	4:56pm Mr C: One hundred years from now Todd will still be jamming' on WFMU!
	4:58pm Ochre Ogre: From Wiki- ...group's appearance on the WSM program of legendary Nashville DJ, Ralph Emery, who mocked his guests throughout the interview and initially refused to play an acetate of "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere". Eventually playing the record, he dismissed it over the air and in the presence of the band as being mediocre.[30] Clearly upset by their treatment, Parsons and McGuinn would make Emery the subject of their song, "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man", which was written by the pair in London in May 1968.[31] The song appeared on the Byrds' next album, Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde

	🎸 ♥ 5:19pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Todd! I listen every week! Love your show along with so many others on WFMU. Most of my faves are in Ichiban, but I really look forward to spending Saturday afternoons on regular stream! Sorry you had technical difficulties today.

	4:56pm Mr C: One hundred years from now Todd will still be jamming' on WFMU!
	4:58pm Ochre Ogre: From Wiki- ...group's appearance on the WSM program of legendary Nashville DJ, Ralph Emery, who mocked his guests throughout the interview and initially refused to play an acetate of "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere". Eventually playing the record, he dismissed it over the air and in the presence of the band as being mediocre.[30] Clearly upset by their treatment, Parsons and McGuinn would make Emery the subject of their song, "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man", which was written by the pair in London in May 1968.[31] The song appeared on the Byrds' next album, Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde
