In the 1983 show Casey talks about the futuristic song by Prince “1999”. 1999 seemed so far away and I’m sure we thought there would be flying cars and robots. Hell, I can’t believe it’s 2024.

I'm guessing the weekend of July 20-21, 2024 could be July 21, 1984 (the only available non guest hosted Casey AT40: The 80's show that has Tony Carey's "The First Day of Summer" in it).

I would not be surprised if "If This Is It" Huey Lewis & The News, which is one week from the countdown, is an optional extra next week.

And that 2015 airing was a B show (with a 1985 A!), its last airing as the main show was in 2010.

He also mentioned: 2001: A Space Odyssey, future year as well. Of course as of 2024, there wasn't flying cars, but there's self driving cars possibly.

The Jetsons cartoon show from the 60s had flying cars, robots and people talked on video phones. First two didn't happen but the last one did.

Yay! After a 14-year wait, the “Casey’s Ghost to Ghost” show finally gets another spin.

I remember hearing this show when they played it in 2015. And I'm pretty sure they play the album version of "She Bop" instead of the single version.

Casey says that "Stairway to Heaven" probably would have hit #1 had it been released and that it is an 8 minute song. Would have been interesting if that had happened since another 8 minute song did hit #1 back then.."American Pie". If Stairway was released as the first single instead of "Black Dog" which debuted on 12/25/71, it might have replaced Pie at #1. Pie would still be the longest #1 hit at the time as it was about 20 seconds longer than Stairway.

And Radio and Records did not yet exist in 1971, but if there was R&R in 1971, would "Stairway to Heaven" have hit #1 on R&R? I bet "Stairway to Heaven" never even made the Cash Box or Record World charts. I wonder how it fared on radio stations WABC New York City, WLS Chicago, and WCFL Chicago local airplay charts back in 1971?

This #1 talk assumes pop radio would have played the song in heavy rotation. In 1971, "Black Dog" didn't even make the top 10. Considering what was popular in late '71/early '72 when Stairway might've been released, I'm not sure it would have had enough plays to hit the top: "Theme From Shaft," "Family Affair," "Brand New Key," and "American Pie." Considering Led Zep was an album act and their fans purchased the album when it came out, I'm not sure sales would have been enough to send it to #1, either. I think the song's legendary status is something it has gained over time and not immediately bestowed on it when the album came out.

Consider that the Zep standard "Rock and Roll" only reached #47 when released as the follow-up to "Black Dog". As 'commercial' or more than the first single from 'LZ4' aka 'ZoSo'. I'm always amazed that "Whole Lotta Love" reached #4 the first week of Feb. 1970. Zeppelin's sole top 10 single.
