AAAAACK! I never need to hear "I'm Alright" ever again.  But BOS4 the gooey, cheeze-for-breakfast goodness of ONJ/ELO. "a place... that nobody dared to go." Uh, there's a reason for that, Livvy...

Oh, how I loved Xanadu (song and film) as a kid!  Listening to this makes me wanna twirl around in my roller skates with roach clips in my hair.  BOS2.

Ugh, totally agree with you on "I'm Alright".  Apart from "Whenever I Call You Friend", Kenny Loggins just grates.

about 5 years ago the Castro did a triple-bill: Roller Boogie, Skatetown USA and of course the ONJ/Gene Kelly extravaganza.  I couldn't make it to the end of Xanadu, it's really bad filmmaking and not in a fun way.  But Linda Blair in Roller Boogie -- yowsah!

Holy shiznit.  I wish I knew about this then.  I totally saw all those movies as a kid!  Hmm, perhaps the pot wore off by the end of Xanadu?  ;)

WOS Ambrosia.  Yacht-crock.

BOSing Boz Scaggs, "JoJo" & Benny Mardones, "Into The Night".  

Final BOSes to "Fame" and The S.O.S. Band.  I took my time, and did it right...um, right?

Big news: no more Casey on 1550-AM; True Oldies Channel is gone and in its place is an Indian format. Here's Oldies 103.7's chance to pick up AT40 (hopefully both versions).

Wow, #40, Peoples Choice's "Ah Likes To Do It" is edited down to a tight minute-and-20-seconds! But fab stuff so far; a rare countdown with *8* debut songs. BOS1 Ms King's "So Far Away".

Guess Who ask "where'd ya get the gun, John?". BOS2 Stevie -- this debuted in September? I always remembered it as a summer song.

VHM "Paul" Stookey; BOS3 Bobby Russell and Harry the dog with the best Roger Miller imitation ever.

BOS4 the J-5's fantabulous "Maybe Tomorrow" *swoon*! Proxy of cairo, BS&T.

I can't honestly BOS "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" but I'm still flabbergasted that Mac & Katie Kissoon are black.

Mmmmmm... purple flowers for breakfast...

BOS5 the loooong version of Tom Clay's "What the World..." which remains one of the most amazing Top40 hits ever -- cheesily over-the-top at times but heartfelt and moving.

Lawd'a'mercy! Our Hour 1 "extra" is Denise LaSalle's "Trapped by a Thing Called Love".  BOS6.

Hour 2 begins with another severe edit: "Indian Reservation", on its way down and out. VHM Rev. Al's first pop hit; ditto ONJ with hers: the EZ-listening take on "If Not For You" was scorned at the time but it's rather sweet and underrated IMHO.

BOS7 George's "Bangla Desh"; this was a chart for heartfelt pleas, alright.

JB's got hotpants; JT's got a friend

VHM the Partridges. yikes 2 of the all-time ClassicRock warhorses back-to-back: The 'oo (speaking of severe radio edits) and Rod the Bod.

VHM Miss Baez, mangling the lyrics to "...Dixie Down". "so much cavalry"? You're smarter than that, Joanie. HM the Honey Cone, wearin' a smile down the aisle 'cause he da father of they chile!

WOS Swedish-a Hykah.

Rare Earth open another brate franchise. VHM 3DN's "Liar", one of their most underappreciated 45s.

1985 begins with an unexpected BOS for Laura Branigan's "Spanish Eddie" which I surely haven't heard in ages. The castinets alone woulda guaranteed a VHM.

Girls rule! Lisa Lisa, followed by Chrissie (w/UB40) followed by -- OMFG! -- Katrina's *other* hit. VHMFRA to "If You Want Crying"

LOL! Casey just said "bang cock" on the radio! Mike McDonald recycles himself; ditto John Cafferty. W-O-S-1 "C-I-T-Y"

Nooooooooooooooo!! WOS2 Jagger/Bowie, gayest. video. evah!

Haaaaay!  BOS1 "Wonder If I Take You Home" - Lisa Lisa, Cult Jam, Full Force, Kitchen Sink, etc...

Ugh.  Never liked this cover of "Dancing in the Sheets Streets."  Mick and Dave really did make the gayest video evah, though!

Those Full Force dudes had bigger chests than Lisa Lisa (which is saying something).

VHM Dead or Alive

BOS2 the teen-dreamy DeBarge hit "Who's Holding Donna". Oh, EL! *swoon*!
