Say what you will about it, but I have a strong, strong affinity for “Born To Run,” the song and the album. #AT40

“Skyhigh,” famously from the movie “Man From Hong Kong” starring one time James Bond, George Lazenby. #AT40

#AT40 “He came from somewhere back in his long ago…”

Guess Who and Poppy Family from Canada. Who’s gonna pay the tariffs on these imports? #AT40

“Spirit in the Sky” as the song after #AT40 brings joy. Pointing to the sky for a friend and all around good person we lost this year.

Really need to see America before they call it quits next year. The band, not the country. I think. I hope. #AT40

Chicago “Old Days” is just one of those songs. The little kid in me feels this song to my core. Damn. #AT40

Only EWF’s Maurice White could make a receding hairline cool AF. #AT40

A Steve Miller “Rock N Me” lyric told through flags. #AT40

Geez, Helen Reddy. I understand. #AT40

This ONJ song sounds like a theme song right out of a seventies sitcom. #AT40

Since June, I’ve been managing health issues and taking corticosteroids. Each day is a struggle where even a beautiful distraction like #AT40 couldn't compete with the pain and side effects so I stepped away. Appreciate your concern. It means a lot! Hope to be back to my old self with you very soon.

Just in time for “Reeling in the Years.” #AT40

The Aretha Franklin concert documentary “Amazing Grace” is well worth seeing. Quite transformative. #AT40

Pablo Cruise with necessary advice about moving on. #AT40

a republican congressman allegedly broke his two-year-old daughter's collarbone and he somehow hasn't been run out of congress. there really is no bridge too far for these ghouls.

This Kenny Rogers song sounds so much like some of what Jimmy Buffett put out during this period of time (i.e. the “Margaritaville” years. #AT40

“Mr. Blue Sky” will forever be a favorite because it was the song playing over a loudspeaker when I picked my daughter up from her first sleep away summer camp years ago after not seeing her for a month. #AT40

Let’s get this party started! #AT40

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social What a remarkable interview with Bethany Miller. You asked some great questions backed by an informed understanding of Christ and scripture. Amazing work! @siriusxmprog.bsky.social

@bobcesca.bsky.social Listening to an eighties station and the song “Obsession,” by Animotion is playing and with the chorus I’m singing “Bionic Dan Bidondi’s Italian Deli.” Thanks for searing that in my brain so many years ago!!!

And just from a dad’s perspective, it seems to me one of the explicit aims here is to make black girls feel like they are ugly. Like why else are you angry about a black little mermaid. And yes I take that shit personal.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

“Smoke on the Water” What a time to be alive. #AT40

Okay. I’m easily influenced. Maureen McGovern seals it. Movie night tonight will be “The Poseidon Adventure” on AMC+. #AT40

Yeah, I am fond of “Misdemeanor.” It’s a nice little bop I can move to. #AT40

THE ODYSSEY's instantly, predictably enormous success is Exhibit #32176 that the right wing's grievance-farming operation is not some great American cultural shift. Most people don't give a shit about their petty crusades.

At parties my mom went to and kids were invited in the mid-seventies, there was always at least one young couple, dressed fashionably who could do The Hustle and didn’t mind showing it off when the song was played. #AT40

Good Kentucky Whiskey on the counter! @mizzoh.bsky.social Probably not a good idea for me at the moment. #AT40

“Magic” is one of those songs I will never, ever get tired of hearing. #AT40

In the Black community “The Rockford Files” was appreciated because they had Black characters with substance and depth, dismissing many of the TV police procedure stereotypes of the day. And Isaac Hayes, of course. #AT40

“Bullshit”!!! Casey went there, huh! #AT40

I live in MD and went outside. I feel like I'm in SoCal during fire season again. It used to be in SoCal, fire season was late Sept until mid-late Oct. Now it's basically anytime.

Though stylistically different hit versions of ”How Can You Mend A Broken Heart,” the song is beautifully rendered by both Al Green and the Bee Gees. #AT40

The Ink Spots. Fred Sanford would be happy. #AT40

SiriusXM's Lisa Evans and her longtime on-air (in Winnipeg) and real life partner Ryder are getting married today. Sending congrats from the #AT40 gang.

@justinhelmer.bsky.social Listening to Frets this morning (with coffee) is good for the soul. Thank you.

There's a perverse symbolism in the legacy of White racism sheltering under the bowers of all African Americans have done for this country while patiently waiting for the chance to go back to insisting we are a drain upon their society and that they never needed us at all.

Some videos speak for themselves

This soul music back-to-back-to-back-to-back is giving me life! “Diamond in the back sun roof top, digging the scene with the gangsta lean!” #AT40

I am so in love with Mike Sammes’ bass vocals on these ONJ songs that it is almost all I ever hear next to her wonderful voice. #AT40

Gladys from the sublime “Claudine” soundtrack. #AT40

“Automatic, systematic Full of color, self-contained Tune that channel to your vibes!”#AT40

“All I Need (Is The Air That I Breathe) is one of the most extraordinary love songs of the decade. Hands down. #AT40

“He's got this dream about buying some land He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands And then he'll settle down in some quiet little town And forget about everything” Sadly, Gerry couldn’t give up the booze, dying of liver failure in 2011. #AT40

Whether it’s the Pointer Sisters, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band or Patti Smith, covers or remakes of Bruce Springsteen songs just rock. #AT40

I need more flugelhorn, Mr. Mangione. I’ve got the feeling for the flavor of more flugelhorn! #AT40
