Good morning Seattle, and welcome to the Thursday Fall Drive edition of The Morning Show. If you're able, we would love your support to keep KEXP on the air. You can go here to donate: www.kexp.org

It's no secret that The Morning Show has the freedom to react to whatever is going on around us. (Which has been a hell of a lot in 2020) We need your help to be able to continue being a fly on the wall/etc to the world around us: www.kexp.org

Help fuel a Lovebuzz to The Morning Show by donating (if you can!) here: www.kexp.org

If you say it wasn't racial When they shot him in his tracks Well I guess that means that you ain't black It means that you ain't black www.kexp.org

Springsteen wrote this song about a veteran returning back to the U.S. only to find little in the way of help or support. The irony of this song is lost on many. www.kexp.org

As I walk through this wicked world Searching for light in the darkness of insanity I ask myself is all hope lost? Is there only pain and hatred and misery? Surprisingly not written in 2020, but you can count on KEXP to play the songs that matter during difficult times. (AKA this entire year) If you're able, we could use your support right now: www.kexp.org

We WILL make it through this year with your support! We're nearing the end of the last drive of the year for KEXP. We know it's hard for everyone right now, but if you are able, find us here to donate: www.kexp.org

It's the final fundraising drive of the year for KEXP, and a tough one for many. If you have the means to help support this show going on, go here: www.kexp.org

We know things are bad Worse than bad They're crazy It's like everything everywhere Is going crazy So we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house and slowly, The world we're living in is getting smaller And all we say is "Please... at least leave us alone in our living room." All I know is that first we've got to get mad... You've got to say "I'm a human being GOD DAMN IT! My life has value!" If KEXP has helped your life in any way this year, please consider donating here: www.kexp.org

This is a public service announcement WITH GUITAR! KEXP could use your support to keep us on air. If you have the means, you can help us here: www.kexp.org

"I upped my Amplifier donation yesterday so I could join Cozy Club by way of Hoodietown and Mugport, but I wanted to say thanks for being on the air this morning. I woke up SUPER sad after a night full of sad dreams, and hearing John and Morgan crack each other up is helping to chip away at the huge pile of grief and sadness I’m digging out from underneath this morning." - Sheila in Seattle www.kexp.org

We used to meet every Thursday Thursday Thursday in the afternoon, but now it's just Zoom calls. Help support Thursday here: www.kexp.org
