#AT40 8-13-77 we’re packing up our house to move from IN to noVA the following week, first long distance move of my then 15 years. This countdown brings back a lot of thoughts. Not the least of which is that I don’t remember many of these songs that summer.

#AT40 me on my bike with Barracuda blasting on a transistor radio riding through the neighborhood

#AT40 May 1975 finishing up 7th grade, pushing the lawn mower through the neighborhood for my first “job”, riding my bike all over the area with the transistor radio on, not a bad summer!

Was going to say the same thing #AT40

#AT40 had no idea Leo Sayer wrote this - you can certainly hear him in it

#AT40. That was an ugly cut to end of American Pie

#AT40 This BTO tune is one of the exceptions, in the middle of 7th grade in 75, but today's countdown reminds me that this was about the time I really changed over from AM to FM lstening in NE Indiana - had the opportunity to also listen to CKLW, WLS, and WCFL for a different sound.

Yeah, THAT’S the reason sales are down…NYT “Morning” newsletter today: The Chinese automaker BYD surpassed Tesla as the world’s biggest seller of electric cars. Tesla’s sales dropped 9 percent in 2025, after Congress and Trump eliminated tax credits that had encouraged Americans to buy those cars.

And includes Let It Be - quite the decade.

#at40 A couple great songs to cleanse the palate after no. 3

#AT40 knew that teaser was going to be Bruce. Not that we ever heard this on the radio in north east Indiana!

Missing my point - that’s not a real word!

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social headline on Karen Tumulty’s column in WaPo today “Democrats take off the gloves on redistricting — but could it backfire?”

#AT40 July 1977 just finished freshman year of HS, started packing up the house for our move from our home for most of my life in Indiana to northern Virginia in August. Many of these songs already bringing back those memories.

#AT40 June 71, I was 9, first airplane flights on a quick weekend trip to STL for Dad to get his PhD. Mom made the vests (we were not fans...)

#AT40 Beginning with American Graffiti

Vietnam and Nixon’s resignation brought out a mess of nostalgia for the 50’s. They weren’ all Happy Days. #AT40

#AT40 Played the entire album start to finish SO MANY TIMES. Underappreciated work that was overwhelmed by Rhapsody

#AT40 Also mentioned in the Molly Hatchet song that references as bunch of southern rock bands "Gator Country"

#AT40 - never heard this one before

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Allman’s!! #AT40

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

#AT40 just left the car wash and they had AT40 on in the lobby so I didn’t miss a thing.

#AT40 13 year old me running to the radio to change the station every time Sedaka comes on...

#AT40 Edits throughout today, even ELO - was that even 2 minutes?

#AT40 Did he just add a ninth "British act" after saying eight a couple times earlier? Apparently that's his countdown within a countdown?

Full moon, clear skies, very cold this morning.

Could have made a lot of money a year ago if I would’ve bet a Montana State-USC basketball game would be on the Big Ten Network.

What is this "vod-ker" he speaks of? #AT40

When the votes are all counted, Trump will likely end up with the narrowest margin of victory since 2000. And it's probably in large part because a lot of 2020 Biden voters stayed home. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

@chrisdobbertean.net Noted on your conference tournament site, tonight’s CAA game at 8:30 is Delaware-Hofstra, not Drexel
