Listener comments!
	10/15 3:39pm Billy Jam: THANK YOU all very much for breaking a record (not vinyl :) and reaching the silent marathon goal of this show at the half way mark - WOW! THANK YOU good listeners…..really appreciate it…….Now we (as a whole) have to reach the overall WFMU goal of this one month silent marathon….that will help us in getting the new performance space all set up…..but again THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH

	7:05pm common: yes! tis friday! hey chris! spidermank, i got to play drums this tuesday. so good!
	7:05pm Dawgisht: Suddenly... a portal appears... leading to the East Bay of 1989. Is that what that earthquake was really about?
	7:05pm Billy Jam: TODAY ON WFMU: RARE BAY AREA CALL-IN RAPS from 1988, 1989, 1990 KALX radio shows I did with my man G-Spot - call in raps from all over including Berkeley, Richmond, Albany, San Francisco but mostly from Oakland - East, West, and North Oakland and over beats like Too $hort's "I Ain't Trippin" instrumental. Really good stuff too in my opinion that includes so many references to crack that I had not listened back to until now - 25 years later harking back to a time when there were "new jacks" and when having a "car phone" was a big deal….with callers including regulars like L.B. and Big-O) Tashima, Lil Mitch (not Bitch) - Davey D calls in and under his rap name G-Jam/Billy Spot diss the Niners and spit a rap medley including his covers of PE and DU - A fair ratio of female rappers - more than today ---- and Kerry P whose mom busted him for being on the phone midway during his rap - listen closely and u will hear some crazy shit
	👻 7:05pm chris: Hey, common, spidermank! happies to ya both...
	7:06pm SeanG: call in raps are awesome
	7:07pm Billy Jam: hey SeanG, Spidey, Chris (go SF Giants!), Dawights in Alameda, Common, and all else tuned in today…..YEAH
	7:09pm jon: thank god then pledge some $ for billy jam
	👻 7:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Tails wagging. Congrats on meeting your goal!
	7:11pm spidermank: yaaay common got some skin slappin action, :) ,cant live without it once you tasted aint a moment wasted - juss like PTNOTR -historic i have a complaint Billy - you is shakin my neighbours house
	7:13pm common: yep, spidermank! yep
	7:14pm spidermank: awww E,Billy you helped him out bigstyle so effing sweet geeza calllins roooooolllll
	7:17pm Billy Jam: I can't believe that before this show even started that we already reached the GOAL (gol!!!!!) for this SHOW….thanks people…..I also feel a lil bad for indicating two weeks ago (week one of this Silent Mara) that I could change the show to 3 hours when the scheduling is actually beyond my control…it is station manager Ken who decides who is on when…..not to say that I cannot submit a wish to change times…..Anyways to compensate - especially loyal generous good listeners like Spidermank in Manchester UK - what I would like to propose is that I go to your house and do a live WFMU radio show from your living room. U down Spidey? All I need is an Internet hook-up……and I can be there on (say) Friday March 6th, 2015…Let me know if u are down?
	7:17pm spidermank: 4 wikkid ,
	7:21pm Marty in Baltimore: man this show is amazing
	7:21pm Dawgisht: Why yawl bustin Davey D's balls? lol
	7:21pm Berd: Spanking me beats Billy Jam. I think I just heard Spidey exploded himself all over his drum kit.
	7:27pm Billy Jam: at Dawgisht - hah hah - that was a regular thing we used to do back then….so much fun……So Spidermank if u are down to do that email me (billyjam@wfmu.org) over weekend so we can make plans as I am booking all Euro flights this weekend…..thanks…….PS these days my man Gary "G-Spot" Baca is a DJ on KPFA and KPFK
	7:29pm spidermank: Deffo Billy , juss checked with my missus we not snowboarding so its deffo on Billy , 1 hour of your show is all i can handle , i have to listen to each show about 50 times before i get every beat , every rhyme so dont sweat the 3 hours geeza and the 6 th march is perfect , i am stoked ,- berd you gottit right and wow big up fer berd you long time listener , ow good is this, wow can't wait . Aint no bluffing we gonna be puffin it UK mank style ..wikkid stokeddddddddd
	7:29pm Billy Jam: the earthquake references in this rap are because the October 1989 earthquake that devastated the Bay Area had only been few months earlier……Also love how - later in this show - one of the callers does what you know is a real freestyle when he does a play by play of the 49ers game on TV at same time as radio show
	7:29pm Dawgisht: This guy here is the best out of all of them so far (talking about the Earthquake, Task Force, etc)... other than the 4-year old Lil Mitch. lol
	7:31pm Mark: Dude, this shit is GREAT! We don't have spontaneous fun stuff like this any more--everything has to be "successful." Love how it was so long ago, there was a football team in L.A.! Bring back call-in raps in 2014!!!
	7:31pm Billy Jam: What we did on the radio back then could not be duplicated today - since now rap is mainstream…..back then we had a dedicated diehard audience starved for rap/hip-hop - and we had built up a strong following…….
	7:33pm Mark: Well, it's spectacular, man--I'm digging the shit out of regular ol' folks just bringing' it. This is no different than a hootenanny they'd have in the 1840s in the Appalachians. The poets and musicians bring you the news. Love it!
	7:34pm Billy Jam: This guy - who sometimes used other names so as to not be blocked - is pretty darn good - he is the one who does the 49ers freestyle later
	7:35pm Billy Jam: hey MARK thanks….hey Jon, Ken from Hyde Park, Marcel M and all else tuned in - really appreciate it…...
	7:35pm spidermank: we got to get something like this shit flowing again , it is beyond the pale , so feckin deep . Your live shows always pickup this vibe Billy . callins are risky but frisky effing cool
	7:41pm Billy Jam: Spidey - just talked with G-Spot about that very thing today and he suggested in new year on KPFA we do it…so maybe it will happen..I think I tried this on WFMU few years ago but not much reaction to it…..Frankly even on KALX or anywhere today I do not think that this could be done…it had a non-stop line of people (many regulars) trying to get in on the air - so much that we had to allow one person one rap on the air…..Back then it was so different - hip-hop was a small community with few outlets….Today the audience is too broad and too segregated with too many other places for hip-hop to hear it…>BTW I will be on KALX on Monday next week (they are having their fundraiser this week)
	7:43pm Marty in Baltimore: shit I could listen to this all night long.....just incredible
	7:44pm latenightlistener: Pretty great stuff
	7:45pm jon: the station peaks on fri@7 billy. dont thank me dogg
	7:48pm spidermank: "Today the audience is too broad and too segregated" you said it Billy , fear rules us fools , until we turn, a tsunami of voices are yelling the same song inside, we are just kept down outside, peace n love n respect for fighting back Billy and WFMU peoples. so many talented calliners , wow wot a show cant wait to hear it again and again
	7:49pm JakeGould: I love this stuff. Loved it before. Still do.
	7:52pm Billy Jam: tnx JakeGould - SHOUT OUT AND MUCH LOVE TO ALL THE LISTENERS - hey where is Rapper With No Name (shout him out from the archives)….THANKS for supporting WFMU, shout out to G-SPOT (KPFA/KPFK)…TNX to WFMU's SAMANTHA for board-op duties today. Up next MR FINE WINE "Downtown Soulville" - Next week on WFMU is SINGLES GOING STEADY when for a week most DJs spin all 45s. Me too -or rather my special invited guests - DJ ENKI (45 Sessions Bay Area), DUST-ONE (Virginia DJ/producer who just released a 45 single featuring DJ Quest), and show regular DJ ALF
	7:53pm Sam in Staten Island: wish it went longer
	7:54pm ALF of Hip Hop Slam: I'm hella late to the party! Thank goodness for the archives! Hope you all have a great weekend! Laterzzzz!
	7:56pm Billy Jam: yo ALF - couldn't answer phone when u called just now…on the air…..looking forward to next week's mix

	7:56pm northguineahills: Well, this is a fun peek into yesteryear, thanks!
