WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from April 15, 2015

Listener comments!
	9:04pm fleep: It's Evan "Deductible" Davies! Greetings!
	♥ 9:05pm Cubicle Carl: Evening...tonight's show is cash only, as to avoid taxes.
	♥ 9:05pm Stevel: Holy shit! I don't think I ever heard this BOA. I loved the live album. My uncle had it. So nasty. Jim Dandy is one of my favorite rock vocalists on voice quality, primarily,
	♥ 9:07pm efd: I just love how Mr. Dandy is so over the top in his vocal performance on that version of "Taxman."
	♥ 9:08pm Stevel: Mr. Dandy, indeed! He was rarely under the top. For that, I loved him, and tolerated the phallic photo of him straddling a Civil War canon in CREEM magazine.
	9:09pm Loretta: hi Evan! good evening fellow listeners!!!
	9:09pm Holly in NC: Hi efd & all friends! Can't listen at the moment :-( but am here in spirit!
	9:11pm fleep: Yes, there are Taxman licks in there for sure.
	♥ 9:12pm Stevel: This was the second image to come up after "Jim Dandy cannon creem". Close, but no cigar. Civil War canon is probably different from cannon)
	♥ 9:12pm Stevel: Link:bretpemelton.com...
	♥ 9:15pm efd: not even that close!
	♥ 9:18pm Stevel: I'll bet Roth watched Jim Dandy more than once.
	♥ 9:19pm efd: fair point.
	9:19pm JakeGould: @efd: This Rosko track… I love it.
	♥ 9:19pm Lonely Planet Boy: celebrating 42's anniversary. Thanks for the tribute!
	♥ 9:21pm efd: This Jackie Robinson record was a gift from the wonderful Andy Zax when he was here guest DJ-ing on my show last fall.
	♥ 9:21pm Stevel: Nice story. On many levels. Nice gift!
	9:21pm JakeGould: Andy Zax is a mensch.
	♥ 9:23pm Stevel: Greetings JakeGould: Speaking of mensch, I finally saw Super Mensch last night on NFlix. Loved efd's interview with Mike Meyers and had looked forward to seeing the film. Amazing story(ies)!
	9:26pm Pat Byrne: Checking in to the playlist to confirm that someone else thought that was Morgan Freeman reading that Jackie Robinson story. Shocked to see I am alone on this...
	9:26pm JakeGould: “…Milhouse came in to buy the 1973 Carl Yastrzemski baseball card, with the big sideburns, for $30.” simpsonswiki.com...
	9:27pm Mildred: Hi Evan, I'm wondering if the Steve Waxman in Even Worse is the same guy who teaches music history at Smith. Any idea about that?
	♥ 9:27pm efd: Rosko was my generation's Morgan Freeman.
	♥ 9:28pm efd: Mildred, no, I don't think so -- the Even Worse Steve Waxman lives in Toronto.
	9:30pm Mildred: Well, that would have been very weird and I feel somehow relieved.
	♥ 9:31pm Lonely Planet Boy: A's uniforms, circa Vida Blue, were great.
	♥ 9:39pm efd: bonus Casey! ::good grief::
	♥ 9:44pm efd: FYI: twitter.com...
	9:45pm JakeGould: Autographed? Ooo la la!
	♥ 9:47pm Lonely Planet Boy: after hearing this, I wonder how Tug's kid became a "country sanger"?
	9:48pm MrMikeyRiggsNYC: How bout Jon Sterling's oratory of Steven Drew's Grand Slam the other night. Sterling exclaims, "Steven Drew, how do you do."
	9:50pm Rye Eddie: Hope Gooden pulled it together finally.
	9:52pm BognarRegis: This "Casey at the Bat" is the witches tits
	9:53pm Danne D: Hey EFD :) Hey Everyone :) Nice to hear the Jackie Robinson recording :) Thx to AZ indeed :)
	♥ 9:54pm VealCutlet: Only thing that would've made that Tug McGraw thing better would be if Rick Wakeman were on it
	9:57pm Danne D: previously you had you first april fool's show so it makes sense :)
	9:58pm MrMikeyRiggsNYC: Rosko can be heard in a stunning interpretation of a Pete Hammil NY Post article on the Vietnam war. http://www.nyradioarchive.com/audio/WNEWFM_War_Hamill_Rosko_c1969.mp3
	10:00pm Danne D: Once again my condolences on the loss of your dear friend, EFD
	10:02pm Danne D: :( tough year EFD
	10:04pm andrew: When I saw even worse,at the UK club ,Niick Marden was playing bass
	♥ 10:07pm Stevel: Priceless HC moments. Love it.
	♥ 10:07pm efd: I think they went through a few lineup changes... pretty sure they had some other singers as well.
	♥ 10:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not home too late...
	10:08pm Mister Dobalina: Some excellent tones being played tonight
	10:12pm Danne D: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL ESTADOS UNIDOS!
	♥ 10:19pm coelacanth: efd i'm sad for those losses in your life. i do remember Loscalzo, vaguely. i have lots of tapes of fmu from back then...but i don't know if i have any of him.it was a tumultuous time in my life. ...and Thanks especially for that Jackie Robinson story. -wasn't Rosco on wbai for a while?
	♥ 10:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - efd - your program space here is such great fun - & you are such a charming, genial, welcoming personality - it is really appreciated, as I'm sure everyone makes known to you ; we appreciate not just your knowledge & taste - but your big heart - & so I really regret to learn of you experiencing tribulations & losses & sorrows. Sincere Condolences.
	♥ 10:26pm Stevel: RRN63: You pretty much nail it. Thank you. This is a special show, every week. I rarely miss.
	♥ 10:29pm Stevel: efd: You presented a tribute that shared these folks with us. That's always worth while. All we really have is our connections to others. It sucks when they go away. Its good to share their works with others. Thanks
	♥ 10:30pm efd: thanks very much you guys, I appreciate it.
	10:31pm JakeGould: Condolences on your loss, Evan.
	♥ 10:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: US 2 - Mexico 0
	♥ 10:36pm efd: ohh, THAT's what's going on. (Thanks Jake)
	♥ 10:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Now that taxes are done, I have time for some typing. First of all, sympathies, Evan, for the loss of your friends. Second, there's an international friendly soccer match on TV from the Alamodome tonight. Thirdsies, what a show!
	♥ 10:52pm Barkevious Shabazz: Ah, City Gardens, where you knew the show was over because of course, before the band was off the stage, the bright whites came up and a line of obese security goons would advance toward the crowd, bellowing, "Shows over, get out."
	♥ 10:57pm Aharon: Hey, this sounds like that other AC/DC song!
	♥ 10:58pm efd: why mess with success?!
	♥ 11:00pm Stevel: Love the chorus hook. I'll look up Sharp Medicine.
	♥ 11:00pm Aharon: Hah! I'll assuming you're talking about the gents from Down Under and not certain listeners' annual ritual of finishing their taxes at 10:45 on April 15th.
	♥ 11:05pm efd: well if the shoe fits...
	11:22pm JakeGould: Whoa! You mean we can finally find out what Dave Grohl’s opinion on music is?
	11:24pm P-90: What, no Harry Harrison impression this week :( Oh well, life isn't perfect. And I don't know how many years went by when I thought that efd had recorded the falsetto word "ticket", before I realized he was performing it live each week.
	11:26pm Joe Z: Would love those wedneday tix. But I'm trapped in a hotel room in Puerto Rico at the moment with a sleeping roommate and can't make any calls ;/
	♥ 11:26pm Ike: What sites or apps does everyone use to keep up with upcoming shows in NYC? Is there something better than Brooklyn Vegan? I sure hope so.
	11:28pm JakeGould: @Ike: I just use Facebook and follow venues and bands. All the sites I have checked out stink or are out of date.
	♥ 11:30pm Ike: Actually, wait... nyc-shows.brooklynvegan.com isn't so bad. I was looking on the wrong part of the site.
	11:35pm JakeGould: Is this “Hot Chocolate” for the U.S. versus Mexico soccer action?
	♥ 11:37pm efd: @P-90, the Harry Harrison-inspired intro was based on the adopted naming rights during the 2014 marathon,which lapsed this year. So it's back to the old original intro.
	♥ 11:38pm Chop Scott: EFD! Great show as always--Cheers!
	♥ 11:39pm Chop Scott: But wait--your bed music must be right next to Rhinocerous Bucket?
	♥ 11:41pm efd: hahaha, it probably is! Glad you're enjoying the show Scott!
	♥ 11:41pm efd: @JakeGould, I'll leave it to the listener to make that call.
	11:44pm P-90: Oh, THAT's where Harry went... You used a little pitch shifting on that, or just eq?
	11:46pm JakeGould: @efd: Then I assume, “Shoot You Down” has nothing to do with the postal worker landing a gyrocopter on the Capitol lawn. For the record, I admire that coot.
	♥ 11:50pm efd: that is a reasonable assumption.
	♥ 11:53pm efd: P-90 I shall not reveal the secrets of my Harrisonning!
	11:54pm P-90: I knew it. Took a shot.
	11:59pm fleep: Thanks, EFD!
	11:59pm Danne D: Thanks EFD :) Have a good night everyone :) Hi Holly on the archive :)
	♥ 12:00am Aharon: Great closing set!
	12:01am P-90: Heartfelt condolences, efd, and thanks for another winner tonight. Aharon is right: that closing set WAS eclectic and wonderful.
