How about the 49th anniversary box set of My Aim Is True about to come out? I wonder why they didn’t wait a year.

#TestShow460 Josh was delightful and hilarious on Never Not Funny. “You chose arm make-up over sleeves?” I sure hope he becomes their Tony Randall. He mentioned Squeeze and Joe Jackson when asked about music. They both put out new albums this year that are up there with their best work.

#TestShow457 Josh, where do you think LeBron is going? Are you sorry to see him leave the Lakers? How are you feeling about the Doncic, Reaves, Kessler power trio? Andy, same questions.

Has Josh or Andy given the new Paul McCartney album a listen? ( this is being written on Paul’s 84th birthday )

#TestShow448 I heard a UK comedian mention that he sells greeting cards with his jokes written inside after his shows. Fans buy, he signs He claimed people prefer them to his mugs Would Andy or Josh consider that as a merch option ? If so, what jokes would they choose for their cards ?

#TestShow444 On Ahmet Zappa’s Rocktails podcast he was talking to Michael Bunin and mentioned something about them hanging out and gambling with Andy at The Friars. Can Andy share any tales from those days?

#TestShow442 Was Josh watching the Lakers vs Knicks game where Marcus Smart dove for a ball and landed on Bill Maher sitting courtside, injuring Maher’s finger? If so, how many times did he rewind it to watch again?…….So happy to hear Allison is okay.

#TestShow441 I have a feeling Josh already told us what was wrong with Man On The Run by time this is read. Does he think the section bringing Linda’s vocals way up front was brave or mean spirited ? PS- Andy. I was on Crescent street when I took the photo of your father’s old address.

#TestShow439 Phil Manzanera has a Dylan tale in his memoir. They are playing a charity gig. Dylan asks if the band knows a 1948Tex-Mex song,he can’t place the name. He played what he claimed was the same song 6 times in a row. Each time it had different words,key and tempo. Does Angry Bob know it?

#TestShow437 Great to hear the John Hiatt chat and Memphis in The Meantime semi-cover last show. There’s an excellent, and quite thorough, biography called Have A Little Faith-The John Hiatt story by Michael Elliot. With a foreword by Elvis Costello. And, YES Andy, It is available on Audible.

#TestShow436 I was listening to Loudon Wainwright’s album Last Man On Earth. I checked the credits and saw it’s produced by Stewart Lerman, which had me wondering on the status of Andy’s reunion. Fully rekindled (rekindlered) ? PS-Angry Dylan singing “everybody must get foam” caused a spit take.

#TestShow435 I read in the Larry Charles book that Bob Dylan owns a coffee shop in Santa Monica. Have either of you been there ? ( if angry Bob Dylan has any insight into the running of this establishment, it would be most welcome )

#TestShow434 I’m so happy to hear Allison is feeling better. Will she be working on any new music? I’m sure I’m not the only one who became a fan from the Thought Spiral halftime shows. Andy should listen sometime.

#TestShow430 I enjoyed hearing the favorite artists of your spouses last week. Are there any beloved bands either of you have that your partner does not hear ear to ear with you? Do they make you only play them when they’re far from earshot?

#TestShow428 Michael DesBarres is the guest on the latest Zepfan podcast They discuss the doc and he speaks very, very highly ofJosh and the whole experience. I didn’t know it took 7 years!! He wouldn’t address the rumors about Bonzo and Page playing on Detective albums. Does Josh know anything?

#TestShow426 Learning that an impressionable young Josh saw the Styx Kilroy Was Here stage show, does he still have a little soft spot for them? They seem to be as reviled as Nickleback, which always seemed a bit harsh to me. Except for Babe of course.

He tries to deal with the fleeting concept of time, is a piece of vintage sounding (flower) power pop, about halfway Badfinger and The Byrds. Being your own vocalist means that there are no problems with those pesky pitch nuisances. www.herecomestheflood.com/2025/11/the-... #johndunbar #review
