Hi @KenFHP, glad you are joining the Ken Party this morning. No, not doing a mascot contest this year so Big Mama's reign is extended by amphibious decree. I never expected a goldurn FROG to be so machiavellian and autocratic but there you go.
I thought butthole surfers wrote this song till like a couple days(years) ago

Somewhere out there is a version of them doing Neil Young's "For the Turnstiles" that was being recorded for a Neil tribute album. It was not included because it was "unlistenable." Please somebody find that.
Ken, I really think WFMU should consider amateur uranium prospecting to raise funds. It's evidently all the rage, according to this old industrial: https://youtu.be/fCdB1Wdc5VI
Fun Wikipedia fact of the day: both apartheid-era South Africa and France banned "Crazy Horses" due to assumed drug references. Didn't they do any oppo research on the Osmonds?

Folk/Classic rock and garbage J-Pop....yeah that about sums up my musical taste
185 12th Street in Beautiful Downtown Jersey City, by the mouth of the Holland Tunnel. That's where the magic happens tonight. Free burgers for all of my friends!!
Great to see that Im not the only one with a STICK IT TO THE MAN icon this morning, Anybody who pledges even partly to this show gets one. Should I change it from the Anarchy symbol to a large pointy stick?
i saw a poster this week for the ongoing misfits tour and I thought maybe i want to see that because of that danzig lounge song you played, but it's at the garden, so no
"yo!" has a masculine O ending, a final inflection or suffix designating that the word belongs to the masculine gender in some already excluded minority ethnic group. So I vote NO! to YO!
In 1973, US Representative Harley Orrin Staggers heard the song – which includes the lines "'Til you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules" and "But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see" – on WGTB and lodged a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The manager of the station, Ken Sleeman, faced a year in prison and a $10,000 fine, but defended his decision to play the song saying, "The People of Washington DC are sophisticated enough to accept the occasional four-letter word in context, and not become sexually aroused, offended, or upset." The charges were dropped.
Don Bartnick's diction is deliberately lousy, but the horribly filthy, massive fucking is only implied -- we get to sonically witness the argument afterwards.
Well, try swearing here in the comment section. Type f__k and you'll see it gets censored by the FCC when it gets posted in the playlist. I invite everyone to swear to test this mechanism.

Nick Berard:

queems:

10:42am
Sam:
No fucking way I'm writing fuck on here and getting fucking censored. That would break my fucking heart.
I got so worked up that I fell on top of the bypass button. Im sorry everybody. I didnt think anything bad would happen if I said STOP TRUMP but I was wrong
10:43am
Sam:
The song lyrics idea might be good for Seven Second Delay. Tiptoeing around the F word would make Andy super uncomfortable.
10:44am
Mandy:
I keep trying to write the word PLEDGE but it keeps changing it to "pledge" for PLEDGE sake what the PLEDGE

John from Florham park:
Wonder if there any trump fans in here and why are they fans of this station
@Jack apparently - a faction at the Pacifica board independently fired all the WBAI staffers without warning . The station is broadcasting a feed from KPFA
- the staff have an injunction out to try to wrest it back
- WBAI had been in super serious debt and had marginal listenership, dragging the rest of Pacifica down, which is not so hot at its other stations either.

John from Florham park:
@Jack the situation with WBAI is one hot mess and they got a reprieve until I think sometime next week
Oh... fun fact. I started reading a Ms. Marvel graphic novel yesterday, (I really do have a 12 yo daughter, so I am allowed) and anyway the character Ms. Marvel is based in Jersey City.
Thanks, Ken, commenters! Great music, gifs, comments and anti-tr*mp rants as usual! Nice to see you all. Till next episode and remember! Loosen up and BE HAPPY!!
