Jon is off on one of his so-xalled "vacations"
Rofflelectic
5:07:14 PM
And Hi!
Commie Francis (1) (host)
5:07:15 PM
he will be returned safely once the full lying nun catalog has been deposited in a safe location
Commie Francis (1) (host)
5:07:23 PM
flying nun even
Rofflelectic
5:07:55 PM
lying nun! Too funny!
donutage
5:08:28 PM
"lying nun" sounds like the Wario of New Zealand record labels
Rofflelectic
5:10:29 PM
Māori style? Cool If those are warriors to whom you refer. :)

I'm dopey, but my questions are valid.

Really have nothing off to say about Parton. I caught a short clip of her with a setup question from an old show she was on about if she would run for a government office, and she said the government has enough boobs. I totally loved that.

You can do anything Commie!
Jon Solomon
5:19:08 PM
Ha, we are in GOOD HANDS tonight.
Rofflelectic
5:19:43 PM
My thoughts exactly.
Rofflelectic
5:20:35 PM
How's the adventure going Jon?
Jon Solomon
5:21:36 PM
I am back in NJ but needed one more day to catch up. Almost there!
donutage
5:22:07 PM
hi, jon! no more border hassles, I hope
Rofflelectic
5:22:34 PM
Time takes it's toll. I'd say welcome back, but alas I am in Philly without regrets.
Jon Solomon
5:22:59 PM
Getting back into the United States was easier than expected and getting back into New Jersey even more so.
Commie Francis (1) (host)
5:23:17 PM
you only have to pay to get OUT of new jersey
Rofflelectic
5:23:51 PM
So we are not on a watch list. Very cool! lol
Rofflelectic
5:24:15 PM
You have to pay to get into the US though.
Rofflelectic
5:24:54 PM
Is it still 5 bucks?
Jon Solomon
5:25:10 PM
I had a +1.
Rofflelectic
5:31:41 PM
I have done soooo many border crossings from BC to Low, low Montreal.I really love Canada. Out west it's fantasy land if you like uber spaces to look upon. PS: Trump is an idiot, because, reasons.

Mary Jones

*turns on WPRB, doesn’t notice the DJ change, hears Woody Guthrie*
Rofflelectic
5:41:19 PM
Woodie Guthrie said "if you're playin' more than two chords your just showing off". But he knew how to work a guitar. People are so funny.
Mary Jones
5:41:22 PM
“Jon’s joining the revolution, finally.”
oldmotorbikeguy
5:41:46 PM
always best to start at the very beginning
Mary Jones
5:42:51 PM
Oh, yes, love We’ll Need a Crane”
Commie Francis (1) (host)
5:43:06 PM
we're still very much in tove zone
Commie Francis (1) (host)
5:43:28 PM
i don't think i will play it but they also loooooooooove "old man on the bridge"
donutage
5:50:32 PM
when my son was young (he's 22 now) he used to go nuts for the Stones' "Cool, Calm, Collected"
donutage

5:51:21 PM
two of the most reliable little kid hits i know of are totally wired by the fall and tame by pixies especially if you pump them up to scream along

6:20:09 PM

jimbooooo
6:22:15 PM
They're from here? Cool!
Commie Francis (1) (host)
6:24:31 PM

Rofflelectic
6:32:37 PM
A wonderful fried of mine wet to The Hartt School for cello. I visited and it's nice once you get past the deep city parts
Rofflelectic
6:34:51 PM
Spelling be damned
Commie Francis (1) (host)
6:38:16 PM
i grew up in the hartford suburbs, or like sub-suburbs kinda. there have always been some neat things going on but it's kind of a boring city. i more often went to shows at rural grange halls or new haven
Commie Francis (1) (host)
6:38:48 PM
went to college there, briefly!
Commie Francis (1) (host)
6:39:31 PM
connecticut basically has like one big city's worth of interesting stuff spread out over the whole state
Rofflelectic
6:44:58 PM
That's a good description of the ultimate bedroom comunity that Connecticut feels like.
Rofflelectic
6:49:18 PM
I was walking back across town to get back to the Amtrack and a cop picked me up and took me past the "Part of town I should better not walk with my head in the clouds." Cool cop!
Commie Francis (1) (host)
6:50:54 PM
in philly?
Commie Francis (1) (host)
6:51:10 PM
oh in hartford
Rofflelectic
6:51:23 PM
No, no Hartford.
Rofflelectic
6:52:05 PM
Weird world, and I just love it! So far...
donutage
6:52:05 PM
My nephew went to the Hartt School for musical theater.
donutage
6:54:20 PM
During my 4 years in New Haven, I only went to Hartford once. For a Grateful Dead show.
Commie Francis (1) (host)
6:55:08 PM
my friend greg was always trying to get me to go see them so i would understand them but i never did
donutage
6:57:53 PM
I saw them a few times in the mid-late 80s. Had a pretty good time (even without chemical enhancement!), but I never felt the need to commit to the full deadhead lifestyle.
Rofflelectic
6:58:14 PM
@donutage, Not the best practice rooms really, at least the building I was in, but I did not explore much in two days. Then again Julliard is not very good either.
Rofflelectic
6:59:27 PM
Worst practice rooms ever!

6:59:44 PM
You can represent my views, Commie!

7:00:46 PM
I lost my wallet at a Dead show in Philly (@ JFK) and before I got home, the person who'd found it had called my house to let me know. My parents drove me to their house in Philly to pick it up.
Chris Mohr
7:02:05 PM
Good evening, Commie Francis! Catching up on the playlist and chat, looks like a good 'un. Love to read the tove stories. Agreed about "Totally Wired"!
Tyler B.
7:03:35 PM
Hey Chris, it was so nice meeting you the other day!
Chris Mohr
7:05:09 PM
Hey, Tyler! Likewise 👋
