	9:15pm mike east: The last time I tried to play air hockey at the ice rink, the puck was missing. They wouldn't even refund my dollar. Bastards. Good Evening funk brothers and sisters!

	9:18pm Lonely Planet Boy: War is underrated.
	9:18pm dale: to what do we owe this rock block of A.M. solid gold?
	9:19pm Holly in NC: !!! Just now saw the new color scheme. My avatar & alpha cat Bitty clashes horribly, she wants me to alert you to her distress ;-) Cats.
	9:20pm Uncle Michael: The Padres' yellow looks right but the brown is off.
	9:20pm dale: the color scheme is a rainbow sorbet of sorts
	9:21pm efd: dale, it's in honor of my esteemed guest and his excellent new book! Hi everyone, great to see you all here! Dan Epstein is coming right up!
	9:23pm Uncle Michael: Hello, Dan!
	9:24pm Ken From Hyde Park: I remember 1976 was when "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" was on the radio about 15 times a day.
	9:25pm dale: ah - i was 17, fire hydrants were red white and blue and i just got an amc hornet. sigh......
	9:26pm Eddy in Australia: @Holly: At that size, Bitty looks a bit like a koala!
	9:29pm dale: 76 was the big year for hank aaron, si?
	9:30pm Eric: Back then us kids would decorate our bicycles with red, white and blue streamers and ride in the town parade. I can't imagine that now with helmets, booooo :-(
	9:36pm Holly in NC: @ Ken - Clearly remenber that also. Summer '76 to me = Wings (Silly Love Songs, Let 'em In) and, er, Starland Vocal Band, Captain & Tennile, Wild Cherry..hey! I was 9! @Eddy - Bitty is OK with your assessment because she loves ALL men. Women, she is picky. @Eric - With you! It pains me beyond all reason to make kids I care for wear a helmet. Reason #1000000000 why I don't have children myself.
	9:37pm Uncle Michael: Harold Reynolds...horrible image...saying anything.
	9:37pm Patro: Even Frank Zappa had a Bicentennial song on his 'Bongo Fury' album
	9:39pm Holly in NC: I may have been only girl who had Thurman Munson poster on my bedroom wall.
	9:45pm Uncle Michael: Gamble & Huff this ain't! (or is it?)
	9:46pm 12539: Okay, now I'm dancing. Lucky for you all this is radio.
	9:46pm JakeGould: Oh god. No. Phillies Fever.
	9:46pm efd: It ain't!
	9:47pm Uncle Michael: I figured if Don Cornelius could hire them. maybe the Phillies did too! Whew.
	9:47pm steve: haha. love it.
	9:48pm JakeGould: No. You raped my ears. And that’s a lot for a WFMU listener to say.
	9:53pm Uncle Michael: I love it when Elton kisses the embroidered heart on Kiki's overalls.
	9:53pm JakeGould: Okay, this Elton John & Kiki Dee makes it all better.
	9:54pm Holly in NC: Oh god, is this what a flashback is like?
	9:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: There we go! Elton & Kiki!
	9:56pm Lonely Planet Boy: string sections made 70's records stand out
	10:00pm daveB: Did this come before or after the song by "Steam"?
	10:00pm Uncle Michael: after
	10:12pm Uncle Michael: Did anyone ever slide in the shorts?
	10:14pm Uncle Michael: Asked and answered!
	10:15pm john: Top of the heavy rotation around these parts too, which will come as no surprise. Great show, guys!
	10:16pm efd: how's that for service?!
	10:16pm herb.nyc: Super fun show. Thx. Dumb q: how'd my NY Mets do that year?
	10:17pm efd: john, how's the doggie holding up?
	10:18pm Holly in NC: Was not cool enough to hear this at the time...didn't make rotation on my AM transistor radio tuned to the big NYC stations
	10:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: I was away a bit and missed Lou Rawls. Commenters were talking about 70s songs on Therese's show the other night and I mentioned that one. Hoo boy.
	10:19pm john: Oh, his woes do get around, don't they? Thanks for asking….he's better than the weekend, which he spent in hospital, but not as better as we'd like, so I see more health care on the horizon. Still, every day's a bonus now. Tell Dan Becky and I said hi!
	10:20pm Carmichael: Son of a bitch, did I tune in at the perfect timr?!?
	10:21pm Matt F: Loving tonight's program, Evan. Thanks!
	10:21pm efd: Sending positive doggie thoughts to you, john. Greetings passed on and reciprocated!
	10:22pm JakeGould: Man, 1976 was great. I was like 9 years old & all of the music… I lived near the beach (Brighton Beach) & it’s like I’m a kid but I am still listening to this amazing stuff. Great show Evan.
	10:22pm Holly in NC: Missed this at the time too...this was what "bad kids" listeneed to (see also Aerosmith, Kiss) @John - more good thoughts heading to dog!
	10:24pm john: Aww, thanks, Holly, and to you Evan on both counts! Seventeen and fighting!
	10:26pm Carmichael: I was out of high school by 76, and I was the coolest MF'er around. Wow, how times have changed. Boz Scaggs even broke out solo!
	10:26pm PJ: Hearing Lido and The Boys are Back in Town back to back, you can hear how the backbeat is the same.
	10:26pm Lonely Planet Boy: Love Silk Degrees
	10:27pm Carmichael: @PJ: the backseat is the same, too.
	10:28pm efd: @PJ it's almost like I planned it that way!
	10:29pm Holly in NC: Now I am dancing!!!!
	10:32pm Holly in NC: Paul Zone?! I am so excited!!!! Yay Evan!
	10:33pm PJ: @efd Somebody should give you a DJing gig!
	10:37pm Danne D: Hey EFD :) Hey everyone :) Hey Holly :)
	10:38pm Joe B: agree, no DH! ditch it!
	10:38pm Uncle Michael: Hear here!
	10:41pm Danne D: Dave Parker had one of the best outfielder arms ever.
	10:43pm Marc: Only true baseball fans consider the DH an abomination.
	10:43pm Joe B: great book Dan. Loved it!
	10:44pm Danne D: Sad reality is that if they standardize the leagues, it'll be the NL going to the DH :(
	10:44pm Carmichael: Omar Moreno was my favorite Pirate.
	10:45pm Danne D: Never should have changed the hats
	10:46pm Joe B: if they are gonna keep the DH, whoever it is should have to bat 9th, and can't come out of the game. if he does, pitcher has to bat
	10:47pm Danne D: The only thing that gives a chance at the DH getting eliminated is a rise in middle reliever salaries :)
	10:49pm Tim Lincecum: Who you callin honkey?
	10:49pm Joe B: Boz Skaggs actually played IN Jersey City in the summer of 1976, opening for the Eagles at Roosevelt Stadium. Kiss also played there in the summer of 76. Both shows were in July
	10:50pm Joe B: whoops mispelled Scaggs
	10:51pm Uncle Michael: We saw Boz at the Chicago Theatre in '76...Southside Johnny and the Jukes opened. My mom, my brother and me. You shoulda seen my little brothers eyes when my mom took a joint from some stranger, took a hit, shrugged and passed it to me.
	10:53pm dB from Oakland: That is a very 1970s story Uncle Michael :)
	10:53pm dB from Oakland: Black Cojack is my new favorite song.
	10:54pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for being on Evan's show, Dan!
	10:57pm Danne D: C W McCall :D
	10:58pm Danne D: Surprised you didn't play 1976 by the Baseball Project, Evan :)
	10:58pm dB from Oakland: CB radio, the original internet.
	10:58pm john: Great show, guys! And Evan, thank you for being the only DJ on WFMU who can play Convoy without irony.
	10:59pm Uncle Michael: I could go on and on about this record but I will just mention that Chip Davis of "Fresh Aire" fame wrote the music.
	10:59pm Ignore Function: I walked all the way across the room to favorite "Convoy".
	11:00pm Uncle Michael: Mr. Mannheim Steamroller, himself.
	11:00pm Danne D: You could tell it was long time ago - tolls in New Jersey were a dime.
	11:00pm dB from Oakland: Where did "negatory" come from? I always found that a hilarious vernacular.
	11:01pm Uncle Michael: Omaha?! (they were all from Omaha)
	11:01pm Danne D: And there it is :D This is such a perfect song :D
	11:03pm Ignore Function: I'm seeing Baseball Project play a house show in August! I can hardly believe it.
	11:03pm Danne D: where at Iggy? Is this in North Jersey?
	11:04pm Danne D: (at a house they've played before?)
	11:05pm Ignore Function: Wisconsin. I don't know if it's a house show tour.
	11:07pm Danne D: probably not - at least probably not by design. I'm on the e-mail list for said house but thought maybe it somehow slipped by me
	11:07pm dB from Oakland: Somebody in Redd Kross is throwing in a great Gene Simmons imitation.
	11:10pm Danne D: I just remember how literally everything was painted red white and blue like everywhere - fire hydrants, curbs, buildings everything
	11:10pm Uncle Michael: Sounded like Paul Stanley to me!
	11:11pm Carmichael: Wasn't there a band simply called "Baseball" in the 70s? Or is my brain messing with me AGAIN???
	11:11pm ScottC: that's right! Fidrich got killed on his farm when a motor fell on him - right?
	11:11pm fleep: [Waits for notes from Droll]
	11:12pm ScottC: Fidrych...
	11:14pm Danne D: Cheap Trick or Treat - A Helloween/Cheap Trick tribute band?
	11:15pm dB from Oakland: I'm distantly related to the lady who plays drums for Guns N'Hoses ... it's what you think it is :)
	11:18pm Joe B: Baseball Project Aug 3 at Asbury Lanes!
	11:18pm Danne D: Thanks Joe B!!!
	11:19pm Carmichael: If they were from Canada, they would be Guns
	11:19pm Danne D: and Hosers :)
	11:20pm Uncle Michael: I think there should be a band made up of Cheap Trick's second bass player, Kiss' second drummer and the Chili Pepper's second guitar player. You know what they'd be called.
	11:22pm Eddy in Australia: Hey Evan, there's still time to talk about my summer of '76, and the legendary West Indies cricket tour of Australia! (It's all bats and balls, right?)
	11:23pm efd: ha, I'll see if I can pull that together Eddy! :)
	11:24pm ScottC: @Uncle Michael : Sloppy Seconds?
	11:24pm efd: Uncle Michael, I'm thinking they'd be called "Who's That?"
	11:24pm Danne D: I think it was called Super Swats '76, right Eddy? :)
	11:25pm Uncle Michael: I was looking for "Sloppy Seconds." I'm afraid I can't award you the points.
	11:25pm Danne D: (I meant the cricket tour - I'm assuming there was an LP put out)
	11:26pm efd: ScottC wins!
	11:27pm Uncle Michael: Oops, yes! I missed that.
	11:28pm Danne D: @Uncle Michael, I assume Sammy Hagar fronts that group?
	11:31pm Eddy in Australia: @Danne: Explosive Hits '76? @Evan: No worries, just happy to be listening live again. This time last week I was having surgery - and the bastards refused to play FMU in the operating theatre!
	11:32pm Danne D: @Eddy I was thinking of a specific album from EFD's collection - but couldn't think of the Cricket equivalent of Sox
	11:32pm Danne D: Things went well I hope, Eddy?
	11:33pm efd: Glad to have you back with us, Eddy! Best wishes on a quick recovery.
	11:36pm Uncle Michael: I don't think Sammy's anonymous enough. Besides, I like him.
	11:37pm Stevel: That was an awesome set, by the way.
	11:37pm Uncle Michael: I'm heading to bed...night all. Great show, efd. Thanks!
	11:38pm Danne D: Good night Uncle Michael :)
	11:38pm Eddy in Australia: @Danne/Evan: Thanks, yep, it was knee surgery. Had it done twice in NY (the other knee) so I'm used to it by now. As my doctor said, I won't be running the marathon anytime soon.
	11:39pm Danne D: is Paul Zone any relation to WFMU fan CalZone! ? :)
	11:41pm Stevel: Very much looking forward to next week's show and seeing those photos on the radio! Er... Seriously.
	11:41pm Michael from the Left Coast: You're not going to the Burger fest in July are you?
	11:42pm Danne D: EFD's show is the home of songs quantifying women or girls I've noticed.
	11:43pm Ike: Good to hear "Cardboard Lamb" at the right speed. Heard it at the wrong speed about 12 hours ago. Now it's back to running around the earworm track in my brain at the correct pace.
	11:43pm efd: Sadly not making it out for Burgerfest, Michael.
	11:46pm Eddy in Australia: Man 2 Man's Male Stripper was an unlikely hit down here. Didn't realise Paul from The Fast was involved.
	11:47pm Loretta: hi all!! thanks for another stimulating evening... love this show. gonna crash now.
	11:47pm Danne D: Hi/Bye Loretta :)
	11:49pm efd: hi Loretta! I think next week's show will be of particular interest to you! :) Sleep well.
	11:49pm Loretta: 'till next week Danne D!
	11:50pm Eddy in Australia: @Evan: Just been listening to Jack Ruby, from that pre-punk period in NY. Hope they get a run next week.
	11:50pm Loretta: great Evan, looking forward to it!
	11:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Suggestion - let's do 1977 next year!
	11:54pm Eddy in Australia: What Ken said.
	11:55pm 12539: 1977 is the year of The Sound of Summer!
	11:55pm 12539: Thanks EFD & Dan.
	11:56pm efd: thanks for listening everyone!
	11:57pm Danne D: Thank you for a fabulous show as always, Evan :) And thanks for playing 1976 :D Have a great night everyone! Bye Holly :)
	11:57pm Eddy in Australia: Great show, EFD. Man, you got that KTM single quickly!
	11:58pm jmd: It wasn't packaged between two pieces of bread?

June 25, 2014: DAN EPSTEIN, author of Stars & Strikes: Baseball & America In The Bicentennial Summer Of '76, live in the studio!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

In Dan Epstein's previous book, Big Hair and Plastic Grass, we learned how the '70s changed baseball forever. His latest book, Stars and Strikes: Baseball and America in the Bicentennial Summer of '76, focuses on the year that brought us the Chicago White Sox wearing shorts, C.W. McCall's "Convoy," the California Angels hiring their DH from Casablanca Records, Frampton Comes Alive, Mark "The Bird" Fidrych's brilliant rookie year, the Ramones and so much more.

Tonight Dan returns to The Evan "Funk" Davies show with more riotous tales of '70s baseball! And be sure to come out to see Dan in person reading from the book Thursday the 26th at Bergino Baseball Clubhouse (67 E. 11th St.) at 7pm and Sunday the 29th at Manitoba's (99 Avenue B), also at 7pm.

	10:21pm Matt F: Loving tonight's program, Evan. Thanks!
	10:21pm efd: Sending positive doggie thoughts to you, john. Greetings passed on and reciprocated!
	10:22pm JakeGould: Man, 1976 was great. I was like 9 years old & all of the music… I lived near the beach (Brighton Beach) & it’s like I’m a kid but I am still listening to this amazing stuff. Great show Evan.
	10:22pm Holly in NC: Missed this at the time too...this was what "bad kids" listeneed to (see also Aerosmith, Kiss) @John - more good thoughts heading to dog!
	10:24pm john: Aww, thanks, Holly, and to you Evan on both counts! Seventeen and fighting!
	10:26pm Carmichael: I was out of high school by 76, and I was the coolest MF'er around. Wow, how times have changed. Boz Scaggs even broke out solo!
	10:26pm PJ: Hearing Lido and The Boys are Back in Town back to back, you can hear how the backbeat is the same.
	10:26pm Lonely Planet Boy: Love Silk Degrees
	10:27pm Carmichael: @PJ: the backseat is the same, too.
	10:28pm efd: @PJ it's almost like I planned it that way!
	10:29pm Holly in NC: Now I am dancing!!!!
	10:32pm Holly in NC: Paul Zone?! I am so excited!!!! Yay Evan!
	10:33pm PJ: @efd Somebody should give you a DJing gig!
	10:37pm Danne D: Hey EFD :) Hey everyone :) Hey Holly :)
	10:38pm Joe B: agree, no DH! ditch it!
	10:38pm Uncle Michael: Hear here!
	10:41pm Danne D: Dave Parker had one of the best outfielder arms ever.
	10:43pm Marc: Only true baseball fans consider the DH an abomination.
	10:43pm Joe B: great book Dan. Loved it!
	10:44pm Danne D: Sad reality is that if they standardize the leagues, it'll be the NL going to the DH :(
	10:44pm Carmichael: Omar Moreno was my favorite Pirate.
	10:45pm Danne D: Never should have changed the hats
	10:46pm Joe B: if they are gonna keep the DH, whoever it is should have to bat 9th, and can't come out of the game. if he does, pitcher has to bat
	10:47pm Danne D: The only thing that gives a chance at the DH getting eliminated is a rise in middle reliever salaries :)
	10:49pm Tim Lincecum: Who you callin honkey?
	10:49pm Joe B: Boz Skaggs actually played IN Jersey City in the summer of 1976, opening for the Eagles at Roosevelt Stadium. Kiss also played there in the summer of 76. Both shows were in July
	10:50pm Joe B: whoops mispelled Scaggs
	10:51pm Uncle Michael: We saw Boz at the Chicago Theatre in '76...Southside Johnny and the Jukes opened. My mom, my brother and me. You shoulda seen my little brothers eyes when my mom took a joint from some stranger, took a hit, shrugged and passed it to me.
	10:53pm dB from Oakland: That is a very 1970s story Uncle Michael :)
	10:53pm dB from Oakland: Black Cojack is my new favorite song.
	10:54pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for being on Evan's show, Dan!
	10:57pm Danne D: C W McCall :D
	10:58pm Danne D: Surprised you didn't play 1976 by the Baseball Project, Evan :)
	10:58pm dB from Oakland: CB radio, the original internet.
	10:58pm john: Great show, guys! And Evan, thank you for being the only DJ on WFMU who can play Convoy without irony.
	10:59pm Uncle Michael: I could go on and on about this record but I will just mention that Chip Davis of "Fresh Aire" fame wrote the music.
	10:59pm Ignore Function: I walked all the way across the room to favorite "Convoy".
	11:00pm Uncle Michael: Mr. Mannheim Steamroller, himself.
	11:00pm Danne D: You could tell it was long time ago - tolls in New Jersey were a dime.
	11:00pm dB from Oakland: Where did "negatory" come from? I always found that a hilarious vernacular.
	11:01pm Uncle Michael: Omaha?! (they were all from Omaha)
	11:01pm Danne D: And there it is :D This is such a perfect song :D
	11:03pm Ignore Function: I'm seeing Baseball Project play a house show in August! I can hardly believe it.
	11:03pm Danne D: where at Iggy? Is this in North Jersey?
	11:04pm Danne D: (at a house they've played before?)
	11:05pm Ignore Function: Wisconsin. I don't know if it's a house show tour.
	11:07pm Danne D: probably not - at least probably not by design. I'm on the e-mail list for said house but thought maybe it somehow slipped by me
	11:07pm dB from Oakland: Somebody in Redd Kross is throwing in a great Gene Simmons imitation.
	11:10pm Danne D: I just remember how literally everything was painted red white and blue like everywhere - fire hydrants, curbs, buildings everything
	11:10pm Uncle Michael: Sounded like Paul Stanley to me!
	11:11pm Carmichael: Wasn't there a band simply called "Baseball" in the 70s? Or is my brain messing with me AGAIN???
	11:11pm ScottC: that's right! Fidrich got killed on his farm when a motor fell on him - right?
	11:11pm fleep: [Waits for notes from Droll]
	11:12pm ScottC: Fidrych...
	11:14pm Danne D: Cheap Trick or Treat - A Helloween/Cheap Trick tribute band?
	11:15pm dB from Oakland: I'm distantly related to the lady who plays drums for Guns N'Hoses ... it's what you think it is :)
	11:18pm Joe B: Baseball Project Aug 3 at Asbury Lanes!
	11:18pm Danne D: Thanks Joe B!!!
	11:19pm Carmichael: If they were from Canada, they would be Guns
	11:19pm Danne D: and Hosers :)
	11:20pm Uncle Michael: I think there should be a band made up of Cheap Trick's second bass player, Kiss' second drummer and the Chili Pepper's second guitar player. You know what they'd be called.
	11:22pm Eddy in Australia: Hey Evan, there's still time to talk about my summer of '76, and the legendary West Indies cricket tour of Australia! (It's all bats and balls, right?)
	11:23pm efd: ha, I'll see if I can pull that together Eddy! :)
	11:24pm ScottC: @Uncle Michael : Sloppy Seconds?
	11:24pm efd: Uncle Michael, I'm thinking they'd be called "Who's That?"
	11:24pm Danne D: I think it was called Super Swats '76, right Eddy? :)
	11:25pm Uncle Michael: I was looking for "Sloppy Seconds." I'm afraid I can't award you the points.
	11:25pm Danne D: (I meant the cricket tour - I'm assuming there was an LP put out)
	11:26pm efd: ScottC wins!
	11:27pm Uncle Michael: Oops, yes! I missed that.
	11:28pm Danne D: @Uncle Michael, I assume Sammy Hagar fronts that group?
	11:31pm Eddy in Australia: @Danne: Explosive Hits '76? @Evan: No worries, just happy to be listening live again. This time last week I was having surgery - and the bastards refused to play FMU in the operating theatre!
	11:32pm Danne D: @Eddy I was thinking of a specific album from EFD's collection - but couldn't think of the Cricket equivalent of Sox
	11:32pm Danne D: Things went well I hope, Eddy?
	11:33pm efd: Glad to have you back with us, Eddy! Best wishes on a quick recovery.
	11:36pm Uncle Michael: I don't think Sammy's anonymous enough. Besides, I like him.
	11:37pm Stevel: That was an awesome set, by the way.
	11:37pm Uncle Michael: I'm heading to bed...night all. Great show, efd. Thanks!
	11:38pm Danne D: Good night Uncle Michael :)
	11:38pm Eddy in Australia: @Danne/Evan: Thanks, yep, it was knee surgery. Had it done twice in NY (the other knee) so I'm used to it by now. As my doctor said, I won't be running the marathon anytime soon.
	11:39pm Danne D: is Paul Zone any relation to WFMU fan CalZone! ? :)
	11:41pm Stevel: Very much looking forward to next week's show and seeing those photos on the radio! Er... Seriously.
	11:41pm Michael from the Left Coast: You're not going to the Burger fest in July are you?
	11:42pm Danne D: EFD's show is the home of songs quantifying women or girls I've noticed.
	11:43pm Ike: Good to hear "Cardboard Lamb" at the right speed. Heard it at the wrong speed about 12 hours ago. Now it's back to running around the earworm track in my brain at the correct pace.
	11:43pm efd: Sadly not making it out for Burgerfest, Michael.
	11:46pm Eddy in Australia: Man 2 Man's Male Stripper was an unlikely hit down here. Didn't realise Paul from The Fast was involved.
	11:47pm Loretta: hi all!! thanks for another stimulating evening... love this show. gonna crash now.
	11:47pm Danne D: Hi/Bye Loretta :)
	11:49pm efd: hi Loretta! I think next week's show will be of particular interest to you! :) Sleep well.
	11:49pm Loretta: 'till next week Danne D!
	11:50pm Eddy in Australia: @Evan: Just been listening to Jack Ruby, from that pre-punk period in NY. Hope they get a run next week.
	11:50pm Loretta: great Evan, looking forward to it!
	11:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Suggestion - let's do 1977 next year!
	11:54pm Eddy in Australia: What Ken said.
	11:55pm 12539: 1977 is the year of The Sound of Summer!
	11:55pm 12539: Thanks EFD & Dan.
	11:56pm efd: thanks for listening everyone!
	11:57pm Danne D: Thank you for a fabulous show as always, Evan :) And thanks for playing 1976 :D Have a great night everyone! Bye Holly :)
	11:57pm Eddy in Australia: Great show, EFD. Man, you got that KTM single quickly!
	11:58pm jmd: It wasn't packaged between two pieces of bread?
