So I might be commenting on a show that is not this week's show? This has to be the only time in AT40 history that the song that was #1 in the special that Casey promoted was played in the current show. Talking about the second LDD "Hey Jude". Although for a moment I thought I was going to be hearing both of Neil Young's 1972 top 40 hits in this week's shows. "Old Man" was in the 70s A show and when Casey read the LDD which mentioned the grandmother having a heart of gold, his #1 hit came to mind. It also means that 2 hits that spent 9 weeks at #1 were played in the same hour, though one had yet to reach that status. Was this the show where after reading the letter Casey said they had called either the family or the hospital and reported that the grandmother was doing well? If so I actually remember hearing this show and LDD. That being said, thanks for the heads-up. That will be my bathroom break this week as while I tolerated "Hey Jude" in 1981 (that may actually have been the first time I had ever heard it) I absolutely CAN'T STAND IT now. Speaking of which - is it me, or did WWIS cut to a commercial break before the song was even over with?

I don't know how many of you are on Facebook, but this random story popped up in my feed, and it's Bruce Springsteen telling his version the story Casey told about Bruce in the show from 6/27/81 about Bruce killing time between concerts in DENVER by going to a movie, and meeting a boy in the theater lobby who asked Bruce to come home with him to meet his parents after the show. Except in Bruce's telling of the story it happened in St. Louis, and he looked up that family each time he returned to St. Louis. Hope this link works. FB link: www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=372783722466119&set=a.258422927235533According to brucebase.wikidot.com/, a website that chronicles Springsteen's live concerts, this happened in St. Louis when Springsteen played two shows there in October 1980, although Springsteen has apparently erroneously stated in at least one interview that it was in Denver.

Hi,kani-A slight correction on the artist who originally recorded "Sukiyaki"-His name was Kyu Sakamoto-He died in a plane crash in 1985.

Luther Vandross had a hit with "Don't Want To Be a Fool" in 1991 at the same time as Aaron Neville hit with a remake of "Everybody Plays the Fool". And that's not to get to the hits that have used some adaptation of the word, such as foolish or fooling.
