. OOPSIES: CKOC justice jumped from Sister Janet Mead at #3 to Eddie Kendricks at #2! And then #1 andout. And then the extra, and then back to #9. Eeek. The bizzaro CKOC order continues immediately aftert #3 by streisand w/ #13 (eres tu). After #10 by John Denver, now to #22 "my sweet lady" which accidentally was originally a John Denver composition from 71's 'poems, prayers & promises'. OK. Apparently, no repeat of segments/songs. Just the idiot at the switch caused the segments to shuffle. After the end of the second hour (#14 "jet") now onto the start of the 2nd hour by Charlie Rich. Then after #23, back to #30-#27, followed by the last extra ('the exorcist' theme.) The end!

I wouldn't necessarily throw CKOC under the bus... I've found them a relatively low-error station (and one that plays all the extras dependably, at that) since I've been recording off of them. Besides tonight, the only other recent error I recall was a month ago when their system dumped the first two hours of a show.

I would say for about a couple of months now, there's been more errors (incl. non-consistent start times Somewhere between 10 min. before the hour to 5 min. past the hour.) Yes, I agree they used to be one of the more reliable affiliates. Regrettably, it looks not anymore.

Conventional wisdom says this must be the last hour. Yet, the hour started with op./extra #2 by billy Joel; followed by #17. And like last night the end of the second hour is followed by the beginning of the 2nd at #26. So the erroneous order played last night between 9pm&10pm looks like is repeated.

Kirk, of the starship Enterprise!!!) The irony here is that James R. Kirk was put on a tombstone for Captain Kirk by Gary Mitchell using his godlike psionics in Star Trek's second pilot episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before" from 1966! I remember it was one of those rare occasions cap. Kirk didn't have much respect for Spock, after Spock suggested to him they kill the jewelled-eye while they can.

Hearing Redbone's "Come and Get Your Love" reminded me of another more current trivia about the Billboard 200 album chart. The song along with another rarely-played-song nowadays (Hooked on a feeling) by the Blue Swede is part of the soundtrack of 'Guardians of the Galaxy awesome mix vol. 1' that also includes other more famous late 60s/70s songs. The trivia: it's the first soundtrack in history that entirely consists of previously released songs AND got to #1 of the album chart (according to Keith Caulfield of the Billboard).

Dug the '74 show, found it curious that Casey announced the Stones song as simply "Heartbreaker" - I really wanted to hear him say "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo". Anyone know if he ever used the full title during it's 6 weeks on the 40?

One thing that really came to mind for me during the '74 show was the big "country vs. pop" battle of the era - the country purists were up in arms about the infringement of pop influences into the genre (good thing a lot of them aren't around to hear what passes for "country" in 2015).
On this 40, we had the two biggest "usurpers": Olivia Newton-John & John Denver. We also had Charlie Rich, who infamously burned John Denver's name after announcing him as Entertainer of the Year at the CMA Awards (the Silver Fox's motives in doing so have always been subject to debate).
And last but not least, we heard that Bob Dylan had the #1 album not long after hearing Tom T. Hall's "I Love" - judging from Dylan's recent acceptance speech at the MusicCares ceremony, he STILL has a beef with anti-pop comments Tom T. made back then.

Dylan's jump from Columbia to David Geffen's Asylum Records and then back to his old label after only two LPs--one studio (the above-mentioned "Planet Waves") and one live ("Before the Flood"--Dylan and The Band) has to be one of the great examples of the old adage "The grass isn't always greener...". Would love to hear more about the Dylan/Hall dispute. Could you elaborate?

Would love to hear more about the Dylan/Hall dispute. Could you elaborate? This is what Bob said: "Times always change. They really do. And you have to always be ready for something that's coming along and you never expected it. Way back when, I was in Nashville making some records and I read this article, a Tom T. Hall interview. Tom T. Hall, he was pregnant doging about some kind of new song, and he couldn't understand what these new kinds of songs that were coming in were about. Now Tom, he was one of the most preeminent songwriters of the time in Nashville. A lot of people were recording his songs and he himself even did it. But he was all in a fuss about James Taylor, a song James had called "Country Road." Tom was going off in this interview -- "But James don't say nothing about a country road. He's just says how you can feel it on the country road. I don't understand that." Now some might say Tom is a great songwriter. I'm not going to doubt that. At the time he was doing this interview I was actually listening to a song of his on the radio. It was called "I Love." I was listening to it in a recording studio, and he was talking about all the things he loves, an everyman kind of song, trying to connect with people. Trying to make you think that he's just like you and you're just like him. We all love the same things, and we're all in this together. Tom loves little baby ducks, slow-moving trains and rain. He loves old pickup trucks and little country streams. Sleeping without dreams. Bourbon in a glass. Coffee in a cup. Tomatoes on the vine, and onions. Now listen, I'm not ever going to disparage another songwriter. I'm not going to do that. I'm not saying it's a bad song. I'm just saying it might be a little overcooked. But, you know, it was in the top 10 anyway. Tom and a few other writers had the whole Nashville scene sewed up in a box. If you wanted to record a song and get it in the top 10 you had to go to them, and Tom was one of the top guys. They were all very comfortable, doing their thing." Here's the link to a full LA Times transcript - he also gets in a shot at Merle Haggard, among others: Transcript of Bob Dylan's MusiCares Person of Year speechAfter 30 years of fandom, I've learned not to guess too much at the motives & intents behind anything Dylan says. He also mentions how Johnny Cash went to bat for him, so maybe some of the crap he got during the "Nashville Skyline" era was coming to mind as he spoke.

But I don't know what "R." is for either on the tombstone or for the middle initials of the AT40 theme writer's name.
