Listener comments!

12:03pm Uncle Michael:

Second version of this song on FMU today.

12:04pm Bronwyn Bishop:

that was beautiful. hi joe and everyone!

12:05pm V Priceless:

abowie! Hey Joe -thanks for the DB kick-off! Hard to believe he didn't make it to 70. Hitting the Terminal 5 trib gig tomorrow featuring lots of his former band members.

12:05pm Carmichael:

Heya Joe and monte lovers.

12:05pm Joe B:

hey Bronwyn, great to finally meet you Saturday!

UM, early bird gets the first version. I slept in and missed it

12:06pm Uncle Michael:

Ken played the Lulu.

12:06pm Bluesman:

Hi Joe!

12:08pm Joe B:

that's a great one. Played it last year at the time of his death

12:08pm Mark in Toronto:

In retrospect, do you think any artist knows when they are creating an iconic song?

12:08pm V Priceless:

love the Stylophone on this....

12:10pm Brian C.:

I dig the S.O.S. in the coda of the Bowie tune, did that bit make the final track?

12:10pm Joe B:

Thanks for tuning in and checking in everybody! The great Chuck Prophet coming up live at 2:15 pm or so today!

12:11pm joe:

@vpriceless wow that is a crazy line up. That was the first I heard of it. How come nobody ever invites the Sales brothers to anything :)

12:11pm Joe B:

hey VP, yeah that looks like a great show.

12:12pm Joe B:

Hi Carmichael and Blues!

12:12pm Bronwyn Bishop:

i miss bowie

12:13pm Joe B:

hey mark! hard to say but some will certainly say they did after the fact

12:13pm Brian C.:

I miss Mick Ronson, too

12:14pm Joe B:

Brian you should check out Mick's version of like a rolling stone with bowie

12:16pm V Priceless:

@ joe: excellent question. I love those guys!

12:17pm V Priceless:

what Bronwyn and Brian C. said, PLUS Trevor Bolder!

12:17pm joe:

@vpriceless there still seems to be a coldness to the Tin Machine stuff that I just don't understand. I'm personally a fan

12:19pm V Priceless:

agreed; Tin Machine rules, and IMHO, they resurrected Bowie's creative powers....

12:19pm Bronwyn Bishop:

love this. love it all, but especially this

12:19pm Brian C.:

Joe B, great set of obscure Bowie stuff, much obliged

12:20pm Tome:

could not be done better JB !! awesome !!

12:20pm John L.:

First time hearing this Bruce cover. Odd, but I like it.

12:23pm JakeGould:

Hey Joe! Nice Bowie set.

12:30pm phat:

Bringing a tear to my eye, Joe. What a long year.

12:30pm John L.:

Did you go to the CT show too?

12:31pm Parq:

Escovedo covers "Dudes" -- the wonder of it all.

12:31pm Joe B:

no I wish though! i think it was a more spirited singalong friday

👻

12:32pm ChrisB.:

How cool, Joe! Josh is my favorite Fenway organist!

12:33pm Joe B:

Ha yes Chris, mine too!

12:33pm Amy:

Hey Joe, are you going to just play all Bowie until Chuck Prophet arrives? Because that would be cool.

12:34pm Cheri Pi:

Hello Joe!

12:34pm Joe B:

thanks Tome! hey parq, hi phat, and John L

12:34pm Joe B:

hey CP! sorry amy, I don't think so. sad enough at 35 minutes!

12:35pm Amy:

Fair.

12:35pm Joe B:

thanks Brian

joe i am with you

12:35pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Highlight of the show on Fri

12:35pm Joe B:

hey DK, I agree, great seeing you!

12:36pm Claw!:

guess whooooo....? (☉‿☉✿)

Hello, my lovelies! Joe! Cheri! VeePee!

12:37pm V Priceless:

breath-taking 'final' DB track, if one chooses to hear it as such...

👻

12:38pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Hello, Claw! Happy New Year! How ya been?

12:38pm V Priceless:

holy shit! Hey Claw! !

12:40pm Claw!:

Cken! Hola! Happy New Yarr to you too. I've been doing alright. Had to take some time away for a spell. Longer than I had anticipated, but hey - better late than never!

👻

12:41pm Hoboken Jack:

Joe(y) and Bowie, perfect together!

12:41pm Claw!:

I didn't die, V!

12:42pm Claw!:

sphere actually came into the shop last week and introduced himself, wondering where I had disappeared to. it was nice. so now I am here.

12:43pm doctorjazz:

Great first set!
Looking forward to the guest...

12:43pm joe:

*cue eerie music* The return of the CLAW

12:44pm Claw!:

*dun dun DUNNNNN!*

12:46pm Cheri Pi:

I Love this song

12:48pm phat:

This is a hell of a remix.

12:49pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Damn thing clipped my thought re: "All the Young Dudes"--the highlight of Alejandro's show in a show of highlights. When he and Josh began the intro--after Escovedo's moving reminiscence--it was hard keeping it all together. Straight shot to the solar plexus, just sombre and glorious.

12:51pm V Priceless:

@ Joe B: typo alert - "New Killer Star" originally from "Reality" ; )

12:52pm Joe B:

ah yes thanks VP. those two albums were back to back, i guess i think of them as a piece!

12:53pm V Priceless:

Cool idea, Joe! Two fine rekkids for sure!

12:53pm doctorjazz:

Love this version of I've Been Waiting For You.

12:55pm Joe B:

and VP, that tour he did a generous helping from both albums, and they fit in seamlessly with the classics

12:55pm Joe B:

me too doctor jazz!

12:56pm V Priceless:

yes! Good point, JB! Did you see any of the "five Boroughs" gigs?

12:57pm Joe B:

no unfortunately missed those. was that for Hours?

12:58pm V Priceless:

I'm thinking they were "Heathen"-era gigs...

👻

12:59pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I watched the movie The Martian recently and when the played "Starman," it was pretty wonderful.

1:00pm Miss Georgia Peach:

Absolute Beginners today, please?

1:03pm Joe B:

Sorry miss peach, didn't see this till just now!

1:03pm Joe B:

hey ken, that film is on my list to see.

1:05pm John L.:

I had no heat this morning, so it was cold inside.

1:06pm Uncle Michael:

I think every recording artist from Ohio should be required to record It's Cold Outside.

1:07pm Joe B:

that sucks John. kinda like the studio here!

1:07pm Joe B:

Uncle Michael, it isn't already?!

1:08pm Bluesman:

John L. I currently gots heating issues in my house as well. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

1:09pm Joe B:

Blues, I was at the sloatsburg rest area on the thurway friday night about 1 am. i figured you were sleeping so i didnt call.

1:12pm joe:

Not 11 Not 13 but 12 dead roses

1:13pm Joe B:

TWO BEER TRUCKS!

1:14pm Claw!:

love me some Andre Williams... thanks, JB!

1:15pm Amy:

This is pretty much what I want for my funeral too.

1:16pm paul b:

Andre Williams, like this guy's attitude -- he's thorough

1:16pm rascal yammers:

I hope Andre gets what he wants!

1:17pm Bluesman:

Joe, yeah I'm sure I was making Zssssss...... I found out about the Hudson NY show on Saturday (via someone's FB post). Had I known, I would schlepped!!!!

1:19pm Joe B:

damn i shoulda told you. i decided to trek up at the last minute friday afternoon

1:26pm Bluesman:

Next time Joe!

1:28pm Figures of Light:

When we wrote WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT, we had no idea of how grim winter 2017 was going to be after January 20.

1:30pm Joe B:

FoL - seriously. love that one.

1:35pm Uncle Michael:

The phrase "winter of our discontent" doesn't mean "a winter with which we are discontented". It means "our discontentment is coming to an end". I feel like I must point this out over and over again. "Now is the winter of our discontent/Made glorious summer by this son of York…" means Richard's about to come contented due to his family taking the throne.

1:36pm phat:

Uncle Michael: thanks for pointing that out, and I pray something glorious occurs come summer.

1:37pm Joe B:

IT DOES NOW

1:37pm Dean:

That passage occurs right before "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" in that movie that often played on a double bill with "Yogurt."

1:38pm Uncle Michael:

"Winter of our discontent" literally means that the future looks bright.

1:39pm Joe B:

we know.

1:41pm Michael 98145:

( i wish that were the case, Uncle ... )

👻

1:44pm Artie Haywire:

So this is the dewy spring of our discontent? Which I guess makes me the stupid daffodil that blooms just in time to get zapped by a late frost...

👻

1:46pm Artie Haywire:

"Stupid, Stupid Daffodil" - Stiv Bators

1:47pm Guido from Cologne:

Great show (as always)!

1:50pm Michael 98145:

( thankful for the archive )

1:58pm ?:

tony sales
in the early eighties
was working thru a lot
of pain from a car accident
also in northern ohio
in the sixties
both the weather
and the rock music
were intense:>

1:59pm Kelly from Portland:

the Portland, OR airport has a musician program where local musicians play in the airport on a regular basis. All different kinds of music. It's awesome & makes it a much more pleasant traveling experience!

2:00pm Dean:

Wow. Prophet was born in Whittier, CA. Know the town well.

2:04pm Michael 98145:

( Fuller photo : upload.wikimedia.org... )

2:10pm Michael 98145:

great song

2:25pm Figures of Light:

I'm thoroughly enjoying the Chuck Prophet segment. Thanks, Joe and Chuck.

2:27pm whattawino:

Chuck has been The Man in my house of rock for quite awhile. Fantastic live performer too, y'all!

2:30pm joe:

Tony worked on
Real Animal Street Songs of Love Big Station

2:33pm Figures of Light:

Ah, me - pedants abound. Nevetheless, a year in which we lost Bowie, Billy Miller, Sharon Jones, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Leon Russell, George Martin, Lemmy, is a dark one indeed.

2:36pm omega fish oil:

I must be the only person who thinks that not one of those deaths affects me in any way.

2:37pm omega fish oil:

love all the music.

2:37pm Mike Sin:

Nice interview with Chuck Prophet here! It was indeed the "Three Chord Monte" that introduced me to the "Let Freedom Ring" album.

2:37pm Joe B:

light of day festival - lightofday.org

2:44pm Marc Francis:

Lemmy died in 2015.

👻

2:44pm Hoboken Jack:

That TOPT sure gets around! Fantastic show, Joe.

2:56pm V Priceless:

fun show - and thanx for the DB trib, Joe! Cheers!
