Anyone else having streaming issues with CFQM Moncton? Usually pretty reliable, they're continually cutting in and out one me. More out than in right now. I'm going to give up on them for today.

Ken, is Part 9 going to be redone? You had said there was a length issue with it the first go. Can't wait! So excited! Yes, the length issue for the previous run of part 9 was resolved. In effect, you heard a rough cut of the show. This always appears to be a moving target for the final show. It's gonna happen when you do something this enormously long. Part of the process.

Optional extras for next week:
9/18/82 (from 2009; incidentally that year they played this week's 1980 B show the following week): Hour #1: "Up Where We Belong" - Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes Hour #2: "Rock This Town" - The Stray Cats Hour #3: "I'm So Excited" - The Pointer Sisters* Hour #4: "Steppin' Out" - Joe Jackson
*"I'm So Excited" is also heard in the 1984 show, as it re-debuted at #37 that week.
9/8/84: (from 2014; also played in 2009, with the same optional extras): Hour #1: "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" - Wham! Hour #2: "I Feel For You" - Chaka Khan Hour #3: "Some Guys Have All The Luck" - Rod Stewart Hour #4: "On The Dark Side" - John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band

KKPR Kearney, Nebraska just ended the show without airing #s 2 or 1. No Marty McFly or Elmo! After the start of the final break there was dead air, then a minute or two of "Wheel In the Sky" by somebody, definitely NOT Steve Perry's voice although the instrumentation did sound like Journey, and then nothing again, with a notice that their stream was now 'unavailable due to streaming restrictions". Very odd.

9/7/85 was one of the few AT40s that had a Long Distance Dedication of a recording that never reached the countdown, Dolly Parton's rendition of "I Will Always Love You". I believe they played the 1982 recording; both that and the 1974 original went #1 country (the later version reached #53 on the Hot 100.)
Whitney Houston's version was of course endlessly used as an R&D/LDD from 1993 on.
And was it really appropriate to put another LDD letter, this one about suicide, right after the fairly uptempo "Don't Lose My Number"? Seems especially noteworthy in light of what happened when recording the following week's show. (Then again, this was shortly after an upbeat Billy Joel song about the same subject, giving Casey a natural "tease" for the next segment.)

Major League Baseball Chicago at Kansas City Pre-game 5:30p/first pitch 6:10p Classic Hits 98.9FM KKPR That's the unavailable stream issue, I believe; the faux Journey I cannot help with.

I think the 'faux Journey' song might have been Journey with their current lead singer, who sounds a lot like Perry. That is, if they have re-recorded some of their old material.

Too bad, no Snuggles and the g** d*** dog dedication. That was funny. Not the dead dog but thinking about Casey going apes****.
And how things have changed. In 1985 playing "Money For Nothing" and it's infamous "f" word would've been nothing. Thirty years later and radio stations are afraid to play the song in its entirety. Not saying anyone should use that word but we're so politically correct today it's scary. Again, not a fan of any gay slurs but people have to lighten up a little bit. It's a song that came out 30 years ago.

Money for Nothing is a song I have always liked. That said, I never need to hear the unedited version again - there is no need to hear that word.

In context it would be no different than saying you wouldn't want to hear the full version of Living For The City because of the "get in that cell..." line.

I guess as a PC millenial, I fully support these songs remaining intact for the album version, but they should be edited for commercial radio airplay simply because of what some of these words and phrases mean.

Just tuned into WTOJ to listen to some of the #1 special, so happy to hear the John Lennon tribute as a part of it.
