Marcus Haupt
3:31:00 PM
Hello Tobias! This band is from that part of England without the letter "r"
lex
3:31:04 PM
LOVE this song! first time hearing it
John Tobias (host)
3:32:08 PM
absolutely had that accent, great song for sure
TAndy: Monthly Doner🥙
3:38:59 PM
This is crazy
John Tobias (host)
3:41:26 PM
I know, right
G Jax
4:27:41 PM
Just poppin in to say damn that Danny Ayala song was awesome. And this one
G Jax
4:28:09 PM
Is proof there is no bad version of a John Denver song
John Tobias (host)
4:28:22 PM
Agreed, thanks, that's why I'm here. Thanks for checking in.
G Jax
4:29:31 PM
Can't look it up now but did the Starland Vical dude write this? I know he wrote one of John Denver's hits
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:29:38 PM
Howdy John and everyone. Quite the thing to wake up from a nap, stream WPRB, and hear this take on John Denver
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:30:25 PM
@G Jax, ""Take Me Home, Country Roads", also known simply as "Country Roads", is a song written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert, and John Denver." From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Me_Home%2C_Country_Roads
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:31:30 PM
@G Jax, "Inspiration for the title line had come while Taffy Nivert and Bill Danoff, who were married, were driving along Clopper Road in Montgomery County, Maryland, to a gathering of Nivert's family in Gaithersburg,"
John Tobias (host)
4:33:48 PM
Thus is like my day job when a student knows more about WWII than I do. I appreciate all comments that enhance my presentation.
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:34:07 PM
Clopper Road isn't so West Virginia-y now, that
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:34:13 PM
*that's for sure
John Tobias (host)
4:34:34 PM
thus equals this
G Jax
4:34:52 PM
Confirmation. Thanks Rob. I knew he was involved. And I'm not afraid to admit I like 'Afternoon Delight'. There I said it. Haha
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:37:50 PM
"Afternoon Delight" was and is amusing to me, though my Radiohead-loving wife doesn't like it
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:40:05 PM
I was a big John Denver fan way back in the day, though I am not so much any more. Still, I certainly am happy to hear his songs on WPRB!
Marcus Haupt
4:40:18 PM
Afternoon Delight got a new audience after it's "Anchorman" rendition
John Tobias (host)
4:41:02 PM
it played a big role in P.C.U., too.
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:43:46 PM
And the Circle Jerks famously covered a line or two in their Golden Shower Of Hits
G Jax
4:44:17 PM
I'm more of a John Denver fan now than when he was happening. I was a young teenager and coolness was a factor. Stopped trying to be any kind of cool looooooooong ago
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:44:53 PM
What is P.C.U.?
John Tobias (host)
4:44:58 PM
less gate keeping the older we get
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:45:13 PM
@John, you are right about that
G Jax
4:46:47 PM
I yelled at the radio the Kinks
Marcus Haupt
4:46:52 PM
P.C.U. is a 1994 movie
Marcus Haupt
4:47:14 PM
PCU = Politically Correct University
John Tobias (host)
4:48:05 PM
yes, mentioned on air
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:48:51 PM
Thanks John and Marcus
John Tobias (host)
4:51:25 PM
sure thing
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:52:26 PM
Wrt to band t-shirts at shows of that band, in the early 80s I saw the Ramones at Ritchie Coliseum in College Park Maryland, and I had NEVER seen so many tees of the headliner band before. Certainly not at the Capital Centre in Landover MD (R.I.P.) which was a much much bigger venue
John Tobias (host)
4:56:13 PM
it's everywhere now
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:57:08 PM
It is!
John Tobias (host)
4:57:13 PM
this is like unforced errors in a sport
John Tobias (host)
4:57:34 PM
my dj skillz I mean
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:57:56 PM
@John, I just pledged; the total amount (includes the process fee) is $45 for 45 rpm for the spirit of your show
John Tobias (host)
4:58:28 PM
super clever and super generous, thanks
Rob from Maryland 🦀
4:58:32 PM
John, you are doing a heck of a lot better than I ever could
John Tobias (host)
5:00:03 PM
human error plays a part, thanks
jimbooooo
5:28:54 PM
Ooooooh optic sink 💥💥💥
John Tobias (host)
5:29:12 PM
I know, right
lex
5:34:10 PM
I saw Scarlet Rae open for the band Cardinals in NYC earlier this year-- excellent performer!
John Tobias (host)
5:34:40 PM
nice, I need to get out more
Ears
5:35:23 PM
Hi lex. That's good to know! I was listening and wondering how they sound live
John Tobias (host)
5:45:17 PM
nice, another love song today
Marcus Haupt
5:46:56 PM
Great show John!
John Tobias (host)
5:48:05 PM
Thanks Marcus
Rob from Maryland 🦀
