Sorry, but most of the Beat Generation were dopes.

♥ 10:02am steveo:

Say, can I have some of your purple berries?

♥ 10:02am Lixiviated Life:

"They're sending mushrooms that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. "

10:03am teod at heights:

Dave from Bklyn - saw Hot Tuna in Central Park(1974 0r '75??).. We were smoking DMT (I was 14-15). Jorma was asking for some.. Please do not tell anyone I went to see Hot Tuna - nor about the Grateful Dead at Red Rocks 1977??? Carried out the weed from NYC on an airplane.. The Hells Angeles knew how to use children...

10:32am Rachel Bo Bachel:

I love this Jewish plan! Is Nachum gonna make a surprise appearance?

♥ 10:32am Lizardner Dave Somethingorother:

Didn't Howard Stern do that bit 30 years ago and call it "Guess Who's The Jew?"

♥ 10:32am βrian:

Ask about the shibboleth.

10:33am Davee:

You mean sibboleth

10:33am wfmu_listener_phillip:

WHAT? jew or not jew? are you allowed to do that on the FMU airwaves?

♥ 10:33am Cmurtha:

What if I convert on the phone? Shabbos and all thhhat

♥ 10:33am Ike:

Normally I am not into these Ken Burns things, but the first episode of Country Music, "The Rub", should be commended for talking a lot about how much influence African-Americans had on country (despite Kris Kristofferson embarrassing himself by calling it "white soul music" or something like that, a common misconception). They sprinkle in a lot of good Charley Pride interview bits too. And on another note, they also mention the infamous con artist who started a radio station just to push his goat gonad male-enhancement surgery scams which is apropos of not much, but very amusing to me.

♥ 10:34am Lixiviated Life:

Who is that enchanting, armless, blue pants dancer?
Hmmm?

10:35am wfmu_listener_phillip:

this i actually might call in. i sound like a 78 yr old woman who smoked a pack a day for 40 years. but really im a man. really

10:37am JakeGould:

Pretty confident that a few years ago there was a “Jew or Not Jew” call in for “Seven Second Delay.” Listeners had to call in and identify themselves as a Jew or not. They kept a tally. Team Jew won! GO JEWS!!!

♥ 10:44am Cmurtha:

I wonder how many people poor Nick is going to have to filter.

♥ 10:45am \ⓔⓘⓚ/:

@phillip@10:33, isn't 7SD basically "are you allowed to do that on the FMU airwaves?" personified for the last 25 years?

10:45am JakeGould:

Nick the Bard is really one of the best call screeners.

10:46am JakeGould:

Instead impeachment proceedings, Drumpf should just be dropped feet first into a wood chipper.

♥ 10:48am -Ken:

I will provide an alternative soundtrack for the impeachment hearings. Just give me a headsup when they will be on during my show.

♥ 10:50am Cmurtha:

10 hours of Yakkity Sax and the Prize is Right failure music?

♥ 10:50am Cmurtha:

PRICE*

♥ 10:52am Phillippe Bastille:

Aha. I could've written this song from answering machine tapes from my single days

♥ 10:53am JtotheK:

Hi Ken, hi everyone. 7SD T-Shirt feedback -- I wore mine and area beer depot clerk commented that he liked the shirt. And my daughter has commented the guys on the shirt look like "cool dudes."

10:56am JakeGould:

How about an endless loop of Benny Bell’s “Shaving Cream?”

11:01am morphe':

Great/Super Sad Anti-Nazi film about a travelling Hasid salesman in rural Bavaria...Title??
"Nasty Girl.." another great Anti-Nazi film

11:02am morphe':

Ken what's with this COVERUP - you cannot hide bad songs with new spins!!!!!!!

♥ 11:03am tim from champaign:

So I've been on a political news moratorium for the past 2 months. I can't stomach it all anymore. With that said, are impeachment talks moving forward? Is there any teeth to this or is it just more hand wringing?

11:04am gold:

poopyfluuute!!!

♥ 11:05am Hubig Pie:

This flute is making my eyes water

♥ 11:05am Phillippe Bastille:

The new intro song for 7SD

11:05am gold:

it's been years for me since when i last heard you...

♥ 11:06am pantz:

The memorandum of the phone convo between Trump and Zelezny has been released. It's pretty damning (although parts look to be redacted).

♥ 11:06am Asheville Jon:

Scheiße Flute!!!!!!
unfortunately my kids find this amusing, and often ask for me to put on archived Scheiße flute tunes.

♥ 11:06am tim from champaign:

Matt Warwick?

♥ 11:06am Cmurtha:

Tis the sound of angels

♥ 11:06am AnAnonymousParty:

The flute phrasing has howling dog qualities.

11:06am sphere:

@ tim - the impeachment talk has turned very real. Pelosi has declared a formal inquiry. To show that this is real Trump tried to "work this whistleblower thing out" with Pelosi. of course, no deal.

11:06am Jan-Willem:

Clicky star :-)

11:07am thormagma:

Legendary...

♥ 11:08am βrian:

Five-year-old just discovered Scheiße Harmonica. Her future is assured.

♥ 11:09am tim from champaign:

Thanks, sphere!

11:09am gold:

♥ 11:09am tim from champaign:

Taco Bell's Canon!

♥ 11:10am Phillippe Bastille:

Tuesday at 11 has just gained a new level of respect

♥ 11:11am Manana:

Choking rubber chickens. It's a thing.

♥ 11:11am Cmurtha:

I love whatever the hell is going on right now

11:11am Colin in Durham, England:

Me too

♥ 11:12am Cmurtha:

The deep purple freak-out worked well

11:12am Karen:

@Ken once again, my dog loves your show. (Me too.). Just don’t send him subliminal messages to be naughty again. Danke.

♥ 11:12am βrian:

@Tim from C: Wouldn't that be played on flauta?

♥ 11:13am Pseu Braun:

Well, I did tell you so....

♥ 11:13am tim from champaign:

@Brian - good point.

11:14am Karen:

@ken, can you post a list of all your art requests somewhere?

11:15am gold:

yeah, maybe ill make one

11:15am Fletchernyc:

When will you atone for all these time keeping mistakes?

11:16am Bill W:

I can't believe Google is using "Yakety Sax" on their latest video ads.

♥ 11:23am Phillippe Bastille:

I always like Nutmeg Girl a little better

♥ 11:24am steveo:

boy that Killdozer made me wish I was suffering a high fever in Topanga

♥ 11:24am \ⓔⓘⓚ/:

Anybody who hates that dumb Don Felder song that Matt Warwick plays every week, please paint Don Felder being eaten by a giant squid, or being eaten by a flying shark, or being eaten by a flying giant armored chihuahua, or being eaten by a giant squid that's being eaten by a flying giant armored chihuahua.

♥ 11:24am AnAnonymousParty:

Saffron Girl is a golddigger

♥ 11:25am Ken From Hyde Park:

I ♥ Killdozer!

♥ 11:26am tim from champaign:

TUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH!

♥ 11:28am steveo:

♥ 11:28am pantz:

Just looking for some Tesh, John Tesh.

♥ 11:28am steveo:

♥ 11:29am Webhamster Henry:

@Ike Dr. Brinkley is just one of the profilees on the classic WFMU.org page "Lives of the Great Djs", adapted from LCD.
wfmu.org...

♥ 11:30am Webhamster Henry:

I never get enough Porest !

♥ 11:32am Hubig Pie:

John Tesh can be found on AM 880 in Seattle

♥ 11:36am steveo:

SWISS TIME!!!

♥ 11:39am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Uh, rule by these corpo-technocrats would now in fact be preferable to what we've got and are getting. They, at least, have some level of competence and connexion to reality.

…and I think the Colour Revolutions of which I've heard, the Arab Spring, and a fair number of N.G.O.s were good ideas.
