	11:01am Squints: Let me set the tone for the interview at the outset: WOOOOOOOOOOO.
	11:02am Woo: I'll second that tone. Good morning.

	11:04am clarke: i'm drinkin' gin and you can't come in
	11:05am Cooh John: Good golly it's Michael Shelley #1 hits time.
	11:05am Squints: hey now POW POW POW
	11:05am Mailman Tom: Little Richard and I share the same birthday. DECEMBER 5th!
	11:05am mariano: Hey Michael, Crew, all! "All Around the World" has the same structure as a famous Mardi Gras song.
	11:06am Handy Haversack: Hey, Mariano! That cocktail looks nice, but I'm not sure where to acquire the various syrups.
	11:06am Greg from ZONE 5: The GOAT. Full stop, end of discussion thank you goodnight.
	11:07am mariano: Hey there, Handy! Met any interesting pumpkins lately?
	11:07am PaulRobeson1920: Goood Mornningg Ya’ll! Beautiful warm autumn day in NYC!
	11:07am P-90: Adjective of the Week: “Little Richardiest”
	11:09am Squints: Linus Van Pelt: "Of all the Little Richards I know, he's the Little Richardiest."
	11:09am Handy Haversack: They say if you invoke Paddleface's name three times, he appears in the pumpkin patch ...
	11:09am clarke: hit Landry's on the lakefront this past week - red snappah, Mariano!! still haven't made it to Charles Seafood, yet. will get there.
	11:09am ken krimstein: i saw him with his entourage waiting for a car at the detroit airport. i was struck by how TALL he was -- i guess that's why they called him "little" -- like bald guys were called 'curly? hmmm...
	11:09am Corey: Morning Michael and glisteners! Looking forward to the interview. My wife bought me a copy of the Life and Times of Little Richard autobiography. One of the dirtiest books I've ever read! Like randomly pick a page to read and find an X rated story.
	11:10am Listener Baby: Sounds like a Ronny Dawson song we all know.
	11:10am Woo: My cousin worked at Lupo's in Providence where Little Richard was playing. She asked him to sign something. He would but only if she prayed with him. So they stood by the cigarette machine and prayed together.
	11:10am Juke Joint Jonny: Yikes.
	11:11am morphe': First saw Little Richard (Film) when Let The Good Times Roll came out 1973 at the age of 12.. we were all kind of happily stunned and confused....
	11:11am Joe R.: @handy yeah, that’s a bit of a challenge although they’re relatively easy to make, assuming you can find passion fruit (or purée)
	11:12am Juke Joint Jonny: This continues to waver between great and ill-advised
	11:12am clarke: have played lupo's quite a few times, i think i can figure out who your cousin is Woo
	11:13am PaulRobeson1920: If you open up your heart? See what I mean
	11:13am Squints: All that George demo stuff from that period is just so neat stripped down like that.
	11:13am Frank In Queens: Good morning from the office!
	11:13am PaulRobeson1920: You don’t need a passsport! : )
	11:13am Dennis: One of my favorite GH records. Where’s this version from - a legit release?
	11:13am PaulRobeson1920: Always was and will be, baby!
	11:14am clarke: from the not-office: mawnin' frank!
	11:15am morphe': must run out= bank and beer and corn for Elote.... Was there no Michael, Michael, Michael..... intro this am or was I spacing????
	11:15am Squints: Dennis, about the time of the Scorsese doc there was an "Early Takes" comp that I think is legit.
	11:16am Dennis: ATMP would really be a great candidate for the deconstruct-reconstruct remix deal
	11:16am Dennis: Thanks, Squints!
	11:17am Michael Shelley: I think there was
	11:17am Squints: Early this year or maybe late last year the lateest Deer Tick record has a nice cover of Stig O'Hara's "Run Of The Mill."
	11:18am Woo: @clarke, I had more than one religious experience at Lupo's but they did not involve praying. Although I would pray with Little Richard if he asked.
	11:19am Dennis: Another fave there, Squints - great lyric
	11:20am Mister Dobalina: Gosh, just came over from listening to Double Dip Recess & now this other great show. Whoa, momma! Love me the 'FMU...
	11:20am Roberto: What was the name of that song? You're Meshuggah?
	11:20am TDK60: What's shakin', Michael?!
	11:21am Squints: TDK60: Nothin' but the leaves on the trees.
	11:21am clarke: u know what is odd (and sad) about Lupo's is that i never got to go to a show as an audience member - despite some killer bills, there.
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Hey, Frank! TDK60! Long time no see! Hope all is well with you!
	11:22am Mister Dobalina: It is that time of the year...so, yeah...leaves..shakin'...
	11:22am Squints: Roberto, you're thinking of the Mel Brooks cover.
	11:22am Roberto: Oh yeah, duh.
	11:22am Mister Dobalina: Handy, are you following me around?
	11:23am TDK60: Hi Handy, thanks fer askin' 'bout me yesterday! Computer died 2 wks ago. Just got a new one.
	11:24am clarke: The Ostrich, here, has pulled his head out of the sand for the big shew - but, i may go back in when things inevitably git political. will still be listening. but, not reading.
	11:24am Therese: This song is SO GOOD!
	11:25am clarke: inDEED!
	11:25am Handy Haversack: Ah, glad it's nothing more serious, TDK60! Happy to see you back on the boards. Mister D, you just have excellent taste in hangouts!
	11:25am StringOFperils: Here for starburst of pure unadulterated fun!
	11:25am Frank In Queens: Hi Handy and all!
	11:26am Therese: I would like the recipe for Jon from Milwaukee's quarantine cocktail, please.
	11:26am clarke: how's the office frank?
	11:26am Bob: God, this Redd Kross record. Still.
	11:26am Gordon FM: Too early for power pop for me. Dang.
	11:28am Biba McLurex: A present to the world. Agreed, Michael
	11:29am clarke: wow, that break with the 12-string acoustic and the psychedelic electric was stunning!
	11:29am mariano: Hey clarke (@11:09)! I've been lazy about going out too, haven't been to Charles in months. Just had my first dozen chargrilled in months last week at Desire Oyster Bar in the Quarter where my cousin works, and my first red beans from Melba's the other day ($4.99 on Mondays for a ton of food).
	11:30am Joe R.: @therese I posted the link up top—enjoy!
	11:30am clarke: i have the 8-track of this (somewhere). nice, Mariano!!
	11:32am George in WO: The Velvet Underground once opened for the Myddle Class at Summit High School. It was VU's first gig I think.
	11:32am Therese: I just noticed that Jon had already posted a link to his cocktail recipe. Thanks, Jon!
	11:32am Squints: Saw Carl Perkins with the Big Al iteration of NRBQ in 1979 or 1980 at the Hartford Agora (maybe Stage West at the time). He played a set, then joined them midway through theirs for five or six numbers. Real, real gone.
	11:32am clarke: oh, also Mariano: had a SWELL chicken parm poboy at R&O's in bucktown last week!! they don't have waitresses, but the food is still great.
	11:32am Gordon FM: Clarkles
	11:33am clarke: hello golden!!
	11:33am Handy Haversack: $783 left -- we can make it today! pledge.wfmu.org...
	11:34am Gordon FM: Nice to see you in church, maestro!
	11:35am Frank In Queens: @clarke, the office is lousy today.
	11:35am clarke: oh - we're gonna do this now? ok... saw charlie kaufman's latest and CANNOT recommend. Thinking Of Ending It - one of those cases where the title is also the review.
	11:35am johnk77: nice work selecter/skeletons interthingie research indicates lupo's existed in 3 different locations a dive bar with a fairly amazing schedule of locals & national acts was lupo's #1 until 1988
	11:35am Frank In Queens: Apparently there are long lines for the first day of early voting in NY this morning!
	11:35am Handy Haversack: We have been watching new and newish horror movies. I recommend Possessor, but it's extremely violent and might disturb some viewers. The Wolf of Snow Hollow and Sea Fever also both good!
	11:36am clarke: assuming there are other people in the office?
	11:36am Mister Dobalina: The little life of Big Richard.
	11:39am Bob: Wow! I caught that you played that secret NRBQ track last week. I had absolutely no idea it was a cover.
	11:39am Frank In Queens: @clarke, we’re doing employment testing today, it’s pretty much my group and the testers in the building.
	11:40am TDK60: I know a fella who's a 1-man band; guitar, voc., drums.
	11:40am Joe R.: thanks for the extended shout out Michael!
	11:40am Squints: Why do I want to keep singing along, "To my head. I was lyin' a hospital bed?"
	11:41am Ontario Jeff: Rock On Michael Shelley! You make Saturdays AMAZING!
	11:41am PaulRobeson1920: I wonder if Little Richard ever met Paul Robeson? Certainly they knew of one another.
	11:41am clarke: ouch!!! in GOOD movie news, i had my 2nd viewing of the 1950 version of To Have And Have Not - which is called The Breaking Point. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
	11:43am clarke: The Breaking Point was "banned" because of mccarthyism - it stars John Garfield - possibly his best role. it is a more faithful version of hemingway's novel.
	11:44am Baja Joe: Hidey Ho Michael! Been listening here all morning in Great Kills. Thanks for the tunes.
	11:44am Gordon FM: Back and forth btw The Greats and mediocre power pop. Love ya, Michael but I don’t get it. Little Richard makes me feel eternal joy, the power pop makes me want to mow the lawn! Balance, perhaps?
	11:45am PaulRobeson1920: Ho Ho Ho
	11:46am clarke: you don't have a lawn.
	11:46am PaulRobeson1920: Gotta LoVe WFMU!
	11:46am Michael Shelley: Well, obviously I don't think it's mediocre Gordon.
	11:47am Hubig Pie: My lawn be covered in snow so I no mow
	11:47am Squints: And he's right. It ain't. Want moar.
	11:47am Gordon FM: @Clarke you see my predicament then!
	11:48am clarke: it is all good - so can't agree.
	11:49am TDK60: Betcha such a track was fun to hear on old jukeboxes, which did have big bass sound.
	11:49am Eddy in Australia: @Gordon Why even bother chiming in with comments like that?
	11:49am Gordon FM: Keep on keeping on, Michael. I can deal.
	11:49am Michael in Montclair: Good Morning Michael, Juniper, the rest of the Shelley clan, WFMU skeleton crew, and all of my fellow listeners!
	11:50am clarke: 'allo eddy, been in the dunny?
	11:50am Handy Haversack: @Gordon, I recommend taking out your frustration by pledging $721. That'll show 'im!
	11:51am Michael Shelley: EDDY - what's the local time?
	11:51am clarke: Party Time!!!
	11:52am Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Nah, recovering from our Super Bowl, held earlier tonight @Michael Almost 3:00am
	11:52am Ross T.: If I have to take a side...Power Pop!
	11:52am TDK60: [little rock story] When I was about 12 I was at a private pool swimmin.' Snack bar had a jukebox. "From Me To You" by the Fab 4 came on with loud bass. I was floored.
	11:52am clarke: dang!! it's tomorrow already!
	11:53am Eddy in Australia: But it feels so much like yesterday!
	11:53am Gordon FM: @Handy I gave at the office. Took out my frustration by piping up!
	11:53am clarke: there are NO SIDES!! people gots ta realize...!!
	11:54am Squints: What clarke said. I'm a gourmand, not a gourmet. Moar everything. Well, mostly everything.
	11:55am Squints: I'm also a dog. <ears prick up> "Oh. My favorite." <ears prick up again> "Oh. My favorite." Ad infinitum.
	11:57am Eddy in Australia: By the way, Richmond (Tigers) beat Geelong (Cats) by 31 points. Great match. Australian Rules Football, in case yer wondering.
	11:58am TDK60: I figger those fellers practiced a bit before the session.. Ya think?
	11:59am Count Mikeula!: Shelley, you don't know what you're talking about...as usual!
	11:59am gf2002: Yes! More Jimmy and Speedy! Jimmy playing a 12-string tuned in 3rds on this one...far out stuff for that era
	11:59am morphe': Early voting starts today in NYC until Sunday 1 Nov, open tomorrow Sunday too.. find yer spot - may not be the same as yer normal location: http://voting.nyc/?
	12:00pm Daddy-o Dilly: So there are Aussies present? Do NOT tell me who won the AFL Grand Final! I'm gonna watch it as soon as Mike Shelly's program is over! This Yank loves the footy! Go Geelong Cats!
	12:00pm TDK60: Hola Morphe! You gonna be down at the L.E.S. garden today?
	12:00pm P-90: Nothing beats a good Insult Vampire, I always say.
	12:00pm Gordon FM: Guess I’m a segue and segment guy, not a duke’s mixture guy. Apologies if I rustled any feathers. IMO this show is entirely excellent barring the PP stragglers. </rant>
	12:01pm Bob: I hope Count Mikeula plays all the Halloween power pop records.
	12:01pm Squints: I'm always tickled by the shootin'-double-pistols Aussie football officials do to signal a score. Only official American sports have that ever came close to that kind of elan was Enrico Palazzo.
	12:02pm Listener Baby: Tell this Count Mikeula he'd better bring his pencils, water, glasses, a snack (preferably a crisp apple), some form of baked good, and decafe, or he's going to get chewed up and spit out.
	12:03pm Squints: Oh, here we go. WOOOOOOOOOO.
	12:03pm Eddy in Australia: Enjoy the match, Daddy-o! Where's the Associate Producer today?
	12:04pm Count Mikeula!: Baby, I do bite, but not apples!
	12:04pm TDK60: Eddy down under: I thought for a second you were talking about cricket but football isn't cricket.
	12:05pm Dennis Diken: yeah Mikey! hey everybody!
	12:05pm Eddy in Australia: @TDK60 Spoken like a true American! No, football ain't cricket.
	12:06pm morphe': TDK - I am in and out but yes I can open the garden today> We cannot share contact info here... What time might you come? Green Oasis next to/East of 368 East 8th Street... You can post later on whatever show is on if you are coming .. upon arrival - stand near the first gate by the cat mansion and yell Morphe' and I'll hear you... I'll check the Board(s)...
	12:06pm Pedro in Arlington: The US Postal Service will begin to heal when it issues a Little Richard stamp. And the DC Chamber of Commerce proudly points out that Keep a Knockin was recorded at a Washington radio station with the Upsetters, not the studio pros. And it's mostly a loop edit.
	12:07pm Listener Baby: You don't scare me, Fangy. Just bring your A game, and bring honor to these hallowed grounds. I'm watching you sucker.
	12:07pm TDK60: Morphe - I planned on a West Village trip around 5, so /might/ swing by East V. @ 3 PMish...
	12:08pm Count Mikeula!: I have 400+ years experience!
	12:09pm Listener Baby: Tell it to the judge. old man.
	12:10pm Handy Haversack: Oh, Michael, a thought from earlier: I'm going to spray our pumpkins down with cayenne. The squirrels don't like it.
	12:10pm Ross T.: Being out in 1940s Macon GA -- boggles the mind....
	12:11pm morphe': TDK - I'll be around from 3-4 for certain.... Green Oasis next to/East of 368 East 8th Street... You can post later on whatever show is on if you are coming .. upon arrival - stand near the first gate by the cat mansion and yell Morphe' and I'll hear you... Ave C/D, the 2nd Garden heading East, Not Fireman's Garden which is closer to C.
	12:12pm Squints: What if they're migratory squirrels from Louisiana?
	12:12pm mariano: "Tutti Frutti" originally had some pretty scandalous lyrics, especially for the day.
	12:12pm TDK60: Hasta luego Morphe. I only see internetwebs at home, no mobile stuff.
	12:12pm mariano: "Tutti frutti, loose booty..."
	12:12pm Eddy in Australia: @TDK/Morphe Does one of you live near 368 E 8th? I used to live at 354.
	12:13pm mariano: Bye morphe'!
	12:13pm listener Rey: Wow, does the dirty lyric Tutti Frutti exist anywhwere? I'd love to hear it
	12:14pm paul: How big an influence was Esquerita?
	12:16pm PaulRobeson1920: .... 11,000 wow
	12:16pm mariano: Rey: That I don't know, though I suspect there isn't a recording. Would be a real find.
	12:17pm Mister Dobalina: Wow, that is bananas.
	12:18pm paul: Would like to hear Pat Boone doing the dirty lyric version.
	12:18pm GListener MW: Incredible interview / details. I’ve got to read this. I never knew that the Michael Jackson Beatles purchase included LR’s songs
	12:18pm Squints: Wearing the spiked collar.
	12:18pm morphe': TDK - no problem.. 3-4pm ..stand near the first gate by the cat mansion and yell Morphe' and I'll hear you. Yeah Eddy - 30 years here and in the Garden on January 2021... 354 - are you a Super Model??? There was a time when it was full of skinny waifs.. It was like a clown car at the circus ... The door would open and 10-12-15 waifs would stream out...
	12:21pm BNowB_: I'm sorry I missed the part was Little Richard gay or anti gay or confused or all of the above. lol
	12:21pm morphe': TDK.. if you do not make it, do not fret ... I am around anyway...
	12:22pm PaulRobeson1920: Paul Robeson spoke and wrote about that shameful Jim Crow money dynamic... the incomes for families in the North compared to incomes for families the South and so on- 1955 Average income in the North 4,000 dollars a year, Average income for a Black Family in the south 500 dollars a year! I really do wonder if Richard and Paul ever met one another?
	12:23pm Eddy in Australia: @Morphe Wow, that's a long stretch. I'm definitely not a supermodel and I didn't see any when I lived there! Nice block, except for the cop shop across the street.
	12:25pm Daddy-o Dilly: I saw Little Richard play in St. Louis in 2001 at the Pageant, a big, beautiful theater. It was Chuck Berry's 75th birthday. Chuck played this concert on his birthday in his hometown with Little Richard and Duke Robilard as the warm-up acts. Chuck & Richard gave pretty decent performances. Chuck even spent all of ten minutes signing autographs after the show.
	12:25pm Alvy Singer: Thanks for the work Michael. Another great interview/guest and book to add to the collection.
	12:25pm morphe': Eddy - we are a Not-For-Profit Coop ... 26 of the 29 flats are great, lovely amazing neighbors.... A super special situation... OFF to vote!!!!
	12:25pm Corey: Great interview! Really enjoyed it.
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: Squints (12:12): My only weakness!
	12:27pm Hoboken Jack: Enjoyed that interview quite a lot, thank you Michael! Author seemed like a good guy and genuinely enthusiastic to learn about Richard's life.
	12:27pm Woo: Excellent interview.
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: winston!!!
	12:32pm dana: Dancing at the gym between sets
	12:34pm BNowB_: another AMAZING interview!!! What a treasure you are Michael Shelley!
	12:34pm Squints: I love how this song false ends multiple times.
	12:35pm Michael 98145: RIP, Slash Records Bob variety.com...
	12:36pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Thanks for the toe tappin’ tunes, Michael.
	12:36pm Montmaster J: Good Afternoon from a gray, dreary Mont! Was on a plane with Little Richard once. He was resplendent in a velour track suit while waiting to use the bathroom.
	12:37pm Michael Shelley: Awesome
	12:38pm Michael Shelley: BNOWB thanks for making my day
	12:38pm clarke: hey'd i win?!??
	12:39pm Michael Shelley: cds
	12:39pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Handy!!!
	12:40pm Dominick: yeeeeowp!
	12:40pm clarke: they said i won - them people
	12:41pm TDK60: Thanks for the show, with the Queen of Rock and Roll (as Leon Russell said).
	12:42pm clarke: hey --- you got that rocktobah thing goin' on?
	12:43pm Corey: Have to split, but had a blast. Thanks Michael and skeleton crew! Take care all.
	12:43pm gf2002: I have a feeling some of the Nashville pros had their Fender Twins or Deluxes hidden behind the walls of Peavey amps on those late 70's/early 80's appearances. Although James Brown had his band outfitted with Peavey too for a time...
	12:44pm PaulRobeson1920: Very interesting interview! Thanks for that! & the Sweet Jams!
	12:45pm gf2002: I sold my Peavey Nashville 400 a few years ago, great amp with a great clean tone but waaay too heavy to lug around in a sedan
	12:45pm Tim: Caught Richat a "lounge" show in Lake Tahoe. Heard a Little Richard imitator that I was drawn to....no imitation,,,the "rill thing" doing free shows during (I guess) a down period in his career ('71-72). He was fantastic...maybe 30 people in the lounge but he tore it up
	12:47pm clarke: when can i come pick up my cd's?
	12:48pm paul: No Esquerita today?
	12:49pm norske jersey boy: BUCKY !!! BUCKY !!! BUCKY !!!
	12:50pm KWilde: I might not have ever discovered Bucky w/o Michael Shelley
	12:51pm norske jersey boy: @KWilde meeeee too.
	12:51pm PaulRobeson1920: It Blows my mind that Little Richard was impoverished for so many years. Although I understand it was as a consequence of Jim Crowism
	12:52pm Handy Haversack: Another number one rocker, Michael! I really enjoyed the interview. Little Richard is both completely fascinating and always jamming! Thanks for all! And to Ruth in the Booth as well. Be well, all.
	12:53pm PaulRobeson1920: Thank you! Good stuff! Peace and LOVE ya’ll!
	12:54pm mariano: Thanks Michael, great show! Thanks as always to Ruth, take care everyone.
	12:55pm Montmaster J: He also co-wrote Kokomo. :) But those Mama and Papas record sound great.
	12:55pm paul: The 4-CD Complete Anthology of the Mamas and the Papas is a gem.
	12:55pm clarke: danke, all!! adios Rocktobaaaah!!
	12:57pm Dennis Diken: swell show Mikey! the Mamas & Papas had a name (it was a person's name) that they gave to the unique overtone that their harmony created when it blended a certain way on occasion! I forget what it was. maybe that's what's you're hearing in the reverb?
	12:58pm clarke: floyd soileau did original of fine fine fine
	12:59pm paul: Rockpile did a great version.
	12:59pm StringOFperils: Ha ha. Fantastically shameless. I love it!!
	12:59pm norske jersey boy: Thanks Michael. Will gladly pay $0.15 more for pizza, thanks.
	1:00pm clarke: ever get the feeling u been richarded?
	1:00pm Michael Shelley: RIGHT!?
	1:00pm juan: Wonderful show as usual Michael. Thanks!
	1:00pm Michael Shelley: THANKS ALL
	1:24pm Bob: I'm having a hard time buying the Michael Jackson story. I hope it's true.
	1:33pm BNowB_: Why no believe Bob? I thought it was a beautiful story. I guess I'm gullible and try to believe the best in everyone.
	1:33pm BNowB_: I been Richarded lol hahaha

	11:05am Mailman Tom: Little Richard and I share the same birthday. DECEMBER 5th!
	11:05am mariano: Hey Michael, Crew, all! "All Around the World" has the same structure as a famous Mardi Gras song.
	11:06am Handy Haversack: Hey, Mariano! That cocktail looks nice, but I'm not sure where to acquire the various syrups.
	11:06am Greg from ZONE 5: The GOAT. Full stop, end of discussion thank you goodnight.
	11:07am mariano: Hey there, Handy! Met any interesting pumpkins lately?
	11:07am PaulRobeson1920: Goood Mornningg Ya’ll! Beautiful warm autumn day in NYC!
	11:07am P-90: Adjective of the Week: “Little Richardiest”
	11:09am Squints: Linus Van Pelt: "Of all the Little Richards I know, he's the Little Richardiest."
	11:09am Handy Haversack: They say if you invoke Paddleface's name three times, he appears in the pumpkin patch ...
	11:09am clarke: hit Landry's on the lakefront this past week - red snappah, Mariano!! still haven't made it to Charles Seafood, yet. will get there.
	11:09am ken krimstein: i saw him with his entourage waiting for a car at the detroit airport. i was struck by how TALL he was -- i guess that's why they called him "little" -- like bald guys were called 'curly? hmmm...
	11:09am Corey: Morning Michael and glisteners! Looking forward to the interview. My wife bought me a copy of the Life and Times of Little Richard autobiography. One of the dirtiest books I've ever read! Like randomly pick a page to read and find an X rated story.
	11:10am Listener Baby: Sounds like a Ronny Dawson song we all know.
	11:10am Woo: My cousin worked at Lupo's in Providence where Little Richard was playing. She asked him to sign something. He would but only if she prayed with him. So they stood by the cigarette machine and prayed together.
	11:10am Juke Joint Jonny: Yikes.
	11:11am morphe': First saw Little Richard (Film) when Let The Good Times Roll came out 1973 at the age of 12.. we were all kind of happily stunned and confused....
	11:11am Joe R.: @handy yeah, that’s a bit of a challenge although they’re relatively easy to make, assuming you can find passion fruit (or purée)
	11:12am Juke Joint Jonny: This continues to waver between great and ill-advised
	11:12am clarke: have played lupo's quite a few times, i think i can figure out who your cousin is Woo
	11:13am PaulRobeson1920: If you open up your heart? See what I mean
	11:13am Squints: All that George demo stuff from that period is just so neat stripped down like that.
	11:13am Frank In Queens: Good morning from the office!
	11:13am PaulRobeson1920: You don’t need a passsport! : )
	11:13am Dennis: One of my favorite GH records. Where’s this version from - a legit release?
	11:13am PaulRobeson1920: Always was and will be, baby!
	11:14am clarke: from the not-office: mawnin' frank!
	11:15am morphe': must run out= bank and beer and corn for Elote.... Was there no Michael, Michael, Michael..... intro this am or was I spacing????
	11:15am Squints: Dennis, about the time of the Scorsese doc there was an "Early Takes" comp that I think is legit.
	11:16am Dennis: ATMP would really be a great candidate for the deconstruct-reconstruct remix deal
	11:16am Dennis: Thanks, Squints!
	11:17am Michael Shelley: I think there was
	11:17am Squints: Early this year or maybe late last year the lateest Deer Tick record has a nice cover of Stig O'Hara's "Run Of The Mill."
	11:18am Woo: @clarke, I had more than one religious experience at Lupo's but they did not involve praying. Although I would pray with Little Richard if he asked.
	11:19am Dennis: Another fave there, Squints - great lyric
	11:20am Mister Dobalina: Gosh, just came over from listening to Double Dip Recess & now this other great show. Whoa, momma! Love me the 'FMU...
	11:20am Roberto: What was the name of that song? You're Meshuggah?
	11:20am TDK60: What's shakin', Michael?!
	11:21am Squints: TDK60: Nothin' but the leaves on the trees.
	11:21am clarke: u know what is odd (and sad) about Lupo's is that i never got to go to a show as an audience member - despite some killer bills, there.
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Hey, Frank! TDK60! Long time no see! Hope all is well with you!
	11:22am Mister Dobalina: It is that time of the year...so, yeah...leaves..shakin'...
	11:22am Squints: Roberto, you're thinking of the Mel Brooks cover.
	11:22am Roberto: Oh yeah, duh.
	11:22am Mister Dobalina: Handy, are you following me around?
	11:23am TDK60: Hi Handy, thanks fer askin' 'bout me yesterday! Computer died 2 wks ago. Just got a new one.
	11:24am clarke: The Ostrich, here, has pulled his head out of the sand for the big shew - but, i may go back in when things inevitably git political. will still be listening. but, not reading.
	11:24am Therese: This song is SO GOOD!
	11:25am clarke: inDEED!
	11:25am Handy Haversack: Ah, glad it's nothing more serious, TDK60! Happy to see you back on the boards. Mister D, you just have excellent taste in hangouts!
	11:25am StringOFperils: Here for starburst of pure unadulterated fun!
	11:25am Frank In Queens: Hi Handy and all!
	11:26am Therese: I would like the recipe for Jon from Milwaukee's quarantine cocktail, please.
	11:26am clarke: how's the office frank?
	11:26am Bob: God, this Redd Kross record. Still.
	11:26am Gordon FM: Too early for power pop for me. Dang.
	11:28am Biba McLurex: A present to the world. Agreed, Michael
	11:29am clarke: wow, that break with the 12-string acoustic and the psychedelic electric was stunning!
	11:29am mariano: Hey clarke (@11:09)! I've been lazy about going out too, haven't been to Charles in months. Just had my first dozen chargrilled in months last week at Desire Oyster Bar in the Quarter where my cousin works, and my first red beans from Melba's the other day ($4.99 on Mondays for a ton of food).
	11:30am Joe R.: @therese I posted the link up top—enjoy!
	11:30am clarke: i have the 8-track of this (somewhere). nice, Mariano!!
	11:32am George in WO: The Velvet Underground once opened for the Myddle Class at Summit High School. It was VU's first gig I think.
	11:32am Therese: I just noticed that Jon had already posted a link to his cocktail recipe. Thanks, Jon!
	11:32am Squints: Saw Carl Perkins with the Big Al iteration of NRBQ in 1979 or 1980 at the Hartford Agora (maybe Stage West at the time). He played a set, then joined them midway through theirs for five or six numbers. Real, real gone.
	11:32am clarke: oh, also Mariano: had a SWELL chicken parm poboy at R&O's in bucktown last week!! they don't have waitresses, but the food is still great.
	11:32am Gordon FM: Clarkles
	11:33am clarke: hello golden!!
	11:33am Handy Haversack: $783 left -- we can make it today! pledge.wfmu.org...
	11:34am Gordon FM: Nice to see you in church, maestro!
	11:35am Frank In Queens: @clarke, the office is lousy today.
	11:35am clarke: oh - we're gonna do this now? ok... saw charlie kaufman's latest and CANNOT recommend. Thinking Of Ending It - one of those cases where the title is also the review.
	11:35am johnk77: nice work selecter/skeletons interthingie research indicates lupo's existed in 3 different locations a dive bar with a fairly amazing schedule of locals & national acts was lupo's #1 until 1988
	11:35am Frank In Queens: Apparently there are long lines for the first day of early voting in NY this morning!
	11:35am Handy Haversack: We have been watching new and newish horror movies. I recommend Possessor, but it's extremely violent and might disturb some viewers. The Wolf of Snow Hollow and Sea Fever also both good!
	11:36am clarke: assuming there are other people in the office?
	11:36am Mister Dobalina: The little life of Big Richard.
	11:39am Bob: Wow! I caught that you played that secret NRBQ track last week. I had absolutely no idea it was a cover.
	11:39am Frank In Queens: @clarke, we’re doing employment testing today, it’s pretty much my group and the testers in the building.
	11:40am TDK60: I know a fella who's a 1-man band; guitar, voc., drums.
	11:40am Joe R.: thanks for the extended shout out Michael!
	11:40am Squints: Why do I want to keep singing along, "To my head. I was lyin' a hospital bed?"
	11:41am Ontario Jeff: Rock On Michael Shelley! You make Saturdays AMAZING!
	11:41am PaulRobeson1920: I wonder if Little Richard ever met Paul Robeson? Certainly they knew of one another.
	11:41am clarke: ouch!!! in GOOD movie news, i had my 2nd viewing of the 1950 version of To Have And Have Not - which is called The Breaking Point. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
	11:43am clarke: The Breaking Point was "banned" because of mccarthyism - it stars John Garfield - possibly his best role. it is a more faithful version of hemingway's novel.
	11:44am Baja Joe: Hidey Ho Michael! Been listening here all morning in Great Kills. Thanks for the tunes.
	11:44am Gordon FM: Back and forth btw The Greats and mediocre power pop. Love ya, Michael but I don’t get it. Little Richard makes me feel eternal joy, the power pop makes me want to mow the lawn! Balance, perhaps?
	11:45am PaulRobeson1920: Ho Ho Ho
	11:46am clarke: you don't have a lawn.
	11:46am PaulRobeson1920: Gotta LoVe WFMU!
	11:46am Michael Shelley: Well, obviously I don't think it's mediocre Gordon.
	11:47am Hubig Pie: My lawn be covered in snow so I no mow
	11:47am Squints: And he's right. It ain't. Want moar.
	11:47am Gordon FM: @Clarke you see my predicament then!
	11:48am clarke: it is all good - so can't agree.
	11:49am TDK60: Betcha such a track was fun to hear on old jukeboxes, which did have big bass sound.
	11:49am Eddy in Australia: @Gordon Why even bother chiming in with comments like that?
	11:49am Gordon FM: Keep on keeping on, Michael. I can deal.
	11:49am Michael in Montclair: Good Morning Michael, Juniper, the rest of the Shelley clan, WFMU skeleton crew, and all of my fellow listeners!
	11:50am clarke: 'allo eddy, been in the dunny?
	11:50am Handy Haversack: @Gordon, I recommend taking out your frustration by pledging $721. That'll show 'im!
	11:51am Michael Shelley: EDDY - what's the local time?
	11:51am clarke: Party Time!!!
	11:52am Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Nah, recovering from our Super Bowl, held earlier tonight @Michael Almost 3:00am
	11:52am Ross T.: If I have to take a side...Power Pop!
	11:52am TDK60: [little rock story] When I was about 12 I was at a private pool swimmin.' Snack bar had a jukebox. "From Me To You" by the Fab 4 came on with loud bass. I was floored.
	11:52am clarke: dang!! it's tomorrow already!
	11:53am Eddy in Australia: But it feels so much like yesterday!
	11:53am Gordon FM: @Handy I gave at the office. Took out my frustration by piping up!
	11:53am clarke: there are NO SIDES!! people gots ta realize...!!
	11:54am Squints: What clarke said. I'm a gourmand, not a gourmet. Moar everything. Well, mostly everything.
	11:55am Squints: I'm also a dog. <ears prick up> "Oh. My favorite." <ears prick up again> "Oh. My favorite." Ad infinitum.
	11:57am Eddy in Australia: By the way, Richmond (Tigers) beat Geelong (Cats) by 31 points. Great match. Australian Rules Football, in case yer wondering.
	11:58am TDK60: I figger those fellers practiced a bit before the session.. Ya think?
	11:59am Count Mikeula!: Shelley, you don't know what you're talking about...as usual!
	11:59am gf2002: Yes! More Jimmy and Speedy! Jimmy playing a 12-string tuned in 3rds on this one...far out stuff for that era

	12:00pm P-90: Nothing beats a good Insult Vampire, I always say.
	12:00pm Gordon FM: Guess I’m a segue and segment guy, not a duke’s mixture guy. Apologies if I rustled any feathers. IMO this show is entirely excellent barring the PP stragglers. </rant>
	12:01pm Bob: I hope Count Mikeula plays all the Halloween power pop records.
	12:01pm Squints: I'm always tickled by the shootin'-double-pistols Aussie football officials do to signal a score. Only official American sports have that ever came close to that kind of elan was Enrico Palazzo.
	12:02pm Listener Baby: Tell this Count Mikeula he'd better bring his pencils, water, glasses, a snack (preferably a crisp apple), some form of baked good, and decafe, or he's going to get chewed up and spit out.
	12:03pm Squints: Oh, here we go. WOOOOOOOOOO.
	12:03pm Eddy in Australia: Enjoy the match, Daddy-o! Where's the Associate Producer today?
	12:04pm Count Mikeula!: Baby, I do bite, but not apples!
	12:04pm TDK60: Eddy down under: I thought for a second you were talking about cricket but football isn't cricket.
	12:05pm Dennis Diken: yeah Mikey! hey everybody!
	12:05pm Eddy in Australia: @TDK60 Spoken like a true American! No, football ain't cricket.

You can post later on whatever show is on if you are coming .. upon arrival - stand near the first gate by the cat mansion and yell Morphe' and I'll hear you... I'll check the Board(s)...
	12:06pm Pedro in Arlington: The US Postal Service will begin to heal when it issues a Little Richard stamp. And the DC Chamber of Commerce proudly points out that Keep a Knockin was recorded at a Washington radio station with the Upsetters, not the studio pros. And it's mostly a loop edit.
	12:07pm Listener Baby: You don't scare me, Fangy. Just bring your A game, and bring honor to these hallowed grounds. I'm watching you sucker.
	12:07pm TDK60: Morphe - I planned on a West Village trip around 5, so /might/ swing by East V. @ 3 PMish...

Ave C/D, the 2nd Garden heading East, Not Fireman's Garden which is closer to C.
	12:12pm Squints: What if they're migratory squirrels from Louisiana?
	12:12pm mariano: "Tutti Frutti" originally had some pretty scandalous lyrics, especially for the day.
	12:12pm TDK60: Hasta luego Morphe. I only see internetwebs at home, no mobile stuff.
	12:12pm mariano: "Tutti frutti, loose booty..."
	12:12pm Eddy in Australia: @TDK/Morphe Does one of you live near 368 E 8th? I used to live at 354.
	12:13pm mariano: Bye morphe'!
	12:13pm listener Rey: Wow, does the dirty lyric Tutti Frutti exist anywhwere? I'd love to hear it
	12:14pm paul: How big an influence was Esquerita?
	12:16pm PaulRobeson1920: .... 11,000 wow
	12:16pm mariano: Rey: That I don't know, though I suspect there isn't a recording. Would be a real find.
	12:17pm Mister Dobalina: Wow, that is bananas.
	12:18pm paul: Would like to hear Pat Boone doing the dirty lyric version.
	12:18pm GListener MW: Incredible interview / details. I’ve got to read this. I never knew that the Michael Jackson Beatles purchase included LR’s songs
	12:18pm Squints: Wearing the spiked collar.
	12:18pm morphe': TDK - no problem.. 3-4pm ..stand near the first gate by the cat mansion and yell Morphe' and I'll hear you. Yeah Eddy - 30 years here and in the Garden on January 2021... 354 - are you a Super Model??? There was a time when it was full of skinny waifs.. It was like a clown car at the circus ... The door would open and 10-12-15 waifs would stream out...
	12:21pm BNowB_: I'm sorry I missed the part was Little Richard gay or anti gay or confused or all of the above. lol
	12:21pm morphe': TDK.. if you do not make it, do not fret ... I am around anyway...
	12:22pm PaulRobeson1920: Paul Robeson spoke and wrote about that shameful Jim Crow money dynamic... the incomes for families in the North compared to incomes for families the South and so on- 1955 Average income in the North 4,000 dollars a year, Average income for a Black Family in the south 500 dollars a year! I really do wonder if Richard and Paul ever met one another?
	12:23pm Eddy in Australia: @Morphe Wow, that's a long stretch. I'm definitely not a supermodel and I didn't see any when I lived there! Nice block, except for the cop shop across the street.
	12:25pm Daddy-o Dilly: I saw Little Richard play in St. Louis in 2001 at the Pageant, a big, beautiful theater. It was Chuck Berry's 75th birthday. Chuck played this concert on his birthday in his hometown with Little Richard and Duke Robilard as the warm-up acts. Chuck & Richard gave pretty decent performances. Chuck even spent all of ten minutes signing autographs after the show.
	12:25pm Alvy Singer: Thanks for the work Michael. Another great interview/guest and book to add to the collection.

	12:43pm Corey: Have to split, but had a blast. Thanks Michael and skeleton crew! Take care all.
	12:43pm gf2002: I have a feeling some of the Nashville pros had their Fender Twins or Deluxes hidden behind the walls of Peavey amps on those late 70's/early 80's appearances. Although James Brown had his band outfitted with Peavey too for a time...
	12:44pm PaulRobeson1920: Very interesting interview! Thanks for that! & the Sweet Jams!
	12:45pm gf2002: I sold my Peavey Nashville 400 a few years ago, great amp with a great clean tone but waaay too heavy to lug around in a sedan
	12:45pm Tim: Caught Richat a "lounge" show in Lake Tahoe. Heard a Little Richard imitator that I was drawn to....no imitation,,,the "rill thing" doing free shows during (I guess) a down period in his career ('71-72). He was fantastic...maybe 30 people in the lounge but he tore it up
	12:47pm clarke: when can i come pick up my cd's?
	12:48pm paul: No Esquerita today?
	12:49pm norske jersey boy: BUCKY !!! BUCKY !!! BUCKY !!!

	12:51pm norske jersey boy: @KWilde meeeee too.
	12:51pm PaulRobeson1920: It Blows my mind that Little Richard was impoverished for so many years. Although I understand it was as a consequence of Jim Crowism
	12:52pm Handy Haversack: Another number one rocker, Michael! I really enjoyed the interview. Little Richard is both completely fascinating and always jamming! Thanks for all! And to Ruth in the Booth as well. Be well, all.
	12:53pm PaulRobeson1920: Thank you! Good stuff! Peace and LOVE ya’ll!
	12:54pm mariano: Thanks Michael, great show! Thanks as always to Ruth, take care everyone.
	12:55pm Montmaster J: He also co-wrote Kokomo. :) But those Mama and Papas record sound great.
	12:55pm paul: The 4-CD Complete Anthology of the Mamas and the Papas is a gem.
	12:55pm clarke: danke, all!! adios Rocktobaaaah!!
	12:57pm Dennis Diken: swell show Mikey! the Mamas & Papas had a name (it was a person's name) that they gave to the unique overtone that their harmony created when it blended a certain way on occasion! I forget what it was. maybe that's what's you're hearing in the reverb?
	12:58pm clarke: floyd soileau did original of fine fine fine
	12:59pm paul: Rockpile did a great version.
