Listener comments!
	♥ 9:01am fred: Good morning Jeff and all
	9:02am TDK60: Happy morning destined ones..
	♥ 9:02am Jeff Golick: Hello, @fred, and good afternoon to you.
	♥ 9:02am listener james from westwood: Morning, Jeff and all!!
	♥ 9:02am Jeff Golick: And to you, @TDK60!
	♥ 9:03am Jeff Golick: @listener james! Welcome!
	9:08am TDK60: ..here comes the we-need-rain rap: for the trees, plants, to wash away all the dog pee here in the big city!
	♥ 9:09am Stanley: Checking in and checking y'all out
	♥ 9:11am Jeff Golick: Glad to see you, @Stanley! Looking cool, as usual.
	9:22am TDK60: ..saw a documentary on Baldwin recently, very good.
	♥ 9:26am Jeff Golick: @TDK60: was that "I'm Not Your Negro"? So good, yes.
	9:28am TDK60: Yes.
	9:31am John from Florham Park: @hello Jeff fist time I have listened to your show
	♥ 9:32am Jeff Golick: Hello and welcome, @John from Florham Park!
	♥ 9:35am Jeff Golick: (This is perhaps an atypical show.)
	9:37am John from Florham Park: Well it is on the drummer stream where you can have potty mouths
	9:38am mic_test: So I should maybe expedite reading "Rings Of Saturn" (been on my list for a few years now)?
	9:39am John from Florham Park: Which I love to hear
	♥ 9:40am Jeff Golick: Hey, @mic_test! If you can get to page 4, that might help. But not necessary. Also, hello!
	♥ 9:40am Jeff Golick: Noted, @John!
	9:41am TDK60: ...never heard this John Cale track before.
	♥ 9:42am Jeff Golick: (realize now that my earlier comment might've been confusing -- meant that today's program might be not in keeping with the usual D:O Radio fare)
	9:43am John from Florham Park: @TDk60 me too with this song
	9:44am TDK60: morning John.
	♥ 9:46am Jeff Golick: Singers on the Shakespeare are Norma Winstone and Pepi Lemer
	9:46am John from Florham Park: @TDK60 morning
	9:47am John from Florham Park: @Jeff don’t worry about it we all kind of mess up what we were going to say
	♥ 9:48am Jeff Golick: Might as well be my motto, @John. Thanks.
	9:50am John from Florham Park: Your welcome Jeff
	10:03am TDK60: I heard an E. Dickinson poem set to music on WFMU recently; gosh what was it? --a somber folk tune..
	10:11am Dean: @TDK60: My guess is it was Theo Bleckmann, "I Dwell in Possibility"?
	♥ 10:13am Jeff Golick: Hey there, @Dean!
	10:14am Dean: G'morning.
	10:17am John from Florham Park: Can never get enough Lou reed, damn I miss him
	10:23am TDK60: Dean, found it: artist, Krotz Struder, tune- The Spot from "15 Dickinson Songs" played by Jeffrey Davison 10/29/16 (I like Bleckmann; gotta check that out..) wildsilencelabel.bandcamp.com...
	10:26am Dean: Was toying with attempting to restrict all communications to sentences consisting only of two-letter words/grams, e.g., He was up in an el in NE IL on my ox. Oh, ye of no fi, FU! ...and so forth. Oooh, that looks good, @TDK. Will explore post-show...
	10:33am Dean: Oops, should read, "He is..."^
	10:35am hyde: sorry i'm late!
	♥ 10:37am Jeff Golick: @hyde! No worries. Just have a seat and start the problem on the board.
	♥ 10:38am Jeff Golick: @Dean:the ultimate text-ification of language? (as in SMS)
	10:40am Dean: Nice coincidence. TDK60's query about a Dickinson-inspired work reminded me of Fred Hersch's series of songs from Whitman. I'd forgotten about the Stevens-inspired trio. Well, there's Oulipo before IETF protocols.
	11:01am TDK60: Ha ha! great poem there. Join the no-lawns movement if you have a yard -- grow plants, shrubs; we need shrubbery.
	11:02am Dean: We need shrubbery that looks nice. Not too expensive.
	11:08am Dean: Obligatory Rush sneer...?
	11:10am TDK60: [monty python-holy grail- shrubbery people: "nit!"]
	♥ 11:10am Jeff Golick: Eh. For a time, it was all about TBP sneer.
	11:11am Buena Vista Projects: Omg this is so hella!
	♥ 11:13am Jeff Golick: Indeed, @Buena Vista Projects. Thanks for checking in!
	11:14am JtotheK: Hi JeffG hi everyone - enjoying the show today, excellent tunes for yard work!
	11:14am Dean: You could play one of Charles Wuorinen's settings of work by John Ashbery. Or William Bolcom's Blake settings. Or both. Or neither.
	♥ 11:15am Jeff Golick: Hi there, @JtotheK! Weed away!
	♥ 11:17am coelacanth∅: 'morning Jeff & OUTies
	11:18am hyde: yay, coelacanth!
	♥ 11:19am Jeff Golick: Greetings, @coelacanth∅!
	♥ 11:22am Brian in UK: Quick hello Jeff and jazzists. Will not take my coat off as we are gardening whilst the rain is on holiday. Who was it wrote a piece/book without the letter e?
	♥ 11:22am fred: @Brian in UK: Perec?
	11:22am Dean: George Perec, A Void
	11:22am Doug Schulkind: Hello, post-yoga lovelies!
	11:23am Dean: Goya liked yoga.
	♥ 11:24am coelacanth∅: hey hyde!
	♥ 11:24am Brian in UK: Thanks, you smart bastards!
	♥ 11:25am Jeff Golick: Hey, @Brian in UK! Care to take some of this NYC rain off of our hands?
	♥ 11:25am fred: I don't know who translated that book in English, but it must have been a challenge. Christian Bök (I think he's Canadian) wrote a book called Eunoia where each chapter only uses one vowel.
	♥ 11:26am Jeff Golick: The amazing thing about Perec's books is that the French original had no letter e....AND THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION, too! Astounding.
	11:26am Dean: I read a condensed version of that Perec novel. It consisted only of the letter a.
	♥ 11:27am Jeff Golick: Walter Abish has a thing called Alphabetical Africa where he does something in alpha order, I think?
	♥ 11:27am Brian in UK: Trying that with my writings.
	♥ 11:27am Jeff Golick: Hey-o, post-yoga @Doug! I could use some of that yogic action over here.
	11:28am hyde: goin' out to the porch to plant tomatoes. thanks for the tunes to garden to!
	♥ 11:28am Brian in UK: Must try to buy a copy.
	♥ 11:29am Doug Schulkind: You say tomatoes, hyde, but I say tomatoes.
	♥ 11:30am Brian in UK: Now tomato has the e only in plural.
	♥ 11:31am Brian in UK: Back to planting.
	11:32am Dean: There's a story told by Stanley Fish about a beauty contestant who when asked to recite the lyrics to the Gershwin tune failed to pronounce the counterpart words differently. "She's the only person who actually gets the song!," he said.
	11:34am TDK60: I need to read more fiction, usually read history or political stuff.
	♥ 11:35am Jeff Golick: Never forget: iconicphotos.wordpress.com...
	♥ 11:36am Jeff Golick: Bye, @hyde! Happy planting. And same to you, @Brian.
	♥ 11:37am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick Or this Quayle evergreen: "What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."
	♥ 11:38am coelacanth∅: Quayle is a fountain of wisdom
	♥ 11:39am Jeff Golick: We didn't know how good we had it.
	♥ 11:40am Brian in UK: "There arn't half some clever bastards" Ian Dury.
	11:40am Dean: That's because we didn't have it good, even then.
	♥ 11:41am coelacanth∅: reagan>bush>bush (>maybe obama) was just part of the set-up.
	♥ 11:42am coelacanth∅: (...as trump is)
	11:43am Dean: There's a >clinton> in there, and I don't mean George.
	♥ 11:45am Jeff Golick: Beginning to understand how Carter came to be vilified. Whatever else was going on, he was perhaps the last hope of something that was crushed soon after.
	♥ 11:45am coelacanth∅: (not that he was innocent by any means, but) i don't think Clinton was on the team. i don't really think Obama was either but i think it's possible.
	♥ 11:46am coelacanth∅: Jeff, absolutely. i've been saying that for a few decades. (though at the time i, we, made fun of Carter)
	♥ 11:49am Doug Schulkind: Maybe Carter's greatest moment, the so-called "crisis of confidence" speech on 15 July 1979, was maybe also his most vilified. It was profound and prophetic.
	♥ 11:51am Doug Schulkind: I think maybe I will have the stream rebroadcast the speech on its 40th anniversary.
	♥ 11:52am Jeff Golick: Yes, please, @Doug.
	♥ 11:52am Doug Schulkind: I presented the speech on the stream for its 35th anniversary: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:53am coelacanth∅: i recall that at the time the whole hostage affair seemed pretty fishy in the end. later of course the evidence makes it obvious that reagan's (bush) administration rigged the whole release to make it look, to the gullible stupid americans, that Carter wasn't responsible for it but that the captors got scared when the powerful (!) reagan came on.
	11:53am Dean: A "crisis of confidence" speech on my 19th wedding anniversary...hmmm. Not so sure I want to hear that.
	11:55am Dean: "Schlemmer," I think, not "Schlimmes."
	♥ 11:55am coelacanth∅: it wasn't until reagan was in and Carter was out that i realised how good Carter was...not just compared to reagan.
	♥ 11:55am Jeff Golick: Trump seems like a version of Reagan with the Vaseline wiped off of the lens.
	♥ 11:56am Jeff Golick: Quite right, @Dean - fixed! Thanks.
	♥ 11:56am Doug Schulkind: I presented Carter's speech on WFMU's blog on the 30th anniversary of the speech: blog.wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:56am coelacanth∅: haha! there are similarities
	♥ 11:58am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick You make an important distinction. It's not that Trump is that much worse than Reagan (which he is), it's that Reagan was more horrifically Trump-like than we seem to remember.
	♥ 11:59am coelacanth∅: a friend, who's older than i am, doesn't remember (so probably never knew of) reagan flipping the bird to hecklers ...dignified and respectful representative of our nation that he was.
	♥ 12:01pm fred: Thanks Jeff, have a good week
	♥ 12:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Jeff! take care everyone
	12:02pm Dean: Reagan always seemed jaw-droppingly stupid to me. Same for Trump, of course, but I never fell for the "charisma" bullshit attributed to Ronnie.
	12:04pm Dean: Koglmann also has a record, much later, devoted to Nabokov.
	♥ 12:06pm Doug Schulkind: "If you found anything to your liking in this show..." Every bloody second was liked.
	♥ 12:07pm Jeff Golick: Thanks,@fred! Thanks, @Dean! THANKS, @Doug! Bye, one and all.
	♥ 12:08pm coelacanth∅: well i only liked 5 out of the 5 tracks i heard.
	♥ 1:00pm Jeff Golick: I'll try harder next time, @coel.

	11:53am Dean: A "crisis of confidence" speech on my 19th wedding anniversary...hmmm. Not so sure I want to hear that.
	11:55am Dean: "Schlemmer," I think, not "Schlimmes."
	♥ 11:55am coelacanth∅: it wasn't until reagan was in and Carter was out that i realised how good Carter was...not just compared to reagan.
	♥ 11:55am Jeff Golick: Trump seems like a version of Reagan with the Vaseline wiped off of the lens.
	♥ 11:56am Jeff Golick: Quite right, @Dean - fixed! Thanks.
	♥ 11:56am Doug Schulkind: I presented Carter's speech on WFMU's blog on the 30th anniversary of the speech: blog.wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:56am coelacanth∅: haha! there are similarities
	♥ 11:58am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick You make an important distinction. It's not that Trump is that much worse than Reagan (which he is), it's that Reagan was more horrifically Trump-like than we seem to remember.
	♥ 11:59am coelacanth∅: a friend, who's older than i am, doesn't remember (so probably never knew of) reagan flipping the bird to hecklers ...dignified and respectful representative of our nation that he was.
	♥ 12:01pm fred: Thanks Jeff, have a good week
	♥ 12:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Jeff! take care everyone
	12:02pm Dean: Reagan always seemed jaw-droppingly stupid to me. Same for Trump, of course, but I never fell for the "charisma" bullshit attributed to Ronnie.
	12:04pm Dean: Koglmann also has a record, much later, devoted to Nabokov.
	♥ 12:06pm Doug Schulkind: "If you found anything to your liking in this show..." Every bloody second was liked.
	♥ 12:07pm Jeff Golick: Thanks,@fred! Thanks, @Dean! THANKS, @Doug! Bye, one and all.
	♥ 12:08pm coelacanth∅: well i only liked 5 out of the 5 tracks i heard.
	♥ 1:00pm Jeff Golick: I'll try harder next time, @coel.
