	3:30pm Michael Shelley: Ka-Peach?
	3:30pm bobsmart567: jack cades - awesome!!
	3:30pm kpx: hola topt and phonics, just kicking back on this rainy sat. going to crack open a cold one later. hey medson, Corey.
	3:31pm medson: Really like this X album.
	3:32pm Handy Haversack: Agreed, medson. Super good.
	3:32pm flashbazbo: Todd. You should have just brazened it out and called it the piano mix. I was info it.
	3:33pm pinto bean: Remember when Billy Zoom wasn’t in X? Me either!
	👻 3:34pm Hoboken Jack: Eagerly awaiting my physical copy of Alphabetland! HP Ken: I'm all about that FORTRAN.
	3:34pm clarke: i remember - there were some good guys to attempt to fill billy's shoes, too!!
	3:34pm Victrola Tom: Happy quarantine holiday weekend all!
	3:35pm Steve Harsh: I might have gone with I Wanna Be Well, but - Alright!!!
	3:35pm clarke: one of the best X shows i EVER saw was with tony gilkyson outside of fenway park on landsdowne street - tony could not play anything wrong that night!!
	3:35pm ?: I recognized the Ramones guitar sound in the X song. Was Billy playing a Mosrite?
	👻 3:36pm Hoboken Jack: This might be better than the Shaun Cassidy version!
	3:36pm Fredericks: I saw X live with Dave Alvin playing guitar.
	3:36pm Andres: Hey Todd and peoples! That Ramones was especially cruel wherever physical distancing guidelines have been loosened.
	3:36pm Micheal: Love that new X!
	👻 3:37pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Fredericks!
	3:37pm clarke: Alvin was great with them too!
	3:37pm Fredericks: Hello, Hobo!
	3:38pm Victrola Tom: Hola Hobo Jack!!
	3:38pm james: I've met exene a couple times, very down to earth and charming. she missed all the windblown trash in NYC that she can make art from.
	3:38pm Gaylord Fields: @Todd: I have no idea where that version of Connection came from!
	3:38pm pinto bean: Well Dave Alvin is honorary member. And that most recent Flesh Eaters was good too
	3:39pm clarke: hey "alternate" mixes are okay - we've heard the 'correct' one enough.
	3:39pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Can't have enough Sweet
	3:39pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Gaylord Fields: Let's find out and put it back!
	3:40pm clarke: this mix was more piano than i ever heard, which is cool. probably nicky H
	3:40pm JohnEBGood: Happy Memorial Day Weekend to my FMU family. Hey these tunes have nice hooks.
	👻 3:40pm Hoboken Jack: Tom!!
	3:41pm Handy Haversack: Sisophonic Cheryl! Greetings from Greenpoint!
	👻 3:41pm Frank In Queens: @Handy: How were them nachos?
	3:42pm clarke: mmmmmm hungry for....naaaachoooos
	3:42pm Steve Harsh: John Doe is the f-in coolest - can't wait!
	3:44pm Handy Haversack: I outdid myself, Frank. I think I peaked early today!
	3:45pm Fredericks: Is Jay singing about M.C. Hammer?
	3:47pm medson: Ann Margrock and Stoney Curtiss
	3:47pm kpx: don't have to deplore me, I be there
	3:47pm suzyhotrod: I was just sitting here eating a popsicle and I heard my name of the radio!!
	3:48pm Gaylord Fields: @medson: "Yeah! Yeah! I'm hip, I'm hip!"

	3:49pm medson: You’re the hippest Gaylord
	3:49pm Christina Low: Awww, he's so good!
	3:49pm David Shortell: Dog Party from Sacramento? I saw them back up Kepi Ghoulie at the Brighton Bar seven years ago.
	3:50pm Gaylord Feldspar: Back at ya, medstone!
	👻 3:50pm Hoboken Jack: I played ZZ Top's live "Thunderbird" on my podcast playhouse this week.
	3:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @David Shortell: I know they are from out West so probably...2 gals?
	3:50pm Victrola Tom: John Doe as the sleazy bartender in Roadhouse! Oscar worthy!
	3:51pm Dungaroos Kipawah: I need to get this McKinley James 45. And more crucially, I need a popsicle.
	3:53pm David Shortell: Yes, Todd.
	3:53pm swk: Well that was pretty badass
	3:53pm McGroovey: @Hoboken Jack oooooh burrrrrn!
	👻 3:54pm Hoboken Jack: I'll go sit in the corner now
	3:54pm Victrola Tom: Whoa! Hoboken Jack chastised! I smell a DJ feud!
	3:54pm Earth Walker: We’re all dogs
	3:54pm james: I like that movie where john doe rides an Indian and a Beastie boy tags along on a triumph.
	3:54pm TomDash: awww...I care Hoboken Jack, wanna hear what I played on my show this week?
	👻 3:54pm Frank In Queens: John Doe in Roadside Prophets!
	3:54pm Fredericks: What podcast is Todd talking about?
	3:54pm Handy Haversack: Burn-o-phonic! Don't worry, Jack. Frank in Queens and I have plans to re-create the meal in the gatefold of Tres Amigos, and you are totally invited to jump in there.
	3:54pm Jett: @HobokenJack, wow what an unwarranted dis from the Toddmonster.
	👻 3:55pm Frank In Queens: @James: Roadside Prophets!
	3:55pm Dungaroos Kipawah: That is a pretty cool movie
	👻 3:55pm Frank In Queens: Love that movie.
	3:55pm JohnEBGood: Push the button Cruella!
	3:55pm David Shortell: Why did the Rezillos change their second consonant back then?
	3:56pm Gaylord Fields: @David Shortell: Short answer is contractural reasons.
	3:56pm Earth Walker: Your music rocks Todd !!!
	3:57pm clarke: long answer is contractual reasons.
	3:57pm Victrola Tom: @Jett: lmao at Toddmonster!
	3:58pm suzyhotrod: I have a song on my playlist tomorrow with a note “sometimes I try to play different tracks from an artist than what Todd plays but he picked the best one so I’m playing it too” ~fin.
	3:58pm clarke: short answer: Z much cooler than V
	3:59pm medson: Billy Zoom rocks this track
	3:59pm Gaylord Fields: @suzyhotrod: If you're gonna steal, steal from the best. Words to live by!
	3:59pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Love this song. You go Suzy, I'll be happy to listen again.
	4:00pm the Hoboken playwright: Very underrated X.
	4:00pm clarke: gaylord stole that from keith richard(s)
	4:01pm Pete in Dallas: Thunderbird was originally by The Nightcaps who weren't credited on Fandango and later sued and lost and the court ruled credit for the song to ZZ Top. RnR rip off.
	4:02pm Gaylord Fields: @clarke: Objection! Incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial! (I've been watching so much Perry Mason that I think I could actually win a court case.)
	4:02pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Pete in Dallas: If it makes you feel better I'm sure The Nightcaps stole it from someone themselves...
	4:02pm Jett: Nick Lowe always said "You're only as good as you rip off." nee "So It Goes" from "Reeling In The Years."
	4:03pm clarke: mr. berger sit down!
	4:03pm kpx: someone said that John Doe was in Roadhouse, and someone else said he was in roadside Prophets. which one was it?
	4:03pm pinto bean: Might be time for another Unheard Music viewing
	4:03pm clarke: and keith stole it, too!
	4:04pm Gaylord Fields: @Jett: Even better is that Nick Lowe noticed that "The Boys Are Back in Town" ripped off "Reelin' in the Years" and decided to rip off both songs. Genius!
	👻 4:04pm Frank In Queens: @kpx Both!
	4:04pm pinto bean: But Sam Elliot was never in X
	4:04pm Pat Sabbath: Listening to these tunes is so great. Thank you very much.
	4:04pm McGroovey: Is The XX twice as good as X? I've never actually heard The XX, but I assume they are not twice as good as X. Not even twice as good as The Ex. Would a band called V be half as good as X? Don't think too hard about that one. Or at all.
	4:04pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @kpx: Definitely "Roadhouse"...not familiar with "Roadhouse Prophets".
	👻 4:05pm Frank In Queens: Roadside Prophets: www.imdb.com...
	4:05pm Alex of Chicago: What a treat. Thanks, Todd.
	4:06pm clarke: come back, Sidney! i want to chastise you!!
	4:07pm Gaylord Fields: @clarke: The cat's in the bag, and the bag's in the river.
	4:08pm clarke: match me, GF!!!
	4:08pm medson: There’s a heaven and a hell and an oh well. Love that line.
	4:08pm clarke: you're a cookie full of arsenic today, Fields
	4:09pm Gaylord Fields: @clarke: You just beat me to that quote.
	4:09pm clarke: fast typer.
	4:10pm kpx: @Topt & Frank iq, in Roadhouse was he the guy who was skimming off the top. and then later on cut Dalton.
	4:11pm Jett: @Gaylord Fields both songs were released around the same time in 1976, Boys Are Back and So It Goes. At least that's how I remember them that year.
	👻 4:12pm Frank In Queens: @kpx, he was the bartender. I think it's the same character you're talking about.
	4:12pm james: @ frank. thank you. mind is swiss cheese.
	👻 4:13pm Frank In Queens: @james: cheers!
	4:13pm clarke: mmm...swiss cheese...
	4:14pm Victrola Tom: @kpx: you are correct
	4:14pm Gaylord Fields: @Jett: Says Nick Lowe, "Yes, there's that little descending chord sequence. Having said that, Phil Lynott had already pinched it for Thin Lizzy's The Boys Are Back In Town, so maybe I wasn't stealing, as such. It was more that I was receiving stolen goods!"
	4:15pm clarke: i don't think 'anger' is in john doe's forte.
	4:17pm full metal monkey: Molotov Cocktail is a drink. Right?
	4:18pm clarke: in new orleans, yes!
	4:18pm kpx: @frank iq, Right, he was also the nephew to the heavy, westlink I think his name was.
	4:19pm Jett: @Gaylord Fields I hear ya my friend!
	4:21pm kpx: scratch that Frank got the answer from victrola Tom. sorry I missed it.
	4:23pm David Shortell: I recently watched the Wayne White documentary "Beauty Is Embarrassing". I was surprised to learn that he's married to cartoonist Mimi Pond (National Lampoon, "Over Easy", "The Customer is Always Wrong").
	4:23pm franz: Cheers guys!! Listening from Italy. Ice cream action goin on
	4:24pm Handy Haversack: Great talk, Todd. So cool.
	👻 4:24pm Frank In Queens: John rules.
	4:24pm clarke: good man, there!!
	4:24pm medson: Great interview. I love that band.
	4:24pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Handy! Hey Franz!
	👻 4:25pm Hoboken Jack: Great interview!! Was very cool that John did a streaming show for NJ's own Outpost in the Burbs recently.
	4:25pm steveo: I remember the 20th Century!
	4:25pm Earth Walker: Such a cool interview two cool cats
	4:25pm Brian D: Great interview as always. John Doe is one of the nicest men in punk rock.
	4:25pm Handy Haversack: Kate and I are working on lyrics for a song thanking you all for WFMUing us through this time. More to come!
	4:25pm clarke: i mean, doe's not going to be eating lentils in queens and watching Buddy Holly Story - but, sounds like he has it made.
	4:25pm Jett: The boom boom man going psychedelic, and the hit single version of Fox
	4:25pm Gaylord Fields: @Jett: Glad to virtually know ya!
	4:26pm Allen Hill: Leave it to Freddy Boom Boom Cannon to make this tune not only listenable but ROCKIN!!!
	4:27pm clarke: city in the sun
	4:27pm Jett: At some point we have to meet Mr. Fields, we seem to be of similar mind set.
	👻 4:28pm MFlynn: Great interview Todd.
	👻 4:28pm Micheal: Great interview - thanks, Todd! John has also been doing some really nice performances on his Insta. Helps during this QT
	4:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Allen Hill: OLDIES!
	4:28pm Earth Walker: What ever happened to all our punk rock clubs in Manhattan Brooklyn
	4:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Mike and Michael!
	4:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Jett: I'll be certain to dismiss my bodyguards so I can say hi to you.
	4:30pm clarke: i wouldn't go that far
	4:31pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Loved that interview babe!
	4:31pm clarke: keep one bodyguard - just in case
	👻 4:31pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Allen Hill! Hello Gaylord! Hello MFlynn! Hello Suzy, hello Suzy
	4:31pm upstairs dave: Owned this on vinyl, still tears it up.....
	4:32pm David in London: Earth Walker, I’m the modern city centre is not conducive to punk rock clubs unfortunately. It’s the same here, with the sole exception of The 100 Club which hangs on by its fingernails.
	4:32pm james: I love in when jack lemmon was tearing apart the greenhouse to find the stashed bottle. inzsne!
	👻 4:32pm MFlynn: Hello Hoboken!!!!!
	👻 4:32pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Cheryl!
	4:32pm Victrola Tom: @Hoboken Jack: I think you’ve picked up a stutter during quarantine.
	👻 4:33pm Hoboken Jack: B-b-b-b-baby you ain't seen nuthin yet
	4:33pm clarke: lee remick. she left jack high and dry - but not so high.
	4:34pm james: that movie also got me into brandy Alexanders. yum!
	4:34pm vertual: Maybe it's because it's on vinyl.. but this copy of Wine and Roses SOUNDS so good. Better than my cd by far.
	4:36pm sufferwords: DENNIS DUCK!!!!!
	4:36pm kpx: John Doe definitely an nice guy, a patient guy. not the kind of guy who would chastise someone for less than of minutiae mistake. and if he did, he would be man enough to apologize.
	4:39pm JohnEBGood: Wow, saw that at rehab in Kissimmee, Fl. So raw and true : )
	4:39pm efd: Based on that intro I was expecting “All The Kids On The Street,” which would also go out to none of us at the moment.
	4:39pm Bri: This song gives off a mixture of Loaded era Velvet underground and Stocky fingers era Rolling Stones, love it!
	4:39pm swk: I heard he could fell three trees with one swing of his axe!
	4:40pm clarke: Stocky Fingers - that was by Mountain right?
	4:40pm Bri: Lol I meant sticky
	4:41pm David Shortell: Watching "The Days of Wine and Roses", I was startled by the scene with Jack Lemmon and Jack Klugman. The movie Felix Unger meets the television Oscar Madison! (Actually, Klugman was Walter Matthau's understudy in the Broadway production, eventually replacing him at the end of 1965.)
	4:42pm clarke: a heart-rendering scene, as well!
	4:43pm Earth Walker: I found a 45 1977 Wayne county and the electric chairs Fuck off Is it worth money ?
	4:43pm Sylvia's Mother: The Last!
	4:44pm james: great or greatest version of hey Joe?
	4:45pm clarke: original is usually the best version (except a few exceptions - not in the Hey Joe case, tho)
	4:45pm Jett: I know this will cause lots of controversy, but I prefer The Leaves version of "Hey Joe" over all the others.
	4:45pm clarke: The Leaves take the prize for me.
	4:46pm David in London: Earth Walker, I love that single. And it has the truly great lyrical couplet: “you think that you’re hot shit, I heard/but you ain’t nothing but a cold turd”. Pure County genius.
	4:47pm Earth Walker: David I hear ya
	4:48pm dawneden: Great to hear you memorialize P.F. Sloan, Todd. Listening to your show in Washington, DC, and enjoying it immensely. All my best to you!
	4:49pm Jett: P.F. Sloan was great. Had some nice lps and singles also, in his own right. Find myself playing his version of "Melody For You," also the Grass Roots version.
	4:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Dawn! Long time...hope you are well!
	4:49pm Dennis Diken: Long live P.F. Sloan!
	4:50pm clarke: phil&steve 4ever!!
	4:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Dennis Diken: I learned to never mention Jerry Cargman around him again.
	4:50pm Dungaroos Kipawah: You introduced me to PFS after that long and amazing interview at the Stomp-ference, what a character and talent. And raconteur
	4:50pm kpx: @SylviasMother, is Sylvia still too busy to come to the phone after all these decades.
	4:50pm Jett: Hello Dawn Eden, long time admirer, you have great taste!
	4:51pm franz: @todd was curious to know your opinion on the fact that the new boxset for END OF THE CENTURY will feature the album remixed by Rick Rubin
	4:52pm clarke: killer percussion!!
	4:52pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @franz: I'll let you know if/when I hear it!
	4:54pm clarke: sounds like all done with one mic!
	4:55pm Jett: Gosdin Brothers were great. I love Vern Gosdin's solo stuff as well.
	4:58pm clarke: again proving my paradigm: the original version is most ALWAYS the best one.
	5:01pm Motobro: Yo Boss Groover, good afternoon to all.
	5:03pm clarke: better than Lady Of The Waffle House?!? i think not!!
	5:03pm David in London: Yo Motobro. How are ya?
	5:03pm clarke: but...close!!
	5:05pm Victrola Tom: I’ve only gotten my heart broken in CVS, never Walgreens.
	5:05pm clarke: speaking of maxwell's - did you ever listen to that Mat's show, todd???
	5:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Victrola Tom: There's still time...
	5:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Clarke: Are you talking about the album? Yes, that is fantastic!
	5:07pm clarke: a Tim era set - f'in amazing!!
	5:07pm clarke: it puts to death the myth that bob was completely dysfunctional - i'll say that!!
	5:08pm clarke: bob was SO very on at that show!! it's almost like they said "okay, this is your last show, let's try to do a good one"
	👻 5:09pm Frank In Queens: Impatiently waiting for the new Resonars EP to arrive on my doorstep....
	5:09pm clarke: the smokers might get to it first frank!!
	👻 5:11pm Frank In Queens: They don't have the lung capacity to do anything to the package. Now, leafblowers....
	5:11pm clarke: they wouldn't know what to do with it!!
	5:12pm james: Walgreen's was strange in a voice not ruby wright
	5:15pm Alex of Chicago: Liking this SadGirl track.
	👻 5:16pm Hoboken Jack: Ah, one of my all-time favorites
	5:17pm swk: “Nice dissolve” - Barf
	5:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Hoboken Jack: Did you play it on your podcast?
	5:17pm kpx: I heard this song in a movie. can't recall which one.
	5:18pm clarke: chastise chastise
	5:18pm Fuzzy: I played it on mine.
	5:19pm JakeGould: Hey Todd! Nice Tom Waits song.
	5:19pm Handy Haversack: It's time. We cut each other's hair and are still friends!
	5:19pm JakeGould: @kpx: Was in “One from the Heart” and “Night on Earth.”
	5:19pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Todd I did enjoy Tom Waits thanks perfect timing
	5:21pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Eric from Lake Hiawatha: You are like me, you make puns w/o even trying. It's a blessing and a curse.
	👻 5:21pm Hoboken Jack: Maybe next week, if Suzy doesn't play it
	5:23pm Victrola Tom: I feel DJ tension in the air!
	5:23pm Victrola Tom: Check that, I just passed gas.
	5:23pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @kpx: "Time" was on "Peaky Blinders"
	5:23pm clarke: hard NO!!
	5:25pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, Todd! Been working around the house and just sat down and saw what I missed. Can't blast tunes in my current living situation. Bummer! Thanks. Hello everyone!
	5:25pm kpx: @JG, that's right, one from the heart. I'm surprised to hear from you. how have you been.
	5:27pm clarke: Too Much Sleep (little know boston band)
	👻 5:28pm Frank In Queens: Do that and I'll turn the leaf blowers on ya!
	5:28pm dawneden: @Todd @Jett Just saw your kind comments--thank you! Yes, all is well with me and I still love all this terrific music on the show today.
	5:28pm clarke: *known
	5:28pm David in London: Hey Mr Pumpy.
	5:28pm JakeGould: Last week I slept 8 hours each night and then 2-3 hours during the day. Man, do I feel restlessly rested.
	5:28pm Matt Clarke: Howdy Todd! Listening to you in the supermarket
	5:29pm JakeGould: @MattClarke: Socially distanced in line? Or are people wearing masks around their necks and just not caring.
	5:30pm kpx: @Dungaroos, I haven't seen it. I'll have to check it out sometime.
	5:31pm Mr. Pumpy: David! How ya been, bruv?
	5:31pm Matt Clarke: Everyone is masked up! Thanks Todd!
	5:31pm jake6573: TOPT show is always great.
	5:31pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Hey Matt! Hang in there buddy!
	5:31pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mr. P, David. I am shorn!
	5:32pm Jett: @DawnEden I'm also glad you found your spirituality, congrats. Stay well!
	5:33pm McGroovey: Smile Now, Cry Later : this sounds exactly like something particular, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Gaylord will.
	5:34pm David in London: Mr P, I’m good thanks fam. Handy. It’s a whole new you!
	5:34pm clarke: a conglomeration of girl group songs
	5:34pm clarke: holsapple rules!!
	5:35pm Jett: Nice version of Big Brown Eyes. Loved the Shacks track. @Todd
	5:36pm Gaylord Fields: @McGroovey: Like Todd says, it sounds like the best bits of several songs. Can't put my finger on just one influence, just great Tex-Mex R&B!
	5:36pm Jett: Holsapple is a good friend, but haven't seen the guy in a lot of years.

	3:35pm ?: I recognized the Ramones guitar sound in the X song. Was Billy playing a Mosrite?
	👻 3:36pm Hoboken Jack: This might be better than the Shaun Cassidy version!
	3:36pm Fredericks: I saw X live with Dave Alvin playing guitar.
	3:36pm Andres: Hey Todd and peoples! That Ramones was especially cruel wherever physical distancing guidelines have been loosened.
	3:36pm Micheal: Love that new X!

	👻 3:50pm Hoboken Jack: I played ZZ Top's live "Thunderbird" on my podcast playhouse this week.
	3:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @David Shortell: I know they are from out West so probably...2 gals?
	3:50pm Victrola Tom: John Doe as the sleazy bartender in Roadhouse! Oscar worthy!
	3:51pm Dungaroos Kipawah: I need to get this McKinley James 45. And more crucially, I need a popsicle.
	3:53pm David Shortell: Yes, Todd.
	3:53pm swk: Well that was pretty badass
	3:53pm McGroovey: @Hoboken Jack oooooh burrrrrn!
	👻 3:54pm Hoboken Jack: I'll go sit in the corner now

	3:54pm TomDash: awww...I care Hoboken Jack, wanna hear what I played on my show this week?
	👻 3:54pm Frank In Queens: John Doe in Roadside Prophets!
	3:54pm Fredericks: What podcast is Todd talking about?
	3:54pm Handy Haversack: Burn-o-phonic! Don't worry, Jack. Frank in Queens and I have plans to re-create the meal in the gatefold of Tres Amigos, and you are totally invited to jump in there.
	3:54pm Jett: @HobokenJack, wow what an unwarranted dis from the Toddmonster.
	👻 3:55pm Frank In Queens: @James: Roadside Prophets!
	3:55pm Dungaroos Kipawah: That is a pretty cool movie
	👻 3:55pm Frank In Queens: Love that movie.
	3:55pm JohnEBGood: Push the button Cruella!
	3:55pm David Shortell: Why did the Rezillos change their second consonant back then?
	3:56pm Gaylord Fields: @David Shortell: Short answer is contractural reasons.
	3:56pm Earth Walker: Your music rocks Todd !!!
	3:57pm clarke: long answer is contractual reasons.
	3:57pm Victrola Tom: @Jett: lmao at Toddmonster!
	3:58pm suzyhotrod: I have a song on my playlist tomorrow with a note “sometimes I try to play different tracks from an artist than what Todd plays but he picked the best one so I’m playing it too” ~fin.
	3:58pm clarke: short answer: Z much cooler than V
	3:59pm medson: Billy Zoom rocks this track
	3:59pm Gaylord Fields: @suzyhotrod: If you're gonna steal, steal from the best. Words to live by!
	3:59pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Love this song. You go Suzy, I'll be happy to listen again.
	4:00pm the Hoboken playwright: Very underrated X.
	4:00pm clarke: gaylord stole that from keith richard(s)
	4:01pm Pete in Dallas: Thunderbird was originally by The Nightcaps who weren't credited on Fandango and later sued and lost and the court ruled credit for the song to ZZ Top. RnR rip off.
	4:02pm Gaylord Fields: @clarke: Objection! Incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial! (I've been watching so much Perry Mason that I think I could actually win a court case.)
	4:02pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Pete in Dallas: If it makes you feel better I'm sure The Nightcaps stole it from someone themselves...
	4:02pm Jett: Nick Lowe always said "You're only as good as you rip off." nee "So It Goes" from "Reeling In The Years."
	4:03pm clarke: mr. berger sit down!
	4:03pm kpx: someone said that John Doe was in Roadhouse, and someone else said he was in roadside Prophets. which one was it?
	4:03pm pinto bean: Might be time for another Unheard Music viewing
	4:03pm clarke: and keith stole it, too!
	4:04pm Gaylord Fields: @Jett: Even better is that Nick Lowe noticed that "The Boys Are Back in Town" ripped off "Reelin' in the Years" and decided to rip off both songs. Genius!
	👻 4:04pm Frank In Queens: @kpx Both!
	4:04pm pinto bean: But Sam Elliot was never in X
	4:04pm Pat Sabbath: Listening to these tunes is so great. Thank you very much.
	4:04pm McGroovey: Is The XX twice as good as X? I've never actually heard The XX, but I assume they are not twice as good as X. Not even twice as good as The Ex. Would a band called V be half as good as X? Don't think too hard about that one. Or at all.
	4:04pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @kpx: Definitely "Roadhouse"...not familiar with "Roadhouse Prophets".
	👻 4:05pm Frank In Queens: Roadside Prophets: www.imdb.com...
	4:05pm Alex of Chicago: What a treat. Thanks, Todd.
	4:06pm clarke: come back, Sidney! i want to chastise you!!
	4:07pm Gaylord Fields: @clarke: The cat's in the bag, and the bag's in the river.
	4:08pm clarke: match me, GF!!!

	4:13pm clarke: mmm...swiss cheese...
	4:14pm Victrola Tom: @kpx: you are correct
	4:14pm Gaylord Fields: @Jett: Says Nick Lowe, "Yes, there's that little descending chord sequence. Having said that, Phil Lynott had already pinched it for Thin Lizzy's The Boys Are Back In Town, so maybe I wasn't stealing, as such. It was more that I was receiving stolen goods!"
	4:15pm clarke: i don't think 'anger' is in john doe's forte.
	4:17pm full metal monkey: Molotov Cocktail is a drink. Right?
	4:18pm clarke: in new orleans, yes!

	4:23pm franz: Cheers guys!! Listening from Italy. Ice cream action goin on
	4:24pm Handy Haversack: Great talk, Todd. So cool.

	4:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Allen Hill: OLDIES!
	4:28pm Earth Walker: What ever happened to all our punk rock clubs in Manhattan Brooklyn
	4:28pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Mike and Michael!
	4:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Jett: I'll be certain to dismiss my bodyguards so I can say hi to you.
	4:30pm clarke: i wouldn't go that far
	4:31pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Loved that interview babe!
	4:31pm clarke: keep one bodyguard - just in case
	👻 4:31pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Allen Hill! Hello Gaylord! Hello MFlynn! Hello Suzy, hello Suzy
	4:31pm upstairs dave: Owned this on vinyl, still tears it up.....
	4:32pm David in London: Earth Walker, I’m the modern city centre is not conducive to punk rock clubs unfortunately. It’s the same here, with the sole exception of The 100 Club which hangs on by its fingernails.
	4:32pm james: I love in when jack lemmon was tearing apart the greenhouse to find the stashed bottle. inzsne!
	👻 4:32pm MFlynn: Hello Hoboken!!!!!
	👻 4:32pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Cheryl!
	4:32pm Victrola Tom: @Hoboken Jack: I think you’ve picked up a stutter during quarantine.
	👻 4:33pm Hoboken Jack: B-b-b-b-baby you ain't seen nuthin yet
	4:33pm clarke: lee remick. she left jack high and dry - but not so high.
	4:34pm james: that movie also got me into brandy Alexanders. yum!
	4:34pm vertual: Maybe it's because it's on vinyl.. but this copy of Wine and Roses SOUNDS so good. Better than my cd by far.
	4:36pm sufferwords: DENNIS DUCK!!!!!
	4:36pm kpx: John Doe definitely an nice guy, a patient guy. not the kind of guy who would chastise someone for less than of minutiae mistake. and if he did, he would be man enough to apologize.
	4:39pm JohnEBGood: Wow, saw that at rehab in Kissimmee, Fl. So raw and true : )
	4:39pm efd: Based on that intro I was expecting “All The Kids On The Street,” which would also go out to none of us at the moment.
	4:39pm Bri: This song gives off a mixture of Loaded era Velvet underground and Stocky fingers era Rolling Stones, love it!
	4:39pm swk: I heard he could fell three trees with one swing of his axe!
	4:40pm clarke: Stocky Fingers - that was by Mountain right?
	4:40pm Bri: Lol I meant sticky
	4:41pm David Shortell: Watching "The Days of Wine and Roses", I was startled by the scene with Jack Lemmon and Jack Klugman. The movie Felix Unger meets the television Oscar Madison! (Actually, Klugman was Walter Matthau's understudy in the Broadway production, eventually replacing him at the end of 1965.)
	4:42pm clarke: a heart-rendering scene, as well!
	4:43pm Earth Walker: I found a 45 1977 Wayne county and the electric chairs Fuck off Is it worth money ?
	4:43pm Sylvia's Mother: The Last!
	4:44pm james: great or greatest version of hey Joe?
	4:45pm clarke: original is usually the best version (except a few exceptions - not in the Hey Joe case, tho)
	4:45pm Jett: I know this will cause lots of controversy, but I prefer The Leaves version of "Hey Joe" over all the others.
	4:45pm clarke: The Leaves take the prize for me.
	4:46pm David in London: Earth Walker, I love that single. And it has the truly great lyrical couplet: “you think that you’re hot shit, I heard/but you ain’t nothing but a cold turd”. Pure County genius.
	4:47pm Earth Walker: David I hear ya
	4:48pm dawneden: Great to hear you memorialize P.F. Sloan, Todd. Listening to your show in Washington, DC, and enjoying it immensely. All my best to you!
	4:49pm Jett: P.F. Sloan was great. Had some nice lps and singles also, in his own right. Find myself playing his version of "Melody For You," also the Grass Roots version.
	4:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Dawn! Long time...hope you are well!
	4:49pm Dennis Diken: Long live P.F. Sloan!
	4:50pm clarke: phil&steve 4ever!!
	4:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Dennis Diken: I learned to never mention Jerry Cargman around him again.
	4:50pm Dungaroos Kipawah: You introduced me to PFS after that long and amazing interview at the Stomp-ference, what a character and talent. And raconteur

	4:51pm franz: @todd was curious to know your opinion on the fact that the new boxset for END OF THE CENTURY will feature the album remixed by Rick Rubin
	4:52pm clarke: killer percussion!!
	4:52pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @franz: I'll let you know if/when I hear it!
	4:54pm clarke: sounds like all done with one mic!
	4:55pm Jett: Gosdin Brothers were great. I love Vern Gosdin's solo stuff as well.
	4:58pm clarke: again proving my paradigm: the original version is most ALWAYS the best one.
	5:01pm Motobro: Yo Boss Groover, good afternoon to all.
	5:03pm clarke: better than Lady Of The Waffle House?!? i think not!!
	5:03pm David in London: Yo Motobro. How are ya?
	5:03pm clarke: but...close!!
	5:05pm Victrola Tom: I’ve only gotten my heart broken in CVS, never Walgreens.
	5:05pm clarke: speaking of maxwell's - did you ever listen to that Mat's show, todd???
	5:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Victrola Tom: There's still time...
	5:06pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Clarke: Are you talking about the album? Yes, that is fantastic!
	5:07pm clarke: a Tim era set - f'in amazing!!
	5:07pm clarke: it puts to death the myth that bob was completely dysfunctional - i'll say that!!
	5:08pm clarke: bob was SO very on at that show!! it's almost like they said "okay, this is your last show, let's try to do a good one"
	👻 5:09pm Frank In Queens: Impatiently waiting for the new Resonars EP to arrive on my doorstep....
	5:09pm clarke: the smokers might get to it first frank!!
	👻 5:11pm Frank In Queens: They don't have the lung capacity to do anything to the package. Now, leafblowers....
	5:11pm clarke: they wouldn't know what to do with it!!
	5:12pm james: Walgreen's was strange in a voice not ruby wright

	5:18pm Fuzzy: I played it on mine.
	5:19pm JakeGould: Hey Todd! Nice Tom Waits song.
	5:19pm Handy Haversack: It's time. We cut each other's hair and are still friends!
	5:19pm JakeGould: @kpx: Was in “One from the Heart” and “Night on Earth.”
	5:19pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Todd I did enjoy Tom Waits thanks perfect timing
	5:21pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Eric from Lake Hiawatha: You are like me, you make puns w/o even trying. It's a blessing and a curse.
	👻 5:21pm Hoboken Jack: Maybe next week, if Suzy doesn't play it
	5:23pm Victrola Tom: I feel DJ tension in the air!
	5:23pm Victrola Tom: Check that, I just passed gas.

	5:23pm clarke: hard NO!!

	5:28pm Matt Clarke: Howdy Todd! Listening to you in the supermarket
	5:29pm JakeGould: @MattClarke: Socially distanced in line? Or are people wearing masks around their necks and just not caring.
	5:30pm kpx: @Dungaroos, I haven't seen it. I'll have to check it out sometime.
	5:31pm Mr. Pumpy: David! How ya been, bruv?
	5:31pm Matt Clarke: Everyone is masked up! Thanks Todd!

	5:36pm David in London: Muswell Hill in the house!

	5:38pm marybabyshakes: love josephine!!
	5:39pm Jett: Come to think of it, last time I saw Peter Holsapple, he still had hair.
	5:39pm McGroovey: Oh. Google tells me "Smile Now, Cry Later" is a cover of a Sunny & The Sunsets song. And maybe someone else has played it on WFMU in the past week? My brain bells are ringing.
