Listener comments!

	9:08pm Ciggy: Bill Kelly and Rock & Roll are like fire and gasoline. EFD, light the match!

	9:32pm Mike Sin: Happy 40th year to Bill Kelly! I'm happy to say that I've been listening for 35 of those 40 years. "Teenage Wasteland" from 12pm to 4pm on Sundays was surely my "gateway" show to all things WFMU.
	9:39pm Tim: hi
	9:42pm acid casualty: Congrats, Bill for making 40 years! You were my gateway to wfmu also some 38 (!) years ago. Thanks for turning me on to all "the mindless teenage brain rot."

	9:49pm DJ E: Anyone who bashes the Red Sox has my undying loyalty.
	9:53pm john kwi: Thanks Bill "killer" Kelly. I still remember the the day I was driving down the GSP and Bill informed everyone to stick their heads out the window and proclaim : I hate the Grateful dead" 40 years of good stuff and then some.
	9:59pm Tommy in Neversink: Thank you Bill Kelly for all the years of service to FMU ...I've listened to you for 20 years

	10:25pm medson: Show sounds great. Made for a long night at work a little easier.

	11:11pm johnk77: CKLW was the real deal. Great work tonight selecters:>
	11:13pm Danne D: Bill Kelly is one of the gateways to gateways at this point as surely he was the gateway for more than a few people who would go to be FMU djs :)
	11:13pm mb: Congrats indeed. Any time someone mentions Little Stevies show I say "Oh there is a DJ on WFMU who does that kind of show at a better time on Sundays." Which is usually followed by 'what is WFMU?'.

	11:37pm Hoboken Jack: Driving back to Hoboken some years ago, I heard a cool song in which a guy dropped a bowling ball through a pinball machine, but I missed the back announcing. They didn't have these newfangled accu-playlists in those days, so I emailed the DJ, Bill Kelly. He wrote back, telling me it was a young band called the White Stripes. Thanks Bill!
