	♥ 6:40pm Krys O.: Could be, Carmichael. I think we heard Franks' influence in another show's selection.
	💆 ♥ 6:40pm ultradamno: Why does the Dalai Lama look like the excited one?
	6:40pm Carmichael: This is dentist office music. Or an opener for Kenny G.
	6:40pm slugluv1313: oh gosh he is touring! but only in Denmark, as far as i can tell
	♥ 6:40pm dale: i always wanted to put 'mystic' on my resume. i should have for all the good my resume did me.
	6:40pm Jeff Moore: "caused painful kundalini-like experiences"

	6:41pm Jeff Moore: WTFing F.
	6:41pm Joanne: that album title is so creepy

	♥ 6:46pm queems: damn she's really right up on that mic
	♥ 6:46pm Folsom: wasn't it Flavoraid vs Koolaid?
	6:46pm Carmichael: I was a member of the UN military mission that arrived in Jonestown after the deaths. My wife (girlfriend at the time) worked in California as an unpaid intern to Rep. Leo Ryan. Complete coincidence. Some shit I can never un-remember.
	♥ 6:47pm dale: lordy!
	♥ 6:47pm dale: my wine glass just shattered
	6:47pm J: This will be much better when Numero remixes and reissues

	♥ 6:48pm Krys O.: Egad, Carmichael!
	6:49pm Linda Lee: i'm sure we can't imagine, really.
	6:49pm Jeff Moore: I keep trying to break myself of using phrases related to "drinking the Kool-Aid" lightly, to show some respect for the victims of that mass murder... but sometimes I fail.
	♥ 6:49pm dale: witness to history carmichael. not our best history, but history nevertheless.
	6:49pm Jeff Moore: Holy fuck, @Carmichael.
	💆 ♥ 6:50pm ultradamno: Instead of "drinking the Kool Aid" the idiom should be "following your cult leader to somewhere impossibly remote"
	6:50pm Linda Lee: how old was this poor girl?
	💆 ♥ 6:52pm chris: i met Jones' son Steven and his daughters when they came by to visit my neighbor several years ago. the pain and suffering in his face is something i'll never forget.
	♥ 6:52pm dale: our extinguished guests?
	♥ 6:53pm coelacanth∅: poor girl? what about us listeners?!
	♥ 6:53pm melinda: I've always thought the kool-aid metaphor was imprecise, at least the way people tend to use it. Like the imbibing of it is part of an ongoing indoctrination ritual when really it was a one-time death thing.
	6:54pm slugluv1313: goodness, Carmichael -- how awful -- sending you POSITIVE ENERGY
	♥ 6:55pm melinda: @Carm holy crap.
	♥ 6:55pm Tommy in Neversink: I went to a few Bihai meetings in High Point , NC in the 70s
	💆 ♥ 6:56pm ultradamno: @Melinda Straight murder. It was drink it or be shot.
	6:56pm Linda Lee: what were they like, Tommy?
	♥ 6:56pm Tommy in Neversink: Wasn't exactly the "high point " of my life
	6:56pm LilyAbigale: Nice flute work! Soothing after remembering Jonestown. Thanks.
	♥ 6:57pm Rich in Washington: Not to be the pedant, but it should be 'Drank the Flavor Aid', since that's what they really used.
	♥ 6:57pm Tommy in Neversink: LL, hard to remember , people were pretty nice and I'd never had Iranian food which was great
	6:58pm Linda Lee: that's not bad!
	6:59pm Jeff Moore: Good point, @melinda. Maybe the spectre of an imprecise metaphor can help me rein myself in where a wish not to trivialize human tragedy hasn't quite done it.
	💆 ♥ 6:59pm chris: thanks, micah. tough one todoy, but much appreciated.
	♥ 6:59pm melinda: @ultradamno exactly. Flavor-aid as loaded gun. Drinking it wasn't necessarily a sign of belief in the cause, some people were forcibly injected with poison as well.
	♥ 7:00pm Tommy in Neversink: LL..along those lines: went to the Indian grocery in Middltown today
	♥ 7:00pm coelacanth∅: i would've thrown the koolaid in the face (mouth, eyes, nose) of the person with the gun and if i couldn't run away at least i'd be shot and there'd be more immediate proof that it was murder. (...of course if i were weak enough to be there in the first place that might not have happened)
