	👻 9:02am Marley P. Dogg: Morning Joe McG! Morning yippers!
	9:02am Strandlund: Yip Yip Yip...Boing Boing Boing!
	9:02am pantz: I always wondered who performed the songs on the "ray-dee-ooo" the Yips are listening to. It's very 60's stuff but I wonder if the Sesame Street gang composed them.
	9:03am deborah: Radio Radio!!
	👻 9:03am YETI BOB: ԀI⅄ ԀI⅄
	9:03am deborah: @pantz: I hear shades of the fabulous Ren and Stimpy..."Happy, happy....."
	👻 9:03am 12539: Boing!
	9:06am The Oscar: Well this is nice.
	9:06am pantz: @deborah definitely John K stole that for Ren's Burl Ives rip off
	👻 9:07am YETI BOB: I used to listen to Camper Van Beethoven all the time (it was this station that turned me on to them in the 80s). Haven't thought about them in a long time. Greg Lisher always was good on the guitar in that band. I want to hear more of his solo album!
	9:10am Joe McG: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the show. Soft start today, will get raucous.
	9:12am Malcolm: good morning all
	9:12am WoodsOfNH: Joe McG So you're saying you're gonna play some Foghat?
	9:12am deborah: @pantz: Ren and Stimpy is being revived/revamped for Comedy Central. I can hardly wait!
	9:12am Creature Boy: Studies show that 99% of all Creature Boys are GONE like REAL GONE
	9:13am Terr in DE: Good morning Joe and everyone
	9:13am Creature Boy: That IS good news Deborah
	👻 9:13am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Rain stopped, sun out. Somehow tied in with the start of your show!
	9:13am pantz: @Joe McG might be a bit too early for raucous. Can we stick to rambunctious until the coffee kicks in? @deborah me neither! Is that with John K?
	9:14am joe mulligan: nice ease into the week Joe!
	9:15am melinda: morning everyone!
	9:15am deborah: No. John K was accused of nefarious doings and was removed from the creative team, I heard.
	9:16am TDK60: Morning Joe. (Didn't see that the Fairport Convention video this past weekend was not from 2020, but footage from the 2019 fest. Still great.)
	9:16am Creature Boy: Oh wow , I'm not familiar w this Zombie parallel thingamajig
	9:17am pantz: @deborah I see
	9:17am Joe McG: @joem: Thanks! @TDK60: I forgot to watch! :(
	9:17am Handy Haversack: If Rod and Chris wanted to go properly heraldic (and I feel like they would), they could go with Argent and Ermine.
	9:17am Creature Boy: Amazing!
	9:17am Really Lisa: Pretty tune. Hi all.
	👻 9:19am Brian in UK: Hey TDK60, are you referring to this? www.youtube.com...
	9:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh Argent & White '68 ...was gonna say can so see 'Odessey & Oracle' from there...
	👻 9:20am Brian in UK: This HP kind of reminds me of David Poe.
	9:21am Krys O.: Greetings!
	9:21am TDK60: Morning Brian. Yes, that was it. Did you see it?
	👻 9:22am Brian in UK: TDK60, did not have four hours spare, might dip in later.
	9:23am Pixburgh: Is this what the kids call Vaporwave?
	9:24am Joe McG: @Pixburgh: Vape wave.
	9:25am TDK60: Brian, it was very good. There was a short clip at the start of an F.C. staffer walking round the field, saying "This is where the stage usually is, this is where the bar usually is," etc.
	👻 9:28am YETI BOB: If it quacks like a Duck Baker ...
	9:29am Joe McG: I haven't done a side-by-side until now, but it sounds to me like "Pecan Rock" and "Plymouth Rock" are essentially the same tune!
	9:29am Pixburgh: Vapor Duck.
	9:31am anon: good morning, and thanks to all for the tunes. pecan or plymouth? it's all good
	9:32am PKNY: @Joe - got my swag in the mail the other day, looking forward to giving Pan-Demonium multiple listens!
	👻 9:33am YETI BOB: @Joe: Clearly so. And on his website: " Pecan Rock (aka Plymouth Rock)" - straight out of the Ducks' mouth. duckbaker.com...
	9:33am anon: twice as nice
	9:33am pantz: Pee-Can or Puh-Can. Plim-uth or Plum-Uth
	👻 9:37am YETI BOB: Looking at Duck B's discography ... now I really want to hear "Duck Baker Plays Monk"
	9:38am PaulRobeson1920: Rod Argent, yay!
	9:38am Marc Francis: He still is! I saw Camper van Beethoven at their final "Camp-out" festival at Pappy & Harriets last summer.
	9:38am nematomorpha: Hello from rainy, grey Vienna! Had one of these really bad school days dreams last night... music is the healing force! Great set so far.
	9:39am Colleen: Instant happiness!! Thanks Joe!!
	9:39am The Oscar: THURL!!!
	9:39am joe mulligan: this was the theme song from "Skull Time for Kids" on KFJC.
	👻 9:39am YETI BOB: @nemato: Servus!
	9:40am pantz: Oooh. Pirate of The Caribbean ride on shrooms is one of my fondest memories.
	9:40am Krys O.: Unmistakably Thurl.
	9:40am Hubig Pie: Sounds like William S. Burroughs
	9:40am Timbk: Hi, I'm actor Troy McClure!
	👻 9:40am Webhamster Henry: I hope we get to Tomorrowland.
	9:41am melinda: it's puh khan
	👻 9:41am YETI BOB: @Hubig: Register is too low for Uncle Bill
	9:41am The Oscar: @Hubig I would ABSOLUTELY pay money to hear Thurl Ravenscroft read Naked Lunch.
	👻 9:42am Webhamster Henry: @The Oscar never put anything past 21st century AI audio resynthesis.
	9:42am Joe McG: People never like the way Pennsylvanians say "pecan."
	👻 9:43am YETI BOB: melinda got it right
	9:43am Krys O.: @Melinda: There are four regionally based pronunciations of pecan. www.farmflavor.com...
	9:44am bmpwb: "dead men tell no tails"
	9:44am bmpwb: or tales lol
	9:45am northguineahills: If we're in a time warp, can we get to MJ's Captain EO?
	9:45am Hubig Pie: Me mum's from Mississippi and she hates when I say pee-can
	9:46am Joe McG: I asked for pecan pie in Georgia once and got a funny look.
	9:46am Roger Roger: Jollity!
	9:46am bmpwb: My from from south she says Pecahn not PeCAN
	👻 9:46am YETI BOB: @JoeMcG: Is this what you meant by "raucous" ?? hahaha
	9:47am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe, that was great!! It was like you took us to Disneyland! The best part anyway :D
	9:47am Joe McG: @YB: Workin' on it! :)
	9:47am bnowb: my typing is oh boy ... I meant to say my mom is from south
	9:47am WoodsOfNH: I had a piece of pecan pie at Stuckey's in South Carolina when I was 8. I did not like it.
	9:47am Handy Haversack: Turkish Song -- of the Damned! Yeah!
	9:48am Stevel: Now we’re talking, if perhaps through rotting teeth!
	9:48am Jack: Pecan? or... languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu...
	9:48am anon: Hubig! peh cons and prah leens 4 all
	9:48am Matt Fiveash: This show should be rated arrrrh!
	9:48am bnowb: My grandparents had big pecan trees in the yard. It was a big deal and we ate far too many pecan dishes.
	9:49am Handy Haversack: (According to legend, someone was trying to ask Shane if he'd heard a Damned song, "The Turkish Song," and this was was what resulted.)
	9:49am Handy Haversack: Shake your booty, Matt 5ash!
	9:49am Joe McG: @Matt: Ha ha ha!
	👻 9:49am Webhamster Henry: Joe McG will have to recap this on Sept 19th "Talk Like A Pirate Day"
	9:50am Handy Haversack: At the end here is where, live, the band would go NUTS.
	9:50am nematomorpha: there's this really funny interview with shane, mark e smith and nick cave: thequietus.com...
	9:50am bnowb: I love Shane.. I dont know there was just a genius in there. Amazing song writer, good lord!
	9:51am Hubig Pie: Stuckey's used to give a free pecan roll with a gas fill-up
	9:51am Joe McG: @nema: Must read! After seeing the doc, I walked around imitating his laugh for a week.
	9:51am Handy Haversack: Thanks, nema!
	👻 9:51am YETI BOB: @Handy: How was the weekend? Any boaty adventures? (I didn't do much myself ... pretty lazy weekend)
	9:52am northguineahills: Apparently, I adjust my accent depending where I am. My first few days back down South, I'm told I have a Yankee accent. First few in NYC, I'm told I have a Southern accent....
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov637: Mostly only read about the Mimi & Richard albums!
	9:53am Bill D: Tompkins Square Records and Joe M perfect for a Monday morning.
	9:53am Terr in DE: if Adam Ant didn't cover this, he should have
	9:54am TDK60: Revrab: That's almost tragic; the first two LPs are seminal folk-rock. (Fariñas)
	👻 9:55am YETI BOB: @northguineahills: I've spent decades in New Jersey, Boston and Chicago - nobody can tell where I'm from now - they just know "not from around here". (Plus I think my dad taught us some idiosyncratic things, like not to emphasize the PEE in pecan.)
	👻 9:56am Webhamster Henry: I'm from West Hartford, home of Noah Webster, so I pretend my accent is the USA's received pronunciation.
	9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Adam & I both 3rd Nov. babies ...but he shares the actual day in 1954 with Godzilla... & he got Hendrix's hussar jacket ! How does this guy rate ?!? : D
	9:56am Malcolm: pirate radio
	9:57am Handy Haversack: Yeti, we had an abbreviated trip Friday afternoon -- wanted river breeze, but there was more of it than was safe! So we stayed on the Creek, which, well, low tide after a couple of days of rain was pretty stinky. Decided not to repeat the experience on Sat. with the wind undiminished! So I just repaired the yard and outside from weeks of heat-induced neglect on Sat. Sundays have been gaming days all through the pandemic, so I played D&D with friends 12-6. Now finally enjoying some human-tolerable weather out here. Finally doesn't feel actively hostile!
	9:58am sydnius: Class?
	9:59am anon: as a child stuck in the back seat of the car on 4 hour trips on weekends the allure of Stuckey's seemed overwhelming yet my parents never stopped there. As a teen with friend's parents I finally experienced Stuckey's. Disappointment ensued.
	10:00am Joe McG: You guys are being so good today, not one Bob Dylan diss! I guess Richard Farina took care of it for everyone. :)
	10:00am βrian: It's been three-syllable gorgeous here on the isthmus! Soft breezes, whispy clouds, soughing of leaves. Really dreamy.
	10:00am Creature Boy: I'm almost convinced that the new Dylan material is influenced by Adam Sandler's music
	10:00am northguineahills: @Yeti Bob: It doesn't help that I invent my own slang, and adopt slang from multiple languages....
	10:00am Rick A.: It's probably too late. However, there is "Kid's Pirate Ship" by San Francisco Seals, a lovely song. The Ravenscroft piece brought back memories of many rides on Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
	10:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we got FreeForm Paddle Pirates here...
	10:01am Tim 07030: ...as we sail off the edge of the world. Good morning Joe!
	👻 10:01am YETI BOB: JoeMcG: This new Dylan album is GREAT. I don't care what anyone says. The minimal, droney sound of the band ... and the ragged majesty of Dylan's voice ... really works for me. (Good job Tony Garnier)
	10:02am βrian: Oh, I thought he was trying to pull off a Leonard Cohen effect.
	10:02am Joe McG: Do you think Bob plays any shuffleboard down there in Key West?
	👻 10:02am Brian in UK: Take me to the Dry Tortugas.
	10:02am Handy Haversack: I had been about to say that I sometimes find the new Dylan Tortuga to listen to ...
	10:02am sydnius: Bocce
	10:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Friggin' in the Rigging by the piStOLs or something like them...
	👻 10:03am YETI BOB: better than anything Bob has done in decades, IMO
	10:03am Joe McG: Bob doesn't even TRY to hide that he has a lot of phlegm in his throat.
	10:03am VincentNifigance: Just got it this week. Really great album.
	10:04am βrian: Ragged Majesty was Doug's first band in High School.
	10:04am Creature Boy: C'mon, u can hear in your mind's ear Sandler singing "i contain multitudes" ADMIT IT
	10:05am G: Bob to the engineer: "Phlegm adds character."
	👻 10:05am Brian in UK: Jimmy Buffett's A Pirate Looks at Forty, next?
	10:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Been observed that in the day everybody wanted The Answer from Dylan - & later he started to give his answers & people cared less...
	10:05am Joe McG: In 10 years, this will be on a commercial for Florida tourism.
	10:05am βrian: Too many pommes frites will make a guy phlegmish.
	👻 10:06am YETI BOB: @JoeMcG: That's one long commercial spot!
	10:06am TDK60: An old gem... (P.H.)
	10:06am Creature Boy: He's reinventing yacht rock and 7 other genres all at once
	10:06am Ike: No, Bob, don't bother trying to pick up that pirate radio signal. It's just conspiracy theory talk in Haitian Creole over Skype, nothing interesting!
	10:06am βrian: Yes, but that will be sub-marine tourism.
	10:06am Krys O.: Turning it up for Procol Harum!
	10:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had the 45 of Salty Dog around the house in my toddlerhood - same on both sides !
	👻 10:08am Brian in UK: The signature tune to Captain Pugwash cartoons springs to mind.
	10:08am Bill D: Salty Dog one of the best seafaring songs ever!
	10:08am Joe McG: I know this isn't really a pirate song, but I wanted to hear it, and it's sea-related, anyhow.
	10:09am melinda: @Ike haha
	10:09am Beast of Boonton: International Talk Like a Pirate Day is September 19, 2020
	10:10am Joe McG: Is Sept 19th a Monday?
	👻 10:10am Brian in UK: Joe, this reminds me (a little) of David Ackles' Ballad of the Ship of State.
	10:10am pantz: I just need some Christopher Cross to wind this set up!
	10:10am βrian: The soundtrack to Jonathan Livingston Seagull is sea-related.
	👻 10:11am Brian in UK: Saturday.
	👻 10:11am YETI BOB: @Brian: You mean SatARRRday.
	10:12am Joe McG: Oh well! I guess Michael and Todd will talk like pirates during their shows.
	10:13am Tim 07030: Eno/Cale have a piratey song, those scalawags
	10:13am Creature Boy: There's a great piratey mutinee song on this Stiff Records Akron Ohio Comp from the 70s . can't remember any of the "deets". Devo country was rich w great GREAT music . what the hell was happening w all those bands , that SCENE in Akron back then?!
	10:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Radio Silence by Thomas Dolby about Pirate Radio ??...
	10:14am Krys O.: Ooh, love that Thomas Dolby song.
	10:14am TDK60: Creature, maybe it was living in a city dedicated to rubber?
	👻 10:14am Brian in UK: YETI BOB, that I do, where's Roger the cabin boy.
	10:14am Tim 07030: First time in message board history the word 'piratey' used in successive posts.
	👻 10:14am YETI BOB: @Creature Boy: I think everyone was high on rubber fumes.
	10:15am βrian: Don't roger the cabin boy!
	10:15am Creature Boy: Yes Perhaps tdk & YETI meanwhile Johnny Kidd
	10:16am Creature Boy: Haha tim
	10:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Every sperm whale is sacred if a sperm whale is wasted Gawd gets quite pi-rate...
	10:17am PaulRobeson1920: Bob’s playing all the Shuffleboard! Bob Dylans on top of the game right now!
	10:18am Jeannine from Weehawken: anyone know the music in the background behind Joe right now?
	10:18am βrian: RRabit: "Oof!"
	10:18am northguineahills: @Joe McG: The Conch Republic would love to use it!
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: !"You got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend."
	10:19am javakid: @Jeannine sounds like an instrumental of a Hot Chocolate track. But this is a very uninformed guess. I do like it too.
	👻 10:20am YETI BOB: Always wondered who (if anyone) was the real life inspiration behind "+4thSt", maybe the ultimate diss song.
	10:20am johnk77: great set salty dog required listening w/teenage stoner set of my 60s ne ohio youth @yeti tony garnier super guy offstage also in the 70s he was a big fan of bill kirchen's moonliters
	10:20am Jeannine from Weehawken: thanks @ javakid!
	10:21am Brendan: Piratey songs, see also: The Wreckers loosely based on Daphne du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn. Don’t make me walk the plank – it’s a Rush song.
	10:21am Creature Boy: Nice tidbits of trivia on the 4th street og Feud !
	10:22am Joe McG: @Brendan: I saw the movie of "Jamaica Inn"!
	10:23am Creature Boy: I went back to bed b4 hearing "the modfather" on todd0's show . prolly hit the archives idk
	10:23am TVP: Weather's so nice, I have the AC off and windows open at my makeshift home office next to my bed for the first time in months.
	10:23am Joe McG: @Jeannine: It's a slowed down version of Exile's "Kiss You All Over." :)
	10:24am bnowb: feels like "summer just passed by"
	10:25am Jeannine from Weehawken: thank you Joe!! every week i look forward to Mondays, but 9am - noon only.
	10:25am WHAT are they saying?: I don't know if it's just me but that chorus sounds a little iffy.
	10:25am Creature Boy: "...If you won't crawl out your window"
	10:26am WoodsOfNH: There's also Ween's "The Blarney Stone." The only Ween song I like.
	10:26am Joe McG: I like Weller a lot. Even interviews I read from back in the day, he just sounds like a real no-bullshit kind of guy. He got a lot of flak for being some kind of snob, but I think he just hates nonsense. (Smart move to get into the music industry!)
	10:26am johnk77: nicest weather day in nyc since june must now fix flat to ride bike
	10:27am bnowb: Bmx saves lives if you can out live a few crashes lol
	10:27am miniteeny: The Cappuccino Kid
	10:29am Itzall Hear: Good morning Joe, good morning everyone who values pretty decent radio programming...
	👻 10:29am YETI BOB: @johnk77: you probably know this but Tony Garnier has been working with Steve Gunn recently
	👻 10:31am Brian in UK: Single File on time. Is this a record?
	10:31am Joe McG: @Brian: It may be! I hardly ever start on time!
	10:31am johnk77: just learned tony garnier's grandfather taught louis armstrong @yeti thanks i did not know that
	10:32am Creature Boy: He really hates Mr clean
	10:32am Creature Boy: I mean he just can't stand em
	10:33am Joe McG: Mr Clean is just trying to get the kitchen spotless. And he has a bald head.
	10:33am Creature Boy: Ha
	10:34am TDK60: I think it's the same record basically as the album, but it sounds like they changed "f**k up your life" to a safer verb.
	10:35am Joe McG: @TDK: Clean Edit.
	10:36am bnowb: hard to hear that song dropping the F bomb
	10:39am Creature Boy: Uh oh , looks like Harlan just pulled into the leas
	10:39am Creature Boy: LEAD!*
	👻 10:39am Brian in UK: Is this a kind of Harper Valley take.
	10:39am zivilars: Thanks for the show, Joe, enjoying it while working! Have a great day everybody!
	10:40am McGroovey: Ooh, that Harlan Howard song was a great burn.
	10:41am Joe McG: Thanks for saying howdy, zivilars!
	10:42am Creature Boy: More of a Sunday Morning Comin Down take, really. I think Harper Valley was a bit of an Ode to Billy Joe rip off actually & then there's Bob's own Clothes Line Saga
	10:45am northguineahills: (the conch republic is a tongue-in cheek reference to Key West as a micronation [if only, I'd move there already])
	10:45am Matt Fiveash: I still maintain that if I were able to time travel and assassinate any two historical figures before they could do any damage, I would choose Friend and Lover
	10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If you think about it - even though being Mod in the late 1970s seemed affected (not to say Sound Affected) - The Jam were also about not worshipping Punk tropes shamelessly... though in the Todd interview he said he has only positive regard for the Clash & pIStOLs...
	10:46am Creature Boy: Haha
	10:46am Joe McG: @Matt: You don't like "The Rockford Files" theme, Matt?
	10:46am morphe': Speaking of 45s....NPR /wnyc played Japanese Surf the other day????? For after the 2 Joes.. Takeshi Terauchi & His Blue Jeans - Rassemon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPWQ8w0doNs
	10:46am Joe McG: OOPS, wrong Post!
	10:46am Matt Fiveash: Phew! You had me worried.
	10:47am Matt Fiveash: If it was Mike Post, then they would've had to send you back in time to stop me from killing him!
	10:47am northguineahills: @Matt: if you kill Friend and Lover, you break the a time traveling rule akin to the "Not Killing Hitler Rule" The side effects would be almost as devastating!
	10:48am northguineahills: Harpers Bizarre!
	10:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Deffo a Sunday Morning Coming Down cop...
	10:48am Joe McG: @Matt: Ha ha ha
	10:48am WoodsOfNH: I have a hard time believing people live in Key West on purpose...but I'm a New Englander who cowers at hot weather.
	10:48am northguineahills: Heard ya matt at the discoteque, friday, I was just in my car....
	10:50am Matt Fiveash: ngh- ah cool! Yeah, that was a blast.
	10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Woods: But then we get humid summers here anyhow - with interminable winters...
	10:51am WoodsOfNH: I actually love the winter. Summer has kind of turned disgusting lately.
	10:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: .....disAssociating...
	10:53am morphe': I'll take the 4 seasons (now 2) with ocean, mountains, rivers and lakes.. and the ocassional 2 weeks wandering around Trinidad or Jamaica....
	10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Woods: M'kay. I guess 16 years in Santa Barbara messed me up about climate ...& the big thermostat done been tweaked awlright...
	10:55am yerfriendpaul: Wow! Doobies!
	10:55am MplsCoco: Oh yeah... Good morning Joe and all!
	10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ....& it's hell in SoCal paradise now apparently...
	10:56am (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Wow, Black Water sounds so good for some reason today!
	10:57am prudy: enjoying the Doobie cheese....
	10:57am WoodsOfNH: I just happened to look at Key West weather and it's currently 89 with a dew point of 75. Gross. Still, it was close to that here on the Maine coast for weeks.
	10:58am WoodsOfNH: What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits is a great album.
	10:58am dave wuz here: i wanna hear some funky dixieland
	10:58am pantz: @WoodsofNH The good thing about Key West is that you don't have to walk far to get the ocean breeze. You don't even feel the humidity.
	10:59am northguineahills: @WoodsofNH: I love hot and cold weather, as long as I get a dose of both. The only problem w/ hot weather is the need to hydrate, finding a public loo, and then showering afterwards (and I don't sweat unless I'm doing cardiocascular). Key West is usually constantly 30C/84F all year round.
	11:00am northguineahills: related: Highest meteoroligal temperature recorded in the world in Death Valley yesterda, 130F/54.4C....
	👻 11:01am Brian in UK: Can you say Dixieland nowadays?
	11:02am WoodsOfNH: And Van Halen! All the Vans.
	11:02am northguineahills: please tell me when I spell something correct (it's not the concussion I sweeeeaaarrrrr!
	11:04am anon: Thanks JOE and les personnel squelettique
	11:04am Itzall Hear: Double entendre, for sure...70s sexist ads at their worst.
	👻 11:04am Brian in UK: I'm Mandy, fly me.
	11:04am morphe': June 20th Hottest day in Artic History 100*F https://www.livescience.com/hottest-arctic-circle-temperature-ever-siberia.html
	11:05am KWilde: Im Delta, fly me
	11:05am dave wuz here: www.youtube.com...
	11:05am βrian: Ah, listy, listy, dear me.
	11:05am rocko russo: it was braniff Joe
	11:05am Itzall Hear: National Air Lines; a now-defunct operation.
	11:06am iiibeat: Hippocrates. I shit you not . . Babe!
	11:06am Roger Roger: National airlines had the “ i’m Karen; flight me” campaign
	11:06am Hubig Pie: Yes, it was some comely stewardess' inviting you to fly them
	11:07am iiibeat: Mark Hurst should run for a political office.
	11:08am Eugene R.: And the tie-in is 10cc's "I'm Mandy, Fly Me" from "How Dare You"
	11:09am morphe': Dave wuz here wrote: Fly Judy www.youtube.com...
	11:09am Itzall Hear: I believe now they only ship (male chauvinist) pigs...
	👻 11:10am Brian in UK: Am I right in thinking that Karens do not have a good name just now.
	👻 11:10am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Joe and McGaskowans! I showed up to late for Long Hot Summer. I was just thinking about that song yesterday.
	11:10am Jason from Houston: Ready for this set! :))))
	11:11am Krys O.: Wanda!
	11:11am Yes: her voice is so good
	11:11am Andrew_in_WI: Love this one!
	11:12am Terr in DE: the Gypsy driver doesn't care if you catch your hair in the Ferris Wheel
	11:12am Jason from Houston: (ﾉ･ｪ･)ﾉ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:12am βrian: Then there's the One-L of Love.
	11:13am JG: Speaking of carnivals, I watched Elvis last night in Roustabout. Theme was I thought a metaphor that carnies are a big dysfunctional family. Initially Elvis is too dysfunctional even for the carnies, but then his heart grows a size and half like the Grinch
	👻 11:13am tim from champaign (now washington): Oh man, I totally forgot to submit an obvious one last week. VU's Coney Island Steeplechase!
	11:14am Mick: Was hoping for this Everly song - great show Joe!
	11:14am Matt Fiveash: Joe you may remember that at one point I was obsessed with this Everly Bros song to a degree that could probably be considered unhealthy...
	11:15am JG: What a great Everlys song, but then again, most of them are
	11:15am The Oscar: Loving this set already, though I was really hoping "Ferris Wheel" was going to be a teen death song.
	11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wanda ! Foreverleys...
	11:16am Dennis Diken: go Joe!
	11:16am Joe McG: @Matt: Funny that they didn't even like it much themselves!
	11:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ides triggering Bobby Fuller & Beau Brummels synapses ...
	11:17am Joe McG: Hey Everybody, Dennis has a new show on our Rock and Soul stream on Wednesdays! Dennis, tell them all about it, I give you free promo here, no payola necessary.
	👻 11:18am Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if there any songs paying homage to the Tilt-a-Whirl?
	11:18am The Oscar: WOW this Diana Dors is more explicit than I expected!
	👻 11:19am Brian in UK: A caterpillars thigh.
	11:19am Carmichael: Heya Joe and McGaskoites. KfHP, The Tubes mention many rides (including the Tilt-A-Whirl) on their song Theme Park.
	👻 11:20am Hughie Considine: Get ready for that notorious scream!
	11:20am pantz: Say what?
	11:20am Joe McG: @Carm: I checked out that one, but I didn't really care much for it! Also, it was very literal.
	11:20am Terr in DE: B and B hit the floor
	11:21am The Oscar: I was OBSESSED with the urban myth about the murder recorded on "Love Rollercoaster" as a teen. I wanted to believe!
	11:21am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG You dropped Roller Coaster Blues from the playlist.
	11:22am Carmichael: Yep, it's a lesser known song for a reason.
	11:22am yerfriendpaul: Belle and Sebastian have “roller coaster ride”. Really like that one
	11:23am Walt: For a completely different Diana Dors experience, you can check out this clip of her and John Moulder Brown from Jerzy Skolimowski's "Deep End:" www.youtube.com...
	11:23am Joe McG: @paul: You may hear it.
	11:24am Itzall Hear: Dear The OSCAR, was it true and were spider eggs in Bubble Yum partly to blame?!?
	👻 11:25am tim from champaign (now washington): YES!
	11:25am Andrew_in_WI: Life is Carnival
	11:25am northguineahills: There might be a theme to this set. Just trying to hold onto that thought.....
	11:25am Timbk: Regarding Love Rollercoaster, did you all know of the urban legend in the 1970's about how that one woman's scream was recorded when the singer was actually murdered in the studio. I guess they felt they had to keep it in for posterity.
	11:25am yerfriendpaul: Cool!
	11:26am paul: The Oscar mentioned the murder.
	11:26am pantz: Alls I know is that if you eat a bag of Pop Rocks and drink a can of soda you're stomach will explode.
	11:27am Carmichael: And if you snort a bunch of Pam, you'll get super high.
	👻 11:28am karlward: Joe: "Life is a Carnival" isn't about roller coasters! It's about New Orleans!
	11:28am paul: And never feed an Alka Seltzer to a seagull.
	11:29am Joe McG: @karl: These songs aren't supposed to be about roller coasters! :)
	👻 11:29am Hughie Considine: This might be the ultimate metaphorical amusement park song. i mean, it's right there in the title.
	11:29am Andrew_in_WI: @karlward You dont want to know what "Funnel of Love" is really about
	👻 11:30am karlward: Andrew: go on
	11:30am Timbk: the pop rocks and soda stomach explosion happened to Mikey in the Life commercial. Hence why we never saw him again.
	11:30am Itzall Hear: Funnels? What does that have to do with Richard Gere or urban myths?!?
	11:30am morphe': The Oscar: Regarding the Honey LP: "No band has a more spankable collection of album covers in their discography than does The Ohio Players, and of those none has crusted more tube socks than 1975’s Honey." https://wimwords.com/2014/01/09/from-the-stacks-ohio-players-honey/
	👻 11:31am Hughie Considine: ew
	11:31am WoodsOfNH: "Crusted more tube socks..." OMG. Ha!
	11:32am paul: Nasty, morphe.
	11:32am Carmichael: TMI
	11:32am Brendan: I thought you might play this one Joe, thank you
	👻 11:32am Marley P. Dogg: Ahhh my favorite Neil young song!
	11:33am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe this set is to die for!!!
	11:33am Krys O.: Oh, geez. This Neil is tugging on my heartstrings....
	11:33am zivilars: This reminds me to check if the Santa Cruz 1990 live recording is already out
	11:33am Rachel Bo Bachel: Krys it gets me every time!
	11:34am JG: Neil never made me cry when I was 20 but now that my kids are around 20 I want to cry when I heart this
	11:34am Terr in DE: teenage Neil
	11:34am Joe McG: Summer passing always does feel like getting older. That next school year comes and you're one step closer to adulthood.
	11:34am WoodsOfNH: It's good, but it's no "T-Bone"
	11:35am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe we brought our speaker outside and I was blasting it hanging off my double stroller walking down Flatbush Ave.! Sugar mountain started right when we got to our garden <3
	11:35am Joe McG: @Woods: True enough! @RBR: I love it!
	11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neil references the country fair in Flying on the Ground as well. Solo performance sure works here...
	11:35am Glorious Estephonic: Neil makes me think of you Rachel Bo Bachel ! and your mom ! and Doranne ! <3 <3 <3 and Surface Noise
	11:35am morphe': Simon is taking over the computer so I'll say thanks now to Joe and all!!!! Listen on the the old Mac but not type..
	11:35am Rachel Bo Bachel: I remember by first cigarette. I was 13. I coughed so much!
	11:36am Carmichael: Do you have double children, Rachel?
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Later, morphe'!
	11:36am Krys O.: My late sister was a teacher and her birthday was yesterday. Always gave her clothes for the new school year as a present. She was 20 in 1969.
	11:36am northguineahills: @Rachel: You're doing it correct! (speaker in a stroller). I had my first cigarette when I was 16 (sheltered christian life), quit when I was 22...
	11:37am Rachel Bo Bachel: Estephonic I love you! You should write to Clay to play Monday morning races, he needs another player!
	11:37am Carmichael: I ask because I'm the father of twins.
	11:37am Krys O.: Aw, crikey. Tears are flowing. I used to play Circle Game on my Magnus organ as a tot.
	11:37am Jason from Houston: ꒰˘̩̩̩⌣˘̩̩̩ ꒱ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:38am Jeezuseffinchrist: ah it's a good playlist, reminds me of stuff I grew up hearing with my mom, and tbh that's super needed nostalgic comfort today <3
	11:38am Yes: :)
	11:38am Timbk: Dang Joe, hitting the nostalgic vibe. is it the september weather?
	11:38am northguineahills: @Carmichael: you poor bastard (my younger brothers are twins, and I remember the various double strollers)
	11:39am Joe McG: @Timbk: I love autumn, I can't wait!
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: Carmichael, snap. Have you got a new pup yet? An old friend lost his best friend last year but it looks like he has found another (black lab) happy again.
	👻 11:39am YETI BOB: I won't have any of this melancholic "end of summer" talk. No. I simply won't hear it. Autumn Equinox is not until Sep 22 - that's FIVE WEEKS away.
	11:40am paul: You switched to a Canadian theme, Joe.
	11:40am Joe McG: I like this low-fi version of "Circle Game" more than the album version with all those people singing in the background. @YB: It's coming, it's coming!!
	11:40am dano59: Is this from 2nd Fret Sessions?
	11:40am Timbk: Me too Joe, September is my fav month.
	11:40am PaulRobeson1920: There is a season turn, turn, turn. & a time for every...
	11:41am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe I was going to suggest circle game two weeks ago! Now I have “happy tears” as my daughter Rose calls them, sitting on the picnic blanket w/ my kinderlach :.)
	11:41am Carmichael: Not yet, UK Brian. We have some life decisions coming up (retirement, possible move, etc ..), so we're holding off.
	11:41am Terr in DE: 5 weeks, but the weather sings a Doors song
	11:41am Jeezuseffinchrist: this reminds me of that Jessica Pratt song, Nightfaces. If you can find it, it would blend with this carnival theme and sound beautifully
	11:42am prudy: I'm with you Yeti Bob...
	11:42am PaulRobeson1920: “At night we swim the laghin’ sea” @Terr
	11:42am Walt: I confess I hadn't heard Buffy Sainte-Marie's version of "The Circle Game" before seeing "Once upon a Time in Hollywood. Whoever's decision it was to speed up the tempo and add the great instrumental arrangement made it a much better version than any of Joni's versions IMHO. (No disrespect to Joni of course, just props to Buffy).
	11:42am Krys O.: That's beautiful, Rachel.
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: Carmichael, our twins are 34, seems like only yesterday.
	11:42am paul: And now we're off to Scotland. :}
	11:43am steveo: listening quietly today;; wonderful show!
	11:43am Joe McG: Happy tears are the best tears!
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: Is 22nd Sept, Dance like an Equinox Day?
	11:43am Joe B: ann arbor mich. to be specific re sugar mountain
	11:43am Andrew_in_WI: "Spinning Wheel" by B, S & T.
	11:43am Timbk: Great Donovan song
	11:44am Terr in DE: wow , i m precognitent today, i ll have to play a daily number
	11:45am Glorious Estephonic: <3 <3 <3 Love you Rachel Bo Bachel. I can't do anything but listen on Monday's because I'm in transit / landing mode for my 36 hour eldercare work shift.
	11:45am Carmichael: You have twins too, Brian?! Mine are just 23.
	11:45am Joe McG: @JoeB: Should I have played the earlier version from Archives? Is it as good?
	11:45am Ian: Fun fact: Joni wrote The Circle Game after hearing Neil sing Sugar Mountain. If you want to go full bore Canadian bootleg, play Carnival in Kenora by Joni.
	11:45am Glorious Estephonic: To listen to Surface Noise outside -- wow that is the life.
	👻 11:45am Hughie Considine: My twins are 16. Happy to be in such a good twin-friendly crowd.
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Donovan both avant & indispensable in 1966.
	11:46am Joe B: no this is the definitive version. the earlier one is him playing an unplugged electric guitar! not as good!
	11:46am paul: When I was Ubering, I pick up a young man named Donovan who lived on Atlantis Dr. (in Holiday, FL). I asked him if he was aware of the song and he hadn't!
	11:46am Carmichael: YESS!
	11:46am northguineahills: @Rev Rabbit: & 2020...
	11:46am steveo: my spouse listens to the gordon lightfoot channel on spotify and the only neil that shows up there is heart of gold; disappointing
	11:46am Jason from Houston: OH MY GOSH...
	11:46am Joe McG: We might not have time for Belle and Sebastian, guys, sorry - I forgot that it was 7 minutes long.
	11:47am Joe McG: @Joe B: Whew!
	11:47am Joe B: the 1965 one is historically significant as it is from the failed elektra audition. but that's about it, i.m.o.
	11:47am Jason from Houston: Just play this song over and over...
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Juniper for the finale, Joe McG?
	11:47am Andrew_in_WI: It does feel like end of summer... I drank my first octoberfest beer of the year yesterday.
	11:48am phat: Apparently Richard Thompson is my new thing. I'm ok with that.
	11:48am Rachel Bo Bachel: Carmichael not doubles, just a 2-y.o. and a 4-y.o. It was a good version of Circle Game Joe! This set has been such a gift. Thank you!!
	11:49am Beast of Boonton: "Carnival" is a song written and recorded by Eric Clapton for his 1976 studio album No Reason to Cry.
	11:49am bnowb: Great show today Joe. Thank you Have a great day everyone.
	11:49am paul: I saw RT at the House of Blues in Chicago. Great show! A few years back.
	11:49am Rachel Bo Bachel: I would take an encore of tunnel of love :D
	11:50am SeanG: Bruce rules!
	11:50am Carmichael: OK, I'm out.
	11:50am yerfriendpaul: Yeah, it’s long. But that’s part of the reason why it’s so good. Thanks anyway Joe!
	11:50am carrots: great show bravo!
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: We have all those beautiful Autumn coloured leaves to look forward to. Joe. Great show as ever.
	11:50am Melissa: GREAT set!!!! Thank you so much!! And btw- I love this Springsteen song.
	11:51am Colleen: Love it....
	11:51am phat: Well shit, this version of Tunnel of Love is unexpected.
	11:51am Rachel Bo Bachel: omg I officially love you Joe!!! This one is for WoodsofNH if he’s listening
	11:51am Itzall Hear: You, Me and all that stuff we're so scared of" Brilliant, poignant...damn this guy's good.
	11:51am Terr in DE: I add Great Show, as well
	11:52am (another) Patrick in Hoboken: I don't care what anyone says. One of my favorite Bruce songs, especially when he and Patty sing into the mic together in the latter part of the song during live performances
	11:52am yerfriendpaul: I know this is risky mentioning this but I always thought that Natalie Merchant Carnival song was nice
	11:52am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe and everyone!
	👻 11:52am Webhamster Henry: Joe McG's show - the little County Fair of the air.
	11:52am Glorious Estephonic: Rachel Bo Bachel + Bruce = <3 <3
	11:52am WoodsOfNH: @Rachel Bo Bachel...Ha! I was happy to find this and send it to Joe. Cool version. Only time he played it like this.
	👻 11:52am 12539: Thanks, Joe! Be careful out there and keep on boinging.
	11:52am Joe B: wow great
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe -- loved it today. Wish I could have chatted more, but BLARGH is winning the day so far. Be well, all. See you at the Next Joe!
	11:53am Itzall Hear: He SO wants to YODEL...Yodel, Bruce, you can do it!!!
	11:53am paul: Banana Fana Fo Fachel.
	11:53am Mick: Whoa, this version of Tunnel! Whole other song.
	11:53am phat: Bruce's yodeling is something else. Does anyone ever talk about that?
	11:53am JG: Joe where is this Springsteen from?
	11:53am Lizardner Dave 2: Great show Joe, thanks!
	11:53am gilmour: New Jersey, I believe
	11:54am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning, Joe!
	11:54am JG: @ Gilmore haha. but seriously where is the performance recorded?
	11:55am WoodsOfNH: Tunnel was from August 3, 2005 Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, MI
	11:55am JG: @ Woods thank you!
	11:55am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:56am paul: Palisades Park would ruin the moon. Please don't.
	11:56am paul: mood
	11:57am Jason from Houston: Such a fine set... Thank you!
	11:57am Rachel Bo Bachel: Paul that’s me :D yerfriendpaul I think Natalie merchant has plenty of indie/alternative cred, no need to fear offending the uber cool crowd! Plus yes it’s a lovely song :)
	11:57am βrian: If you're inclined to lean to Irene, her show is coming up on the hour: wfmu.org...
	11:58am phat: Holy hell that Cocteau Twins/Faye Wong is a revelation. Wow. Made my day.

	12:10pm yerfriendpaul: One of my favorite Talking Heads tunes. Crosses into insanity - I love it
	12:35pm NJD: Thanks Joe for playing my new tune! In good company too. Adam Ant remains the most famous person ever to come to one of my gigs...
	2:43pm Joe McG: @NJD: Very happy to play the advance and looking forward to the full LP! I hope you pecked out a bit of "Antmusic" for AA!
	12:46pm Daniel K: I'm listening to this a couple days late but after that pirate/seaman/island set I'm convinced that Joe is the literal best DJ ever. So nice work, I guess.

	9:02am pantz: I always wondered who performed the songs on the "ray-dee-ooo" the Yips are listening to. It's very 60's stuff but I wonder if the Sesame Street gang composed them.
	9:03am deborah: Radio Radio!!
	👻 9:03am YETI BOB: ԀI⅄ ԀI⅄

	9:06am The Oscar: Well this is nice.
	9:06am pantz: @deborah definitely John K stole that for Ren's Burl Ives rip off
	👻 9:07am YETI BOB: I used to listen to Camper Van Beethoven all the time (it was this station that turned me on to them in the 80s). Haven't thought about them in a long time. Greg Lisher always was good on the guitar in that band. I want to hear more of his solo album!
	9:10am Joe McG: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the show. Soft start today, will get raucous.
	9:12am Malcolm: good morning all
	9:12am WoodsOfNH: Joe McG So you're saying you're gonna play some Foghat?
	9:12am deborah: @pantz: Ren and Stimpy is being revived/revamped for Comedy Central. I can hardly wait!
	9:12am Creature Boy: Studies show that 99% of all Creature Boys are GONE like REAL GONE
	9:13am Terr in DE: Good morning Joe and everyone
	9:13am Creature Boy: That IS good news Deborah
	👻 9:13am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Rain stopped, sun out. Somehow tied in with the start of your show!
	9:13am pantz: @Joe McG might be a bit too early for raucous. Can we stick to rambunctious until the coffee kicks in? @deborah me neither! Is that with John K?
	9:14am joe mulligan: nice ease into the week Joe!
	9:15am melinda: morning everyone!
	9:15am deborah: No. John K was accused of nefarious doings and was removed from the creative team, I heard.
	9:16am TDK60: Morning Joe. (Didn't see that the Fairport Convention video this past weekend was not from 2020, but footage from the 2019 fest. Still great.)
	9:16am Creature Boy: Oh wow , I'm not familiar w this Zombie parallel thingamajig
	9:17am pantz: @deborah I see
	9:17am Joe McG: @joem: Thanks! @TDK60: I forgot to watch! :(
	9:17am Handy Haversack: If Rod and Chris wanted to go properly heraldic (and I feel like they would), they could go with Argent and Ermine.
	9:17am Creature Boy: Amazing!
	9:17am Really Lisa: Pretty tune. Hi all.
	👻 9:19am Brian in UK: Hey TDK60, are you referring to this? www.youtube.com...
	9:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh Argent & White '68 ...was gonna say can so see 'Odessey & Oracle' from there...
	👻 9:20am Brian in UK: This HP kind of reminds me of David Poe.
	9:21am Krys O.: Greetings!
	9:21am TDK60: Morning Brian. Yes, that was it. Did you see it?
	👻 9:22am Brian in UK: TDK60, did not have four hours spare, might dip in later.
	9:23am Pixburgh: Is this what the kids call Vaporwave?
	9:24am Joe McG: @Pixburgh: Vape wave.
	9:25am TDK60: Brian, it was very good. There was a short clip at the start of an F.C. staffer walking round the field, saying "This is where the stage usually is, this is where the bar usually is," etc.
	👻 9:28am YETI BOB: If it quacks like a Duck Baker ...
	9:29am Joe McG: I haven't done a side-by-side until now, but it sounds to me like "Pecan Rock" and "Plymouth Rock" are essentially the same tune!
	9:29am Pixburgh: Vapor Duck.
	9:31am anon: good morning, and thanks to all for the tunes. pecan or plymouth? it's all good
	9:32am PKNY: @Joe - got my swag in the mail the other day, looking forward to giving Pan-Demonium multiple listens!

	9:38am nematomorpha: Hello from rainy, grey Vienna! Had one of these really bad school days dreams last night... music is the healing force! Great set so far.
	9:39am Colleen: Instant happiness!! Thanks Joe!!
	9:39am The Oscar: THURL!!!

	👻 9:39am YETI BOB: @nemato: Servus!
	9:40am pantz: Oooh. Pirate of The Caribbean ride on shrooms is one of my fondest memories.
	9:40am Krys O.: Unmistakably Thurl.

	👻 9:42am Webhamster Henry: @The Oscar never put anything past 21st century AI audio resynthesis.
	9:42am Joe McG: People never like the way Pennsylvanians say "pecan."
	👻 9:43am YETI BOB: melinda got it right
	9:43am Krys O.: @Melinda: There are four regionally based pronunciations of pecan. www.farmflavor.com...

	9:45am northguineahills: If we're in a time warp, can we get to MJ's Captain EO?
	9:45am Hubig Pie: Me mum's from Mississippi and she hates when I say pee-can
	9:46am Joe McG: I asked for pecan pie in Georgia once and got a funny look.
	9:46am Roger Roger: Jollity!
	9:46am bmpwb: My from from south she says Pecahn not PeCAN
	👻 9:46am YETI BOB: @JoeMcG: Is this what you meant by "raucous" ?? hahaha
	9:47am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe, that was great!! It was like you took us to Disneyland! The best part anyway :D
	9:47am Joe McG: @YB: Workin' on it! :)
	9:47am bnowb: my typing is oh boy ... I meant to say my mom is from south
	9:47am WoodsOfNH: I had a piece of pecan pie at Stuckey's in South Carolina when I was 8. I did not like it.
	9:47am Handy Haversack: Turkish Song -- of the Damned! Yeah!
	9:48am Stevel: Now we’re talking, if perhaps through rotting teeth!

	9:48am anon: Hubig! peh cons and prah leens 4 all
	9:48am Matt Fiveash: This show should be rated arrrrh!
	9:48am bnowb: My grandparents had big pecan trees in the yard. It was a big deal and we ate far too many pecan dishes.
	9:49am Handy Haversack: (According to legend, someone was trying to ask Shane if he'd heard a Damned song, "The Turkish Song," and this was was what resulted.)
	9:49am Handy Haversack: Shake your booty, Matt 5ash!
	9:49am Joe McG: @Matt: Ha ha ha!
	👻 9:49am Webhamster Henry: Joe McG will have to recap this on Sept 19th "Talk Like A Pirate Day"
	9:50am Handy Haversack: At the end here is where, live, the band would go NUTS.
	9:50am nematomorpha: there's this really funny interview with shane, mark e smith and nick cave: thequietus.com...
	9:50am bnowb: I love Shane.. I dont know there was just a genius in there. Amazing song writer, good lord!
	9:51am Hubig Pie: Stuckey's used to give a free pecan roll with a gas fill-up
	9:51am Joe McG: @nema: Must read! After seeing the doc, I walked around imitating his laugh for a week.
	9:51am Handy Haversack: Thanks, nema!
	👻 9:51am YETI BOB: @Handy: How was the weekend? Any boaty adventures? (I didn't do much myself ... pretty lazy weekend)
	9:52am northguineahills: Apparently, I adjust my accent depending where I am. My first few days back down South, I'm told I have a Yankee accent. First few in NYC, I'm told I have a Southern accent....
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov637: Mostly only read about the Mimi & Richard albums!
	9:53am Bill D: Tompkins Square Records and Joe M perfect for a Monday morning.
	9:53am Terr in DE: if Adam Ant didn't cover this, he should have
	9:54am TDK60: Revrab: That's almost tragic; the first two LPs are seminal folk-rock. (Fariñas)
	👻 9:55am YETI BOB: @northguineahills: I've spent decades in New Jersey, Boston and Chicago - nobody can tell where I'm from now - they just know "not from around here". (Plus I think my dad taught us some idiosyncratic things, like not to emphasize the PEE in pecan.)
	👻 9:56am Webhamster Henry: I'm from West Hartford, home of Noah Webster, so I pretend my accent is the USA's received pronunciation.
	9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Adam & I both 3rd Nov. babies ...but he shares the actual day in 1954 with Godzilla... & he got Hendrix's hussar jacket ! How does this guy rate ?!? : D
	9:56am Malcolm: pirate radio
	9:57am Handy Haversack: Yeti, we had an abbreviated trip Friday afternoon -- wanted river breeze, but there was more of it than was safe! So we stayed on the Creek, which, well, low tide after a couple of days of rain was pretty stinky. Decided not to repeat the experience on Sat. with the wind undiminished! So I just repaired the yard and outside from weeks of heat-induced neglect on Sat. Sundays have been gaming days all through the pandemic, so I played D&D with friends 12-6. Now finally enjoying some human-tolerable weather out here. Finally doesn't feel actively hostile!
	9:58am sydnius: Class?
	9:59am anon: as a child stuck in the back seat of the car on 4 hour trips on weekends the allure of Stuckey's seemed overwhelming yet my parents never stopped there. As a teen with friend's parents I finally experienced Stuckey's. Disappointment ensued.
	10:00am Joe McG: You guys are being so good today, not one Bob Dylan diss! I guess Richard Farina took care of it for everyone. :)
	10:00am βrian: It's been three-syllable gorgeous here on the isthmus! Soft breezes, whispy clouds, soughing of leaves. Really dreamy.
	10:00am Creature Boy: I'm almost convinced that the new Dylan material is influenced by Adam Sandler's music
	10:00am northguineahills: @Yeti Bob: It doesn't help that I invent my own slang, and adopt slang from multiple languages....
	10:00am Rick A.: It's probably too late. However, there is "Kid's Pirate Ship" by San Francisco Seals, a lovely song. The Ravenscroft piece brought back memories of many rides on Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
	10:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we got FreeForm Paddle Pirates here...
	10:01am Tim 07030: ...as we sail off the edge of the world. Good morning Joe!
	👻 10:01am YETI BOB: JoeMcG: This new Dylan album is GREAT. I don't care what anyone says. The minimal, droney sound of the band ... and the ragged majesty of Dylan's voice ... really works for me. (Good job Tony Garnier)
	10:02am βrian: Oh, I thought he was trying to pull off a Leonard Cohen effect.
	10:02am Joe McG: Do you think Bob plays any shuffleboard down there in Key West?
	👻 10:02am Brian in UK: Take me to the Dry Tortugas.
	10:02am Handy Haversack: I had been about to say that I sometimes find the new Dylan Tortuga to listen to ...
	10:02am sydnius: Bocce
	10:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Friggin' in the Rigging by the piStOLs or something like them...
	👻 10:03am YETI BOB: better than anything Bob has done in decades, IMO
	10:03am Joe McG: Bob doesn't even TRY to hide that he has a lot of phlegm in his throat.
	10:03am VincentNifigance: Just got it this week. Really great album.
	10:04am βrian: Ragged Majesty was Doug's first band in High School.
	10:04am Creature Boy: C'mon, u can hear in your mind's ear Sandler singing "i contain multitudes" ADMIT IT
	10:05am G: Bob to the engineer: "Phlegm adds character."
	👻 10:05am Brian in UK: Jimmy Buffett's A Pirate Looks at Forty, next?
	10:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Been observed that in the day everybody wanted The Answer from Dylan - & later he started to give his answers & people cared less...
	10:05am Joe McG: In 10 years, this will be on a commercial for Florida tourism.
	10:05am βrian: Too many pommes frites will make a guy phlegmish.
	👻 10:06am YETI BOB: @JoeMcG: That's one long commercial spot!
	10:06am TDK60: An old gem... (P.H.)
	10:06am Creature Boy: He's reinventing yacht rock and 7 other genres all at once
	10:06am Ike: No, Bob, don't bother trying to pick up that pirate radio signal. It's just conspiracy theory talk in Haitian Creole over Skype, nothing interesting!
	10:06am βrian: Yes, but that will be sub-marine tourism.
	10:06am Krys O.: Turning it up for Procol Harum!
	10:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had the 45 of Salty Dog around the house in my toddlerhood - same on both sides !
	👻 10:08am Brian in UK: The signature tune to Captain Pugwash cartoons springs to mind.
	10:08am Bill D: Salty Dog one of the best seafaring songs ever!
	10:08am Joe McG: I know this isn't really a pirate song, but I wanted to hear it, and it's sea-related, anyhow.
	10:09am melinda: @Ike haha
	10:09am Beast of Boonton: International Talk Like a Pirate Day is September 19, 2020
	10:10am Joe McG: Is Sept 19th a Monday?
	👻 10:10am Brian in UK: Joe, this reminds me (a little) of David Ackles' Ballad of the Ship of State.
	10:10am pantz: I just need some Christopher Cross to wind this set up!
	10:10am βrian: The soundtrack to Jonathan Livingston Seagull is sea-related.
	👻 10:11am Brian in UK: Saturday.
	👻 10:11am YETI BOB: @Brian: You mean SatARRRday.
	10:12am Joe McG: Oh well! I guess Michael and Todd will talk like pirates during their shows.
	10:13am Tim 07030: Eno/Cale have a piratey song, those scalawags
	10:13am Creature Boy: There's a great piratey mutinee song on this Stiff Records Akron Ohio Comp from the 70s . can't remember any of the "deets". Devo country was rich w great GREAT music . what the hell was happening w all those bands , that SCENE in Akron back then?!
	10:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Radio Silence by Thomas Dolby about Pirate Radio ??...
	10:14am Krys O.: Ooh, love that Thomas Dolby song.
	10:14am TDK60: Creature, maybe it was living in a city dedicated to rubber?
	👻 10:14am Brian in UK: YETI BOB, that I do, where's Roger the cabin boy.
	10:14am Tim 07030: First time in message board history the word 'piratey' used in successive posts.
	👻 10:14am YETI BOB: @Creature Boy: I think everyone was high on rubber fumes.
	10:15am βrian: Don't roger the cabin boy!
	10:15am Creature Boy: Yes Perhaps tdk & YETI meanwhile Johnny Kidd
	10:16am Creature Boy: Haha tim
	10:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Every sperm whale is sacred if a sperm whale is wasted Gawd gets quite pi-rate...
	10:17am PaulRobeson1920: Bob’s playing all the Shuffleboard! Bob Dylans on top of the game right now!
	10:18am Jeannine from Weehawken: anyone know the music in the background behind Joe right now?
	10:18am βrian: RRabit: "Oof!"
	10:18am northguineahills: @Joe McG: The Conch Republic would love to use it!
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: !"You got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend."
	10:19am javakid: @Jeannine sounds like an instrumental of a Hot Chocolate track. But this is a very uninformed guess. I do like it too.
	👻 10:20am YETI BOB: Always wondered who (if anyone) was the real life inspiration behind "+4thSt", maybe the ultimate diss song.
	10:20am johnk77: great set salty dog required listening w/teenage stoner set of my 60s ne ohio youth @yeti tony garnier super guy offstage also in the 70s he was a big fan of bill kirchen's moonliters
	10:20am Jeannine from Weehawken: thanks @ javakid!
	10:21am Brendan: Piratey songs, see also: The Wreckers loosely based on Daphne du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn. Don’t make me walk the plank – it’s a Rush song.
	10:21am Creature Boy: Nice tidbits of trivia on the 4th street og Feud !
	10:22am Joe McG: @Brendan: I saw the movie of "Jamaica Inn"!
	10:23am Creature Boy: I went back to bed b4 hearing "the modfather" on todd0's show . prolly hit the archives idk
	10:23am TVP: Weather's so nice, I have the AC off and windows open at my makeshift home office next to my bed for the first time in months.
	10:23am Joe McG: @Jeannine: It's a slowed down version of Exile's "Kiss You All Over." :)
	10:24am bnowb: feels like "summer just passed by"
	10:25am Jeannine from Weehawken: thank you Joe!! every week i look forward to Mondays, but 9am - noon only.
	10:25am WHAT are they saying?: I don't know if it's just me but that chorus sounds a little iffy.
	10:25am Creature Boy: "...If you won't crawl out your window"
	10:26am WoodsOfNH: There's also Ween's "The Blarney Stone." The only Ween song I like.
	10:26am Joe McG: I like Weller a lot. Even interviews I read from back in the day, he just sounds like a real no-bullshit kind of guy. He got a lot of flak for being some kind of snob, but I think he just hates nonsense. (Smart move to get into the music industry!)
	10:26am johnk77: nicest weather day in nyc since june must now fix flat to ride bike
	10:27am bnowb: Bmx saves lives if you can out live a few crashes lol
	10:27am miniteeny: The Cappuccino Kid

	👻 10:29am YETI BOB: @johnk77: you probably know this but Tony Garnier has been working with Steve Gunn recently
	👻 10:31am Brian in UK: Single File on time. Is this a record?
	10:31am Joe McG: @Brian: It may be! I hardly ever start on time!
	10:31am johnk77: just learned tony garnier's grandfather taught louis armstrong @yeti thanks i did not know that
	10:32am Creature Boy: He really hates Mr clean
	10:32am Creature Boy: I mean he just can't stand em
	10:33am Joe McG: Mr Clean is just trying to get the kitchen spotless. And he has a bald head.
	10:33am Creature Boy: Ha
	10:34am TDK60: I think it's the same record basically as the album, but it sounds like they changed "f**k up your life" to a safer verb.
	10:35am Joe McG: @TDK: Clean Edit.
	10:36am bnowb: hard to hear that song dropping the F bomb
	10:39am Creature Boy: Uh oh , looks like Harlan just pulled into the leas
	10:39am Creature Boy: LEAD!*
	👻 10:39am Brian in UK: Is this a kind of Harper Valley take.
	10:39am zivilars: Thanks for the show, Joe, enjoying it while working! Have a great day everybody!
	10:40am McGroovey: Ooh, that Harlan Howard song was a great burn.
	10:41am Joe McG: Thanks for saying howdy, zivilars!
	10:42am Creature Boy: More of a Sunday Morning Comin Down take, really. I think Harper Valley was a bit of an Ode to Billy Joe rip off actually & then there's Bob's own Clothes Line Saga
	10:45am northguineahills: (the conch republic is a tongue-in cheek reference to Key West as a micronation [if only, I'd move there already])
	10:45am Matt Fiveash: I still maintain that if I were able to time travel and assassinate any two historical figures before they could do any damage, I would choose Friend and Lover
	10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If you think about it - even though being Mod in the late 1970s seemed affected (not to say Sound Affected) - The Jam were also about not worshipping Punk tropes shamelessly... though in the Todd interview he said he has only positive regard for the Clash & pIStOLs...
	10:46am Creature Boy: Haha
	10:46am Joe McG: @Matt: You don't like "The Rockford Files" theme, Matt?

	10:46am Matt Fiveash: Phew! You had me worried.
	10:47am Matt Fiveash: If it was Mike Post, then they would've had to send you back in time to stop me from killing him!
	10:47am northguineahills: @Matt: if you kill Friend and Lover, you break the a time traveling rule akin to the "Not Killing Hitler Rule" The side effects would be almost as devastating!
	10:48am northguineahills: Harpers Bizarre!
	10:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Deffo a Sunday Morning Coming Down cop...
	10:48am Joe McG: @Matt: Ha ha ha
	10:48am WoodsOfNH: I have a hard time believing people live in Key West on purpose...but I'm a New Englander who cowers at hot weather.

	10:50am Matt Fiveash: ngh- ah cool! Yeah, that was a blast.
	10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Woods: But then we get humid summers here anyhow - with interminable winters...

	10:57am prudy: enjoying the Doobie cheese....
	10:57am WoodsOfNH: I just happened to look at Key West weather and it's currently 89 with a dew point of 75. Gross. Still, it was close to that here on the Maine coast for weeks.
	10:58am WoodsOfNH: What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits is a great album.
	10:58am dave wuz here: i wanna hear some funky dixieland
	10:58am pantz: @WoodsofNH The good thing about Key West is that you don't have to walk far to get the ocean breeze. You don't even feel the humidity.
	10:59am northguineahills: @WoodsofNH: I love hot and cold weather, as long as I get a dose of both. The only problem w/ hot weather is the need to hydrate, finding a public loo, and then showering afterwards (and I don't sweat unless I'm doing cardiocascular). Key West is usually constantly 30C/84F all year round.
	11:00am northguineahills: related: Highest meteoroligal temperature recorded in the world in Death Valley yesterda, 130F/54.4C....

	11:11am Yes: her voice is so good
	11:11am Andrew_in_WI: Love this one!
	11:12am Terr in DE: the Gypsy driver doesn't care if you catch your hair in the Ferris Wheel
	11:12am Jason from Houston: (ﾉ･ｪ･)ﾉ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:12am βrian: Then there's the One-L of Love.
	11:13am JG: Speaking of carnivals, I watched Elvis last night in Roustabout. Theme was I thought a metaphor that carnies are a big dysfunctional family. Initially Elvis is too dysfunctional even for the carnies, but then his heart grows a size and half like the Grinch
	👻 11:13am tim from champaign (now washington): Oh man, I totally forgot to submit an obvious one last week. VU's Coney Island Steeplechase!
	11:14am Mick: Was hoping for this Everly song - great show Joe!
	11:14am Matt Fiveash: Joe you may remember that at one point I was obsessed with this Everly Bros song to a degree that could probably be considered unhealthy...
	11:15am JG: What a great Everlys song, but then again, most of them are
	11:15am The Oscar: Loving this set already, though I was really hoping "Ferris Wheel" was going to be a teen death song.
	11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wanda ! Foreverleys...
	11:16am Dennis Diken: go Joe!
	11:16am Joe McG: @Matt: Funny that they didn't even like it much themselves!
	11:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ides triggering Bobby Fuller & Beau Brummels synapses ...
	11:17am Joe McG: Hey Everybody, Dennis has a new show on our Rock and Soul stream on Wednesdays! Dennis, tell them all about it, I give you free promo here, no payola necessary.
	👻 11:18am Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if there any songs paying homage to the Tilt-a-Whirl?
	11:18am The Oscar: WOW this Diana Dors is more explicit than I expected!
	👻 11:19am Brian in UK: A caterpillars thigh.
	11:19am Carmichael: Heya Joe and McGaskoites. KfHP, The Tubes mention many rides (including the Tilt-A-Whirl) on their song Theme Park.
	👻 11:20am Hughie Considine: Get ready for that notorious scream!
	11:20am pantz: Say what?
	11:20am Joe McG: @Carm: I checked out that one, but I didn't really care much for it! Also, it was very literal.
	11:20am Terr in DE: B and B hit the floor
	11:21am The Oscar: I was OBSESSED with the urban myth about the murder recorded on "Love Rollercoaster" as a teen. I wanted to believe!
	11:21am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG You dropped Roller Coaster Blues from the playlist.
	11:22am Carmichael: Yep, it's a lesser known song for a reason.
	11:22am yerfriendpaul: Belle and Sebastian have “roller coaster ride”. Really like that one
	11:23am Walt: For a completely different Diana Dors experience, you can check out this clip of her and John Moulder Brown from Jerzy Skolimowski's "Deep End:" www.youtube.com...
	11:23am Joe McG: @paul: You may hear it.
	11:24am Itzall Hear: Dear The OSCAR, was it true and were spider eggs in Bubble Yum partly to blame?!?
	👻 11:25am tim from champaign (now washington): YES!
	11:25am Andrew_in_WI: Life is Carnival
	11:25am northguineahills: There might be a theme to this set. Just trying to hold onto that thought.....
	11:25am Timbk: Regarding Love Rollercoaster, did you all know of the urban legend in the 1970's about how that one woman's scream was recorded when the singer was actually murdered in the studio. I guess they felt they had to keep it in for posterity.
	11:25am yerfriendpaul: Cool!
	11:26am paul: The Oscar mentioned the murder.
	11:26am pantz: Alls I know is that if you eat a bag of Pop Rocks and drink a can of soda you're stomach will explode.
	11:27am Carmichael: And if you snort a bunch of Pam, you'll get super high.
	👻 11:28am karlward: Joe: "Life is a Carnival" isn't about roller coasters! It's about New Orleans!
	11:28am paul: And never feed an Alka Seltzer to a seagull.
	11:29am Joe McG: @karl: These songs aren't supposed to be about roller coasters! :)
	👻 11:29am Hughie Considine: This might be the ultimate metaphorical amusement park song. i mean, it's right there in the title.
	11:29am Andrew_in_WI: @karlward You dont want to know what "Funnel of Love" is really about
	👻 11:30am karlward: Andrew: go on
	11:30am Timbk: the pop rocks and soda stomach explosion happened to Mikey in the Life commercial. Hence why we never saw him again.
	11:30am Itzall Hear: Funnels? What does that have to do with Richard Gere or urban myths?!?
	11:30am morphe': The Oscar: Regarding the Honey LP: "No band has a more spankable collection of album covers in their discography than does The Ohio Players, and of those none has crusted more tube socks than 1975’s Honey." https://wimwords.com/2014/01/09/from-the-stacks-ohio-players-honey/
	👻 11:31am Hughie Considine: ew
	11:31am WoodsOfNH: "Crusted more tube socks..." OMG. Ha!
	11:32am paul: Nasty, morphe.
	11:32am Carmichael: TMI
	11:32am Brendan: I thought you might play this one Joe, thank you
	👻 11:32am Marley P. Dogg: Ahhh my favorite Neil young song!
	11:33am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe this set is to die for!!!
	11:33am Krys O.: Oh, geez. This Neil is tugging on my heartstrings....
	11:33am zivilars: This reminds me to check if the Santa Cruz 1990 live recording is already out
	11:33am Rachel Bo Bachel: Krys it gets me every time!
	11:34am JG: Neil never made me cry when I was 20 but now that my kids are around 20 I want to cry when I heart this
	11:34am Terr in DE: teenage Neil
	11:34am Joe McG: Summer passing always does feel like getting older. That next school year comes and you're one step closer to adulthood.
	11:34am WoodsOfNH: It's good, but it's no "T-Bone"
	11:35am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe we brought our speaker outside and I was blasting it hanging off my double stroller walking down Flatbush Ave.! Sugar mountain started right when we got to our garden <3
	11:35am Joe McG: @Woods: True enough! @RBR: I love it!
	11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neil references the country fair in Flying on the Ground as well. Solo performance sure works here...
	11:35am Glorious Estephonic: Neil makes me think of you Rachel Bo Bachel ! and your mom ! and Doranne ! <3 <3 <3 and Surface Noise
	11:35am morphe': Simon is taking over the computer so I'll say thanks now to Joe and all!!!! Listen on the the old Mac but not type..
	11:35am Rachel Bo Bachel: I remember by first cigarette. I was 13. I coughed so much!
	11:36am Carmichael: Do you have double children, Rachel?
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Later, morphe'!
	11:36am Krys O.: My late sister was a teacher and her birthday was yesterday. Always gave her clothes for the new school year as a present. She was 20 in 1969.
	11:36am northguineahills: @Rachel: You're doing it correct! (speaker in a stroller). I had my first cigarette when I was 16 (sheltered christian life), quit when I was 22...
	11:37am Rachel Bo Bachel: Estephonic I love you! You should write to Clay to play Monday morning races, he needs another player!
	11:37am Carmichael: I ask because I'm the father of twins.
	11:37am Krys O.: Aw, crikey. Tears are flowing. I used to play Circle Game on my Magnus organ as a tot.
	11:37am Jason from Houston: ꒰˘̩̩̩⌣˘̩̩̩ ꒱ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:38am Jeezuseffinchrist: ah it's a good playlist, reminds me of stuff I grew up hearing with my mom, and tbh that's super needed nostalgic comfort today <3
	11:38am Yes: :)
	11:38am Timbk: Dang Joe, hitting the nostalgic vibe. is it the september weather?
	11:38am northguineahills: @Carmichael: you poor bastard (my younger brothers are twins, and I remember the various double strollers)
	11:39am Joe McG: @Timbk: I love autumn, I can't wait!
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: Carmichael, snap. Have you got a new pup yet? An old friend lost his best friend last year but it looks like he has found another (black lab) happy again.
	👻 11:39am YETI BOB: I won't have any of this melancholic "end of summer" talk. No. I simply won't hear it. Autumn Equinox is not until Sep 22 - that's FIVE WEEKS away.
	11:40am paul: You switched to a Canadian theme, Joe.
	11:40am Joe McG: I like this low-fi version of "Circle Game" more than the album version with all those people singing in the background. @YB: It's coming, it's coming!!
	11:40am dano59: Is this from 2nd Fret Sessions?
	11:40am Timbk: Me too Joe, September is my fav month.
	11:40am PaulRobeson1920: There is a season turn, turn, turn. & a time for every...
	11:41am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe I was going to suggest circle game two weeks ago! Now I have “happy tears” as my daughter Rose calls them, sitting on the picnic blanket w/ my kinderlach :.)
	11:41am Carmichael: Not yet, UK Brian. We have some life decisions coming up (retirement, possible move, etc ..), so we're holding off.
	11:41am Terr in DE: 5 weeks, but the weather sings a Doors song
	11:41am Jeezuseffinchrist: this reminds me of that Jessica Pratt song, Nightfaces. If you can find it, it would blend with this carnival theme and sound beautifully
	11:42am prudy: I'm with you Yeti Bob...
	11:42am PaulRobeson1920: “At night we swim the laghin’ sea” @Terr
	11:42am Walt: I confess I hadn't heard Buffy Sainte-Marie's version of "The Circle Game" before seeing "Once upon a Time in Hollywood. Whoever's decision it was to speed up the tempo and add the great instrumental arrangement made it a much better version than any of Joni's versions IMHO. (No disrespect to Joni of course, just props to Buffy).
	11:42am Krys O.: That's beautiful, Rachel.
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: Carmichael, our twins are 34, seems like only yesterday.
	11:42am paul: And now we're off to Scotland. :}
	11:43am steveo: listening quietly today;; wonderful show!
	11:43am Joe McG: Happy tears are the best tears!
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: Is 22nd Sept, Dance like an Equinox Day?
	11:43am Joe B: ann arbor mich. to be specific re sugar mountain
	11:43am Andrew_in_WI: "Spinning Wheel" by B, S & T.
	11:43am Timbk: Great Donovan song
	11:44am Terr in DE: wow , i m precognitent today, i ll have to play a daily number
	11:45am Glorious Estephonic: <3 <3 <3 Love you Rachel Bo Bachel. I can't do anything but listen on Monday's because I'm in transit / landing mode for my 36 hour eldercare work shift.
	11:45am Carmichael: You have twins too, Brian?! Mine are just 23.
	11:45am Joe McG: @JoeB: Should I have played the earlier version from Archives? Is it as good?
	11:45am Ian: Fun fact: Joni wrote The Circle Game after hearing Neil sing Sugar Mountain. If you want to go full bore Canadian bootleg, play Carnival in Kenora by Joni.
	11:45am Glorious Estephonic: To listen to Surface Noise outside -- wow that is the life.
	👻 11:45am Hughie Considine: My twins are 16. Happy to be in such a good twin-friendly crowd.
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Donovan both avant & indispensable in 1966.
	11:46am Joe B: no this is the definitive version. the earlier one is him playing an unplugged electric guitar! not as good!
	11:46am paul: When I was Ubering, I pick up a young man named Donovan who lived on Atlantis Dr. (in Holiday, FL). I asked him if he was aware of the song and he hadn't!
	11:46am Carmichael: YESS!
	11:46am northguineahills: @Rev Rabbit: & 2020...
	11:46am steveo: my spouse listens to the gordon lightfoot channel on spotify and the only neil that shows up there is heart of gold; disappointing
	11:46am Jason from Houston: OH MY GOSH...
	11:46am Joe McG: We might not have time for Belle and Sebastian, guys, sorry - I forgot that it was 7 minutes long.
	11:47am Joe McG: @Joe B: Whew!
	11:47am Joe B: the 1965 one is historically significant as it is from the failed elektra audition. but that's about it, i.m.o.
	11:47am Jason from Houston: Just play this song over and over...
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Juniper for the finale, Joe McG?
	11:47am Andrew_in_WI: It does feel like end of summer... I drank my first octoberfest beer of the year yesterday.
	11:48am phat: Apparently Richard Thompson is my new thing. I'm ok with that.
	11:48am Rachel Bo Bachel: Carmichael not doubles, just a 2-y.o. and a 4-y.o. It was a good version of Circle Game Joe! This set has been such a gift. Thank you!!
	11:49am Beast of Boonton: "Carnival" is a song written and recorded by Eric Clapton for his 1976 studio album No Reason to Cry.
	11:49am bnowb: Great show today Joe. Thank you Have a great day everyone.
	11:49am paul: I saw RT at the House of Blues in Chicago. Great show! A few years back.
	11:49am Rachel Bo Bachel: I would take an encore of tunnel of love :D
	11:50am SeanG: Bruce rules!
	11:50am Carmichael: OK, I'm out.
	11:50am yerfriendpaul: Yeah, it’s long. But that’s part of the reason why it’s so good. Thanks anyway Joe!
	11:50am carrots: great show bravo!
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: We have all those beautiful Autumn coloured leaves to look forward to. Joe. Great show as ever.
	11:50am Melissa: GREAT set!!!! Thank you so much!! And btw- I love this Springsteen song.
	11:51am Colleen: Love it....
	11:51am phat: Well shit, this version of Tunnel of Love is unexpected.
	11:51am Rachel Bo Bachel: omg I officially love you Joe!!! This one is for WoodsofNH if he’s listening
	11:51am Itzall Hear: You, Me and all that stuff we're so scared of" Brilliant, poignant...damn this guy's good.
	11:51am Terr in DE: I add Great Show, as well
	11:52am (another) Patrick in Hoboken: I don't care what anyone says. One of my favorite Bruce songs, especially when he and Patty sing into the mic together in the latter part of the song during live performances
	11:52am yerfriendpaul: I know this is risky mentioning this but I always thought that Natalie Merchant Carnival song was nice
	11:52am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe and everyone!
	👻 11:52am Webhamster Henry: Joe McG's show - the little County Fair of the air.
	11:52am Glorious Estephonic: Rachel Bo Bachel + Bruce = <3 <3
	11:52am WoodsOfNH: @Rachel Bo Bachel...Ha! I was happy to find this and send it to Joe. Cool version. Only time he played it like this.
	👻 11:52am 12539: Thanks, Joe! Be careful out there and keep on boinging.
	11:52am Joe B: wow great
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe -- loved it today. Wish I could have chatted more, but BLARGH is winning the day so far. Be well, all. See you at the Next Joe!
	11:53am Itzall Hear: He SO wants to YODEL...Yodel, Bruce, you can do it!!!
	11:53am paul: Banana Fana Fo Fachel.
	11:53am Mick: Whoa, this version of Tunnel! Whole other song.
	11:53am phat: Bruce's yodeling is something else. Does anyone ever talk about that?
	11:53am JG: Joe where is this Springsteen from?
	11:53am Lizardner Dave 2: Great show Joe, thanks!
	11:53am gilmour: New Jersey, I believe
	11:54am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning, Joe!
	11:54am JG: @ Gilmore haha. but seriously where is the performance recorded?
	11:55am WoodsOfNH: Tunnel was from August 3, 2005 Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, MI
	11:55am JG: @ Woods thank you!
	11:55am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:56am paul: Palisades Park would ruin the moon. Please don't.
	11:56am paul: mood
	11:57am Jason from Houston: Such a fine set... Thank you!
	11:57am Rachel Bo Bachel: Paul that’s me :D yerfriendpaul I think Natalie merchant has plenty of indie/alternative cred, no need to fear offending the uber cool crowd! Plus yes it’s a lovely song :)
	11:57am βrian: If you're inclined to lean to Irene, her show is coming up on the hour: wfmu.org...
	11:58am phat: Holy hell that Cocteau Twins/Faye Wong is a revelation. Wow. Made my day.

	2:43pm Joe McG: @NJD: Very happy to play the advance and looking forward to the full LP! I hope you pecked out a bit of "Antmusic" for AA!
	12:46pm Daniel K: I'm listening to this a couple days late but after that pirate/seaman/island set I'm convinced that Joe is the literal best DJ ever. So nice work, I guess.
