	7:06pm Androu B.: Hello, Becky and all the Bubblegum Boogaloo Crew. Needless to say, Becky, that it's been a somber weekend, but you must consider yourself very lucky to have seen The Monkees perform their final show ever before Mike left this Good Earth. Let's make tonight's show a great tribute in his honor. RIP Mike. Wherever you are now, keep 'em entertained! 🌠
	7:06pm Becky Ebenkamp: This is my feel good music.
	🍭 7:06pm MOM WHIG: hi to medson, Aitch, Will the Sound Guy, Cali too
	7:07pm Becky Ebenkamp: (I try to forget about all the suicides in this group)
	7:07pm medson: Good evening Mom W
	🍭 7:07pm MOM WHIG: good to see you Androu B
	7:07pm Becky Ebenkamp: Ditto, Androu!
	7:08pm Becky Ebenkamp: Eric! Woo! Mom! Izzy, I can’t believe that wasn’t even a month ago…
	7:09pm izzy: Time flies!
	🍭 7:09pm MOM WHIG: Becky - right - his birthday is Dec 30 - so light a candle in his "honor" then.
	7:10pm Becky Ebenkamp: Aitch! Jessie! Shar!!! Eric! Corey! Richard! This song is for all the teenagers at heart.
	7:10pm Eric R: everyone noticed his frailty. I'm glad for his sake and everybody's who saw the shows that he was able to finish the tour.
	7:10pm Jessie3000: Hi Becky.
	🍭 7:11pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi Mom, Androu, medson, Izzy, Louie, Aitch, Woo, Jesse3k, Richard, Corey, Shar, Eric, cali4nyastreamin, abd anyone I missed!!!
	7:11pm izzy: I and some friends played a Papa Nez tribute gig on his 50th bd. I guess that was a while ago also!
	7:11pm Becky Ebenkamp: Dennis, thanks so much for joining us!
	7:11pm izzy: Fave Razz tune!
	7:12pm Becky Ebenkamp: I’ll tell Dom to get in here
	7:12pm Jessie3000: Hi Will. It's surreal. This has been a difficult weekend
	7:12pm Shar: Hey Beck! Got a feeling I'll be over-clicking the 'star button' tonight.
	7:13pm Corey Light: Hey Becky, mom, Eric, Will, medson & all you groovy people
	7:13pm Domenico: Hi Dennis from San Francisco. Dig Rosko! From the Teen Age Fair
	7:14pm Becky Ebenkamp: Please do! As shocked as I was to hear the news (I hadn’t gotten any advance word from Andrew) it seemed somewhat natural. Surreal, but natural.
	7:14pm Domenico: Rosko was a zero-cool DJ, African-American... New York
	7:14pm izzy: I'm guessing wearing a Nazi helmet to school these days wouldn't turn out well.
	7:14pm Becky Ebenkamp: I thot Rosko was LA
	7:15pm Becky Ebenkamp: Why would he be doing LA TF?
	7:15pm izzy: Been looking for this Floyd Cramer for awhile now.
	🍭 7:16pm MOM WHIG: Hi Dom
	7:16pm Androu B.: I remember when Rosko DJed at the old WKTU (before they switched frequencies) way back at the turn of the 80's.
	7:16pm Louie: We're thinking of you too, Becky <3
	7:16pm Becky Ebenkamp: I think it’s pretty cheap on Discogs, Iz. I brought a skull in a Nazi helmet to bingo once as a lucky token.
	7:17pm Domenico: Nez-Fest
	7:17pm Becky Ebenkamp: The kind you could get in Tijuana. I needed a lucky charm. No one even blinked.
	7:17pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Its amazing Mike Nesmith was able to tour as he wanted to before he departed. What a life he had!
	7:17pm izzy: Keep trying to find it in the wild. Might have to break down and go Discogs...
	🍭 7:17pm MOM WHIG: Good you made it here Glynis
	7:18pm Domenico: The "You Are What You Eat" soundtrack with the Teen Age Fair bit by Rosko is also on CD
	7:19pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hi, Glynis! Yeah, Discogs sucks if you have to buy outside the U.S. I don’t pay $20 for shipping.
	7:19pm Domenico: Hi Mom Whig, and Glynis GirlGroupGirl... He's Biblical... Neba-ka-Nezzer
	7:19pm Eric R: I scored on getting records today but I'm kinda sad that my pal is in the position of having to sell some of his LPs.
	7:19pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: I adore this song
	7:20pm Becky Ebenkamp: He was amazing with the First National Band a few years ago.
	7:20pm Domenico: Becky Ebenkamp... Discogs sucks. Two letters off... drop the "gs" but don't trade in your scooter
	7:21pm izzy: Still bummed I missed that Troub show. Had time and everything, but the trip just didn't work out.
	7:21pm izzy: Had tix
	7:22pm Becky Ebenkamp: I learned that a few songs that I thought Mike wrote were written by others.
	7:22pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: I have no issues with Discogs. Some sellers and the postage prices now but no issues with Discogs itself
	7:22pm Becky Ebenkamp: Wow, Izzy. I went to that one. That is quite a drive for you tho.
	7:23pm Eric R: I've had good experiences with eBay, getting good records at a good price and having them show up in good shape.
	7:23pm Domenico: Izzy, that was some time for Troubadour revivals with not only the First National Band, but Richie Furay did an "early Poco" show ... playing the entire Deliverin' LP with Tim coming on stage to sing "Hear That Music"... Troubadour '68-'70 big time. I said Hi to Randy Meisner, who was in the house
	7:23pm Becky Ebenkamp: I have been listening Michael’s lyrics a lot more closely recently.
	7:24pm Becky Ebenkamp: This is my fave.
	7:24pm Becky Ebenkamp: I always thot Nez wrote it.
	7:24pm Shar: Mike's lyrics always had a little extra imagination to them.
	7:24pm izzy: Poco would have been super cool! Haven't made it to the Troub yet. Next time!
	7:26pm Domenico: Izzy, yeah it was just Richie, no Paul or Rusty. But doing all pre-Paul Cotton era Poco (Pogo)
	7:27pm izzy: I saw Richie with Chris Hillman a few years back.
	7:28pm Domenico: Were they called "The Hillman-Furay Band" ha ha...
	🍭 7:28pm MOM WHIG: Aitch - how is your Monday going there?
	7:28pm izzy: They both did solo sets and a few together at the end.
	7:29pm Becky Ebenkamp: Something weird that’s been happening the past month or so: My phone always opens to apps w/o permission. Well, a couple of times I found my phone book open and it was open to Mike Nesmith’s entry. I didn’t remember having one, even. Probably info I took down before the 50th anniversary tour.
	7:29pm Domenico: Clarence White guitar on "What Am I Doin' Hangin' 'Round"...
	7:30pm Becky Ebenkamp: Doug Dillard on banjo!
	7:30pm izzy: Clarence!
	7:30pm Louie: This set is just stellar Becky. I'm loving every second of it.
	7:30pm Domenico: Good one, Becky!
	7:30pm Becky Ebenkamp: Thanks, Louie! I just love his voice. Another fave up next.
	🍭 7:30pm MOM WHIG: Becky - thanks for putting these tunes together for all of us Monkee fans
	7:31pm Androu B.: Now that I hear it, Mike's voice had a similar delivery to that of John Denver. Must be a "country boy" trait. Btw, this song is my fave of his.
	7:31pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Another fave
	🍭 7:31pm MOM WHIG: Andreau - I thought that too about John Denver
	🍭 7:31pm Aitch: Hard at work Mom, loving the Nez stuff. Different drum was my fave of his
	7:31pm Becky Ebenkamp: Love the bass
	7:32pm Becky Ebenkamp: Carol Kaye?
	7:32pm Richard Whig: nice tribute Becky. thank you.
	7:32pm izzy: Gotta go grab Andrew's book to see who it is.
	🍭 7:32pm MOM WHIG: Aitch - good to hear someone has to work (I retired 8 years ago) after working for 46 years.
	7:33pm Eric R: my group did a Monkees set two years ago for a Halloween show. I found a red shirt and sewed on white buttons. You Just May Be the One was one of the songs we did.
	7:33pm Becky Ebenkamp: And, of course, Mike & Micky’s voices blending together: so perfect!
	7:33pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oops, Carole
	🍭 7:33pm MOM WHIG: Eric - do you still have that Shirt?
	7:34pm Eric R: yes, sure do.
	7:34pm izzy: That Cactus Flower sdtk has some good Monkee covers.
	🍭 7:35pm MOM WHIG: Becky - Cactus Flower Movie is hilarious - Goldie
	7:35pm Domenico: Izzy... "There's A Girl In My Soup" was the follow up movie by Goldie Hawn. Both titles SO '60s
	7:36pm izzy: Haven't seen that one, Dom.
	7:36pm izzy: Saw CF not too long ago.
	7:36pm Becky Ebenkamp: I was just thinking I saw it, but I think it was There’s a Girl in My Soup. I love all her movies.
	7:38pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, did anyone watch the A&M documentary last Sunday? Part 2 is tonight.
	7:38pm Domenico: I saw them both when I rented them at the same time. They were total fun if in one ear and out the other. They're great for all the Groovy in 'em
	7:38pm izzy: Got to get Epix back to see it.
	7:38pm Eric R: A&M, the record company?
	7:38pm Becky Ebenkamp: I had higher expectations for it. Some good archival stuff, but skimmed over too much.
	7:39pm Shar: You Told Me is another cracking Mike-penned tune. Down the road maybe.
	7:39pm izzy: CF was what the big studios thought was '60s.
	7:39pm Domenico: Eric R., yes, A&M the label. Doc on Epix
	7:40pm Domenico: YES, Izzy. Give me more psychedelic posters! And beads!
	7:40pm izzy: Still haven't seen Get Back. They're piling up!
	7:40pm Eric R: I've got a great rejection letter from A&M. It goes something like "we recently found your tape in a shoebox. It most likely isn't representative of your current sound so we didn't listen to it. Feel free to re-submit"
	7:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: Yes! It’s called Mr. A & Mr. M. That title told me the filmmakers “got it.” It’s been my dream to make a movie about Herb & Jerry and the significance of their label. The doc seemed to get that, but seemed more interested in laundry listing bands like Supertramp.
	7:41pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Yeah!!!
	7:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: I need to play more Equals on this show!
	7:41pm Eric R: Equals every week!
	7:42pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Yes!!
	7:42pm Becky Ebenkamp: Derv Gordon said he’d do an interview
	7:42pm izzy: Supertramp or the Police would NOT be my first thoughts for A & M!
	7:43pm Domenico: There are two Documentaries on Herb/A&M, but not a one on the A&M "Sound" of the '60s. I'm trying to market a music documentary now and it is REALLY HARD getting past finance people who try to turn everything into "Captain Obvious" instead of what things really were.
	7:43pm izzy: I listen to more TJB or Carpenters than those two!
	7:43pm Becky Ebenkamp: “Give a Little Bit” was the opening song. Hell no.
	7:45pm Becky Ebenkamp: IMO, the first ep should have been ‘60s only. No Merry Go Round or B&H!
	7:45pm Becky Ebenkamp: Is a Dutchie a joint?
	7:45pm izzy: Well, the Brian Wison one was mostly talking heads like Taylor Hawkins (?) and Nick Jonas (??) telling me why I should like Brian.
	7:46pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Its a cooking pot: dutch oven
	7:46pm Domenico: Chris Montez' "Call Me"... Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66... The Sandpipers, The TJ Brass... and others... there is a real sound and feel, which may be best exemplified by Burt Bacharach also using the A&M sound in his pre-A&M work. But Rock Idiot Execs would go "what?"
	7:47pm Eric R: I'll take anybody talking about any group/artist if it's not Whoopi Goldberg or Billy Crystal.
	7:47pm Becky Ebenkamp: I hate that kind of doc. I don’t need Thurston Moore’s blessing for validation.
	7:47pm izzy: I'd love your doc, Dom!
	7:47pm Becky Ebenkamp: This song courtesy of Glynis!
	🍭 7:47pm MOM WHIG: Yes, a Glynis Song
	7:48pm Domenico: Izzy... when I saw the ads for the Brian Wilson one, I thought "Wait... Didn't Don Was make this same documentary in the '90s?" With Thurston Moore when he was new, ha ha Becky
	7:48pm Becky Ebenkamp: Did you see Whoopi as an authority on the DC5? WTF?!
	7:48pm Jarema: Fitting M.N. tribute, Becky!
	7:48pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hi, Jarema!
	7:49pm izzy: The exec producer was Brian. Idk what he had to gain putting that out.
	7:49pm Domenico: Izzy when I get to do my doc you will see NO talking heads. Only vintage footage. NOTHING to take you out of the Tyme
	7:49pm Androu B.: Say, Becky, have you ever heard of Rick Lancelot? I've had this 45 for a long time since buying it at a yard sale (in fact I have it right on my desk now). The A-side is "Live Like A Lion". I could probably rip both sides of it to an mp3 and email it to you if you want to have a listen.
	7:49pm Eric R: Dom, that's the way to go
	7:49pm izzy: Sign me up, Dom!
	7:49pm Jarema: Hi, Becky!
	7:49pm Becky Ebenkamp: Maybe I’ll throw something a bit broader together later. I was finished with the show when we got the news Friday morning.
	7:50pm Becky Ebenkamp: No, Androu. Tell me more!
	7:50pm Domenico: Izzy I think "Brian" paid for this to try and capture another era of listeners, since the Don Was era people are already on board. Today is a more airhead time than the '90s so they probably made a more airhead doc
	7:50pm Becky Ebenkamp: BTW, it has really cheered me up talking to all of you—I knew it would. Thank you for being here tonight.
	7:51pm Domenico: Thanks Eric R.
	7:52pm Becky Ebenkamp: Mike really did come around to “getting” why the Monkees were so great. That was cool to experience in person. I noticed that at the 50th anniversary concert as well. He was truly happy to participate.
	7:52pm izzy: If NICK JONAS likes the Beach Boys, they must be good!😉
	🍭 7:52pm MOM WHIG: Becky - yes a Downer this Week for sure - You brought us much happiness with Mike's tunes tonite. Thanks for putting it all together.
	7:53pm Jessie3000: Thanks for a good show. I'm sorry for everyone's loss.
	7:53pm Eric R: oh my gosh...we've talked through the hour already!
	7:53pm Becky Ebenkamp: More Green Wool Cap next on the Whig Out? Tune in and hear: wfmu.org...
	7:54pm Richard Whig: happy byrthdae Eric!!
	7:54pm Corey Light: Great show Becky!! Thank you
	7:54pm Androu B.: t's an interesting little gem from (I'm guessing) the 60's put out by RCA Victor. On it, he's credited as "Rick Lancelot with The 7 Knights". B-side is "Homeless Heart".
	7:54pm izzy: Gotta get this Sweet!
	7:54pm ?: Thanks for the show Becky!
	7:54pm Domenico: Thank you Becky
	7:54pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Thanks Becky!
	7:54pm Cali4nyaStreamin": nice one Becky
	🍭 7:55pm MOM WHIG: Eric - did you get CAKE?
	7:55pm izzy: Great show!
	7:55pm Becky Ebenkamp: H!B!D! Eric!
	🍭 7:55pm MOM WHIG: See you all on the next Dance Floor for Whig Out
	7:55pm Eric R: not yet...Saturday. Give me some of that there Social Security money!!
	7:55pm Richard Whig: thank you Becky!
	7:56pm izzy: Have a great week, all!
	7:56pm Shar: The earth spun little faster listening tonight. Fab show!
	7:56pm Becky Ebenkamp: Thanks, all! And thanks, Mike, Micky & Andrew for keeping the peace all these years ; )
	7:56pm Shar: And Happy Birthday Eric!
	7:57pm Eric R: thanks everyone for the HBDs. Not yet, but I appreciate it.
	7:57pm Androu B.: Thanks much, Becky! Excellent job with the Nez tribute!
	🍭 7:57pm MOM WHIG: Eric - a few good days to be "eternally young".
	7:59pm Androu B.: See you on the Whiggy side, folx!

	🍭 7:16pm MOM WHIG: Hi Dom
	7:16pm Androu B.: I remember when Rosko DJed at the old WKTU (before they switched frequencies) way back at the turn of the 80's.
	7:16pm Louie: We're thinking of you too, Becky <3
	7:16pm Becky Ebenkamp: I think it’s pretty cheap on Discogs, Iz. I brought a skull in a Nazi helmet to bingo once as a lucky token.
	7:17pm Domenico: Nez-Fest
	7:17pm Becky Ebenkamp: The kind you could get in Tijuana. I needed a lucky charm. No one even blinked.
	7:17pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Its amazing Mike Nesmith was able to tour as he wanted to before he departed. What a life he had!
	7:17pm izzy: Keep trying to find it in the wild. Might have to break down and go Discogs...
	🍭 7:17pm MOM WHIG: Good you made it here Glynis
	7:18pm Domenico: The "You Are What You Eat" soundtrack with the Teen Age Fair bit by Rosko is also on CD
	7:19pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hi, Glynis! Yeah, Discogs sucks if you have to buy outside the U.S. I don’t pay $20 for shipping.
	7:19pm Domenico: Hi Mom Whig, and Glynis GirlGroupGirl... He's Biblical... Neba-ka-Nezzer
	7:19pm Eric R: I scored on getting records today but I'm kinda sad that my pal is in the position of having to sell some of his LPs.
	7:19pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: I adore this song
	7:20pm Becky Ebenkamp: He was amazing with the First National Band a few years ago.
	7:20pm Domenico: Becky Ebenkamp... Discogs sucks. Two letters off... drop the "gs" but don't trade in your scooter
	7:21pm izzy: Still bummed I missed that Troub show. Had time and everything, but the trip just didn't work out.
	7:21pm izzy: Had tix
	7:22pm Becky Ebenkamp: I learned that a few songs that I thought Mike wrote were written by others.
	7:22pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: I have no issues with Discogs. Some sellers and the postage prices now but no issues with Discogs itself
	7:22pm Becky Ebenkamp: Wow, Izzy. I went to that one. That is quite a drive for you tho.
	7:23pm Eric R: I've had good experiences with eBay, getting good records at a good price and having them show up in good shape.
	7:23pm Domenico: Izzy, that was some time for Troubadour revivals with not only the First National Band, but Richie Furay did an "early Poco" show ... playing the entire Deliverin' LP with Tim coming on stage to sing "Hear That Music"... Troubadour '68-'70 big time. I said Hi to Randy Meisner, who was in the house
	7:23pm Becky Ebenkamp: I have been listening Michael’s lyrics a lot more closely recently.
	7:24pm Becky Ebenkamp: This is my fave.
	7:24pm Becky Ebenkamp: I always thot Nez wrote it.
	7:24pm Shar: Mike's lyrics always had a little extra imagination to them.
	7:24pm izzy: Poco would have been super cool! Haven't made it to the Troub yet. Next time!
	7:26pm Domenico: Izzy, yeah it was just Richie, no Paul or Rusty. But doing all pre-Paul Cotton era Poco (Pogo)
	7:27pm izzy: I saw Richie with Chris Hillman a few years back.
	7:28pm Domenico: Were they called "The Hillman-Furay Band" ha ha...
	🍭 7:28pm MOM WHIG: Aitch - how is your Monday going there?
	7:28pm izzy: They both did solo sets and a few together at the end.
	7:29pm Becky Ebenkamp: Something weird that’s been happening the past month or so: My phone always opens to apps w/o permission. Well, a couple of times I found my phone book open and it was open to Mike Nesmith’s entry. I didn’t remember having one, even. Probably info I took down before the 50th anniversary tour.
	7:29pm Domenico: Clarence White guitar on "What Am I Doin' Hangin' 'Round"...
	7:30pm Becky Ebenkamp: Doug Dillard on banjo!
	7:30pm izzy: Clarence!
	7:30pm Louie: This set is just stellar Becky. I'm loving every second of it.
	7:30pm Domenico: Good one, Becky!
	7:30pm Becky Ebenkamp: Thanks, Louie! I just love his voice. Another fave up next.
	🍭 7:30pm MOM WHIG: Becky - thanks for putting these tunes together for all of us Monkee fans
	7:31pm Androu B.: Now that I hear it, Mike's voice had a similar delivery to that of John Denver. Must be a "country boy" trait. Btw, this song is my fave of his.
	7:31pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Another fave
	🍭 7:31pm MOM WHIG: Andreau - I thought that too about John Denver
	🍭 7:31pm Aitch: Hard at work Mom, loving the Nez stuff. Different drum was my fave of his
	7:31pm Becky Ebenkamp: Love the bass
	7:32pm Becky Ebenkamp: Carol Kaye?
	7:32pm Richard Whig: nice tribute Becky. thank you.
	7:32pm izzy: Gotta go grab Andrew's book to see who it is.
	🍭 7:32pm MOM WHIG: Aitch - good to hear someone has to work (I retired 8 years ago) after working for 46 years.
	7:33pm Eric R: my group did a Monkees set two years ago for a Halloween show. I found a red shirt and sewed on white buttons. You Just May Be the One was one of the songs we did.
	7:33pm Becky Ebenkamp: And, of course, Mike & Micky’s voices blending together: so perfect!
	7:33pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oops, Carole
	🍭 7:33pm MOM WHIG: Eric - do you still have that Shirt?
	7:34pm Eric R: yes, sure do.
	7:34pm izzy: That Cactus Flower sdtk has some good Monkee covers.
	🍭 7:35pm MOM WHIG: Becky - Cactus Flower Movie is hilarious - Goldie
	7:35pm Domenico: Izzy... "There's A Girl In My Soup" was the follow up movie by Goldie Hawn. Both titles SO '60s
	7:36pm izzy: Haven't seen that one, Dom.
	7:36pm izzy: Saw CF not too long ago.
	7:36pm Becky Ebenkamp: I was just thinking I saw it, but I think it was There’s a Girl in My Soup. I love all her movies.
	7:38pm Becky Ebenkamp: Oh, did anyone watch the A&M documentary last Sunday? Part 2 is tonight.
	7:38pm Domenico: I saw them both when I rented them at the same time. They were total fun if in one ear and out the other. They're great for all the Groovy in 'em
	7:38pm izzy: Got to get Epix back to see it.
	7:38pm Eric R: A&M, the record company?
	7:38pm Becky Ebenkamp: I had higher expectations for it. Some good archival stuff, but skimmed over too much.
	7:39pm Shar: You Told Me is another cracking Mike-penned tune. Down the road maybe.
	7:39pm izzy: CF was what the big studios thought was '60s.
	7:39pm Domenico: Eric R., yes, A&M the label. Doc on Epix
	7:40pm Domenico: YES, Izzy. Give me more psychedelic posters! And beads!
	7:40pm izzy: Still haven't seen Get Back. They're piling up!
	7:40pm Eric R: I've got a great rejection letter from A&M. It goes something like "we recently found your tape in a shoebox. It most likely isn't representative of your current sound so we didn't listen to it. Feel free to re-submit"
	7:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: Yes! It’s called Mr. A & Mr. M. That title told me the filmmakers “got it.” It’s been my dream to make a movie about Herb & Jerry and the significance of their label. The doc seemed to get that, but seemed more interested in laundry listing bands like Supertramp.
	7:41pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Yeah!!!
	7:41pm Becky Ebenkamp: I need to play more Equals on this show!
	7:41pm Eric R: Equals every week!
	7:42pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Yes!!
	7:42pm Becky Ebenkamp: Derv Gordon said he’d do an interview
	7:42pm izzy: Supertramp or the Police would NOT be my first thoughts for A & M!
	7:43pm Domenico: There are two Documentaries on Herb/A&M, but not a one on the A&M "Sound" of the '60s. I'm trying to market a music documentary now and it is REALLY HARD getting past finance people who try to turn everything into "Captain Obvious" instead of what things really were.
	7:43pm izzy: I listen to more TJB or Carpenters than those two!
	7:43pm Becky Ebenkamp: “Give a Little Bit” was the opening song. Hell no.
	7:45pm Becky Ebenkamp: IMO, the first ep should have been ‘60s only. No Merry Go Round or B&H!
	7:45pm Becky Ebenkamp: Is a Dutchie a joint?
	7:45pm izzy: Well, the Brian Wison one was mostly talking heads like Taylor Hawkins (?) and Nick Jonas (??) telling me why I should like Brian.
	7:46pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Its a cooking pot: dutch oven
	7:46pm Domenico: Chris Montez' "Call Me"... Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66... The Sandpipers, The TJ Brass... and others... there is a real sound and feel, which may be best exemplified by Burt Bacharach also using the A&M sound in his pre-A&M work. But Rock Idiot Execs would go "what?"
	7:47pm Eric R: I'll take anybody talking about any group/artist if it's not Whoopi Goldberg or Billy Crystal.
	7:47pm Becky Ebenkamp: I hate that kind of doc. I don’t need Thurston Moore’s blessing for validation.
	7:47pm izzy: I'd love your doc, Dom!
	7:47pm Becky Ebenkamp: This song courtesy of Glynis!
	🍭 7:47pm MOM WHIG: Yes, a Glynis Song
	7:48pm Domenico: Izzy... when I saw the ads for the Brian Wilson one, I thought "Wait... Didn't Don Was make this same documentary in the '90s?" With Thurston Moore when he was new, ha ha Becky
	7:48pm Becky Ebenkamp: Did you see Whoopi as an authority on the DC5? WTF?!
	7:48pm Jarema: Fitting M.N. tribute, Becky!
	7:48pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hi, Jarema!
	7:49pm izzy: The exec producer was Brian. Idk what he had to gain putting that out.
	7:49pm Domenico: Izzy when I get to do my doc you will see NO talking heads. Only vintage footage. NOTHING to take you out of the Tyme
	7:49pm Androu B.: Say, Becky, have you ever heard of Rick Lancelot? I've had this 45 for a long time since buying it at a yard sale (in fact I have it right on my desk now). The A-side is "Live Like A Lion". I could probably rip both sides of it to an mp3 and email it to you if you want to have a listen.
	7:49pm Eric R: Dom, that's the way to go
	7:49pm izzy: Sign me up, Dom!
	7:49pm Jarema: Hi, Becky!
	7:49pm Becky Ebenkamp: Maybe I’ll throw something a bit broader together later. I was finished with the show when we got the news Friday morning.
	7:50pm Becky Ebenkamp: No, Androu. Tell me more!
	7:50pm Domenico: Izzy I think "Brian" paid for this to try and capture another era of listeners, since the Don Was era people are already on board. Today is a more airhead time than the '90s so they probably made a more airhead doc
	7:50pm Becky Ebenkamp: BTW, it has really cheered me up talking to all of you—I knew it would. Thank you for being here tonight.
	7:51pm Domenico: Thanks Eric R.
	7:52pm Becky Ebenkamp: Mike really did come around to “getting” why the Monkees were so great. That was cool to experience in person. I noticed that at the 50th anniversary concert as well. He was truly happy to participate.
	7:52pm izzy: If NICK JONAS likes the Beach Boys, they must be good!😉
	🍭 7:52pm MOM WHIG: Becky - yes a Downer this Week for sure - You brought us much happiness with Mike's tunes tonite. Thanks for putting it all together.
	7:53pm Jessie3000: Thanks for a good show. I'm sorry for everyone's loss.
	7:53pm Eric R: oh my gosh...we've talked through the hour already!
	7:53pm Becky Ebenkamp: More Green Wool Cap next on the Whig Out? Tune in and hear: wfmu.org...
	7:54pm Richard Whig: happy byrthdae Eric!!
	7:54pm Corey Light: Great show Becky!! Thank you
	7:54pm Androu B.: t's an interesting little gem from (I'm guessing) the 60's put out by RCA Victor. On it, he's credited as "Rick Lancelot with The 7 Knights". B-side is "Homeless Heart".
	7:54pm izzy: Gotta get this Sweet!
	7:54pm ?: Thanks for the show Becky!
	7:54pm Domenico: Thank you Becky
	7:54pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Thanks Becky!
	7:54pm Cali4nyaStreamin": nice one Becky
	🍭 7:55pm MOM WHIG: Eric - did you get CAKE?
	7:55pm izzy: Great show!
	7:55pm Becky Ebenkamp: H!B!D! Eric!
	🍭 7:55pm MOM WHIG: See you all on the next Dance Floor for Whig Out
	7:55pm Eric R: not yet...Saturday. Give me some of that there Social Security money!!
	7:55pm Richard Whig: thank you Becky!
	7:56pm izzy: Have a great week, all!
	7:56pm Shar: The earth spun little faster listening tonight. Fab show!
	7:56pm Becky Ebenkamp: Thanks, all! And thanks, Mike, Micky & Andrew for keeping the peace all these years ; )
	7:56pm Shar: And Happy Birthday Eric!
	7:57pm Eric R: thanks everyone for the HBDs. Not yet, but I appreciate it.
	7:57pm Androu B.: Thanks much, Becky! Excellent job with the Nez tribute!
	🍭 7:57pm MOM WHIG: Eric - a few good days to be "eternally young".
	7:59pm Androu B.: See you on the Whiggy side, folx!
