KOKZ is killing me today with the choppy stream! Bad weekend for KOKZ...they've been my favorite station for both the 70s and 80s lately, but their stream was not good for either show. Hopefully they get that fixed soon...

Great "pioneers of symphonic rock" bit by Casey on the 10/15/1983 show as the intro for the Moody Blues' "Sitting At The Wheel" at #27. And even though "Sitting At The Wheel" has always sounded (to me, anyway) as the Moodies' attempt to sound like ELO, does anybody happen to notice that John Lodge seemed to get some inspiration from Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty"?

Never noticed the similarity to the Browne song, but to me the song sounded like an updated "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)" from ten years earlier.

I always thought "Gemini Dream" sounded just like ELO. Ironically, when it was on the chart in 1981 ELO simultaneously hit with "Hold On Tight", where they tried out a different, rockabilly-type sound.

Normally I have about as much use for the Long Distance Dedication letters as paul does but I'm vary curious about the "I Just Can't Help Believing" LDD. I heard the tease saying it was from a woman who worked at an ice cream parlor to one of her customers but what was her story? My computer froze halfway through Telefone and by the time I got the stream back BJ Thomas had already started singing. I'm also always impressed anytime the song requested was from more than a couple of years earlier.
On the same note (no pun intended) I'm surprised they used the "Every Breath You Take" LDD that week and didn't save it for the next week. It was obvious that EBYT was probably in its last week (it was) and since the letter writer obviously liked the song I would have saved it so they could heard it on AT40 one more time. The absence of an extra song to play as an LDD is presumably what allowed them to play "Start Me Up" as an Extra.

Basically, it was about one of her favorite customers who daily came into the ice cream parlor that she worked at and she developed feelings for him. I seem to remember that she was meaning to tell him how she felt, but couldn't get up the courage, but I might be blurring that with another LDD that I heard recently.

Prediction for next week's show:
1st Guess - 10/25/86 2nd Guess - 10/27/84
Seems like 1986 would be a good bet for next week. Going with 1984 as the 2nd guess in the event that they do play two 1984 shows in October as they did with 1977 in July...

If what AMFMDX said was true, about new shows, then it has to be 10/27/84 for the last week in October. The only way that it could not be, besides inaccurate information, would be if 1982 or 1986 were the year-end show for this year. Yes, both shows were aired in 2009, but only the second halves. Since 2010, they have been running full Top 100 programs, so part 1 of either would technically be a new show (especially 1982, which was run in two parts, while the original run of the 1986 year-ender was a one-part eight hour marathon). In other words, if 10/27/84 is not run this year, then we know the rest of the "new" shows that will be aired, as well as the fact that 1982 or 1986 will be this year's YE show.

The guy died from a poison cone?

The guy died from a poison cone? It was a summer job in a vacation spot, so the writer went back to school and the guy went back to wherever he was from and that was it. On a totally unrelated note, did anyone notice that the past 5 "A" shows contained a song by Sheena Easton. (Although it must be noted that two of the shows contained Telefone.)

I'd be great with that if they played 10/27/84. I originally had that show penciled in for the last weekend in October until they played 10/6/84, but no complaints if they did two '84 shows in October...
