Listener comments!
	♥ 3:02pm G: May not have heard this since about 1972-73 -- Top of the Pops, Thursday evening 8pm, UK.
	3:05pm chris spooner: Take me away from here, Todd.
	3:06pm medson: Hey hey TOPT
	3:10pm MFlynn: Been waiting for the TOPT show all day!
	3:13pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @MFlynn: me too!
	3:14pm MFlynn: I’ll bet you have Todd!!!
	♥ 3:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Perfect GaragePsychs.
	♥ 3:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Set I need today.
	3:20pm medson: This tune really rocks.
	3:21pm MFlynn: Sure does!
	♥ 3:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Twink! Someone who actually knew Syd Barrett. (& so on.)
	3:24pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @RRNov63: Yup!
	♥ 3:26pm Haiku Henry: Hello Todd!
	3:27pm Fredericks: Feldman the humorist?
	3:31pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Fredericks: That would depend on your sense of humor.
	3:31pm Claudia Lily: YEEEEEH!!!! Suzi's Gettin' me pumped!!!
	♥ 3:33pm G: Man, Suzy Q, another one I remember from the UK, early 70s. When I moved to Brasil in 1974, all the kids wanted to know if there was a Portuguese connection to her, because Quatro means 4 in Portuguese.
	3:34pm medson: Ok TOPT. Counting on you to get me through a shit day at work. I’ll have ya turned up.
	♥ 3:35pm G: I think I recall that Steve Howe played on that In Crowd song.
	3:35pm Claudia Lily: Dancin' in my living room
	3:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @G: Yup Twink and Steve Howe were in The In Crowd which then morphed into Tomorrow.
	♥ 3:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tomorrow's album is great! 'White Bicycle' is on every comp. - & - they has others. Just sayin'.
	♥ 3:39pm G: Yep, that was my recollection. In maybe the late 90s Howe put out a CD called Mothballs that had that In Crowd song on it, as well as samples of everything he played on down through Bodast (just before Yes, 1970).
	♥ 3:43pm Haiku Henry: Never knew Mickey was originally Kitty!? Ya learn something new everyday...
	♥ 3:45pm G: @RRNov63: " In an interview by Nick DeRiso for Something Else! [Howe said] that his band Tomorrow was very much influenced by Zappa: "(...) Frank Zappa was a kind of subtle influence on me, too. He had that madness going on with the Mothers of Invention, which Tomorrow absolutely loved. And then I met Frank Zappa in 1967, and he walked into this room and said: “I really like ‘Claramount Lake.’” It was a B-side to Tomorrow’s (1967) song “My White Bicycle.” There was certainly some of the psychedelia that we were into, but it was a drone-y, slightly jazz guitar solo... I said to Frank Zappa: “How do you know about that?,” and he told me: “No, that’s a really good guitar solo.” Having somebody like him say that made me think: “I must be doing something right here. Frank likes ‘Claramount Lake!’” "
	3:46pm emsquared: Brits of a certain age (ie:mine) are doing the dance that goes with Tiger Feet right now.
	♥ 3:50pm G: Marc Bolan had made that sexually ambiguous male/female thing so popular in UK pop in the early 70s. Bolan was the biggest thing on the charts in 1971-72. I think that gave Bowie the hint to go right ahead in that direction, too...
	♥ 3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @G : Nice when Frank is the Music Lover Human Frank...
	3:51pm Claudia Lily: OOOOWWWW!!!
	♥ 3:52pm G: Man, this is like a Top pf the Pops 1971-74 flashback for me here haha
	3:54pm V: In the mixed up department of misheard lyrics.. I was hearing PONY EXPRESS
	♥ 3:55pm G: @V: sometimes called "mondegreens"
	3:57pm MFlynn: Touch too much!!! Great tune!
	♥ 4:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Downliner's Sect ! 'Why Don't You Smile Now' - by Lou Reed !!
	4:14pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: First Thursday of every month Mike has a show on Boogaloo Radio in London...the Mike and Maddy Show!
	♥ 4:27pm patrick321: Listening to this "USA not ready for glam rock" takes me back to 1973-74 in high school, wearing a blue velvet jacket and a scarf around my neck in western Morris County NJ, which of course nobody got.
	♥ 4:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had to be Horror like Alice or Kiss for the USA...
	4:31pm On the Yazoo: Platform shoes.....
	4:31pm V Priceless: God, this Knack rools! Fun show, Todd-o! Ohh. PC version...ugh
	4:31pm chris spooner: One of the greatest things I've seen is Therese slowly realizing that Good Girls Don't is way dirtier then she remembered during a Doug Fieger memorial set.
	♥ 4:39pm G: Oops, off air for maybe 30 secs there -- or at least off stream... Back now...
	♥ 4:41pm Art: Will Chris and John discuss Debbie's dis of Exene (as revealed on X's Beyond and Back compilation)?
	4:42pm Listener Bop Monroe: Love the Steve Nieve organ sound
	4:44pm On the Yazoo: I've got that LP
	♥ 4:44pm G: So you Got the Knack

	4:47pm Fredericks: This whole thing is starting to feel a little pervY Play something "nice" Todd.
	4:48pm Roberto: At this point it might be quicker to just play all the '70s/'80s pop hits that weren't produced by this guy.
	4:48pm Listener Bop Monroe: Dick Spacey and meg griffin playing Elvis the P
	4:49pm mrmikestandsir: hit aftah hit aftah hit!!
