Forbes writer listens to AT40 the 70s

Bob Cook, a contributing writer for Forbes Magazine on the subject of sports and leisure, mentions listening to AT40 the 70s in this piece he wrote recently about what he says is the worst sports song ever.

The article was so negative toward David Geddes, I had to post a rebuttal.

I've read the article & heard the song he's referencing. This is a clear example why people with cold hearts should never comment on sentimental songs. This guy seems like he's got no class & deserves a coal in his stocking.

I don't mind "The Last Game of the Season". It's sentimental and arguably kind of sappy, but decent; I like it better after hearing the 11/29/75 AT40 in which Casey told the songwriter's (not Geddes) story behind it. It's vastly better than "Run Joey Run" (wonder if anyone's ever thought to play that when a kid named Joey rounds the bases? That would be a tastelessly bad misinterpretation of a bad song).

I admit, though, I agree with the author on "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep."
