A song like "Mr.Custer" would be subject to cancel culture in 2024.

There is nothing remotely funny or entertaining about "Mr. Custer." What were they thinking? How did that hit #1? Written by Al De Lory, most famous for producing Glen Campbell and playing with the Beach Boys on "Pet Sounds" as well as various Phil Spector productions. Not coincidentally, he never wrote another hit. I guess I've never heard this show before, because if I'd heard Mr. Custer before, I'm pretty sure I'd have remembered it. Not just offensive, if it wasn't, it would still be awful.

Since 1981 is coming up next week, that makes me wonder when the last time that the three early-80s shows were played back to back to back was? The last time I could find similar to this (1980-82 as A's in three consecutive weeks) was October 10, 17, and 24, 2020, when 10/11/80, 10/17/81, and 10/24/82 were A's. I seem to remember that it also happened in the American Top 40 Flashback era - in the same order as this time around. The first week in December, 2001, the weekend's show was from 12/4/82, then came 12/6/80 the following week and finally, 12/19/81 the week after that. Kind of weird, especially given how sparingly they used 1980 and 1981 shows during that time.

And a few years later the Footloose movie soundtrack would get 6 top 40 hits from it! Also: Lee Garrett - no relation to Leif "I Was Made For Dancing" Garrett - wrote and produced "Let's Get Serious" by Jermaine Jackson? And ELO comes from Wimbledon, England - home of the famous tennis tournament.

Electric Light Orchestra actually hails from Birmingham, England, has its origins there, Brum Beat!

In Jul 30, 1983, Casey mentions (34 so far, i mean in 1983) that more top 40 was summer.
The Police story, 3 members for blonde hair for chewy gum commercial, to make it look like punk rock style
