Grab a drink and a snack. We're traveling back to this week in 1978 for another Casey Kasem American Top 40 flashback (#AT40). Saturday Night Fever was #1 at the box office. Who will be #1 on the pop chart?

Listen to Casey on SXM 70s, and follow this 🧵 to find out. Chuck Mangione starts us off at #40 with a debut, "Feels So Good". #AT40

Today, was the anniversary of the Hope scholarship in school. My mom told me about it.

All of us, our two families, drove around in the car with 14-11 kids, lookin for scratch-off lottery tickets, just to play.

My mom and her bestie. They drove us around. We scratched. This was in 1993.

I remember it.

And the Hope Scholarship was supposed to pay for my college. We thought we were investing!

René Girard was a loser. René Girard ate my cat.

My hair is longer than Jim's. My ex-wife loved this mediocre poet so much, and she never, ever wanted my hair to be long. And well,

We ain't married today, hun, and my hair is long. And i guarantee that I write better poetry that Jim fuckin' Morrison, who's dead and overdosed.

The errors in my Tweet add to the humanity.

I should take pics of the feral cat colony that my family created here in my backyard. But feral cat colonies aren't good for nature. And I'm ashamed.

My dad was a bird watcher and hunter, and he'd feed the feral cats and feed the birds at the same time.. I called it Thunderdome It's Father's Day, and it's not like my dad designed this. My sis had a boyfriend who had a cat and went outside, and things kind of spiraled from there.

And really, if you keep the cats fed, they don't bother hunting birds. Cats are lazy as shit. 🤣

It's Caturday, Jonesy! That means it's time for another Casey Kasem American Top 40 flashback (#AT40). This week, we travel thru time and space back to 1979. Who will be #1?

Listen to Casey on SiriusXM 70s, and follow this 🧵 to find out! Sit back. It's 1979. That means it's an extended program. Casey is reviewing the top 3 from last week. We don't do that on Twitter. We sit and chill. We'll get started shortly. #AT40

Walking up to me expecting
Walking up to me expecting words
It happens all the time

Present company excepted
Present company except the worst
It happens every night

Ah-ahhhh-ah-ah
Present company excluded every time
Ah-ahhhh-ah-ah
Present company, the best that you can find 🎤

Why boasteth thyself
Oh, he-vil man
Playing smart
And not being clever, oh, no
I said you're working iniquity
To achieve vanity, yeah, if a-so a-so
But the goodness of Jah-Jah
I-dureth for-i-ver🎤 If you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Sharpened to cut you down (Well sharp)
Ready to cut you down, oh, yeah 🎤

These are the words
Of my master, keep on telling me, oh
No weak heart shall prosper, oh, no, they can't, eh, eh 🎤

And I'll walk and they’ll walk
I'll twist and they’ll twist
And I'll shimmy and they’ll shimmy
And I'll fly and they’ll fly
Yeah, we're out there having fun
In the warm California sun 🎤💜

Well, I'm going out west down on the coast
Where the California girls are really the most

And I'll walk and they'll walk
I'll twist and they'll twist
And I'll shimmy and they'll shimmy
And I'll fly and they'll fly
Well we're out there having fun
In the warm California sun 🎤

"People with BPD may feel emotions with greater ease and depth and for a longer time than others do." 🤷

I go months without reading the Wikipedia entry for BPD, but I haven't minded reading this current one.. so far.. I'm only a bit into it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderlin… This is nice. 😿

Keith Richards' version of "Pressure Drop" is fun.

I say, pressure drop, oh, pressure
Oh yeah, pressure going to drop on you
I say, a pressure drop, oh, pressure
Oh yeah, pressure going to drop on you
I say, when it drops, oh, you gonna feel it 🎤💜🇯🇲

I am the rock of the ages
Son of Jacob
I am the son of Moses
You can't move I at all
I am the son of David
You cannot move I at all 🎤

Peter Tosh 💜

I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations
Neither are you here to live up to mine, yeah
I don't owe no one no obligation
No one owe me none
So everything is fine, fine 🎤

My favorite thing that I've fuckin' heard from Gen X parents?

"My sons aren't racist. They're amazing."

And meanwhile, I listen to all these teenagers and twenty year olds say racist shit on Discord and gaming apps. You Gen X parents do not have any idea..

SOMEONE IS BIRTHING THESE RACIST KIDS THAT I HEAR ON VIDEOGAMES

Here's a good song.

Henry Thomas - "Going Up The Country"

You know it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Tho…

Nico!!

This is a good tune written by Jackson Browne. Shh.. listen.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/These_Day…

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had
The chance to 🎤

Graceless
Is there a powder to erase this?
Is it dissolvable and tasteless?
You can't imagine how I hate this, graceless
I'm trying, but I'm graceless
I don't have the sunny side to face this
I am invisible and weightless
You can't imagine how I hate this, graceless 🎤

Robert Johnson - "Milkcow's Calf Blues"

Tell me, milkcow, what on earth is wrong with you
Hoo hoo, milkcow, what on earth is wrong with you
Now you have a little new calf, hoo hoo, and your milk is turning blue 🎤

Play the hits, Jeremy.
Play the hits, Jezza.
Play the hits, Jezzica.
Shut up, and play the hits!
