Very sad to hear of the death of Bill withers today  ,hope we can have a AT40 extra tribute to the great artist Next time Premiere slates an AT40: The 70's 1971 or 1972 or 1978 show (or 1981 for AT40: The 80's). For 1971, I'll go with: "Ain't No Sunshine" "Want Ads" "Harper Valley P.T.A." For 1978, I'll go with: "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" "Take A Chance On Me" "Lovely Day" |

Listening to KLFM right now. Have to say that one of their local ads, the one for the nursery that has copy including "..in these trying times..." and "...come see us while you still can..." made me immediately think of the apocalyptic 1959 film/1957 novel "On the Beach". Which, incidentally, was set in and around Melbourne, Victoria...Anyone else understand this reference or m I too old? Just kind of eerie, if you know the film and/or novel.

Didn't get that reference, as I've never read "On the Beach". I remember some English classes when I was in junior/senior high school reading it, but not mine. Though somebody at KLFM should have taken another look at the chart. "Space Oddity" was played as an "optional extra" at the end of hour 2--shortly after it was heard in the countdown. It was then immediately followed by Premiere's designated extra "My Love". |

"Can't Get It Out Of My Head" got the 'double play' treatment the week before on the '75 show. As for "On the Beach", it was one of the few cases where I thought the movie (which stars Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, and Anthony Perkins) captures the novel it is based on quite well. Surprised I haven't seen it show up on Turner Classic Movies during this stay-at-home time. Pretty depressing movie, though: (spoiler alert) Everyone dies or is about to die at the end. |

1971-If you're in quarantine with a small group of people and if you haven't been to the grocery store lately, you might be in trouble next week if your name is Tim. 1978-Forget about the "Fever". It will be even more depressing listening to "Dust In The Wind" by Kansas. At least we'll get to hear "Rocket Ride" again. |

Maybe after COVID-19 subsides there may be a remake reboot of the "On The Beach" movie. |

I just noticed HOW MANY disco songs are on the charts from 4/14/79... Yes. Right at the peak. I count 18 disco or disco-ish songs. Casey said 15 disco songs. Depending on how one classifies them I got up to 19 disco-type songs, which includes not only pure disco but disco-styled pop, danceable funk, and even go-go--from (where I am) local hero Chuck Brown, whose classic "Bustin' Loose" appears in the optional first hour. |

As a geographer, Casey's a good radio host (or just blame it on the staff): In the '79 show, when welcoming two new stations in The Phillipines, Casey puts the archipelago in the 'South' Pacific. The islands are situated between about 5 and 20 degrees NORTH latitude...  |

4/14/73 now starting on KLFM. Incidentally, 10 PM Eastern is their regular start time from now until the end of September. Looking forward to hearing it on WMGN tonite. It's really quite a cornucopia of "Forgotten 45s". Only one song in the first hour -- "Reeling in the Years" -- gets *any* radio play these days. |

Indeed, I counted 20 (!), including Mr Brown. I'd love to know which ones Casey didn't consider disco-y enough. |
