Mama! Hi Rex. Make it real greasy today.

Was finishing up in another room and got confused about time -- I thought that Michael Shelley had already ended and the Mr. T commercial was on Fool's Paradise. Out loud, to a confused cat, "Rex ...?"

1:06pm full metal monkey:

Hello Rex and all you other fools. ;)

@Gaylord that right there is The Unholy Three

1:37pm bobby jay:

those southern commercials only remind me of the great 1964 film...Two Thousand Maniacs...one of my favorite southern hospitality introductions...

Welcome to Cadillac Baby's Show Lounge, John from FP!

1:45pm mic_brake:

Shockingly, along with not actually dying in Vietnam, Joe West was not actually dead at the time of recording this song -- which casts nagging doubts on his revelations about the afterlife.

1:45pm John from Florham park:

@Handy howdy

1:49pm robbie:

learned to play slide thru Elmore James albums...but I've always loved the dirtier off slide of Hound Dog...keep it sliding Rex

2:21pm Spinning Giant:

Super cool stuff today, Rex - cheers from north of the 49th

2:22pm ?:

Yikes! I played in a rockabilly band and we shared a bill with Big Sandy! He was a very nice fella!

2:26pm Gaylord Fields:

Pro tip: Always pause at an all-black or all-maroon label to give it extra scrutiny.

2:32pm Layet Johnson:

Nice tip, Gaylord! I’m out here in Arkansas, maybe I’ll go out tomorrow and dig some. This shows inspiring! Anyway we can get all these tips listed somewhere?

2:34pm Gaylord Fields:

Go go go, Layet!! I bet if you watch Mack's YouTube videos, you'll pick up some useful pointers and be entertained in the process.

2:37pm dug:

this is one of the best phone interviews Ive ever heard on wfmu.
thanks, Rex & Mack
