Marathon Love Hangover: Ken's show

Listener comments!

♥ 6:18am -Ken:

Morning, greatest listeners in the world! Thanks to all who pledged and helped or both!

6:23am Clïff in Prägůe:

Hey Ken, there's a really nasty comment over on the morning show playlist, you might want to look at it

6:25am Clïff in Prägůe:

Poof! It's gone. Never mind. Good morning!

♥ 7:11am -Ken:

Thanks for letting me know Cliff.

7:40am Michael:

Morning and congrats to you, the station and everyone else on the marathon.

7:48am Listener Robert:

Hey, for once it wasn't ME with an unacceptable comment!

7:52am Wild Neil:

PEACE all...Ken, how many WFMU listeners on the internet and on the air? Do you have a rough idea and is that a fair question?

7:56am Listener Counter:

7:58am Wild Neil:

@Listener Counter-Nice. A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference!

♥ 8:03am AnAnonymousParty:

Hey, you're still on the air! Looks like everybody dropped a buck in the hat.

8:36am Listener Robert:

Neil, I've been an Arbitron respondent a few times in my life, but it doesn't matter who writes WFMU in the diaries (as I did) if no SUBSCRIBER to the proprietary results publishes or otherwise makes them available. I don't think Arbitron treats the findings as a trade secret, so subscribers are ALLOWED to disclose them, but few of them have any REASON to do so, except to tout their own station's standing.

8:38am Listener Robert:

The hardest thing was writing "W276AQ" in an Arbitron diary entry space that had room only for 4 letter calls.

♥ 8:41am -Ken:

Neil - It's not a black and white situation as your question suggests, sonce the overwhelming majority of listeners use both the FM and the web to listen, depending on where they are,

8:54am F²°F³° (:

Good morning, Ken and other good people!

Congrats for reaching goal!

9:01am cory:

9:04am Schnipp:

Volunteering for the Marathon a couple of Sundays ago was the highlight of my year thus far, which might tell you what kind of year it's been. #Divorce #SinglesGoingSteady

♥ 9:04am AnAnonymousParty:

Well, all we know for sure is that it WON'T be Chuck Norris.

9:05am Chuck Steak:

I hope it's not me!!

9:05am Wild Neil:

This Can is sublime! I want to get it!

9:05am glenn:

i forget about charley garlic.

9:06am Bronwyn Bishop:

hey ken and everyone! :)

♥ 9:06am AnAnonymousParty:

Chuck Steak, your ass is grass. Unless you were corn-fed, then I take it all back.

9:06am Chop Suey:

What'd you expect, chopped liver?!

9:08am ant brain:

no, thank you

♥ 9:09am Webhamster Henry:

We love you P5, oh yes we do!

♥ 9:10am Ken From Hyde Park:

When you put out high-quality entertainment, good things happen!

9:10am thedunkel:

Thanks for the shout-out ken! much appreciated!

♥ 9:10am Sem Chumbo:

I think 2 Buck Chuck might be on his last legs.

Hiya, Ken, and Ken minions.

9:12am sphere:

9:13am Clïff in Prägůe:

Timothy Bleary's long gone though.

♥ 9:13am doctorjazz:

Hey all!
Nice Big Star.

♥ 9:13am doctorjazz:

Getting the theme (bit slow...)

9:16am Moody Blues:

Ask us about Timothy Leary. Do it.

9:17am Blix:

Did we ever learn what Bruce Springsteen told Pat Byrne about what Bruce thought of WFMU?

9:18am Rev. Turnip Druid:

may i say hello now

9:19am F²°F³° (:

♥ 9:22am MD:

Congrats Ken! Congrats to all my Freeform Family!!!

♥ 9:23am MD:

YOU DID IT! THE BEST CUP OF COFFEE IN THE WORLD!!!

♥ 9:24am -Ken:

Hi again everybody! Getting used to this new fangled studio again. SO NICE to be on the air without having to scream and stuff

9:24am F²°F³° (:

Saying 'thank you' in 30 languages
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCYl7CleK6Y

9:24am Listener Robert:

Wow, when I heard Mr. Jones a couple hrs. ago mention the death of Chuck Barris, I thought it'd been a slip of the tongue for Chuck Berry. I thought Barris died a few yrs. ago.

9:25am glenn:

also, colin dexter has died.

♥ 9:26am -Ken:

Is it me or is Kate flatting?

9:26am mary:

WFMU is the greatest everything!!
please please tell us what Springsteen said to Pat..
I pledged to the visionary Ken, got premium- cant wait to see those big gifs. And I won a CD prize. And heard my name on the radio.
Next year I hope I can double the pledge. I put fmu u in my will though there ain't any money in it as of now....

♥ 9:26am Uncle Michael:

I miss the screaming.

9:26am Bronwyn Bishop:

kate smith, my hometowns good luck charm!

♥ 9:27am Rich in Washington:

She is indeed. At first, I thought this was the originally pitched down slightly

♥ 9:27am dale:

kate smith is no wayne newton when it comes to singing like a girl

9:27am Bronwyn Bishop:

also, i used to only know this song as a rocky horror callback.

9:27am Okasa:

Good morning to Ken and all the kooky Kensters.

♥ 9:28am Rich in Washington:

Wayne's version tops my list of songs I always assumed were sung by female singers.

♥ 9:28am ultradamno:

The spoken word is weak, scream...etc.

9:28am Karen in Sleepy Hollow:

Happy Wednesday! Extra Happy For FMU making the goal!congrats Ken & crew!

♥ 9:28am Rich in Washington:

I also thought Barris had been dead for years.

♥ 9:29am MD:

The Irish one was good..Not just slainte!!!

9:30am Cooh John:

Congrats Ken and WFMU volunteers and listeners. Another year of cavorting and cajoling on the comments board while music plays. SO GLAD I came to the station help out and experience the euphoria of meeting the goal. Great to meet the dj's and listeners.

♥ 9:30am MD:

Gora---Ma---Ha----Goute.....not really the spelling but the best this Italian Boy can do!!!

♥ 9:32am MD:

But Murray Would make her poop on a newspaper!! NOT RIGHT!!!

9:34am cthulhu:

CTHULHU is pleased that the marathon goal was reached, I will permit you to live another day...

9:35am Karen in Sleepy Hollow:

Hey Ken, so when are you guys picking the morning DJ?

♥ 9:35am -Ken:

Not for a while Karen. It's a 40-year contract so y'know...

9:36am Listener Robert:

Mary, as to the prizes & premiums, in some cases they're donated, because the donors love WFMU, and in other cases they're made by the DJs, because they love making them. You hear one aspect of their creativity when they DJ a program, then you hear another aspect when they can spend an extended time putting together such things as compilations and even new productions.

♥ 9:36am Ken From Hyde Park:

I hope the WFMU health plan is solvent once again. Joe McGasko was under the weather the other day. Was it last year or the year before that pretty much the entire staff was affected?

♥ 9:42am -Ken:

Robert - Very nice sentiments but did Mary ask a question and I missed it? Seemed like she was just testifying, not querying.

9:43am Andal:

Just tuned in... is this Afrocelts?!

9:43am Chuck Barris:

The CIA made me appear to be dead for a few years, it was confusing for me too.

♥ 9:45am Andrew Waterloo:

Damn, missed Marc Ribot.

♥ 9:45am Uncle Michael:

I have three degrees of separation from Chuck Barris. I went to boarding school with Chuck's partner; Chris Bearde's daughter, Amanda. She was smokin' hot. I couldn't even speak to her.

9:47am JakeGould:

Which is the next Chuck to kick the bucket? They come in 3s!

9:47am glenn:

welcome to male adolescence, u.m.

♥ 9:48am -Ken:

Andal, that was Acid Arab. I was late posting the song title.

♥ 9:48am Uncle Michael:

Still there, glenn.

♥ 9:49am -Ken:

Is Charles Nelson Reilly dead yet? When did this whole "death" thing get started everybody?

9:49am Cheri Pi:

what version is this Ken?

9:49am zm:

ava gardner says thank you so fitting.

♥ 9:50am -Ken:

It's the single Cheri - I dont like it! It's too fast.

9:50am Cheri Pi:

I need to get tthat, I could listen to it forever

♥ 9:51am Webhamster Henry:

What's more WFMU than psychedelic Eartha Kitt?

9:51am Andal:

@Ken, thank you! That was splendid.

♥ 9:51am MD:

Hurdy Gurdy Gurl! Kat Gurl!!!

9:52am Cheri Pi:

Johnny Marr is reuniting with The The for band’s first new music in 15 years

♥ 9:52am Rich in Washington:

I put the odds on Chuck Manson checking out any day now.

♥ 9:52am Cubicle Carl:

For a moment I thought this was Donavan on 33rpm

♥ 9:53am Andrew Waterloo:

Strap your ears in people, they're going for a ride.

9:53am Sam:

I'm just a little hurdy gurdy of a man
Got a moose, got a mousse
Can you stew a tan mango

9:53am Bronwyn Bishop:

this song is bad, but i kind of like it

♥ 9:53am Guido from Cologne:

Hi Ken!
Great Eartha Kitt version!
Congrats 4 marathon success from my side here! :-)

9:53am Roberto:

My wife's friend dated the bass player from FNB.

9:53am Maria D:

Oh, god, no. There's nothing worse than this Four Non Blondes song.

9:54am Mark S:

Sadly Charles Nelson Reilly died in 2007

Abe Vigoda is really dead, and the Internet just lost its favorite living celebrity:

mashable.com...

♥ 9:54am dale:

ken, linda perry's 'in flight' cd is a good 'un. not a request, just for your listening pleasure.

9:55am glenn:

there's PLENTY worse than four non blondes.

♥ 9:55am -Ken:

Thanks for the news Mark S. This whole "death" thing seems to be getting totally out of hand.

9:55am KRYPT:

Hey Ken, what the hell have I done to deserve this?

9:55am cobradan:

Why is Ken punishing us with Four Non Blondes?

♥ 9:55am melinda:

I like this Four Non Blondes.

9:55am Clïff in Prägůe:

Actually Abe Vigoda died over a year ago. I knew things were very, very wrong when HE kicked the bucket.

9:55am Sam:

I remember that "Ooh, ooh" bit being used in commercials to promote the album

9:55am Will-X:

Is it possible to get our pledge money back?

♥ 9:55am melinda:

Didn't Pat Byrne do this at a Hoof n Mouth?

9:56am F²°F³° (:

I am desperately trying to think of an anti-dote song to counter-act What's Up but I just can't focus! Help, people!

9:56am Sam:

This song is collective punishment against all the listeners for the misdeeds of a few.

♥ 9:56am MD:

It Feels good to know we hit the goal before Monday 11Am this time!!! Takes a Village People! (Of lovable Freaks!!! XO!)

9:56am cobradan:

I think I found something I hate more than Hall & Oates

9:57am Clïff in Prägůe:

Pffft, what a bunch whiners. I like it.

9:57am voltlife:

Am I the only one that hates 4 Non Blondes?

♥ 9:57am ultradamno:

You are not

♥ 9:57am melinda:

@Cliff: truth

9:57am Okasa:

Yesterday I watched the Adventure Time episode "Jermaine" for the first time. I couldn't put my finger on who voiced Jermaine but it was soooo familiar that I had to look it up. Of course it was.

♥ 9:58am -Ken:

Somebody did melinda, and after that marathon ended, around 12 FMU staffers in their 30s danced a drunken hora to that FNB song. I realized the song had special meaning to people 20 years my junior

9:58am StuBot:

JONES IS KING OF MORNING RADIO! ALL HAIL THE KING!

♥ 9:58am dale:

and a nice segue too!

9:58am Roberto:

So can anyone tell me who the goth-looking person with the conductor's baton in the front row of the marathon gif is?

9:59am Katherine:

Love you Ken, especially for the four non blondes song, glad wfmu can be itself again!

9:59am Sam:

Jonesy!

9:59am glenn:

how about some platinum blonde, if you want worse?

♥ 10:00am melinda:

Great story, Ken. As I remember it Pat sort of dove into the audience and was held aloft and carried around by crowd members for a bit.

10:00am Doc McGhee:

Kenny baby, congrats for your successful marathon. Keep kicking a$$!

♥ 10:00am Glasgow's own "tom.":

good afternoon Ken & friends. i am back in work and extremely resentful

10:00am StuBot:

LOVE the vibe this morning, I listened from 7am, was a great trip, Ubered thru Harlem, back across the GW, sitting in edgewater at the banks of the Hudson listening to you wrap it up beautifully. Love to you Jonsey.

10:00am Henry:

snape

♥ 10:00am tomasz.:

@Roberto: it's Alan Rickman as whoever he was in that Harry Potter film

10:01am F²°F³° (:

Pink Floyd is the best anti-dote to anything!

♥ 10:02am Irwin:

Nick Mason — the worst drummer in rock!

10:02am Roberto:

Ahhhhhh thank you tomasz! This is what I get for having never watched a Harry Potter film.

♥ 10:02am MD:

That Human Nose Zit is driving me Nuts!!!

♥ 10:02am Andrew Waterloo:

Well, that's the second time in a month I didn't know who Voldemort was.

♥ 10:03am Andrew Waterloo:

@Roberto, I had the same problem watching Lego batman. I kept thinking that I hadn't seen that particular Dracula.

10:04am βrian:

They made Harry Potter into a film?

10:04am Roberto:

And the woman in blue to the left of Leia? Is that Janet Reno or something?

♥ 10:04am Uncle Michael:

Try not to be bitter, Tom.

10:05am Bronwyn Bishop:

its leia's mom

10:05am Bronwyn Bishop:

she died when their planet blew up, very sad

10:06am Parq:

Roberto, dang good guess, though.

10:06am Roberto:

Oh duh, that's Debbie Reynolds. It makes sense she, Leia, and R2 would all be together.

10:07am F²°F³° (:

Irwin,

And let's not forget Nick Masonry is the best marble rock!

10:07am Mark S:

Debbbie Reynolds died when the planet blew up?

♥ 10:08am SadSackSuperman:

High in the Colorado Rockies, first time live listen to Ken's show. Marc Ribot can do no wrong. 4 Non Blondes? Not so much, but, indeed, the Floyd kept me in my seat. Keep it up, Ken!

10:09am Roberto:

And "Mickey Mantle?" Phife Dawg maybe?

10:10am Cheri Pi:

FNB= Nay

10:10am Sam:

Ken you're hilarious

10:10am tomasz.:

you're not wrong Uncle M.

10:11am Sam:

There's no way to tell which direction the train is going in that gif

♥ 10:11am Greg from ZONE 5:

@Ken: That was actually after Hearty White's show and the CD of everybody's H&M songs was playing. It's an objectively terrible song, but nostalgia is nostalgia.

♥ 10:12am Bjarne:

Anybody here know a good cocktail waitress?

10:13am Sam:

I know someone who was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar

10:13am glenn:

wait - the ohio players were from philadelphia? that seems geographically inept.

10:13am F²°F³° (:

well, with beer goggles Four Non Blonds sounds like 400 Non Blonds. But we are all sober now, Ken! Right, Cliff?! Cliiiiiiiiiiff?!

♥ 10:13am Andrew Waterloo:

There is a rare consensus that FNB is terrible, and it's fun to sing along too.

10:13am βrian:

Dulcet Joe.

10:13am I just made a pledge online, from Germany. did it:

Hello ken do you have a weirdo tattoo ?
Aileen from germany

10:14am Clïff in Prägůe:

I'm drinking plain ol' water right now.

10:14am βrian:

(He's the WFMU LSD.)

♥ 10:14am tomasz.:

i love that 4NB m'self, but i have a fondness for extremely big melodic soft rock anthems

10:15am glenn:

coldplay is worse than 4nb, for example.

♥ 10:15am tomasz.:

Eilert Pilarm! nice

10:15am MONEYBAG$:

Coldplay should always be confined to the womb

♥ 10:16am ⓘⓚⓔ:

You could have e-mails to the Listener Services Director go to, say, lsd@wfmu.org instead, right? And set it to redirect to his actual address. But then Joe would get a lot of jokes about being on acid, and his new nickname could be Ol' Acid Bastard or something.

♥ 10:16am SadSackSuperman:

Coldplay ought to have hung it up after that original Yellow track. Such promise, I heard. Utterly squandered.

10:16am βrian:

This calls to mind the lonely high plains of Sweden.

10:16am Listener Robert:

Sorry, -Ken@9:42, no I was just using the "hook" of Mary's nice experience as my excuse to gush about the fun. She wasn't asking a Q. Just part of my awkward posting pattern.

10:16am Parq:

Wow. Just wow.

♥ 10:17am dale:

10,000 eilert fans can't be wrong.

10:18am F²°F³° (:

Aileen,

Ken has an Eagles tattoo which is not weird. But the fact that the very WFMU General Manager has it makes it very weird.

10:18am glenn:

i've heard green green grass performed live by johnny cash, john otway, and jon langford, with the sadies and a welsh male choir, which was fantastic.

10:19am President Farter:

So who's the woman next to Gene Wilder and Laughing Len? Only one I can't place.SAD!

♥ 10:20am Andrew Waterloo:

Sharon Jones.

10:20am Roberto:

Speaking of green green grass, you haven't played Green Green Grass and High High Tides in a while.

♥ 10:20am pantz:

Worse than 4 Non Blondes

10:21am Agent Peter:

How do you turn a duck into an R&B musician?

Put it in the microwave until it's Bill Withers

10:21am F²°F³° (:

Cliff,

The alcohol content in Czech water contains 38% alc/vol. This is why they drink Becherovka for breakfast tea!

♥ 10:22am ɨkɛ:

...so that idea might not work too well, because Joe McG would surely object to being nicknamed Lysergic Services Director, or Acid Butt, or whatever.

10:22am President Farter:

@Andrew Thanks!

♥ 10:22am MD:

We Need some Khlam Chowder to Celebrate with!!!

10:22am Clïff in Prägůe:

Hahaha....Becherovka. Like all of Christmas in your mouth, all at once!

♥ 10:22am tomasz.:

@pantz: "I'm finally disabling comments. Everyone posts the same comments over and over about incest or CORK. Every now and then a fight breaks out." strong YouTube description

10:23am thedunkel:

KHLam Bake!

10:23am Roberto:

Cowboy hat front and center -- Merle Haggard?

10:24am parkfencerman:

I'm here for the Khlam jokes

10:25am Clïff in Prägůe:

Dude in "Bienhoa" shirt??

♥ 10:25am melinda:

Nice mashup

♥ 10:25am pantz:

@tomasz. Yes, it's crappy music but seems pretty innocuous.

10:26am βrian:

@Roberto: Must be Pierre Boulez.

10:26am northguineahills:

I believe the chap in the bottom left is Alan Vega....

♥ 10:26am AnAnonymousParty:

So I sez to the guy, "Nice eagles tattoo." And he says, "A tattoo of more than one eagle is not an Eagles tattoo." I'll never make that mistake again.

10:26am parkfencerman:

@Cliff I think that's Alan Vega

♥ 10:26am Fine-aight:

I was watching the video of the Fundraising-End Hoof n Mouth Extravaganza from Sunday night yesterday...How'd the "F*** Andy Breckman," line go over with the FCC? Was Joe Belock quick with the button?

10:27am mary:

cliff- Alan Vega of Suicide

♥ 10:27am MD:

Distorted guitar or 6 string Fender Bass???

10:27am bobdoesthings:

good morning

♥ 10:28am AnAnonymousParty:

@MD: Is that a trick question?

10:28am Roberto:

Pierre Boulez in the cowboy hat? All right then.

10:28am glenn:

probably a baritone guitar.

10:29am Okasa:

Pretty sure the guy front and center in the cowboy hat is Torgo. Seriously.

10:29am Clïff in Prägůe:

Thanks mary & parkfencerman! (What's the significance of "bienhoa" though?)

♥ 10:29am Fine-aight:

In the spirit of the lost spirits on the front page - heard a George Michael song on It's Always Sunny... last night and didn't believe that he died in 2016 because he wasn't in that pyramid of the dead on the front page

♥ 10:29am -Ken:

Fine-aight - it didnt go over the air. The video has the un-FCC-ized mix.

10:29am sphere:

this 101 Strings tune is insane. i want!

♥ 10:30am MD:

Yes...I know Bass Guitars should have only 4 strings...I Myself will not be caught with one with more that 4 strings!!! 2 would be just fine...

10:30am F²°F³° (:

Fine-aight,

I believe video doesn't count. Radio does. Even comments. For instance, if I type FCC ______ you! Ken will quickly censored the F word.

Anyway, FCC, _____ YOUUUUUU!!!

♥ 10:32am tomasz.:

wait, what?!

10:34am President Farter:

Was potty mouthed Joe McGasco's F-bomb caught on air?

10:35am sphere:

I don't think Fender makes six-string basses. Just four-string basses, I believe

♥ 10:36am fred:

@Roberto: Good one! Though I think the on on the right of the third row is closer

♥ 10:36am ultradamno:

This song should be the theme for the show Riverdale

10:37am Mark S:

en.wikipedia.org...

♥ 10:37am MD:

daddy will give anything to his blond daughter/wife....even her own office in the WH...

10:38am Bronwyn Bishop:

love this song!

10:38am ant brain:

yesss Courtney Barnett

10:38am glenn:

fender absolutely makes six string basses. and five string.

♥ 10:39am -Ken:

Courtney's guitar playing is so unique and amazing..

10:39am rH3rityWSFM:

YEEZZ this song

♥ 10:39am MD:

The "YOu stop people from dyin..." line is the Best!!!

♥ 10:40am -Ken:

More songs about asthma attacks coming up!

♥ 10:41am fred:

The Ribot GIF captures my mindset when the marathon was stuck around 60% for a few days

♥ 10:41am ultradamno:

I think the natural follow up is "Strange Girl In Clothes" by Avant Gardener

♥ 10:41am bigkafka:

Avant Gardener!

10:42am glenn:

nice to see i'm the 71st person to clicky star avant gardener.

10:44am Roberto:

I just tested my 20-year-old daughter's pop culture knowledge by seeing how many dead celebrities she could identify in the pyramid. She didn't recognize Abe Vigoda. :(

10:44am (Murakami Whywolf))):

I was going to say that if you had told me someone could write a truly great song about an asthma attack, I'd have been sceptical, but…`"Do you believe in infant baptism?'/`BELIEVE in it?—I've seen it DONE! '"

10:46am Clïff in Prägůe:

With This Queer Helmet and Set of Flasks playing a show together at Monty Hall soon! Ask Ken for details.

♥ 10:47am Threemoons:

Is that Blixa Bargeld in the pyramid?

10:47am Clïff in Prägůe:

Isn't Blixa still alive?!

10:47am βrian:

Asthmatic Kitty would fit, but it would be an odd fit.

♥ 10:48am Oscar:

Aw, Toy Dolls! Yes!

♥ 10:48am melinda:

Darn, missed the Courtney Barnett

10:49am Mark S:

Blixa Bargeld is among the living

10:49am sphere:

sorry, glenn. you're absolutely right. why i've never seen a Fender 5- or 6-string i'll never know.

10:49am Andy the painter:

yes! another year of hippie punk noise!!!

10:50am Listener Robert:

Advance, not advanced. Although I guess when you play them in the future, like now, the obituaries are advanced.

10:51am bobdoesthings:

definitely not a basic obit

10:51am Sam:

Is this the first advance obituary you've played?

10:51am herb.nyc:

back in the 80s, i was at Free Being rec shop on 2nd avenue, e.village. i asked the big punk worker if he had any Toy Dolls, and i said "they're like funny hardcore" and he said "funny, yeah, haha". not in a friendly way.

10:53am Sam:

You know that new sound you're looking for? Well listen to this!

♥ 10:53am Webhamster Henry:

I think both Fats Domino AND Chubby Checker are still alive!

10:55am Ashley:

Too early in the day to hear Andy's voice. Sad!

10:55am Clïff in Prägůe:

Chuck Berry: fan-TAS-tic!

♥ 10:55am AnAnonymousParty:

blueberryhill.com...

10:55am Roberto:

Yep Fats and Chubby still kicking. Obese Ollie, however, is no longer with us.

10:56am Sam:

I'm with you Ashley, it's like drinking hard liquor in the morning.

10:58am Bill W:

Well, Chuck's posthumous FMU honeymoon lasted about 84 hours! (Or did anyone play this Saturday night?)

♥ 10:58am Threemoons:

Yeah, I know Blixa is still alive, so who is that person on the bottom who sort of looks like him?

10:59am Sam:

Andy was probably in the masturbatorium when he heard the news. That's a safe bet.

10:59am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Andy shouldn't have stated his age.

♥ 10:59am Ken From Hyde Park:

This is totally hilarious!

11:02am Clïff in Prägůe:

I almost went for The Thing With The Lights & Antennae That Connects To The Transmitter, but I adopted the Live Music Mixing Board instead.

Hey Kenneth, Chuck Berry is left handed in the dead pyramid. That's not right. It will f@ck up his duck walk.

11:11am F²°F³° (:

Ken,

Who recorded -and in what year- the Bob Dylan's advance obituary?

And more importantly what are the chances that whoever recorded it dies before Bob Dylan?

11:11am howard in nyc:

Mary Wing ran down the lineup on Sunday night, the comments sec of the marathon finale

♥ 11:13am Passaic River Blues:

Love Ken singing the Bowie song lambasting Ricky Gervais from "Extras".

F²°F³° (:, if Keith Richards recorded it, the chances are zero.

11:13am Carmichael:

This sounds like Andy music.

11:13am (Murakami Whywolf))):

`[Stuck in 1947!—]We'll have to endure the horrible music of the Big Bopper, and then the terrible tragedy of his death! '

Per Mary Wing:

1) Alan Vega (from Suicide), Abe Vigoda, Merle Haggard, Alan Rickman (as Severus Snape), Fidel Castro

2) Gene Wilder (as Willy Wonka), Sharon Jones, Leonard Cohen, Phife Dawg (from A Tribe Called Quest)

3) Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher (as Princess Leia), Kenny Baker (as R2D2)

4) David Bowie, Prince

11:35am F²°F³° (:

Ken,

If you are going to play 'Four Non Blondes' at least give us 60 minutes notice or enough time to finish a bottle of rum. Then, bring the ______ FNB on and I will sing it along Cliff!

11:41am breaking news:

london police are treating it as a "terrorist attack" is no one near a tv.KEN? you must have a tv in the studio?

11:41am F²°F³° (:

If the aggressor is Muslim is a terrorist attack. Otherwise is just a shooting or stabbing.

11:50am GEN X:

Go Ken, always bringing the bad news to the people!

11:51am fred:

go Ken!

11:51am JakeGould:

Speaking of knives and self defense, I very clearly remember a self-defense video floating around the “check out this dumb crap” world that had some guy showing off how everything could be a hidden weapon. Like knives were hidden everywhere and if you bought his video tape—and followed it—you could then protect yourself from all of the hidden knives of the world.

Anyone else remember it? Pretty sure someone in the Mr. Show world—Patton Oswalt or Paul F. Tompkins—talked about it.

PS: Bob Odenkirk talked about a similar anti-crime guy who they based the parody “Shake the Crime Stick!” on but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the same guy.
