	11:02am Michael Shelley: Baby - what will the high temp be in Paso?

	11:03am Squints: Pedro, no one can kill The Killer.
	11:06am Sparkmouthnun: Gee whiz! This Los Shakers tune is just the best!
	11:06am Handy Haversack: Happy Saturday, Michael and the Shelletones!
	11:07am DJ Guin: I don't know who I respect more. Buddy Holly, for participating in an Orgy with Little Richard, or Little Richard for inviting him to join in.
	11:08am Sparkmouthnun: Assuming there will be an explanation forthcoming for that delish-looking cuisine?
	11:08am Dennis Diken: go Mikey!
	11:09am Baby: 90??
	11:09am clarkie: Sounds good Michael...pow pow pow

	11:10am kpx: Mikey Mikey Bo Bikey.
	11:12am Einstraus: Another Saturday morning in Vancouver!! eating oatmeal and listening to Michael Shelley on WFMU!!!
	11:15am P-90: Can’t get enough of these guys. From a certain perspective, Louis Prima can be seen as the Frank Zappa of his day.
	11:15am myron feld: One of 253 different favorite Prima moments: I forget in which song, but he's scatting with Sam's sax answering, til he rips off something in Italiano, Sam stumbles with it, and Louis says, "Whassmatta, Sam, you can't play in Italian?"
	11:16am CTEmpress: Happy Saturday!
	11:16am Corey: Morning Michael and everybody! Nice to join you on this sunny Saturday.
	11:17am Gary: RIP Little Richard :(
	11:17am Joe McG: Louis and Keely hit the spot, Michael, thanks!
	11:17am Hughie Considine: I discovered Brendan Benson on this show - this is stellar.
	11:18am Handy Haversack: Good to see you, Corey!
	11:18am Bill in W.O.: FWIW, this new Brendan Benson record is available now.
	11:18am kpx: Or-Michael Michael motorcycle! . Will Michael Shilley be announced?
	11:24am jake6573: It was a mountain climbing accident.
	11:24am DRATSUM: Wasn’t it a climbing accident? Not motorcycle
	11:24am jake6573: reason why he wears beard glasses hat, hides all the scars
	11:25am jake6573: from his face being crushed
	11:25am Grilbert: Nice save mike
	11:25am Moammar: Weird fact: The double ugly stick actually makes you three times as ugly as a single ugly stick. No one knows why.
	11:25am Jett: I always liked Hank Jr. (Bocephus) the guy is cool with me. His father is my favorite artist of all-time.
	11:25am jake6573: saw him last summer open for Skynyrd
	11:26am melinda: 'they just got out of the ugly house' haha
	11:26am CTEmpress: Just got out of the ugly house! I need a good laugh today! Thanks!
	11:26am Corey: @Handy Nice to see you too! Try not to be anywhere else on Saturday mornings if I can help it.
	11:27am jake6573: Bocephus was drunk, pissed off, acting like he did not want to be there and totally fantastic, played acoustic, electric guitar, fiddle, piano.
	11:28am clarke: howdy from new orleans
	11:28am Hughie Considine: Lots of juicy putdowns about appearance in old R&B. Thinking about "Please Pass the Biscuits Please" Look at Uncle John down thar. He's had fo' biscuits already. No wonder he got fo' chins. An' there's Aint Lucy down at the other en'. I thought she was on a diet.
	11:29am jake6573: Don't like to recommend greatest hits albums, BUT, Hank Williams Jr greatest hits vol 4, best record I own.
	11:29am clarke: and sanjay's piece!!
	11:30am Michael Shelley: Hank Sr. one of the greatest songwriters ever... top 5... ALSO Im one if the few that likes the weird fake "duet" records between Jr & Sr
	11:31am kpx: ever notice how HW illegitimate daughter looks and sounds like him. but bocephus doesn't. know what I'm saying.
	11:32am clarke: greatest hits i do NOT consider an "album" - hank jr's Hell Bent And Whiskey Bound IS a great great album!!
	11:33am jake6573: @Mike Shelley, total agree about Hank Sr.
	11:33am clarke: but, i dont care for the duets thang - i DO like biscuits!!! bis-kits.
	11:34am jake6573: @clarke, agreed.Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound ! Incredible,
	11:34am Tim 07030: If you just skim these comments you might be left with the impression that Little Richard died in a mountain climbing accident. And hi, Michael!
	11:34am vertual: Please pass the biscuits
	11:36am Frank In Queens: Spill!
	11:36am plumplop pimple: hello from egham, uk. go
	11:36am Jett: Surprised you haven't played Little Richard yet, Michael. R.I.P. A great rock n roll legend, so influenced by his hero, Esquerita.
	11:36am doctorrock: There we go! Set the record straight.
	11:37am clarke: frank - did you notice the re-date of carboro show?
	11:38am Frank In Queens: Yes, October. Ain't gonna happen though...
	11:38am plumplop pimple:
	11:38am clarke: yeah i don't think so -- BUT...
	11:38am Hughie Considine: Can't hep it...man his voice is just so outta control!
	11:38am Frank In Queens: Also, Baltimore on a Sat in Nov. If by some miracle these shows happen, I'll probably go to that one as well.
	11:38am paul: We still have Wanda Jackson
	11:39am Baja Joe: Macaroni cake
	11:39am clarke: i would definitely be interested should it happen!
	11:39am Ira: Phantom of the Paradise's Gerrit Graham: the only actor/rock writer?
	11:39am Jett: "The Girl Can't Help It" also a great film. Love it!
	11:39am Hughie Considine: Verily, @Paul
	11:40am Sigurður: @ Michael... That's a good pick
	11:40am jake6573: Did not know Little Richard passed. A talent so immense it is hard to believe. Forget where i saw it, but Love Joe Strummers remarks about him.
	11:40am clarke: got a question for ya Hughie.
	11:40am Andres: Little Richard, you're the best!
	11:40am paul: Wanda Lavonne Jackson is a retired American singer, songwriter, pianist and guitarist who had success in the mid-1950s and 1960s as one of the first popular female rockabilly singers, and a pioneering rock-and-roll artist. She is known to many as the "Queen of Rockabilly" or the "First Lady of Rockabilly". Wikipedia Born: October 20, 1937 (age 82 years), Maud, OK
	11:40am kpx: I thought he died years ago. just how old was he?
	11:40am Corey: Pretty great showcase of the man's singular talents. RIP.
	11:41am DJ Guin: "Have the Rolling Stones killed." - C. Montgomery Burns
	11:41am Baby: Sounding great Baby. From what I can hear above the weed whacked. Saw 2 bass players once too. Talking Heads. What a mess. Hi Jupe!
	11:41am paul: 87
	11:41am paul: kpx:87
	11:43am kpx: thx Paul.
	11:43am Mike & Dusty: Great show, level vibe for the people
	11:43am Jett: Funny, I played this Peggy Lee - That Man, record here at home yesterday. Total 1966 Batman tribute!
	11:44am clarke: or really this question is for the group: if the title of an album is contained in a song, but that song's title is NOT the title track, would the song be called the titular track? sounds to sexual for me??
	11:44am paul: You're welcome.
	11:45am Pedro in Arlington: Can't imagine the impact to hear new Richard coming out of a radio in the 1950s. Probably nothing can compare from the last 40 years.
	11:45am Hughie Considine: @Clarke, I prefer 'title track' -- that scenario would seem to complicate things beyond my capacity to think.
	11:45am Hughie Considine: I mean, I don't see titular as making a distinction.
	11:46am clarke: ha ha, well, a title track is when the title is the same name as the album.
	11:47am paul: agree with Clarke
	11:47am clarke: i mean "title-containing track" is weird too
	11:48am Hughie Considine: Does this happen often?
	11:48am clarke: sure!
	11:49am clarke: Tyrranosaurus Rex...a lot
	11:49am kpx: they also made a movie, The girl can't help, taken from the song title way back in the day. featuring one of those blonde bombshells,I can't remember which one.
	11:50am paul: Jayne Mansfield
	11:50am paul: She was titular.
	11:51am clarke: also, not meaning to diminish the contributions of Mr. Penniman, on iota, but he "picked" a strange time to pass away - i mean, there is just so much loss, this week, month, year. he was one of the greatest!!
	11:53am Handy Haversack: Can you now post a pic of the rigatoni pie recipe?
	11:53am clarke: in other words, his legend may be getting swept under the rug, but he was utterly deserving of better tribute.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: He picked a fine time to leave us..."LUCILLE!!"
	11:54am CTEmpress: Say yeah Homer Banks!
	11:54am clarke: still, as has been mentioned, richard stole EVERYthing from Esquirita. that said, he was fantastic!!
	11:55am kpx: oh ya, that's right. she was decapitated in a car wreck in 1967 I believe.
	11:55am Hughie Considine: Esquerita stole it from somewhere...
	11:55am clarke: another planet!!
	11:55am Hughie Considine: @KPX not decapitated. That was an enduring urban legend. No doubt it was a horrific crash.
	11:56am Sno-Time at the Apollo: This isn't a cover of Let's Spend the Night Together?
	11:56am paul: That was the rumor. Apparently, it was actually her wig that landed on the hood of the car.
	11:56am clarke: that crash happened not far from where i am at the moment
	11:56am Hughie Considine: Exactly, but you know, print the legend.
	11:56am spodiodi: looks like exogorths may be living inside that rigatoni asteroid. look at these holes! look at these holes.
	11:56am Andres: Little Richard in Down and Out in Beverly Hills was an absolute scene stealer. I haven't rewatched it since it came out but I remember the movie as great and his performance in it as even better.
	11:57am scott: She is the reason for Mansfield bars on tractror-trailers.
	11:58am clarke: also, as a kid i saw the death car displayed at a local fair in new orleans. jeez.
	11:59am Hughie Considine: She did live on because of the lurid ending, that's for sure @clarke
	12:00pm clarke: but, again, detracting from the legend of Little Richard. new orleans was DEFINITELY Richard's peak of creativity!! cosmo's factory et al
	12:01pm kpx: @hughie, come to think of it I think you're alright.maybe was just partially torn?. and is this right. with two grown children and a crop in the fields.
	12:01pm scott: Don't forget 'Kiss Them for Me' by Siouxsie and the Banshees
	12:01pm Hubig Pie: I thought I was looking at a crown roast of tamales
	12:03pm Marley P. Dogg: Great show today Michael - hope you’re well
	12:04pm clarke: also, on the subject, while LR's recording band was possibly the GREATEST band EVER assembled; however, the film i have seen from LR's regular live band were insanely great, as well. this is even before hendrix, too!
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: @kpx, you are correct - and consider this: Kenny Rogers passed away a few weeks ago, so I imagine Kenny and Little Richard are duetting on a cloud right about now, doing a cosmic mashup of their two Lucille songs...
	12:04pm Sparkmouthnun: Jayne Mansfield was Mariska Hargitay's (Law & Order) mom, FWIW...
	12:05pm kpx: I'm making typos left and right here. please try to look past them.
	12:05pm clarke: and eatin' fried chikkin!!!
	12:05pm Handy Haversack: It's clobberin' time!
	12:06pm Hughie Considine: Great track, @Scott. Surprised there aren't more musical Mansfield tributes out there...It's a ripe topic.
	12:07pm Jordon: rigatoni pie...https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/ricotta-stuffed-rigatoni-pie-with-meat-sauce-3734825 I modified from a bunch of different recipes...adding fake meat and also adding ricotta piped into the noodles...
	12:08pm clarke: JORDON!!!!!!!! HOWDY!!!
	12:08pm Jordon: Hi!
	12:09pm Pedro in Arlington: And gotta love Earl Palmer on those Cosimo recordings of Richard and then moving to LA and being the OTHER Wrecking Crew drummer.
	12:09pm clarke: you don't wanna go down to the basement!!! down to the B!!!
	12:10pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Jordon! Which fake meat did you use? We have some GimmeLean in the fridge I have to use up -- and we go through the Field Roast "sausages" at a good clip!
	12:11pm Handy Haversack: That's not a knife. It's a spoon.
	12:11pm Sparkmouthnun: Wow! Haven't heard this Lobos tune in too long! Great shtuf!
	12:13pm paul: Is Jordon Ms. Shelley?
	12:13pm Kpx: @pedro, I didn't know that. I thought howl Blain was the only drummer.
	12:14pm Jordon: Hi Handy, I think it was gardein beefless ground...but anything would probably work!
	12:14pm doctorrock: Wait what?...
	12:14pm clarke: NO kpx
	12:14pm CTEmpress: I use MorningStar crumbles for fake meat @Handy Haversack
	12:15pm Dean: Saw Los Lobos when they opened for Public Image Ltd. David Hidalgo used to bring his kids to the public library where I worked during the '90s in SoCal.
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: Gardein and Field Roast are tops!
	12:15pm clarke: there is supposedly a crisis for beef - they are going to have to euthanize thousands of cattle because there is no one working to process
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: Tofurkey products ain't half either.
	12:15pm Handy Haversack: @CTEmpress -- yes! Those were our taco night base earlier this week. Taco night is always exciting!
	12:15pm plasticguitarman: I do enjoy the fake bologna
	12:15pm Hubig Pie: I use Hamburger Helper
	12:16pm Handy Haversack: @Frank: My "sausage" and peppers is generally either the Tofurky Italian or Lite Life.
	12:16pm Jett: Fishing anyone? https://www.gif-vif.com/gifs/Fishing-is-fun-they-said/
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: Beyond makes good "beef" crumbles as well, but a bit on the pricey side.
	12:16pm Michael Shelley: True Frank. The Gardine meatballs... crumbled in red sauce... really good
	12:17pm clarke: @Frank: my sausage and peppers are TOTALLY something different.
	12:17pm Michael Shelley: The BEYOND sausages are faantastic
	12:17pm DG: Have seen Los Lobos many times over the years, from Tower Records to the Lone Star Roadhouse (the successor to the one in the Village) & they were never less than great. Didn't understand your comment, Mr. S.---were they that bad? Incredibly versatile band---saw them do a version of "Crossroads" that made you think Cream was on stage.
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: I need to make up another sauce batch, too ... today might be a good day for that ... We had some Beyond sausages at the beginning of the lockdown -- good stuff!
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, I haven't eaten anything by Lightlife in over a decade. They were what I used 20 years ago when I first gave up animal products, and over time, I found I preferred more of the newer companies that were popping up. I understand they have "modernized" their recipes though, so they may warrant a revisiting.
	12:18pm juniper: I like the aldi kale burgers.
	12:18pm BunnyKate: I love the Field Roast Apple Snausages! yum put them in your bikkies and gravy
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: They Beyond Sausages are good, but also friggin' scary!
	12:19pm clarke: JUUUUPE!!!!
	12:19pm BunnyKate: what is it exactly?
	12:19pm Handy Haversack: Agreed, Frank! I had one of the Field Roast frankfurter-style ones as the "sausage" in my vegetarian full British breakfast today.
	12:19pm LastWhiteRhino: @Michael Shelly: Will you be tuning in to the Outpostintheburbs virtual concert tonight at 7PM. Tonight Richard Barone. Thursday night's show with John Doe was great.
	12:20pm BunnyKate: great tune!
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, nice!
	12:20pm clarke: The Treasurer abides.
	12:20pm Baby: Boy. That Rose Maddox had some range.
	12:20pm Michael Shelley: Field Roast Apple Sausages & Italian ARE MY GO TO
	12:21pm Ira: "Strange as it seems, you can't treat a woman mean."
	12:21pm Frank In Queens: @Juniper, those burgers sound great! I've been vegan for so long that those sound more like what "burgers" are to me than what Beyond and Impossible offer, although, I have to acknowledge the importance of those two companies.
	12:21pm Christina Low: Beyond sausages are fantastic. I made a roasted sausage and fennel recipe from Bon Appetit mag last Christmas using them. It was dressed with a fresh orange vinaigrette and orange segments... it was delicious, and I feel like those sausages made it.
	12:22pm BunnyKate: slice thin diagonally to get the best char and serve over noodles like vietnamese bun...fresh herbs. yum!
	12:22pm common: how goes it, michael? all?
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: I like the Field Roast chipotle ones, too -- they star in many of our Mexican-inspired dishes.
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: @Michael, don't sleep on the Field Roast chipotle sausages!
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: Great minds, Handy....
	12:23pm Chop Scott: The show sounds great Michael!
	12:24pm paul: The Piano is the most boring movie ever.
	12:24pm clarke: Phantom Of The Paradise gets a lot of play in recording studios around the world.
	12:24pm Kpx: I Wonder if the dude still abides ?
	12:24pm CTEmpress: Love the loping Lowe
	12:25pm clarke: have you not been paying attention, kpx??
	12:25pm clarke: you're like a child who walks into a conversation...
	12:26pm Jett: Paul Williams wrote some pretty great stuff, not the obvious stuff, but I enjoyed some of the Holy Mackerel stuff like "Scorpio Red," and The Monkees hit, "Someday Man."
	12:26pm Kpx: I'll take that as a yes.
	12:26pm plasticguitarman: I met Paul Williams once What a nice mellow guy He told me a great story about “We’ve Only Just Begun “
	12:26pm james: not the worst movie, but always hated 'the graduate' especially since its supposed to be so great.
	12:26pm paul: Paul Williams had a great minor role in Baby Driver.
	12:27pm Ira: Though I might prefer to be caught watching porn, I will admit that I saw The Black Stallion Returns at the Hoboken Cinema, and even Juniper might have to agree that it was worse than Phantom of the Paradise (I'm a fan of that one).
	12:27pm Andy fuchs: LOVE NICK LOWE !!
	12:27pm clarke: The Graduate is in my top ten
	12:28pm Steve from Dunwoody: Seeing Paul Williams in Baby Driver had me going "Is that him? How could it be him? What is he doing here? Oh, he is great, just as before...."
	12:28pm SeanG: love that guitar solo!
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: I haven't pre-ordered the new Nick Lowe....yet. I will, but I really have to psych myself up to order Yep Roc vinyl.
	12:29pm clarke: but hell, you were AT the hoboken theater!!!
	12:29pm Kpx: Sorry Clarke, just trying to keep up.
	12:30pm james: @clark. what did you like about it?
	12:30pm clarke: truth on that frank!
	12:31pm Dean: Here's contact info for Paul Williams c/o his Gratitude and Trust site: paul@gratitudeandtrust.com
	12:31pm Sigurður: www.imdb.com...
	12:31pm clarke: funny, i was just thinking WHY: i am sentimental about how sometime one finds true love in a convoluted way. the direction, real locations and acting, all great. it captures a time, as well.
	12:33pm Ross T.: Late to the party here but I just want to say.... SHUT UP!!!! Just my tip o' the wig to the great Little Richard :)
	12:33pm clarke: also, the book The Graduate is almost word for word the screenplay - so mike nichols directed the book - with a couple of little parts he added in (the pool scene for instance was enhanced)
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: So nice!
	12:34pm paul: Happy Mother's Day, Ms. Shelley and all you mothers out th4re.
	12:35pm Jett: Durian (Jackfruit) is one of nastiest smelling things around, they don't allow eating Durian on the subways in Japan because of the smell.
	12:36pm clarke: fine fine stuff, here MS!!
	12:36pm Ross T.: And who woulda thunk Jerry Lee would indeed be the last man standing?
	12:37pm clarke: jerry lee would.
	12:37pm Frank In Queens: JLL is the youngest....
	12:38pm Ross T.: Yes but
	12:38pm Mike Sin: Another fine show today, Michael. Jackfruit is where my wife and I part company. Not for me.
	12:38pm clarke: and took the most pills
	12:39pm davefrom toronto: i can picture michael listening like the RCA Victor dog.
	12:40pm Michael Shelley: ha~ LOL
	12:41pm paul: Both JLL and Willie Nelson released albums named Last Man Standing. So we'll see.
	12:42pm clarke: sounds like some phasing issue w/mics
	12:43pm Hughie Considine: Hey, with The Piano, you had Harvey Keitel's scvantz at least...
	12:43pm common: hook is the worst film ever made. it just is.
	12:43pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: JLL has been rode the hardest and put away the wettest.
	12:44pm clarke: wait, isn't adam driver in Llewelyn Davis?? isn't he the guy in the studio going BOOOOMMMM
	12:44pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: The piano was the only film I ever fell asleep to in the theater
	12:44pm Kpx: I mean no need to be rude and disrespectful no one's infallible.
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: Hard agree on The Irishman, Juniper. Wugh. That was not good.
	12:45pm clarke: GAIN STRUCTURE!!!!!
	12:46pm clarke: The Irishman suffers from having no intermission!!
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: Jackfruit ain't for me either @MikeSin. Maybe the ladies can get together and enjoy some Jackfruit tacos while we slave over a hot stove all day making sauce.
	12:47pm paul: Throw Momma From the Train is pretty awful
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: I loved L Davis - till the last 5 minutes...
	12:47pm clarke: MUI GAIN STRUCTURE, here!!
	12:48pm Frank In Queens: Yeah, Rationals!
	12:48pm Roberto: Kim S. 4ever
	12:49pm clarke: i will admit (w/o trying to spoil) that the direction Llewelyn took was NOT, er, rational
	12:49pm Christina Low: Have not watched, but I read the book The Irishman was based on, and it was fairly fascinating in terms of politics and social mechanisms. Usually the books are better, though.
	12:49pm clarke: but, the rest of the movie is great enough to make up for that end - WHAT YOU SAY!!!
	12:50pm clarke: ZE FEET!!!
	12:50pm Hughie Considine: The cat in L Davis deserved an award.
	12:50pm davefrom toronto: you've seen "no country for old men?"
	12:51pm Joe B: great show as always!
	12:51pm JOFF: Michael! I have the answer to yr Muffs/Korla P. query! Check yr email!!!! X JOFF
	12:51pm DG: "The Graduate" is amazing, but maybe you had to be of that generation, or not far removed from it. Thanks for the Driver comment, I cannot understand the fascination with him. That Coen Bros. movie with him is just their usual gleeful nihilist take on something, this time the folk music scene, just ridiculing everything about it. While I've liked some Coen stuff (Big Lebowski, Fargo) too many of their films is just a bunch of oddball characters that are then humiliated (& killed---see "Burn After Reading") for some sort of weird masochistic thrill. Other awful movies: Robert Altman (who's made some great movies) did "Dr. T. & the Women" (awful) & "Pret-a-Porter" (alleged satire on the fashion industry, w/an all-star cast). Also: "The Love Guru" (Mike Myers disaster, with THREE late-night/political hosts in the cast!).
	12:51pm clarke: i hear that was several cats
	12:52pm clarke: yipe! the answer to my last math question was 666
	12:54pm Kpx: A@DaveFT,I did the ending of that movie was a little confusing and fell short
	12:54pm Frank In Queens: I'd rather discuss Paul Thomas...
	12:54pm clarke: Noooo!!!
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: @Frank and Mike Sinn: Yeah, we tried jackfruit a couple of times. Turns out any religion that embraces jackfruit is ... not for Handy Haversack.
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: Good points, @DG. The Coens carry on, but The Love Guru absolutely tanked Mike Myers' career. Aa movie starring a white guying doing a stereotypical Indian accent for laughs would never get green-lighted anymore. But putting all that aside, it was just that wretched...
	12:54pm davefrom toronto: chaplin's feature silent films are great.
	12:56pm Hughie Considine: The weird sadism on display in There Will Be Blood was hard to take. That climax was just so messed up.
	12:56pm egould310: Love this cover of Judy is a Punk. Thanx for a great show, Michael!
	12:56pm Sparkmouthnun: PT Anderson - "There Will Be Blood" & "Boogie Nights". Terrific!
	12:56pm Nodong Il: You're kidding about Anderson? I didn't love Phanton Thread, but it's the exception. Really? You didn't like the Pynchon adaption or the Master? You didn't like There will be blood?
	12:56pm JOFF: Which was the PT Anderson film that in particular 'broke the camel's back' i wonder?!
	12:56pm clarke: there is a difference between the most DISAPPOINTING Film and the worst movie ever.
	12:56pm Sparkmouthnun: "Punch Drunk Love" was terrible, however.
	12:57pm DG: Peter Sellers was an Indian (in "The Party") & he was funny/sympathetic (of course you couldn't do that today) so it wasn't just that....I mean, by the 10th dick joke in that movie I was ready to go (I saw a free screening, I probably never would've gone otherwise). Just a juvenile, unfunny mess. And wow, doing the Ramones as the Fabs---what a great idea. And it worked!
	12:57pm Roberto: The generational take on The Graduate is fascinating. To my generation, Ben Braddock is something of a hero, albeit in an anti-hero sort of way. My daughter watched it for the first time in film class a couple of years ago and her immediate reaction was, what a creepy loser perv!
	12:57pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the past couple of hours of right on songs! Be well all.
	12:57pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks for playing my song.
	12:57pm davefrom toronto: there will be blood was great but the ending was disappointing.
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: @DG - that was my point precisely. Horrible movie, horrible characterization, etc.
	12:58pm clarke: may i behest to go on youtube and check out Hall & Oates first tv appearance, LIVE, i think on don kirschner = out of this world great.
	12:58pm Sparkmouthnun: Juniper is right on the money (as usual) with the Hall & Oates!
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: Thanks for another great Saturday, Michael!
	12:58pm MFlynn: Michael, firing in all cylinders! Great show!!!
	12:58pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Because after all, you do make my dreams come true every Saturday, Michael.
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: I'm with you @Michael. Don't dig on PTA at all. Saw Boogie Nights in the theater and hated myself for sitting through the whole thing.
	12:58pm davefrom toronto: man that guy can sing!
	12:59pm Handy Haversack: Dang, 1 already! Thanks, Michael! And all the veggie siblings! Have a good one, all!
	12:59pm clarke: hey todd, did you get a chance to check out that 'Mats show??
	12:59pm DG: Not a big PTA fan, thought "Booogie Nights" was over-rated, but I found "Blood" really great---even seeing it on TV (IFC, I think, so possibly w/commercials but uncut). I'd also recommend his first movie, "Hard Eight," with Gwyneth P. as a hooker---she's actually good!
	1:00pm clarke: another fan-tastic voyage!!!
	1:00pm Sigurður: Thank you Mr Shelley.
	1:00pm BunnyKate: thanks michael!
	1:00pm Roberto: Boogie Nights = best movie all time 100/100. I've not been as keen on any of PTA's follow-ups.
	1:00pm Michael Shelley: THANKs ALL~!!
	1:01pm Frank In Queens: Cheers Michael!

	11:12am Einstraus: Another Saturday morning in Vancouver!! eating oatmeal and listening to Michael Shelley on WFMU!!!
	11:15am P-90: Can’t get enough of these guys. From a certain perspective, Louis Prima can be seen as the Frank Zappa of his day.
	11:15am myron feld: One of 253 different favorite Prima moments: I forget in which song, but he's scatting with Sam's sax answering, til he rips off something in Italiano, Sam stumbles with it, and Louis says, "Whassmatta, Sam, you can't play in Italian?"
	11:16am CTEmpress: Happy Saturday!

	11:24am jake6573: reason why he wears beard glasses hat, hides all the scars
	11:25am jake6573: from his face being crushed
	11:25am Grilbert: Nice save mike
	11:25am Moammar: Weird fact: The double ugly stick actually makes you three times as ugly as a single ugly stick. No one knows why.
	11:25am Jett: I always liked Hank Jr. (Bocephus) the guy is cool with me. His father is my favorite artist of all-time.
	11:25am jake6573: saw him last summer open for Skynyrd
	11:26am melinda: 'they just got out of the ugly house' haha
	11:26am CTEmpress: Just got out of the ugly house! I need a good laugh today! Thanks!
	11:26am Corey: @Handy Nice to see you too! Try not to be anywhere else on Saturday mornings if I can help it.
	11:27am jake6573: Bocephus was drunk, pissed off, acting like he did not want to be there and totally fantastic, played acoustic, electric guitar, fiddle, piano.
	11:28am clarke: howdy from new orleans
	11:28am Hughie Considine: Lots of juicy putdowns about appearance in old R&B. Thinking about "Please Pass the Biscuits Please" Look at Uncle John down thar. He's had fo' biscuits already. No wonder he got fo' chins. An' there's Aint Lucy down at the other en'. I thought she was on a diet.
	11:29am jake6573: Don't like to recommend greatest hits albums, BUT, Hank Williams Jr greatest hits vol 4, best record I own.
	11:29am clarke: and sanjay's piece!!
	11:30am Michael Shelley: Hank Sr. one of the greatest songwriters ever... top 5... ALSO Im one if the few that likes the weird fake "duet" records between Jr & Sr
	11:31am kpx: ever notice how HW illegitimate daughter looks and sounds like him. but bocephus doesn't. know what I'm saying.
	11:32am clarke: greatest hits i do NOT consider an "album" - hank jr's Hell Bent And Whiskey Bound IS a great great album!!
	11:33am jake6573: @Mike Shelley, total agree about Hank Sr.
	11:33am clarke: but, i dont care for the duets thang - i DO like biscuits!!! bis-kits.
	11:34am jake6573: @clarke, agreed.Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound ! Incredible,
	11:34am Tim 07030: If you just skim these comments you might be left with the impression that Little Richard died in a mountain climbing accident. And hi, Michael!
	11:34am vertual: Please pass the biscuits
	11:36am Frank In Queens: Spill!
	11:36am plumplop pimple: hello from egham, uk. go
	11:36am Jett: Surprised you haven't played Little Richard yet, Michael. R.I.P. A great rock n roll legend, so influenced by his hero, Esquerita.
	11:36am doctorrock: There we go! Set the record straight.
	11:37am clarke: frank - did you notice the re-date of carboro show?
	11:38am Frank In Queens: Yes, October. Ain't gonna happen though...
	11:38am plumplop pimple:
	11:38am clarke: yeah i don't think so -- BUT...
	11:38am Hughie Considine: Can't hep it...man his voice is just so outta control!
	11:38am Frank In Queens: Also, Baltimore on a Sat in Nov. If by some miracle these shows happen, I'll probably go to that one as well.
	11:38am paul: We still have Wanda Jackson
	11:39am Baja Joe: Macaroni cake
	11:39am clarke: i would definitely be interested should it happen!
	11:39am Ira: Phantom of the Paradise's Gerrit Graham: the only actor/rock writer?
	11:39am Jett: "The Girl Can't Help It" also a great film. Love it!
	11:39am Hughie Considine: Verily, @Paul
	11:40am Sigurður: @ Michael... That's a good pick
	11:40am jake6573: Did not know Little Richard passed. A talent so immense it is hard to believe. Forget where i saw it, but Love Joe Strummers remarks about him.
	11:40am clarke: got a question for ya Hughie.
	11:40am Andres: Little Richard, you're the best!
	11:40am paul: Wanda Lavonne Jackson is a retired American singer, songwriter, pianist and guitarist who had success in the mid-1950s and 1960s as one of the first popular female rockabilly singers, and a pioneering rock-and-roll artist. She is known to many as the "Queen of Rockabilly" or the "First Lady of Rockabilly". Wikipedia Born: October 20, 1937 (age 82 years), Maud, OK
	11:40am kpx: I thought he died years ago. just how old was he?
	11:40am Corey: Pretty great showcase of the man's singular talents. RIP.
	11:41am DJ Guin: "Have the Rolling Stones killed." - C. Montgomery Burns
	11:41am Baby: Sounding great Baby. From what I can hear above the weed whacked. Saw 2 bass players once too. Talking Heads. What a mess. Hi Jupe!
	11:41am paul: 87
	11:41am paul: kpx:87
	11:43am kpx: thx Paul.
	11:43am Mike & Dusty: Great show, level vibe for the people
	11:43am Jett: Funny, I played this Peggy Lee - That Man, record here at home yesterday. Total 1966 Batman tribute!
	11:44am clarke: or really this question is for the group: if the title of an album is contained in a song, but that song's title is NOT the title track, would the song be called the titular track? sounds to sexual for me??
	11:44am paul: You're welcome.
	11:45am Pedro in Arlington: Can't imagine the impact to hear new Richard coming out of a radio in the 1950s. Probably nothing can compare from the last 40 years.
	11:45am Hughie Considine: @Clarke, I prefer 'title track' -- that scenario would seem to complicate things beyond my capacity to think.
	11:45am Hughie Considine: I mean, I don't see titular as making a distinction.
	11:46am clarke: ha ha, well, a title track is when the title is the same name as the album.
	11:47am paul: agree with Clarke
	11:47am clarke: i mean "title-containing track" is weird too
	11:48am Hughie Considine: Does this happen often?
	11:48am clarke: sure!
	11:49am clarke: Tyrranosaurus Rex...a lot
	11:49am kpx: they also made a movie, The girl can't help, taken from the song title way back in the day. featuring one of those blonde bombshells,I can't remember which one.
	11:50am paul: Jayne Mansfield
	11:50am paul: She was titular.
	11:51am clarke: also, not meaning to diminish the contributions of Mr. Penniman, on iota, but he "picked" a strange time to pass away - i mean, there is just so much loss, this week, month, year. he was one of the greatest!!
	11:53am Handy Haversack: Can you now post a pic of the rigatoni pie recipe?
	11:53am clarke: in other words, his legend may be getting swept under the rug, but he was utterly deserving of better tribute.
	11:53am Hughie Considine: He picked a fine time to leave us..."LUCILLE!!"
	11:54am CTEmpress: Say yeah Homer Banks!
	11:54am clarke: still, as has been mentioned, richard stole EVERYthing from Esquirita. that said, he was fantastic!!
	11:55am kpx: oh ya, that's right. she was decapitated in a car wreck in 1967 I believe.
	11:55am Hughie Considine: Esquerita stole it from somewhere...
	11:55am clarke: another planet!!
	11:55am Hughie Considine: @KPX not decapitated. That was an enduring urban legend. No doubt it was a horrific crash.
	11:56am Sno-Time at the Apollo: This isn't a cover of Let's Spend the Night Together?
	11:56am paul: That was the rumor. Apparently, it was actually her wig that landed on the hood of the car.
	11:56am clarke: that crash happened not far from where i am at the moment
	11:56am Hughie Considine: Exactly, but you know, print the legend.
	11:56am spodiodi: looks like exogorths may be living inside that rigatoni asteroid. look at these holes! look at these holes.
	11:56am Andres: Little Richard in Down and Out in Beverly Hills was an absolute scene stealer. I haven't rewatched it since it came out but I remember the movie as great and his performance in it as even better.
	11:57am scott: She is the reason for Mansfield bars on tractror-trailers.
	11:58am clarke: also, as a kid i saw the death car displayed at a local fair in new orleans. jeez.
	11:59am Hughie Considine: She did live on because of the lurid ending, that's for sure @clarke
	12:00pm clarke: but, again, detracting from the legend of Little Richard. new orleans was DEFINITELY Richard's peak of creativity!! cosmo's factory et al
	12:01pm kpx: @hughie, come to think of it I think you're alright.maybe was just partially torn?. and is this right. with two grown children and a crop in the fields.
	12:01pm scott: Don't forget 'Kiss Them for Me' by Siouxsie and the Banshees
	12:01pm Hubig Pie: I thought I was looking at a crown roast of tamales
	12:03pm Marley P. Dogg: Great show today Michael - hope you’re well
	12:04pm clarke: also, on the subject, while LR's recording band was possibly the GREATEST band EVER assembled; however, the film i have seen from LR's regular live band were insanely great, as well. this is even before hendrix, too!
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: @kpx, you are correct - and consider this: Kenny Rogers passed away a few weeks ago, so I imagine Kenny and Little Richard are duetting on a cloud right about now, doing a cosmic mashup of their two Lucille songs...
	12:04pm Sparkmouthnun: Jayne Mansfield was Mariska Hargitay's (Law & Order) mom, FWIW...
	12:05pm kpx: I'm making typos left and right here. please try to look past them.
	12:05pm clarke: and eatin' fried chikkin!!!
	12:05pm Handy Haversack: It's clobberin' time!
	12:06pm Hughie Considine: Great track, @Scott. Surprised there aren't more musical Mansfield tributes out there...It's a ripe topic.
	12:07pm Jordon: rigatoni pie...https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/ricotta-stuffed-rigatoni-pie-with-meat-sauce-3734825 I modified from a bunch of different recipes...adding fake meat and also adding ricotta piped into the noodles...
	12:08pm clarke: JORDON!!!!!!!! HOWDY!!!
	12:08pm Jordon: Hi!
	12:09pm Pedro in Arlington: And gotta love Earl Palmer on those Cosimo recordings of Richard and then moving to LA and being the OTHER Wrecking Crew drummer.
	12:09pm clarke: you don't wanna go down to the basement!!! down to the B!!!
	12:10pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Jordon! Which fake meat did you use? We have some GimmeLean in the fridge I have to use up -- and we go through the Field Roast "sausages" at a good clip!
	12:11pm Handy Haversack: That's not a knife. It's a spoon.
	12:11pm Sparkmouthnun: Wow! Haven't heard this Lobos tune in too long! Great shtuf!
	12:13pm paul: Is Jordon Ms. Shelley?
	12:13pm Kpx: @pedro, I didn't know that. I thought howl Blain was the only drummer.
	12:14pm Jordon: Hi Handy, I think it was gardein beefless ground...but anything would probably work!
	12:14pm doctorrock: Wait what?...
	12:14pm clarke: NO kpx
	12:14pm CTEmpress: I use MorningStar crumbles for fake meat @Handy Haversack
	12:15pm Dean: Saw Los Lobos when they opened for Public Image Ltd. David Hidalgo used to bring his kids to the public library where I worked during the '90s in SoCal.
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: Gardein and Field Roast are tops!
	12:15pm clarke: there is supposedly a crisis for beef - they are going to have to euthanize thousands of cattle because there is no one working to process
	12:15pm Frank In Queens: Tofurkey products ain't half either.
	12:15pm Handy Haversack: @CTEmpress -- yes! Those were our taco night base earlier this week. Taco night is always exciting!
	12:15pm plasticguitarman: I do enjoy the fake bologna
	12:15pm Hubig Pie: I use Hamburger Helper
	12:16pm Handy Haversack: @Frank: My "sausage" and peppers is generally either the Tofurky Italian or Lite Life.
	12:16pm Jett: Fishing anyone? https://www.gif-vif.com/gifs/Fishing-is-fun-they-said/
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: Beyond makes good "beef" crumbles as well, but a bit on the pricey side.
	12:16pm Michael Shelley: True Frank. The Gardine meatballs... crumbled in red sauce... really good
	12:17pm clarke: @Frank: my sausage and peppers are TOTALLY something different.
	12:17pm Michael Shelley: The BEYOND sausages are faantastic
	12:17pm DG: Have seen Los Lobos many times over the years, from Tower Records to the Lone Star Roadhouse (the successor to the one in the Village) & they were never less than great. Didn't understand your comment, Mr. S.---were they that bad? Incredibly versatile band---saw them do a version of "Crossroads" that made you think Cream was on stage.
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: I need to make up another sauce batch, too ... today might be a good day for that ... We had some Beyond sausages at the beginning of the lockdown -- good stuff!
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, I haven't eaten anything by Lightlife in over a decade. They were what I used 20 years ago when I first gave up animal products, and over time, I found I preferred more of the newer companies that were popping up. I understand they have "modernized" their recipes though, so they may warrant a revisiting.
	12:18pm juniper: I like the aldi kale burgers.
	12:18pm BunnyKate: I love the Field Roast Apple Snausages! yum put them in your bikkies and gravy
	12:18pm Frank In Queens: They Beyond Sausages are good, but also friggin' scary!
	12:19pm clarke: JUUUUPE!!!!
	12:19pm BunnyKate: what is it exactly?
	12:19pm Handy Haversack: Agreed, Frank! I had one of the Field Roast frankfurter-style ones as the "sausage" in my vegetarian full British breakfast today.
	12:19pm LastWhiteRhino: @Michael Shelly: Will you be tuning in to the Outpostintheburbs virtual concert tonight at 7PM. Tonight Richard Barone. Thursday night's show with John Doe was great.
	12:20pm BunnyKate: great tune!
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: @Handy, nice!
	12:20pm clarke: The Treasurer abides.
	12:20pm Baby: Boy. That Rose Maddox had some range.
	12:20pm Michael Shelley: Field Roast Apple Sausages & Italian ARE MY GO TO
	12:21pm Ira: "Strange as it seems, you can't treat a woman mean."
	12:21pm Frank In Queens: @Juniper, those burgers sound great! I've been vegan for so long that those sound more like what "burgers" are to me than what Beyond and Impossible offer, although, I have to acknowledge the importance of those two companies.
	12:21pm Christina Low: Beyond sausages are fantastic. I made a roasted sausage and fennel recipe from Bon Appetit mag last Christmas using them. It was dressed with a fresh orange vinaigrette and orange segments... it was delicious, and I feel like those sausages made it.
	12:22pm BunnyKate: slice thin diagonally to get the best char and serve over noodles like vietnamese bun...fresh herbs. yum!
	12:22pm common: how goes it, michael? all?
	12:22pm Handy Haversack: I like the Field Roast chipotle ones, too -- they star in many of our Mexican-inspired dishes.
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: @Michael, don't sleep on the Field Roast chipotle sausages!
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: Great minds, Handy....
	12:23pm Chop Scott: The show sounds great Michael!
	12:24pm paul: The Piano is the most boring movie ever.
	12:24pm clarke: Phantom Of The Paradise gets a lot of play in recording studios around the world.
	12:24pm Kpx: I Wonder if the dude still abides ?
	12:24pm CTEmpress: Love the loping Lowe
	12:25pm clarke: have you not been paying attention, kpx??
	12:25pm clarke: you're like a child who walks into a conversation...
	12:26pm Jett: Paul Williams wrote some pretty great stuff, not the obvious stuff, but I enjoyed some of the Holy Mackerel stuff like "Scorpio Red," and The Monkees hit, "Someday Man."
	12:26pm Kpx: I'll take that as a yes.
	12:26pm plasticguitarman: I met Paul Williams once What a nice mellow guy He told me a great story about “We’ve Only Just Begun “
	12:26pm james: not the worst movie, but always hated 'the graduate' especially since its supposed to be so great.
	12:26pm paul: Paul Williams had a great minor role in Baby Driver.
	12:27pm Ira: Though I might prefer to be caught watching porn, I will admit that I saw The Black Stallion Returns at the Hoboken Cinema, and even Juniper might have to agree that it was worse than Phantom of the Paradise (I'm a fan of that one).
	12:27pm Andy fuchs: LOVE NICK LOWE !!
	12:27pm clarke: The Graduate is in my top ten
	12:28pm Steve from Dunwoody: Seeing Paul Williams in Baby Driver had me going "Is that him? How could it be him? What is he doing here? Oh, he is great, just as before...."
	12:28pm SeanG: love that guitar solo!
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: I haven't pre-ordered the new Nick Lowe....yet. I will, but I really have to psych myself up to order Yep Roc vinyl.
	12:29pm clarke: but hell, you were AT the hoboken theater!!!
	12:29pm Kpx: Sorry Clarke, just trying to keep up.
	12:30pm james: @clark. what did you like about it?
	12:30pm clarke: truth on that frank!
	12:31pm Dean: Here's contact info for Paul Williams c/o his Gratitude and Trust site: paul@gratitudeandtrust.com
	12:31pm Sigurður: www.imdb.com...
	12:31pm clarke: funny, i was just thinking WHY: i am sentimental about how sometime one finds true love in a convoluted way. the direction, real locations and acting, all great. it captures a time, as well.
	12:33pm Ross T.: Late to the party here but I just want to say.... SHUT UP!!!! Just my tip o' the wig to the great Little Richard :)
	12:33pm clarke: also, the book The Graduate is almost word for word the screenplay - so mike nichols directed the book - with a couple of little parts he added in (the pool scene for instance was enhanced)
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: So nice!
	12:34pm paul: Happy Mother's Day, Ms. Shelley and all you mothers out th4re.
	12:35pm Jett: Durian (Jackfruit) is one of nastiest smelling things around, they don't allow eating Durian on the subways in Japan because of the smell.
	12:36pm clarke: fine fine stuff, here MS!!
	12:36pm Ross T.: And who woulda thunk Jerry Lee would indeed be the last man standing?
	12:37pm clarke: jerry lee would.
	12:37pm Frank In Queens: JLL is the youngest....
	12:38pm Ross T.: Yes but
	12:38pm Mike Sin: Another fine show today, Michael. Jackfruit is where my wife and I part company. Not for me.
	12:38pm clarke: and took the most pills
	12:39pm davefrom toronto: i can picture michael listening like the RCA Victor dog.
	12:40pm Michael Shelley: ha~ LOL
	12:41pm paul: Both JLL and Willie Nelson released albums named Last Man Standing. So we'll see.
	12:42pm clarke: sounds like some phasing issue w/mics
	12:43pm Hughie Considine: Hey, with The Piano, you had Harvey Keitel's scvantz at least...
	12:43pm common: hook is the worst film ever made. it just is.
	12:43pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: JLL has been rode the hardest and put away the wettest.
	12:44pm clarke: wait, isn't adam driver in Llewelyn Davis?? isn't he the guy in the studio going BOOOOMMMM
	12:44pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: The piano was the only film I ever fell asleep to in the theater
	12:44pm Kpx: I mean no need to be rude and disrespectful no one's infallible.
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: Hard agree on The Irishman, Juniper. Wugh. That was not good.
	12:45pm clarke: GAIN STRUCTURE!!!!!
	12:46pm clarke: The Irishman suffers from having no intermission!!
	12:47pm Frank In Queens: Jackfruit ain't for me either @MikeSin. Maybe the ladies can get together and enjoy some Jackfruit tacos while we slave over a hot stove all day making sauce.
	12:47pm paul: Throw Momma From the Train is pretty awful
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: I loved L Davis - till the last 5 minutes...
	12:47pm clarke: MUI GAIN STRUCTURE, here!!
	12:48pm Frank In Queens: Yeah, Rationals!
	12:48pm Roberto: Kim S. 4ever
	12:49pm clarke: i will admit (w/o trying to spoil) that the direction Llewelyn took was NOT, er, rational
	12:49pm Christina Low: Have not watched, but I read the book The Irishman was based on, and it was fairly fascinating in terms of politics and social mechanisms. Usually the books are better, though.
	12:49pm clarke: but, the rest of the movie is great enough to make up for that end - WHAT YOU SAY!!!
	12:50pm clarke: ZE FEET!!!
	12:50pm Hughie Considine: The cat in L Davis deserved an award.
	12:50pm davefrom toronto: you've seen "no country for old men?"
	12:51pm Joe B: great show as always!
	12:51pm JOFF: Michael! I have the answer to yr Muffs/Korla P. query! Check yr email!!!! X JOFF
	12:51pm DG: "The Graduate" is amazing, but maybe you had to be of that generation, or not far removed from it. Thanks for the Driver comment, I cannot understand the fascination with him. That Coen Bros. movie with him is just their usual gleeful nihilist take on something, this time the folk music scene, just ridiculing everything about it. While I've liked some Coen stuff (Big Lebowski, Fargo) too many of their films is just a bunch of oddball characters that are then humiliated (& killed---see "Burn After Reading") for some sort of weird masochistic thrill. Other awful movies: Robert Altman (who's made some great movies) did "Dr. T. & the Women" (awful) & "Pret-a-Porter" (alleged satire on the fashion industry, w/an all-star cast). Also: "The Love Guru" (Mike Myers disaster, with THREE late-night/political hosts in the cast!).
	12:51pm clarke: i hear that was several cats
	12:52pm clarke: yipe! the answer to my last math question was 666
	12:54pm Kpx: A@DaveFT,I did the ending of that movie was a little confusing and fell short
	12:54pm Frank In Queens: I'd rather discuss Paul Thomas...
	12:54pm clarke: Noooo!!!
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: @Frank and Mike Sinn: Yeah, we tried jackfruit a couple of times. Turns out any religion that embraces jackfruit is ... not for Handy Haversack.
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: Good points, @DG. The Coens carry on, but The Love Guru absolutely tanked Mike Myers' career. Aa movie starring a white guying doing a stereotypical Indian accent for laughs would never get green-lighted anymore. But putting all that aside, it was just that wretched...
	12:54pm davefrom toronto: chaplin's feature silent films are great.
	12:56pm Hughie Considine: The weird sadism on display in There Will Be Blood was hard to take. That climax was just so messed up.
	12:56pm egould310: Love this cover of Judy is a Punk. Thanx for a great show, Michael!
	12:56pm Sparkmouthnun: PT Anderson - "There Will Be Blood" & "Boogie Nights". Terrific!
	12:56pm Nodong Il: You're kidding about Anderson? I didn't love Phanton Thread, but it's the exception. Really? You didn't like the Pynchon adaption or the Master? You didn't like There will be blood?
	12:56pm JOFF: Which was the PT Anderson film that in particular 'broke the camel's back' i wonder?!
	12:56pm clarke: there is a difference between the most DISAPPOINTING Film and the worst movie ever.
	12:56pm Sparkmouthnun: "Punch Drunk Love" was terrible, however.
	12:57pm DG: Peter Sellers was an Indian (in "The Party") & he was funny/sympathetic (of course you couldn't do that today) so it wasn't just that....I mean, by the 10th dick joke in that movie I was ready to go (I saw a free screening, I probably never would've gone otherwise). Just a juvenile, unfunny mess. And wow, doing the Ramones as the Fabs---what a great idea. And it worked!
	12:57pm Roberto: The generational take on The Graduate is fascinating. To my generation, Ben Braddock is something of a hero, albeit in an anti-hero sort of way. My daughter watched it for the first time in film class a couple of years ago and her immediate reaction was, what a creepy loser perv!
	12:57pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the past couple of hours of right on songs! Be well all.
	12:57pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks for playing my song.
	12:57pm davefrom toronto: there will be blood was great but the ending was disappointing.
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: @DG - that was my point precisely. Horrible movie, horrible characterization, etc.
	12:58pm clarke: may i behest to go on youtube and check out Hall & Oates first tv appearance, LIVE, i think on don kirschner = out of this world great.
	12:58pm Sparkmouthnun: Juniper is right on the money (as usual) with the Hall & Oates!
	12:58pm Hughie Considine: Thanks for another great Saturday, Michael!
	12:58pm MFlynn: Michael, firing in all cylinders! Great show!!!
	12:58pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Because after all, you do make my dreams come true every Saturday, Michael.
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: I'm with you @Michael. Don't dig on PTA at all. Saw Boogie Nights in the theater and hated myself for sitting through the whole thing.
	12:58pm davefrom toronto: man that guy can sing!
	12:59pm Handy Haversack: Dang, 1 already! Thanks, Michael! And all the veggie siblings! Have a good one, all!
	12:59pm clarke: hey todd, did you get a chance to check out that 'Mats show??
	12:59pm DG: Not a big PTA fan, thought "Booogie Nights" was over-rated, but I found "Blood" really great---even seeing it on TV (IFC, I think, so possibly w/commercials but uncut). I'd also recommend his first movie, "Hard Eight," with Gwyneth P. as a hooker---she's actually good!
	1:00pm clarke: another fan-tastic voyage!!!
	1:00pm Sigurður: Thank you Mr Shelley.
	1:00pm BunnyKate: thanks michael!
	1:00pm Roberto: Boogie Nights = best movie all time 100/100. I've not been as keen on any of PTA's follow-ups.
	1:00pm Michael Shelley: THANKs ALL~!!
	1:01pm Frank In Queens: Cheers Michael!
