This week: September 24, 1977.
In this show, leading into "Jungle Love" (at #24), Casey says we have a new #1 ("Best of My Love") but qualifies it by saying that it returns to the top after a few weeks (actually one week) out. Honestly, short of mentioning title or artist that was about as close as he could get to a giveaway of that week's #1 less than halfway through the show, at least for anyone paying attention to the chart.

That was odd, at the end of this weeks show Casey announces the #1's on the other charts. He says the #1 song on the country charts was "Blood Red And Runnin'" by Tanya Tucker. That's not the name of the song. It's "Blood Red And Goin' Down". That title did cause some radio stations at the time to not want to play it because of what they feared it was about, they figured it was something obscene. Once they listened though they realized it is reference to the setting sun. The song, for anyone who cares, is your typical early 1970's story songs that Cher was doing so well with. It tells the story of a cheating wife who is murdered along with the guy she is messing around with by her husband. The song is told by the ten year old daughter who witnessed the whole thing. The title that Casey gave it, and quite possibly the title programmers were calling it at the time, doesn't make any sense at all.

Premiere is airing 1979 this weekend. SXM is due, but I don't think it will be next weekend, could be the following weekend though.

I'm glad that SXM and Premiere don't play the exact same show on the same weekend. Fortunately I believe that practice ended back in 2010.

October 23, 1976 this week. Thus coming dangerously close to duplicating Premiere, which is playing the previous week's show (10/16/76). Their 80s show also replicates Casey, in this case the same week in 1982.

Not sure it has ever happened this way before. Usually if the 2 series play back to back shows the same week, it is SXM that playes the prior week because they tend to play shows from before the anniversary date whereas Premiere tends to play shows from after that date. In fact, while Premiere played 10/13/79 last week, it was in 2011 IIRC that on the same weekend, SXM played that show while Premiere played the 10/20/79 show as an example of how these back to back week deals usually work.

This week: October 27, 1979.
For those with Sirius XM access, I especially recommend hearing this one. A full four hour show (minus commercials), with no pre-1970s songs to be edited out. And Premiere has never played it thus far. It includes one of the funniest Long Distance Dedications ever, to Leif Garrett after he claimed that he read "Playboy" for the interviews and not the centerfolds, which the letter writer didn't believe. (Requested song: ABBA's "Does Your Mother Know?")

(Requested song: ABBA's "Does Your Mother Know?") According to this article from the Tampa Bay Times Rays radio voice Andy Freed listens every week and this show prompted a text from Freed to Cubs Manager Joe Maddon, who of course used to manage the Rays and is also a fan of the show. Freed was listening to 10/27/79 and immediately thought of the 1979 World Series when the Pirates, who had adopted "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge as their team song, did what the Cubs are trying to do--come back from a 3 games to 1 deficit to win the Fall Classic and win the final two games on the road. www.tampabay.com/sports/baseball/ml/rays-broadcaster-freed-shares-good-omen-with-cubs-maddon/2300692 |
