	9:29am David (in London): Hey Brian, I've been on an extended trip through the Alps for the past few weeks, so only been following online. How's it been? And how have you been?
	👻 9:32am officina: Hey Joe-Come la Notte (comay la notay) means "like the night".
	👻 9:34am Brian in UK: David, yesterdays mens elite race was vile, less than fifty finishers. Your trip sounds like fun, all that tasty cheese around the Alps. Having a riot decorating the hall, or not.

	9:40am steveo: Good morning, Joe! I'm yours until noon!

	9:43am listener Rey: Hiya Joe. Like this MAxine W, was it before Bread's version?
	9:44am Joe McG: @Rey: No, I think it was on their first album, so that's late '60s. She does a great version, though! @steveo: ha ha
	9:44am David (in London): Brian, I took the Bernina Express across the Alps, and it was absolutely mind-blowing. The train has these enormous high glass windows so you can see everything. Decorating the hall? Arrghhh! I did the kitchen this summer finally (after the paint pots I had bought for it had been sitting in the corner for FIVE years). Sheesh. Good luck...
	9:46am tom: the reverend is reminiscent of bill withers , to me at least
	9:48am Davee: I feel inspired
	👻 9:48am Brian in UK: David, we went to Vienna four years ago, took three trains, last one a sleeper. Great fun. Then a bus onto Brno to watch the MotoGP.

	10:09am Davee: Elvis has left the building
	10:10am Hubig Pie: Switched-on Strauss
	10:12am Brendan: I have the urge to throw a bone skyward
	10:13am Brendan: Strauss will do that to you. Its sort of his Bic lighter concert tribute thing.
	10:14am VincentNifigance: ‘Being There’. Highly relevant.
	10:14am steveo: oh oops Strauss!
	10:15am fleep: Where no mammal has gone before
	10:15am vix: Ohhhh you got me chair dancing to this !! dooo doooo dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo doo , do doooo doo love this !! hahaha thanks
	10:16am Mike Sin: I hope Bill Murray's "vocal" version of the Star Wars' theme is coming up next! ;)
	10:16am Brendan: Bones McCoy
	10:16am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha!
	10:17am Brendan: I’ll settle for 2112 overture if not the whole album side.
	10:17am Joe McG: @Mike: I've played that, Mike, but I'm going classic today. Stay tuned.
	10:18am listener Rey: Got Star Trek on my mind. This link to Trekkie fanzine and art was in my inbox today. archive.org...
	10:18am Hubig Pie: Maybe that "I am Stars Wars" thingy by Smog
	👻 10:19am Ken From Hyde Park: Disco Star Wars coming up?
	10:19am yippie: rosh hashana in outer space
	10:19am pantz: Is Pac Man Fever considered a classic?
	👻 10:20am b!!!: This is amazing.
	10:20am carlo: you are on fire
	10:21am SSS: Quest for victory over dishonesty theme? Good thinkin' there, Joe!
	10:21am yippie: r2d2 playing the shofar
	10:21am Rich in Washington: I'm having Star Wars Holiday Special PTSD flashbacks.
	10:21am The Oscar: Been busy working, but I LOVE me some space-disco! This Meco track brings me back to laser tag at the local roller rink-- I can still smell the fog machine!
	10:21am queems: This is incredible
	10:22am ClaireLE: This Meco 12" is the first record I ever bought. I had to exchange it at least three times, either because it was a crappy pressing or because my grade school turntable wasn't up to the task.
	👻 10:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Uh huh.
	10:22am emily: this has to be one of the "zaniest" songs of all tyme!
	10:22am vix: @queems, isnt it just !! im sharing this to folk toooo good , im loving this
	10:22am yippie: the life day song sung by princess leia has always been my favorite star wars song
	10:23am melinda: I love the space disco too
	10:23am steveo: i remember the Meco quite well; probably have not heard it for 40 years hahaha
	10:23am Rich in Washington: Dang, Joe!
	10:23am Bill W: Richard Pryor's Star Wars bar sketch is the greatest thing to come out of SW. (And would not get broadcast today cuz language.)
	10:23am SSS: Funny you should mention the shofar...@yippie...I am in the process of getting one, as it is one of the unique times that blowing it on other than the holy times is allowable.
	10:23am David (in London): Joe, can you sneak in the theme from Assault on Precinct 13..?
	10:23am JakeGould: @yippie: Thread: I would like to think it would be an Ewok who blew the Shofar because we saw them blow similar horns in “Return of the Jedi” which truly symbolize… (1/89137)
	10:24am KP in DC: Hello Joe from Soggy Bottom
	10:24am Roberto: This one goes out to Rutger.
	10:24am steveo: (yes it was a number one billboard hot 100 it for 2 weeks in 1977)
	10:25am Rich in Washington: @Bill W: There was this period in Summer/Fall of '77 where you couldn't turn on the television without some kind of Star Wars segment/clips/comedy sketch - leading up to the dreaded Holiday Special.
	10:26am pantz: I thought Vangelis did the score for Blade Runner. Is this a cover @Joe?
	10:26am Bill W: the Pryor one had the advantage that Lucas let him use the actual costumes/makeup.
	10:26am The Oscar: One of my favorite college-era memories is firing up a bootleg copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special for an excited crowd of maybe 15 people, and ending it with two. Those untranslated Wookiee conversations are ROUGH.
	10:26am JakeGould: I miss the “Star Wars” craze from 1977 to 1980. The media landscape was different so there were all kinds of nonsense and ephemera floating around everywhere. A much simpler time in terms of overmarketing.
	10:27am annie: it's obvious musical numbers are instrumental in today's line-up..
	10:27am Rich in Washington: I remember for years you couldn't buy the actual Blade Runner soundtrack. There was this really lame symphonic release (which I have and sort of love) but the actual Vangelis thing wasn't officially released until '94.
	10:27am Rich in Washington: There were some wonderful bootlegs of it, though.
	10:28am SSS: Just to clarify...no preachy stuff from me, just like to be loud for the right cause
	10:28am yippie: i really want to get a mutiny on the bounty soundtrack by vangelis
	10:29am Rich in Washington: @JakeGould: Movies are so pre-hyped now. We see jillions of posts on their casting, special effects, spoilers, etc., long before the film's even released. Star Wars sort of seemed to come out of nowhere by comparison.
	10:31am Rich in Washington: Ironically, Star Wars was originally going to get an electronic score, but the decision to go with bombastic symphonic music - sort of out-of-fashion in 70s cinema was a later inspiration - for better or for worse.
	10:32am Brendan: Speaking of bones and yet on an unrelated topic, I found a baby turtle on my front walk yesterday. I took it down in the woods in Rock Creek Park and walked a bit to find a transitional area (upland / lowland ) not far from water. After settling on a spot , I released it. No sooner than I turned around and took two steps did I see an empty, beached upper shell (carapace) of a box turtle. It was a circle of life moment.
	10:32am Brendan: https://pasteboard.co/IzOvzey.jpg
	10:33am Rich in Washington: BTW: YouTube channel Auralnauts is killing it with insane remixes of the entire Star Wars run of movies. Sort of like a cut-up 'What's Up Tiger Lilly' approach. They're freaking hilarious.
	10:34am Joe McG: @David: That would've been good, but I ran out of time! Maybe next week since I do love it so much.
	10:35am Joe McG: BTW, does anyone know what it means to "rock your body out"? Out of what/where? Out of energy?
	10:36am JakeGould: @RichinWashington: I always understood that George Lucas wanted to recreate the scores of films like “Ivanhoe” and “Robin Hood.” — “The rough edit of Star Wars had a temporary track which used pieces of Gustav Holst's The Planets suite, snatches of Alex North's score for Cleopatra (Joseph L Mankiewicz, 1963) and selections from Bernard Hermann's music for Alfred Hitchcock. Whilst these stock tracks helped create the right mood, there was never - as had been suggested since - the possibility of actually releasing the film with such a track. Lucas wanted a rich, orchestral score, something old-fashioned and outdated at the time. He knew it should be reminiscent of Erich Wolfgang Korngold, the multi-award-winning film composer who had scored The Adventures of Robin Hood (Michael Curtz, 1938) and The Sea Hawk (Michael Curtiz, 1940), two of his moders for Star Wars.”
	10:39am Cooh John: Morning Joe and noisemakers of all sorts. Off work today but attacking a stack of paperwork. Thanks for the accompanying soundtrack. Nice SW insight, JakeGould.
	10:40am Roberto: Okay so my daughter dragged me into watching season one of The Masked Singer over the weekend. I feel like I need my neurons bleached but other than that HOW TF DID THEY NOT MAKE GLADYS THE WINNER? Ig'nint young'uns.
	10:41am Strandlund: At first I thought this was Anacani on the Lawrence Welk Show...
	10:41am JakeGould: “Rock your body out?” Maybe like rock your body out of that funk. Like “Get up off of that thing.” What’s the thing? You called my sofa a thing? Get out of here you insulter!
	10:42am Andrea in Jersey City: I saw the Linda Rondstadt movie this weekend
	10:42am Joe McG: @Jake: Ah, I see! Thanks, Jake! I think "the thing" is your ass (as in, stop sitting and start dancing).
	10:42am Andrea in Jersey City: Then I went to see Billy Bragg directly after seeing it
	10:43am pantz: @Joe "Rocking Your Body Out" is a form of self-flagellation to atone for your funky sins.
	10:43am Brendan: I like this entry from Urban Dictionary Rock out "to listen to or play music to such an extent that the mind begins to lose consiousness and a new, more insane alter ego takes control" Dude, he's rocking out! by yasmin August 03, 2003
	10:43am Roberto: Apologies for any Masked Singer spoilers.
	10:44am steveo: in the L.R. Documentary (which Joe also saw), she states that when she was little, she thought that people conversed in English and sang in Spanish (her father was Mexican)
	10:44am Joe McG: @steveo: I love that idea!
	10:45am steveo: yeah me too
	10:47am Tamar: You’re welcome, Joe!
	10:49am Joe McG: @Tamar: :)
	10:49am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning Joe
	10:49am Krys O.: <3 Used to have this Marc single!
	10:50am Krys O.: Lilac Hand of Menthol Dan is the b-side.
	10:51am JakeGould: No disrespect, to Yasmin August 03, 2003 but that sounds like bull shift.
	10:51am Joe McG: HI, Aaron! @Krys: That's the one, except "Endless Sleep" and "Menthol Dan" share the B.
	10:53am Yes: this is what i needed today
	10:53am Snoochienucci: @Yes yes!
	10:54am Matt Fiveash: Very disappointed that the Ken Burns country show didn't talk about this one.
	10:54am Joe McG: @Matt: A flagrant omission. I've already sent my complaint to the CMF.
	10:55am steveo: My step-mother used to always ask us if a chicken has lips -- didn't occur to me that she got it from a song!
	10:55am Matt Fiveash: Wynn Stewart's "I'm Gonna Kill You" went similarly unexplored
	10:56am steveo: she would use it to mean "yes, of course" "Do we have to wash the dishes tonight?" "Does a chicken have lips?"
	10:56am Joe McG: @Matt Fiveash: Why did he bother making that documentary if he's going to ignore all the great moments?
	11:01am Krys O.: Ah, yes. Thanks, Joe.
	11:01am Bill W: I'm glad you'll be carrying the curmudgeon banner, Joe. (There are no guilty pleasures, or shouldn't be.)
	11:05am Roberto: WOW, great interview, Joe!
	👻 11:05am Brian in UK: Who is it?
	11:05am vix: Joey Molland from badfinger
	11:06am Joe McG: @Roberto: It's kind of audio verite this time around!
	11:06am common: Hello. This is grand. Laughing. Thanks joe
	11:06am Roberto: Oh wait, there's more?
	11:14am Joe McG: @Roberto: Sure! I hope you can hear his great Liverpudlian accent OK.
	11:16am JakeGould: Great Beatles song.
	11:17am coelacanth∅: (just John)
	11:17am JakeGould: Oh! And today is Buddy Rich’s birthday. Born in Sheepshead Bay but I won’t hold that against him.
	11:21am Roberto: Hanging up on your guest? Not cool, Joe!
	11:23am Joe McG: Ha ha, I swear I didn't hang up on him! :)
	11:25am Roberto: White Album was probably my favorite when I was a kid, too. I couldn't help but admire the irreverence and self-deprecating tone of much of it.
	11:26am coelacanth∅: white album was my favorite beatles album from the time of release as well. supplanted by abbey road for a year or 2 but ultimately remained my favorite.
	11:28am Mike Sin: Amazing that this great single (and the follow-up LP) only saw a Japanese release back in 1968!
	11:28am Joe McG: Should be interesting to hear Joey, Todd, Micky from the Monkees, and Christopher Cross (!) sing the White Album live. Here's more info including the tour dates: www.rollingstone.com...
	11:28am coelacanth∅: "Gary Walker & the bassline from rain"
	👻 11:28am tim from champaign: Great interview, Joe! What a cool guy! Magazine Woman is killer. Heady psych jams.
	11:29am Joe McG: @coelcanth: Ha ha ha!
	11:29am Roberto: It was also one of the few rock albums in my father's collection. Once I asked him why he had bought it when I knew it wasn't his cuppa tea. He responded that he figured he should see what all the fuss was about, and after listening, quickly concluded that it was about nothing.
	11:29am coelacanth∅: (i couldn't help it)
	11:30am rsj: wow this show is a treat!
	11:31am JakeGould: @Roberto: You mean the White album?
	11:32am coelacanth∅: my introduction to badfinger, "day after day" i thought was the beatles when it first came on the radio
	11:33am coelacanth∅: (Mollond also wrote the badfinger song, "flying"!)
	11:33am Roberto: Aye, Jake, the White Album.
	11:33am coelacanth∅: ...i'msorry -Molland (not mollond)
	11:34am annie: @ rsj: youbetcherbottomdollar!
	👻 11:34am tim from champaign: Holy shit! This is a ripper. This is the song that Dwight Twilley aspires to write. (No dis - I love Twilley).
	11:35am Krys O.: I love Badfinger with my whole heart since Magic Christian days. Actually, Ass is my favorite LP.
	11:38am coelacanth∅: mm zucchini cake. (the only good use for zucchini)
	👻 11:39am 12539: ¨...we also reach New York and Connecticut¨- and the whole internet world!
	11:40am David (in London): This is such a great interview. The story of Badfinger is so harrowing that it's nice to hear Joey laughing and flashing his typical Scouse wit.
	11:40am JakeGould: @Roberto: My first introduction to the Beatles was my sister’s copy of “Sgt. Pepper.” Since it was the only cool thing in our record collection I showed it to some friends. An older friend then looked at it and deemed it a “fake” because it had an Apple Records logo on the label. And thus my first introduction to the Beatles was also my first introduction to pedantic Beatle’s fan record collectors.
	11:40am Joe R.: I’m going to this show on Wednesday. Not sure what to expect but this interview is good prep.
	11:41am coelacanth∅: David, good point
	11:41am Joe McG: @David: I purposely tried to steer clear of the dark stuff. He's long past it. @JoeR: Report back!
	11:42am Snoochienucci: this interview is awesome, im embarrassed to say that im not very familiar with Badfinger, ill have to do a dig!
	11:42am Joe R.: @JoeG - will do!
	11:42am Linda Lee: i've loved Badfinger from my first hearing ~ 69? 70? finally able to catch their songs on a portable cassette recorder pointed at the radio & had to carry that around, 1970 or so. i'd just stand on the subway platform in nyc, 10 years old & play it for all to hear. :-)
	11:43am Linda Lee: long time love. :-)
	11:45am JakeGould: @Roberto: But all cool! The Beatles made everyone listen to music differently.
	11:47am listener monica: this is a great interview. very good, engaging questions
	11:49am holland oats: great interview!
	11:49am coelacanth∅: Excellent interview Joe!
	👻 11:51am 12539: Thanks Joe + Joey!
	11:54am common: Was Todd singing the backwards forward?
	11:54am Joe McG: Glad you guys enjoyed the interview! Thanks for listening and commenting today. Stay tuned for Dressy Bessy on Three Chord Monte. Next week: Exclusive live session with Taraka, formerly of Prince Rama!
	11:55am Carmichael: @common, yes he was. It was done "faithfully" ...
	11:55am Krys O.: Great show! Thanks, Joe!
	11:55am David (in London): A solid gold show today Joe.
	11:57am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe! Thanks Joey!
	11:59am SeanG: an album named Ass? that's awesome
	12:00pm Brendan: Thanks Joe

	9:44am Joe McG: @Rey: No, I think it was on their first album, so that's late '60s. She does a great version, though! @steveo: ha ha
	9:44am David (in London): Brian, I took the Bernina Express across the Alps, and it was absolutely mind-blowing. The train has these enormous high glass windows so you can see everything. Decorating the hall? Arrghhh! I did the kitchen this summer finally (after the paint pots I had bought for it had been sitting in the corner for FIVE years). Sheesh. Good luck...

	10:10am Hubig Pie: Switched-on Strauss
	10:12am Brendan: I have the urge to throw a bone skyward
	10:13am Brendan: Strauss will do that to you. Its sort of his Bic lighter concert tribute thing.
	10:14am VincentNifigance: ‘Being There’. Highly relevant.
	10:14am steveo: oh oops Strauss!

	10:16am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha!
	10:17am Brendan: I’ll settle for 2112 overture if not the whole album side.
	10:17am Joe McG: @Mike: I've played that, Mike, but I'm going classic today. Stay tuned.
	10:18am listener Rey: Got Star Trek on my mind. This link to Trekkie fanzine and art was in my inbox today. archive.org...

	10:19am pantz: Is Pac Man Fever considered a classic?
	👻 10:20am b!!!: This is amazing.
	10:20am carlo: you are on fire
	10:21am SSS: Quest for victory over dishonesty theme? Good thinkin' there, Joe!
	10:21am yippie: r2d2 playing the shofar
	10:21am Rich in Washington: I'm having Star Wars Holiday Special PTSD flashbacks.
	10:21am The Oscar: Been busy working, but I LOVE me some space-disco! This Meco track brings me back to laser tag at the local roller rink-- I can still smell the fog machine!
	10:21am queems: This is incredible
	10:22am ClaireLE: This Meco 12" is the first record I ever bought. I had to exchange it at least three times, either because it was a crappy pressing or because my grade school turntable wasn't up to the task.
	👻 10:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Uh huh.
	10:22am emily: this has to be one of the "zaniest" songs of all tyme!
	10:22am vix: @queems, isnt it just !! im sharing this to folk toooo good , im loving this
	10:22am yippie: the life day song sung by princess leia has always been my favorite star wars song
	10:23am melinda: I love the space disco too
	10:23am steveo: i remember the Meco quite well; probably have not heard it for 40 years hahaha
	10:23am Rich in Washington: Dang, Joe!
	10:23am Bill W: Richard Pryor's Star Wars bar sketch is the greatest thing to come out of SW. (And would not get broadcast today cuz language.)
	10:23am SSS: Funny you should mention the shofar...@yippie...I am in the process of getting one, as it is one of the unique times that blowing it on other than the holy times is allowable.
	10:23am David (in London): Joe, can you sneak in the theme from Assault on Precinct 13..?
	10:23am JakeGould: @yippie: Thread: I would like to think it would be an Ewok who blew the Shofar because we saw them blow similar horns in “Return of the Jedi” which truly symbolize… (1/89137)
	10:24am KP in DC: Hello Joe from Soggy Bottom
	10:24am Roberto: This one goes out to Rutger.
	10:24am steveo: (yes it was a number one billboard hot 100 it for 2 weeks in 1977)
	10:25am Rich in Washington: @Bill W: There was this period in Summer/Fall of '77 where you couldn't turn on the television without some kind of Star Wars segment/clips/comedy sketch - leading up to the dreaded Holiday Special.
	10:26am pantz: I thought Vangelis did the score for Blade Runner. Is this a cover @Joe?
	10:26am Bill W: the Pryor one had the advantage that Lucas let him use the actual costumes/makeup.
	10:26am The Oscar: One of my favorite college-era memories is firing up a bootleg copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special for an excited crowd of maybe 15 people, and ending it with two. Those untranslated Wookiee conversations are ROUGH.
	10:26am JakeGould: I miss the “Star Wars” craze from 1977 to 1980. The media landscape was different so there were all kinds of nonsense and ephemera floating around everywhere. A much simpler time in terms of overmarketing.
	10:27am annie: it's obvious musical numbers are instrumental in today's line-up..
	10:27am Rich in Washington: I remember for years you couldn't buy the actual Blade Runner soundtrack. There was this really lame symphonic release (which I have and sort of love) but the actual Vangelis thing wasn't officially released until '94.
	10:27am Rich in Washington: There were some wonderful bootlegs of it, though.
	10:28am SSS: Just to clarify...no preachy stuff from me, just like to be loud for the right cause
	10:28am yippie: i really want to get a mutiny on the bounty soundtrack by vangelis
	10:29am Rich in Washington: @JakeGould: Movies are so pre-hyped now. We see jillions of posts on their casting, special effects, spoilers, etc., long before the film's even released. Star Wars sort of seemed to come out of nowhere by comparison.
	10:31am Rich in Washington: Ironically, Star Wars was originally going to get an electronic score, but the decision to go with bombastic symphonic music - sort of out-of-fashion in 70s cinema was a later inspiration - for better or for worse.
	10:32am Brendan: Speaking of bones and yet on an unrelated topic, I found a baby turtle on my front walk yesterday. I took it down in the woods in Rock Creek Park and walked a bit to find a transitional area (upland / lowland ) not far from water. After settling on a spot , I released it. No sooner than I turned around and took two steps did I see an empty, beached upper shell (carapace) of a box turtle. It was a circle of life moment.
	10:32am Brendan: https://pasteboard.co/IzOvzey.jpg
	10:33am Rich in Washington: BTW: YouTube channel Auralnauts is killing it with insane remixes of the entire Star Wars run of movies. Sort of like a cut-up 'What's Up Tiger Lilly' approach. They're freaking hilarious.
	10:34am Joe McG: @David: That would've been good, but I ran out of time! Maybe next week since I do love it so much.
	10:35am Joe McG: BTW, does anyone know what it means to "rock your body out"? Out of what/where? Out of energy?
	10:36am JakeGould: @RichinWashington: I always understood that George Lucas wanted to recreate the scores of films like “Ivanhoe” and “Robin Hood.” — “The rough edit of Star Wars had a temporary track which used pieces of Gustav Holst's The Planets suite, snatches of Alex North's score for Cleopatra (Joseph L Mankiewicz, 1963) and selections from Bernard Hermann's music for Alfred Hitchcock. Whilst these stock tracks helped create the right mood, there was never - as had been suggested since - the possibility of actually releasing the film with such a track. Lucas wanted a rich, orchestral score, something old-fashioned and outdated at the time. He knew it should be reminiscent of Erich Wolfgang Korngold, the multi-award-winning film composer who had scored The Adventures of Robin Hood (Michael Curtz, 1938) and The Sea Hawk (Michael Curtiz, 1940), two of his moders for Star Wars.”
	10:39am Cooh John: Morning Joe and noisemakers of all sorts. Off work today but attacking a stack of paperwork. Thanks for the accompanying soundtrack. Nice SW insight, JakeGould.
	10:40am Roberto: Okay so my daughter dragged me into watching season one of The Masked Singer over the weekend. I feel like I need my neurons bleached but other than that HOW TF DID THEY NOT MAKE GLADYS THE WINNER? Ig'nint young'uns.
	10:41am Strandlund: At first I thought this was Anacani on the Lawrence Welk Show...
	10:41am JakeGould: “Rock your body out?” Maybe like rock your body out of that funk. Like “Get up off of that thing.” What’s the thing? You called my sofa a thing? Get out of here you insulter!
	10:42am Andrea in Jersey City: I saw the Linda Rondstadt movie this weekend
	10:42am Joe McG: @Jake: Ah, I see! Thanks, Jake! I think "the thing" is your ass (as in, stop sitting and start dancing).
	10:42am Andrea in Jersey City: Then I went to see Billy Bragg directly after seeing it
	10:43am pantz: @Joe "Rocking Your Body Out" is a form of self-flagellation to atone for your funky sins.
	10:43am Brendan: I like this entry from Urban Dictionary Rock out "to listen to or play music to such an extent that the mind begins to lose consiousness and a new, more insane alter ego takes control" Dude, he's rocking out! by yasmin August 03, 2003
	10:43am Roberto: Apologies for any Masked Singer spoilers.
	10:44am steveo: in the L.R. Documentary (which Joe also saw), she states that when she was little, she thought that people conversed in English and sang in Spanish (her father was Mexican)
	10:44am Joe McG: @steveo: I love that idea!
	10:45am steveo: yeah me too
	10:47am Tamar: You’re welcome, Joe!
	10:49am Joe McG: @Tamar: :)
	10:49am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning Joe
	10:49am Krys O.: <3 Used to have this Marc single!
	10:50am Krys O.: Lilac Hand of Menthol Dan is the b-side.
	10:51am JakeGould: No disrespect, to Yasmin August 03, 2003 but that sounds like bull shift.
	10:51am Joe McG: HI, Aaron! @Krys: That's the one, except "Endless Sleep" and "Menthol Dan" share the B.
	10:53am Yes: this is what i needed today
	10:53am Snoochienucci: @Yes yes!
	10:54am Matt Fiveash: Very disappointed that the Ken Burns country show didn't talk about this one.
	10:54am Joe McG: @Matt: A flagrant omission. I've already sent my complaint to the CMF.
	10:55am steveo: My step-mother used to always ask us if a chicken has lips -- didn't occur to me that she got it from a song!
	10:55am Matt Fiveash: Wynn Stewart's "I'm Gonna Kill You" went similarly unexplored
	10:56am steveo: she would use it to mean "yes, of course" "Do we have to wash the dishes tonight?" "Does a chicken have lips?"
	10:56am Joe McG: @Matt Fiveash: Why did he bother making that documentary if he's going to ignore all the great moments?
	11:01am Krys O.: Ah, yes. Thanks, Joe.
	11:01am Bill W: I'm glad you'll be carrying the curmudgeon banner, Joe. (There are no guilty pleasures, or shouldn't be.)
	11:05am Roberto: WOW, great interview, Joe!
	👻 11:05am Brian in UK: Who is it?
	11:05am vix: Joey Molland from badfinger
	11:06am Joe McG: @Roberto: It's kind of audio verite this time around!
	11:06am common: Hello. This is grand. Laughing. Thanks joe
	11:06am Roberto: Oh wait, there's more?
	11:14am Joe McG: @Roberto: Sure! I hope you can hear his great Liverpudlian accent OK.
	11:16am JakeGould: Great Beatles song.
	11:17am coelacanth∅: (just John)
	11:17am JakeGould: Oh! And today is Buddy Rich’s birthday. Born in Sheepshead Bay but I won’t hold that against him.
	11:21am Roberto: Hanging up on your guest? Not cool, Joe!
	11:23am Joe McG: Ha ha, I swear I didn't hang up on him! :)
	11:25am Roberto: White Album was probably my favorite when I was a kid, too. I couldn't help but admire the irreverence and self-deprecating tone of much of it.
	11:26am coelacanth∅: white album was my favorite beatles album from the time of release as well. supplanted by abbey road for a year or 2 but ultimately remained my favorite.
	11:28am Mike Sin: Amazing that this great single (and the follow-up LP) only saw a Japanese release back in 1968!
	11:28am Joe McG: Should be interesting to hear Joey, Todd, Micky from the Monkees, and Christopher Cross (!) sing the White Album live. Here's more info including the tour dates: www.rollingstone.com...
	11:28am coelacanth∅: "Gary Walker & the bassline from rain"
	👻 11:28am tim from champaign: Great interview, Joe! What a cool guy! Magazine Woman is killer. Heady psych jams.
	11:29am Joe McG: @coelcanth: Ha ha ha!
	11:29am Roberto: It was also one of the few rock albums in my father's collection. Once I asked him why he had bought it when I knew it wasn't his cuppa tea. He responded that he figured he should see what all the fuss was about, and after listening, quickly concluded that it was about nothing.
	11:29am coelacanth∅: (i couldn't help it)
	11:30am rsj: wow this show is a treat!
	11:31am JakeGould: @Roberto: You mean the White album?
	11:32am coelacanth∅: my introduction to badfinger, "day after day" i thought was the beatles when it first came on the radio
	11:33am coelacanth∅: (Mollond also wrote the badfinger song, "flying"!)
	11:33am Roberto: Aye, Jake, the White Album.
	11:33am coelacanth∅: ...i'msorry -Molland (not mollond)
	11:34am annie: @ rsj: youbetcherbottomdollar!
	👻 11:34am tim from champaign: Holy shit! This is a ripper. This is the song that Dwight Twilley aspires to write. (No dis - I love Twilley).
	11:35am Krys O.: I love Badfinger with my whole heart since Magic Christian days. Actually, Ass is my favorite LP.
	11:38am coelacanth∅: mm zucchini cake. (the only good use for zucchini)
	👻 11:39am 12539: ¨...we also reach New York and Connecticut¨- and the whole internet world!
	11:40am David (in London): This is such a great interview. The story of Badfinger is so harrowing that it's nice to hear Joey laughing and flashing his typical Scouse wit.
	11:40am JakeGould: @Roberto: My first introduction to the Beatles was my sister’s copy of “Sgt. Pepper.” Since it was the only cool thing in our record collection I showed it to some friends. An older friend then looked at it and deemed it a “fake” because it had an Apple Records logo on the label. And thus my first introduction to the Beatles was also my first introduction to pedantic Beatle’s fan record collectors.
	11:40am Joe R.: I’m going to this show on Wednesday. Not sure what to expect but this interview is good prep.
	11:41am coelacanth∅: David, good point
	11:41am Joe McG: @David: I purposely tried to steer clear of the dark stuff. He's long past it. @JoeR: Report back!
	11:42am Snoochienucci: this interview is awesome, im embarrassed to say that im not very familiar with Badfinger, ill have to do a dig!
	11:42am Joe R.: @JoeG - will do!
	11:42am Linda Lee: i've loved Badfinger from my first hearing ~ 69? 70? finally able to catch their songs on a portable cassette recorder pointed at the radio & had to carry that around, 1970 or so. i'd just stand on the subway platform in nyc, 10 years old & play it for all to hear. :-)
	11:43am Linda Lee: long time love. :-)
	11:45am JakeGould: @Roberto: But all cool! The Beatles made everyone listen to music differently.
	11:47am listener monica: this is a great interview. very good, engaging questions
	11:49am holland oats: great interview!
	11:49am coelacanth∅: Excellent interview Joe!
	👻 11:51am 12539: Thanks Joe + Joey!
	11:54am common: Was Todd singing the backwards forward?
	11:54am Joe McG: Glad you guys enjoyed the interview! Thanks for listening and commenting today. Stay tuned for Dressy Bessy on Three Chord Monte. Next week: Exclusive live session with Taraka, formerly of Prince Rama!
	11:55am Carmichael: @common, yes he was. It was done "faithfully" ...
	11:55am Krys O.: Great show! Thanks, Joe!
	11:55am David (in London): A solid gold show today Joe.
	11:57am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe! Thanks Joey!
