Seems like there's something in common with the age bit, and the conclusion I've come to is this: Madonna, Belinda Carlisle, Prince, and Michael Jackson all have something in common besides Casey stating their age as two years younger than they are. And that is, all of them were born in 1958. He gave their ages at multiple times as if they all were born in 1960. If Prince was born in 1960, he would have hit the Hot 100 the first time in December 1979 as a 19 year old, young adult/post teenage.

Some of that may have been deliberate shaving years off their age by the artists' publicists. In an MTV, youth-obsessed culture, artists may have felt pressure to be seen as young as possible.

Very true in Laura Branigan's case. 5 years magically gone: 1952 actual birth year, 1957 was in her bio for years. But it didn't start in the '80s. Frankie Valli's stated age was three years less than his actual age in the '60s heyday of The Four Seasons. 1934/1937.

He was born in 1944 but most sources will state he was born in 1949.

I predict 9/19/87 for the week of September 14 since it's been almost 3 months since the last 1987 standalone.

Madonna,Belinda Carlisle & I are Leos. Me too 🙋‍♀️!! Proud Leo here!! Casey talking about Peter Gabriel being “political” and then playing a song like “Sledgehammer” that is all about sex. I remember singing along to that song as a little kid not knowing until I was older that it was about sex. My parents were horrified by the lyrics but I loved it lol. Now it’s very risky if you’re political. The current climate is so toxic and polarized. It really is sad.

Woah that LDD from “Angie” was heavy. Glad “Jim” met his natural father but man, what a sad life Jim must have had. “Jim” would be the same age as my mom which is really wild.

They did that with Mariah Carey as well. She was born in 1969 but most sources in the 1990s, including the Whitburn books, said she was born in 1970.

Another oddly timed show, as 9/20/80 would seemingly fit better the following weekend (9/21-22). That suggests that the show scheduled for that weekend is one originally dated after the 20th; 9/21/85, 9/24/83, or 9/25/82 (not an A since 2010) would make sense.
The year we haven't heard as an A in the longest is 1987 which hasn't been played as such since June. 9/19/87 would work for the following weekend but I don't think they'll play it after a 9/20 dated show, and 9/26/87 was played last year, so probably no 1987 standalones until October.
