	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Therese. Peace and strength to you.
	10:16pm Carmichael: Let’s all love X Ray.
	10:20pm steveL: I'm impressed that anyone at WFMU, especially Jones, can speak in full sentences without being overwhelmed by emotion. Y'all are doing just fine!
	10:21pm E. Tage Larsen: I think Maxwell's is where he licked the stage.
	10:21pm Dean: Sorry, but listening now to Glen's show this a.m., which I missed. Chicago. "Color My World." The sweetest tribute.
	10:21pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: "Jerseyist"... got it. Jersey Jeez. love you all
	10:23pm spodiodi: digital audio workstation
	10:24pm dmart New Mexico: All of you DJs have been so lovely today. Glen was strong and held steady; Bob pushed forward right after the news; you guys are doing great. Enjoying the show! I stumbled across these two and they were my gateway to WFMU.
	10:24pm asheville jon: Just hearing about X-Ray. So sorry to hear this.
	10:25pm a.: I think DAW was short for digital audio workstation
	10:25pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Not to worry. Lots of things to play. Doing well! Aren't we all radio survivors?
	10:25pm El Pierogie: “If you knock over a liquor store, maybe you have some addiction problems, maybe you’re hard up for cash, whatever. But if you’re mean to a dog, you’re just a jerk.” —X Ray Burns
	10:27pm Frank Meegan: as above- DAW= Digital Audio Workstation. But I mostly know that term through studio recording, like Logic and ProTools. Don't know its use for radio. So sad about X Ray. I never went to the holiday party or one of the remotes but I figured I would one day. I listened every Sunday for years. First time I heard them ever and knew I had to find out what this show was and where to listen, X Ray was saying, "Nothing says, "HOW ARE YA!?!!" like a gun, baby!"
	10:30pm Deborah: Glen Jones' show was a love song to X Ray.. It was heartbreaking. Still so sad. Thank you for the tribute.
	10:30pm phat: I'm sorry I missed Jonsey today. sigh
	10:31pm phat: there are specific DAWs designed for broadcast/radio.
	10:31pm E. Tage Larsen: "Beware the Robot Menace... Never give a robot gum. Never point a robot at the sun." - X Ray
	♥ 10:31pm Chop Scott: Hang in there Therese & Jack! We are all very sad but together on the air. I always worry about the Digital Audio Workstation in Studio B being buggy.
	10:32pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Listened to 'FMU and Glen/Xray via dial up.
	10:34pm spodiodi: that was hard to listen to. i had to turn it off when i sensed scariness
	♥ 10:34pm coelacanth∅: Glen's show was very different when he started. his music; everything.
	♥ 10:34pm medson: Listening to Jones and X Ray talk reminded me of my Dad and Uncle spinning tales at family parties.
	10:36pm Carmichael: @medson, exactly. I always loved the banter, like two buds talking shit.
	♥ 10:37pm Joe D.: if it wasn't for X-Ray Burns I never would have learned to fully appreciate New Jersey
	♥ 10:37pm Joe D.: "All that X.Ray has is his balls and his word... and some whiskey and some cigarettes and a Cadillac... and a beagle... and another dog."
	10:37pm Kym: I felt like they were long-lost uncles.
	10:38pm spodiodi: his dogs are crazy cute. poor little pooches are missing him, i'm sure
	10:38pm Nick: Hey guys--thanks so much for doing your tribute to X Ray. Not being from Jersey, I started listening to them when I moved here some years ago. I will miss his voice on Sundays.
	♥ 10:40pm Vanessa bikes: Thanks for paying tribute, I am pleased that this passing is being so well noted by the DJs. Sunday WFMU has been my church for 30 years so I have been a member of IBJ for as long as I can remember. The word I keep thinking of for X-Ray is irreverent. So much entertainment from X-Ray and also enlightening to experience getting to know someone who you might have never bothered with yet to appreciate how brilliant and deep they are. This is something I carry on to everyone I meet in life. My deep sympathies to Sharon, Glen, all the DJ's who knew him, his family and all the listeners who cared, we will miss you Kenneth!
	10:41pm Kevin: Excerpt from L.A Martin Arcticle Q: What would you say is the guiding philosophy of the program? J: Live like you wanna live, play what you want, do what you want, and hope someone understands. Burns? B: Speak the truth, defend the constitution, speak the unspeakable, and live till you die. Q: If you could instill one value into your listeners what would that be? J: The first thing that came to mind is probably the thing to say, but it's very corny. I was gonna say love life and shit. Maybe I should change it to lust for life. Enjoy yourself. B: Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think. B: The values I would like to instill in the people, even though I'm a jerkoff by trade—I fancy myself a comedian but I'm not a comedian I'm just a jerkoff—but one thing you have to remember is to love your family and remember that each day could be your last, love the lord, be nice to everybody, and stay home. They got all this shit today they're just bringing it into your home out of the sky. There's no reason to go out. And that's it.
	10:42pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: The best part of "the city" is New Jersey. You're doing great! Time for a version of "Cast your fate to the wind". You all are awesome
	10:43pm E. Tage Larsen: ^ thanks Kevin.
	10:43pm spodiodi: yeah, nice, Kevin.
	10:43pm MelindafromAustin: I always loved hearing about the dogs, the pills, the costumes, .....the childhood stores, the punk rock stories.... all of it....
	10:44pm mb: Sad day. R.I.P. X-Ray Burns. End of an era.
	♥ 10:45pm Joe D.: twitter.com...
	10:45pm Carmichael: What would X Ray want for a funeral?
	10:45pm Kym: @Melinda, don't forget all the weird fantasies they had about going into a deli and shoving various body parts into a meat slicer. So much Sunday entertainment...
	10:46pm E. Tage Larsen: i think i remember him saying he wanted to be stuffed.
	10:47pm Kevin: I can picture him saying that!
	10:47pm Neil from ft worth: It’s hard to verbalize the essence of the X-ray/GJ pairing, but you guys are somehow nailing it. Mad props. Love to the WFMU famz
	10:47pm Carmichael: A kick line us a nice tribute.
	10:49pm Carmichael: *is
	10:49pm Listener Robert: Jonesy's understatement of the day, "X-Ray's on assignment...and it's a doozy!"
	♥ 10:49pm Chop Scott: I will never forget trying to run a remote broadcast from the IBJ cruise event on the Jewel with Liz Berg. X-Ray handed me his flask and said that we should set up the gear behind him, we'd be protected and taken care of. True to his word! A magnificent clown prince among men. I raise a glass towards getting' all banged up.
	10:50pm E. Tage Larsen: it had "stains"
	10:52pm Carmichael: Jaysis, now’s the time for the stories. He was a magnificent man!
	10:52pm Kevin: Mollusks the world over sigh relief now
	♥ 10:52pm herb.nyc: X.Ray had a great method of scratching off his lottery tickets, scoffing at those who do it wantonly on the street.
	10:53pm TheLoneliestMonk: wfmu.org/jones/loop1.html
	♥ 10:53pm Scott Williams: X-Ray lunches: mess you up
	10:53pm E. Tage Larsen: That cruise! They said it was the first time ever that boat had run out of booze during a day trip. IBJ for life.
	10:53pm Kym: @herb, what was his method?
	10:54pm TheLoneliestMonk: www.wfmu.org...
	10:55pm Carmichael: I know Liz from KVDS. Hard working dj.
	10:55pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: "Still with us"?
	10:55pm Carmichael: *KDVS
	♥ 10:57pm herb.nyc: Lottery tix-"no no no, you don't scratch yr tickets on the street. Ya gotta go home, sit in yr favorite chair w yr favorite drink and chips, and slowly scratch...". Or something like that.
	♥ 10:57pm medson: The update to the go fund me page made me laugh during the sad news
	♥ 10:58pm Chop Scott: As I remember the IBJ cruise on The Jewel was delayed heading out because they realized the beer supply wasn't even close to enough--and a pizza delivery...
	♥ 10:59pm Joe D.: the story I heard is they drank all the booze before they left the dock
	♥ 10:59pm Switchblade Batman: Friendster died, it became an online gaming site. Myspace is around, but it's weird now.
	♥ 10:59pm Joe D.: X-Ray Burns (1999): "They did give me a locker. But I contribute very little to the station other than my marathon pledge and every now and then I donate like something, you know, like piece of furniture or something. And I try not to break anything when I'm there. But they've always frowned on Jones even when they didn't know him because he did play like "Kung Fu Fighting" and stuff. And yet they have to understand that your cachet is different from their cachet. And that's the best thing about the station is that everyone's doing their own thing. It's wacko, man, it's wacko. You could listen for like two hours to Indonesian like bug music and you flip over the next minute you got like Mississippi Blues for a few hours and it's great. And there's nothing in this area that comes close, even some of the pretenders. Well, they try, and freeform is good even if you don't agree with the content. But they would kill Jones in Albania. They would kill you for playing "Kung Fu Fighting."
	10:59pm Mikey_B: big stashs and white rose. joy of life. rip burns and shout out to the icp and ibj.
	10:59pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: herb.nyc - Yes there is a ritual.
	11:01pm Bill W: RIP X-Ray, who didnt know me from Adam but would give me a hearty handshake at the marathon.
	♥ 11:02pm Switchblade Batman: Timberlake did buy it, and turned it into an ad for his terrible terrible music. But now it's like a social media site for like top 40 music. and spammers
	11:02pm Henry Ryan: Me:. Dear God, you took David Bowie away from us. If you take Bryan Ferry, I will fight you. That's no lie. X. Ray: God will fuck you up.
	11:03pm E. Tage Larsen: ^ Joe D. nice. source?
	11:03pm linda: https://www.facebook.com/XRayQuotes/
	♥ 11:03pm Switchblade Batman: YW, and I'm sorry for your loss. X-Ray was awesome
	♥ 11:08pm listener 126464: Schuyler Diner/Pizzaland/Chicken Delight
	11:10pm MelindafromAustin: @kym oh yass! Tons of bodily harm happening....
	♥ 11:13pm listener 126464: X-Ray kept me updated on the situation in Kearny (parents live around the block from him) when power was out during Sandy.
	11:14pm Listener Robert: Wait, there were people who listened to Jonesy & Burnsy FOR THE MUSIC?!!
	♥ 11:15pm listener 126464: saw psychedelic furs at aldo's
	♥ 11:17pm Joe D.: X-Ray Burns (1999) - "The first time my mom tuned in she heard me tell the story of how I shot the beercan off of Jones's head with a .357 magnum. It wasn't on the air but we were describing the event on the air. And my mother called me up and she was crying and she's like, you really didn't do that with your father's gun. And I said no. No. Even if I was stupid enough to attempt something like that, what makes you think Jones would be stupid enough to let me shoot a beer can off his head. In the meantime I still got the beercan at home. We did cheat though because I was very close and it was a tall boy."
	♥ 11:20pm listener 126464: Gotta bail. Thanks DJs!
	♥ 11:21pm Scott Williams: script on this one by Gaylord Fields
	♥ 11:21pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Oh. This is so hard.
	11:21pm E. Tage Larsen: cute "brooklyn zoo" call out, Terese
	♥ 11:22pm Chop Scott: "Up to no good in Maplewood"
	♥ 11:22pm Joe D.: oh no
	♥ 11:22pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I don't think there's anyone I ever enjoyed listening to on the radio as X.Ray Burns, and not a lot of people in the rest of the world, either.
	🎸 ♥ 11:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: "Satan Island"
	♥ 11:26pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I would pledge multiple times to get X.Ray to read off ridiculous things.
	11:27pm Listener Robert: Wasn't "Satan Island" Kamikaze Diane's line? Maybe Terre T.'s considering she lived there.
	♥ 11:27pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I remember this, what year was it?
	11:27pm Dan: Primo, guys!
	♥ 11:29pm RomanDogBird: 2013, Pete: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:30pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): OK, that makes sense. I saw him that weekend and he was giddily describing the plans to do this song.
	♥ 11:31pm Joe D.: unreal
	11:32pm Dan: https://www.gofundme.com/xrayburns https://www.gofundme.com/xrayburns https://www.gofundme.com/xrayburns https://www.gofundme.com/xrayburns
	♥ 11:33pm Switchblade Batman: I always thought Brooklyn Zoo was a reference to ODB
	11:34pm E. Tage Larsen: ^ believe it's Beasties. Paul's Boutique.
	11:34pm Neil from ft worth: I was informed earlier that X-ray passed on the same day his beloved dad, and that this brings family members a kind of consolation. Helps this anonymous listener as well.
	11:36pm E. Tage Larsen: February made me shiver...
	♥ 11:36pm Switchblade Batman: sorry, I don't mean to be a fact checker. I was just trying to converse
	♥ 11:39pm Joe D.: "They sell beer in the grocery store, where it doesn't belong"
	♥ 11:40pm Therese: No! Thank you, Switchblade, we need some fact checking sometimes!
	♥ 11:42pm silentkid: Shame on you, when you step through to The Ol' Dirty Bastard, Brooklyn Zoo!
	11:44pm Aaron in Minneapolis: Buchner and Garcia
	11:44pm phat: Buckner and Garcia I still have the cassette
	11:45pm Aaron in Minneapolis: They did an acoustic version of it a few years back
	11:45pm Pat Byrne: Thank you both
	11:47pm Aaron in Minneapolis: Hey pat I miss calling into your show
	11:47pm em2cl: The joke X-Ray always made about those who passed on was that "they're with Nixon and Larry Hovis now in heaven...."
	♥ 11:48pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Larry Hovis!
	11:49pm mb: "Jonsey" "Ahhhhhhhhhhh" or "weeee" My ex-wife HATED The Glen Jones Radio Progamme. Used to make me turn it off. Who knows some of the zingers or stories i missed. Unforgiveable.
	11:51pm flashbazbo: he was also on laugh in.
	11:52pm Aaron in Minneapolis: Can you change the bed music. It’s a great cover but. Yeah
	11:55pm Aaron in Minneapolis: It’s a hard days night......and a long night at that
	11:55pm phat: or the politics of moving!
	11:56pm Dan from Delco: Time to make a sandwich

	♥ 10:57pm herb.nyc: Lottery tix-"no no no, you don't scratch yr tickets on the street. Ya gotta go home, sit in yr favorite chair w yr favorite drink and chips, and slowly scratch...". Or something like that.
	♥ 10:57pm medson: The update to the go fund me page made me laugh during the sad news
	♥ 10:58pm Chop Scott: As I remember the IBJ cruise on The Jewel was delayed heading out because they realized the beer supply wasn't even close to enough--and a pizza delivery...
	♥ 10:59pm Joe D.: the story I heard is they drank all the booze before they left the dock
	♥ 10:59pm Switchblade Batman: Friendster died, it became an online gaming site. Myspace is around, but it's weird now.
	♥ 10:59pm Joe D.: X-Ray Burns (1999): "They did give me a locker. But I contribute very little to the station other than my marathon pledge and every now and then I donate like something, you know, like piece of furniture or something. And I try not to break anything when I'm there. But they've always frowned on Jones even when they didn't know him because he did play like "Kung Fu Fighting" and stuff. And yet they have to understand that your cachet is different from their cachet. And that's the best thing about the station is that everyone's doing their own thing. It's wacko, man, it's wacko. You could listen for like two hours to Indonesian like bug music and you flip over the next minute you got like Mississippi Blues for a few hours and it's great. And there's nothing in this area that comes close, even some of the pretenders. Well, they try, and freeform is good even if you don't agree with the content. But they would kill Jones in Albania. They would kill you for playing "Kung Fu Fighting."
	10:59pm Mikey_B: big stashs and white rose. joy of life. rip burns and shout out to the icp and ibj.
	10:59pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: herb.nyc - Yes there is a ritual.

	11:02pm Henry Ryan: Me:. Dear God, you took David Bowie away from us. If you take Bryan Ferry, I will fight you. That's no lie. X. Ray: God will fuck you up.

	♥ 11:13pm listener 126464: X-Ray kept me updated on the situation in Kearny (parents live around the block from him) when power was out during Sandy.
	11:14pm Listener Robert: Wait, there were people who listened to Jonesy & Burnsy FOR THE MUSIC?!!
	♥ 11:15pm listener 126464: saw psychedelic furs at aldo's
	♥ 11:17pm Joe D.: X-Ray Burns (1999) - "The first time my mom tuned in she heard me tell the story of how I shot the beercan off of Jones's head with a .357 magnum. It wasn't on the air but we were describing the event on the air. And my mother called me up and she was crying and she's like, you really didn't do that with your father's gun. And I said no. No. Even if I was stupid enough to attempt something like that, what makes you think Jones would be stupid enough to let me shoot a beer can off his head. In the meantime I still got the beercan at home. We did cheat though because I was very close and it was a tall boy."
