Well, gee...it's working for me now. It's down again (for me.) Wonder why it keeps going down for you. It worked again for me.

Of note, in last and this week’s shows (1986 and 1980) we got the same story about ZZ Top’s mysterious three year disappearance from 1976-79.
In 1980 Casey said that the band wouldn’t tell anyone what they were doing that time (except growing the long beards that became a trademark), but by 1986 they had filled in some details about their activities during the long layoff.

And then later one of the members of the group got rid of his beard. The guy who did that was Frank Beard.

Re: Captain and Tennille's three biggest hits. Two are correct, but the staff seemingly forgot about four singles in a row in '75-'76 that all charted higher than "You Never Done It Like That": "The Way I Want To Touch You", "Lonely Night", "Shop Around, and everyone's favorite, "Muskrat Love". I'm not sure how they got that either. The four 1975-76 songs mentioned all peaked at #3 or #4, while "You Never Done It Like That" only got to #10, and its 22 week chart run wasn't so exceptionally long as to clearly put it out in front even using the methodology Billboard used in compiling its year end charts.

I think the writer at AT40 got lazy and just looked at number of weeks on the chart. "You Never Done It Like That" was on the Hot 100 22 weeks. "Muskrat Love" was on the Hot 100 20 weeks, and the Captian & Tennille's other top 10s were on the Hot 100 less weeks. But, if a point system is applied, love it or hate it, "Muskrat Love" is their 3rd biggest hit. "Loney nights" could be considered their 3rd biggest hit going by peak position.

I predict 3/26/88 for the weekend of March 23. It did last air in 2019 (a going thing it seems) and the 1987 show aired too recently.

Tiny pet peeve. In the 1984 show, there was a dedication from a grandson to his grandfather, very sweet. Except it was “Every Breath You Take” by The Police. Why you ask? Well, sadly the Grandfather had trouble breathing and had to be taken to the hospital and thought for some bizarre reason “Every Breath You Take” was appropriate. Well, it has nothing to do with “breathing” it’s a breakup song or at the very least mildly stalkerish (“Oh can’t you see/You belong to me”). It drives me nuts when people don’t listen to the lyrics. Hello, it’s right there in the Chorus “Every breath you take/Every move you make/I’ll be watching you”. Glad the Grandfather was doing better but couldn’t you have picked a better song?

I was wondering about a 1987 show being the "B" show to 1981, then I realized that the last 1987 show aired in January, so the next one is due. Still, it could happen, as the 3/21/87 show was last played two years back and the 3/28 show - a "B" show last year, so the next one might not be until April (4/4) - so the 3/14/87 show as a "B" could still happen). Or 3/21 is possible, as, though rare, it is not unheard of for shows to air two years apart (in fact, it happened with the aforementioned April, 1987 show five years ago).

WFMX's random show last night was from 3/14/87.

That's what I was thinking. Then, maybe 4/4/1987 the first weekend in April. So the "B" show to go with next week's 1981 could be the same date in 1987.

"Every Breath You Take" isn't mildly stalkerish. It is stalkerish. Sting even said the lyrics were awful because of that.
