And, incidentally, 60 on 6 is doing a countdown of the top hits of spring 1970 this weekend, covering the immediate pre-AT40 period. Sometime over the holiday weekend there should be a replay of the July 1970 debut, as that’s usually played as a special some time on or near July 4.

During this weeks show Casey talks about the upcoming Women Of The Rock Era, songs about women. During that special one of the songs included is Gordon Lightfoot's "Sundown" which Casey says is about "a woman Gordon calls, Sundown". Until I heard Casey say that, I NEVER interpreted the song that way. I always heard it as he was in a relationship with a woman but he was saying that things were fine until the sun went down. This is why he says "Sundown, you better take care if I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs". He's actually referring to the time of day sundown. In an interview he once said that the song was written about a girlfriend he had and how she would go would go out at night while he was home writing songs. This again seems to support my theory of the song. Maybe I'm wrong, but as I said, until I heard the special and Casey say that I never thought that Sundown was supposed to be the girls name.

Sundown was the nickname of Gordon's girlfriend at the time, Cathy Smith, who goes out on the town after sunset and Gordon always wondered what she was doing when they weren't together. Cathy eventually ended up with John Belushi and was reportedly with John when she injected him with a mix of cocaine and heroin, which led to his death.

The entire Top 5 of the chart is all female. I think this was the only time this happened. If anyone wants a spoiler, check the UMD for 6-30-79. I am hoping it will be On Demand as it has great music from Donna Summer, Kenny Rogers, Elton John, Earth Wind and Fire just to name a few.

There sure is a drought for 1971--last played in April! If they follow their normal trend within the next few weeks should be a '71 show.

1971 would work well next week, as it isn’t one of the many years that had a special countdown in early July to work around.
