	9:46pm Vinny: Thankee!
	9:47pm melinda: hello Ira and folks!
	10:00pm Chop Scott: Always a super treat to hear you on air Ira--Cheers!
	10:07pm Irwin: "Don't Let Me Down" produced by TOM WILSON.
	10:07pm Irwin: Sorry BRING, not LET. Mea culpa.
	10:17pm Marc15: Is she singing about making it with a gorilla?
	10:19pm Gaylord Fields: @Marc15: Have you ever seen a picture of Don Kirshner?
	10:21pm Chop Scott: @Gaylord what about Kirshner's son?
	10:24pm Gaylord Fields: @Chop Scott: He's a fine producer in his own right and probably contains 100% human DNA.
	10:25pm looking stuff up: In 1961 I [Lee Irwin] produced "The Idol," a documentary about teen idol Bobby Vee that became part of Desilu Sales' "Windows on the World" syndicated series. Bobby himself was still a teenager himself at the time, just 18, but had already recorded a string of hit records and albums, most of them written by the husband-and-wife team of Carole King and Gerry Goffin. They included "Take Good Care of My Baby," "Run to Him," and "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes." Here [YT] is the closing five minutes of the documentary, which includes the title song, written by King and Goffin. IT ["The Idol"] WAS NEVER RELEASED ON RECORD.
	10:28pm surfsiders: She's great!
	10:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ambitious choice.
	10:28pm melinda: Go Amanda! I like this.
	10:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How alone does Carole King stand in successfully spanning eras as a Writer?
	10:31pm Hoboken Jack: My sister and I had a semi flexi disc of "Pleasant Valley Sunday" cut out from the back of a... Super Sugar Crisp box i believe?
	10:32pm Tommy Jack Haynes: That could have been a line in the song
	10:33pm Gaylord Fields: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If you were to say that Carole King stands along as a songwriter without any further qualifiers whatsoever, I wouldn't argue with that assessment.
	10:33pm Gaylord Fields: *stands alone
	10:33pm Flakes: "Monkee Mike Nesmith supposedly made Carole King cry when he made fun of her early songs to her face."
	10:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as she stands along...
	10:35pm Gaylord Fields: @Flakes: You mean crappy crap song crap like "Will You Love Me Tomorrow"? Methinks Papa Nez's wool hat dye may have seeped into his brain.
	10:36pm Tommy in Neversink: Carole should have made fun of white out as retaliation
	10:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Hoboken Jack - I remember flexi discs from cereal boxes from way back. I don't recall what song or songs we had or what cereal brand had them, though.
	10:37pm Chop Scott: Gaylord please don't disparage Nesmith, we could have conflict ahead.
	10:39pm Gaylord Fields: @Chop Scott: If Mike said that about Carole King's songwriting, then he's got a bigger problem than you or I will ever have.
	10:39pm Marc15: @Gaylord I see your point
	10:42pm Joe B: Nez probably did deserve a co-writing credit for coming up with the guitar riff for Pleasant Valley Sunday. important part of the record
	10:42pm melinda: I like Carole singing Pleasant Valley Sunday.
	10:43pm Amanda: I just got here, what did I miss?
	10:43pm Gaylord Fields: @Amanda: Nothing of interest to you.
	10:44pm Debbie D.: Great set! Thanks, Ira!!
	10:45pm Amanda: "I Don't Think You Know Me" might be my favorite Carole King song that the Monkees recorded but didn't release.
	10:45pm Flakes: Mike Nesmith sang this one too
	10:46pm Jordan in Eugene: Great show Ira! Thanks so much.
	10:47pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, thanks for doing the radio show that I've been waiting for a less auspicious milestone to do.
	10:47pm Tommy in Neversink: Richard Groove Holmes needs a whole show
	10:51pm Joe B: Flakes re I don't think you know me - All 4 Monkees sang versions! The Jones one has yet to surface but to was recorded. I prefer the Peter version, and his performance of it at the Beacon Theater Monkees show in 2011 remains an all-time concert highlight for me
	10:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Someone said - ? - that 'Goin' Back' was one of the turning points between the bYRdS & Crosby? (...more mess...)
	10:53pm Hoboken Jack: For what it's worth, here's a Nesmith quote to the Asbury Park Press in 2014: "At the time, Carole King asked if I would like to write with her, but I was so intimidated by the idea of a pop song, and so naive as to the process, I turned down that opportunity. I loved CK's work then, and still do, but it couldn't have been any other way. I was clueless."
	10:53pm Slaboch: Perfect soundtrack for driving home through Harbor Country!
	10:53pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, this is all fake fighting on my part — truth be told, I can't abide either the Monkees or Carole King.
	10:57pm Ira: It's fake chastising from me too. Personally, WFMU doesn't do all that much for me.
	10:58pm Tommy in Neversink: Hoboken Jack...that's interesting because "Different Dum " is pop song perfection
	11:00pm Tommy in Neversink: ....You just can't not like it
	11:00pm melinda: Fake scuffles are fun.
	11:00pm Amanda: Goffin & King cowrote "Sweet Young Thing" with Nez fwiw. Ira, loving the show on this chilly night!
	11:01pm looking stuff up: Hey Amanda: Track 12 on "The Best of Dean Martin" was written by Ross Bagdasarian ("Hey Brother, Pour the Wine")
	11:06pm Amanda: Whoa! Thanks for the tip, I wasn't aware of that! This is also the song that Marge sings after getting drunk in "There's No Disgrace Like Home," Simpsons season 1.
	11:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: I like The Monkee's playing "Last Train to Clarksville" and watching them chase each other around on their TV show. So there!
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...JPG&R...& time stands still...
	11:18pm Ira: And speaking of time standing still . . .
	11:19pm surfsiders: ? ? ? ?
	11:21pm melinda: This is the icing on the cake of the CK celebration.
	11:22pm Debbie D.: Torture torture, it pleasures me.
	11:24pm Tommy in Neversink: If Mike Nesmith made Robin Kahn cry, I'd have no problem with that
	11:24pm melinda: Enjoyed the show, time for bed. Nighty-night!
	11:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: See you later, melinda.
	11:31pm Somya: You haven't missed yet Carole! or Ira for that matter...thanks for keeping me company while i work.
	11:33pm Alejandroool: Hey all is there something wrong/down with the internet streams? Been having some troubles
	11:34pm Debbie D.: I'm not having any streaming problems. Listening thru the wfmu audio player.
	11:34pm Alejandroool: alright must be my router or something else - thanks Debbie D!
	11:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hold on just a sec ... I have a call coming in on the shoe phone.
	11:37pm Gaylord Fields: Right, right: This recording is from that brief period when Broderick Crawford replaced Don Adams.
	11:40pm Tommy in Neversink: The WFU comment board is the cone of silence of the internet
	11:40pm Tommy in Neversink: ..FMU
	11:41pm flakes: Robert Plant stole his "Immigrant Song" scream from the Get Smart theme .
	11:45pm Tommy in Neversink: I hear the immigrant song was included in Trump's ban.
	11:49pm Tommy in Neversink: I was in a band in NC in the 70s and we were told by our management we had a gig , when we showed up, it turned out that Gary Lewis and the Playboys were booked and their instruments hadn't arrived ..we had been tricked into showing up with our equipment so they could use it ..we got paid anyway
	11:51pm Tommy in Neversink: ..and free drinks
	11:57pm CSR: Thanks Ira, nice show!
