Not a power outage. Spectrum has decided that today is a good day to have an outage. I'm working it but I don't believe it will be back up until later this afternoon. Spectrum - the cable company? Yes, the one and only.

Looking up more information on Rosa Rio following Casey's story, I see that she died just last year at the age of 107! I was gonna say the same thing! You don't hear of too many people lasting that long unless they're in Guinness and happen to be the oldest living person at the time.

I'll go with 9/15/79 over 9/14/74 for next weekend. 9/15/79 last aired in 2012. For the B show, I'll go with 9/19/70. Peteski's dropping hints 9/20/75, last played 2017

Peteski's dropping hints 9/20/75, last played 2017 Seems a bit soon for more 1975, given that less than a month ago we got an A and a B from that year back to back (some stations played both.) But I won't complain about Premiere playing the show from my birth week, which they've only done once, 10 years into this series.

If 9/20/1975 is next weekend's AT40: The 70's A show entry, will it be standalone or will it be an A show with a B show TBD?

Everything from 1970-75 has had a B the last few years, so I don’t see that changing, even if B’s for 1975 seem dubiously needed. So there will likely be an alternate choice from 1977, 78, or 79 (1976 having been this week’s B.)

That would obviously be a good time for a Jimmy Buffett tribute, though that would preferably be part of an A show. Something like “A Pirate Looks At Forty” might work for 1975, as it’s a popular song (though not a chart single) from his album A1A, which was on the charts that year.

"My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, and I Don't love Jesus". Although the LP that leads off with that little ditty, "Havana Daydreaming", wouldn't come out until right after 1975 turned into 1976. I liked him so much more when he was just a quirky singer-songwriter and not a 'lifestyle'. Although I don't begrudge him his massive financial success in becoming such.

There will be a B show to go with this or not? 09/15/79 So this coming weekend will be the eighth consecutive one where:
1) Premiere is offering a 1970s "B" show (in other words, there's no "A" show between January 1976 and September 1978); and
2) The "B" show is another regular weekly countdown (not a Christmas countdown, year-end show, or special for a holiday weekend).
That's the longest such streak in "American Top 40: The 70's" history.
