“Fascism has its moments. But it never lasts.” — Sturgill Simpson

You’re conflating “we’re seeing signs of fascism” with “America is now fascist.”

Damn… 🤣

I can’t believe it’s taken until this week for me discover Billy Strings. He’s incredible!

M-W: a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime… that exalts nation and often race above the individual… associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader… characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition

I don’t know about you. But if a masked, heavily armed guy is beating me and throwing me into a white van, I want to make sure I have the semantics correct before I start yelling.

Oh, wait! This is #2? The next song is going to be, “did I forget to let the cat in?”

Oh my! “Let’s Get It On” is the BEST way to end a countdown!!! #AT40

This what I was wondering. Would a first-person point of view like “Half-Breed” be cancelled before it got played? #AT40

I have no why I loved Helen Reddy so much as a young boy. No idea. #AT40

I could envision the bookers of guests on The Dean Martin Show hearing '...Sweet Gypsy Rose' by Dawn/T. Orlando and thinking, "I think we need to be booking more contemporary sounding guests. Can Sammy come in for an encore of 'Candy Man' instead?" #AT40

I just now noticed that awesome fuzzy guitar line that opened “Who’s That Lady?” #AT40

I realized it here on BlueSky in one of these discussions. 😂

Love that whiney Duane Allman slide! (And it got edited out.) #AT40

Gimme a call, Rod, and I’ll answer, “I listen to the new sound of 13Q.”

“Angie” is the first song in this countdown that I remember loving as a 7 year old. #AT40

“Touch me in the Morning” hits different these days. #AT40

I love Headhunters! Only discovered it about 5 years ago.

Anyone else curious about the “few other changes” made by The Tokens? #AT40

This is the most snoozy version of this song imaginable. #AT40

You mean the “talk box”? Possibly.

They did in 2005.

It’s the song and guitar riff that an upstart whiskey company ripped off for their TV commercials a few years ago. #AT40

I think you may be referring to the fact that I was initially posting that I have no idea who Millie Jackson is. But then B.B. came on, and I changed direction. 😂

It’s weird to hear “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” in “real time.” It’s been so relentlessly covered, like much of Dylan’s work. #AT40

I’m feeling the Boomer-GenXer gap here (and for 1973 in general). But I’m still tickled to find B.B. King in the countdown! 😲

Happy Saturday, all! #AT40

I’ll feel better when it’s Fox News quoting farmers and reporting this and not just The New York Times and CNBC. Otherwise we’re just talking to ourselves.

What does this have to do with politics? I mean, as a Steelers fan, this is great, but… 🤷‍♂️

Just a reminder that their Commander-in-Chief is 5’10” and 287 pounds, according to New York police.
