	9:52am TDK60: Joe, the circumstances were: as a teen, given a tour of WBAI (when it was in Midtown NYC) during the Bob Fass show. Walker was playin' live. Wavy Gravy was hanging out too. Quite an experience.
	9:52am Joe McG: @Ken: Oh, that's good news, indeed!
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Laura was co-hosting with Doug Schulkind on his show. Hearing her say my name when I pledged was quite wonderful.

	10:06am Listening Out There: Good morning from a late arrival...
	10:08am David (in London): Oh man, Perfidia. I absolutely love this tune.

	10:11am David (in London): @Brian in UK - Hello sir!
	10:11am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe!
	10:14am Asheville Jon: this reminds me very much of the Three Suns
	10:15am Joe McG: Hey Alex, David, everybody--thanks for saying hello!
	10:18am Listener Alexandra: I love the sound of schmaltz in the morning :-)
	👻 10:19am Webhamster Henry: It was working fine at 33 1/3
	10:19am Andrew_in_WI: Have any Baxter?
	10:19am Joe McG: I liked it slow, but I wanted to try it at the "right" speed.
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: David, what-ho.
	10:22am mentaldrift: nice JJ deep cut!
	10:23am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM asked about wayne & susquehanna because there's good skiing & fishing there. BAD drug probs tho. two poorest counties in PA
	👻 10:23am Brian in UK: Joe, I was playing Frank Sinatra's No One Cares Album the other day. Played Stormy Weather at 45rpm. Due to Frank's slow delivery it sounded kind of Eartha Kitt. It was not chipmonk material.
	10:24am Mike Wolf: thank you Joe
	10:26am melinda: I like this Memphis
	10:32am Listening Out There: @Brian (non-UK): You might be onto something...
	10:35am jillydg: G'day Joe. I'm sure JCM would love you.
	10:36am Joe McG: @jilly: Ha! Well, he should. I may be the only one who plays his records on this radio station!
	10:37am Malcolm: This cornershop song takes me back :)
	10:37am Roberto: JM + JCM: I ship it!
	👻 10:37am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: Sorry I just missed the dream story. Glad I made it for Cornershop! Ah, I was 13 years old when this came out.
	10:37am Roberto: JM + JCM: I ship it!
	10:37am steveo: Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow, mine’s on the forty-five.
	10:37am Roberto: I ship it twice!
	10:37am βrian: You alter ego could be Umlaut There.
	10:37am Roberto: I need a kitty for a pillow.
	10:38am MplsCoco: There it is! Everyone needs a bosom for a pillow!
	10:38am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe you got me and my baby dancing w/ Cornershop! 45 indeed!!
	10:38am The Oscar: If you have any Asha Bhosle 45s, this is the single file for them!
	10:39am Mike Wolf: Joe why am I bursting into tears at this Cornershop
	10:40am TheLoneliestMonk: 'brimful of asha' always makes me think of Liquid Todd & solid state
	10:40am Joe McG: @Oscar: I sure wish I did! @RachelBR: Hooray! @Coco: Indeed! @Trista: It wasn't much of a story, don't worry. Dreams are rarely very interesting.
	10:41am steveo: " Mon. 2/12/18 10:41amJoe McG: I wish I had all the records he mentions and I could do an all "Brimful" Single File!"
	10:42am Joe McG: @steveo: Yeah, and the bosom for a pillow while we're at it.
	10:42am steveo: such a catchy song i recalled it clearly from when you played it 2 years ago
	10:42am morphe': Is this the comedic interlude... Clip from an extended case scene from Manix? 2 lovers fleeing her Mafifia ex- husband hitman???
	10:43am jillydg: Love that whole Cornershop album. And Joe, that's what makes you special. (I'll listen to Scarecrow over and over.)
	10:43am The Oscar: Saw "Young Ones" and "Vivian" and got confused that this wasn't the version from the TV show!
	👻 10:44am Brian in UK: Oh Joe, my first single. Well the original Cliff Richard.
	10:45am Joe McG: "All right, Lee, if you must..." (burp)
	👻 10:45am tadpoles: Viv is a British National Treasure. Thanks for playing Joe..brilliant!
	👻 10:46am Hughie Considine: @Joe, a set of songs that feature burps, coughs and the like? Maybe? :)
	10:48am βrian: We set a bad example for out little one by laughing when she burps.
	👻 10:48am tadpoles: #Hughie...Viv has a song on his great "Men Opening Umbrellas Ahead" called "Yelp, Bellow, Rasp Et Cetera"
	10:48am Mark in Toronto: Those James Burton solos on Ricky Nelson songs just KILL
	10:48am Joe McG: There will be some Bonzo-related material in Hour 3, so stay tuned if you like that stuff.
	10:48am sphere: hey.
	10:49am morphe': Simon of 8 years is eating an apple and slapping his thigh
	👻 10:49am Hughie Considine: @Tadpoles, makes perfect sense that the mad Viv's canon is rife with bodily noises. He delighted in that in the Rawlinson's End stuff too. Ah, the wrinkled retainer...
	10:49am ChrisB.: I just picked up a Roger Ruskin Spear album that I had been looking for forever.
	10:50am sphere: Joe McG, have you heard of the Guitar Player comp series (Legends of Guitar)? it's pretty good.
	10:50am Mark in Toronto: J.D. Buhl sounds like an amazing cross of Elvis C. and Graham Parker
	10:50am Amanda: Hi Joe! So good to hear this JD Buhl record, I love it! I don't know if I still have mine :(
	10:51am Joe McG: @Mark: Agree! Incredibly intelligent lyrics, too, for a power pop record.
	10:51am Joe McG: Wow, hey Amanda!
	👻 10:51am tadpoles: #Hughie...not mad...just brilliantly eccentric in the great British tradition.
	10:53am Andrew_in_WI: I picture Sheila B playing this song
	👻 10:54am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Joe and everyone! I see I missed new Quintron and deep cut Joe Jackson. I had Look Sharp playing in my head all weekend.
	10:54am Joe McG: @Andrew: You are spot on. She gifted me this extra copy she had! :)
	11:01am Brendan: Whenever I feel I've had enough rain and start to complain, I think of the folks in Louisiana
	11:08am pf: some of the most satisfying bed musik in the biz
	11:10am Roberto: Play the Protest Song!
	👻 11:11am tadpoles: Famously one of the Rutles. Happy Birthday Neil.
	👻 11:11am Webhamster Henry: Neil Innis is one of the dozens of fifth Beatles. HOW SWEET TO BE AN IDIOT!
	11:11am The Oscar: Aw, yay! Got to see Neil once in college, and he was just as great and charming as you'd expect. One of my favorite songwriters ever, no qualifiers.
	11:12am Listener Alexandra: 75 years? Damn!
	👻 11:13am tim from champaign (now washington): It might be your theme song, Joe, but this is the story of my life!
	11:13am Roberto: Oh wait, there's an FCC-non-compliant word in that one. Well, you've got the dump button for that, right?
	11:13am pf: sesame street theme in there
	11:14am Joe McG: @tim: Ha ha ha
	11:14am heyitschris: First time hearing Neil Innes. Liked this a lot. What records should I check out?
	11:15am Brendan: Yes it is nice to pay tribute to people while they are alive. So too, money owed. I hope my creditors don't think me a 'deadbeat' when I shuffle off with my accounts unpaid. Except my bartender. I think when you get to a certain age you should prepay your tab.
	11:16am The Oscar: FYI, his site includes lyrics and chords for most if not all his songs, which always struck me as a pretty upstanding move on his part: neilinnes.media...
	11:16am Gary: Kinks, Bonzo Dog Band, Spirit. Fillmore East, 1968. One of the great shows. Bonzos blew my mind.
	11:18am TDK60: Sounds like really great show, Gary.
	👻 11:18am Webhamster Henry: And The Rutles!
	11:19am Joe McG: @Brendan: Good man.
	11:19am Carmichael: Bonzos! Oh, and Hi Joe ...
	11:19am The Oscar: @heyitschris As showcases for his work, I'd recommend "Keynsham" by the Bonzo Dog Band or either Rutles album. All the Bonzos' albums are great, but most lean more toward the (also great) nuttiness of co-founder Vivian Stanshall, who we heard earlier :)
	11:21am Tom from Boonton: Ruttlemania!!
	11:21am Roberto: Rutles songs were a hit with my elementary school carpool.
	👻 11:21am tadpoles: #Heyitschris....He wrote a lot of the "popier" Bonzo songs....he and Viv were a great team. One of their earliest singles is just a fantastic slice of England...up there with the Kinks IMHO: www.youtube.com...
	👻 11:21am Webhamster Henry: I hope Joe plays a little from Rutles Highway Revisited, the Rutles Tribute Album.
	11:22am Carmichael: The Rutles' 1st album was made in 20 minutes. The 2nd took even longer.
	👻 11:22am tim from champaign (now washington): Hearing I must Be In Love makes me wonder if UK bands like Orange Juice or Felt were influenced by the Rutles just as much as the Beatles.
	11:22am jess: Rutles!
	11:24am Joe McG: @Carmichael: :)
	11:25am heyitschris: Thanks @The Oscar, going to check that out. I'm a little bit familiar with the Rutles, but didn't know he was involved. @Tadpoles, just listened to The Equestrian Statues, it's great!
	👻 11:25am tim from champaign (now washington): Neil Innes is about the best at writing hilarious songs that are musically solid.
	11:25am morphe': you have my Simon Yelling: CHICK A BOW BOW!!!! What is the direct line to FMU's legal dept? 201-200-93????
	11:26am sphere: @ tim - what do you think about Spinal Tap?
	11:26am Joe McG: @morphe: ha ha!
	11:27am The Oscar: When I saw him he put on a huge pair of Elton John glasses for this one!
	11:27am Carmichael: Innes was Ron Nasty, and Eric Idle was Dirk McQuickly.
	11:29am melinda: I know a bit of Rutles but these are new to me, fun stuff.
	11:31am Joe McG: @Oscar: Cool! @melinda: I'm deep-diving a bit today.
	11:31am Cmurtha: these last two songs have been BANGERS
	11:31am Carmichael: Cheese and Onions and Piggy in the Middle are 2 great Rutles songs.
	11:32am melinda: It’s like someone possessed Billy Joel and made him start doing funny material.
	11:32am Hubig Pie: I loved the part where Blind Lemon Pye claimed that The Rutles stole all his music(or was it Rattlin' Orange Peel)?
	👻 11:32am tim from champaign (now washington): @sphere - also solid music but tongue in cheek for sure. I don't think I'd sit down to listen to the Spinal Tap album (I'd watch the movie anytime though) but I would throw on a Bonzo Dog Band record anytime.
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: I never cease to be amazed how popular the Bonzoes were in America because the humour is frightfully English. Perhaps it is just FMU listeners that give this impression. Terry Keeps His Clips On always makes me laugh, from Viv's Teddy Boys Don't Knit.
	11:33am Brendan: Great philisophical question in Godfrey . Rock and Roll has ignored the chicken and egg question too long. Neil was a rebel and a pioneer. I mean 'is' not 'was' . Gotta get used to these living tributes.
	11:34am melinda: @Carm I like Piggy in the Middle and Doubleback Alley
	👻 11:34am tadpoles: Yes BrianUK..."Calypso to Calapso"...wonderful!
	👻 11:35am Brian in UK: Always cracked me up that there were Rutles tribute bands.
	👻 11:35am tim from champaign (now washington): Another bit of comedy music for me that transcends novelty is Alice Bowie Band's "Earache My Eye." I love that song!
	👻 11:36am Brian in UK: @tadpoles, the lyrics to Bass Macaw & Broken Bottles is very disturbing.
	11:37am The Oscar: Don't know if it's on the docket, but the '90s Rutles album ("Archaeology") is super underrated. The version of "Shangri La" on that album may be the most comprehensive Beatles parody ever recorded.
	👻 11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): And Eddie Murphy's "Boogie in the Butt". That a jam!
	11:38am morphe': God might be Love?? But Simon asked me why no school today in Madrid - I explained that it is a "Catholic" country and today is the Fete of the Immaculate Conception - Jesus without sex.. He said, "That is so OB b iously false!!!" Neil does have a great voice.. Thanks Joe ... till
	11:39am Bill W: I saw Neil play at Maxwells (gonna guess a dozen years ago?). He opened with "Urban Spaceman," said "That was my medley of hit," and tossed off the Beatle wig he was wearing.
	11:39am Carmichael: @The Osacar, Lonely Phobia and I Love You are great songs from that "collection".
	11:40am dave wuz here: there's a dj on wzbc up here in boston that has used "earache my eye" for bed music and it cracks me up every time i here that riff.
	11:40am steveo: he does sound like john though, right?
	11:40am johnzo: THE RUTTLES
	11:41am Bill W: Neil tweets of course https://twitter.com/NeilInnes/status/1203939681190187008
	11:41am jess: this is awesome!
	11:42am melinda: @steveo he does
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: Neil strikes me as being a decent cove as well as very talented.
	11:43am steveo: even on his non-Rutles stuff
	11:44am Joe McG: @BillW: Oh, that's nice to know!
	11:45am johnzo: Play some bongo dog doo dah band... death cab fee cutie!
	11:45am johnzo: For*
	11:46am The Oscar: @steveo I think I read somewhere that the Rutles began because Eric Idle pointed out that the songs he was writing for the show they were doing together were getting more and more Beatlesque, so they decided to lean into the curve!
	👻 11:48am tadpoles: Thanks for this immersion Joe. A wonderful morning of listening. Cheers
	👻 11:51am Brian in UK: What tadpoles writ. Great show.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Miss Innes Trib ! Outstanding. Will be linking to that... Rutles is plain freaking genius - & before Spinal Tap. The dry take on it is part of the thang... Did he get Clapton on that last one??
	11:51am johnzo: Damn I didn’t even know you played some already haha guess I didn’t know those ones
	11:52am johnzo: Now I feel dumb. Happy birthday Neil!
	👻 11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Have a bright and sunny week. Still time to send pledges for 2019 tax advantages, folks!
	11:52am The Oscar: So nice to hear a tribute like that and not walk away sad that the artist is gone!
	👻 11:52am Webhamster Henry: I actually saw All You Need Is Cash when it was broadcast.
	11:53am Brendan: Ruts and grooves are the stuff that Surface Noise is made of. Thanks for making all my Monday ruts groovy, @Joe!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Crap ratings on broadcast of course.
	11:53am Mike Wolf: “Horses” was a most dramatic moment in his set last night. Thank you again Joe.
	11:55am Joe McG: Nice to hear, Mike! I wish I could've gone.
	11:55am Cmurtha: thanks for the show, and introducing me to Neil Innes (who I suppose I had heard before through the Rutles but not his solo stuff)
	11:56am TDK60: Wow Joe, don't hear Procol Harum much anymore.
	11:57am steveo: today i learned that procol harum has more than one song (and i like it!)
	11:57am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone. Had a nice time on this rainy day. Have a great week and stay dry!
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bonzos actually in Magical Mystery Tour of course - & Macca Produced 'Urban Spaceman' as Apollo C. Vermouth ...& many links text Bonzoz & Python - so few degrees separation all around...
	11:58am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ending strong w/ Procol Harum! Thx for the company this AM, Joe :D
	11:58am Dominick: Thanks Joe!
	11:59am sphere: thanks joe
	12:00pm rw: Every Procul Harum track sounds like a closer to me. Thanks Joe!!
	12:00pm TLM: cya next week joe!
	5:01pm WR: Just in time Joe. I hope Neil heard this and many other tributes on his birthday. Had book marked this show since seeing it mentioned on DDR. The unexpected and sad news today put listening to this to the top of the list. Lovely survey. Followed the Twitter link @Bill W posted @11:41. Just a few days ago he was grumping cleverly about the world. Had not noticed before how much love of humanity he carried with every clever turn of phrase.

	9:52am TDK60: Joe, the circumstances were: as a teen, given a tour of WBAI (when it was in Midtown NYC) during the Bob Fass show. Walker was playin' live. Wavy Gravy was hanging out too. Quite an experience.

	10:08am David (in London): Oh man, Perfidia. I absolutely love this tune.

	10:11am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe!
	10:14am Asheville Jon: this reminds me very much of the Three Suns
	10:15am Joe McG: Hey Alex, David, everybody--thanks for saying hello!
	10:18am Listener Alexandra: I love the sound of schmaltz in the morning :-)
	👻 10:19am Webhamster Henry: It was working fine at 33 1/3
	10:19am Andrew_in_WI: Have any Baxter?
	10:19am Joe McG: I liked it slow, but I wanted to try it at the "right" speed.
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: David, what-ho.
	10:22am mentaldrift: nice JJ deep cut!
	10:23am TheLoneliestMonk: @JM asked about wayne & susquehanna because there's good skiing & fishing there. BAD drug probs tho. two poorest counties in PA
	👻 10:23am Brian in UK: Joe, I was playing Frank Sinatra's No One Cares Album the other day. Played Stormy Weather at 45rpm. Due to Frank's slow delivery it sounded kind of Eartha Kitt. It was not chipmonk material.
	10:24am Mike Wolf: thank you Joe
	10:26am melinda: I like this Memphis
	10:32am Listening Out There: @Brian (non-UK): You might be onto something...
	10:35am jillydg: G'day Joe. I'm sure JCM would love you.
	10:36am Joe McG: @jilly: Ha! Well, he should. I may be the only one who plays his records on this radio station!
	10:37am Malcolm: This cornershop song takes me back :)
	10:37am Roberto: JM + JCM: I ship it!
	👻 10:37am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: Sorry I just missed the dream story. Glad I made it for Cornershop! Ah, I was 13 years old when this came out.
	10:37am Roberto: JM + JCM: I ship it!
	10:37am steveo: Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow, mine’s on the forty-five.
	10:37am Roberto: I ship it twice!
	10:37am βrian: You alter ego could be Umlaut There.
	10:37am Roberto: I need a kitty for a pillow.
	10:38am MplsCoco: There it is! Everyone needs a bosom for a pillow!
	10:38am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe you got me and my baby dancing w/ Cornershop! 45 indeed!!
	10:38am The Oscar: If you have any Asha Bhosle 45s, this is the single file for them!
	10:39am Mike Wolf: Joe why am I bursting into tears at this Cornershop
	10:40am TheLoneliestMonk: 'brimful of asha' always makes me think of Liquid Todd & solid state
	10:40am Joe McG: @Oscar: I sure wish I did! @RachelBR: Hooray! @Coco: Indeed! @Trista: It wasn't much of a story, don't worry. Dreams are rarely very interesting.
	10:41am steveo: " Mon. 2/12/18 10:41amJoe McG: I wish I had all the records he mentions and I could do an all "Brimful" Single File!"
	10:42am Joe McG: @steveo: Yeah, and the bosom for a pillow while we're at it.
	10:42am steveo: such a catchy song i recalled it clearly from when you played it 2 years ago
	10:42am morphe': Is this the comedic interlude... Clip from an extended case scene from Manix? 2 lovers fleeing her Mafifia ex- husband hitman???
	10:43am jillydg: Love that whole Cornershop album. And Joe, that's what makes you special. (I'll listen to Scarecrow over and over.)
	10:43am The Oscar: Saw "Young Ones" and "Vivian" and got confused that this wasn't the version from the TV show!
	👻 10:44am Brian in UK: Oh Joe, my first single. Well the original Cliff Richard.
	10:45am Joe McG: "All right, Lee, if you must..." (burp)
	👻 10:45am tadpoles: Viv is a British National Treasure. Thanks for playing Joe..brilliant!
	👻 10:46am Hughie Considine: @Joe, a set of songs that feature burps, coughs and the like? Maybe? :)
	10:48am βrian: We set a bad example for out little one by laughing when she burps.
	👻 10:48am tadpoles: #Hughie...Viv has a song on his great "Men Opening Umbrellas Ahead" called "Yelp, Bellow, Rasp Et Cetera"
	10:48am Mark in Toronto: Those James Burton solos on Ricky Nelson songs just KILL
	10:48am Joe McG: There will be some Bonzo-related material in Hour 3, so stay tuned if you like that stuff.
	10:48am sphere: hey.
	10:49am morphe': Simon of 8 years is eating an apple and slapping his thigh
	👻 10:49am Hughie Considine: @Tadpoles, makes perfect sense that the mad Viv's canon is rife with bodily noises. He delighted in that in the Rawlinson's End stuff too. Ah, the wrinkled retainer...
	10:49am ChrisB.: I just picked up a Roger Ruskin Spear album that I had been looking for forever.
	10:50am sphere: Joe McG, have you heard of the Guitar Player comp series (Legends of Guitar)? it's pretty good.
	10:50am Mark in Toronto: J.D. Buhl sounds like an amazing cross of Elvis C. and Graham Parker
	10:50am Amanda: Hi Joe! So good to hear this JD Buhl record, I love it! I don't know if I still have mine :(
	10:51am Joe McG: @Mark: Agree! Incredibly intelligent lyrics, too, for a power pop record.
	10:51am Joe McG: Wow, hey Amanda!
	👻 10:51am tadpoles: #Hughie...not mad...just brilliantly eccentric in the great British tradition.
	10:53am Andrew_in_WI: I picture Sheila B playing this song
	👻 10:54am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Joe and everyone! I see I missed new Quintron and deep cut Joe Jackson. I had Look Sharp playing in my head all weekend.
	10:54am Joe McG: @Andrew: You are spot on. She gifted me this extra copy she had! :)
	11:01am Brendan: Whenever I feel I've had enough rain and start to complain, I think of the folks in Louisiana
	11:08am pf: some of the most satisfying bed musik in the biz
	11:10am Roberto: Play the Protest Song!
	👻 11:11am tadpoles: Famously one of the Rutles. Happy Birthday Neil.
	👻 11:11am Webhamster Henry: Neil Innis is one of the dozens of fifth Beatles. HOW SWEET TO BE AN IDIOT!
	11:11am The Oscar: Aw, yay! Got to see Neil once in college, and he was just as great and charming as you'd expect. One of my favorite songwriters ever, no qualifiers.
	11:12am Listener Alexandra: 75 years? Damn!
	👻 11:13am tim from champaign (now washington): It might be your theme song, Joe, but this is the story of my life!
	11:13am Roberto: Oh wait, there's an FCC-non-compliant word in that one. Well, you've got the dump button for that, right?
	11:13am pf: sesame street theme in there
	11:14am Joe McG: @tim: Ha ha ha
	11:14am heyitschris: First time hearing Neil Innes. Liked this a lot. What records should I check out?
	11:15am Brendan: Yes it is nice to pay tribute to people while they are alive. So too, money owed. I hope my creditors don't think me a 'deadbeat' when I shuffle off with my accounts unpaid. Except my bartender. I think when you get to a certain age you should prepay your tab.
	11:16am The Oscar: FYI, his site includes lyrics and chords for most if not all his songs, which always struck me as a pretty upstanding move on his part: neilinnes.media...
	11:16am Gary: Kinks, Bonzo Dog Band, Spirit. Fillmore East, 1968. One of the great shows. Bonzos blew my mind.
	11:18am TDK60: Sounds like really great show, Gary.
	👻 11:18am Webhamster Henry: And The Rutles!
	11:19am Joe McG: @Brendan: Good man.
	11:19am Carmichael: Bonzos! Oh, and Hi Joe ...
	11:19am The Oscar: @heyitschris As showcases for his work, I'd recommend "Keynsham" by the Bonzo Dog Band or either Rutles album. All the Bonzos' albums are great, but most lean more toward the (also great) nuttiness of co-founder Vivian Stanshall, who we heard earlier :)
	11:21am Tom from Boonton: Ruttlemania!!
	11:21am Roberto: Rutles songs were a hit with my elementary school carpool.
	👻 11:21am tadpoles: #Heyitschris....He wrote a lot of the "popier" Bonzo songs....he and Viv were a great team. One of their earliest singles is just a fantastic slice of England...up there with the Kinks IMHO: www.youtube.com...
	👻 11:21am Webhamster Henry: I hope Joe plays a little from Rutles Highway Revisited, the Rutles Tribute Album.
	11:22am Carmichael: The Rutles' 1st album was made in 20 minutes. The 2nd took even longer.
	👻 11:22am tim from champaign (now washington): Hearing I must Be In Love makes me wonder if UK bands like Orange Juice or Felt were influenced by the Rutles just as much as the Beatles.
	11:22am jess: Rutles!
	11:24am Joe McG: @Carmichael: :)
	11:25am heyitschris: Thanks @The Oscar, going to check that out. I'm a little bit familiar with the Rutles, but didn't know he was involved. @Tadpoles, just listened to The Equestrian Statues, it's great!
	👻 11:25am tim from champaign (now washington): Neil Innes is about the best at writing hilarious songs that are musically solid.
	11:25am morphe': you have my Simon Yelling: CHICK A BOW BOW!!!! What is the direct line to FMU's legal dept? 201-200-93????
	11:26am sphere: @ tim - what do you think about Spinal Tap?
	11:26am Joe McG: @morphe: ha ha!
	11:27am The Oscar: When I saw him he put on a huge pair of Elton John glasses for this one!
	11:27am Carmichael: Innes was Ron Nasty, and Eric Idle was Dirk McQuickly.
	11:29am melinda: I know a bit of Rutles but these are new to me, fun stuff.
	11:31am Joe McG: @Oscar: Cool! @melinda: I'm deep-diving a bit today.
	11:31am Cmurtha: these last two songs have been BANGERS
	11:31am Carmichael: Cheese and Onions and Piggy in the Middle are 2 great Rutles songs.
	11:32am melinda: It’s like someone possessed Billy Joel and made him start doing funny material.
	11:32am Hubig Pie: I loved the part where Blind Lemon Pye claimed that The Rutles stole all his music(or was it Rattlin' Orange Peel)?
	👻 11:32am tim from champaign (now washington): @sphere - also solid music but tongue in cheek for sure. I don't think I'd sit down to listen to the Spinal Tap album (I'd watch the movie anytime though) but I would throw on a Bonzo Dog Band record anytime.
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: I never cease to be amazed how popular the Bonzoes were in America because the humour is frightfully English. Perhaps it is just FMU listeners that give this impression. Terry Keeps His Clips On always makes me laugh, from Viv's Teddy Boys Don't Knit.
	11:33am Brendan: Great philisophical question in Godfrey . Rock and Roll has ignored the chicken and egg question too long. Neil was a rebel and a pioneer. I mean 'is' not 'was' . Gotta get used to these living tributes.
	11:34am melinda: @Carm I like Piggy in the Middle and Doubleback Alley
	👻 11:34am tadpoles: Yes BrianUK..."Calypso to Calapso"...wonderful!
	👻 11:35am Brian in UK: Always cracked me up that there were Rutles tribute bands.
	👻 11:35am tim from champaign (now washington): Another bit of comedy music for me that transcends novelty is Alice Bowie Band's "Earache My Eye." I love that song!
	👻 11:36am Brian in UK: @tadpoles, the lyrics to Bass Macaw & Broken Bottles is very disturbing.
	11:37am The Oscar: Don't know if it's on the docket, but the '90s Rutles album ("Archaeology") is super underrated. The version of "Shangri La" on that album may be the most comprehensive Beatles parody ever recorded.
	👻 11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): And Eddie Murphy's "Boogie in the Butt". That a jam!
	11:38am morphe': God might be Love?? But Simon asked me why no school today in Madrid - I explained that it is a "Catholic" country and today is the Fete of the Immaculate Conception - Jesus without sex.. He said, "That is so OB b iously false!!!" Neil does have a great voice.. Thanks Joe ... till
	11:39am Bill W: I saw Neil play at Maxwells (gonna guess a dozen years ago?). He opened with "Urban Spaceman," said "That was my medley of hit," and tossed off the Beatle wig he was wearing.
	11:39am Carmichael: @The Osacar, Lonely Phobia and I Love You are great songs from that "collection".
	11:40am dave wuz here: there's a dj on wzbc up here in boston that has used "earache my eye" for bed music and it cracks me up every time i here that riff.
	11:40am steveo: he does sound like john though, right?
	11:40am johnzo: THE RUTTLES
	11:41am Bill W: Neil tweets of course https://twitter.com/NeilInnes/status/1203939681190187008
	11:41am jess: this is awesome!
	11:42am melinda: @steveo he does
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: Neil strikes me as being a decent cove as well as very talented.
	11:43am steveo: even on his non-Rutles stuff
	11:44am Joe McG: @BillW: Oh, that's nice to know!
	11:45am johnzo: Play some bongo dog doo dah band... death cab fee cutie!
	11:45am johnzo: For*
	11:46am The Oscar: @steveo I think I read somewhere that the Rutles began because Eric Idle pointed out that the songs he was writing for the show they were doing together were getting more and more Beatlesque, so they decided to lean into the curve!
	👻 11:48am tadpoles: Thanks for this immersion Joe. A wonderful morning of listening. Cheers
	👻 11:51am Brian in UK: What tadpoles writ. Great show.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Miss Innes Trib ! Outstanding. Will be linking to that... Rutles is plain freaking genius - & before Spinal Tap. The dry take on it is part of the thang... Did he get Clapton on that last one??
	11:51am johnzo: Damn I didn’t even know you played some already haha guess I didn’t know those ones
	11:52am johnzo: Now I feel dumb. Happy birthday Neil!
	👻 11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Have a bright and sunny week. Still time to send pledges for 2019 tax advantages, folks!
	11:52am The Oscar: So nice to hear a tribute like that and not walk away sad that the artist is gone!
	👻 11:52am Webhamster Henry: I actually saw All You Need Is Cash when it was broadcast.
	11:53am Brendan: Ruts and grooves are the stuff that Surface Noise is made of. Thanks for making all my Monday ruts groovy, @Joe!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Crap ratings on broadcast of course.
	11:53am Mike Wolf: “Horses” was a most dramatic moment in his set last night. Thank you again Joe.
	11:55am Joe McG: Nice to hear, Mike! I wish I could've gone.
	11:55am Cmurtha: thanks for the show, and introducing me to Neil Innes (who I suppose I had heard before through the Rutles but not his solo stuff)
	11:56am TDK60: Wow Joe, don't hear Procol Harum much anymore.
	11:57am steveo: today i learned that procol harum has more than one song (and i like it!)
	11:57am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone. Had a nice time on this rainy day. Have a great week and stay dry!
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bonzos actually in Magical Mystery Tour of course - & Macca Produced 'Urban Spaceman' as Apollo C. Vermouth ...& many links text Bonzoz & Python - so few degrees separation all around...
	11:58am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ending strong w/ Procol Harum! Thx for the company this AM, Joe :D
	11:58am Dominick: Thanks Joe!
	11:59am sphere: thanks joe
	12:00pm rw: Every Procul Harum track sounds like a closer to me. Thanks Joe!!
	12:00pm TLM: cya next week joe!
	5:01pm WR: Just in time Joe. I hope Neil heard this and many other tributes on his birthday. Had book marked this show since seeing it mentioned on DDR. The unexpected and sad news today put listening to this to the top of the list. Lovely survey. Followed the Twitter link @Bill W posted @11:41. Just a few days ago he was grumping cleverly about the world. Had not noticed before how much love of humanity he carried with every clever turn of phrase.
