Dayparting Classic Hits (like in the old days)

There are a lot of people today who don't value their music that way. For them, music is disposable. The music industry has been dealing with this for the past 10-15 years.

That's what they get for spending the last 10-15 years cranking out disposable music.
 
I see nothing racist about David's language remark, but if things are collapsed badly enough that neither Russia nor China (nor a European coalition) can take advantage of the opportunity to take us over, I'd think things would be chaotic enough globally that both NK and Iran would have their hands far too full domestically and on their borders to make it all the way over here in sufficient numbers and with sufficient firepower to be anything more than target practice for our survivalist types (after they finish shooting the rest of us first, of course).
 
If you don't have off-site backup, you don't really have backup.


I don't have any experience with it personally, but, if you trust them not to be evil, or at least not to do so in "the cloud", the prices for Google Drive have just come down way serious big-time.

I was 16 when "Longer" was a hit, and I remember it being the big "wedding song" of the summer of 1980. I believe I was in high school when all of these were hits, except for maybe "The Language of Love." "Longer" is probably the only one on that list that I would still play. "Same Old Lang Syne" gets too much airplay around Christmas, when it is NOT specifically a "Christmas" song. And "drinking a six-pack in your car" (whether while actually driving that car or not) is illegal now. Even the son of a former police chief was arrested for that a time or two.

"Same Old Lang Syne" first got airplay around Christmas of 1980 and the events in the song occur on Christmas Eve (and there's a little musical nod to New Year's Eve near the end), so it may not be a Christmas song but it's a Christmas season song and never fails to remind me of the A&P parking lot in a city that was not my home where I heard it on the car radio for one of, if not the, first times shortly before Christmas of '80.
 
What, no Leader Of The Band?

Gonna stick with what I originally said. It is not specifically a "Christmas" song. It is more of a "winter" song, and yeah, that is when you are more likely to hear it. I seem to recall, the winter that it was a hit, it stayed on the charts until about February of 1981. Although now, in February, you are not likely to hear it because it seems like everyone wants to rush the seasons now.

I don't understand the writing criticism, either. AT40 had staff writers and a style designed to fit the perceived "pomp" needed in a countdown show.

I've seen first hand the amount of mail (remember when people sent letters?) that the dedications got. It was purposely built into the show to promote localization while emphasizing the national scope of the program. They may have been hokey, but they were there for a purpose.

Letters? What are those? :)

Don't have neither. I use my wife's cellphone and use a desktop PC.

Btw, the Akai X-200D RR deck is still working great! And it has lasted 44 years, vs. some of today's junk that can't even last 5. There ya go!

I see your wife's cellphone and raise you my landline (no cellphone in THIS house!) and vinyl records!

If you can, post a picture of your RR deck; you just don't see those anymore!

By the way, this is being written on a desktop PC.
