Do you think that the Chris Cuomo who wrote the letter to Casey asking about longest and shortest number one songs is THE Chris Cuomo?

The countdown from 5/30/81 will have Archive songs from early 1966-They were "The Sounds Of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel,"We Can Work It Out" by The Beatles & "My Love" by Petula Clark.

My only beef with this particular show is that a huge hit that missed hitting #1 on the weekly chart is conspicuously absent. Which is?.... Let's just say that a) after Casey plays "Hurts So Good" at #39 he informs us that from there on it's all #1's; b) Foreigner has a song in the countdown but it's not the one you expected.

The University of Art in Graz (KUG) awards the English singer, drummer and actor Phil Collins an honorary doctorate, as the University announced a few days ago. The award ceremony will be held on 5/22/19 as part of a concert of the KUG Jazz Orchestra with The Vine Street Horns & Brad Cole. The Horns are the wind instrument group of Collins. It´s the first honorary doctorate ever awarded by the KUG. On the initiative of the Jazz Institute, the Rectorate and Senate of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG) have decided to award an honorary doctorate for the first time in the history of the institute. Phil Collins is honored for his decades of success as a drummer and singer of Genesis and as a solo artist. The award is presented to the singer, composer and songwriter as well as to the actor and author for his achievements in the field of jazz and popular music, which is essential for the KUG. The concert and the ceremony are organised as a closed event on the evening of Wednesday 5/22/19. The award ceremony will take place at 8 pm. Already at 4 pm there will be a round table discussion with students in the theatre of the KUG Palais. Just two weeks later, the British superstar makes another appearance, albeit in a less intimate setting: On 6/2/19 Collins will play a concert at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna. He may not be able to play drums himself after a hand operation, but he can sing all the better. In March 2011, with a heavy heart, he announced the end of his musical career and withdrew into private life, only to return five years later, in 2016, strengthened: With his completely remastered complete works, all eight solo albums in one box set, the autobiography "Not Dead Yet" and his 17-year-old son Nicholas on drums. Since then he doesn´t want to miss the stage air and especially the boy on drums anymore. And what could Phil Collins say about this honorary doctorate ?
Maybe "Goody goody goody" or maybe "Su Su Sussudio" ... At #29 this week on AT40, here´s Phil Collins and "Sussudio":

Loved hearing Casey's story about Fabian, in which he talks about a forthcoming movie called "Top Forty" -- which apparently never appeared anywhere. (Fabian's Wiki doesn't even list it under "unmade projects"!)

(Fabian's Wiki doesn't even list it under "unmade projects"!) I liked the mention of the excellent 1980 film "The Idolmaker", which I would love to see again. The late Ray Sharkey--an underrated actor, IMO--gave an amazing performance in it.

Prior to the Julian Lennon song “Say You’re Wrong”, Casey says something on the lines of Julian Lennon about to have many hits on the countdown or something like that. Well, Casey was wrong. Lol. That line he said didn’t age well.

(Fabian's Wiki doesn't even list it under "unmade projects"!) Another item in Fabian's filmography that did get made (though not that widely seen) was "Soul Hustler", originally titled "That Lovin' Man Jesus", filmed in 1971 and only given a limited release two years later. Among his co-stars in it was Casey Kasem, who took his first-ever week off from AT40 to film it, as he explained in the intro to the 11/13/71 countdown, one week after Dave Hull became the show's first guest host. Casey and Fabian also appeared together in the self-explanatory "Disco Fever", in 1978.

That line he said didn’t age well. Isn't that odd though? It sure seemed at the time like Julian was poised for a strong career in pop music, but he really only lasted two albums (three if you count his 1989 release that flopped). I'm always surprised that "Stick Around" didn't end up being a bigger hit, but that was really it for him.

...and now we're back to 1999. Whoever's doing this, STOP IT! I know, right? Someone must want to keep their post count as low as possible. After doing a little research involving page archives I created yesterday of the five most recent pages (1995-1999), I suspect that it's likely an issue with Proboards where it can't handle a thread hitting the 2000-page mark. As an example, the post that's currently at the top of this page as I'm writing this... ...was the sixth post on this page when I archived it yesterday.
