	11:03am Listener Robert: Did I ever say how I had my friends' 8YO son in my car where we listened to Irwin and Ms. Boule's Incorrect Music segment, and then your opening theme came on, and the boy laughed at the xylophone bits, thinking (with a lead-in like that) that they were supposed to be funny?

	11:04am Bob Brainen: Heywm fromdumont!

	11:11am Bob Brainen: Hey Artie, thanks!
	🥁 11:12am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco: nonsense away!
	11:12am Franco Twinkie: Bob! I was going to try and get out of the house early but then Chresti said "Aren't you going to listen to Bob?"
	🥁 11:13am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): my life pretty much revolves around the WFMU schedule
	11:13am dan: The Hollies are one of the few British Invasion bands along with The Rolling Stones and The Who that are still around and performing.
	11:13am Bob Brainen: Franco, thanks to chresti for the reminder! With the app. the show goes anywhere you do!
	🥁 11:13am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco, you just need to get a portable device and bring WFMU with you everywere!
	11:14am Gerry from Miami: DECK THE AIRWAVES WITH HARMONIC HOLLIES, FA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA!!
	🥁 11:14am wmfromdumont: Tight band, tight harmonies. And they could pull it off live as well.
	11:14am Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami!
	11:15am Bob Brainen: wmfromdumont, well put! They had it all covered.
	11:15am solo mon: Did someone say nonsense!?
	🥁 11:15am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): harmonica solo mon!
	11:16am Bob Brainen: Morning solo mon!
	11:16am mauri: Good saturday!
	11:16am Franco Twinkie: Me too Baba. I don't know if anything can be done about it at this point. But you know what? I just go with it because I know one day it won't be the same. People will drift away and the party will be over. So I just try and have fun while there is fun to be had.
	11:17am dan: Allan Clarke's voice is probably at its richest on "Listen To Me"
	11:17am Bob Brainen: Good saturday to you, mauri!
	11:17am solo mon: I caught Tim Leary at the Laff Factory when he was opening for Elaine Boozler.
	11:18am Franco Twinkie: That is a show I would have loved to see Solo!
	11:18am Gerry from Miami: Mornin', Bob! It's a Hollies Hootenanny!
	11:18am Bob Brainen: solo mon, was he funny?
	11:19am ATLDondi: Twenty minutes of sonic heaven. Been waiting for this a long time. Thanks Bob
	11:19am solo mon: He was funny but not slap your knees funny. More like things that make you go “hmm” humor.
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Glad to hear it, ATLDondi!
	11:21am Listener Robert: I saw Leary together with Robert Anton Wilson at a presentation on virtual reality ~30 years ago. I could see how Leary MIGHT be THAT KIND of funny. Or boring.
	11:22am Franco Twinkie: In retrospect, Tim was pretty hilarious, unintentionally most of the time, but funny none the less.
	🥁 11:22am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco: next time you're in SF, check out the Gravel & Gold store, cofounded by Graham Nash's daughter, Nile.
	11:23am Franco Twinkie: Okay, we're trying to make a plan.
	🥁 11:25am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): See? Listener Robert's 8YO friend was onto something!
	🥁 11:25am wmfromdumont: I hear the Abbey Rd. mellotron in action.
	11:26am Franco Twinkie: I am so loving this Hollies rock block Bob, I might reconsider trying to leave the house early.
	11:26am SmokinJ: Off & rockin'! Good morning bb & crew! 8-)
	🥁 11:26am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I just went ahead and clicky starred the whole program. Loving this so much!
	11:26am Doug Schulkind: Hello, gentlepeople.
	11:27am Bob Brainen: wm, good ear, there is no bad mellotron!
	🥁 11:27am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco: you're in for 3 hours of this, I believe!
	11:27am Doug Young: Hey Bob!
	11:27am Bob Brainen: Hiya Doug!
	11:28am Franco Twinkie: The day is mine Baba. I can do as I damn well please.
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Hey Doug Y! (and Doug S!) both on board.
	11:29am Ian from uk: Wings was originally released on the same charity lp that saw the first release of Across the universe.
	11:32am Franco Twinkie: In Los Angeles, that club was Madame Wongs in Chinatown.
	11:33am CalZone!: GM BB, PT, and Braineniacs! Happy Hollie Day! Loved the first set!
	11:34am Gerry from Miami: Easy Hollies trivia. What is Allan Clarke's real first name? Check the title of his first solo album from 1972!
	11:37am Robbie White: I agree with you Bob. not enough respect for the Hollies
	11:38am Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Pete.
	11:39am adamdoesit: Good morning, Bob and Hollies hawks! I always learn something new listening to this show. I can see that today will be no exception.
	11:40am dan: @Gerry Glad he used his middle name Allan rather than Harold.
	11:42am dan: Are you going to play Allan Clarke's vocal performance with Alan Parsons "Breakdown"?
	11:42am Bob Brainen: That's for verifying, Ian from uk!
	11:42am Bob Brainen: Morning adamdoesit!
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Gerry, we were noting that The Byrds' Gene Clark was a Harold too! Cosmic, man.
	11:43am Franco Twinkie: This is one of one of my all time. That key change slaughters me!
	11:43am Dr.Timothy Leary: The Cooper Union in November i’ll be giving a talk
	11:44am Bob Brainen: Dan, I'm not familiar with that, meaning we don't have access to it.
	11:45am Dave the Spazz: Hi Bob! Being Hollies-deficient, I'm enjoying the musical lesson.
	11:45am Bob Brainen: Franco, those modulations are such bursts of energy!
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Hey Dave, glad to have you aboard!
	🥁 11:46am wmfromdumont: The Hollies version of this fantastic.
	🥁 11:49am PT: @wmfromdumont It was a tossup between Terry's and Hollies' versions. And given the sonic glitches just now, maybe we should have gone with Hollies!
	🥁 11:52am wmfromdumont: I dig both versions @PT
	11:54am dan: It's great how the group evolved from Beatle-esque to Singer Songwriter
	11:59am Franco Twinkie: Listening to these songs at this remove, I'm not sure if The Hollies put these romantic notions in my young head, or they were simply articulating feelings I could not yet name. Sadly, I have not moved far beyond this type of explication of the rough water between men and women
	12:03pm gene sculatti: Sounding good, Bob and Pete.
	🥁 12:07pm wmfromdumont: Hollies Sing Dylan is the same in U.K./U.S. That's pretty late.
	🥁 12:11pm listener 126464: Hi Bob & guest, everybody.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I forgot the time!
	12:16pm Bob Brainen: Hey Gene, thanks!
	12:17pm Bob Brainen: Hey listener 126464!
	12:17pm Bob Brainen: Hey Uncle Michael!
	🥁 12:19pm wmfromdumont: I Love Two Yanks!
	12:21pm Franco Twinkie: These guys had such and intrinsic grasp of what made a song go forward into the realm of surprise. And before you knew, it was over! Mr. Toads Wild Ride squeezed into a song.
	12:26pm Bob Brainen: Franco, excellent point, totally agree. For this band, it was all about the song and every element served that, rather than people taking star turns for attention.
	12:27pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Bob! I can’t listen live, but I can’t wait to aurally inhale all this godlike Hollies goodness as soon as I can!
	12:28pm Bob Brainen: Hey Gaylord, cool, I know how big a fan of this band you are!
	12:30pm Listener Robert: Mr. Twinkie, is that Mr. Toad's Wild Ride from "Illuminatus!"?
	12:31pm Franco Twinkie: Well Bob, music is like food - you can eat a good taco everyday and never get tired of it, but please! eat a large array of everything under the sun, and appreciate widely.
	12:32pm Franco Twinkie: I was thinking of Disneyland Robert.
	🥁 12:32pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco, I truly hope you'll be publishing a book of your wild wisdom (with plenty of comics, please?!) or at least more video clips online.
	🥁 12:33pm Gina Bacon: Hi Bob & everyone! Sorry I'm so late!
	12:33pm Franco Twinkie: I'm off to do just that Baba, as soon as I put on some pants!
	12:36pm bk845: Afternoon all! Glad I made it in time for the frogs!
	12:36pm Listener Robert: Oh, thanks, Twinkie. I guess that's where Shea and Wilson took it from.
	12:40pm Little Danny: Hello Bob, hi all!
	12:40pm Listener Robert: It's like when I rode "It's a Small World" at Disneyland and sort-of-complained that it was just recycled from the World's Fair as the Pepsi Pavilion. Years later I found out it had been built for the World's Fair with the intention of installing it permanently at Disneyland. Just like Freedomland was revealed years later to have been intentionally built as a place holder for Co-Op City. Or so the developer said.
	12:43pm Bob Brainen: Hey Gina B, our birthday girl!
	12:43pm Listener Robert: Saving the big guns for near the end, huh?
	12:43pm Bob Brainen: Hey bk845!
	12:44pm Bob Brainen: Hey Little Danny!
	12:45pm Listener Robert: End? I forgot it's 3 hours now!
	12:46pm dan: The 2nd song called "Listen To Me"
	12:47pm Franco Twinkie: Robert, amusement parks like music borrow from each other shamelessly and come up with berserk interpretations all their own.
	12:51pm dan: Clarke and Nash were like Lennon and McCartney in how they can alternate verses in one song.
	12:54pm Little Danny: Oh man, "Clown." Gorgeousness.
	12:54pm Bob Brainen: Yeah Dan, it adds such variety.
	12:55pm Bob Brainen: Little Danny, amen to that!
	12:57pm Franco Twinkie: Danny, It seems to me that Sun Forest was dwelling in Hollie Land at least some of the time?
	🥁 1:01pm PT: Bob, Crusader was your call, and a wise choice it was. Gorgeous, right?
	1:02pm Bob Brainen: Yeah Pete, it really is. This album is unstoppable. The golden year: 1966!
	1:02pm Little Danny: @Franco: TOTALLY hear that. Also hi!!!
	1:05pm Kpx: listening to the hollering Hollies with the poor sound quality on my cell phone,. but hey at least I'm hearing the show.
	1:09pm Listener Robert: You saying "Stop, Stop, Stop" was based on a true story?! I had no idea.
	1:09pm chresti: Hi Bob and Brainiacs! Got some hammering to accompany your show today!
	1:12pm Kpx: how do you spell girl the way to Holly's pronounce it?
	1:12pm Bob Brainen: Hy Kpx, there's always the archive of the show for greater fidelity! But glad you're catching it!
	1:13pm Bob Brainen: Listener Robert, yes sir, they saw a belly dancer in NYC.
	1:13pm Joe B: hey Bob & Pete, show sounding great!
	1:13pm Bob Brainen: Hey chresti!
	1:14pm Bob Brainen: Hey Joe B, thank man!
	1:16pm ATLDondi: Bob and Pete--thanks for a fabulous show. The three multi-disc volumes of The Complete Hollies are indispensible to any collection, imho
	1:17pm dan: Later covered by Dan Fogelberg and Tim Weinberg
	1:17pm dan: *Weisberg
	1:17pm Kpx: Bus stop, bus Gow, Maybe?
	🥁 1:20pm PT: ATLDondi, ain't THAT the truth! I never got the third volume as my interest waned slightly by that stage in their career, and now it goes for crazy money.
	🥁 1:21pm wmfromdumont: The only Hollies tune to make it into the CSNY repertoire.
	1:21pm Franco Twinkie: This is was clearly written after someone read a few books and got hit over the head once or twice.
	1:22pm Bob Brainen: wm I didn't know that. They recorded it, or did it live?
	1:23pm dan: Are you going to play “I Can’t To The Bottom From The Top”?
	🥁 1:24pm wmfromdumont: In their live set Bob. There's a version included with the expanded 4 Way Street.
	1:24pm Joe B: i think Nash played it solo, IIRC
	1:25pm PT: Didn’t CSNY record Horses in a Rainstorm? Unreleased for many years.
	1:26pm Bob Brainen: I'm pretty sure, yeah, on a box set?
	1:26pm Little Danny: I first knew of "Hard Hard Year" via the neato version by '60s Chicago garage band Michael and the Messenger.
	1:26pm Little Danny: Messengers
	1:27pm Joe B: Marrakesh Express and Lady of the Island could have been Hollies songs but were rejected by the band
	🥁 1:27pm wmfromdumont: Didn't the Hollies record a version of Lady of the Island?
	1:27pm PaulRobeson1920: So good!! The Hollies! So good!
	1:27pm Little Danny: I can totally hear that Joe B.
	1:28pm Bob Brainen: LD, I'll see if I can find that. Cool, thanks.
	1:29pm Joe B: @wmfromdumont - according to Nash here, they attempted Marrakesh: people.com...
	1:29pm Bob Brainen: Yeah Joe, Nash got cred finally but his songs are really not much different than his Hollies songs. It's all an illusion.
	1:30pm dan: I’m Alive, Hollies only #1 in UK
	1:31pm Joe B: Can't believe I'm Alive was not a hit in the US
	1:34pm Franco Twinkie: Get otta here and go rule the word Graham!
	1:42pm Bob Brainen: Joe, it is hard to believe!
	1:45pm dan: Is this the Swede that replaced Allan Clarke?
	1:47pm Bob Brainen: That's him.
	1:47pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, Icarus falls.
	🥁 1:49pm wmfromdumont: Lots of Mono-ness today. Excellent!
	1:50pm Bob Brainen: I wish we had MONO for all the singles up to 67! There's a comp we need: Hollies In Mono.
	1:50pm dan: There needs to be a Beatles Anthology type thing with The Hollies
	1:51pm Franco Twinkie: It's a trick to make perfect art, but I think The Hollies pulled it. Thanks guys, you are kind and knowing teachers.
	1:51pm Bob Brainen: Franco, we're perpetual students!
	🥁 1:51pm wmfromdumont: Bob, I made my own mono singles comp.
	1:52pm Bob Brainen: Wm. nice! I know ~someone~ who needs a copy...
	1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for the great show!
	1:53pm prudy: Bob and Pete, thanks for a great show and commentary as always...superb...
	🥁 1:54pm wmfromdumont: Tell someone "no prob". Great great show Bob and Pete!
	1:55pm Bob Brainen: Thanks everyone, this was a true labor of love.
	1:55pm dan: Thanks for an amazing show
	🥁 1:55pm listener 126464: Thanks guys!
	1:55pm bigplanetnoise: Great show Bob! Thank You!
	1:56pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks, Bob 'n' Pete!
	1:56pm Franco Twinkie: For one, you leave you're dirty socks on the kitchen table.
	1:57pm Kpx: have a good one Bob and frogs
	1:57pm Joe B: great thanks!
	1:58pm Irene Trudel: Great show today, Bob and Pete! I've been listening to most of it at my workplace. Thanks for all the great Hollies rarities and regulars!
	1:58pm Doug Schulkind: Hey everyone, Dave Sewelson and Music For a Free World is off this week. Enjoy the soothing sounds of the stream until 5pm (ET) when Gina Bacon takes over with Someday Matinee. Gina's guest today is Nashville crooner Jon Byrd.
	2:00pm WR: Thank you Bob and Pete! Laters all y'all streamers, enjoyed the comments and learned too.
	2:00pm Bob Brainen: Sorry Doug, I didn't see your comment. See ya next week!
	2:00pm adamdoesit: Thank you, Bob and Pete. What a great show!
	2:01pm Listener Robert: I listen to a lot of WFMU shows, a lot of YOUR WFMU shows, but this one I really got into, thanks.
	10:31pm ?: What a catalog! Great selection.
	10:28am Marc Francis: Thanks Bob! Another great show!
	4:12pm mswendysmith: Great show! Just finished listening for a second time. It really helped me to develop a proper appreciation for the Hollies. Some time back, when I was channel surfing, I saw the current lineup on one of the PBS pledge shows and didn’t watch (some times those shows are kind of depressing, seeing all of those people my age in the audience - ha!). Now I’m kicking myself for missing it.
	10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thank You Bob Brainen & Pete Tomlinson ! Always been on the Hollies love bus - but not always known that any specific other people were too ! This episode can serve as a Reference. Like your Brian Jones episode - such an organized exposition underscores the Greatness. (I would presume Andrew Sandoval has featured them @ some point? & Todd-o-phonic Todd had an interview episode with Bobby Elliot that should not be missed not too long ago...)

	11:03am Listener Robert: Did I ever say how I had my friends' 8YO son in my car where we listened to Irwin and Ms. Boule's Incorrect Music segment, and then your opening theme came on, and the boy laughed at the xylophone bits, thinking (with a lead-in like that) that they were supposed to be funny?

	11:04am Bob Brainen: Heywm fromdumont!

	🥁 11:12am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco: nonsense away!
	11:12am Franco Twinkie: Bob! I was going to try and get out of the house early but then Chresti said "Aren't you going to listen to Bob?"
	🥁 11:13am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): my life pretty much revolves around the WFMU schedule
	11:13am dan: The Hollies are one of the few British Invasion bands along with The Rolling Stones and The Who that are still around and performing.
	11:13am Bob Brainen: Franco, thanks to chresti for the reminder! With the app. the show goes anywhere you do!
	🥁 11:13am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco, you just need to get a portable device and bring WFMU with you everywere!
	11:14am Gerry from Miami: DECK THE AIRWAVES WITH HARMONIC HOLLIES, FA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA!!
	🥁 11:14am wmfromdumont: Tight band, tight harmonies. And they could pull it off live as well.
	11:14am Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami!
	11:15am Bob Brainen: wmfromdumont, well put! They had it all covered.
	11:15am solo mon: Did someone say nonsense!?
	🥁 11:15am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): harmonica solo mon!
	11:16am Bob Brainen: Morning solo mon!
	11:16am mauri: Good saturday!
	11:16am Franco Twinkie: Me too Baba. I don't know if anything can be done about it at this point. But you know what? I just go with it because I know one day it won't be the same. People will drift away and the party will be over. So I just try and have fun while there is fun to be had.
	11:17am dan: Allan Clarke's voice is probably at its richest on "Listen To Me"
	11:17am Bob Brainen: Good saturday to you, mauri!
	11:17am solo mon: I caught Tim Leary at the Laff Factory when he was opening for Elaine Boozler.
	11:18am Franco Twinkie: That is a show I would have loved to see Solo!
	11:18am Gerry from Miami: Mornin', Bob! It's a Hollies Hootenanny!
	11:18am Bob Brainen: solo mon, was he funny?
	11:19am ATLDondi: Twenty minutes of sonic heaven. Been waiting for this a long time. Thanks Bob
	11:19am solo mon: He was funny but not slap your knees funny. More like things that make you go “hmm” humor.
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Glad to hear it, ATLDondi!
	11:21am Listener Robert: I saw Leary together with Robert Anton Wilson at a presentation on virtual reality ~30 years ago. I could see how Leary MIGHT be THAT KIND of funny. Or boring.
	11:22am Franco Twinkie: In retrospect, Tim was pretty hilarious, unintentionally most of the time, but funny none the less.
	🥁 11:22am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco: next time you're in SF, check out the Gravel & Gold store, cofounded by Graham Nash's daughter, Nile.
	11:23am Franco Twinkie: Okay, we're trying to make a plan.
	🥁 11:25am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): See? Listener Robert's 8YO friend was onto something!
	🥁 11:25am wmfromdumont: I hear the Abbey Rd. mellotron in action.
	11:26am Franco Twinkie: I am so loving this Hollies rock block Bob, I might reconsider trying to leave the house early.
	11:26am SmokinJ: Off & rockin'! Good morning bb & crew! 8-)
	🥁 11:26am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I just went ahead and clicky starred the whole program. Loving this so much!
	11:26am Doug Schulkind: Hello, gentlepeople.
	11:27am Bob Brainen: wm, good ear, there is no bad mellotron!
	🥁 11:27am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco: you're in for 3 hours of this, I believe!
	11:27am Doug Young: Hey Bob!
	11:27am Bob Brainen: Hiya Doug!
	11:28am Franco Twinkie: The day is mine Baba. I can do as I damn well please.
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Hey Doug Y! (and Doug S!) both on board.
	11:29am Ian from uk: Wings was originally released on the same charity lp that saw the first release of Across the universe.
	11:32am Franco Twinkie: In Los Angeles, that club was Madame Wongs in Chinatown.
	11:33am CalZone!: GM BB, PT, and Braineniacs! Happy Hollie Day! Loved the first set!
	11:34am Gerry from Miami: Easy Hollies trivia. What is Allan Clarke's real first name? Check the title of his first solo album from 1972!
	11:37am Robbie White: I agree with you Bob. not enough respect for the Hollies
	11:38am Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Pete.
	11:39am adamdoesit: Good morning, Bob and Hollies hawks! I always learn something new listening to this show. I can see that today will be no exception.
	11:40am dan: @Gerry Glad he used his middle name Allan rather than Harold.
	11:42am dan: Are you going to play Allan Clarke's vocal performance with Alan Parsons "Breakdown"?
	11:42am Bob Brainen: That's for verifying, Ian from uk!
	11:42am Bob Brainen: Morning adamdoesit!
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Gerry, we were noting that The Byrds' Gene Clark was a Harold too! Cosmic, man.
	11:43am Franco Twinkie: This is one of one of my all time. That key change slaughters me!
	11:43am Dr.Timothy Leary: The Cooper Union in November i’ll be giving a talk
	11:44am Bob Brainen: Dan, I'm not familiar with that, meaning we don't have access to it.
	11:45am Dave the Spazz: Hi Bob! Being Hollies-deficient, I'm enjoying the musical lesson.
	11:45am Bob Brainen: Franco, those modulations are such bursts of energy!
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Hey Dave, glad to have you aboard!
	🥁 11:46am wmfromdumont: The Hollies version of this fantastic.
	🥁 11:49am PT: @wmfromdumont It was a tossup between Terry's and Hollies' versions. And given the sonic glitches just now, maybe we should have gone with Hollies!
	🥁 11:52am wmfromdumont: I dig both versions @PT
	11:54am dan: It's great how the group evolved from Beatle-esque to Singer Songwriter
	11:59am Franco Twinkie: Listening to these songs at this remove, I'm not sure if The Hollies put these romantic notions in my young head, or they were simply articulating feelings I could not yet name. Sadly, I have not moved far beyond this type of explication of the rough water between men and women
	12:03pm gene sculatti: Sounding good, Bob and Pete.
	🥁 12:07pm wmfromdumont: Hollies Sing Dylan is the same in U.K./U.S. That's pretty late.
	🥁 12:11pm listener 126464: Hi Bob & guest, everybody.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I forgot the time!
	12:16pm Bob Brainen: Hey Gene, thanks!
	12:17pm Bob Brainen: Hey listener 126464!
	12:17pm Bob Brainen: Hey Uncle Michael!
	🥁 12:19pm wmfromdumont: I Love Two Yanks!
	12:21pm Franco Twinkie: These guys had such and intrinsic grasp of what made a song go forward into the realm of surprise. And before you knew, it was over! Mr. Toads Wild Ride squeezed into a song.
	12:26pm Bob Brainen: Franco, excellent point, totally agree. For this band, it was all about the song and every element served that, rather than people taking star turns for attention.
	12:27pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Bob! I can’t listen live, but I can’t wait to aurally inhale all this godlike Hollies goodness as soon as I can!
	12:28pm Bob Brainen: Hey Gaylord, cool, I know how big a fan of this band you are!
	12:30pm Listener Robert: Mr. Twinkie, is that Mr. Toad's Wild Ride from "Illuminatus!"?
	12:31pm Franco Twinkie: Well Bob, music is like food - you can eat a good taco everyday and never get tired of it, but please! eat a large array of everything under the sun, and appreciate widely.
	12:32pm Franco Twinkie: I was thinking of Disneyland Robert.
	🥁 12:32pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco, I truly hope you'll be publishing a book of your wild wisdom (with plenty of comics, please?!) or at least more video clips online.
	🥁 12:33pm Gina Bacon: Hi Bob & everyone! Sorry I'm so late!
	12:33pm Franco Twinkie: I'm off to do just that Baba, as soon as I put on some pants!
	12:36pm bk845: Afternoon all! Glad I made it in time for the frogs!
	12:36pm Listener Robert: Oh, thanks, Twinkie. I guess that's where Shea and Wilson took it from.
	12:40pm Little Danny: Hello Bob, hi all!
	12:40pm Listener Robert: It's like when I rode "It's a Small World" at Disneyland and sort-of-complained that it was just recycled from the World's Fair as the Pepsi Pavilion. Years later I found out it had been built for the World's Fair with the intention of installing it permanently at Disneyland. Just like Freedomland was revealed years later to have been intentionally built as a place holder for Co-Op City. Or so the developer said.
	12:43pm Bob Brainen: Hey Gina B, our birthday girl!
	12:43pm Listener Robert: Saving the big guns for near the end, huh?
	12:43pm Bob Brainen: Hey bk845!
	12:44pm Bob Brainen: Hey Little Danny!
	12:45pm Listener Robert: End? I forgot it's 3 hours now!
	12:46pm dan: The 2nd song called "Listen To Me"
	12:47pm Franco Twinkie: Robert, amusement parks like music borrow from each other shamelessly and come up with berserk interpretations all their own.
	12:51pm dan: Clarke and Nash were like Lennon and McCartney in how they can alternate verses in one song.
	12:54pm Little Danny: Oh man, "Clown." Gorgeousness.
	12:54pm Bob Brainen: Yeah Dan, it adds such variety.
	12:55pm Bob Brainen: Little Danny, amen to that!
	12:57pm Franco Twinkie: Danny, It seems to me that Sun Forest was dwelling in Hollie Land at least some of the time?
	🥁 1:01pm PT: Bob, Crusader was your call, and a wise choice it was. Gorgeous, right?
	1:02pm Bob Brainen: Yeah Pete, it really is. This album is unstoppable. The golden year: 1966!
	1:02pm Little Danny: @Franco: TOTALLY hear that. Also hi!!!
	1:05pm Kpx: listening to the hollering Hollies with the poor sound quality on my cell phone,. but hey at least I'm hearing the show.
	1:09pm Listener Robert: You saying "Stop, Stop, Stop" was based on a true story?! I had no idea.
	1:09pm chresti: Hi Bob and Brainiacs! Got some hammering to accompany your show today!
	1:12pm Kpx: how do you spell girl the way to Holly's pronounce it?
	1:12pm Bob Brainen: Hy Kpx, there's always the archive of the show for greater fidelity! But glad you're catching it!
	1:13pm Bob Brainen: Listener Robert, yes sir, they saw a belly dancer in NYC.
	1:13pm Joe B: hey Bob & Pete, show sounding great!
	1:13pm Bob Brainen: Hey chresti!
	1:14pm Bob Brainen: Hey Joe B, thank man!
	1:16pm ATLDondi: Bob and Pete--thanks for a fabulous show. The three multi-disc volumes of The Complete Hollies are indispensible to any collection, imho
	1:17pm dan: Later covered by Dan Fogelberg and Tim Weinberg
	1:17pm dan: *Weisberg
	1:17pm Kpx: Bus stop, bus Gow, Maybe?
	🥁 1:20pm PT: ATLDondi, ain't THAT the truth! I never got the third volume as my interest waned slightly by that stage in their career, and now it goes for crazy money.
	🥁 1:21pm wmfromdumont: The only Hollies tune to make it into the CSNY repertoire.
	1:21pm Franco Twinkie: This is was clearly written after someone read a few books and got hit over the head once or twice.
	1:22pm Bob Brainen: wm I didn't know that. They recorded it, or did it live?
	1:23pm dan: Are you going to play “I Can’t To The Bottom From The Top”?
	🥁 1:24pm wmfromdumont: In their live set Bob. There's a version included with the expanded 4 Way Street.
	1:24pm Joe B: i think Nash played it solo, IIRC
	1:25pm PT: Didn’t CSNY record Horses in a Rainstorm? Unreleased for many years.
	1:26pm Bob Brainen: I'm pretty sure, yeah, on a box set?
	1:26pm Little Danny: I first knew of "Hard Hard Year" via the neato version by '60s Chicago garage band Michael and the Messenger.
	1:26pm Little Danny: Messengers
	1:27pm Joe B: Marrakesh Express and Lady of the Island could have been Hollies songs but were rejected by the band
	🥁 1:27pm wmfromdumont: Didn't the Hollies record a version of Lady of the Island?
	1:27pm PaulRobeson1920: So good!! The Hollies! So good!
	1:27pm Little Danny: I can totally hear that Joe B.
	1:28pm Bob Brainen: LD, I'll see if I can find that. Cool, thanks.
	1:29pm Joe B: @wmfromdumont - according to Nash here, they attempted Marrakesh: people.com...
	1:29pm Bob Brainen: Yeah Joe, Nash got cred finally but his songs are really not much different than his Hollies songs. It's all an illusion.
	1:30pm dan: I’m Alive, Hollies only #1 in UK
	1:31pm Joe B: Can't believe I'm Alive was not a hit in the US
	1:34pm Franco Twinkie: Get otta here and go rule the word Graham!
	1:42pm Bob Brainen: Joe, it is hard to believe!
	1:45pm dan: Is this the Swede that replaced Allan Clarke?
	1:47pm Bob Brainen: That's him.
	1:47pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, Icarus falls.
	🥁 1:49pm wmfromdumont: Lots of Mono-ness today. Excellent!
	1:50pm Bob Brainen: I wish we had MONO for all the singles up to 67! There's a comp we need: Hollies In Mono.
	1:50pm dan: There needs to be a Beatles Anthology type thing with The Hollies
	1:51pm Franco Twinkie: It's a trick to make perfect art, but I think The Hollies pulled it. Thanks guys, you are kind and knowing teachers.
	1:51pm Bob Brainen: Franco, we're perpetual students!
	🥁 1:51pm wmfromdumont: Bob, I made my own mono singles comp.
	1:52pm Bob Brainen: Wm. nice! I know ~someone~ who needs a copy...
	1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for the great show!
	1:53pm prudy: Bob and Pete, thanks for a great show and commentary as always...superb...
	🥁 1:54pm wmfromdumont: Tell someone "no prob". Great great show Bob and Pete!
	1:55pm Bob Brainen: Thanks everyone, this was a true labor of love.
	1:55pm dan: Thanks for an amazing show
	🥁 1:55pm listener 126464: Thanks guys!
	1:55pm bigplanetnoise: Great show Bob! Thank You!
	1:56pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks, Bob 'n' Pete!
	1:56pm Franco Twinkie: For one, you leave you're dirty socks on the kitchen table.
	1:57pm Kpx: have a good one Bob and frogs
	1:57pm Joe B: great thanks!
	1:58pm Irene Trudel: Great show today, Bob and Pete! I've been listening to most of it at my workplace. Thanks for all the great Hollies rarities and regulars!
	1:58pm Doug Schulkind: Hey everyone, Dave Sewelson and Music For a Free World is off this week. Enjoy the soothing sounds of the stream until 5pm (ET) when Gina Bacon takes over with Someday Matinee. Gina's guest today is Nashville crooner Jon Byrd.
	2:00pm WR: Thank you Bob and Pete! Laters all y'all streamers, enjoyed the comments and learned too.
	2:00pm Bob Brainen: Sorry Doug, I didn't see your comment. See ya next week!
	2:00pm adamdoesit: Thank you, Bob and Pete. What a great show!
	2:01pm Listener Robert: I listen to a lot of WFMU shows, a lot of YOUR WFMU shows, but this one I really got into, thanks.
	10:31pm ?: What a catalog! Great selection.
	10:28am Marc Francis: Thanks Bob! Another great show!
	4:12pm mswendysmith: Great show! Just finished listening for a second time. It really helped me to develop a proper appreciation for the Hollies. Some time back, when I was channel surfing, I saw the current lineup on one of the PBS pledge shows and didn’t watch (some times those shows are kind of depressing, seeing all of those people my age in the audience - ha!). Now I’m kicking myself for missing it.
	10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thank You Bob Brainen & Pete Tomlinson ! Always been on the Hollies love bus - but not always known that any specific other people were too ! This episode can serve as a Reference. Like your Brian Jones episode - such an organized exposition underscores the Greatness. (I would presume Andrew Sandoval has featured them @ some point? & Todd-o-phonic Todd had an interview episode with Bobby Elliot that should not be missed not too long ago...)
