Listener comments!
	8:03pm Richard S: Hello!!!
	♥ 8:04pm loveless: Can’t wait to hear what you picked out for us this week.
	8:08pm Becky: Hi, everyone.
	8:09pm maggie "may": hey becky! so jazzed to hear what you've got in store
	8:09pm megg the egg: Howdy!
	8:09pm Parq: Lefty sounding lovely.
	🎸 ♥ 8:11pm ultradamno: They should build him a statue. Oh, wait...they did www.roadsideamerica.com...
	🎸 ♥ 8:12pm ultradamno: He seems in danger of toppling over from the size of his guitar, but it's the thought that counts.
	🎸 ♥ 8:18pm ultradamno: Look more proportional from this angle twitter.com...
	8:23pm JakeGould: Hello!
	8:24pm Becky: He looks like Gerald Ford to me.
	🎸 ♥ 8:28pm ultradamno: Hopefully there's not a Squeaky statue sneaking up on him.
	8:29pm JakeGould: I don’t know about statues for music stars. They all seem to stink.
	🎸 ♥ 8:32pm ultradamno: I like they have his left boot up in mid-tap.
	8:35pm Becky: @Jake It's always the teeth that look weird.
	8:37pm Marie: Howdy Becky. Loving the show. Thanks!
	8:37pm Becky: Thanks Marie!
	🎸 ♥ 8:38pm ultradamno: There was a single of Little Bit of Soap around the house when I was a kid, I guess it was The Jarmels' version.
	🎸 ♥ 8:42pm ultradamno: A collection of musician statues and plaques that largely support Jake's thesis www.pinterest.com...
	8:49pm Marie: Along similar (?) lines, I can't Randy Newman's work (what I have heard of it).
	8:49pm Becky: Same, Marie!
	8:50pm Marie: I mean, I know he is not a country guy but his appeal has always been a mystery to me
	8:50pm Clyde: Burn On is kind of a great Randy Newman track.
	8:50pm miles: gp( the guy) is at once overrated & underrated. I rarely play his stuff if I'm DJing a country set. always an attractive debate
	8:50pm Marie: That's nice to hear, that someone like you (with great taste, to me) doesn't like him either ;-)
	8:51pm JakeGould: There are some fairly big name artists that “everyone agrees on” I can’t stand. Proud to be a first gen American with an opinion and sense of self-taste!
	8:52pm JakeGould: Outside of liking “Short People” as a kid, Randy Newman has always felt like someone I must appreciate instead of someone I would appreciate.
	🎸 ♥ 8:52pm ultradamno: About a week ago on 7 Sec Delay they kind of drew a parallel between Newman and Warren Zevon, who I never really connected with either. It's that kind of self-satisfied wit...
	8:52pm Marie: @Jake--yeah, some middle brow people with power apparently like his stuff
	8:54pm Becky: I don't care for Steely Dan.
	8:55pm Marie: "Short people"--that was his ticket to acceptability, I think. Like, was it the first song that dealt with being short? (or should I say, "height-challenged"?)
	🎸 ♥ 8:55pm ultradamno: I don't know if the Bakersfield sound overall really does much for me, actually.
	🎸 ♥ 8:55pm ultradamno: ...off the Parsons comment.
	8:55pm JakeGould: Steely Dan is very big in the conservative/Orthodox Jewish community. That’s like edgy for some.
	8:56pm Richard S: Another fun show!
	🎸 ♥ 8:56pm ultradamno: I always thought Steely Dan got a lot more credit for being cutting (if not edgy) than they deserved.
	8:57pm Marie: Probably some short hollywood mopey exec. hopped on to his train after "Short People"--of course, I actually know almost nothing about his career, except he is famous soundtrack writer? Idk :>)
	8:59pm slowbear: this is too catchy
