	👻 9:16am Ken From Hyde Park: The song title is strictly "_name_"? Does "The Ballad of _name_" count?
	9:17am Joe McG: @Ken: No, I'm very strict about the rules for this show. First name and surname only.
	👻 9:18am Hughie Considine: Robert Klein had a great routine about how Charles J. Guiteau was doomed to be saddled with the term "disappointed office seeker" in every historical account of Garfield's assassination.
	👻 9:20am LastWhiteRhino: Hey Joe, will you be playing "Hey Joe" by The Leaves, not the Jimi Hendrix rendition ???
	👻 9:22am karlward: Looking forward to hearing the Camper Van Beethoven "Jack Ruby" too.
	9:22am Joe McG: @Krys O: Wow, crazy! @LWR: No "Hey Joe" today, I'm afraid!
	9:23am Brendan: He never got to the last verse to describe how he was hanged. Presumably because he was dead. But being the optimist I like to think that the rope broke and he was freed.
	9:23am johnk77: great show selecter @joemcg found a van morrison doc on amazon prime his 2 biggest musical influences growing up in belfast lead belly and the carter family
	9:23am TheLoneliestMonk: would 'john barleycorn must die' qualify?
	9:25am Joe McG: @LMonk: No, I think that song is actually about booze, not a real person.
	9:25am fleep: Do they have to be dead?
	9:26am pantz: Pablo Picasso was never called an a$$hole.
	9:26am Joe McG: @fleep: Nope, I'll play some live people, too! :)
	9:27am adampsyche: good theme! what are songs about alive people? quick plug for (not-alive) nelson mandela (since you had a ska thing going anyhow).
	9:28am VincentNifigance: Sweet song poem
	9:29am coelacanth∅: Good Morning Joe and all
	👻 9:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Can you play "Eleanor Rigby" a dozen or so times?
	9:29am Roberto: This song is meant to be ironic, right?
	9:29am Strandlund: Do you also have Jimmy Carter Says Yes? That's one of my favorite Song-Poems.
	9:29am davefromtoronto: proof HIS wisdom wasn't infinite...
	9:31am The Oscar: @Roberto I'm assuming Rodd was in on the joke, but the original "song-poet" was not.
	9:32am coelacanth∅: are there any songs about Squeeky Fromme?
	9:32am Brendan: Oh you’ve got some serious explaining to do for that song
	9:32am Roberto: Sounds about right.
	9:32am TheLoneliestMonk: saddest part of that nixon song is that compared to reagan, bushes or clintons, the dude seems like captain america in retrospect
	9:33am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM HaHa! you have very strict rules, Mr. Mac!
	9:34am coelacanth∅: John Hinkley jr.?
	9:35am TheLoneliestMonk: in the push & pull of chaos and control in the universe, JoeMac is surprisingly pro control!
	9:37am The Oscar: If he was born a few decades earlier, Jokerfan probably would have had a song-poem racket.
	9:37am TheLoneliestMonk: “To Richard Milhous Nixon, who never let me down.” —Hunter S. Thompson
	9:39am steveo: good morning Joe; to the best of my knowledge, I have never been assassinated
	9:40am coelacanth∅: fat chance of that. listen to "Lee Harvey was a friend of mine" (best version by Laura Cantrell, in my opinion)

	9:42am TheLoneliestMonk: @coelacanth∅: i need to check that out

	9:42am VincentNifigance: Nice recovery, Joe!
	9:43am TheLoneliestMonk: i'm highly tempted by that recent 'let it bleed' box. is it worth it, or just a shameless money grab?
	9:43am steveo: i like to hear a record being cued from time to time; keeps it real.
	9:44am Joe McG: Sorry about that, we suddenly lost a channel on Turntable 1.
	9:45am Cool Runnings: I was in high school the day JFK was assassinated. We were dismissed from classes early that afternoon
	9:45am coelacanth∅: i wonder if Jack Ruby produced this?!
	9:45am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM bad cable, or is the turntable dying?
	9:48am coelacanth∅: (just kidding. i know it was probably Lee Perry. though Jack Ruby did produce marcus garvey by burning spear)
	9:48am chresti @griffith Park: Morning!
	9:48am Joe McG: @coelc: That would've been great, but Max did the whole thing himself. @Monk: Not sure yet, troubleshooting...
	9:48am emily: this Rank and File "John Brown" is great!
	9:49am coelacanth∅: Max produced that? i didn't know he did production. that's cool!

	9:52am chresti @griffith Park: Agree with benji
	9:52am coelacanth∅: Colleen - "Colleen" by Joanna Newsom. one of her best songs too!

	10:02am Joe McG: @sphere: You must be psychic.
	10:03am prudy: Lix Life: what a great thing to be proud of...It's so sad that unions have such a bad rep in this country. They are really the only thing that enabled a middle class here...
	10:03am coelacanth∅: didn't Phil Ochs also do "Joe Hill"?
	10:04am TheLoneliestMonk: aargh, my most hated of zimmers...man!
	10:04am sphere: @Joe McG - I knew that. :)

	10:05am prudy: wow...never heard a song about George Jackson...
	10:07am sphere: Or Catherine Howard.
	10:08am Joe McG: @prudy: He actually did it twice, once acoustic and once with a band.
	10:08am pantz: Good ol Rick Wakeman. He probably has a few name songs.
	10:09am benji: This one is Ballad of billy the kid?
	10:09am Listener Alexandra: Hey cool--it's Almost Yes :-)
	10:10am Joe McG: @Alex: Ha! I played Yes...once!
	10:10am sphere: Looks like I am taking my dislike of prog to my deathbed.
	👻 10:10am Ken From Hyde Park: @Joe - In your arduous research, did you find any artists with an autobiographical song? Where he/she used his/her own name for the song title?
	10:11am Joe McG: @Ken: No, I didn't! Seems like a natural for Jerry Lee or Little Richard, but no.
	10:11am Listener Alexandra: I remember, Joe--still holding out for King Crimson one of these years ;-)
	10:13am Ike: All about the Paterson Silk Strike of 1913: socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu...

	10:14am Guido from Cologne: Hoppla! I remember that song! :-o
	10:15am Joe McG: @Brian: You're in luck! I'll play it for you. I have it with me. @Guido: This comp is great, you should release it for real!
	10:15am kuriousornj: Joe McG, how about Sam Shalabi's 'Jessica Simpson'.
	10:15am sphere: Joe McG - which Yes song did you play?

	10:21am Brian in New Orleans: "I never said I was more than I am Do what I want and I don't give a damn You're all so weak you know it makes me ill Don't like you now and probably never will You cheat and lie, and wonder why You can't sleep at night You're not well, Mr. Blackwell And we can tell You're not well, Mr. Blackwell Why don't you go to hell"
	10:23am coelacanth∅: (if you don't like Jimmy Carter you suck.)
	10:23am porchy: gotta love jimmy carter and not being orange is a plus
	10:25am Colleen: Wallkill!!!
	10:28am The Oscar: Love this song, but is it weird that I unironically prefer the Association's version?
	10:29am queems: ahh i just tuned in and i’m about to drive, but it was so nice to meet you on saturday, joe!
	10:29am ?: Song for Liz Berg - https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Monplaisir/THIS_IS_FOR_LIZ_BERG_of_the_radio/liz_berg_extended
	10:31am coelacanth∅: i'm surprised there's no news anywhere about the art auction. how much money was raised; what sold for what; pictures of all the submissions...
	10:32am Joe McG: @Oscar: I kinda like The Association's more, too. @queems: Great to meet you on Saturday, too! @?: I'm glad there is a Liz song. I miss her a lot!
	10:33am kuriousornj: there is a song called Iggy Pop by Azra
	10:33am Joey Ramone: https://youtu.be/a6FtQpjw6t4
	10:34am Toothgrinder Tom: How about ‘Edison Came to Stay’ (not 100% sure of the title) by The Bee Gees?
	10:34am Ike: @coel: Yeah, I missed it, so I'd love to know what member of AntiFe (hopefully) brought a blowtorch and (hopefully) incinerated any and all depictions of the vile Don Felder on the spot. Or at least that the Don Felder artwork depicted him as appropriately dickish and nauseatingly smug.
	10:34am coelacanth∅: "Kurt Cobain" by (again) Dan Bern?
	10:35am Joe McG: All fun suggestions! I'm going to have to check out Dan Bern. I don't know him at all, but he seems to like to write songs about people!
	10:36am Krys O.: Was sidetracked from work and couldn't comment right away, but I listened to that Rick Wakeman album a lot as a kid.
	10:36am βrian: I'd love to hear a montage of Liz Berg laughing on-air. It would be a great premium.
	10:36am Brendan: ‘Harmony Korine’ by Steven Wilson
	10:38am Joe McG: @Brendan: Wow, there are TWO Harmony Korine songs? I brought another one with me that I hope to get to...
	10:40am BnowB: 16 years ago today RIP Elliott Smith
	10:40am Brendan: @Joe, yes. Steven’s version is kind of a shoegazey thing
	10:42am Listening in Oregon: Rosa Parks OutKast Johnny Thunder The Kinks ?
	10:42am melinda: I like the vocal blending in this better than in most Band songs.
	10:43am βrian: Shoegaze sounds like some kind of product that comes in a tube.
	10:44am Joe McG: @Oregon: "Rosa Parks" is a good one! I don't think Johnny Thunder was a real person, though.
	10:46am sphere: @ Joe McG - Just FYI, there was a thrashy hardcore band named Bloodhag who played nothing but songs named after science fiction and fantasy writers.
	10:46am DroneTree: Richie Dagger by the Germs?
	10:46am Boomer: I gaze down at my shoes wistfully while at my local scene shows.Support ur local scene
	10:46am Booz: Missed the announce, but does Van Dyke Parks's "The Four Mills Brothers" fit in this game?
	10:47am Booz: (Or "Bing Crosby," for that matter?)
	10:47am sphere: OK, they were death metal: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:48am Joe McG: @Booz: Not quite! Going for first name/last name. @sphere: Wow, interesting! Not my particular kind of music, but looks fun!
	10:48am Booz: Miles's "Miss Mabry" was also about Betty Davis. . .
	10:48am cheri the duff@: Good morning @Joe and all
	10:48am Joe McG: Oh, I don't know that "Bing Crosby" song. What album is it on?
	10:48am BSR turntable 1972: I think Johnny thunders was a comic book character that may have inspired Johnny thunders
	10:49am Booz: Van Dyke Parks - Discover America, 1972
	10:50am melinda: @Brian haha
	10:50am Joe McG: @Booz: Thanks, I'll see if we have it!
	10:50am Booz: (It also has a very excellent "Jack Palance," but his vocals are not well regarded...)
	10:51am coelacanth∅: didn't Miles do a whole album dedicated to his wife? (i forget which one though)
	10:51am βrian: Jack Palance: "I like your hat! ... Really!"
	10:52am Brendan: Sometimes it works in reverse. American painter and musician Ella Guru’s pseudonym is taken from a Captain Beefheart song on the album Trout Mask Replica.
	10:54am Scott Williams: @coel you're thinking of "Filles de Kilimanjaro" - great record! Overlooked?
	10:54am Booz: Miles's producer chatter on Betty Davis's "The Columbia Years" has a louche hilarity
	10:54am TheLoneliestMonk: how bout these?: “I Know Where Syd Barrett Lives” “Thank You Jack White (For the Fiber-Optic Jesus That You Gave Me)”
	10:56am Listening in Oregon: Preceded the comic possibly... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Thunder_(singer)?
	10:57am Booz: @ βrian - heh heh
	10:57am Ike: Wow, people are not paying attention to the rules at all.
	10:57am coelacanth∅: yes! Thanks Scott -it would've gotten to me until i either remembered or spent who knows how long looking into it!
	👻 10:57am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: Yayyy!! Thanks Joe . Salvador Sanchez! Was wondering if you'd play it.
	10:57am Dan D: I've been trying to find this Sun Kil Moon song for 12 years and all I had was the melody stuck in my head THANK YOU
	10:57am cccinkc: Oh man, I can't tell you how much I listened to this album when it came out! Coupla great name songs on there.
	10:58am crateslinger: I like this Sun Kil Moon. wish I had long hair.
	👻 10:58am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: One of my most favoritest albums
	10:58am Joe McG: @Oregon: Ah yes, I think that could work! @Trista: I like that he also does "Glenn Tipton" on that album.
	👻 10:59am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: Yes, Joe! Another good one. Do you know his album April? That's another one that may suit your taste. It has a very Neil Young sound.
	11:00am TheLoneliestMonk: @LIO i was gonna suggest 'johnny's gonna die', but...NO full name!
	11:01am cheri the duff@: Tell me @Joe you a huge fan of the classic old b/w horror movies??
	11:03am Booz: The Replacements' "Alex Chilton"?
	11:03am kuriousornj: Antonin Artaud by Bauhaus !!!
	11:04am coelacanth∅: nice!^
	👻 11:05am tim from champaign: This might be too easy or obvious but just about every Wesley Willis song is named after a person.
	11:05am Booz: @kuriousornj: yeah!
	11:05am cccinkc: The Beach Boys "Johnny Carson"?
	11:05am Listener Alexandra: Here's People You May Know #2: http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/81760

	11:07am steveo: wfmu.org... October 8, 2018: Some More People You May Know October 23, 2017: Some People You May Know
	11:10am Booz: Had no idea "Bing Crosby" was a cover!
	11:11am TheLoneliestMonk: tosches wrote an article for the ichiban blog about the possuum!

	11:11am Snoochienucci: oo this one is niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

	11:13am TLM: http://wfmuichiban.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-devil-in-george-jones.html
	👻 11:13am Brian in UK: Talking of Jimmy Carter, back in the late Seventies John Stewart, a staunch Democrat, wrote Promise the Wind a strong critique of JC. 'Give us the Lord and promise the wind'.
	👻 11:13am tim from champaign: Did someone say Captain Lou?
	11:13am Snoochienucci: was that "pennies from heaven" line in there a shout-out to Louis Prima? Or is that a Bing Crosby reference as well?
	11:14am Kayt Brumder: Benito di Paula - Charlie Brown
	11:15am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM did you ever see the animated mini doc on the LSD no-no?
	11:16am Booz: "I wonder if you heard him singing the song / May I Be The One To Say I / I wonder if you heard again / Everytime It Rains It Rains Pennies From Heaven / But Love Thy Neighbor was a most thrilling song / And Get Along Little Dogie Get Along / Unanimously three cheers for Mr. Bing Crosby
	👻 11:16am tim from champaign: My favorite Dock Ellis story (besides the obvious one) is that when some racist security guard didn't let Ellis in the Reds' stadium he proceeded to bean the Reds line up in order until he was pulled.
	11:16am TheLoneliestMonk: Dock Ellis & The LSD No No www.youtube.com...
	11:17am TheLoneliestMonk: @Tim haha, classic! :D
	11:19am SeanG: i met Doc Gooden at a florida airport once. dude was tall.
	11:20am TheLoneliestMonk: worst part of dock ellis' career was he was awful for the mets for ONE season, they release him, he goes across town to the evil empire and wins comeback player of the year!!! :O
	11:20am Joe McG: @Snoochie: Bing had a big hit with it in the early '30s.
	11:21am ?: For lots more baseball players, of course you've got "Van Lingle Mungo", Dave Frishberg.
	👻 11:22am tim from champaign: I know that Dock Ellis didn't want pitching a no-hitter while blazing on acid to be his legacy but it's pretty damn amazing to think about.
	11:23am TheLoneliestMonk: the say hey song www.youtube.com...
	11:24am TheLoneliestMonk: @tim puts that fat drunk wells to shame
	11:25am Joe McG: I figured I'd get a couple of baseball songs in since it's October.
	11:26am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM and the fascists in pinstripes got eliminated last night. rejoice...REJOICE!
	11:26am Carmichael: The song James Dean, but then you'd have to play the god damn Eagles ... Oh, and hello!
	11:27am P-90: The potential performance-enhancing effects of LSD were documented decades ago.
	11:27am P-90: Too bad these are so few songs about drugs AND baseball...
	11:27am Joe McG: @Carmichael: Oh, dear. I suppose that I COULD play them...
	11:28am TheLoneliestMonk: i LMAO when he spiked the baseball after making a routine play in the field, because he thought he had just scored a touchdown!
	11:28am Carmichael: Hey, I pledged to Rob's show on Saturday. Where's my pumpkin!?!
	11:28am Brendan: Billy Bragg’s a regular biographer - ‘ Jane Allen’ and ‘Joe Hill’. Think you already did ‘Ingrid Bergman’ . Too bad he had to ruin Levi Stubbs with a third word.
	11:28am pantz: No, Joe! This is an Eagles Free Zone.
	11:29am TheLoneliestMonk: @P90 i hear there are MANY folksongs the coca pickers in the mountains of colombia STILL sing about the '86 mets!
	11:29am Carmichael: I pledged on the iPhone app "manually", as in not logged in. That probably was the difference.
	11:29am Joe McG: @pantz: It always has been, I think, but I'm not sure. I may have played Scott Williams' screwed version of "Those Shoes" at some point.
	👻 11:30am tim from champaign: People, people! The more we mention Joe NOT playing the Eagles' James Dean, the more Joe is likely to play it! ;)
	11:31am TheLoneliestMonk: "C’mon man, I’ve had a rough day and I hate the f*cking Eagles"
	11:31am Carmichael: @pantz, tell that to Warwick, who plays his pseudo Eagle song every Tuesday.
	11:31am coelacanth∅: it could be worse. Joe could be doing songs about hotels and motels...
	11:31am Joe McG: Tim knows me too well.
	11:32am TheLoneliestMonk: don't go FULL kenzo on us, joe
	11:32am pantz: My internet tends to go out at precisely 11 am on Tuesdays. Darndest thing.
	👻 11:33am tim from champaign: I love it when FMU DJs intentionally elicit a massive groan from the masses.
	11:33am Snoochienucci: @JoeMcG ahh gotcha, I dont have much a memory for that time period
	11:34am coelacanth∅: "the groan heard around the world"
	11:34am Joe McG: @Coelacanth: Hmm, not a bad idea! @Snoochie: Ha ha, not many of us do!
	11:35am coelacanth∅: oh no!
	11:35am listener Rey: Spoonie G sampled this bass line on the 1st real hip hop record released
	11:35am fred: Good morning Joe and all An THANKS so much Joe for getting my pledge credited to the shows I intended. No big deal to you maybe, but it is to me
	👻 11:35am Brian in UK: James Dean has been on previously, Phil Ochs' Jim Dean of Indiana is a beauty but too wordy. Hello fred.
	11:36am coelacanth∅: ...maybe weird Al has a hotel california spoof?
	11:37am melinda: There’s always Hotel Ayahuasca
	11:38am coelacanth∅: i'm just hoping there's a a hotel song based on "the shining"
	11:38am Ike: @pantz and @TLM, greetings fellow AntiFe! The total destruction of Don Felder is NIGH!!!!! It has been prophesied.
	11:38am TheLoneliestMonk: next we need the EP of donna doing love to love ya, where she sounds likes she's grinding up against a pole for 17 minutes, ya know, so everyone can go to lunch tumescent
	11:39am Snoochienucci: @IKE Felder is not going anywhere
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: Here is Paddy McAloon earlier this year. www.youtube.com...
	👻 11:41am tim from champaign: Random Hold is completely new to me. It's like a new wavier Magazine. Good subject matter too.
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: Joe, that's funny was just thinking of the Clash's take on MC.
	11:41am Joe McG: @fred: Happy to oblige, fred!
	11:41am pantz: FMU is a house divided on Felder. Brother against brother. A Heavy Metal rain is gonna fall.
	👻 11:43am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. In the WFMU version of Andy Warhol's philosophy, every person gets a three-minute song with his/her name.
	11:44am melinda: @loneliestmonk ‘tumescent’ makes me laugh
	11:46am TheLoneliestMonk: @melinda well, it's classier than saying 'hard on'...i guess ;P
	11:47am Ike: @Snoochienucci, don't go down with the rotting ship, o WFMU sibling! Join us in our righteous resistance against the Mediocre One! It's not too late for you! YOU ARE LOVED. Our cult... err umm our sacred organization is very welcoming!
	👻 11:47am Brian in UK: @melinda if it makes you laugh you must have ther wrong end of the stick!
	11:47am TheLoneliestMonk: @pantz as much as i love this station, i would be willing to fight a civil war over the eagles. GoT style, yo!
	11:48am TheLoneliestMonk: the north remembers...and SO does the Bronx!!
	11:48am Joe McG: @Ken: Including Andy Warhol, who we will probably not get to today.

	9:09am Krys O.: I was born the day before JFK was assassinated.
	9:11am fleep: You know their names, look up the number. Good morning, Joe!
	👻 9:11am Hughie Considine: Morning all! Wow, this set could go so many interesting places ...
	9:12am pantz: My Morning Jacket has a song called "Magic Bullet". Might that be qued up?
	9:15am Joe McG: Good Monday to you all! Today we're playing songs about or named after people you may know.
	9:15am peepo: I like this theme
	9:15am TheLoneliestMonk: joe mac's gonna start a 2nd ska revival!
	9:16am Krys O.: And I came home with my mom from the hospital on the day of JFK's funeral. My brother was 7 at the time and remembers watching it on TV when I interrupted his viewing.
	👻 9:16am Ken From Hyde Park: The song title is strictly "_name_"? Does "The Ballad of _name_" count?
	9:17am Joe McG: @Ken: No, I'm very strict about the rules for this show. First name and surname only.
	👻 9:18am Hughie Considine: Robert Klein had a great routine about how Charles J. Guiteau was doomed to be saddled with the term "disappointed office seeker" in every historical account of Garfield's assassination.
	👻 9:20am LastWhiteRhino: Hey Joe, will you be playing "Hey Joe" by The Leaves, not the Jimi Hendrix rendition ???
	👻 9:22am karlward: Looking forward to hearing the Camper Van Beethoven "Jack Ruby" too.
	9:22am Joe McG: @Krys O: Wow, crazy! @LWR: No "Hey Joe" today, I'm afraid!
	9:23am Brendan: He never got to the last verse to describe how he was hanged. Presumably because he was dead. But being the optimist I like to think that the rope broke and he was freed.
	9:23am johnk77: great show selecter @joemcg found a van morrison doc on amazon prime his 2 biggest musical influences growing up in belfast lead belly and the carter family
	9:23am TheLoneliestMonk: would 'john barleycorn must die' qualify?
	9:25am Joe McG: @LMonk: No, I think that song is actually about booze, not a real person.
	9:25am fleep: Do they have to be dead?
	9:26am pantz: Pablo Picasso was never called an a$$hole.
	9:26am Joe McG: @fleep: Nope, I'll play some live people, too! :)
	9:27am adampsyche: good theme! what are songs about alive people? quick plug for (not-alive) nelson mandela (since you had a ska thing going anyhow).
	9:28am VincentNifigance: Sweet song poem
	9:29am coelacanth∅: Good Morning Joe and all
	👻 9:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Can you play "Eleanor Rigby" a dozen or so times?
	9:29am Roberto: This song is meant to be ironic, right?
	9:29am Strandlund: Do you also have Jimmy Carter Says Yes? That's one of my favorite Song-Poems.
	9:29am davefromtoronto: proof HIS wisdom wasn't infinite...
	9:31am The Oscar: @Roberto I'm assuming Rodd was in on the joke, but the original "song-poet" was not.
	9:32am coelacanth∅: are there any songs about Squeeky Fromme?
	9:32am Brendan: Oh you’ve got some serious explaining to do for that song
	9:32am Roberto: Sounds about right.
	9:32am TheLoneliestMonk: saddest part of that nixon song is that compared to reagan, bushes or clintons, the dude seems like captain america in retrospect
	9:33am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM HaHa! you have very strict rules, Mr. Mac!
	9:34am coelacanth∅: John Hinkley jr.?
	9:35am TheLoneliestMonk: in the push & pull of chaos and control in the universe, JoeMac is surprisingly pro control!
	9:37am The Oscar: If he was born a few decades earlier, Jokerfan probably would have had a song-poem racket.
	9:37am TheLoneliestMonk: “To Richard Milhous Nixon, who never let me down.” —Hunter S. Thompson
	9:39am steveo: good morning Joe; to the best of my knowledge, I have never been assassinated
	9:40am coelacanth∅: fat chance of that. listen to "Lee Harvey was a friend of mine" (best version by Laura Cantrell, in my opinion)
	9:42am pantz: I'm always here for Mr Frisell
	9:42am TheLoneliestMonk: @coelacanth∅: i need to check that out
	9:42am Lixiviated Life: where is the noise? you know, the surface noise. i'm not hear any.
	9:42am VincentNifigance: Nice recovery, Joe!
	9:43am TheLoneliestMonk: i'm highly tempted by that recent 'let it bleed' box. is it worth it, or just a shameless money grab?
	9:43am steveo: i like to hear a record being cued from time to time; keeps it real.
	9:44am Joe McG: Sorry about that, we suddenly lost a channel on Turntable 1.
	9:45am Cool Runnings: I was in high school the day JFK was assassinated. We were dismissed from classes early that afternoon
	9:45am coelacanth∅: i wonder if Jack Ruby produced this?!
	9:45am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM bad cable, or is the turntable dying?
	9:48am coelacanth∅: (just kidding. i know it was probably Lee Perry. though Jack Ruby did produce marcus garvey by burning spear)
	9:48am chresti @griffith Park: Morning!
	9:48am Joe McG: @coelc: That would've been great, but Max did the whole thing himself. @Monk: Not sure yet, troubleshooting...
	9:48am emily: this Rank and File "John Brown" is great!
	9:49am coelacanth∅: Max produced that? i didn't know he did production. that's cool!

	9:52am Snoochienucci: Galileo - GG Allin?
	9:52am Joe McG: Great to meet you at the art auction, Colleen! @benji: Does it ever!

	9:52am chresti @griffith Park: Agree with benji
	9:52am coelacanth∅: Colleen - "Colleen" by Joanna Newsom. one of her best songs too!

	10:01am DroneTree: Irie
	10:01am Joe McG: @SSS: Cool! That's where Babs Streisand got her start.
	10:01am coelacanth∅: Dan Bern has a good Marilyn Monroe song too.
	10:01am sphere: The Dylan songs about people.
	10:02am Joe McG: @sphere: You must be psychic.
	10:03am prudy: Lix Life: what a great thing to be proud of...It's so sad that unions have such a bad rep in this country. They are really the only thing that enabled a middle class here...
	10:03am coelacanth∅: didn't Phil Ochs also do "Joe Hill"?
	10:04am TheLoneliestMonk: aargh, my most hated of zimmers...man!
	10:04am sphere: @Joe McG - I knew that. :)
	10:04am SSS: @ Joe McG - Really? Did not know that. Got great scrap book photo stuff on it. Wondered if the reference would be remembered....
	10:05am prudy: wow...never heard a song about George Jackson...
	10:07am sphere: Or Catherine Howard.
	10:08am Joe McG: @prudy: He actually did it twice, once acoustic and once with a band.
	10:08am pantz: Good ol Rick Wakeman. He probably has a few name songs.
	10:09am benji: This one is Ballad of billy the kid?
	10:09am Listener Alexandra: Hey cool--it's Almost Yes :-)
	10:10am Joe McG: @Alex: Ha! I played Yes...once!
	10:10am sphere: Looks like I am taking my dislike of prog to my deathbed.
	👻 10:10am Ken From Hyde Park: @Joe - In your arduous research, did you find any artists with an autobiographical song? Where he/she used his/her own name for the song title?
	10:11am Joe McG: @Ken: No, I didn't! Seems like a natural for Jerry Lee or Little Richard, but no.
	10:11am Listener Alexandra: I remember, Joe--still holding out for King Crimson one of these years ;-)
	10:13am Ike: All about the Paterson Silk Strike of 1913: socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu...

	10:14am Guido from Cologne: Hoppla! I remember that song! :-o
	10:15am Joe McG: @Brian: You're in luck! I'll play it for you. I have it with me. @Guido: This comp is great, you should release it for real!

	10:21am Brian in New Orleans: "I never said I was more than I am Do what I want and I don't give a damn You're all so weak you know it makes me ill Don't like you now and probably never will You cheat and lie, and wonder why You can't sleep at night You're not well, Mr. Blackwell And we can tell You're not well, Mr. Blackwell Why don't you go to hell"
	10:23am coelacanth∅: (if you don't like Jimmy Carter you suck.)
	10:23am porchy: gotta love jimmy carter and not being orange is a plus
	10:25am Colleen: Wallkill!!!
	10:28am The Oscar: Love this song, but is it weird that I unironically prefer the Association's version?
	10:29am queems: ahh i just tuned in and i’m about to drive, but it was so nice to meet you on saturday, joe!
	10:29am ?: Song for Liz Berg - https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Monplaisir/THIS_IS_FOR_LIZ_BERG_of_the_radio/liz_berg_extended
	10:31am coelacanth∅: i'm surprised there's no news anywhere about the art auction. how much money was raised; what sold for what; pictures of all the submissions...
	10:32am Joe McG: @Oscar: I kinda like The Association's more, too. @queems: Great to meet you on Saturday, too! @?: I'm glad there is a Liz song. I miss her a lot!
	10:33am kuriousornj: there is a song called Iggy Pop by Azra
	10:33am Joey Ramone: https://youtu.be/a6FtQpjw6t4
	10:34am Toothgrinder Tom: How about ‘Edison Came to Stay’ (not 100% sure of the title) by The Bee Gees?
	10:34am Ike: @coel: Yeah, I missed it, so I'd love to know what member of AntiFe (hopefully) brought a blowtorch and (hopefully) incinerated any and all depictions of the vile Don Felder on the spot. Or at least that the Don Felder artwork depicted him as appropriately dickish and nauseatingly smug.
	10:34am coelacanth∅: "Kurt Cobain" by (again) Dan Bern?
	10:35am Joe McG: All fun suggestions! I'm going to have to check out Dan Bern. I don't know him at all, but he seems to like to write songs about people!
	10:36am Krys O.: Was sidetracked from work and couldn't comment right away, but I listened to that Rick Wakeman album a lot as a kid.
	10:36am βrian: I'd love to hear a montage of Liz Berg laughing on-air. It would be a great premium.
	10:36am Brendan: ‘Harmony Korine’ by Steven Wilson
	10:38am Joe McG: @Brendan: Wow, there are TWO Harmony Korine songs? I brought another one with me that I hope to get to...
	10:40am BnowB: 16 years ago today RIP Elliott Smith
	10:40am Brendan: @Joe, yes. Steven’s version is kind of a shoegazey thing
	10:42am Listening in Oregon: Rosa Parks OutKast Johnny Thunder The Kinks ?
	10:42am melinda: I like the vocal blending in this better than in most Band songs.
	10:43am βrian: Shoegaze sounds like some kind of product that comes in a tube.
	10:44am Joe McG: @Oregon: "Rosa Parks" is a good one! I don't think Johnny Thunder was a real person, though.
	10:46am sphere: @ Joe McG - Just FYI, there was a thrashy hardcore band named Bloodhag who played nothing but songs named after science fiction and fantasy writers.
	10:46am DroneTree: Richie Dagger by the Germs?
	10:46am Boomer: I gaze down at my shoes wistfully while at my local scene shows.Support ur local scene
	10:46am Booz: Missed the announce, but does Van Dyke Parks's "The Four Mills Brothers" fit in this game?
	10:47am Booz: (Or "Bing Crosby," for that matter?)
	10:47am sphere: OK, they were death metal: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:48am Joe McG: @Booz: Not quite! Going for first name/last name. @sphere: Wow, interesting! Not my particular kind of music, but looks fun!
	10:48am Booz: Miles's "Miss Mabry" was also about Betty Davis. . .
	10:48am cheri the duff@: Good morning @Joe and all
	10:48am Joe McG: Oh, I don't know that "Bing Crosby" song. What album is it on?
	10:48am BSR turntable 1972: I think Johnny thunders was a comic book character that may have inspired Johnny thunders
	10:49am Booz: Van Dyke Parks - Discover America, 1972
	10:50am melinda: @Brian haha
	10:50am Joe McG: @Booz: Thanks, I'll see if we have it!
	10:50am Booz: (It also has a very excellent "Jack Palance," but his vocals are not well regarded...)
	10:51am coelacanth∅: didn't Miles do a whole album dedicated to his wife? (i forget which one though)
	10:51am βrian: Jack Palance: "I like your hat! ... Really!"

	11:29am Carmichael: I pledged on the iPhone app "manually", as in not logged in. That probably was the difference.

	11:44am melinda: @loneliestmonk ‘tumescent’ makes me laugh
