am Brian in UK: Hey Joe from a hot place.
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @Brian: Warm in the UK today or are you in hell now?
	10:40am V Priceless: @ C - no! Thanks for the tip!
	♥ 10:42am Marcel M: Ah Doris Duke, I think it was you, Joe, who turned me onto I'm a Looser. Freaking love that song. Bought the LP after hearing it.
	♥ 10:42am Brian in UK: Heaven is hot too.
	10:42am Cecile: it is so weird to hear them talking as regular people.
	♥ 10:42am common: yea, husker!
	♥ 10:42am Brian in UK: Recovering from birthday yesterday.
	♥ 10:43am Greg from Bloomfield: Maybe not the first Huskers song I heard, but definitely the first I became completely obsessed with.
	♥ 10:43am joe: 'ello folks So Joe you peaked my curiosity. Jimmer has a site jimmermusic.com and put out a solo album last summer and as recently as June "The Rave Ups" played a show.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @Marcel: So glad. One of my favorite "deep" soul Lps ever. @Brian: Happy Belated Birthday, my friend!
	♥ 10:43am holland oats: think the rest of the office would mind if i took this one out of my headphones & blasted it on the speakers?
	♥ 10:43am Brian in UK: This could be a Sugar outake or vice versa.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @joe: Thanks for the info! I must check out Jimmer!!
	10:44am Cecile: the beginning of the end for the "du" but what a way to go out.
	♥ 10:45am Brian in UK: Thanks Joe, stopped counting after sixty.
	10:45am V Priceless: 'wolf!!!
	♥ 10:45am MD: OH Yesss 1985 at Down town Beirut!!
	♥ 10:46am Greg from Bloomfield: Did he just say "No Justin Bieber awaiting her tomorrow"?
	♥ 10:46am common: that's what i thought i heard, greg!
	♥ 10:46am MD: Chop me down and count my rings!!!
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: @Greg: Ha ha ha! I think "No Miley Cyrus awaiting her tomorrow..." would be better given the theme of the song.
	10:49am Roberto: Why do I keep thinking "Rock Me" is a Buff Spring song?
	♥ 10:50am DCE: don't think I've ever heard a bad cover of this song, but there must be one out there somewhere!
	10:51am KP: Great version of "Tomorrow." Seems I've heard a few lately.
	10:53am Cecile: this was an Irwin fave, IIRC
	10:54am Cecile: LOVE THIS DAMN song.
	10:55am glenn: parallel bars by robbie fulks and norah o'connor would follow that perfectly.
	10:57am Jack: I don't get to sit and listen straight through, come and go from the office my radio is in, but I have to say, from what I've heard, great, clean copies of these singles, and THE SOUND! I can hear how great they mostly are, even on my old Kloss 88 radio I use in the office. (better to hear Rock Me as the single, avoid the endless organ solo)
	♥ 10:58am Sem Chumbo: These 45's are killin', Joe, just killin'!
	10:58am Jack: I have to check out this John Otway...
	10:58am Kurt Gottschalk: i ave been waiting fer this...
	11:01am Kurt Gottschalk: congrats on getting the greatest rock star of all time on your show, joe!
	11:02am Cecile: Bill Nelson loves that song.
	11:05am Brendan: A grizzly bar walks into a bar and .... Probably tears the place apart. Its not a funny joke. But neither is alcoholism among these beautiful creatures.
	11:06am Lil Bucket: Hey! What's this amazing instrumental electric guitar bed music!?
	11:06am Cecile: Brendan, I picture you sayihng that in a Werner Herzog voice.
	♥ 11:06am Joe McG: Thanks, Kurt! Very much looking forward to the concert on Sunday and the movie on Monday!
	♥ 11:07am Brian in UK: A horse walks into a bar, barman says "Why the long face?" Where is glenn when we need him?
	♥ 11:07am Andrew Waterloo: The NFB has short documentary about the McGarrigle sisters and near the end the documentarian goes to a major radio station to ask why they don't have popular appeal.
	11:07am glenn: polar bear takes grizzly bear, paws down.
	11:08am Kurt Gottschalk: brendan: HA!
	11:09am Brendan: Sehr gut moglich
	11:15am Brendan: The polar bear would most certainly prevail in a greco roman format, but say if we were talking arm wrestling, my money is on the grizzly
	11:17am glenn: nope. polar bear beats everything.
	11:18am glenn: well, except for stupid humans and global warming.
	♥ 11:21am common: wow! that's a great story!
	♥ 11:27am Sem Chumbo: "The song earned him a five album deal with Polydor Records, who viewed him as a punk rather than merely an eccentric.[1]" ---wikipedia
	11:27am Marmalade Kitty: John Otoway on the old Grey Whistle Test www.youtube.com...
	11:29am Marmalade Kitty: John Otway. I wasn't syre which song he was performing in that clip..?
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: Thanks for the link, Kitty!
	11:34am Marmalade Kitty: The amp he jumped up onto was so narrow!? He must have thought he was a cat :)
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: Info about the movie: www.otwaythemovie.com
	11:37am Cecile: d'you got the man who shot liberty valance?
	♥ 11:38am Joe McG: I do, Cecile. Would you like to hear that one?
	♥ 11:38am SeanG: thanks for introducing me to this dude!
	♥ 11:39am Whosondephone: Sounds like David Bowie.
	11:40am Cecile: I would love to thear that!
	11:40am glenn: tastes like chicken, too.
	♥ 11:44am Brian in UK: Nice one, Joe.

	♥ 11:48am DCE: someone's nuking chicken nuggets in teh microwave
	♥ 11:48am fred: This is indeed great (I Did It Otway)
	11:48am Cecile: excellent
	11:51am glenn: the man who shot l. valance is a pretty damn fine movie, too.
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: If you need some fun reading, John's two autobiographies, "Cor Baby That's Really Me" and "I Did It Otway" are wonderful. Helpful dates: Theatre 80 this Sunday the 20th (live perfomance) and at the AMC Loews with the premiere of "Rock 'N' Roll's Greatest Failure" on Monday the 21st with a Q&A afterwards.
	♥ 11:52am MD: How much fun we had=A GREAT LIFE...

	9:19am Cal Zone!: Joe..Birds Cant Row Boats is on first vol of Acid Visions, also Mindrockers series, and it shows up numerous tims on Johnny Winter comps including one called 'Birds Can't Row Boats'!

	9:24am Cheri Pi: I gott get those CfV reissues
	♥ 9:25am common: man, haven't heard this rave-ups tune forever. nice, joe!
	9:25am SmokinJ: Lovin' The Rave-Ups! Howdy Joe!
	9:25am Cheri Pi: Wow, this song was a heavy play on radio in the 80's. still sounds great.
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: I've had this one in my head all week. "She loves me, she loves me not..."
	9:28am SmokinJ: Story of my life... :)
	9:29am goyim in the am: A lovely tune, but the drum sound is SO OBNOXIOUS.
	♥ 9:29am Marcel M: Thats the sound of the 80s Goyim! I agree it can get hard to take.
	9:30am Cheri Pi: It's getting jangly in here!!
	9:31am Jack: Haven't heard this in a while, one of my favorite songs, dB's were great
	♥ 9:33am 12539: webcam!
	♥ 9:35am common: I remember seeing sixteen candles and seeing the rave-ups written on molly ringwald's binder.
	♥ 9:36am Marcel M: @Common: oh man thats so dreamy!
	9:42am Cheri Pi: This song is on another great WFMU premium.
	♥ 9:44am Joe McG: @Cheri: Do you remember which one?
	♥ 9:44am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Joe + everybody!
	9:46am Roberto: Has to be one of EFD's.
	♥ 9:46am Joe McG: Hey, Greg, how goes it?
	9:48am Cal Zone!: Yippee!
	♥ 9:49am DCE: RIP Johnny
	9:49am adrian in mpls: morning all! anyone ever seen shonen knife live? how was it? they're coming to the twin cities in a couple of months and was thinking about going
	9:50am Cheri Pi: Not of the top of my head Joe, but all the songs are about the electronic age. I'll look at it tonight.
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: @adrian: Saw them ages ago, in the 90s. They have mostly a new line-up now, but I hear they have a lot of energy. Might go myself when they swing around here in the fall.
	9:54am Lewis: Right! Joe just did one of those things that I love about wfmu!!!!
	9:55am Lewis: ps - I too got my swag! thanks Joe!
	9:56am anton: gotta love freeform radio! great track btw
	♥ 9:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Usually, when a song is played twice, it's by accident and the DJ makes some excuse. Here, the DJ says that he's about to do and makes it happen.
	♥ 9:56am 12539: (Should it be listed twice in the playlist?)
	♥ 9:58am Joe McG: @12539: Trying to keep me honest, eh? :)
	9:58am Roberto: Yes, it must be listed again, or at least flagged as having been played twice.
	9:59am Cecile: RIP Johnny Winter.
	10:00am Cheri Pi: Swagless in Cincinnati :( Maybe today will be the day.
	10:00am Cal Zone!: Great set Joe!
	10:02am Lewis: The work-a-day world beacons - carry on all!
	10:03am Cecile: I hope, Joe, that you know the version of Amplifier from the dBs album Repercussion
	♥ 10:03am DCE: I could see the air quotes when he said "TV"
	♥ 10:04am Joe McG: I do, Cecile, but I thought of the transition that second and just grabbed what I saw from the shelf. I prefer the first version. Oh well!
	10:05am Cecile: Also, when LeBron signed with the Cavs, how come nobody played "Burn On" by Randy Newman. It seemed appropriate.
	10:07am Cecile: oh, that's OK. Just wanted to make sure. :D Like This was one of those albums I disliked at first, and my friends told me to listen to it because it was great. Then I liked it for a while cause I was seeing them live. But then I pulled it out ten years ago and it was still awfull.
	10:07am marmalade kitty: incredibly patronising track, sad that it was felt necessary
	10:08am adrian in mpls: @ Joe -- thanks for the info!
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @Kitty: Yeah, a bit ridiculous. DJs shouldn't make records, ha ha. Except the Big Bopper.
	10:09am marmalade kitty: that it was.. Mr. Byrd
	10:09am Cecile: Kitty, sentiments from that track are still being played out today.
	10:10am marmalade kitty: It's all in the mind :)
	10:12am Brendan: Frankenstiens keyboard solo thinks that last songs solo was badass funky
	♥ 10:12am Santos L Halper: Hey Joe! Celebrating Swagmas in July this week. It's a Sunshine Day was the first one i put on; very groovy. Thanks!
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: Glad you liked it, Santos! @Cheri: I'm heartbroken that your swag hasn't reached you yet, but it will soon!
	10:15am Cecile: dude, she has a friend Raven. she is offically the coolest chick ever. I have come to love Annette.
	10:18am Roberto: Oh yeah, Swagmas has been in full force for a couple of weeks up in here. There's one really creepy song on Sunshine Day that seems to play every time I'm about to go to bed.
	10:18am marmalade kitty: you should make a record joe! zepp cover?
	10:18am Cheri Pi: I'm manically checking the mailroom every 7 minutes.
	10:19am Cecile: Cheri, I'm near the end of the line. I got mine. You should see it really soon.
	♥ 10:19am Dominick: Organ & bowling! 2 most awesome sounds
	♥ 10:20am Greg from Bloomfield: I finally finished loading all my swag CDs onto my computer...and I've already gotten way more use out of my SUW pen than I thought I was going to.
	10:20am Cal Zone!: Stars on 45!
	♥ 10:20am Dominick: Is this the correct speed?
	10:21am Cecile: I used my FMU flask at an SF con more than I thought. A pull of Boodles here and there makes many things more pleasant.
	10:21am Brendan: Johnny Quest, Those native chipmunks are restless. Quick get haji and bandit
	10:21am Cecile: and Mom, I mean Race.
	10:21am Cheri Pi: That gives me hope C$. well, you know the old saying, the later the swag, the louder the nag?
	10:23am Cecile: hahahahahah, you gotta copyright that.
	10:24am Rev. Turnip Druid: DISPATCH THE SWAG-STEED, DAMMIT, THERE'S JAMS TO BE HAD!
	10:24am Cheri Pi: ©$ !
	10:24am V Priceless: Speaking of Johnny Quest....(venture bros. anyone?)
	10:24am marmalade kitty: you mean racism - sexism?
	10:24am Brendan: Race Banner .. Indeed. What a name...
	10:25am Cecile: DAMN, I love that show. Heard one of the creators has been sick, so they make episodes when he feels better. New episodes in 2015, hopefully.
	10:25am Brendan: Actually it was Bannon ..
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Kitty: I think when I make a record it will be a Waylon Jennings cover.
	10:26am V Priceless: that's weird - just realized I'm seeing any hearts next to anyone's name - ?
	10:27am Cecile: well, more the complicated relationship between black men and women and success. There are subject matter experts all over the Web who can speak to it from personal experience. I'm just an observer.
	10:30am marmalade kitty: the issues that arise from egotism.. I say
	10:30am V Priceless: @ Cecile - I didn't know that! Hopefully new episodes will happen next year then. Gotta love any show that makes cartoon characters of Iggy and Bowie!
	10:32am Cecile: yeah, well, probably kitty. And don't forget Klaus Nomi!
	10:34am bobdoesthings: good morning.. yay, made it in time for single file!
	10:34am V Priceless: @ C - that's right! How could I forget him??
	10:36am Claw!: Good morning, Joe! Good morning, All! I'm late, but I'm here. :)
	10:37am Cecile: VP: Jacket!
	♥ 10:37am Marcel M: Woah, is this the same kid in The Teenagers?
	♥ 10:38am Marcel M: Frankie Lymon?
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: @Marcel: No, but he's a good imitator! Maybe his brother!
	♥ 10:39am Marcel M: Wow, I could have sworn it was The Teenagers. Dead on!
	10:39am Cecile: VP, you caught them and James Urbaniak on the Best Show, right? It's worth visiting, it's a pretty hilarious interview.
	♥ 10:39am Brian in UK: Hey Joe from a hot place.
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @Brian: Warm in the UK today or are you in hell now?
	10:40am V Priceless: @ C - no! Thanks for the tip!
	♥ 10:42am Marcel M: Ah Doris Duke, I think it was you, Joe, who turned me onto I'm a Looser. Freaking love that song. Bought the LP after hearing it.
	♥ 10:42am Brian in UK: Heaven is hot too.
	10:42am Cecile: it is so weird to hear them talking as regular people.
	♥ 10:42am common: yea, husker!
	♥ 10:42am Brian in UK: Recovering from birthday yesterday.
	♥ 10:43am Greg from Bloomfield: Maybe not the first Huskers song I heard, but definitely the first I became completely obsessed with.
	♥ 10:43am joe: 'ello folks So Joe you peaked my curiosity. Jimmer has a site jimmermusic.com and put out a solo album last summer and as recently as June "The Rave Ups" played a show.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @Marcel: So glad. One of my favorite "deep" soul Lps ever. @Brian: Happy Belated Birthday, my friend!
	♥ 10:43am holland oats: think the rest of the office would mind if i took this one out of my headphones & blasted it on the speakers?
	♥ 10:43am Brian in UK: This could be a Sugar outake or vice versa.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @joe: Thanks for the info! I must check out Jimmer!!
	10:44am Cecile: the beginning of the end for the "du" but what a way to go out.
	♥ 10:45am Brian in UK: Thanks Joe, stopped counting after sixty.
	10:45am V Priceless: 'wolf!!!
	♥ 10:45am MD: OH Yesss 1985 at Down town Beirut!!
	♥ 10:46am Greg from Bloomfield: Did he just say "No Justin Bieber awaiting her tomorrow"?
	♥ 10:46am common: that's what i thought i heard, greg!
	♥ 10:46am MD: Chop me down and count my rings!!!
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: @Greg: Ha ha ha! I think "No Miley Cyrus awaiting her tomorrow..." would be better given the theme of the song.
	10:49am Roberto: Why do I keep thinking "Rock Me" is a Buff Spring song?
	♥ 10:50am DCE: don't think I've ever heard a bad cover of this song, but there must be one out there somewhere!
	10:51am KP: Great version of "Tomorrow." Seems I've heard a few lately.
	10:53am Cecile: this was an Irwin fave, IIRC
	10:54am Cecile: LOVE THIS DAMN song.
	10:55am glenn: parallel bars by robbie fulks and norah o'connor would follow that perfectly.
	10:57am Jack: I don't get to sit and listen straight through, come and go from the office my radio is in, but I have to say, from what I've heard, great, clean copies of these singles, and THE SOUND! I can hear how great they mostly are, even on my old Kloss 88 radio I use in the office. (better to hear Rock Me as the single, avoid the endless organ solo)
	♥ 10:58am Sem Chumbo: These 45's are killin', Joe, just killin'!
	10:58am Jack: I have to check out this John Otway...
	10:58am Kurt Gottschalk: i ave been waiting fer this...
	11:01am Kurt Gottschalk: congrats on getting the greatest rock star of all time on your show, joe!
	11:02am Cecile: Bill Nelson loves that song.
	11:05am Brendan: A grizzly bar walks into a bar and .... Probably tears the place apart. Its not a funny joke. But neither is alcoholism among these beautiful creatures.
	11:06am Lil Bucket: Hey! What's this amazing instrumental electric guitar bed music!?
	11:06am Cecile: Brendan, I picture you sayihng that in a Werner Herzog voice.
	♥ 11:06am Joe McG: Thanks, Kurt! Very much looking forward to the concert on Sunday and the movie on Monday!
	♥ 11:07am Brian in UK: A horse walks into a bar, barman says "Why the long face?" Where is glenn when we need him?
	♥ 11:07am Andrew Waterloo: The NFB has short documentary about the McGarrigle sisters and near the end the documentarian goes to a major radio station to ask why they don't have popular appeal.
	11:07am glenn: polar bear takes grizzly bear, paws down.
	11:08am Kurt Gottschalk: brendan: HA!
	11:09am Brendan: Sehr gut moglich
	11:15am Brendan: The polar bear would most certainly prevail in a greco roman format, but say if we were talking arm wrestling, my money is on the grizzly
	11:17am glenn: nope. polar bear beats everything.
	11:18am glenn: well, except for stupid humans and global warming.
	♥ 11:21am common: wow! that's a great story!
	♥ 11:27am Sem Chumbo: "The song earned him a five album deal with Polydor Records, who viewed him as a punk rather than merely an eccentric.[1]" ---wikipedia
	11:27am Marmalade Kitty: John Otoway on the old Grey Whistle Test www.youtube.com...
	11:29am Marmalade Kitty: John Otway. I wasn't syre which song he was performing in that clip..?
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: Thanks for the link, Kitty!
	11:34am Marmalade Kitty: The amp he jumped up onto was so narrow!? He must have thought he was a cat :)
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: Info about the movie: www.otwaythemovie.com
	11:37am Cecile: d'you got the man who shot liberty valance?

	11:48am Cecile: excellent
	11:51am glenn: the man who shot l. valance is a pretty damn fine movie, too.
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: If you need some fun reading, John's two autobiographies, "Cor Baby That's Really Me" and "I Did It Otway" are wonderful. Helpful dates: Theatre 80 this Sunday the 20th (live perfomance) and at the AMC Loews with the premiere of "Rock 'N' Roll's Greatest Failure" on Monday the 21st with a Q&A afterwards.
	♥ 11:52am MD: How much fun we had=A GREAT LIFE...
