1:37pm Papito:

Rosemary, Orlanda and Perry are definitely innocent of all crimes and charges! I'll be waiting their release, sitting in my cherry red Mustang at the prison exit gates!

1:38pm Rex:

Yeah...lotsa of graduate-level Cajun patois!

1:45pm spodiodi:

for the life of me, i cant figure out what he's saying about midnight (~1:00-1:10)

back from Italian deli with a parsley cheese sausage wheel

1:47pm kyle a.:

KDoe! I’m cocky but I’m good.

🌮

1:54pm Hubig Pie:

Burn K-doe, burn

1:57pm Handy Haversack:

Fool's Paradise was already providing an excellent soundtrack to the extremely awkward mourning dove courting going on back here, but this tune is a capper!

1:59pm lukavino:

my dear uncle/godfather still lives in Harvey, IL. can’t speak to the bbq joint, though.

2:13pm Marley P. Dogg:

I thought they were singing napalm in the beginning of this song for a second

🌮

2:16pm Hubig Pie:

I used to get flyers from a local grocery - 10 lbs of neck bones, 5 lbs of pickle meat, 5 lbs hot sausage, 5 lbs pork steaks and you get a free case of Milwaukee's Best

2:20pm spodiodi:

pickle meat ftw

🌮

2:21pm Hackensack Slim:

The Thrillers have kind of an uptempo melody to the refrain considering the subject matter.

🌮

2:21pm Hubig Pie:

Spodiodi, it flavors your red beans

2:23pm spodiodi:

i love red beans, dirty rice, and pickles too, Hubig (and pie)

2:23pm The Butterman:

Love that Pink Pussycat wine spot. Haven’t heard that in years!

2:23pm spodiodi:

well, i love all beans

2:23pm spodiodi:

all food*

2:24pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Getting thirsty over here. Going to go stir up a refreshing glass of Tang before No Brow comes in and helps himself. One hour to blast off!

2:24pm Sweet Corn Lizzie:

I didn't miss Ity Bitsy Spider, did I??

2:25pm Pedro in Arlington:

Listening from the upper deck of luxurious Shea. Good view of the Fair but the Mets are getting blanked by a very sharp Gaylord Perry. Not sure who's starting the nightcap.

2:25pm Gaylord Fields:

I once had a conversation with John Fogerty where we chatted at length, to our mutual delight, about this particular version of "Stormy Weather"!

2:25pm spodiodi:

Sweet Corn Lizzie, no, but you missed Humpty Dumpty :|

2:26pm Handy Haversack:

I think the show's working, Rex. The dog is trying to yawn but is actually too lazy right now to get it done.

2:27pm Smilty69:

No alcoholic daze for me, Rex!

2:27pm spodiodi:

hazy shade of 710 here

2:28pm Gaylord Fields:

@Pedro in Arlington: I just checked, and Craig Swan will be pitching the second game.

2:30pm Rex:

John Stearns "The Dude" will be behind the plate!

2:32pm Choggie:

Rex I was listening to one of your archived shows and I took your advice and watched Harold Lloyd Juniors flaming urge it did not disappoint

2:33pm Mister Dobalina:

You've hit on the head, Rex!

2:34pm Gaylord Fields:

@Rex: Joe Pignatano is fertilizing the vegetable garden today, so those sitting downwind of the Mets bullpen are forewarned.

2:34pm David in London:

Gaylord, what was Fogerty like in person? I saw him live here in London a couple of years ago, doing the CCR songbook, and it was an absolute awesome show. And thanks for the 1971 and 1972 show links you gave me a couple of weeks back, outstanding shows both.

2:35pm Rex:

Choggie - We're here at WFMU to make sure you make the best entertainment choices possible...

2:38pm spodiodi:

great The Crestones track

2:38pm Gaylord Fields:

@David: This was during a phone interview at my former day job, and we spent more time talking about cool old R&B 45, including the Leaders' greatest moment, than whatever project he was plugging. It was like hanging out with an old friend. Top three people, when it comes to personability, that I ever interviewed.

2:38pm Papito:

Dedicated to Suzy Hotrod!

2:38pm spodiodi:

women on motorcycles <3

2:38pm Choggie:

And to think that there was a time in Hollywood history where being homosexual was it as bad as being a communist

🌮

2:39pm Motobro:

She a baaadddd motorcycle !!!

REXSTER/ Motobro loves them MOTO tunes

2:39pm spodiodi:

cheers, motobro

2:40pm spodiodi:

weather is getting nice... i need to fix my fork seals, and escape this prison

🌮

2:41pm Motobro:

Hello Spodiodi,

2:42pm Handy Haversack:

Moto! Fancy meeting you here!

🌮

2:43pm Motobro:

Handy !!

2:43pm Mister Dobalina:

We got a M o M M a! Finally!!!!!!

2:44pm davefromtoronto:

did he say "whole lotta poontang???"

2:44pm David in London:

Gaylord. That’s excellent news. It’s always nice when musicians you admire turn out to be decent people to boot.

Hey Motobro.

🌮

2:44pm Motobro:

Spode, get them sells selaed and go ride that thang

2:45pm Sylvia's Mother:

Whoa! This is RACY!

🌮

2:45pm Motobro:

DAVE !!

2:46pm Andres:

I'm hip to these here The Vandals!

2:46pm davefromtoronto:

Motobro!!!

🌮

2:47pm Hackensack Slim:

Who says lunkhead rock can't be lyrically profound? Good job Vandals.

2:47pm Pedro in Arlington:

Downpour and there's trouble with the tarp. Westrum and Doug Harvey really getting into it. Maybe because the mound is a mess and they still have a second game to play.

2:48pm spodiodi:

i think i'll order them today, motobro. i've only been out for essential errands across town and back since late fall

2:48pm Gaylord Fields:

@David: They aren't always, I don't think I need to tell you! But what's equally rewarding is when ones you don't admire are good guys, like James Taylor. Similar to my experience with Fogerty, we talked more about baseball than his snoozy songs.

🌮

2:48pm Motobro:

Dave From T !!

2:48pm spodiodi:

MOPAR = mostly old parts and rust!
my money is on the Chevys

2:49pm Mister Dobalina:

Don't forget to watch the rocket launch soon.

2:50pm spodiodi:

i'll probably forget

2:50pm Sweet Corn Lizzie:

Yakity Sax-ish riff in the background, nice

🌮

2:50pm Motobro:

Mopars are cool, Fords are fun, but Chevys rule.

2:50pm Gaylord Fields:

@Pedro in Arlington: At least we get to hear Jane Jarvis play "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head"!

2:50pm Mister Dobalina:

bit.ly...

2:51pm Sweet Corn Lizzie:

Dave I heard "whole lotta poontang" too. It does rhyme with Mustang.

🌮

2:51pm Mailman Tom:

Bullseye!

2:51pm radioronan:

Another fine Sat program, Rex..thank you for bringing it to our ears all these years..until next time...sporks..

2:52pm listener 126464:

what happened to the chevy?

2:52pm Gaylord Fields:

@Sweet Corn Lizzie: It's a song with a message, and that message is "always carry a portable toothbrush."

🌮

2:53pm Motobro:

Spodi, get out on the bike and get some fresh air. The quarantine thing is getting old.

🌮

2:53pm Hackensack Slim:

@Sweet Corn Which was followed by "Her name was Lisa, What a Piece a" That's Poetry.

2:54pm Lisboner Pasc:

Great show! Greetings from Portugal :-)

2:55pm listener 126464:

Thank you Rex and everyone at world headquarters.

2:55pm David in London:

Gaylord. I once interviewed a musician, how shall we say, who was filed under the ‘now a cult, but never achieved as much in their day as they should have’ and he was such a taciturn and monosyllabic bugger that I’d couldn’t help but think “Hmmm, maybe there’s at least a partial explanation of that lack of success here”....

2:55pm Handy Haversack:

Thanks, Rex! Thanks Skeleton Ruth!

2:56pm Gaylord Fields:

@David: I appreciate your sense of propriety.

2:56pm Rex:

Thanks for tuning in everyone! And thanks as always to Ruth back at WFMU Master Control for beaming this glorious mess into deep space!

2:56pm spodiodi:

thanks, Rex!
goodbye, Spaceman

2:57pm Papito:

Take your mask off..you ain't the Lone Ranger!

2:57pm spodiodi:

thanks, Ruth!
