That's the plan!
Zach 5:07:24 PM
In my head Mon Mothma is sending out a galactic broadcast trying to raise funds for the Community Supported Independent Rebel Alliance
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:08:10 PM
She's too busy twirling to Niamos. Give her all the time she needs!
Zach 5:09:06 PM
I wouldn’t want to be part of a rebellions whose leaders don’t understand the importance of twirling.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:09:33 PM
Very much same.
DJ Tenderloin 5:10:31 PM
Pew! Pew! Greetings Jon Solomon! Greetings Chatters! Happy SWday. I just had the hardest time signing into the chat - kept getting a weird error message, which I sent to you Jon via email. Disregard. Happy to be here.
Pengy 5:10:59 PM
I've got a *good* feeling about this....
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:12:39 PM
Someone else mentioned they were having similar issues, DJ Tenderloin. You're in good company. That said, sorry about that!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:12:51 PM
Pengy, I feel like I could take on the whole Empire all by myself.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:17:08 PM
Hope you're all enjoying a lovely Monday in the Delaware Valley.
Maggie Schreiter 5:18:45 PM
wishing i were drinking a weird cold beverage in galaxy's edge
DJ Tenderloin 5:19:25 PM
I'm in Baltimore! Tis' lovely here though today.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:19:37 PM
I'm happy my Porg Mug survives to this day.
TAndy 5:19:49 PM
It's a pretty good Monday aside from being a bit under the weather. The radio has definitely helped keep my mood up though. That and some spicy pizza...
Maggie Schreiter 5:19:56 PM
i have a life day mug. i did not use it this morning, though.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:20:11 PM
Hope you're on the mend TAndy.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:20:25 PM
Lots of people down for the count this week, I've found.

"The Revolution starts now" was on my pre-run playlist a while ago
Amy Lee 5:29:39 PM
Was just listening to this album
DJ Tenderloin 5:31:05 PM
I met my wife at a Steve Earle show.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:31:11 PM
Randy! Amy! Dan! DJ Tenderloin! TAndy! Pengy! Maggie! Zach! Hello!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:31:23 PM
Wow! Most people just buy a t-shirt.
DJ Tenderloin 5:32:18 PM
Rim Shot Jon! nice.
Dan Wade {2} 5:32:42 PM
I was just made by the Presbyterian Church
DJ Tenderloin 5:33:14 PM
It was actually at a rally against the war - now was it Bush 1 or Bush 2 - down in DC and Steve Earle was playing
TAndy 5:33:38 PM
The sound design on this is crazy
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:33:39 PM
That's incredible.
G Jax 5:33:58 PM
Steve Earle, I feel all right tour. At the TLA probably the best show I've ever seen in my life. Fantastic. Seen him a bunch of times but I gotta say keep on an electric guitar out of his hands. My opinion anyway. On acoustic nobody better.
Maggie Schreiter 5:34:11 PM
dj that rules.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:34:12 PM
This was a total accidental discovery when prepping for the playlist. The title popped up as recommended and I was into it when I pressed play...
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:34:32 PM
G Jax coming in strong!
G Jax 5:35:41 PM
Ha. I just love that you're playing Steve Earle cool to hear.
DJ Tenderloin 5:35:49 PM
I was, of course, against the war, but I was REALLY against the war when I found out Steve Earle was playing for free! kidding. well, half kidding.
DJ Tenderloin 5:36:46 PM
this is seriously crazy. reminds me a little of escape from noise negativland
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:37:30 PM
Yeah, it is much better than simply samples-n-beatz.
DJ Tenderloin 5:37:55 PM
I would imagine, Jon Solomon, you must've met your better half at a show, no?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:38:57 PM
Nope! Super Bowl party!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:39:09 PM
Hosted by music-related people, though...
G Jax 5:41:36 PM
Not anyone's asking me. But I'm at my better half at a show almost 20 years ago to the day. At whiskey Dix if anyone remembers that joint
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:42:11 PM
Who was playing??
DJ Tenderloin 5:43:03 PM
A super bowl party! Whiskey Dix! All fine places to find true love. Anyone else got a place you met a special someone?
G Jax 5:43:37 PM
It was a benefit for Tom Gillam. My wife was working with the merch tablesJust local Philly bands. He's now DJ in Texas.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:44:17 PM
DJ Tenderloin, this is a Quality Chat Topic if I ever saw one.
Mike Tropiano 5:44:36 PM
Dang, this sounds like Dream Theater
DJ Tenderloin 5:44:43 PM
btw Jon I'll spare you the littany of football related jokes going through my brain -
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:45:06 PM
I have been looking for Shredisode VI for a few years. Have IV in full and V in demo form. This seems to be the most complete rendition I've tracked down.
DJ Tenderloin 5:45:22 PM
Jon - it is a good topic, yeah? where did you meet that special someone? tatooine?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:47:06 PM
Boonta Eve Classic party.
DJ Tenderloin 5:48:27 PM
You want it to be somewhere decent I guess if you end up having kids so "...and that's how I met your mother" doesn't sound horrible.
DebbieWebby 5:49:20 PM
🤘
DJ Tenderloin 5:49:59 PM
So Jon - the big question - who played in the superbowl? what we'll refer to as the Solomon Super Bowl of Love
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:50:19 PM
Yo Debbie!
Pengy 5:51:13 PM
"Everything is as i have forseen" goes so hard as a metal line
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:51:13 PM
This was the year your Ravens triumphed over the Giants quite decisively. If I remember correctly she went to Dunkin' Donuts mid-game and missed like three touchdowns in a very short period of time.
DebbieWebby 5:51:16 PM
Happy May 4th, Jon!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:51:58 PM
My kid would be the first to tell you May 25th is the REAL Star Wars day but that's not as fun a date to say...
DJ Tenderloin 5:52:04 PM
YES! GO RAVENS! Jon - I love this very much.
DJ Tenderloin 5:52:42 PM
The Ravens brought you together. Caw! Caw! it's fantastic.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:53:12 PM
"Ravens cornerback Duane Starks intercepted a pass intended for wide receiver Amani Toomer and returned it 49 yards for a touchdown, setting off a chain of events never seen before in Super Bowl history: three touchdowns on three consecutive plays in 36 seconds. On the ensuing kickoff, Dixon returned the ball 97 yards for the Giants' only score of the game to cut their deficit to 17–7. But Jermaine Lewis returned the next kickoff 84 yards for a touchdown of his ow
DJ Tenderloin 5:54:03 PM
YES! YES! YES! YES! GO RAVENS GO RAVENS
DebbieWebby 5:55:43 PM
Ah!! I just googled it. Now I finally know the truth. I'll be back on the 25th for more Star Wars metal then.. ha jk!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:55:44 PM
I didn't remember it as three TDs in three plays. What a time to duck across the street!
Maggie Schreiter 5:55:45 PM
wait was that the 2001 super bowl? i was in the dorms at MICA in baltimore at the time and that was an Experience
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:56:14 PM
Yep, 2001. Aerosmith's sensational halftime show too.
Maggie Schreiter 5:56:40 PM
may 25th is also discworld lilac day. and towel day. adding star wars is just nerd overload
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:57:22 PM
Discworld is something I only know as a concept.
DJ Tenderloin 5:57:53 PM
Maggie Schreiter - I had many friends / housemates who went to MICA, and then taught at MICA. Peter Quinn? Gerald Ross - he ran the gallery for a long time.
DebbieWebby 5:58:15 PM
I just googled towel day. I was thinking something completely different ha!
Maggie Schreiter 5:58:36 PM
dj - i was only there for about a semester and a half before i got super sick and had to withdraw, and i never went back. alas.
Maggie Schreiter 6:00:05 PM
https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fvot74ad91oua1.jpg
DJ Tenderloin 6:00:18 PM
Maggie Schreiter - oh sorry to hear that. I certainly spent a few hours at the Mount Royal Tavern which was essentially right there in the middle of campus.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:02:15 PM
Wow, another piece of Maggie lore learned tonight.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:03:04 PM
I am a fan of the comedian / podcaster Alice Fraser and she talks frequently about Discworld on her sci fi program Realms Unknown.
Maggie Schreiter 6:04:01 PM
ahhhhhh. there are 41 novels in the series. it's big. but if you like, say, british humor and wordplay and learning about humanity.. yeah.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:04:18 PM
I like upwards of two of those things.
Maggie Schreiter 6:04:53 PM
i extensively quoted one in the eulogy i wrote for my mom! (hogfather, which is set around the disc equivalent of christmas)
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:05:10 PM
Oh right!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:05:20 PM
I did not connect those lines until now.
DJ Tenderloin 6:06:07 PM
25 hour Hogfather radio marathon?
Maggie Schreiter 6:06:42 PM
there's a two part tv movie! it's like three hours long!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:06:50 PM
Any good?
Maggie Schreiter 6:07:14 PM
there IS actually an entire steeleye span record inspired by a different disc book, wintersmith
Maggie Schreiter 6:07:49 PM
the hogfather movie is pretty good, i watch it every year. it stars lady mary from downton abbey!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:15:51 PM
DVD at the library you think?
Maggie Schreiter 6:17:14 PM
they might have it. i have a copy. looks like it might be on pluto and plex
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:17:27 PM
Noted! Perhaps when I get back from My Travels.
Amy Lee 6:20:41 PM
On topic of meeting spouse. Met at a bar morning of St Pats parade day in AC.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:21:13 PM
Aces!
Mary Jones 6:21:34 PM
I can’t figure out if some of these lyrics are in English or if I’m doing that thing where your brain tries to make it English.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:22:03 PM
No, you're not crazy (because of this). First time I found a version with some lyrics in English.
DJ Tenderloin 6:22:11 PM
Amy Lee - "Met at a bar morning of St Pats parade day in AC." - WOW. I believe you have won whatever this game is. Kudos.
DJ Tenderloin 6:24:45 PM
We have a bar, a super bowl party, an anti war rally with Steve Earle, and the perfectly named "Whiskey Dix". True love! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:25:06 PM
Real remarkable cross-section.
Randy Marthins 6:25:06 PM
Met D'Wife while working the door for a band playing Doc Watson's in Philly - not the "most" wretched hive of scum & villainy, but ...
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:25:27 PM
Those steps up to the second floor were wretched, if memory serves.
Randy Marthins 6:25:37 PM
A sample from "TROOPS!" WOW!!!
Randy Marthins 6:25:56 PM
What's next "Chad Vader?"
Randy Marthins 6:26:21 PM
You are correct @jon
DJ Tenderloin 6:26:27 PM
Randy! Another fine place to find true love.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:26:47 PM
I think my wife went to high school with the voice of Chad Vader?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:26:59 PM
Randy, perhaps George Lucas in Love.
Randy Marthins 6:27:51 PM
"Hardware Wars?"
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:27:59 PM
You'll laugh...you'll cry...
Maggie Schreiter 6:28:49 PM
i met my husband on the internet in 2001 when people thought you were weird/crazy/destined to be left for dead in a ditch for doing that
Amy Lee 6:28:58 PM
I figured that was a normal meet. However, talked for 13hrs that day; on our first official date 3weeks later, he says "I have an ex-wife who won't sign divorce papers & an ex-gf who won't move out of my house". Thought about for 20 seconds, said, "I'm ok with that". Been together since 2008.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:29:50 PM
Maggie, I have a friend who had a similar experience and that involved lying to her parents about why she was flying overseas...
Maggie Schreiter 6:30:11 PM
@dj was it the whiskey dix that was next to the electric factory?
Mary Jones 6:30:18 PM
I met my husband at a playwriting group in Philly on South Street; he liked the way I yelled at a guy for writing a bad play.
DJ Tenderloin 6:30:21 PM
Amy Lee - you. are. AMAZING! you definitely win. You know Jon with all the ♥️ in the air tonight I feel like we need some Star Wars love theme....
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:30:47 PM
Mary, I didn't know this!
DJ Tenderloin 6:30:52 PM
Mary Jones! I love it!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:30:54 PM
Good thing the other dude's play was bad.
DJ Tenderloin 6:31:11 PM
Nothing worse than a bad play
Maggie Schreiter 6:31:30 PM
@jon lol fortunately he was at tcnj and i was in south jersey at the time. i only lied once and it was to go meet him at denny's (he got lost and was 45 minutes late). the second time he offered to meet my parents first!
Mary Jones 6:31:43 PM
Oh! Yeah, a friend brought him along, and I ripped into this terrible noir piece that was deeply misogynistic. Dennis thought it was very hot.

Maggie Schreiter 6:32:14 PM
@mary that's the good stuff.

Oh how I loved my regular Denny's waitress when I was in high school. Jane, where are you now?!

ROMANCE IS UNSTOPPABLE
Mary Jones 6:32:30 PM

Randy Marthins 6:32:57 PM
@amy I had a gf with an ex- husband situation kinda like that; almost got me killed LOL
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:32:58 PM
She was not into my awkward attempt to ask her out.
Amy Lee 6:34:10 PM
*Just me & him together. The other stuff eventually resolved. Just a typical Marine.
Randy Marthins 6:34:12 PM
@jon - "I loved my regular Denny's waitress when I was in high school. Jane, where are you now?!" Are you sure her name wasn't Kim?
Mary Jones 6:34:21 PM
Going into “The Message” there—A+
Marcus "Monthly Donor" Haupt 6:34:42 PM
Hello Jon! Matt Damon married his waitress. Same with Nick Cage
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:34:54 PM
Mary, this was the piece that made me realize I could pull off an ALL-STAR WARS SHOW. That's a jaw-dropping moment.
DJ Tenderloin 6:35:05 PM
hearing all these different stories of how people hooked up - fascinating and somehow also hopeful. Perhaps people can make it? maybe? and not destroy everything? is there hope? there must be hope where there is love?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:35:21 PM
Marcus, I sense that ship has sailed.

Maggie Schreiter 6:37:33 PM
my cousin is a read-all-the-books-in-the-80s star wars fan, and when she got pregnant with her fourth kid, the due date was may 4. and she was like, "i will make this happen." she did. his name is harrison solo and today he turns.. 11? 12? i think 12.
Maggie Schreiter 6:38:04 PM
"i have magical power in my hands and feet" was that???
Mary Jones 6:38:42 PM
@Maggie that is some will-power! Or a well-bribed obstetrician.
Amy Lee 6:38:43 PM
@Randy - she tried to kill him after 20yrs of marriage.
Marcus "Monthly Donor" Haupt 6:39:44 PM
I believe "Splinter of the Mind's Eye" sold only one copy and it was passed hand-to-hand across America where it touched the hand of every 12-14 year old
Dylan Lawrence 6:40:06 PM
This goes irresponsibly hard. Just bought a projector and this has jumped to the top of the docket to screen in the backyard
Maggie Schreiter 6:40:23 PM
@jon willpower! she did a lot of resting and then late on the 3rd she did a ton of yard work and went into labor on her own!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:40:23 PM
Some pals do a Star Wars podcast and they just finished a weekly read of Splinter of the Mind's Eye. One chapter a week with running commentary.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:40:38 PM
Dylan, let us know when we should all come over.
Marcus "Monthly Donor" Haupt 6:40:48 PM
It's that same copy, I know it
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:40:57 PM
I will likely run out of time for the other great / different megamix I had scheduled.

Breakbeat! Let's GOOOOO!
Amy Lee 6:45:03 PM
@Mary Jones - In my head, I rewrote your meet into you were acting out a scene in which you ripped into a guy for writing a bad play. Your original is wayy better.
Amy Lee 6:45:47 PM
Jon, guess you'll just have to save that for May 25th
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:46:45 PM
I think I could do a 4-5 hour Star Wars show and feel pretty good about the quality throughout. That doesn't even touch on records like this one...

Speaking of plays Let us not forget --- https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/WSW/william-shakespeares-star-wars/
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:49:32 PM

Maggie Schreiter 6:50:27 PM
i had that particular r2 scream as my text ringtone for a while and had to change it bc it scared the crap out of me every time
Alex Crowe 6:51:53 PM
Hey Jon!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:52:22 PM
Good evening, Alex!
Space Cowboy 6:52:47 PM
Did anyone here see the original Star wars in theater
Alex Crowe 6:52:56 PM
DJ food was bril!
Space Cowboy 6:53:01 PM
When it came out
Space Cowboy 6:53:12 PM
@ alex agreed
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:53:17 PM
I did indeed, Space Cowboy. Well, the first time I got too scared before I made it into the theater but...
Alex Crowe 6:53:35 PM
@ Space cowboy. 26 times that summer.
Randy Marthins 6:53:42 PM
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Marcus "Monthly Donor" Haupt 6:53:52 PM
I saw it first run
Randy Marthins 6:54:33 PM
SamEric Theater, Ellisburg Circle, Cherry Hill, NJ
Marcus "Monthly Donor" Haupt 6:55:07 PM

Alex Crowe 6:56:00 PM
More than once have I fantasized I was at Jabba's while listening to some Habibi funk.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:57:24 PM
One of the first 40 (?) theaters to have Star Wars on 5/25/77 was in Lawrence Twp., NJ.
Mary Jones 6:58:20 PM
@Amy I appreciate the meta nature of that rewrite though
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:58:44 PM
It is now an exterminator service.
Space Cowboy 6:59:05 PM
This pretty bad.. oof
DJ Tenderloin 6:59:18 PM
I saw twice I think that summer of 77 - both at the Aspen Hill Shopping Center movie theatre.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:59:23 PM

DJ Tenderloin 6:59:56 PM
this was in Wheaton, MD.
Alex Crowe 7:00:21 PM
I also wonder if during filming in Morocco some Habibi funk didnt filter into George Lucas' consciousness.
Marcus "Monthly Donor" Haupt 7:00:22 PM
When you got to the theatre the line was around the block and you waited for hours for a seat
Randy Marthins 7:00:38 PM
The WORST is that the Westmont Theater, where Spielberg saw "The Greatest Show On Earth" is now Planet Fitness
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:00:54 PM
This is an excerpt from a "dirty comedy Star Wars parody record" I have yet to fully explore called Star Boores.
Amy Lee 7:01:44 PM
@Space Cowboy - my husband did. And I just got a lengthy talk on how only so much was revealed in the comics before movie came out so it made it that much more exciting.
DJ Tenderloin 7:02:15 PM
Jon your research for this show was top notch sir. crazy stuff you find.
Randy Marthins 7:02:17 PM
Whatever happened to "Pink Five?"
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:03:20 PM
DJ Tenderloin, I blocked out last Thursday for this since I knew my weekend was going to be bonkers. I still have a decent list of 77-80 records to explore.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:03:33 PM
I'd say about 1/3 of the playlist is new to the show?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:04:11 PM
Which is always the unofficial goal.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:04:32 PM
So many 15 minute disco medleys that we won't get to. Alas.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:07:28 PM
Sing it! Bones bones bones bones bones bones!
Norman Burnosky 7:08:18 PM
Hell yeah mountain goats
DJ Tenderloin 7:09:37 PM
77-80 records to explore is insane - for Star Wars? amazing. how was the broad street run? I may have to run out here soon - gotta get some dinner. Such a fun show, man.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:09:48 PM
Hell yeah Norman!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:11:53 PM
DJ Tenderloin there was a great blog post about Star Wars records from that period I have used as my Rosetta stone.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:12:16 PM
Broad Street Run went almost entirely great. You're welcome, guy who dropped his phone I went back to pick up off the street!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:12:34 PM
Really happy with how steady my run was and that the weather cooperated.
Carlos Ramone 7:15:32 PM
Late afternoon greetings..
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:15:43 PM
Welcome, Carlos!
Marcus "Monthly Donor" Haupt 7:15:56 PM
Samba!
DJ Tenderloin 7:16:14 PM
hey man glad the run went well. my wife knows some folks who ran. speaking of running - i'm outta here for some dinner (I just got nothing in my house here in balto) - might be back before the end but if not - great show! may the space be the force with the thing! pew! pew! everyone have a great night
Maggie Schreiter 7:16:24 PM
TAKANAKAAAAA
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:16:40 PM
Pew and also pew, DJ Tenderloin.
Marcus "Monthly Donor" Haupt 7:17:11 PM
Pagode: that cavaquinho
Carlos Ramone 7:17:28 PM
I feel out of place here..saw the original one in the 70’s and not another one until my kids wanted to go
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:17:47 PM
Carlos, the chat is big tent. We're just glad to have you along for the ride.
Randy Marthins 7:20:28 PM
I'm thinking - and I hope I'm wrong, but that might be worse - that there was a musical/ dance number on Lawrence Welk set to Star Wars
Carlos Ramone 7:22:36 PM
I think it was somewhere in New Mexico a town has a Star Wars mailbox
Randy Marthins 7:22:37 PM
Speaking Star Wars adjacent - "Stuart Fails To Save The Universe"

Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:24:34 PM
Randy you might be thinking of Donnie and Marie?
Randy Marthins 7:24:46 PM
On Jerry Lewis Telethon, at that!!!
Alex Crowe 7:24:53 PM
@ Randy. google signs point to yes. (sound track only) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE6d7e0MuFg
Randy Marthins 7:25:11 PM
I wasn't, but I am NOW!!!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:25:40 PM
THAT is a cape!
Carlos Ramone 7:27:21 PM
I remember a Donny and Marie show where Donny did a song in Ziggy Stardust makeup. Made me cringe at an early age
Randy Marthins 7:27:26 PM
I was thinking a moment ago --- "another girl, another planet" by The Only Ones would be a fit for Lando "another girl, another planet ... that I can NEVER visit again!!!"

Jimmy Castor! Was nobody spared the madness?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:29:42 PM
This one is especially ridiculous.
Alex Crowe 7:30:22 PM
What is a novelty tune without Bertha butt?
Marcus "Monthly Donor" Haupt 7:30:23 PM
He did have that song about troglodytes from the earth's core
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:30:40 PM
Also love that Vader is spelled incorrectly.
Amy Lee 7:30:59 PM
Random memory-have a clip of a little boy in a light saber duel w/'Qui-Gon Jinn' from a comic-con approx 10yrs ago(?). The pure joy & amazement on the kid is so cool. Unintentional film capture while recording something else.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:31:20 PM
Amy is on a roll tonight!
Dan Wade {2} 7:34:38 PM
Great show, jon. Thank you
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:35:16 PM
Dan, thank YOU! Sorry we won't get to all of Headnodic but I'm gonna try to include as much as I can.
Marcus "Monthly Donor" Haupt 7:35:17 PM
Samba: batucada
Dan Wade {2} 7:36:15 PM

Amy Lee 7:36:35 PM
This is awesome! I want to see it in a Mummers parade
Marcus "Monthly Donor" Haupt 7:38:46 PM
Here's a Forró Star Wars (Northeast Brasil represents) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Mr_2ZvbimMk?feature=share
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:38:51 PM
Always a bit of worry when it comes to Mummers casting but...
Maggie Schreiter 7:39:37 PM
oh no, being invited to do online star wars trivia tonight
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:40:11 PM
Do you need a team name?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:40:53 PM
If so, you should call your team STAR WARS.
Maggie Schreiter 7:41:03 PM
probably! but we have to scrape together a team first
Maggie Schreiter 7:41:11 PM
asdifjhdskjfhahahaha
Maggie Schreiter 7:41:31 PM
GO SEE A STAR WAR
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:41:48 PM
I have to pack for my trip tonight, otherwise I would volunteer our hosuehold's services.
Mary Jones 7:42:11 PM
…hey guys, it’s taken me 47 years to realize “womprat” is a play on “swamp rat”.
Mary Jones 7:42:28 PM
Only just now realized it.
Maggie Schreiter 7:43:08 PM
my team may end up being all women and i'll insist we call ourselves NO BRAS IN SPACE
Mary Jones 7:43:09 PM
Tatooine does remind me of Australia
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:43:16 PM
Wait until you spell Senator Grebleips backwards, Mary.
Mary Jones 7:43:36 PM
DAMN IT JON
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:43:54 PM
Maggie that is very good.
Alex Crowe 7:45:03 PM
Thanks Jon! Having embraced the schlock side tonight I may finally be able to allow for Jar Jar Binks.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:45:11 PM
Slow down there, Alex.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:45:16 PM
One step at a time.
Maggie Schreiter 7:46:00 PM
in the end, some gungans died. and it was not enough.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:46:35 PM
I've been trying to work Toryn Farr into a team name Maggie but you don't need my help.
Maggie Schreiter 7:47:02 PM
a long time ago in a toryn farr far away
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:48:20 PM
It is a comma of civil war.
Randy Marthins 7:49:03 PM
When I saw Star Wars I thought "I'd like to find a princess like that!" I don't have a sister, so I made out with my cousin LOL
Maggie Schreiter 7:49:16 PM
is melmac part of the resistance
Randy Marthins 7:49:45 PM
Resistance is Feline
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:50:02 PM
Melmackbar.
Mary Jones 7:50:54 PM
They really should’ve gone all-in on a Return of the Jedi musical.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:50:57 PM
I would be curious, at another time, to hear from you fine listeners about other days / celebrations you would love to hear shows during (not just hosted by me).
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:51:16 PM
I dream of bringing back a Halloween night spooky broadcast, for example.
Mary Jones 7:52:01 PM
Halloween would be great, would love that.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:52:45 PM
Daniel DiMaggio used to do one and I know Lizbot has but like a special six hour broadcast of scary records and spooky stories would be grand.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:52:53 PM
So, ideas of that nature.
Maggie Schreiter 7:53:43 PM
very pro-halloween.
Mary Jones 7:53:45 PM
Pi Day, all songs are 3:14
Maggie Schreiter 7:55:26 PM
in my digital library it looks like i have over 100 songs that are 3:14, so that's gotta be doable
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:55:28 PM
Plus that song where The Ex goes through a pie recipe.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:55:38 PM
HIGH CONCEPT.
Amy Lee 7:56:08 PM
Can't. Stop. Ideas.Too many.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:56:34 PM
Like I said, this doesn't have to be for now. Planting seeds.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:57:39 PM
I hope you all have great nights. Back on the radio in a few Wednesdays. See you then if not sooner!
Mary Jones 7:58:00 PM
Thank you for the show!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:58:23 PM
