Okay, I literally laughed at Robert Palmer’s “likes and dislikes”. His “likes” include: Dolphins,Italian Suits and Prince. “Dislikes”: Working during the day and being photographed. That’s what I love about AT40 these random and weird factoids lol. Makes me wonder if Prince ever sang his song "Dolphin" while wearing an Italian suit.

One of the songs debuting on 8/6/88 was "Another Part Of Me" by Michael Jackson. It had originally surfaced in 1986 when an early mix was used in "Captain EO" a 3-D short film shown at EPCOT Center at Walt Disney World. Did Shadoe ever mention this during the chart run of the song? I don't have anything like that for the song's run in my notes.

Nevermind the sturm und drang about what Casey said in his final (kinda-ish) AT40 sign-off... what was up with the goofy way he pronounced "Me" when announcing "Pour Some Sugar On Me".... "muh-ay"?

I listened to this show not long after hearing one of the early 1970 shows on SXM, so I thought, "Whoa, a callback to early Excitable Casey!"

What's the "B" show this weekend? My guess is 8/17/1985.

I would not be surprised if "Hearts on Fire" by Randy Meisner is an optional extra next week. "Take It to the Limit" by Eagles could be an optional extra if 1975 "A"(when song was released) or 1976 "B"(when song peaked) is featured next weekend. That could explain why "Deep Inside My Heart" was passed over for this weekend.
Obviously, if Premiere inserts "Deep Inside My Heart" at the last minute, it would rule out "Hearts on Fire" for next week.
