Between the 1981 repeat show heard this weekend and the 1975 show heard as part of the 1970s package, this is probably the weekend where, if each program didn't have between them the most country crossover songs, it's close.
1975 * "Please Mr. Please" - Olivia Newton-John. * "Third Rate Romance" - The Amazing Rhythm Aces. * "I'm Sorry" - John Denver. * "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" - Freddy Fender. * "Rhinestone Cowboy" - Glen Campbell.
1981 * "Some Days Are Diamonds (Some Days Are Stone)" - John Denver. * "It's Now Or Never" - John Schneider. * "Ode to Billie Joe" - Bobbie Gentry (as an AT40 archive extra, from 1967). * "Elvira" - Oak Ridge Boys. * "Feels So Right" - Alabama. * "Step By Step" - Eddie Rabbitt. * "I Don't Need You" - Kenny Rogers. * "Queen Of Hearts" - Juice Newton. * "(There's) No Getting Over Me" - Ronnie Milsap.

Any other time, that would be too late, but I happened to notice that KZOY was playing the 1981 show this afternoon, so I can listen to the first hour,''[ Thanks, spock!

So I stand corrected. WRQQ's gone with 1985.

With all the hype made about this week's world-infamous "Snuggles" LDD, did you all notice what I noticed about the show's earlier LDD (from the woman with the drinking problem)? That also was a serious LDD which came after a "G-D uptempo number", "Dancing In The Street" by Bowie & Jagger (which, IMHO, was even more upbeat than "Dare Me"). I'd like to theorize that, if the "Snuggles" LDD was the last straw for Casey, the earlier one was the second-to-last straw. Was I hearing things, or did I hear exasperation in Casey's voice when he started to read that first LDD, as if he was on the verge of losing it then?

Hearing Snuggles: The Final Take for only the second or third time ever just now, I feel like you can still hear the anger and frustration in Casey's voice in the beginning, almost as if he is overdoing it a bit for effect.

I would agree. Of course, initially hearing the show back in 1985 (long before YouTube), I didn't pick up on it (well, realizing all the stuff behind the scenes, anyway). Just hearing the 1985 year-end countdown recently as well, it seems Casey didn't sound as excited/upbeat as he did in the 1984 & 1986 year-ends. Not sure if that means anything, but an observation nonetheless.

Here's an oddity I just found while looking for a station playing the '81 show (no luck with that): WTIC Hartford CT is playing neither the '85 nor the '81 show, but rather the September 3, 1983 show! They're up to #5, so it's almost over.

Finally got to hear "The Dead Dog Dedication" on The Bus. I would like to thank Mike Eiland for the great job he does in his presentation of Classic AT40. Just before "The Dedication", I heard a version of "Scare Me" when I heard Chicago/Genesis before that stanza, as if something went haywire on my internet streaming. I was thinking "Oh No", and I almost had a meltdown myself-LOL! This show definitely topped off my weekend. 1983 Next week (My fave year of the 80's)

Listening to the infamous "Snuggles" show now on KOLA and just heard the first LDD with "Sue" from Fort Lauderdale to her boyfriend "Burgundy" (??). Good observations although I didn't get the sense he was irritated but that could be just me. We know what's coming up.

Just listened to the Snuggles dedication and while it obviously sounds like he's going to lose it at any time (as we've heard in the outtake) it sounds like any other LDD. Hey if we learned anything from the outtake we learned Casey likes the word "d**n" a lot. On another note the dedicated song "Shannon" is depressing as hell. I know that's the point and I feel for Walt and his Daughters, I know how devastated I was when my dog died but still, I had never heard that song before and good god I never want to hear it again. It was odd to come out of "Dare Me" into a sad dedication to a dead dog and then into...Billy Joel's "You're Only Human"?! Now I understand why he was pissed. Man, that must've been a rough day for Casey's staff. I feel for Casey, I can see why he was frustrated with his staff but to lose it like that.
