	⚡ ♥ 6:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:04 made me think of the train wreck in 'the general' ... the scene was shot somewhere far north of hollywood and i believe the train that fell in the river with the collapse (detonation?) of the bridge in the film, stayed in the river for years... which may be anoyther pertinent analogy
	⚡ ♥ 6:11am Strandlund: Morning Brian, Jeremiah, Listeners!!
	♥ 6:11am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:10 Also considering the lack of trains in contemporary SoCal.
	⚡ ♥ 6:13am tom tom the pipers son: current mood....seems a bridge is getting detonated and the train is going to stay in the river for years
	⚡ ♥ 6:15am tom tom the pipers son: is jeremiah getting a bagel? there's a begel place nearby right?

	♥ 6:34am G: ↳ Fredericks @6:32 Left home Uptown New Orleans 10:10, arrived at beach rental 3:55. Almost all I-10. 305 miles. FLA panhandle coast is a big driving vacation area for folks from Texas to Georgia -- those are the license plates I see here.
	6:39am Cooh John: Good morning Brain and current eventers. tom tom, I am reading a biography on Buster Keaton. The bridge for the train wreck in "The General" was built just for that scene. The most expensive 'visual effect' of all time. I hope it keeps the title.

	⚡ ♥ 7:01am Paulo AD: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:01 Haha home to my apartment
	⚡ ♥ 7:02am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Paulo AD @7:00 It's one of those things I know is technically possible thanks to the wonders of Istanbul and the Chunnel but my mind is still having a hard time wrapping around it
	7:03am Cooh John: Safe travels, Paulo AD. I saw St. Vincent on my birthday on the Mass Seduction tour. We will talk about that next Saturday, Brian.
	⚡ ♥ 7:03am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @7:01 thought so... driving a jaguar through gaza???

	7:12am TDK60: ↳ Paulo AD @7:08 Good day, Paulo. Yes, I was thinking of the geographic challenges. And, of course, the socio-political challenges are greater. Best for your flight.
	7:12am Toothgrinder Tom: @Jeremiah 6:34 mmm, carbs.

	⚡ ♥ 7:35am Paulo AD: Awww, you'll make me cry
	7:40am Fredericks: The GOP today is less a political party and more an inchoate mass of cultural grievances, conspiracy theories, and political slogans.
	7:41am Fredericks: Oliver Caute
	♥ 7:41am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Fredericks @7:40 And a cabal of Russian assets.
	7:42am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @7:22 Hobo Jack? Wonderful! Good for Mark too.

	⚡ ♥ 7:56am Bobby: Hey Brian, Jeremiah, all!
	♥ 7:57am StringOFperils: So, sounding like The US and Russian armies will form a joint strike force to take out Ukraine....and then, I suppose, is at war with Europe and the west' whose ideals it no longer sees as profitable. Jeez? Whatever happened to just the smell of good old Napalm in the morning?
	7:58am ?: The Rubella Umbrella, was basically mandatory to attend public school in the 60s
	7:58am Fredericks: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:46 Right Mister Throat.
	7:58am Fredericks: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:46 Right, Mister Throat.
	⚡ ♥ 7:59am NotARealDoctor: Hopping in the comments to tell everyone that if you are an adult who was vaccinated for measles before 1968 you should consider getting a booster. The vaccine wasn't as effective prior to 1968
	♥ 7:59am ∫ydniuß: we’re all devo!
	7:59am Fredericks: What?
	⚡ ♥ 7:59am Andrew Waterloo: is mono still the kissing decease?

	8:01am annette: @string. i agree. scary. btw: spacex funded billions of tax payer $$$. dont believe smelly musk is rich. sorry for the news
	♥ 8:02am Zip7: ↳ StringOFperils @7:57 I'm surprised that more analysts don't address a major concern about rising European military expenditures -- that other European nations really don't want to see a remilitarized Germany in charge, especially with the far right in ascendance.
	⚡ ♥ 8:02am Bobby: Can you read the sheet straight through in BBC style for us?
	8:02am annette: btw...who will outlaw that rfk painted on tan ???
	⚡ ♥ 8:04am NotARealDoctor: ↳ fred @8:01 Was looking at a turn of 20th century (1907 maybe?) muscle mag for research on an artist and there was an article in there about the horrors of vaccines, just replace autism for the various crippling disabilities the author believed they could cause and it would fit right into the current right wing mediasphere
	♥ 8:05am StringOFperils: ↳ Zip7 @8:02 Everyone will be rearming rapidly to protect themselves form the United States. To paraphrase his orangeness yesterday, "it's what anyone would do." My main wonder is what degree of resistance within the military's ranks will there be? They've pledged allegiance to the commander in chief and they're ready to go...but this, this is insane talk coming out of the oval office.
	♥ 8:05am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @8:02 Ha! I'll save it for the end.
	⚡ ♥ 8:05am dale: ↳ Zip7 @8:02 right? when you see pics of elon musk bemoaning the dilution of german heritage at his video rally to what looks like nazi youth it's very disturbing and not far-fetched.
	8:07am annette: careful about vacs, but the pneumonia one saved me from years of pneumonia and pleurosy. great Doc told me : listen to your body
	⚡ ♥ 8:08am Paulo AD: ↳ fred @7:52 That was the tree god hahah good memories
	⚡ ♥ 8:08am Jim the Poet: good morning
	⚡ ♥ 8:09am Paulo AD: ↳ Jim the Poet @8:08 Howdy Jim, how goes it?
	8:09am TDK60: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:59 NARD- Thanks for that advice. I hadn't known.
	♥ 8:11am Brian D: ↳ Jim the Poet @8:08 Jim! It's not that bad!
	♥ 8:11am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:59 Confound it! Had a checkup at the doctor's this week and didn't ask about a measles booster. I suppose I could call the office this week and ask for advice.
	♥ 8:11am StringOFperils: Meanwhile, things are looking promising on the pledge front. Hmmm....yeah...RFK looking after the Prexz's health, I like that too....a thousand points of light and all that shit...
	⚡ ♥ 8:12am NotARealDoctor: ↳ TDK60 @8:09 It's recent advice, apparently up until 1989 they were only doing one dose as well, so maybe those of us vaccinated before 1989 will have to be re vaccinated as well soon too
	8:12am annette: @string: yer killing me. 🤣
	⚡ ♥ 8:13am Paulo AD: ↳ Song: "Selo moje (My Village)" by "Gordan" Sounds like outside
	⚡ ♥ 8:14am Mike Sin: People! Pledge and keep important shows like this on the air for another year!
	⚡ ♥ 8:14am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Feel Like A Dollar" by "The Moles" G’morning. Saw the cool and funny moles open for Tobin sprout, coupla Saturdays ago at union pool(bklyn). Chatted w singer after and he’s so nuts. And a litigation lawyer in real life (right, being in a band is fake life). Oh wait, I’ve not pledged yet. Oops
	⚡ ♥ 8:14am Paulo AD: Brian, thank you so much for the reply my friend, love you loads :)
	⚡ ♥ 8:15am dale: get a shingles vax too. i had it on one side of my head moving down my face. caught it early but had to have my eyes checked too since it can cause blindness on that side. every once in a while (less often now) i can still feel a nerve burning where it was on the crown of my noggin.
	⚡ ♥ 8:16am herb.nyc: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:59 I’m in my 60s. And got measles mump rubella shot recently, on dr’s advice. Truly worrisome what is going on in Texas, and now in NYC
	⚡ ♥ 8:17am herb.nyc: ↳ herb.nyc @8:16 It’s an MMR shot. WMMR is a cool station in Cleveland?
	♥ 8:17am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:59 Next dr appointment, I'll be doing just that. Off to a ski race. Signing off but still listening. Be well everyone.
	♥ 8:17am StringOFperils: Had that across my shoulder blades and man was that painful...didn't get it sought to soon enough. Like dreaming of being in a house fire, but waking up to find that although it was a dream, you have the third degree burns...looked like leaky pizza
	8:17am annette: 6 folks in my family had that blasted shingles. got the vac to stay ahead. use common sense .
	⚡ ♥ 8:17am Jeremiah: We are super-close to $2k-just need 5 more prize-qualifying pledges!
	♥ 8:18am StringOFperils: *shingles....
	⚡ ♥ 8:19am dale: ↳ StringOFperils @8:17 leaky pizza.....
	♥ 8:20am StringOFperils: ↳ dale @8:19 I know. It was too far.
	8:21am annette: shingles ? stay away from repairing the roof
	8:22am Fredericks: Isn't Glorified Janitor playing at GonerFest this year?
	⚡ ♥ 8:24am Mike Sin: Been listening since summer 1983 -- Bill Kelly's "Mindless Teenage Brainrot" was my gateway show.
	♥ 8:24am duke: Yay! Reached the goal
	⚡ ♥ 8:25am herb.nyc: re Ken, first times I heard his wed 9am show AND his 7sd w Andy, I HATED both (or, not hate but couldn’t GET it). Then finally, it clicked. ie, just be patient, wfmu will align with you
	8:25am morphe': My [probably too often repeated finding FMU story] '79-80 =-looking for NYU's Afternoon show on an analog radio at work and came across an FMU Marathon where the djs were threatening to play the Doobie Brothers if they did not get pledges ... Sold !!!!

	⚡ ♥ 8:28am NotARealDoctor: Repeating our finding story over and over is part of the ritual. My supervisor at work directed me to it. Came to the station through Ken, stayed for Sheila B, expanded through Wake and Bake to everything else

	8:31am annette: i tune in and cannot believe all the work YOU ALL put in to keeping the world sane. you are all first on my list if i ever win the lottery. 🤗

	⚡ ♥ 8:48am dale: ↳ morphe' @8:35 inspired by incident at owl creek bridge.
	⚡ ♥ 8:48am john_zilla: damn I did it without logged in no emoji!!
	8:49am Fredericks: Caught him at Toad's Place 1982. What a performer.

	⚡ ♥ 6:11am Strandlund: Morning Brian, Jeremiah, Listeners!!
	♥ 6:11am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:10 Also considering the lack of trains in contemporary SoCal.

	♥ 6:34am G: ↳ Fredericks @6:32 Left home Uptown New Orleans 10:10, arrived at beach rental 3:55. Almost all I-10. 305 miles. FLA panhandle coast is a big driving vacation area for folks from Texas to Georgia -- those are the license plates I see here.
	6:39am Cooh John: Good morning Brain and current eventers. tom tom, I am reading a biography on Buster Keaton. The bridge for the train wreck in "The General" was built just for that scene. The most expensive 'visual effect' of all time. I hope it keeps the title.

	⚡ ♥ 7:01am Paulo AD: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:01 Haha home to my apartment
	⚡ ♥ 7:02am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Paulo AD @7:00 It's one of those things I know is technically possible thanks to the wonders of Istanbul and the Chunnel but my mind is still having a hard time wrapping around it
	7:03am Cooh John: Safe travels, Paulo AD. I saw St. Vincent on my birthday on the Mass Seduction tour. We will talk about that next Saturday, Brian.

	⚡ ♥ 7:59am NotARealDoctor: Hopping in the comments to tell everyone that if you are an adult who was vaccinated for measles before 1968 you should consider getting a booster. The vaccine wasn't as effective prior to 1968

	8:01am annette: @string. i agree. scary. btw: spacex funded billions of tax payer $$$. dont believe smelly musk is rich. sorry for the news
	♥ 8:02am Zip7: ↳ StringOFperils @7:57 I'm surprised that more analysts don't address a major concern about rising European military expenditures -- that other European nations really don't want to see a remilitarized Germany in charge, especially with the far right in ascendance.
	⚡ ♥ 8:02am Bobby: Can you read the sheet straight through in BBC style for us?
	8:02am annette: btw...who will outlaw that rfk painted on tan ???
	⚡ ♥ 8:04am NotARealDoctor: ↳ fred @8:01 Was looking at a turn of 20th century (1907 maybe?) muscle mag for research on an artist and there was an article in there about the horrors of vaccines, just replace autism for the various crippling disabilities the author believed they could cause and it would fit right into the current right wing mediasphere
	♥ 8:05am StringOFperils: ↳ Zip7 @8:02 Everyone will be rearming rapidly to protect themselves form the United States. To paraphrase his orangeness yesterday, "it's what anyone would do." My main wonder is what degree of resistance within the military's ranks will there be? They've pledged allegiance to the commander in chief and they're ready to go...but this, this is insane talk coming out of the oval office.
	♥ 8:05am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @8:02 Ha! I'll save it for the end.
	⚡ ♥ 8:05am dale: ↳ Zip7 @8:02 right? when you see pics of elon musk bemoaning the dilution of german heritage at his video rally to what looks like nazi youth it's very disturbing and not far-fetched.
	8:07am annette: careful about vacs, but the pneumonia one saved me from years of pneumonia and pleurosy. great Doc told me : listen to your body
	⚡ ♥ 8:08am Paulo AD: ↳ fred @7:52 That was the tree god hahah good memories

	8:09am TDK60: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:59 NARD- Thanks for that advice. I hadn't known.
	♥ 8:11am Brian D: ↳ Jim the Poet @8:08 Jim! It's not that bad!
	♥ 8:11am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:59 Confound it! Had a checkup at the doctor's this week and didn't ask about a measles booster. I suppose I could call the office this week and ask for advice.

	⚡ ♥ 8:12am NotARealDoctor: ↳ TDK60 @8:09 It's recent advice, apparently up until 1989 they were only doing one dose as well, so maybe those of us vaccinated before 1989 will have to be re vaccinated as well soon too
