I didn't have to watch to know what this was about.

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Is that a marimba in the back on Blue Bayou? #at40

Just realized that I was also near my first FL road trip. My sister lived in Pompano. My roommate's grandparents lived in Boca. Dec. break we took her car, stopping at her family's house in NJ. Also met up with some dorm crew at Disneyworld, my 1st time there. Also Cypress & Busch Gardens. #at40

Not in relation to the group, maybe it was Chic jeans or just the word chic, but I have a strong memory of my father mispronouncing it as "chick" at some point, confident that it was correct. #at40

Hey! Join us now as we listen to #at40 '70s on Sirius XM and discuss it here. Today, it's this week in '77. No SXM? Keep track with @porpster.bsky.social here

Dec. '77: Finishing up my sophomore fall semester at UMaine. Involved in a few things, but didn't always feel like I fit in. #at40

DEACON BLUES, Y'ALL! #at40

Oh wait -- I don't think Heart played this one last night. #at40

Concert report from last night's show, #at40 Pix: Mickey Thomas, probably during Fooled Around and Fell in Love, and Ann & Nancy. 1/7

Tonight's agenda #at40

Woohoo #at40 -- coming to my area!

Whoa. I listened to this week's countdown again this morning and realized I had somehow missed this yesterday. I forgot they had another hit. #at40

The Grass Roots are the Paul Revere & the Raiders of Three Dog Night. #at40

Is he saying she's got rocks in her head?

I don't remember this much from '71, but Van supplied the soundtrack for an annual camping trip with some of my friends in the '90s.

We sang this in my junior high chorus, iinm. Not sure it was the same medley except for Dixie.

Hey @bluesky friends! Join us for #at40 in the '70s. Listen on Sirius, keep track on Jezza's thread here, and chat with us on the hashtag.

Dec. '71: In the 8th grade. Here's a repeat of my eye-wateringly colorful school pic taken in the fall. #at40

PS my #at40 countdown boyfriend

That ending on "Do You Feel" sounded different from what I recall. Just me? #at40

Freaking love this Burton Cummings, especially, especially "this old piano" followed by that little piano bit. #at40

After the Lovin' ... sigh #at40

1976: my first semester at UMaine, home for Thanksgiving and hanging with other home-from-college kids at the Shelter, a popular watering hole and site of impromptu reunions. This countdown was also on my Mom's birthday, but she'd been gone for 7.5 years already. #at40

No memory of this Travolta travesty, but I might have lobotomized it out of my head. #at40

My Nog went 🌈 in 2022. I rarely share him here, but wanted to wish you happy Thanksgiving with my angel.

Happy Thanksgiving, #at40 crew!

So beautiful. This countdown has some of my favorite lyrics songs. #at40

Just me, or did Casey miss the whole point of this song? #at40

"I'm the journey and you're the journey's end" Love this song. #at40

Fall '73, my sophomore year. I'm 2nd from right (with glasses) in my '74 yearbook pic, taken around the time of this countdown. #at40

Anyone but me starting to think it's not just an oligarchy trying to take over, but a pedogarchy?

Powerful. As a mother and grandmother of beautiful girls and young women this made me cry.

Here, but barely. I worked overnight and am mostly sleeping, #at40.

Oh, this funny! Megyn R. Kelly 🤣

Wait, are we saying the kompromat wasn't pee pee tapes?

* Spelunkocrats 'Cause they caved. See? I'm still workshopping it.

Everybody's leavin' town ... #at40

Lotta songs I don't remember on this countdown. #at40

1972 ... Fall of my freshman year, which in my district was the highest grade at the junior high. Pretty sure this pic is from the following spring. I switched dance teachers for a year, and this one offered baton as well. #at40

Hey #at40 experts! A friend of mine posed this musical question and I told him I'd ask here, 'coz collectively, you guys know everything: Is the bass singer on "If You Love Me Let Me Know" the same bass on Helen Reddy's "Delta Dawn"?

Whew. Yesterday was a good day.

On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.”

Where I grew up, the 'Stute* was the community social hub -- dance lessons, youth basketball, gymnastics, classes, a little bowling alley, a big common area where kids played the jukebox & board games, site of dances with bands. This countdown is the 'Stute jukebox countdown -- Lola, All Right Now.

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.” Timothy Snyder

Ok, I've been thinking about "Montego Bay" all week because of Melissa, and here it is! #at40
