	♥ 3:44pm Scott Williams: Thanks el_musgo!
	3:44pm JakeGould: I hope Tom Petty doesn’t have a “Breakdown” and “Won’t Back Down” and lives to wake up and say “You Got Lucky” to his “American Girl.” Don’t want to see him live like a “Refugee.”
	♥ 3:44pm Scott Williams: nice goin', Jake
	♥ 3:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...uh-oh...I ain't got webz @ home - & if you ain't had FMU for a while - your metabolic tolerance goes down...I could fatally overdose on pure goodness if not careful...

	♥ 3:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no 'Heartbreaker' puns...Cheers...
	3:47pm JakeGould: @RevRabbitNov63: What you do you think I’m completely classless? I ain’t “Free Fallin’” through this improv so “Don’t Do Me Like That.”

	3:48pm BriJet: Ahoy hoy!!!

	♥ 3:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: KIKI BALIKI!
	3:53pm kimzilla: You know I love this track!
	♥ 3:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: Well, I sure tuned in at the right time. The Frogs! On your radio tonight! And forever!
	♥ 3:53pm Scott Williams: HI WENDY!
	♥ 3:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: HI SCOTT! Thanks for cheering me up this afternoon. We all could use some Toy Porno.
	♥ 3:54pm Scott Williams: en.mediamass.net...
	♥ 3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we don't!...
	3:56pm V Priceless: jeez...TMZ was hoaxed?
	3:56pm JakeGould: He’s not dead, but he has suffered cardiac arrest. “Tom Petty Taken Off Life Support After Being Found Unconscious in Cardiac Arrest: Report” www.billboard.com...
	3:58pm Parq: He's not dead, but Lord, he's not feeling very well.
	♥ 3:58pm Rich in Washington: I never read any 'death' reports, but was pretty consistently seeing 'cardiac arrest' and 'life support'. That in itself is rarely good news, having lost two colleagues fairly recently who went that route. They never woke up.
	3:59pm JakeGould: So Tom Petty is a terrorist?
	♥ 4:02pm Uncle Michael: NY Daily News has reported that Petty's been taken off life support.
	4:02pm I am the Upsetter: Tom is dead.
	4:04pm Fox: I keep thinking you're saying "Ookla" as in "Ookla the Mot, who is the cool badass leonine humanoid who is Thundarr the Barbarian's faithful companion.
	4:04pm JakeGould: CBS News: “JUST IN: Rocker Tom Petty is dead at 66, Los Angeles Police Department confirms to CBS News” twitter.com...
	♥ 4:05pm BarbR: Just had to explain WFMU and the chat board to my manager... :-D
	♥ 4:06pm Uncle Michael: You can explain WFMU?
	4:06pm Aaron Working In Newark: RIP Tom
	4:06pm Aaron Working In Newark: The Hoax was from over the weekend. How weird is that?
	♥ 4:06pm Scott Williams: Looks like it's no hoax. shit...
	♥ 4:06pm marygidge: Sad sad news about Tom.
	🧩 ♥ 4:07pm Bas NL: Hi all!
	4:07pm I am the Upsetter: Sad indeed.
	4:07pm JakeGould: R.I.P. Tom Petty
	4:07pm bloopy: ah fuck. :( RIP TOM. Sad.
	🧩 ♥ 4:08pm ⓘⓚⓔ: Bummer. Say, I would not be surprised if the Frogs guy's last will and testament specified that 1) if Tom Petty is dead, then start a rumor that he is NOT dead and that his death is fake news (and Scott was a victim of this), or 2) if Tom Petty is alive, start a rumor that he is dead. (Too soon?)
	4:09pm JakeGould: @IKE: Don’t do me like that.
	4:10pm Parq: Is Franco still dead? Can we get that settled?
	4:11pm listener james from westwood: This fuckin' year. This fuckin' day!!
	♥ 4:11pm Michael 98145: i get all my news and fake news from FMU
	♥ 4:11pm Jeezy: Only 66!!!! :-(
	4:12pm JakeGould: In light of the Catatonian vote for independence from Spain? Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
	♥ 4:13pm Passaic River Blues: Everything continues to be terrible.
	4:13pm JakeGould: I meant to say: “Catalonian” Geez do I suck at words.
	4:13pm McGreivey: Rolling Stone and TMZ are saying he's dead. (That sounds kinda like a joke, actually.) No, it appears not to be a hoax.
	♥ 4:15pm linear: what a day
	♥ 4:15pm Passaic River Blues: I thought "Catatonian" was a bit of wordsmithing, a nod to the fact that endless shittiness is leading to general catatonia.
	4:15pm McGreivey: Oh. And this Chris Forsythe track is groovy.
	4:15pm northguineahills: Crap, now Tom Petty too! He's originally from the town I currently live in.
	4:16pm McGreivey: "Catatonics declare independence from Spain. Details at 11."
	♥ 4:18pm Threemoons: Crap. This Monday truly sucks (except for the fact that the bozos at my temp gig forgot to put their media gag firewall up so I can enjoy a little WFMU at work)
	♥ 4:18pm steveo: from one wilbury to another?
	♥ 4:19pm βrian: Why would they try to obstruct your work that way?
	♥ 4:20pm Threemoons: Brian--because they are slave-driving assholes who don't realize that we get more done with our own tunes on.
	4:20pm northguineahills: Tom Petty was supposed to play 2 shows in NYC Nov 6th & 7th.
	♥ 4:21pm Carmichael: Petty just played here a few weeks ago. I didn't see him, but know plenty of people who did.
	4:21pm northguineahills: I'm lucky, no firewall at my office. Technically, I could watch porn if I really wanted to (I don't).
	4:21pm JakeGould: @northguineahills: Tough gig.
	♥ 4:22pm Michael 98145: cripes. sad.
	4:23pm Parq: A substantial number of sources are now going with dead. I think the chances of this being a hoax are slim.
	4:23pm northguineahills: Considering I basically had no gig for 3 years, I'm rather happy to have a near dream job. To bad it isn't in NYC (the only drawback).
	4:24pm steve: ugh, what a rough day
	♥ 4:24pm Switchblade Batman: Man this was the song that woke me up on my very first day of high school. RIP Tom Petty, thanks for the memories.
	4:24pm Listener142985: Good Petty pick. He made a lot of good music.
	♥ 4:24pm Switchblade Batman: Lucky you @NorthGuinea, I'm DESPERATE for a decent office job. Dream or otherwise
	♥ 4:25pm steveo: 1976, wow. I somehow though this was the 80s.
	4:25pm northguineahills: My college girlfriend lived in the dorm (exact room) where the girl that American Girl was inspired by jumped to her death.
	4:25pm Marie: SCOTT!!!!! I've always loved this song. Hate to say it but some rhythm element in the background reminds me of the sounds of gunshots. Maybe this (!) will help bring about common sense gun control. OMG, I did not know TP had passed away until now. WOW.
	4:25pm northguineahills: *too bad (can't spell on Mondays)
	4:26pm Cecile: anchor
	4:26pm Chris from DC: Yes!
	♥ 4:26pm Carmichael: Ii was living in Korea when Damn the Torpedoes came out. I didn't know it for about 3 months, due to the ban on western media at the time. I happened to spot it sitting on a shelf in the BX.
	4:27pm Tardigrade: YESS! favorite song by a top 5 band! Thanks Scott.
	♥ 4:27pm slugluv1313: holy crap -- just seeing this now, Tom Petty is gone too? saw him many many years ago (old Palladium NYC, i think) DAMMIT!!! so totally sucks
	4:30pm Bill W: Hi Scott! .. Saw TP & the Heartbreakers only once, playing with Dylan at MSG in '86. I clearly recall wearing bellbottoms to that show. Only saw the Minutemen once too; did not wear bellbottoms.
	4:30pm JakeGould: @northguineahills: I meant Tom Petty has a tough gig trying to play 2 shows in NYC November 6th an 7th considering he’s now no longer with the living.
	♥ 4:31pm Smilty69: @jakegould: Too soon
	4:33pm northguineahills: We'll just have to reanimated him, or use a hologram, Jake.
	4:33pm Megadano: I'll never forget when Tom Petty took on the record companies and refused to release his album if they raised the price of records. I was just a kid and I remember thinking "this guy is one of the good guys."
	4:33pm JakeGould: @Smilty69: That’s what she said… After reading my comments at the top of the list.
	4:34pm northguineahills: @Carmichael: Didn't you have AFRTS in Korea?
	♥ 4:34pm Scott Williams: @Bill W, pics please or it didn't happen... and HELLO!
	♥ 4:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: RIP Tom Petty and also Monty Hall. Is the venue called Monty Hall now or are lawyers still in cease & desist mode?
	4:37pm medson: Hola Scott
	♥ 4:37pm Scott Williams: It is once again MONTY HALL, in accordance with the expressed wishes of the late Mr. H
	♥ 4:38pm Scott Williams: Howdydoo Medson!
	🧩 ♥ 4:40pm Stevel: No kidding, re. Monty Hall? That's great! (Good news, for once, today!)
	4:40pm Clay Pigeon: Such sad news about Tom Petty, in light of everything else going on. The natural line from Dylan to McGuinn to Petty is upset - he went too damned young. Always remember ...
	4:40pm medson: Just diggin the show
	♥ 4:42pm Carmichael: @ngh, yes we did, but it was the worst selection of American and British radio.
	♥ 4:45pm Michael 98145: that's okay - just a touch of Bryce
	4:45pm steve: i like a good skip
	♥ 4:45pm Roberto: LOLz
	♥ 4:46pm steveo: when you say the last word of the medicine track do a record scratch to cover it up
	4:46pm McGreivey: This Ariel Pink is nice. And I mean that in the best possible sense. Also, I think catatonic in Catalan might be catatunic. I dunno. It seemed more sensible at the beginning of the sentence.
	🧩 ♥ 4:46pm Stevel: Breathe. Focus.
	♥ 4:47pm Roberto: What better way to follow this up than with a nice round of Unkie Dunkie?
	♥ 4:48pm steveo: instant classic set break
	♥ 4:49pm Fuzzy: Peanut butter, Scott -- smooth it right out.
	♥ 4:51pm Rich in Washington: Oh god. Anything but Unkie Dunkie!
	♥ 4:53pm Uncle Michael: Luna/Chris Forsythe show needs a 11-17-17 poster based on this: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com...
	4:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HAPPY TWENNY YEARS!
	♥ 4:57pm Roberto: Just caught the TP news. Oy vey can this day get any worse?
	♥ 4:57pm Roberto: Yeah don't answer that.
	4:58pm northguineahills: suite Fairport!
	♥ 4:58pm Scott Williams: danke Daddy Rev!
	♥ 4:59pm Greg from ZONE 5: Oh snap, is that today, Scotty?
	♥ 5:01pm steveo: bye scott, thanks for the show, i am heading underground now for a spell
	5:01pm northguineahills: Hooaw, Boiy, two tens!!! Long time!
	5:04pm melinda: Hi all
	♥ 5:06pm Michael 98145: a sawbuck !
	♥ 5:07pm Michael 98145: guess that would be double
	♥ 5:12pm Michael 98145: oh, my -
	♥ 5:12pm Scott Williams: @Z5 Greg - not today, but sometime this month, date TBD
	5:15pm northguineahills: One day you'll catch up w/ Irwin!
	♥ 5:16pm common: scott, all. good eve.
	5:18pm northguineahills: @glenn: my wife would drop a deuce w/ the bathroom door open that was next to kitchen while I would be cooking. Not sure what that woman's problem. (She would do this very early on in our relationship).
	5:19pm northguineahills: Not familiar w/ Tim Goldie, faved!
	5:20pm glenn: it takes all kinds, as the kids say.
	5:22pm Davis: wow. zing
	5:25pm northguineahills: New David Grubbs!
	5:28pm JakeGould: @glenn: Why are you making a tough day even harder?
	5:29pm glenn: sorry, man. i'm a dick, i guess.
	5:34pm JakeGould: It’s cool.
	♥ 5:35pm Smilty69: LAPD cannot confirm Tom Petty's death. Same thing happened to Ron Jeremy.
	♥ 5:35pm Michael 98145: ... huh ?
	5:35pm sufferwords: Tom Petty was one of the artists that even in the earliest days of punk you didn't have to reject him -he was so cool squares and freaks could embrace him in equal measure - so few could claim that ability to connect to us all - peace
	5:37pm choggie: Great show, love from Texas ya genius!
	♥ 5:38pm Switchblade Batman: www.nme.com... - Tom might be alive after all
	5:38pm JakeGould: Is Tom Petty a zombie now?
	♥ 5:39pm Switchblade Batman: Although it still doesn't look good.
	♥ 5:39pm Scott Williams: thanks Choggie!
	♥ 5:39pm Switchblade Batman: More like a fern or a ficus @Jake
	5:41pm northguineahills: I need to get this Popeye reissue!
	♥ 5:41pm Webhamster Henry: Yes! apparently disc II is the disk for WFMU!
	♥ 5:41pm Michael 98145: 1980 ?! yikes.
	♥ 5:44pm Uncle Michael: Is this the Traveling Wallabys?
	🧩 ♥ 5:47pm dale: was enjoying the show until the downer of news. my wife said it was a fake and i just came in and she said it was true re: mr. petty. is it or isn't it?
	♥ 5:47pm Uncle Michael: www.hollywoodreporter.com...
	♥ 5:47pm Scott Williams: @dale, seems to be mostly true, but a lotta media jumping the gun
	♥ 5:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Schrödinger's Heartbreaker?
	🧩 ♥ 5:49pm dale: jeesus h.! ambulance chasers!
	5:51pm northguineahills: Hothead, new to me and digdug!
	🧩 ♥ 5:53pm dale: i liked him - how can you dislike anyone that was on king of the hill
	♥ 5:54pm common: is tom petty still with us? I hope so.
	5:55pm glenn: this reminds me of the time ken pranked andy with the news of don maclean's demise.
	5:55pm JakeGould: I hope he’s not dead. I want my jokes to just be tasteless, not completely without human regard.

	♥ 3:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: KIKI BALIKI!
	3:53pm kimzilla: You know I love this track!
	♥ 3:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: Well, I sure tuned in at the right time. The Frogs! On your radio tonight! And forever!
	♥ 3:53pm Scott Williams: HI WENDY!
	♥ 3:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: HI SCOTT! Thanks for cheering me up this afternoon. We all could use some Toy Porno.
	♥ 3:54pm Scott Williams: en.mediamass.net...
	♥ 3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we don't!...
	3:56pm V Priceless: jeez...TMZ was hoaxed?
	3:56pm JakeGould: He’s not dead, but he has suffered cardiac arrest. “Tom Petty Taken Off Life Support After Being Found Unconscious in Cardiac Arrest: Report” www.billboard.com...
	3:58pm Parq: He's not dead, but Lord, he's not feeling very well.
	♥ 3:58pm Rich in Washington: I never read any 'death' reports, but was pretty consistently seeing 'cardiac arrest' and 'life support'. That in itself is rarely good news, having lost two colleagues fairly recently who went that route. They never woke up.
	3:59pm JakeGould: So Tom Petty is a terrorist?
	♥ 4:02pm Uncle Michael: NY Daily News has reported that Petty's been taken off life support.
	4:02pm I am the Upsetter: Tom is dead.
	4:04pm Fox: I keep thinking you're saying "Ookla" as in "Ookla the Mot, who is the cool badass leonine humanoid who is Thundarr the Barbarian's faithful companion.
	4:04pm JakeGould: CBS News: “JUST IN: Rocker Tom Petty is dead at 66, Los Angeles Police Department confirms to CBS News” twitter.com...
	♥ 4:05pm BarbR: Just had to explain WFMU and the chat board to my manager... :-D
	♥ 4:06pm Uncle Michael: You can explain WFMU?
	4:06pm Aaron Working In Newark: RIP Tom
	4:06pm Aaron Working In Newark: The Hoax was from over the weekend. How weird is that?
	♥ 4:06pm Scott Williams: Looks like it's no hoax. shit...
	♥ 4:06pm marygidge: Sad sad news about Tom.
	🧩 ♥ 4:07pm Bas NL: Hi all!
	4:07pm I am the Upsetter: Sad indeed.
	4:07pm JakeGould: R.I.P. Tom Petty
	4:07pm bloopy: ah fuck. :( RIP TOM. Sad.
	🧩 ♥ 4:08pm ⓘⓚⓔ: Bummer. Say, I would not be surprised if the Frogs guy's last will and testament specified that 1) if Tom Petty is dead, then start a rumor that he is NOT dead and that his death is fake news (and Scott was a victim of this), or 2) if Tom Petty is alive, start a rumor that he is dead. (Too soon?)
	4:09pm JakeGould: @IKE: Don’t do me like that.
	4:10pm Parq: Is Franco still dead? Can we get that settled?
	4:11pm listener james from westwood: This fuckin' year. This fuckin' day!!
	♥ 4:11pm Michael 98145: i get all my news and fake news from FMU
	♥ 4:11pm Jeezy: Only 66!!!! :-(
	4:12pm JakeGould: In light of the Catatonian vote for independence from Spain? Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
	♥ 4:13pm Passaic River Blues: Everything continues to be terrible.
	4:13pm JakeGould: I meant to say: “Catalonian” Geez do I suck at words.
	4:13pm McGreivey: Rolling Stone and TMZ are saying he's dead. (That sounds kinda like a joke, actually.) No, it appears not to be a hoax.
	♥ 4:15pm linear: what a day
	♥ 4:15pm Passaic River Blues: I thought "Catatonian" was a bit of wordsmithing, a nod to the fact that endless shittiness is leading to general catatonia.
	4:15pm McGreivey: Oh. And this Chris Forsythe track is groovy.
	4:15pm northguineahills: Crap, now Tom Petty too! He's originally from the town I currently live in.
	4:16pm McGreivey: "Catatonics declare independence from Spain. Details at 11."
	♥ 4:18pm Threemoons: Crap. This Monday truly sucks (except for the fact that the bozos at my temp gig forgot to put their media gag firewall up so I can enjoy a little WFMU at work)
	♥ 4:18pm steveo: from one wilbury to another?
	♥ 4:19pm βrian: Why would they try to obstruct your work that way?
	♥ 4:20pm Threemoons: Brian--because they are slave-driving assholes who don't realize that we get more done with our own tunes on.
	4:20pm northguineahills: Tom Petty was supposed to play 2 shows in NYC Nov 6th & 7th.
	♥ 4:21pm Carmichael: Petty just played here a few weeks ago. I didn't see him, but know plenty of people who did.
	4:21pm northguineahills: I'm lucky, no firewall at my office. Technically, I could watch porn if I really wanted to (I don't).
	4:21pm JakeGould: @northguineahills: Tough gig.
	♥ 4:22pm Michael 98145: cripes. sad.
	4:23pm Parq: A substantial number of sources are now going with dead. I think the chances of this being a hoax are slim.
	4:23pm northguineahills: Considering I basically had no gig for 3 years, I'm rather happy to have a near dream job. To bad it isn't in NYC (the only drawback).
	4:24pm steve: ugh, what a rough day
	♥ 4:24pm Switchblade Batman: Man this was the song that woke me up on my very first day of high school. RIP Tom Petty, thanks for the memories.
	4:24pm Listener142985: Good Petty pick. He made a lot of good music.
	♥ 4:24pm Switchblade Batman: Lucky you @NorthGuinea, I'm DESPERATE for a decent office job. Dream or otherwise
	♥ 4:25pm steveo: 1976, wow. I somehow though this was the 80s.
	4:25pm northguineahills: My college girlfriend lived in the dorm (exact room) where the girl that American Girl was inspired by jumped to her death.
	4:25pm Marie: SCOTT!!!!! I've always loved this song. Hate to say it but some rhythm element in the background reminds me of the sounds of gunshots. Maybe this (!) will help bring about common sense gun control. OMG, I did not know TP had passed away until now. WOW.
	4:25pm northguineahills: *too bad (can't spell on Mondays)
	4:26pm Cecile: anchor
	4:26pm Chris from DC: Yes!
	♥ 4:26pm Carmichael: Ii was living in Korea when Damn the Torpedoes came out. I didn't know it for about 3 months, due to the ban on western media at the time. I happened to spot it sitting on a shelf in the BX.
	4:27pm Tardigrade: YESS! favorite song by a top 5 band! Thanks Scott.
	♥ 4:27pm slugluv1313: holy crap -- just seeing this now, Tom Petty is gone too? saw him many many years ago (old Palladium NYC, i think) DAMMIT!!! so totally sucks
	4:30pm Bill W: Hi Scott! .. Saw TP & the Heartbreakers only once, playing with Dylan at MSG in '86. I clearly recall wearing bellbottoms to that show. Only saw the Minutemen once too; did not wear bellbottoms.
	4:30pm JakeGould: @northguineahills: I meant Tom Petty has a tough gig trying to play 2 shows in NYC November 6th an 7th considering he’s now no longer with the living.
	♥ 4:31pm Smilty69: @jakegould: Too soon
	4:33pm northguineahills: We'll just have to reanimated him, or use a hologram, Jake.
	4:33pm Megadano: I'll never forget when Tom Petty took on the record companies and refused to release his album if they raised the price of records. I was just a kid and I remember thinking "this guy is one of the good guys."
	4:33pm JakeGould: @Smilty69: That’s what she said… After reading my comments at the top of the list.
	4:34pm northguineahills: @Carmichael: Didn't you have AFRTS in Korea?
	♥ 4:34pm Scott Williams: @Bill W, pics please or it didn't happen... and HELLO!
	♥ 4:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: RIP Tom Petty and also Monty Hall. Is the venue called Monty Hall now or are lawyers still in cease & desist mode?
	4:37pm medson: Hola Scott
	♥ 4:37pm Scott Williams: It is once again MONTY HALL, in accordance with the expressed wishes of the late Mr. H
	♥ 4:38pm Scott Williams: Howdydoo Medson!
	🧩 ♥ 4:40pm Stevel: No kidding, re. Monty Hall? That's great! (Good news, for once, today!)
	4:40pm Clay Pigeon: Such sad news about Tom Petty, in light of everything else going on. The natural line from Dylan to McGuinn to Petty is upset - he went too damned young. Always remember ...
	4:40pm medson: Just diggin the show
	♥ 4:42pm Carmichael: @ngh, yes we did, but it was the worst selection of American and British radio.
	♥ 4:45pm Michael 98145: that's okay - just a touch of Bryce
	4:45pm steve: i like a good skip
	♥ 4:45pm Roberto: LOLz
	♥ 4:46pm steveo: when you say the last word of the medicine track do a record scratch to cover it up
	4:46pm McGreivey: This Ariel Pink is nice. And I mean that in the best possible sense. Also, I think catatonic in Catalan might be catatunic. I dunno. It seemed more sensible at the beginning of the sentence.
	🧩 ♥ 4:46pm Stevel: Breathe. Focus.
	♥ 4:47pm Roberto: What better way to follow this up than with a nice round of Unkie Dunkie?
	♥ 4:48pm steveo: instant classic set break
	♥ 4:49pm Fuzzy: Peanut butter, Scott -- smooth it right out.
	♥ 4:51pm Rich in Washington: Oh god. Anything but Unkie Dunkie!
	♥ 4:53pm Uncle Michael: Luna/Chris Forsythe show needs a 11-17-17 poster based on this: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com...
	4:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HAPPY TWENNY YEARS!
	♥ 4:57pm Roberto: Just caught the TP news. Oy vey can this day get any worse?
	♥ 4:57pm Roberto: Yeah don't answer that.
	4:58pm northguineahills: suite Fairport!
	♥ 4:58pm Scott Williams: danke Daddy Rev!
	♥ 4:59pm Greg from ZONE 5: Oh snap, is that today, Scotty?
	♥ 5:01pm steveo: bye scott, thanks for the show, i am heading underground now for a spell
	5:01pm northguineahills: Hooaw, Boiy, two tens!!! Long time!
	5:04pm melinda: Hi all
	♥ 5:06pm Michael 98145: a sawbuck !
	♥ 5:07pm Michael 98145: guess that would be double
	♥ 5:12pm Michael 98145: oh, my -

	5:15pm northguineahills: One day you'll catch up w/ Irwin!
	♥ 5:16pm common: scott, all. good eve.
	5:18pm northguineahills: @glenn: my wife would drop a deuce w/ the bathroom door open that was next to kitchen while I would be cooking. Not sure what that woman's problem. (She would do this very early on in our relationship).
	5:19pm northguineahills: Not familiar w/ Tim Goldie, faved!
	5:20pm glenn: it takes all kinds, as the kids say.
	5:22pm Davis: wow. zing
	5:25pm northguineahills: New David Grubbs!
	5:28pm JakeGould: @glenn: Why are you making a tough day even harder?
	5:29pm glenn: sorry, man. i'm a dick, i guess.
	5:34pm JakeGould: It’s cool.
	♥ 5:35pm Smilty69: LAPD cannot confirm Tom Petty's death. Same thing happened to Ron Jeremy.
	♥ 5:35pm Michael 98145: ... huh ?
	5:35pm sufferwords: Tom Petty was one of the artists that even in the earliest days of punk you didn't have to reject him -he was so cool squares and freaks could embrace him in equal measure - so few could claim that ability to connect to us all - peace
	5:37pm choggie: Great show, love from Texas ya genius!
	♥ 5:38pm Switchblade Batman: www.nme.com... - Tom might be alive after all
	5:38pm JakeGould: Is Tom Petty a zombie now?
	♥ 5:39pm Switchblade Batman: Although it still doesn't look good.
	♥ 5:39pm Scott Williams: thanks Choggie!
	♥ 5:39pm Switchblade Batman: More like a fern or a ficus @Jake
	5:41pm northguineahills: I need to get this Popeye reissue!
	♥ 5:41pm Webhamster Henry: Yes! apparently disc II is the disk for WFMU!
	♥ 5:41pm Michael 98145: 1980 ?! yikes.
	♥ 5:44pm Uncle Michael: Is this the Traveling Wallabys?
	🧩 ♥ 5:47pm dale: was enjoying the show until the downer of news. my wife said it was a fake and i just came in and she said it was true re: mr. petty. is it or isn't it?
	♥ 5:47pm Uncle Michael: www.hollywoodreporter.com...
	♥ 5:47pm Scott Williams: @dale, seems to be mostly true, but a lotta media jumping the gun
	♥ 5:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Schrödinger's Heartbreaker?
	🧩 ♥ 5:49pm dale: jeesus h.! ambulance chasers!
	5:51pm northguineahills: Hothead, new to me and digdug!
	🧩 ♥ 5:53pm dale: i liked him - how can you dislike anyone that was on king of the hill
	♥ 5:54pm common: is tom petty still with us? I hope so.
	5:55pm glenn: this reminds me of the time ken pranked andy with the news of don maclean's demise.
	5:55pm JakeGould: I hope he’s not dead. I want my jokes to just be tasteless, not completely without human regard.
	♥ 5:57pm Michael 98145: thanks again, Scott W
	5:58pm northguineahills: Soipoib, Scott!
	5:58pm JakeGould: Thanks Scott!
