Guest host Charlie Van Dyke jinxed Kool & The Gang on the 1/10/87 show. He tells a story about how the band reinvented itself to stay relevant during the disco era, and how they went on to become one of the biggest groups around. Within six months, their top 40 career was over.

In a 1975 reverse jinx, Casey said it looked like MMs Wildfire was gonna be much bigger than his 'Cadillac and he was so right. Then he said everything Denver touches turns to gold and 'Country Boy would soon do the same.

On this week's 1985 show Casey said the son of John was on track to be a pretty big star. Julian would scrape the bottom of the top 40 only once more.

Casey even mentioned Cleveland - WGCL was still carrying AT40 for the Cleveland area at the 1986 time - was the home for the upcoming Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame Museum. Will Julian Lennon ever get inducted someday?

Call it the Curse of Mark Elliott. He said on the 1978 show Roberta and Donny looked headed for #1. The Closer I Get would get no closer to the top. Then he said it looked like pop music fans were finally buying into Yvonne Elliman. She scraped the bottom of the top 40 only once more.

In a reverse jinx on last week's 1978 show, Casey said Andy Gibb was trying for three #1s in a row. He would soon be Shadow Dancing at the top.

Last weekend SXM played May 12, 1979, which includes a Tom Rounds jinx on the cue sheet. He wrote "Rod Stewart's "Ain't Love A B---" enters the countdown, and will very likely become Top 10." In fact it only peaked at #22, likely in part due to the title and lyrics that Rounds felt compelled to warn affiliates about.

And it's early chart moves supported that prediction: 40-29-16-10. But then it stalled at 10 on the infamous 'frozen 14' week's chart before stair-stepping up to it's #5 peak, one position at a time.

I liked the way he described that in the last sentence of that paragraph.

On last week's 1979 show Casey said "it is hard to live up to the reputation of a supergroup like Byrds but McGuinn, Clark & Hillman are trying". Don't You Write Her Off would be their only hit.

They only lasted long enough as a unit to release two albums: The first one from which this song is taken, and a second LP, "City", released almost exactly one year later in early 1980. As I recall (used to have both LPs, still have the first one), on the second album it's mostly McGuinn and Hillman with Gene Clark 'featured' on some, but not all, of the tracks. In contrast, The Byrds charted 12 LPs of original material, 11 on Columbia between 1965 and 1971, and a final 'reunion' LP with the original five members on Asylum in 1973. Almost all of the Columbia albums after the first few had differing lineups on them, as the original members left over time. By the beginning of 1969 Roger McGuinn was the only original member left, as this chart on their Wiki entry indicates: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Byrds

Casey was at it again in 1980! He said Headed For A Fall might be about to fulfill its prophecy. Firefall would collapse to #69 in the next panel. Then he said Dore was on her way. Charlie would never spend another week in the top 40.

On AT40: The 70's 5/26/1973, Casey said Dobie Gray had his biggest hit ever with "Drift Away", but Dobie never made the top 40 after that (Too bad Dobie's original "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" in 1979 later covered by Heart in 1990 never got released as a single nor radio airplay, but should have!)
