    Lately we get the feeling that the show may be rotting like a dead skunk, but neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye. That would leave one less set of footsteps, but as the saying goes, maybe you have to break up to make up. This week; do you want dance or maybe just sing along to Billboard Top 40 from the week of March 24, 1973? We promise not to stop until we get to the last song.

    Episode 84: The Week Ending November 27, 1971 A Wild Night with One Tin Soldier

    Ah Thanksgiving, that one fine morning in the midst of the week that you don’t have to go to work. Thanksgiving always falls on the 4th Thursday in November which means it is always under the sign of Sagittarius, never Scorpio. When it comes to getting together on this holiday, a lot of people feel they’ve got to be there, after all, it’s a family affair and everybody’s everything. It’s hard to imagine, but there are people who I am sure are tired of being alone on the holiday. I don’t at all want to throw stones if that is what you choose to do, but if not; I’d love to change the world so that you to could cherish the company of others while continuing to respect yourself.  This week we spend a wild night with the Billboard top 40 songs from the week ending November 27, 1971. I’m sure the music is a lot different than it was say in the summer of ’42, so rest assured, we will rock steady.

    Episode 83: The Week Ending November 17, 1979 Good Girls Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough

    This week it’s so good, so right, that we have some guest rankings to go along with ours. Still, there is a potential that there will be a heartache tonight. Will we rise above our individual biases and say “enough is enough”?  This week we listen to the pop muzic in the Billboard Top 40 from the week ending November 17, 1979. Will this be ladies night, or something that appeals more to a dirty white boy? Who knows? Damned if I do. This night won’t last forever, so dim all the lights and close your eyes. Perhaps you will dream, just beware of the dream police.
