I don't go down this road often because Bluesky doesn't need one more of me. But here goes: I've never met @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social, but we've been in a few of the same rooms since the fall of 1975. That said, his "A" Block tonight was a closing argument for the People vs. Donald Trump. Bravo.

As someone who was there, the best part of this was that Trump thought it WAS an apology and kept coming on the show.....

Re: Beach Boys, I get it. They had the DNA harmony and Brian's genius, but other than "Sail On Sailor" (lead vox a non-Wilson), they did. not. rock. Not that anyone asked, my three favorite Beach Boy songs: 1) Dance Dance Dance 2) Caroline, No 3) Drive In #AT40

😂🤣The ONLY reason ANYONE would show up to your lame ass event, is so they can step out of the closet they are living in and crash Grindr, while their wives think they are doing the Lord's work. But keep telling yourself that. Was Bubba there to greet you?

Good sesh, everybody. I got nervous when people were saying they re-ran last week's chart, but it turned out okay.... from 29-on. See you cats next week! (NYC folks, @thetruants.bsky.social are back at Pershing Square this Wednesday, 5-6:30pm). #AT40

Well, you know I'm gonna post this because I always do whenever it's on the chart.... My late wife, Adrianne Tolsch, on "At Seventeen": "I hate it. You spend the whole song waiting for Janis Ian's face to clear up...." #AT40

Hey, @santorinidreaming.bsky.social, you were there. How great was that Yale secondary back then? (And of course, the one guy who didn't play there, WR Gary Fencik, had a 12-year NFL career as a safety.)

Steve Skrovan, who after he was an All-Ivy DB at Yale and before he was the #2 guy at "Everybody Loves Raymond" was an underrated stand-up who did a bit about how Earth Wind and Fire had one guy who only did this: "Yow...." #AT40

I love James Taylor, and not just because he's the most successful recovering heroin addict in his talented family. But Jesus, he got some Donnie Osmond-level cover suggestions.... #AT40

Mid-August, 1974, my father, my brother John and I drove from Boston to Cape Vincent, NY to go fishing. Counting stops, 7 hours in the car each way. My hand to God, "The Night Chicago Died" played a minimum three dozen times. That, my friends, is heavy rotation.... #AT40

Johnny Bristol sampling Barry White before sampling was a term used anywhere by Hickory Farms. In 1974, we called it "ripping off." You hear me, Steely Dan ("Rikki Don't Lose Horace Silver's Number")???? #AT40

In 1986, I was in Melbourne with Kelley Rodgers and the late Richard Jeni playing the Atheneum, while Adrianne was with Margaret Smith and Valery Pappas playing the Last Laugh. Valery was an incredibly impression who did a spot-on version of Olivia Newton-John singing "I'm Honestly Boring...."

I have been through my lovely, brief history opening for Tower of Power in the late 1980s at the Bottom Line. They were, without question, my favorite band in high school. I remember when this charted. I felt like I had charted.... #AT40
