So that's a hint the year end countdown for New Year's and start of 2024 could be the Top 100 of 1983 (standalone)?

John Lennon wasn’t the only departed musician celebrated in the 12/13/80 show. Casey also saluted Harry Chapin for his anti-hunger efforts, not knowing that Harry would be gone less than a year later. (And IMO the praise of Ralph Nader hasn’t worn too well since 2000, but I digress…)

I thought "Sequel" was a great follow up to "Taxi"-Too bad it stalled at # 23.

Starting a LDD with “my life has been one gigantic disaster” is a way to get your letter chosen, I guess.
Casey mentions that Barbra Streisand held the record for artist with most number one albums, well Taylor Swift has recently surpassed her, with 12 number one albums.

This was the first I'd heard Premiere's version of 12/13/1980, and if I have one quibble with it, it's a simple matter of how they merged the #5/LDD segment with the #4 segment form the original show.
I know over on the 1970s shows Premiere has taken the time to reformat the commercial breaks for many of their shows, but in this case I think there could have been a case made to put #5/LDD contiguous to the previous block of songs and let #4 be a standalone segment. Not that it would have been jarring to come out of the LDD (a slower tempo love song) and into the introduction to "(Just Like) Starting Over", but Casey's voice just sounds so different (lower, softer, more somber) introducing Lennon that even if you didn't know the circumstances of it's recording, it still stands out from the original recording session.

Regarding last weekend's 12/13/1980 show besides Casey's John Lennon mourning, Casey mentioned to tie in with John Cougar other top 40 acts mentioning/named after cats. Among them: Cat Mother and the All Night Newsboys, Kitty Kallen, Kitty Wells, and Cat Stevens. Post 1980 we had other top 40 acts named after cats - The Stray Cats, Glass Tiger, Def Leppard, and White Lion. I wonder if Cat Power ever made Ryan Seacrest AT40 as of the late 2000's or the 2010's decade.
There was also one other cat named act Casey never mentioned that never made the top 40: Josie and the Cats (Based on a 1970's Hanna-Barbera cartoon where in it Casey was the voice of Alexander Cabot, which was adapted from an Archie comic book series).
