	9:05am Van in DC: Very nice. Kind of reminiscent (to me) of classical guitarist David Russell.

	9:05am nah: hello, Joe! And the rest of you also.
	9:07am SeanG: Yo Joe!
	9:07am Joe McG: Good morning to you all! I just finished my cereal.
	9:09am Guido from Cologne: Cereal makes appetite for American Primitive Guitar Raga?
	9:11am Whooda: Good morning DJ Joe McGasko
	9:11am Joe McG: @Guido: Yes, it's sort of like aural shredded wheat.
	9:12am Whooda: I always wondered where the term 'guitar shredding' came from.
	9:13am Joe McG: @whooda: Ha ha!
	9:14am Marcel M: Good morning Joe, good morning everyone.
	9:18am listener james from westwood: Glad I'm not the only one to have faved this "Topeka AM" cut. Perfect track for a calm morning of copyediting.
	9:18am earrie: A better morning with this start. Restart.
	9:24am listener james from westwood: CTRL-ALT-Delight!
	9:31am maestroso: That Kongos was great. Never heard it before.
	9:37am MD: Hello Joe...What cha know? Digging the show!!! no more snow!!! happy Spring morning to all...REBIRTH!!!
	9:40am Roberto: I recall Charlie struggled with the same G, G & F question some years back.
	9:40am Van in DC: I drove my bike through Kansas once...
	9:41am listener james from westwood: Our man on the Drummer Stream, Uncle Michael, is your source for all things Topeka.
	9:44am kirk from beer city usa: teenage burritos! best band name I've heard all day!
	9:45am KP: I'll take the Teenage Burritos, please
	9:46am Joe McG: @Roberto: I still don't know! @james: How could I forget! Duh!
	9:46am kat330: @KP: I believe you can get such whenever you want at the place that thinks outside the box. Are they the kids of the Flying Burrito Bros?
	9:47am common: bye bye kitty cat is one of the greatest songs ever!
	9:48am KP: They would have to be grand kids from looks of them.
	9:50am kat330: Grand? Well, I couldn't speak to their characters or personalities.
	9:53am Greg from Bloomfield: Joe I forgot my headphones but the other day I found some old headphones and I said I should put these old headphones in my bag so they're there in case I forget my good headphones so I DO have headphones WHEW!
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Hey Joe & listeners. Is that a new Thievery Corp?
	9:53am Whooda: @Kat Teenage Burritos churro unpredictable, today they cling to mommy, but tamale they'll demand their independence.
	9:54am kat330: Ah, wordplay after my heart.
	9:58am KP: Kat330, re the Flying Burritos, including later members, two of them died of old age. So their kids would be already ancient
	9:58am kat330: @Brian: It says 2014, so it's a safe bet it is.
	9:58am Roberto: Damn, now I find out there's a song for someone named Rachel. Too bad we broke up in 1989.
	9:59am kat330: @KP: Yes, I realize I probably skipped a generation. Just took the expedient route.
	9:59am Joe McG: @Roberto: Oh, Roberto!
	9:59am Davee: This is Perfect!
	10:00am kat330: Yeah, kinda Elvis C. & the Attractions sounding.
	10:01am Davee: Needs heavier drums . . .
	10:02am Roberto: I'm over it.
	10:02am βrian: I'm not so sure. You've got to imagine a threesome on a small stage with a single mike.
	10:03am Joe McG: @Roberto: I hope you don't meet someone named Karen.
	10:03am βrian: Or, perhaps I should say, "trio."
	10:04am Joe McG: @Brian: I'm imagining that and not even seeing a band.
	10:05am kat330: @Joe: Where are my manners! Good Morning! :)
	10:06am Davee: Hey Joe, Any songs about Martha today?
	10:06am Roberto: No, but my next gf lived with someone named Karen.
	10:07am Joe McG: Hi, kat! @Davee: No, unless there's a power pop version of "Martha, My Dear."
	10:07am Davee: Aw Shucks.
	10:09am kat330: Re; Martha, My Dear, I sure hope no one's ex-girlfriend was a dog -- in the literal sense anyway.
	10:10am βrian: Speaking of shucks, is it too early to start obsessing about lunch? I had some beautiful oysters the other day.
	10:10am ceedubbles: Billy Joel with the Knack?
	10:11am kat330: @Davee: Your Martha (ex or current) wasn't an ex-con by any chance?
	10:13am βrian: It's hard to imagine anything is from Rockford, but it's a big ole goofy world.
	👻 10:13am Brian in UK: @βrian a plateful of Fruits de Mer would do nicely, fresh bread. cold glass of Sancerre.
	10:13am Roberto: Someone made this pun already a while ago, but you just brought it up again -- Nu Shooz? I can't wait!
	10:14am Stevel: Thank you for helping to de-logy-ise my morning as well.
	10:15am Roberto: My wife just saw Ric on the street here in Manhattan.
	10:15am βrian: Sancerre ! Extase !
	10:17am kay: I grew up with Z-95!!! I remember when they got a lot of backlash for being a little too "New Wave" in the early 80s and people started to deface their bumper stickers.
	10:17am kat330: If anyone here is / was a fan of Slint, our local Lullville alternative paper has a feature article about them here: www.leoweekly.com...
	👻 10:18am Brian in UK: @βrian bit of a trot for you from the isthmus, simple basic fare with the water a few feet away and the oysters even closer. Lovverly. www.the-company-shed.co.uk
	10:18am Joe McG: @kay: That's true! They were pretty progressive for a small city in PA, I always thought. Got my "Freebird," but I also got my Icehouse!
	10:21am DCE: @kat330, I believe they are heading up north to CLE for a show in May, which I shall attend
	👻 10:21am 12539: Motorcyle Wall of Death, great band name.
	10:22am βrian: Damn. I'll bring my cheque book.
	10:23am Whooda: I stepped away, what are we watching?
	10:23am Ike: Seems like the smaller and medium-sized cities and towns often used to get the more adventurous and risk-taking commercial stations (WOXY in Ohio, WEQX in Vermont, the old WHFS in Annapolis/Baltimore), while NYC has the most boring commercial stations perhaps because they're so expensive to buy and require so much investment.
	10:23am kat330: @DCE: Did you catch them in any earlier time? As they article noted, they initially only did about 30 shows total that maybe 1,000 people saw.
	10:25am DCE: no, I'm not aware if they'd ever come to Cleveland in the early incarnation
	10:25am Adrian in London: This sounds like Messham's Wall of Death. My wife took a ride on it: spectaclemagazine.com... Scroll down to the second story. She's braver than me!
	10:25am Marcel M: I really only listen to Blue Cheer's first record, which is one of my favorites, so when I hear stuff like this I'm like, "whaaa?!"
	10:25am DCE: this is so NOT Blue Cheer Blue Cheer!
	10:26am DCE: it's OK but I would never call it Blue Cheer
	10:26am Marcel M: @DCE: Agreed
	10:29am Joe McG: Blue Cheer feels very sad now. Very blue.
	10:29am Marcel M: That first record is so so good its insane.
	10:32am βrian: Reel-to-reel?
	👻 10:32am 12539: You know, it really SHOULD be 45 minutes of 45 rpm.
	👻 10:33am Brian in UK: @Adrian Circus Critic I love it.
	10:33am will: Yes but the second record Outside Inside has such great songs.
	👻 10:33am Brian in UK: @Joe My World is one of my favourite 70s singles from Sarf Lunnon.
	10:34am Joe McG: @12539: I think you right!
	10:34am Marcel M: Yeah Outside Inside has its moments. I love how Keiji Haino in an interview said he was influenced by Blue Cheer and Albert Ayler and thats it.
	10:34am Michele: HI JOE!!!
	10:35am KP: The second Blue Cheer album is pretty good too but then guitarist Leigh Stephens quit (never to be heard from again). They meandered around for while but went back to power trio, pretty great one too judging by bootlegs
	10:35am Irene Trudel: Always liked this Secret Affair song! I might even have a copy somewhere.Thanks for playing it.
	10:36am Marcel M: Randy Holden eventually joined Blue Cheer, but he never shined with them like he did on his solo record Population 2. That record is amazing.
	10:36am KP: No idea Dave Davies recorded on his own that far back, Joe
	10:36am Joe McG: MICHELE! @Irene: My pleasure!!
	10:37am Dominick: Billy Joe What's-His-Face must have been conceived while Secret Affair was playing
	10:38am kat330: Experience IS helpful though.
	10:38am βrian: Billy Joe McAllister?
	10:39am Cuspidor: wow, disco saw
	10:40am Dominick: This song has everything!
	10:40am Greg from Bloomfield: I am speechless.
	10:40am Cuspidor: got any disco Theremin?
	10:41am steve: yay disco saw!
	10:41am Stevel: waka chicka waka chicka waka chicka
	10:43am Sigurdur: Hey man, nice to hear that you got the rhythm locked down. . .
	10:43am Joe McG: The nicest thing about the disco saw record is that he's dressed in a tux on the sleeve and it says "America's Foremost Sawist"
	👻 10:45am Brian in UK: Far seeing? I sawist the mostist.
	10:46am kat330: I liked that you went from saw to C.
	10:46am listener james from westwood: Jumpin' country cut, that Bobby Wayne!
	10:46am Whooda: My Mom usually bought a dollars worth of gas per stop back in the day.
	10:46am Cuspidor: sounds like Gary Busey
	10:46am kat330: Chirp! (and click)
	10:48am βrian: That was Ray Bryant? Very nice. I need to go dig up "Alone with the Blues."
	10:48am Alessia: Adriaaaanooooo!
	10:48am Joe McG: @kat: Nice!
	10:49am Whooda: I don't know what's he's singing about but I don't think it's about winning the lottery.
	10:49am βrian: Fill up the tank, get your oil checked and windows washed, and get a free tumbler with a B.C. character on it.
	10:51am Joe McG: @Alessia: Any idea what our good friend is singing about? Something about getting out the door? Or going to a port in a different city?
	10:52am maestroso: First Adriano song I've heard that wasn't "Prisencolonensenainciusol"... I like it
	10:52am kat330: "And another time close the door" according to Google Translate.
	10:53am Joe McG: Google says "Another Time Close the Door," which doesn't quite make sense.
	10:53am Alessia: He's singing to his friend about the girl they are both in love with, Adriano is pretty sure that even if his friend is taking her away, she will run back to him, because he can take a body away but the mind stays where the person you love is. Adriano is also asking his friend to go away and close the door.
	10:53am Joe McG: You beat me, kat!
	10:53am kat330: :)
	10:53am βrian: She hits you with a flower.
	10:53am Joe McG: Thanks, Alessia! It's a "Go Away and Close the Door Behind You" sort of thing.
	10:54am Whosondephone: HEY!!! WHAT'S UP WITH THE SPEED?
	10:55am Joe McG: @Whoson: Sorry! The single is pressed off-centre and I tried to make it work. Oh well!
	10:57am Alessia: Yes, and "un'altra volta" in this case translates with "again" which means that he supposedly asked for his friend to go away a couple of times already.. You are welcome! :)
	10:57am mariano: @Joe: or, as we say in the South, don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
	10:58am KevininBayRidge: Sitting on 3rd Ave enjoying the he'll outta this set!!
	10:59am Whooda: @Joe I think it's more of a "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out" kinda song. :) @Alessia Thanks for the great translation. I knew there had to be a door in there somewhere.
	11:00am Whooda: @Mariano great gutter minds think alike.
	11:01am kat330: A bit off-color, but this lyric startled me when I heard on, Fallon's show I believe: "Don't let the doorknob hit you where the good lord split you."
	11:01am mariano: @Whooda: yeah, we always seem to wind up in the same gutter ;)
	11:01am kat330: Oh, shoot, Mariano, I SWEAR I did not see your comment before I typed mine!!
	11:01am Billy Jam: JOE!!! - good to be tuned in today to your show
	11:02am βrian: "I'm going to put my left foot on the right side of your face. And there's nothing you can do about it." (Or some such.)
	11:02am mariano: @kat330: welcome to the gutter!
	11:03am Whooda: Billy Jack was a bad-ass and I think he even rode a bike...but no bitches.
	11:03am Eric: The Legend of Billy Jack was actually a sequal
	11:03am kat330: Ah, but I'm staring at the stars!
	👻 11:03am Brian in UK: Take a powder?
	11:04am βrian: Nay, he rode a motorcycle.
	11:06am mariano: Billy Jack was a Native American master of Hapkido and a Green Beret 'Nam vet. Can't have your bases more covered than that when it comes to badassery!
	11:06am Cecile: hi, all!
	11:06am Sigurdur: Hi Cici
	11:06am kat330: (@Mariano: and I do prefer the addition of "knob" to the lyric. Makes it more pointed.)
	11:06am Alessia: hi Cecile!
	11:07am steve: dam, i dont think i've heard Paul Barman's name in 10 years. i did have his first CD (circa 2000?)!
	11:07am Rev. Turnip Druid: BAH! I ran out of time & couldn't get my Lou Tune together for the 'minotaurs... waah & baah.
	11:07am Rev. Turnip Druid: 'mornin, troops.
	11:07am Whooda: @Brian I'm pretty sure he had cool lowrider schwinn with the chain steering wheel, tassles on the hand grips and sweet chopper forks chromed up. The playing card in the spokes just made it sound like a motorcycle :)
	11:08am βrian: Hey, Cecile. Are the smelt still running?
	11:08am mariano: @kat330: I like the doorknob bit too, very graphic!
	11:09am βrian: And the banana seat, yo.
	11:10am Greg from Bloomfield: OOOoooh...cancel my date and go to that Jowe + Jason show?
	11:10am Whooda: Si' pink and purple tuch'n'roll on the seat esse.
	11:11am Cecile: hey siggi.
	11:11am Joe McG: @Eric: What was the first one called? I don't recall.
	👻 11:13am Brian in UK: GP out of it.
	11:14am Cecile: Brian, don't know. I don't even think the lake has thawed enough up there for the smelt to get in!
	11:16am KP: Thanks, Joe
	11:16am Ike: Wow, Laura Cantrell sounds better than ever.
	11:18am Joe McG: I agree, Ike, a very strong album!
	11:19am Davee: I'd love to hear something else from the new Laura album
	11:19am Joe McG: @Davee: That's a request, and I may even honor it before the end of the show!
	👻 11:21am Brian in UK: Have to agree, Laura has never sounded better. Shame John Peel cannot hear her.
	11:22am Dean: Second Davee's request.
	11:24am Greg from Bloomfield: Lovin' this set, Joe. It sounds like driving around with my brother.
	11:26am Joe McG: @Greg: Is your brother a truck driver by chance?
	👻 11:27am Brian in UK: Odd how draftees were abused on arriving back from Vietnam and now volunteers from Iraq or Afghanistan are thanked openly.
	11:28am Sigurdur: John Prine You got gold............ Just because Nahville got a sense of humour
	11:28am Nanker de Tucson: Loved that Gram Parsons live track!
	11:29am Cecile: nice. Waylon sings the truth.
	11:30am Cecile: Brian, I think people figured out that blaming soldiers for the war was divisive and didn't address the real problem. It's nice to know that some things have improved.
	👻 11:31am Brian in UK: .....and kiss the children for me.
	11:31am Whooda: @Brian as a country we had such a guilt complex for blaming the troops for the crimes of the politicians that we over-compensated with the troops coming back from the most recent politician's crimes. Seems we haven't learned much.
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: @Cecile now it is how to save money with a reserve force. We over here could learn from yourselves in this respect. Ahhhhh Jesse. Great first album.
	11:33am Ike: Nicely put, Cecile@11:30.
	11:33am Joe McG: Sending good vibes to Jesse, who isn't feeling too well.
	11:33am Greg from Bloomfield: He is not! He's the country/blues brother. Then there's the jazz/soul/hip-hop brother. (I am the FMU brother...)
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: Jesse A draft dodger?
	11:34am earrie: PR (and related) is a multi bililion dollar industry in 2014. It sure wasn't then. Places everybody. Annnnnd: action!
	11:34am Whooda: @Brian I take that back. We stopped the politicians from putting more criminal boots into Syria. Yeah for us.
	11:34am PJ: Brian, you are relying on what appears to be an urban myth; there is no evidence that returning Vietnam veterans were spat on or otherwise abused by war protestors. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spitting_Image.
	11:35am KP: Oh, Jesse. I saw him when he was a draft dodger, and still a kid, at the Yellow Door in Montreal.
	11:35am earrie: It's interesting/disgusting to see the next wave of marketing effort toward the next big weapons/military spending.
	11:35am Cecile: Thanks Joe. It's hard to believe now the kind of warm press attention and coverage greeted Jesse when he returned from Canada in the late 70s.
	11:37am Whooda: @PJ you might want to check to see how long it took for a Vietnam memorial to be erected anywhere, much less Washington.
	11:37am Cecile: PJ, maybe the spitting didn't happen. And a lot of vets joined the antiwar movement when they got back. I think more that it was they were ignored and kind of disrespected. People didn't want to face what happened.
	11:37am northguineahills: wait, How did Doug play this Laura track back in Oct?
	11:38am Cecile: Even the more established vets organizations looked a bit askance at the 'nam vets. THey eventually warmed up (and died off, to be honest).
	11:39am Joe McG: @ngh: He's connected!
	11:39am KP: Jesse was pardoned by Jimmy Carter. I saw him again soon after that on a huge bill at Tanglewood. He was having the time of his life and so was the crowd,
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: @PJ I was listening to a programme just the other day and a returning draftee had the spitting experience, that was what I based my comment on. How bad is Jesse?
	11:39am Cecile: Doug spelled backwards is Goud.
	11:39am blee: Loving this set, Joe. Grand show you've got here.
	11:40am Joe McG: Thanks there, blee!
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: Shall we call him Dog.
	11:40am ranjit: Ditto! Also, it turns out you can whistle "Yakity Sax" along with this Connie Smith song and it works pretty well.
	11:41am northguineahills: This set is great for unfogging my brain. Thanks Joe!
	11:41am Cecile: hahahahah, Brian, we should probably run it by him first as he is Goud.
	11:41am Davee: Thank you
	11:42am KP: Wow I did not know he was in fact still alive. Amazing how these things get out there
	11:42am Cecile: Brian, he's really sick. Not a good prognosis.
	11:43am Kurt Gottschalk: ahhhh... i was walking down the street and couldn't check, but i knew i recognized sweet laura's voice.
	11:43am PJ: Whooda: the Vietnam War Memorial was dedicated in 1982, seven years after the end of the war (I happened to be there as well.) I'm not sure what your point is - it was decades before memorials to WWII or Korea were constructed.
	11:44am Cecile: this is a different side to Lone Justice. I really did not like their studio recordings
	11:44am Whooda: @Brian we are using Greystone (Blackwater) mercenaries in Ukraine now. www.liveleak.com...
	11:45am Joe McG: @Cecile: This is by far the best stuff they ever did and it FINALLY has come out! Hooray!
	👻 11:45am Brian in UK: Cecile I did not know, not another bluddy tribute show on FMU coming up. Never saw him but I felt he is a decent fella.
	11:46am Kristin in Berlin: Lovely set!!
	11:47am Cecile: Joe, people were so afraid to make records that rocked on major labels in the 80s that it was a shame.The Scorchers and Lone Justice really suffered. And I might be a special snowflake, but I think Mitchell Froom was the worst thing to happen to roots-rock EVER.
	11:47am PJ: Cecile: People in general don't want to face what happens during war. There certainly isn't a terrible amount of interest in the US about what happened during the Iraq War or after or in Afghanistan now.
	11:48am Joe McG: @Cecile: You are so right.
	11:48am Joe McG: Hi, Kristin in Berlin!
	11:50am Whooda: @PJ Wikileaks " Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from December 1956[A 1] to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975" that's 29 years between the start of the war and the memorial.
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: @PJ Currently there is more interest being paid to the centenary of the First World War. Why do we love anniversaries with round numbers.
	11:50am Cecile: I loved the Georgia Satellites record so much as a reaction. They weren't the best band, but their production was PERFECT. And it rocked. PJ: yeah, right now Gulf War and Iraq/Afghanistan vets are plot points on drama shows. But apart from the occasional thing on the Military Channel, there's next to no context about what's happening, how we are fighting, etc..
	11:51am Cecile: Speaking of someone who should be on her deathbed...
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: Jason Isbell has been giving it some context in his songs in recent years.
	11:52am MikeY: Great stuff Carlene Carter you dont hear her much outside country radio
	11:52am Guido from Cologne: This Country section came just right for me here fighting problems @ work! Thanks 4 the nice show Joe & CU next week!
	11:53am DCE: wow it's been awhile since I heard any version of Green Green Grass
	11:53am Cecile: Old hee haw joke: "on the porch is my papa with a shotgun..."
	11:53am MikeY: iTS GOOD TO SMOKE THE GREEN BUDS OF HOME!
	11:54am Whooda: Last word; we didn't want to acknowledge the war because we got our asses whooped and we blamed it all on the soldiers.
	👻 11:54am Brian in UK: Is that the time, McGasko you have done me again. Great show.
	11:55am mariano: I like what Kevin Kline said in Fish Called Wanda: We did not lose Vietnam! It was a tie!
	11:55am northguineahills: @Cecile: I concur about the Georgia Satellites. Thanks for another wonderful morning, Joe!
	11:55am Jeff: These are not your cheery homecoming stories.
	11:56am Jay/London: Hi Brian Yes it's always that time
	11:56am MikeY: Thankx for a great show . Enjoyed it whilst doing taxes
	11:56am PJ: Whooda: I don't know where you're getting the "we blamed it all on the soldiers" bit. My recollection is that people, in general, blamed it all on the politicians and the generals.
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian, and ngh! In fact, thanks everybody for listening and commenting. See you next time! Have a great week.
	11:57am mariano: Thanks for a great show, Joe, and bye everyone!
	11:57am nah: great show mr. joe! good for painting wargame miniatures.
	11:57am Cecile: hahahaha, nah. THat's what my husband does.
	11:58am Whooda: @Thanks a million DJ Joe McGasko
	👻 11:59am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	11:59am Greg from Bloomfield: Thanks much, Joe!
	11:59am nah: Cecile: it is the only thing I can do while listening to radio without losing focus on one or the other. And I like being able to multitask.
	11:59am earrie: Good teachers are my heroes!

	9:05am Van in DC: Very nice. Kind of reminiscent (to me) of classical guitarist David Russell.
	9:05am DCE: Morning, Joe..."continue to realm"? makes my head spin...
	9:05am nah: hello, Joe! And the rest of you also.
	9:07am SeanG: Yo Joe!
	9:07am Joe McG: Good morning to you all! I just finished my cereal.
	9:09am Guido from Cologne: Cereal makes appetite for American Primitive Guitar Raga?
	9:11am Whooda: Good morning DJ Joe McGasko
	9:11am Joe McG: @Guido: Yes, it's sort of like aural shredded wheat.
	9:12am Whooda: I always wondered where the term 'guitar shredding' came from.
	9:13am Joe McG: @whooda: Ha ha!
	9:14am Marcel M: Good morning Joe, good morning everyone.
	9:18am listener james from westwood: Glad I'm not the only one to have faved this "Topeka AM" cut. Perfect track for a calm morning of copyediting.
	9:18am earrie: A better morning with this start. Restart.
	9:24am listener james from westwood: CTRL-ALT-Delight!
	9:31am maestroso: That Kongos was great. Never heard it before.
	9:37am MD: Hello Joe...What cha know? Digging the show!!! no more snow!!! happy Spring morning to all...REBIRTH!!!
	9:40am Roberto: I recall Charlie struggled with the same G, G & F question some years back.
	9:40am Van in DC: I drove my bike through Kansas once...
	9:41am listener james from westwood: Our man on the Drummer Stream, Uncle Michael, is your source for all things Topeka.
	9:44am kirk from beer city usa: teenage burritos! best band name I've heard all day!
	9:45am KP: I'll take the Teenage Burritos, please
	9:46am Joe McG: @Roberto: I still don't know! @james: How could I forget! Duh!
	9:46am kat330: @KP: I believe you can get such whenever you want at the place that thinks outside the box. Are they the kids of the Flying Burrito Bros?
	9:47am common: bye bye kitty cat is one of the greatest songs ever!
	9:48am KP: They would have to be grand kids from looks of them.
	9:50am kat330: Grand? Well, I couldn't speak to their characters or personalities.
	9:53am Greg from Bloomfield: Joe I forgot my headphones but the other day I found some old headphones and I said I should put these old headphones in my bag so they're there in case I forget my good headphones so I DO have headphones WHEW!
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Hey Joe & listeners. Is that a new Thievery Corp?
	9:53am Whooda: @Kat Teenage Burritos churro unpredictable, today they cling to mommy, but tamale they'll demand their independence.
	9:54am kat330: Ah, wordplay after my heart.
	9:58am KP: Kat330, re the Flying Burritos, including later members, two of them died of old age. So their kids would be already ancient
	9:58am kat330: @Brian: It says 2014, so it's a safe bet it is.
	9:58am Roberto: Damn, now I find out there's a song for someone named Rachel. Too bad we broke up in 1989.
	9:59am kat330: @KP: Yes, I realize I probably skipped a generation. Just took the expedient route.
	9:59am Joe McG: @Roberto: Oh, Roberto!
	9:59am Davee: This is Perfect!
	10:00am kat330: Yeah, kinda Elvis C. & the Attractions sounding.
	10:01am Davee: Needs heavier drums . . .
	10:02am Roberto: I'm over it.
	10:02am βrian: I'm not so sure. You've got to imagine a threesome on a small stage with a single mike.
	10:03am Joe McG: @Roberto: I hope you don't meet someone named Karen.
	10:03am βrian: Or, perhaps I should say, "trio."
	10:04am Joe McG: @Brian: I'm imagining that and not even seeing a band.
	10:05am kat330: @Joe: Where are my manners! Good Morning! :)
	10:06am Davee: Hey Joe, Any songs about Martha today?
	10:06am Roberto: No, but my next gf lived with someone named Karen.
	10:07am Joe McG: Hi, kat! @Davee: No, unless there's a power pop version of "Martha, My Dear."
	10:07am Davee: Aw Shucks.
	10:09am kat330: Re; Martha, My Dear, I sure hope no one's ex-girlfriend was a dog -- in the literal sense anyway.
	10:10am βrian: Speaking of shucks, is it too early to start obsessing about lunch? I had some beautiful oysters the other day.
	10:10am ceedubbles: Billy Joel with the Knack?
	10:11am kat330: @Davee: Your Martha (ex or current) wasn't an ex-con by any chance?
	10:13am βrian: It's hard to imagine anything is from Rockford, but it's a big ole goofy world.
	👻 10:13am Brian in UK: @βrian a plateful of Fruits de Mer would do nicely, fresh bread. cold glass of Sancerre.
	10:13am Roberto: Someone made this pun already a while ago, but you just brought it up again -- Nu Shooz? I can't wait!
	10:14am Stevel: Thank you for helping to de-logy-ise my morning as well.
	10:15am Roberto: My wife just saw Ric on the street here in Manhattan.
	10:15am βrian: Sancerre ! Extase !
	10:17am kay: I grew up with Z-95!!! I remember when they got a lot of backlash for being a little too "New Wave" in the early 80s and people started to deface their bumper stickers.
	10:17am kat330: If anyone here is / was a fan of Slint, our local Lullville alternative paper has a feature article about them here: www.leoweekly.com...
	👻 10:18am Brian in UK: @βrian bit of a trot for you from the isthmus, simple basic fare with the water a few feet away and the oysters even closer. Lovverly. www.the-company-shed.co.uk
	10:18am Joe McG: @kay: That's true! They were pretty progressive for a small city in PA, I always thought. Got my "Freebird," but I also got my Icehouse!
	10:21am DCE: @kat330, I believe they are heading up north to CLE for a show in May, which I shall attend
	👻 10:21am 12539: Motorcyle Wall of Death, great band name.
	10:22am βrian: Damn. I'll bring my cheque book.
	10:23am Whooda: I stepped away, what are we watching?
	10:23am Ike: Seems like the smaller and medium-sized cities and towns often used to get the more adventurous and risk-taking commercial stations (WOXY in Ohio, WEQX in Vermont, the old WHFS in Annapolis/Baltimore), while NYC has the most boring commercial stations perhaps because they're so expensive to buy and require so much investment.
	10:23am kat330: @DCE: Did you catch them in any earlier time? As they article noted, they initially only did about 30 shows total that maybe 1,000 people saw.
	10:25am DCE: no, I'm not aware if they'd ever come to Cleveland in the early incarnation
	10:25am Adrian in London: This sounds like Messham's Wall of Death. My wife took a ride on it: spectaclemagazine.com... Scroll down to the second story. She's braver than me!
	10:25am Marcel M: I really only listen to Blue Cheer's first record, which is one of my favorites, so when I hear stuff like this I'm like, "whaaa?!"
	10:25am DCE: this is so NOT Blue Cheer Blue Cheer!
	10:26am DCE: it's OK but I would never call it Blue Cheer
	10:26am Marcel M: @DCE: Agreed
	10:29am Joe McG: Blue Cheer feels very sad now. Very blue.
	10:29am Marcel M: That first record is so so good its insane.
	10:32am βrian: Reel-to-reel?
	👻 10:32am 12539: You know, it really SHOULD be 45 minutes of 45 rpm.
	👻 10:33am Brian in UK: @Adrian Circus Critic I love it.
	10:33am will: Yes but the second record Outside Inside has such great songs.
	👻 10:33am Brian in UK: @Joe My World is one of my favourite 70s singles from Sarf Lunnon.
	10:34am Joe McG: @12539: I think you right!
	10:34am Marcel M: Yeah Outside Inside has its moments. I love how Keiji Haino in an interview said he was influenced by Blue Cheer and Albert Ayler and thats it.
	10:34am Michele: HI JOE!!!
	10:35am KP: The second Blue Cheer album is pretty good too but then guitarist Leigh Stephens quit (never to be heard from again). They meandered around for while but went back to power trio, pretty great one too judging by bootlegs
	10:35am Irene Trudel: Always liked this Secret Affair song! I might even have a copy somewhere.Thanks for playing it.
	10:36am Marcel M: Randy Holden eventually joined Blue Cheer, but he never shined with them like he did on his solo record Population 2. That record is amazing.
	10:36am KP: No idea Dave Davies recorded on his own that far back, Joe
	10:36am Joe McG: MICHELE! @Irene: My pleasure!!
	10:37am Dominick: Billy Joe What's-His-Face must have been conceived while Secret Affair was playing
	10:38am kat330: Experience IS helpful though.
	10:38am βrian: Billy Joe McAllister?
	10:39am Cuspidor: wow, disco saw
	10:40am Dominick: This song has everything!
	10:40am Greg from Bloomfield: I am speechless.
	10:40am Cuspidor: got any disco Theremin?
	10:41am steve: yay disco saw!
	10:41am Stevel: waka chicka waka chicka waka chicka
	10:43am Sigurdur: Hey man, nice to hear that you got the rhythm locked down. . .
	10:43am Joe McG: The nicest thing about the disco saw record is that he's dressed in a tux on the sleeve and it says "America's Foremost Sawist"
	👻 10:45am Brian in UK: Far seeing? I sawist the mostist.
	10:46am kat330: I liked that you went from saw to C.
	10:46am listener james from westwood: Jumpin' country cut, that Bobby Wayne!
	10:46am Whooda: My Mom usually bought a dollars worth of gas per stop back in the day.
	10:46am Cuspidor: sounds like Gary Busey
	10:46am kat330: Chirp! (and click)
	10:48am βrian: That was Ray Bryant? Very nice. I need to go dig up "Alone with the Blues."
	10:48am Alessia: Adriaaaanooooo!
	10:48am Joe McG: @kat: Nice!
	10:49am Whooda: I don't know what's he's singing about but I don't think it's about winning the lottery.
	10:49am βrian: Fill up the tank, get your oil checked and windows washed, and get a free tumbler with a B.C. character on it.
	10:51am Joe McG: @Alessia: Any idea what our good friend is singing about? Something about getting out the door? Or going to a port in a different city?
	10:52am maestroso: First Adriano song I've heard that wasn't "Prisencolonensenainciusol"... I like it
	10:52am kat330: "And another time close the door" according to Google Translate.
	10:53am Joe McG: Google says "Another Time Close the Door," which doesn't quite make sense.
	10:53am Alessia: He's singing to his friend about the girl they are both in love with, Adriano is pretty sure that even if his friend is taking her away, she will run back to him, because he can take a body away but the mind stays where the person you love is. Adriano is also asking his friend to go away and close the door.
	10:53am Joe McG: You beat me, kat!
	10:53am kat330: :)
	10:53am βrian: She hits you with a flower.
	10:53am Joe McG: Thanks, Alessia! It's a "Go Away and Close the Door Behind You" sort of thing.
	10:54am Whosondephone: HEY!!! WHAT'S UP WITH THE SPEED?
	10:55am Joe McG: @Whoson: Sorry! The single is pressed off-centre and I tried to make it work. Oh well!
	10:57am Alessia: Yes, and "un'altra volta" in this case translates with "again" which means that he supposedly asked for his friend to go away a couple of times already.. You are welcome! :)
	10:57am mariano: @Joe: or, as we say in the South, don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
	10:58am KevininBayRidge: Sitting on 3rd Ave enjoying the he'll outta this set!!
	10:59am Whooda: @Joe I think it's more of a "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out" kinda song. :) @Alessia Thanks for the great translation. I knew there had to be a door in there somewhere.
	11:00am Whooda: @Mariano great gutter minds think alike.
	11:01am kat330: A bit off-color, but this lyric startled me when I heard on, Fallon's show I believe: "Don't let the doorknob hit you where the good lord split you."
	11:01am mariano: @Whooda: yeah, we always seem to wind up in the same gutter ;)
	11:01am kat330: Oh, shoot, Mariano, I SWEAR I did not see your comment before I typed mine!!
	11:01am Billy Jam: JOE!!! - good to be tuned in today to your show
	11:02am βrian: "I'm going to put my left foot on the right side of your face. And there's nothing you can do about it." (Or some such.)
	11:02am mariano: @kat330: welcome to the gutter!
	11:03am Whooda: Billy Jack was a bad-ass and I think he even rode a bike...but no bitches.
	11:03am Eric: The Legend of Billy Jack was actually a sequal
	11:03am kat330: Ah, but I'm staring at the stars!
	👻 11:03am Brian in UK: Take a powder?
	11:04am βrian: Nay, he rode a motorcycle.
	11:06am mariano: Billy Jack was a Native American master of Hapkido and a Green Beret 'Nam vet. Can't have your bases more covered than that when it comes to badassery!
	11:06am Cecile: hi, all!
	11:06am Sigurdur: Hi Cici
	11:06am kat330: (@Mariano: and I do prefer the addition of "knob" to the lyric. Makes it more pointed.)
	11:06am Alessia: hi Cecile!
	11:07am steve: dam, i dont think i've heard Paul Barman's name in 10 years. i did have his first CD (circa 2000?)!
	11:07am Rev. Turnip Druid: BAH! I ran out of time & couldn't get my Lou Tune together for the 'minotaurs... waah & baah.
	11:07am Rev. Turnip Druid: 'mornin, troops.
	11:07am Whooda: @Brian I'm pretty sure he had cool lowrider schwinn with the chain steering wheel, tassles on the hand grips and sweet chopper forks chromed up. The playing card in the spokes just made it sound like a motorcycle :)
	11:08am βrian: Hey, Cecile. Are the smelt still running?
	11:08am mariano: @kat330: I like the doorknob bit too, very graphic!
	11:09am βrian: And the banana seat, yo.
	11:10am Greg from Bloomfield: OOOoooh...cancel my date and go to that Jowe + Jason show?
	11:10am Whooda: Si' pink and purple tuch'n'roll on the seat esse.
	11:11am Cecile: hey siggi.
	11:11am Joe McG: @Eric: What was the first one called? I don't recall.
	👻 11:13am Brian in UK: GP out of it.
	11:14am Cecile: Brian, don't know. I don't even think the lake has thawed enough up there for the smelt to get in!
	11:16am KP: Thanks, Joe
	11:16am Ike: Wow, Laura Cantrell sounds better than ever.
	11:18am Joe McG: I agree, Ike, a very strong album!
	11:19am Davee: I'd love to hear something else from the new Laura album
	11:19am Joe McG: @Davee: That's a request, and I may even honor it before the end of the show!
	👻 11:21am Brian in UK: Have to agree, Laura has never sounded better. Shame John Peel cannot hear her.
	11:22am Dean: Second Davee's request.
	11:24am Greg from Bloomfield: Lovin' this set, Joe. It sounds like driving around with my brother.
	11:26am Joe McG: @Greg: Is your brother a truck driver by chance?
	👻 11:27am Brian in UK: Odd how draftees were abused on arriving back from Vietnam and now volunteers from Iraq or Afghanistan are thanked openly.
	11:28am Sigurdur: John Prine You got gold............ Just because Nahville got a sense of humour
	11:28am Nanker de Tucson: Loved that Gram Parsons live track!
	11:29am Cecile: nice. Waylon sings the truth.
	11:30am Cecile: Brian, I think people figured out that blaming soldiers for the war was divisive and didn't address the real problem. It's nice to know that some things have improved.
	👻 11:31am Brian in UK: .....and kiss the children for me.
	11:31am Whooda: @Brian as a country we had such a guilt complex for blaming the troops for the crimes of the politicians that we over-compensated with the troops coming back from the most recent politician's crimes. Seems we haven't learned much.
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: @Cecile now it is how to save money with a reserve force. We over here could learn from yourselves in this respect. Ahhhhh Jesse. Great first album.
	11:33am Ike: Nicely put, Cecile@11:30.
	11:33am Joe McG: Sending good vibes to Jesse, who isn't feeling too well.
	11:33am Greg from Bloomfield: He is not! He's the country/blues brother. Then there's the jazz/soul/hip-hop brother. (I am the FMU brother...)
	👻 11:33am Brian in UK: Jesse A draft dodger?
	11:34am earrie: PR (and related) is a multi bililion dollar industry in 2014. It sure wasn't then. Places everybody. Annnnnd: action!
	11:34am Whooda: @Brian I take that back. We stopped the politicians from putting more criminal boots into Syria. Yeah for us.
	11:34am PJ: Brian, you are relying on what appears to be an urban myth; there is no evidence that returning Vietnam veterans were spat on or otherwise abused by war protestors. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spitting_Image.
	11:35am KP: Oh, Jesse. I saw him when he was a draft dodger, and still a kid, at the Yellow Door in Montreal.
	11:35am earrie: It's interesting/disgusting to see the next wave of marketing effort toward the next big weapons/military spending.
	11:35am Cecile: Thanks Joe. It's hard to believe now the kind of warm press attention and coverage greeted Jesse when he returned from Canada in the late 70s.
	11:37am Whooda: @PJ you might want to check to see how long it took for a Vietnam memorial to be erected anywhere, much less Washington.
	11:37am Cecile: PJ, maybe the spitting didn't happen. And a lot of vets joined the antiwar movement when they got back. I think more that it was they were ignored and kind of disrespected. People didn't want to face what happened.
	11:37am northguineahills: wait, How did Doug play this Laura track back in Oct?
	11:38am Cecile: Even the more established vets organizations looked a bit askance at the 'nam vets. THey eventually warmed up (and died off, to be honest).
	11:39am Joe McG: @ngh: He's connected!
	11:39am KP: Jesse was pardoned by Jimmy Carter. I saw him again soon after that on a huge bill at Tanglewood. He was having the time of his life and so was the crowd,
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: @PJ I was listening to a programme just the other day and a returning draftee had the spitting experience, that was what I based my comment on. How bad is Jesse?
	11:39am Cecile: Doug spelled backwards is Goud.
	11:39am blee: Loving this set, Joe. Grand show you've got here.
	11:40am Joe McG: Thanks there, blee!
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: Shall we call him Dog.
	11:40am ranjit: Ditto! Also, it turns out you can whistle "Yakity Sax" along with this Connie Smith song and it works pretty well.
	11:41am northguineahills: This set is great for unfogging my brain. Thanks Joe!
	11:41am Cecile: hahahahah, Brian, we should probably run it by him first as he is Goud.
	11:41am Davee: Thank you
	11:42am KP: Wow I did not know he was in fact still alive. Amazing how these things get out there
	11:42am Cecile: Brian, he's really sick. Not a good prognosis.
	11:43am Kurt Gottschalk: ahhhh... i was walking down the street and couldn't check, but i knew i recognized sweet laura's voice.
	11:43am PJ: Whooda: the Vietnam War Memorial was dedicated in 1982, seven years after the end of the war (I happened to be there as well.) I'm not sure what your point is - it was decades before memorials to WWII or Korea were constructed.
	11:44am Cecile: this is a different side to Lone Justice. I really did not like their studio recordings
	11:44am Whooda: @Brian we are using Greystone (Blackwater) mercenaries in Ukraine now. www.liveleak.com...
	11:45am Joe McG: @Cecile: This is by far the best stuff they ever did and it FINALLY has come out! Hooray!
	👻 11:45am Brian in UK: Cecile I did not know, not another bluddy tribute show on FMU coming up. Never saw him but I felt he is a decent fella.
	11:46am Kristin in Berlin: Lovely set!!
	11:47am Cecile: Joe, people were so afraid to make records that rocked on major labels in the 80s that it was a shame.The Scorchers and Lone Justice really suffered. And I might be a special snowflake, but I think Mitchell Froom was the worst thing to happen to roots-rock EVER.
	11:47am PJ: Cecile: People in general don't want to face what happens during war. There certainly isn't a terrible amount of interest in the US about what happened during the Iraq War or after or in Afghanistan now.
	11:48am Joe McG: @Cecile: You are so right.
	11:48am Joe McG: Hi, Kristin in Berlin!
	11:50am Whooda: @PJ Wikileaks " Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from December 1956[A 1] to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975" that's 29 years between the start of the war and the memorial.
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: @PJ Currently there is more interest being paid to the centenary of the First World War. Why do we love anniversaries with round numbers.
	11:50am Cecile: I loved the Georgia Satellites record so much as a reaction. They weren't the best band, but their production was PERFECT. And it rocked. PJ: yeah, right now Gulf War and Iraq/Afghanistan vets are plot points on drama shows. But apart from the occasional thing on the Military Channel, there's next to no context about what's happening, how we are fighting, etc..
	11:51am Cecile: Speaking of someone who should be on her deathbed...
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: Jason Isbell has been giving it some context in his songs in recent years.
	11:52am MikeY: Great stuff Carlene Carter you dont hear her much outside country radio
	11:52am Guido from Cologne: This Country section came just right for me here fighting problems @ work! Thanks 4 the nice show Joe & CU next week!
	11:53am DCE: wow it's been awhile since I heard any version of Green Green Grass
	11:53am Cecile: Old hee haw joke: "on the porch is my papa with a shotgun..."
	11:53am MikeY: iTS GOOD TO SMOKE THE GREEN BUDS OF HOME!
	11:54am Whooda: Last word; we didn't want to acknowledge the war because we got our asses whooped and we blamed it all on the soldiers.
	👻 11:54am Brian in UK: Is that the time, McGasko you have done me again. Great show.
	11:55am mariano: I like what Kevin Kline said in Fish Called Wanda: We did not lose Vietnam! It was a tie!
	11:55am northguineahills: @Cecile: I concur about the Georgia Satellites. Thanks for another wonderful morning, Joe!
	11:55am Jeff: These are not your cheery homecoming stories.
	11:56am Jay/London: Hi Brian Yes it's always that time
	11:56am MikeY: Thankx for a great show . Enjoyed it whilst doing taxes
	11:56am PJ: Whooda: I don't know where you're getting the "we blamed it all on the soldiers" bit. My recollection is that people, in general, blamed it all on the politicians and the generals.
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian, and ngh! In fact, thanks everybody for listening and commenting. See you next time! Have a great week.
	11:57am mariano: Thanks for a great show, Joe, and bye everyone!
	11:57am nah: great show mr. joe! good for painting wargame miniatures.
	11:57am Cecile: hahahaha, nah. THat's what my husband does.
	11:58am Whooda: @Thanks a million DJ Joe McGasko
	👻 11:59am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	11:59am Greg from Bloomfield: Thanks much, Joe!
	11:59am nah: Cecile: it is the only thing I can do while listening to radio without losing focus on one or the other. And I like being able to multitask.
	11:59am earrie: Good teachers are my heroes!
