	3:57pm efd: Hey Todd, I just saw a pic from Mike Sin on Twitter - that one guitarist with the red and white Fender (?) looks like he's getting near Dee Dee from Dancer territory height-wise!
	3:58pm efd: And yes, killer sound as always from WFMU's ace ALL-VOLUNTEER engineering crew! Great job Mike and Matt!
	3:58pm SeanG: THIS ROCKS
	3:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: This is a pretty good use of WFMU pledge monies.
	4:00pm IFisher: Blistering great sound I'm not worthy!
	4:00pm Marc Francis: FUCK YES! One of my all time favourite songs!
	4:01pm Nate K: Adding to the Matt/Mike praise. This really does sound fantastic.
	4:02pm juan rapido: Abba! love this song!
	4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mind a teeny bit blown.
	4:04pm Gaylord Fields: Abba dabba doo!!!
	4:05pm Gaylord Fields: Great Danes, or The Greatest Danes? Discuss.

	4:14pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: SO GLAD YOU ALL DUG THAT AMAZING LIVE SET FROM DEATH BY UNGA BUNGA!
	4:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Gaylord - In Danish, Hūsker Dū means "Do you remember?" youtu.be...
	4:26pm David Shortell: Links for the Saint's other four acts tonight are below. I can't tell if Death By Unga Bunga are actually headlining. Too bad that place never answers the phone. www.atlasbloom.com soundcloud.com... homelessapians.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com...
	4:27pm geezerette: American Rock! Dion's singing is so positive,cheerful and sweet! Can't hear his music without singing along.
	4:30pm Gaylord Fields: @Todd-o-phonic: I was just coning on to say Dion's mid-'60s songs are highly underrated when you spoke those oh so true words. He really could do it all — and with every bit of his heart and soul!
	4:31pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Gaylord: Amen, brother!
	4:33pm IFisher: Must also cite Dion's 70s work. Born to Be With You is an excellent album
	4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He never lost the DooWop street cred authenticity feeling...thing...but was open-minded to progress successfully w/out embarrassment....
	4:36pm Gaylord Fields: Seriously: Dion is a GREAT GREAT GREAT doo-wop/blues/R&B/pop-standard/folk-rock/bossa-nova/gospel singer!
	4:38pm IFisher: And he's recipient of a Very Exclusive accolade - put on the cover of Sgt Pepper
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bobby Darin & Neil Diamond are totally extraordinary - but there's none of that Genre confusion w/ Dion.
	4:39pm Gaylord Fields: And I'd prefer to think of that song as being Dion duetting with Jerry Landis.
	4:40pm Gaylord Fields: @IFisher: Yep, along with Horace Debussy Jones!
	4:41pm Gaylord Fields: And, in fitting fashion, Slip Mahoney was airbrushed off the cover because he was trying to scam the Beatles for $$$!
	4:43pm P-90: Skip Mahoney, who needs 'im?
	4:45pm IFisher: Had to look up that H.D. Jones reference, Gaylord. I'm smiling from ear to ear
	4:45pm P-90: Slip, da bum
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (Lennon said TheBeatles succeeding w/out losing their Northern accent would be the equivalent of a Brooklyn accent staying in ShowBiz in America; maybe why Bowery Boys got included?...Movies.)
	4:50pm Marcel M: This is great
	4:50pm Fatherflot: The Dion Superset was a revelation. Just awesome. Thanks Todd!
	4:52pm Gaylord Fields: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Or Dion and his beautiful Bronx cadences.
	4:57pm geezerette: Love "Ruby Baby"! The Beatles did a great cover. Might have been as back up for Tony Sheridan? Great version in any case.
	4:57pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Rob Santos alert!
	4:59pm djsheilab: Ha!! Dion name-drops Rob!
	4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Supposed to be on the plane w/ Buddy. WHEH.
	5:03pm P-90: Spazz scores!
	5:04pm Fatherflot: "I'm not a Pizza"
	5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You cannot beat NYC for combining the Street w/ Art & Philosophy.
	5:05pm djsheilab: Beautiful advice.
	5:06pm geezerette: Dion is everything an artist should be. Open mind and open heart.
	5:07pm djsheilab: @Geezerette Couldn't agree more!
	5:07pm geezerette: Lovely interview Todd!
	5:07pm ScottC: Did I just hear the great Dion say " I'm the kinda guy" ? Magic!
	5:08pm ?: who is this mans
	5:09pm ?: dion
	5:10pm geezerette: Thanks Sheila B.! Love your show. All the DJs here are artists. (:c)
	5:11pm BadGuyZero: I wish I could be at that Dion / Ronnie Spector show.
	5:11pm djsheilab: @Geezerette What a lovely thing to say. Thanks!
	5:11pm Fatherflot: Lou Reed inducted Dion into the Rock Hall. I've been arguing for a while that Doo Wop is the secret substratum of a lot of great Velvets tunes. "White Light/White Heat" is pure Doo Wop. Of course "Waiting for the Man" is pure barbershop quartet.
	5:11pm djsheilab: @BadGuyZero Me too! So gutted that I have to miss it.
	5:12pm djsheilab: TOPT!! AMAAAAAAAAAAZING interview!!!! So much heart.
	5:12pm Zach: wait that was _the_ Dion?
	5:13pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @djsheilab: Thanks so much!!! @Zach: the one and only!
	5:13pm Gaylord Fields: @Zach: Damn skippy straight it was!
	5:13pm Fatherflot: Yeah, did you always think she had a French Canadian accent?
	5:13pm On the Yazoo: I'd like to see him put together a Blues show.
	5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DooWop generally too much left out of 'Rock Histories' - no? The great Myth that there was nothing between Elvis in the Army & TheBeatles in America. True - & Not True.
	5:14pm geezerette: Garden Party! Such a great song.Perfect transition Todd!
	5:14pm P-90: Great job, Todd! I love that guy, how could anyone not? Ultracool segue to Rick, after quoting this to Dion in the interview.
	5:15pm Gaylord Fields: "Opened up the bathroom door / And out stepped Johnny B. Goode"
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have I clicky☆ed this episode yet? What the hell is wrong w/ me?
	5:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks @geezerette and @P-90
	5:16pm Fatherflot: Rabbit -- you are so right. Doo Wop iwas to Northeast white kids what the blues were for southern kids and the brits who picked up on it.
	5:17pm DonJuanTijuana: Cool interview TOPT...learned a lot about Dion that I had no clue about
	5:18pm Fatherflot: You too are not a pizza, Todd
	5:18pm P-90: Of course Dion and Paul Simon are musically simpatico, Doo Wop is the key substrate Paul's music too, was a Doo Wopper before he was a Folkie.
	5:19pm Gaylord Fields: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This accepted idea that there was this dearth of good rock 'n' roll between the downfall of Elvis/Little Richard/Chuck Berry ca. 1960 and the advent of the British Invasion in 1964 is demonstrably and slanderously false!
	5:22pm Fatherflot: Gaylord -- it's from the same Time-Life book of Boomer cliches that they used to write the scripts for Mad Men
	5:22pm geezerette: @Gaylord: As you elegantly prove every week!
	5:22pm IFisher: Wow, I gotta go check my head. Killed by Death by Unga Bunga. Beautiful interview with Dion. Smashing set list. Insightful & witty listener posts. A Cornucopia of Goodness! Thank you all for a freaking great show!
	5:25pm Gaylord Fields: Here's an earlier intersection of Paul Simon and Dion, courtesy of a song written by Simon's alter ego, Jerry Landis, and performed by his group Tico and the Triunphs (Marty Cooper on lead vox): www.youtube.com...
	5:27pm Gaylord Fields: @Geezerette: [attempts to blush]
	5:29pm geezerette: Thank you Gaylord! I'm blushing right back. You are a poet Sir! Style and grace in every show.
	5:30pm P-90: Thanks for the link, DJ Gaylord!
	5:55pm Gaylord Fields: Like Dion, I'm not a pizza, but if I was, I'd be a Norwegian Pineapple Pizza.
	5:55pm PsychopathJimFields: A real country song in 2016!!!!!!
	5:56pm Gaylord Fields: Howdy, cuz!
	5:57pm rob steffens: Thanks a lot Todd
	5:57pm PsychopathJimFields: Did I see you last week?
	5:58pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks much, Todd!
	5:59pm Gaylord Fields: @PsychopathJimFields: Yep — DJ Stashu took our annual family portrait.
	5:59pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @PsychopathJimFields: I thought I ducked!
	6:00pm Gaylord Fields: @Todd-o-phonic: You can run but you can't hide from the Fields Family!

	4:14pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: SO GLAD YOU ALL DUG THAT AMAZING LIVE SET FROM DEATH BY UNGA BUNGA!
	4:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Gaylord - In Danish, Hūsker Dū means "Do you remember?" youtu.be...
	4:26pm David Shortell: Links for the Saint's other four acts tonight are below. I can't tell if Death By Unga Bunga are actually headlining. Too bad that place never answers the phone. www.atlasbloom.com soundcloud.com... homelessapians.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com...
	4:27pm geezerette: American Rock! Dion's singing is so positive,cheerful and sweet! Can't hear his music without singing along.
	4:30pm Gaylord Fields: @Todd-o-phonic: I was just coning on to say Dion's mid-'60s songs are highly underrated when you spoke those oh so true words. He really could do it all — and with every bit of his heart and soul!
	4:31pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Gaylord: Amen, brother!
	4:33pm IFisher: Must also cite Dion's 70s work. Born to Be With You is an excellent album
	4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He never lost the DooWop street cred authenticity feeling...thing...but was open-minded to progress successfully w/out embarrassment....
	4:36pm Gaylord Fields: Seriously: Dion is a GREAT GREAT GREAT doo-wop/blues/R&B/pop-standard/folk-rock/bossa-nova/gospel singer!
	4:38pm IFisher: And he's recipient of a Very Exclusive accolade - put on the cover of Sgt Pepper
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bobby Darin & Neil Diamond are totally extraordinary - but there's none of that Genre confusion w/ Dion.
	4:39pm Gaylord Fields: And I'd prefer to think of that song as being Dion duetting with Jerry Landis.
	4:40pm Gaylord Fields: @IFisher: Yep, along with Horace Debussy Jones!
	4:41pm Gaylord Fields: And, in fitting fashion, Slip Mahoney was airbrushed off the cover because he was trying to scam the Beatles for $$$!
	4:43pm P-90: Skip Mahoney, who needs 'im?
	4:45pm IFisher: Had to look up that H.D. Jones reference, Gaylord. I'm smiling from ear to ear
	4:45pm P-90: Slip, da bum
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (Lennon said TheBeatles succeeding w/out losing their Northern accent would be the equivalent of a Brooklyn accent staying in ShowBiz in America; maybe why Bowery Boys got included?...Movies.)
	4:50pm Marcel M: This is great
	4:50pm Fatherflot: The Dion Superset was a revelation. Just awesome. Thanks Todd!
	4:52pm Gaylord Fields: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Or Dion and his beautiful Bronx cadences.
	4:57pm geezerette: Love "Ruby Baby"! The Beatles did a great cover. Might have been as back up for Tony Sheridan? Great version in any case.
	4:57pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Rob Santos alert!
	4:59pm djsheilab: Ha!! Dion name-drops Rob!
	4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Supposed to be on the plane w/ Buddy. WHEH.
	5:03pm P-90: Spazz scores!
	5:04pm Fatherflot: "I'm not a Pizza"
	5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You cannot beat NYC for combining the Street w/ Art & Philosophy.
	5:05pm djsheilab: Beautiful advice.
	5:06pm geezerette: Dion is everything an artist should be. Open mind and open heart.
	5:07pm djsheilab: @Geezerette Couldn't agree more!
	5:07pm geezerette: Lovely interview Todd!
	5:07pm ScottC: Did I just hear the great Dion say " I'm the kinda guy" ? Magic!
	5:08pm ?: who is this mans
	5:09pm ?: dion
	5:10pm geezerette: Thanks Sheila B.! Love your show. All the DJs here are artists. (:c)
	5:11pm BadGuyZero: I wish I could be at that Dion / Ronnie Spector show.
	5:11pm djsheilab: @Geezerette What a lovely thing to say. Thanks!
	5:11pm Fatherflot: Lou Reed inducted Dion into the Rock Hall. I've been arguing for a while that Doo Wop is the secret substratum of a lot of great Velvets tunes. "White Light/White Heat" is pure Doo Wop. Of course "Waiting for the Man" is pure barbershop quartet.
	5:11pm djsheilab: @BadGuyZero Me too! So gutted that I have to miss it.
	5:12pm djsheilab: TOPT!! AMAAAAAAAAAAZING interview!!!! So much heart.
	5:12pm Zach: wait that was _the_ Dion?
	5:13pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @djsheilab: Thanks so much!!! @Zach: the one and only!
	5:13pm Gaylord Fields: @Zach: Damn skippy straight it was!
	5:13pm Fatherflot: Yeah, did you always think she had a French Canadian accent?
	5:13pm On the Yazoo: I'd like to see him put together a Blues show.
	5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DooWop generally too much left out of 'Rock Histories' - no? The great Myth that there was nothing between Elvis in the Army & TheBeatles in America. True - & Not True.
	5:14pm geezerette: Garden Party! Such a great song.Perfect transition Todd!
	5:14pm P-90: Great job, Todd! I love that guy, how could anyone not? Ultracool segue to Rick, after quoting this to Dion in the interview.
	5:15pm Gaylord Fields: "Opened up the bathroom door / And out stepped Johnny B. Goode"
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have I clicky☆ed this episode yet? What the hell is wrong w/ me?
	5:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks @geezerette and @P-90
	5:16pm Fatherflot: Rabbit -- you are so right. Doo Wop iwas to Northeast white kids what the blues were for southern kids and the brits who picked up on it.
	5:17pm DonJuanTijuana: Cool interview TOPT...learned a lot about Dion that I had no clue about
	5:18pm Fatherflot: You too are not a pizza, Todd
	5:18pm P-90: Of course Dion and Paul Simon are musically simpatico, Doo Wop is the key substrate Paul's music too, was a Doo Wopper before he was a Folkie.
	5:19pm Gaylord Fields: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This accepted idea that there was this dearth of good rock 'n' roll between the downfall of Elvis/Little Richard/Chuck Berry ca. 1960 and the advent of the British Invasion in 1964 is demonstrably and slanderously false!
	5:22pm Fatherflot: Gaylord -- it's from the same Time-Life book of Boomer cliches that they used to write the scripts for Mad Men
	5:22pm geezerette: @Gaylord: As you elegantly prove every week!
	5:22pm IFisher: Wow, I gotta go check my head. Killed by Death by Unga Bunga. Beautiful interview with Dion. Smashing set list. Insightful & witty listener posts. A Cornucopia of Goodness! Thank you all for a freaking great show!
	5:25pm Gaylord Fields: Here's an earlier intersection of Paul Simon and Dion, courtesy of a song written by Simon's alter ego, Jerry Landis, and performed by his group Tico and the Triunphs (Marty Cooper on lead vox): www.youtube.com...
	5:27pm Gaylord Fields: @Geezerette: [attempts to blush]
	5:29pm geezerette: Thank you Gaylord! I'm blushing right back. You are a poet Sir! Style and grace in every show.
	5:30pm P-90: Thanks for the link, DJ Gaylord!
	5:55pm Gaylord Fields: Like Dion, I'm not a pizza, but if I was, I'd be a Norwegian Pineapple Pizza.
	5:55pm PsychopathJimFields: A real country song in 2016!!!!!!
	5:56pm Gaylord Fields: Howdy, cuz!
	5:57pm rob steffens: Thanks a lot Todd
	5:57pm PsychopathJimFields: Did I see you last week?
	5:58pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks much, Todd!
	5:59pm Gaylord Fields: @PsychopathJimFields: Yep — DJ Stashu took our annual family portrait.
	5:59pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @PsychopathJimFields: I thought I ducked!
	6:00pm Gaylord Fields: @Todd-o-phonic: You can run but you can't hide from the Fields Family!
