yeah that rosie being the queen of corona is not something to brag about ( unless paul simon was singing about the weak mexican beer   ) I believe that Corona is a neighborhood in one part of New York City. I note that Casey called the song "Reggy (sic) music" but in fact "Me & Julio" has a Brazilian beat. |

at40nut - I had considered Rex Smith in the group, but felt he was more than just a one hit/disappear artist - especially two decent hits in the beginning - then his collaboration with Rachel Sweet, which you already mentioned. Plus “I think” he also was a host of TV’s “Solid Gold” for a while. Though I noticed you said that spring 1979 was the "last hurrah" for Bad Company. "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" was their last AT40 hit with Paul Rodgers singing, but in the early 1990s they made AT40 and/or CT40 several times with the late Brian Howe up front. (Rodgers, incidentally, made the top 40 in 1985 leading the Firm.) The Brian Howe version of Bad Company had quite a few good songs |

That would be beyond absurd. Do the SJW's and Thought Police run *every* company now?! Unlike with Cosby, wasn't there ACTUAL evidence that Michael Jackson was a crimes-committing degenerate? So they'll be editing-out all of his hits from now on too, I assume. He hit the charts three or four times, I believe. i have no problems with premiere cutting out Little old man ,not beacause of bill cosby and his crimes- but because of it being an appaling song and it being a crime to call it music  It was on the charts. |

If being incarcerated is a new litmus test for deciding which artists' material will be kept in rebroadcasts of Casey's original shows, then someone ought to start deleting any stories about or songs written by, performed by (or produced by): Chuck Berry Gary Glitter Merle Haggard Peter Yarrow Phil Spector John Phillips Ike Turner Rolf Harris James Brown David Crosby Jonathan King Leadbelly (Huddy Ledbetter) Wilson Pickett Billy Preston Freddy Fender Well done you! |

Listening to 5-20-72 on KLFM where we got 2 Horses with no name. The AT40 version was more like a mule. This must be the AT40 show that mentions the ugliest word of 2020 more than once. "Me And Julio Down By The School Yard" says goodbye to Rosie, but it looks like Rosie is going to be hanging around longer than expected. yeah that rosie being the queen of corona is not something to brag about ( unless paul simon was singing about the weak mexican beer ) Corona CA, a city of 150,000 at the western edge of Riverside County, where 'the 15' (Interstate 15, the Corona/Ontario Freeway) crosses 'the 91' (CA State Route 91, the Riverside Freeway), to say it like the Californians do... |

A more likely explanation is that Paul Simon was referring to the Corona neighborhood of Queens, NY (near the current Citi Field and former Shea Stadium), given that he grew up in Queens. |

Yup. You know you've got a different Corona from the song, but it's nice to see someone mention the next town over from me. 😏 |

Two things that struck me about the 5/20/72 show.
Casey kicks off the countdown saying "Let's get it on." This is 14 months before Marvin Gaye would debut in the Hot 100 with his #1 hit using that phrase as the title.
I know that T. Rex and Chase both had hits with "Get It On", but I can't remember how popular the expression "Let's get it on" was before Marvin Gaye's song.
The other thing was the song "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard". It was crawling up the charts on its way to a #22 peak. Thought it should have peaked higher. Then I saw that it charted on Cash Box the same number of weeks (11) but peaked at #7. Quite a discrepancy!

From our "Spoke Too Soon" Department: Casey intro'd "Tumbling Dice" by saying that the Stones were the only act from the '64 British Invasion who were still active on the charts. He even mentioned such no-longer-charting groups as the DC5, the Swingin' Bluejeans and... the Hollies -- who in a month would hit the Hot 100 with what would become their biggest US hit!

I can confirm that it was a popular saying. Distinctly recall at least one of the 'cool/hip kids' writing 'Let's get it on!/'Get it on!' in my 8th grade yearbook at the end of Junior High this time of year in 1972. It was Marvin's smash hit the following year that turned the phrase from something more general into something overtly sexual. |
