	9:35am Ken From Hyde Park: DJ Mayuko would be interested in the birds of Finland. www.discoveringfinland.com...

	9:51am Davee: She needs some cats!
	9:53am Mike Wolf: first heard “Dead” via Ede Robin’s version that was on one of those awesome Trikont comps (“Down & Out: The Sad Soul of the Black South”). what a song!
	9:54am Passaic River Blues: @Mr. Wolf: that sounds like a fantastic comp.--must investigate.
	9:59am Handy Haversack: Morning, @Phillippe! @Snoochie, the music venues I've looked at in Nashville so far look depressingly corporate -- that's why I was hoping an FMUer would have advice.
	10:00am Mike Wolf: @passaic It’s killer. Not a ton of photos but a fun booklet in German and English, 24 songs, only a few artists known to me (at the time I got it, it came out in ’98 or ’99 I think)...
	10:00am Marc Francis: Damn. What a couple of songs!
	10:03am John from Florham park: Good morning trouble and fellow troublemakers
	10:05am ?: Bitchin' show today, Trouble.
	10:06am Snoochienucci: @Handy i def agree with that. Its turned to a bunch of frat boys and girls going to take instagram pictures lol. and not trying to hate but just what it seems like from my end.
	10:06am Handy Haversack: Well met in Troubled times, John from FP!
	10:06am Snoochienucci: Morning JFFP!
	10:06am Domenic: I'm going to call in 'bird emergency' to work tomorrow
	10:07am Trouble: gracias! @marc francis , ?
	10:08am John from Florham park: @Handy ask Gina bacon since she lives in Nashville , she dies a show on Saturday between 4and 5 on the drummer stream
	10:09am Handy Haversack: Thanks, John! Great tip!
	10:09am John from Florham park: @Handy well met too @Snooch howdy
	10:10am John from Florham park: @Handy I meant 3 to 5?sorry
	10:10am D. Lightfoot: this is what I need
	10:11am Davee: loving this
	10:16am John from Florham park: @Handy your very welcome
	10:18am tak: so strong i WOKE UP
	10:20am TC: Trouble...hitting the spot!
	10:21am waters7: Only signing in now. Need Trouble now, more than eveh!
	10:22am John from Florham park: @Waters7 trouble and the rest of this station keep us sabe in an insane world
	10:26am Trouble: good morning yee late comers...
	10:28am John from Florham park: @Trouble better late then never
	10:32am Domenic: Spearamental!
	10:36am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Nate > Lever (from "the longest joke in the world")
	10:37am xtrakrispy: Always one of FAVORITE Air songs...brings me to another time and place...
	10:38am βrian: I didn't read any reports on last night's debate. Youze?
	10:39am Hubig Pie: I see a wad of gum singing this
	10:40am G: @Brian: Most thought Bloomy got smoked. Everyone else was after him.
	10:40am listener james from westwood: One of my favorite will-never-see-the-movie soundtracks. (Same with Social Network and Tron: Legacy.)
	10:42am Priscilla: Social Network was great
	10:43am Handy Haversack: Great set, Trouble!
	10:45am Bill W: Is today part of marathon spring training, Trouble?
	10:46am Ike: Bloomberg was pathetic. That dingbat has no charisma or passion and you need that to win a presidential election, not just mountains of cash. They justifiably ripped him several new holes. At least most of the other candidates seemed energetic and lively. Even Biden seemed lucid for once.
	10:48am Trouble: yes @bill w it is! up in the cheap seats in studio b, getting ready for the action. don't know if i'm emotionally ready for the season opener...
	10:49am Ken From Hyde Park: If someone could reanimate the corpse of Teddy Roosevelt, it'd make for an interesting election.
	10:49am peter in SEA: Bonjour peuple de Jeudi! Bonjour Trouble, sleepytime Seattle...
	10:51am Snoochienucci: unfortunately the dems seem like a bit of a sinking ship to me. And idk how the whole socialism thing is going to go over lol
	10:52am Snoochienucci: @KFHP x2 lol
	10:52am βrian: Glad to hear Bloomberg got pummeled. He's got no business being there.
	10:52am Ike: @KFHP, to be fair, that would make any conflict interesting. Need to liven up a corporate retreat? Reanimate Teddy Roosevelt! Need to break up a wild boar fight? Reanimate Teddy Roosevelt! Got a boring standard zombie apocalypse? Reanimate Teddy Roosevelt, he'll be the fun one!
	10:54am Snoochienucci: @Ike @KFHP i think you may be onto the next blockbuster summer smash movie idea hahah
	10:57am Guido from Cologne: Sudan Archives!
	10:59am Handy Haversack: @Ike: Maybe for Marathon, too!
	11:00am N'Lo: This Sudan Archives is amazing! I think I'd read about her but not heard so thank you for bringing her to our attention!
	11:01am davefromtoronto: your show is like a musical bird migration!
	11:02am Mike Wolf: Trouble, who’s throwing out the Marathon First Pitch this year, d’you know?
	11:02am Handy Haversack: @Mike Wolf, I think it's Todd-o-Phonic Todd!
	11:02am melinda: @snoochie that would be fun. Agree about the dems. Maine now has a primary election in addition to the caucus so hopefully I can avoid the humongous lines that the caucuses have been experiencing for the last, I no longer have the enthusiasm to make the standing and waiting worthwhile.
	11:03am John from Florham park: @Ike @KFHP @Snooch I have made an effort not to wstch any of the debates and would rather hear or read about it on the news the next morning so I don’t get so pissed about it
	11:03am melinda: for the last 2 elections
	11:03am melinda: Enjoying the tunes today Trub!
	11:07am John from Florham park: @Melinda used to be a news junkie.would spend all day watching either cable news or cspan, now I can’t deal with it that much
	11:11am Snoochienucci: @JFFP i agree about getting pissed, but tbh the news is so skewed on both sides i kinda like to watch the whole thing on my own and come to my own conclusions. With the whole impeachment fiasco i watched/listened to just about every day of it. Cuz i knew whatever is reported about again on both sides is mostly BS and headliners to try and skew the sheeple. But thats enough politics from me! lol back to happy land of wfmu
	11:11am xtrakrispy: I paid less than $2k/semester at Rutgers New Brunswick 1985-1989
	11:11am John from Florham park: @Trouble WTF with Rutgers that stinks
	11:12am Priscilla: Maybe she could start a Kickstarter? This is criminal.
	11:13am βrian: International students are sought after, as well, because they can pay the full tuition.
	11:13am jt: OMG this story reminds me of This American Life about a very smart girl who was promised all sorts of educational scholarships everyone thought she went off to Vassar or something.. but then no one could find her anymore, turns out she just missed out on life changing opportunities was a cashier at Key Food or something heart-breaking story, I was crying.
	11:13am John from Florham park: @Snooch I agree with that
	11:14am Dieter: Really appreciated the dispatch from the education frontlines. Thanks Trouble.
	11:14am Carmichael: Heya Trub and acolytes.
	11:14am editor_b: I work at an HBCU, and most all my friends are in education, many in public schools around New Orleans, including my wife. So I feel every bit of what you are saying.
	11:15am Snoochienucci: this is one of those that no matter how many times i hear it, it still hits me hard as ever
	11:15am Alicia rose: Seriously that story and then this song, I’m bawling
	11:15am Handy Haversack: Trouble, Kate has a class of first-graders who are learning this song! She also works with NYC HS kids and sees that story you told played out year after year, again and again. Everybody knows the game is fixed. The poor stay poor and the rich get rich. Until we tear it down and start over.
	11:15am P: Thank you for bringing this all too common story to listeners’ attentions. This student is lucky to have such an empathetic and passionate teacher and that will do more for her in this world than you can ever imagine.
	11:15am AG from NC: Try Warren Wilson College in North Carolina, work study program covered room and board when I went there in the eighties
	11:15am John from Florham park: @Brian with this government that’s not gonna be for very much longer @Pricilla I agree with you very much
	11:15am jt: I don't know about you guys but I am still pissed about NOT getting those Harriet Tubman Twenties... we should get Nina Simone fifties..
	11:17am peter in SEA: Thank you for that important information, Trouble. But the rest of us DO KNOW this story, even if one doesn't work in education, we've been screaming it for years and what is happening about it? Almost nothing! We have to hold our elected officials accountable on this! Our tax dollars are being squandered!
	11:17am jt: AG My Niece went to WW and loved it , they are still down there, making their way in the world,
	11:18am Alexei: its not really funny at all to hear the story about the poor girl, still, a bit weird to hear almost communist approach from a dj, there was USSR some time ago, where all education was absolutely free for all the races, religions, ages etc., but it was the USA who dragged us into capitalism. and now you say how bad is it to pay 80 grand a year for the U? its the same everywhere now.
	11:18am βrian: UW-Madison is better for in-state costs, but not much: financialaid.wisc.edu...
	11:19am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Trouble and everybody!
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Morning, @tim!
	11:21am John from Florham park: @Trouble thanks for all this nina simone
	11:21am Jay Goges: Trouble this I shall be released is so gorgeous. Thank you for playing.
	11:22am Carmichael: I know nothing about Bloomberg (I'm from CA). Why do so many people dislike him?
	11:23am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Handy, John and crew!
	11:23am βrian: Just dipped in to WCBN where they're playing "Keep Smiling at Trouble." Heh.
	11:23am tim from champaign (now washington): What's the Nina Simone set occasion? Other than she's awesome, of course.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: @Carmichael: He made us stop smoking in bars!
	11:24am jt: Alexei Education in Democratic Capitalist Switzerland is about $1500 a semester, & Italy is practically free, it has to do with how economy is structured and greed, you need to get out more.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: @tim: NS's bday tomorrow. Yowza, I love this version.
	11:24am John from Florham park: @Brian there is another station besides this one:) @Tim howdy
	11:25am Mike Wolf: underrated how much the drum sound augments the vibe of this song ugh, somehow the White Magic version — which is superb — has become the definitive one for me...
	11:26am βrian: Why, it's where Station Manager Ken got his start!
	11:28am John from Florham park: @Brian only joshing and yes I know where it’s Jen got started
	11:29am ?: Thanks Trouble, great set of Nina tunes...Hail to the Queen!
	11:29am Passaic River Blues: @Carmichael: for one thing, Bloomberg was fundraising and campaigning for GOP governor and senate campaigns as recently as 2016--meaning he helped preserve McConnell's majority, but now he's a Democrat? Also, as many have commented elsewhere, he blamed poor homeowners in Brooklyn and southeast Queens for the foreclosure crisis rather than the scum lenders who preyed on them with misleading predatory loans or the scum titans of finance who repackaged risky loans and transmuted them into allegedly risk-free investments. He ramped up the NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy despite explicitly acknowledging it targeted black and Latinos and resulted in arrests something like less than 1% of the time.
	11:30am prudy: Queen comment from me...
	11:30am Alexei: don`t tell me jt, I`m not only Russian, I`m also Italian citizen. you wouldn`t want to get Italian education even for free. and I got mine in GB as an Italian, yes, it was like 1500 GBP a year back then, but now it is about GBP 6000
	11:31am Ike: @Alexei what’s your point? People aren’t countries. And there’s more than 2 ways to do things, as JT said. The evil fake socialist totalitarianism of the USSR shouldn’t ruin everything and make everyone a right-winger forever.
	11:31am Roberto: Here we go, 46 minutes of My Sweet Lord!
	11:31am prudy: Bloombery helped destroy NYC as we know it with his zoning changes that benefitted the real estate industry and rich people in general..
	11:34am JakeGould: Whatever happens, nobody please take the private healthcare I love so much. Whenever I hear anyone talk about health insurance — whether it be a stubbed toe or open heart surgery — they always talk about how wonderful, great and positive their health insurance experience has been.
	11:35am βrian: The dead don't talk about health insurance, of course.
	11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): I wonder what 70s Nina Simone backed by Gil Scott-Heron's Midnight Band would have sounded like.
	11:37am Handy Haversack: My health insurance insures that if I have a health crisis, I will be beggared only unto seen generations and not until the actual heat death of the universe. So that's something. Thanks, capitalism. Good looking out.
	11:37am Handy Haversack: ^seven. That I did the trick poorly is the worst insult of all.
	11:39am JakeGould: For anyone who wants to know how “great” the U.S. health insurance system is, just look at this Reddit AMA from 2014 or so: “I was mauled by a bear, fought it off, and drove 4 miles down a mountain with my face hanging off. AMA” Then in the AMA itself: “What do you find the hardest to overcome on your path back to recovery?” Her answer? “Blue Cross. Hands down.” A bear literally ripped her face and the health insurance is the worst part of this… Because it lasts forever… www.reddit.com...
	11:40am Alexei: I have no point Ike, it is just funny sometimes to see people discuss obvious things in this mode. the funniest though is Russia`s "influence" on the US elections etc. Imagine: at the times of R.Reagan, would anybody ever even speak aloud that USSR have ifluence on anything in US, even a public toilet in Harlem NY? was that possible at all? medicine was free for all in the USSR too, ha ha.
	11:40am Passaic River Blues: @Tim: oh my god, Nina on the piano, Gil on the Rhodes, and Brian Jackson on a moog!
	11:41am Handy Haversack: I'm about to go to the dr. right now and already preparing to warn him about all the tests he just can't run on my fluids because the insurance co. doesn't consider them part of "wellness" but diagnostic and so will stick me with the bill. Zinc? We'll never know! Gah, sorry, Trouble. This set is so good. But it angries up the blood!
	11:41am JakeGould: @Alexei: That is part of the reason we all feel like our brains are turning upside down. A local bagel (BAGEL!) store near me has owners who thinks its “unfair” that Nazis can’t rally in Germany.
	11:42am βrian: I've never understood the notion that a health insurer can choose not to cover treatment. Why is that legal? I mean, offer insurance or don't offer insurance.
	11:42am Bill W: I've been dealing with a chronic medical problem for almost 8 years, and being on a NY state marketplace plan, the financial picture is not pretty... I lay awake thinking about the exact amounts of bills, checking balance, etc.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: Blue Cross: "What evidence do we have that your face wasn't hanging off BEFORE you went up that mountain?"
	11:44am βrian: Your face is a pre-existing condition!
	11:45am Snoochienucci: alright alright alright can we just stop with the politics.
	11:46am Hubig Pie: I'm here for the tunes
	11:46am βrian: We will. When we're dead.
	11:46am Strandlund: This Nina Simone set is EPIC!!!
	11:47am Snoochienucci: HAPPY BDAY NINA!!!!
	11:47am Alexei: sure, sure, I`m so so sorry.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: We are smiling in our little corner of the Modern World.
	11:49am waters7: Yer killing me!
	11:50am Faye: really enjoying the program Trouble!!! HBD NINA !
	11:50am Bill W: Trouble's remarks on freezing out students from college was political. Nina Simone is political.
	11:51am Rich in Washington: What a wonderful set! Thanks, Trouble.
	11:54am Yes: i missed the nina set?!
	11:54am Phillippe Bastille: Thank you Trouble! I missed most of this last set, looking forward to catching it on the archive!
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Trouble, thanks as always for a great show -- and this set is just fantastic. Needed and needful. We're off to the doctor. Zinc of me fondly, all!
	11:54am Snoochienucci: good luck handy!
	11:56am ?: Happy Birthday to the formidable Nina. Simone. Hope Trouble plays Nina in French- Brel, Ne Me Quitte Pas, and Brassens, Il n'ya pas d'amour Heureux.
	11:56am Handy Haversack: @Yes: Yes. Thanks, Snooch!
	11:56am βrian: Bloomberg could fund all tuition at Rutgers with beer money.
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for listening this morning. the personal is political
	11:59am Phillippe Bastille: In the good news category, that dude who got in that horrible wreck at the end of the Daytona 500 walked out of the hospital on his own power yesterday. Takes a 2 ton racecar to the head and walks away. Amazing
	11:59am jt: ...and remember, the tallest building in any city ...is the insurance company!
	12:00pm JakeGould: Thanks Trouble!

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

	9:51am Davee: She needs some cats!
	9:53am Mike Wolf: first heard “Dead” via Ede Robin’s version that was on one of those awesome Trikont comps (“Down & Out: The Sad Soul of the Black South”). what a song!
	9:54am Passaic River Blues: @Mr. Wolf: that sounds like a fantastic comp.--must investigate.
	9:59am Handy Haversack: Morning, @Phillippe! @Snoochie, the music venues I've looked at in Nashville so far look depressingly corporate -- that's why I was hoping an FMUer would have advice.
	10:00am Mike Wolf: @passaic It’s killer. Not a ton of photos but a fun booklet in German and English, 24 songs, only a few artists known to me (at the time I got it, it came out in ’98 or ’99 I think)...
	10:00am Marc Francis: Damn. What a couple of songs!
	10:03am John from Florham park: Good morning trouble and fellow troublemakers
	10:05am ?: Bitchin' show today, Trouble.

	10:08am John from Florham park: @Handy ask Gina bacon since she lives in Nashville , she dies a show on Saturday between 4and 5 on the drummer stream
	10:09am Handy Haversack: Thanks, John! Great tip!
	10:09am John from Florham park: @Handy well met too @Snooch howdy
	10:10am John from Florham park: @Handy I meant 3 to 5?sorry
	10:10am D. Lightfoot: this is what I need
	10:11am Davee: loving this
	10:16am John from Florham park: @Handy your very welcome
	10:18am tak: so strong i WOKE UP
	10:20am TC: Trouble...hitting the spot!
	10:21am waters7: Only signing in now. Need Trouble now, more than eveh!
	10:22am John from Florham park: @Waters7 trouble and the rest of this station keep us sabe in an insane world
	10:26am Trouble: good morning yee late comers...
	10:28am John from Florham park: @Trouble better late then never
	10:32am Domenic: Spearamental!
	10:36am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Nate > Lever (from "the longest joke in the world")
	10:37am xtrakrispy: Always one of FAVORITE Air songs...brings me to another time and place...
	10:38am βrian: I didn't read any reports on last night's debate. Youze?
	10:39am Hubig Pie: I see a wad of gum singing this
	10:40am G: @Brian: Most thought Bloomy got smoked. Everyone else was after him.
	10:40am listener james from westwood: One of my favorite will-never-see-the-movie soundtracks. (Same with Social Network and Tron: Legacy.)
	10:42am Priscilla: Social Network was great
	10:43am Handy Haversack: Great set, Trouble!
	10:45am Bill W: Is today part of marathon spring training, Trouble?
	10:46am Ike: Bloomberg was pathetic. That dingbat has no charisma or passion and you need that to win a presidential election, not just mountains of cash. They justifiably ripped him several new holes. At least most of the other candidates seemed energetic and lively. Even Biden seemed lucid for once.
	10:48am Trouble: yes @bill w it is! up in the cheap seats in studio b, getting ready for the action. don't know if i'm emotionally ready for the season opener...
	10:49am Ken From Hyde Park: If someone could reanimate the corpse of Teddy Roosevelt, it'd make for an interesting election.
	10:49am peter in SEA: Bonjour peuple de Jeudi! Bonjour Trouble, sleepytime Seattle...
	10:51am Snoochienucci: unfortunately the dems seem like a bit of a sinking ship to me. And idk how the whole socialism thing is going to go over lol
	10:52am Snoochienucci: @KFHP x2 lol
	10:52am βrian: Glad to hear Bloomberg got pummeled. He's got no business being there.
	10:52am Ike: @KFHP, to be fair, that would make any conflict interesting. Need to liven up a corporate retreat? Reanimate Teddy Roosevelt! Need to break up a wild boar fight? Reanimate Teddy Roosevelt! Got a boring standard zombie apocalypse? Reanimate Teddy Roosevelt, he'll be the fun one!
	10:54am Snoochienucci: @Ike @KFHP i think you may be onto the next blockbuster summer smash movie idea hahah
	10:57am Guido from Cologne: Sudan Archives!
	10:59am Handy Haversack: @Ike: Maybe for Marathon, too!
	11:00am N'Lo: This Sudan Archives is amazing! I think I'd read about her but not heard so thank you for bringing her to our attention!
	11:01am davefromtoronto: your show is like a musical bird migration!
	11:02am Mike Wolf: Trouble, who’s throwing out the Marathon First Pitch this year, d’you know?
	11:02am Handy Haversack: @Mike Wolf, I think it's Todd-o-Phonic Todd!
	11:02am melinda: @snoochie that would be fun. Agree about the dems. Maine now has a primary election in addition to the caucus so hopefully I can avoid the humongous lines that the caucuses have been experiencing for the last, I no longer have the enthusiasm to make the standing and waiting worthwhile.
	11:03am John from Florham park: @Ike @KFHP @Snooch I have made an effort not to wstch any of the debates and would rather hear or read about it on the news the next morning so I don’t get so pissed about it
	11:03am melinda: for the last 2 elections
	11:03am melinda: Enjoying the tunes today Trub!
	11:07am John from Florham park: @Melinda used to be a news junkie.would spend all day watching either cable news or cspan, now I can’t deal with it that much
	11:11am Snoochienucci: @JFFP i agree about getting pissed, but tbh the news is so skewed on both sides i kinda like to watch the whole thing on my own and come to my own conclusions. With the whole impeachment fiasco i watched/listened to just about every day of it. Cuz i knew whatever is reported about again on both sides is mostly BS and headliners to try and skew the sheeple. But thats enough politics from me! lol back to happy land of wfmu
	11:11am xtrakrispy: I paid less than $2k/semester at Rutgers New Brunswick 1985-1989
	11:11am John from Florham park: @Trouble WTF with Rutgers that stinks
	11:12am Priscilla: Maybe she could start a Kickstarter? This is criminal.
	11:13am βrian: International students are sought after, as well, because they can pay the full tuition.
	11:13am jt: OMG this story reminds me of This American Life about a very smart girl who was promised all sorts of educational scholarships everyone thought she went off to Vassar or something.. but then no one could find her anymore, turns out she just missed out on life changing opportunities was a cashier at Key Food or something heart-breaking story, I was crying.
	11:13am John from Florham park: @Snooch I agree with that
	11:14am Dieter: Really appreciated the dispatch from the education frontlines. Thanks Trouble.
	11:14am Carmichael: Heya Trub and acolytes.
	11:14am editor_b: I work at an HBCU, and most all my friends are in education, many in public schools around New Orleans, including my wife. So I feel every bit of what you are saying.
	11:15am Snoochienucci: this is one of those that no matter how many times i hear it, it still hits me hard as ever
	11:15am Alicia rose: Seriously that story and then this song, I’m bawling
	11:15am Handy Haversack: Trouble, Kate has a class of first-graders who are learning this song! She also works with NYC HS kids and sees that story you told played out year after year, again and again. Everybody knows the game is fixed. The poor stay poor and the rich get rich. Until we tear it down and start over.
	11:15am P: Thank you for bringing this all too common story to listeners’ attentions. This student is lucky to have such an empathetic and passionate teacher and that will do more for her in this world than you can ever imagine.
	11:15am AG from NC: Try Warren Wilson College in North Carolina, work study program covered room and board when I went there in the eighties
	11:15am John from Florham park: @Brian with this government that’s not gonna be for very much longer @Pricilla I agree with you very much
	11:15am jt: I don't know about you guys but I am still pissed about NOT getting those Harriet Tubman Twenties... we should get Nina Simone fifties..
	11:17am peter in SEA: Thank you for that important information, Trouble. But the rest of us DO KNOW this story, even if one doesn't work in education, we've been screaming it for years and what is happening about it? Almost nothing! We have to hold our elected officials accountable on this! Our tax dollars are being squandered!
	11:17am jt: AG My Niece went to WW and loved it , they are still down there, making their way in the world,
	11:18am Alexei: its not really funny at all to hear the story about the poor girl, still, a bit weird to hear almost communist approach from a dj, there was USSR some time ago, where all education was absolutely free for all the races, religions, ages etc., but it was the USA who dragged us into capitalism. and now you say how bad is it to pay 80 grand a year for the U? its the same everywhere now.
	11:18am βrian: UW-Madison is better for in-state costs, but not much: financialaid.wisc.edu...
	11:19am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Trouble and everybody!
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Morning, @tim!
	11:21am John from Florham park: @Trouble thanks for all this nina simone
	11:21am Jay Goges: Trouble this I shall be released is so gorgeous. Thank you for playing.
	11:22am Carmichael: I know nothing about Bloomberg (I'm from CA). Why do so many people dislike him?
	11:23am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Handy, John and crew!
	11:23am βrian: Just dipped in to WCBN where they're playing "Keep Smiling at Trouble." Heh.
	11:23am tim from champaign (now washington): What's the Nina Simone set occasion? Other than she's awesome, of course.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: @Carmichael: He made us stop smoking in bars!
	11:24am jt: Alexei Education in Democratic Capitalist Switzerland is about $1500 a semester, & Italy is practically free, it has to do with how economy is structured and greed, you need to get out more.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: @tim: NS's bday tomorrow. Yowza, I love this version.
	11:24am John from Florham park: @Brian there is another station besides this one:) @Tim howdy
	11:25am Mike Wolf: underrated how much the drum sound augments the vibe of this song ugh, somehow the White Magic version — which is superb — has become the definitive one for me...
	11:26am βrian: Why, it's where Station Manager Ken got his start!
	11:28am John from Florham park: @Brian only joshing and yes I know where it’s Jen got started
	11:29am ?: Thanks Trouble, great set of Nina tunes...Hail to the Queen!
	11:29am Passaic River Blues: @Carmichael: for one thing, Bloomberg was fundraising and campaigning for GOP governor and senate campaigns as recently as 2016--meaning he helped preserve McConnell's majority, but now he's a Democrat? Also, as many have commented elsewhere, he blamed poor homeowners in Brooklyn and southeast Queens for the foreclosure crisis rather than the scum lenders who preyed on them with misleading predatory loans or the scum titans of finance who repackaged risky loans and transmuted them into allegedly risk-free investments. He ramped up the NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy despite explicitly acknowledging it targeted black and Latinos and resulted in arrests something like less than 1% of the time.
	11:30am prudy: Queen comment from me...
	11:30am Alexei: don`t tell me jt, I`m not only Russian, I`m also Italian citizen. you wouldn`t want to get Italian education even for free. and I got mine in GB as an Italian, yes, it was like 1500 GBP a year back then, but now it is about GBP 6000
	11:31am Ike: @Alexei what’s your point? People aren’t countries. And there’s more than 2 ways to do things, as JT said. The evil fake socialist totalitarianism of the USSR shouldn’t ruin everything and make everyone a right-winger forever.
	11:31am Roberto: Here we go, 46 minutes of My Sweet Lord!
	11:31am prudy: Bloombery helped destroy NYC as we know it with his zoning changes that benefitted the real estate industry and rich people in general..
	11:34am JakeGould: Whatever happens, nobody please take the private healthcare I love so much. Whenever I hear anyone talk about health insurance — whether it be a stubbed toe or open heart surgery — they always talk about how wonderful, great and positive their health insurance experience has been.
	11:35am βrian: The dead don't talk about health insurance, of course.
	11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): I wonder what 70s Nina Simone backed by Gil Scott-Heron's Midnight Band would have sounded like.
	11:37am Handy Haversack: My health insurance insures that if I have a health crisis, I will be beggared only unto seen generations and not until the actual heat death of the universe. So that's something. Thanks, capitalism. Good looking out.
	11:37am Handy Haversack: ^seven. That I did the trick poorly is the worst insult of all.
	11:39am JakeGould: For anyone who wants to know how “great” the U.S. health insurance system is, just look at this Reddit AMA from 2014 or so: “I was mauled by a bear, fought it off, and drove 4 miles down a mountain with my face hanging off. AMA” Then in the AMA itself: “What do you find the hardest to overcome on your path back to recovery?” Her answer? “Blue Cross. Hands down.” A bear literally ripped her face and the health insurance is the worst part of this… Because it lasts forever… www.reddit.com...
	11:40am Alexei: I have no point Ike, it is just funny sometimes to see people discuss obvious things in this mode. the funniest though is Russia`s "influence" on the US elections etc. Imagine: at the times of R.Reagan, would anybody ever even speak aloud that USSR have ifluence on anything in US, even a public toilet in Harlem NY? was that possible at all? medicine was free for all in the USSR too, ha ha.
	11:40am Passaic River Blues: @Tim: oh my god, Nina on the piano, Gil on the Rhodes, and Brian Jackson on a moog!
	11:41am Handy Haversack: I'm about to go to the dr. right now and already preparing to warn him about all the tests he just can't run on my fluids because the insurance co. doesn't consider them part of "wellness" but diagnostic and so will stick me with the bill. Zinc? We'll never know! Gah, sorry, Trouble. This set is so good. But it angries up the blood!
	11:41am JakeGould: @Alexei: That is part of the reason we all feel like our brains are turning upside down. A local bagel (BAGEL!) store near me has owners who thinks its “unfair” that Nazis can’t rally in Germany.
	11:42am βrian: I've never understood the notion that a health insurer can choose not to cover treatment. Why is that legal? I mean, offer insurance or don't offer insurance.
	11:42am Bill W: I've been dealing with a chronic medical problem for almost 8 years, and being on a NY state marketplace plan, the financial picture is not pretty... I lay awake thinking about the exact amounts of bills, checking balance, etc.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: Blue Cross: "What evidence do we have that your face wasn't hanging off BEFORE you went up that mountain?"
	11:44am βrian: Your face is a pre-existing condition!
	11:45am Snoochienucci: alright alright alright can we just stop with the politics.
	11:46am Hubig Pie: I'm here for the tunes
	11:46am βrian: We will. When we're dead.
	11:46am Strandlund: This Nina Simone set is EPIC!!!
	11:47am Snoochienucci: HAPPY BDAY NINA!!!!
	11:47am Alexei: sure, sure, I`m so so sorry.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: We are smiling in our little corner of the Modern World.
	11:49am waters7: Yer killing me!
	11:50am Faye: really enjoying the program Trouble!!! HBD NINA !
	11:50am Bill W: Trouble's remarks on freezing out students from college was political. Nina Simone is political.
	11:51am Rich in Washington: What a wonderful set! Thanks, Trouble.
	11:54am Yes: i missed the nina set?!
	11:54am Phillippe Bastille: Thank you Trouble! I missed most of this last set, looking forward to catching it on the archive!
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Trouble, thanks as always for a great show -- and this set is just fantastic. Needed and needful. We're off to the doctor. Zinc of me fondly, all!
	11:54am Snoochienucci: good luck handy!
	11:56am ?: Happy Birthday to the formidable Nina. Simone. Hope Trouble plays Nina in French- Brel, Ne Me Quitte Pas, and Brassens, Il n'ya pas d'amour Heureux.
	11:56am Handy Haversack: @Yes: Yes. Thanks, Snooch!
	11:56am βrian: Bloomberg could fund all tuition at Rutgers with beer money.
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for listening this morning. the personal is political
	11:59am Phillippe Bastille: In the good news category, that dude who got in that horrible wreck at the end of the Daytona 500 walked out of the hospital on his own power yesterday. Takes a 2 ton racecar to the head and walks away. Amazing
	11:59am jt: ...and remember, the tallest building in any city ...is the insurance company!
	12:00pm JakeGould: Thanks Trouble!
