	♥ 8:03pm Dave in Vermont: yay; haven't caughtcha live for a spell
	♥ 8:06pm Greg from ZONE 5: Hey Becky! What Dave said. ↑
	8:09pm Becky: Hey folks!
	8:17pm Mr. Elliot: Hey cowgirl - spontaneous peaceful protest tonight in our quiet DC neighborhood for VP Elect Pence who is renting just down the street - oy!
	8:23pm JakeGould: Andy Griffith has always seemed like a decent guy.
	♥ 8:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Becky. Thanks for providing that info on the radio station. Interesting how they come and go, switch formats, etc.
	8:23pm Becky: @Mr. Elliot: I'd heard about that one. I wouldn't be offended if you went and joined that dance party!
	♥ 8:24pm Dave in Vermont: A big gay dance party to be precise, Mr. Elliot.
	♥ 8:25pm sweeks: That's Andy Griffith?!
	♥ 8:25pm Dave in Vermont: Andy Griffith; he was in that movie about the radio guy that got famous. Maybe you just talked about that and I was busy reading homework.
	8:25pm Mr. Elliot: Already did - some creepy guys in camp trucks and a good conversation with an out of work Trump supporter - It was a good experience mingling with neighbors, DC cops, dogs little kids dancing away the evil spirits... Warmup for Saturday.
	8:26pm Mr. Elliot: Yes LGBT in all its rainbow greatness..
	♥ 8:26pm Dave in Vermont: Oh yeah, I did hear you say 'Face in the Crowd' in the background there a second ago. Sorry.
	8:26pm Becky: @Dave - Yeah, I name-dropped it. The post-fame politics part is where it got interesting. @Mr. Elliot: Great to hear!
	8:27pm Mr. Elliot: Fitting - face in the crowd and Elmer gantry - the seamy underside
	♥ 8:27pm Dave in Vermont: It was a great performance I thought.
	8:28pm Becky: @Dave: Plus Patricia O'Neal! And Walter Matthau!
	♥ 8:35pm Dave in Vermont: I haven't seen it in a few years. I just remember it being heart-wrenching there for the last 20-30 minutes.
	8:41pm Becky: Oh no! I owe someone some money!
	8:44pm JakeGould: Maria Bartiromo?
	8:45pm Becky: I'm the first to play the Bingo Blues on WFMU.
	8:45pm JakeGould: WFMU needs to have a bingo night?
	♥ 8:45pm dgg: we owe u $5 bucks
	8:47pm Wilson: Currently vying for best show on WFMU right now. I have to remember when people ask me what kind of music I like, and I say country blues, western swing, or old rock 'n' roll, I should just be saying "honky-tonk."
	8:52pm Becky: Man, thanks Wilson. That's high praise.
	♥ 8:53pm Dave in Vermont: Hey I never heard anyone do that kinda scream talkin' beside Arlo Guthrie. Cool to hear what was probably an earlier instance.
