Listener comments!
	♥ 4:45pm Asheville Jon: So, so sad about David Berman, RIP. :(
	9:01pm Sam Segal: Me too, Jon. Glad you're here to celebrate him with me, though.
	♥ 9:02pm Asheville Jon: Hey Sam. Been anticipating your show ever since I heard the sad news.
	♥ 9:05pm Franco Twinkie: Sam. Thanks for the shout for Ras last week. I was listening, but had no communicator.
	♥ 9:09pm melinda: @Asheville Jon me too, hoped Sam would have something lined up.
	♥ 9:12pm Asheville Jon: before his death, I was hoping that this show was going to be a grand discussion of the Purple Mountains tour which would have been going on now.
	♥ 9:15pm melinda: I love his voice on this.
	9:16pm Sam Segal: Melinda and Franco. Thanks for being here.
	9:16pm Sam Segal: "My favorite singers couldn't sing." I think that's a Berman lyric.
	♥ 9:19pm melinda: @Sam it is. I think I first learned of him from a local DJ who was inspired by that lyric to do a show called Vocalists Who Can't Sing.
	9:19pm northguineahills: Nice to hear David Berman, too bad he never played w/ David Berhman.
	9:23pm Sam Segal: Haha, NGH, that would've been fascinating. Berman could've done spoken word over Behrman.
	♥ 9:24pm chresti: Hi Horse, been listening
	9:24pm ChrisFarrell: Judging by what I am seeing David Berman has passed away.. his memory will never be replaced and his music lives on
	9:25pm Sam Segal: Very well said, Chris.
	9:25pm Sam Segal: Chresti!
	♥ 9:26pm Doug Schulkind: So glad you are doing this, Sam.
	9:27pm Sam Segal: Couldn't not, Doug. Thanks for being here to sit Shiva with us.
	♥ 9:30pm Doug Schulkind: Shiva Jews.
	♥ 9:33pm melinda: San Francisco BC is one of the best songs ever.
	9:34pm Sam Segal: Absolutely, Melinda. His absurdist narrative songs are some of my absolute favorites.
	♥ 9:37pm melinda: "Fist cuisine"
	9:40pm Sam Segal: Ha! I was chuckling at that line specifically just now too, Melinda.
	♥ 9:42pm melinda: It sounds kind of like an effete version of tough-guy lingo
	9:55pm northguineahills: Johnny Paycheck!
	♥ 9:55pm Doug Schulkind: Another great American songwriter.
	♥ 9:56pm Asheville Jon: some nice words from Drag City today www.dragcity.com...
	9:58pm Sam Segal: Namedropping "Ladies Home Journal" seems like something David Berman would've pulled off as brilliantly as Johnny Paycheck did.
	10:00pm northguineahills: Sounds like Gina Bacon took over the controls (and I dig!)
	♥ 10:01pm Asheville Jon: gonna have to catch the rest of the show on the archives. thanks for doing this tribute Sam.
	10:02pm Sam Segal: Thanks for being here, Jon.
	♥ 10:03pm Asheville Jon: sure thing Sam. have a good rest of the night.
	♥ 10:08pm melinda: Great Kinks song, I first heard Kirsty MacColl's version.
	10:17pm Chuck: I just love them Nashville Katz!!!
	10:21pm Chuck: I'm pretty sure that John Sebastian was Jewish... I know for sure that David Bromberg was!
	10:23pm Sam Segal: Chuck! Hey, maybe Lovin' Cohens was a Lovin' Spoonful side project.
	♥ 10:40pm melinda: I didn't realize until recently that he spent part of his youth in Dallas. Fellow Texan, sort of.
	♥ 10:41pm chresti: I only became awares of Silver Jews, Purple Mountain, and David Berman in the last year or so while listening to WFMU
	10:42pm Sam Segal: @Melinda: Always loved his description of Dallas in that song..."A million steers [turned into] buildings made of mirrors."
	♥ 10:42pm chresti: Aspects of his voice is reminding me of Johnny Cash
	10:43pm Sam Segal: If I've helped anyone discover David Berman, my job here is done.
	♥ 10:43pm melinda: @Sam totally.
	♥ 10:46pm melinda: @chresti I can hear that too. Though their voices are distinct from each other he reminds me of Lou Reed in that they are both weary-sounding talk-singers.
	♥ 10:48pm melinda: I remembered this line as "Squirrels in town from Connecticut, Just in time for Fall". I like the idea of squirrels on a leaf-peeping vacation.
	♥ 10:49pm doctorjazz: Hey, late to the Shiva, just recently heard Silver Jews on FMU as well, have to check out the music. Any pastrami left?
	♥ 11:00pm Franco Twinkie: I will convert if pastrami is involved.
	11:06pm Sam Segal: Pastrami is always involved.
	11:07pm Sam Segal: You're right on time, Doc!
	11:11pm Sam Segal: David Berman's Jewish reading list: twitter.com...
	♥ 11:13pm doctorjazz: Bought Tanglewood Numbers after hearing it on FMU, but, being short on time and long on "new arrivals", haven't gotten to listen to it much.
	11:14pm Sam Segal: One of his absolute masterpieces. Great choice.
	♥ 11:16pm doctorjazz: Just saw Betty LaVette this past Saturday, Montclair Jazz Festival, was a bit disappointing,have to say (but Eddie Palmieri,the closer,more than made up for it).
	11:17pm Sam Segal: Apologies in advance for playing Kenny Chesney two times in one month, but Berman loved this song and so do I.
	11:17pm ChrisFarrell: Thanks for the GREAT show Sam. Gotta kick out early, big day tomorrow. See you next week
	11:20pm Sam Segal: Thanks, Chris! Really glad you were here for this one.
	♥ 11:25pm doctorjazz: Interesting list, gave it a quick going through, he was really involved in his way.
	11:34pm Sam Segal: I loved his little descriptions. "If you trend hippie..."
	♥ 11:36pm chresti: Thanks Sam, going to hit the sack now...
	11:37pm Sam Segal: Thanks for being here, Chresti.
	♥ 11:44pm melinda: Thanks Sam!
	♥ 11:46pm doctorjazz: thank you Sam!
	11:49pm Sam Segal: Thank you both!
	♥ 11:49pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Sam. I'm going to throw back a shooter of cough medicine for David, and call it a day.
	11:55pm Sam Segal: You've earned it, Franco.
	11:58pm Carmichael in Portland OR: Barely on time say heya Sam.
	12:01am Sam Segal: Thanks for popping by, Portland Carm!
