@spyderharrison SpYder:Everyone knows You are the Evil twin and JJ is the good twin. I mean that is pretty obvious. Also JJ knows so much more about good music.

4 great songs hit the hot 100 this week in 1973: Drift Away and Wildflower at 85 and 86; The Night the Lights went Out in GA and One Man Band 80 and 81 Other Songs of note on that chart were Walk on the Wild Side. Rosalie and Break Up to Make up. @JJWalker70 @Jaybeau70 @70sOn7

@SXM_Help Problem fixed. Thanks much.

[Gene Foster @GeneFoster1]

Alexa link to SiriusXM has been down for over 5 days now. Hopefully that will get fixed soon. @SiriusXM @amazon

[Gene Foster @GeneFoster1]

@AmazonHelp All of my echo and show are affected. I ask Alexa to play a SiriusXM station and the message tells me to establish a link to SXM on the Alexa app but the links are established. Tried removing the skill link and putting it back back but did not help.

2/9 National Pizza Day with the World's Largest Pizza Cutter in Casey, Illinois #PizzaDay #pizza #bigthingsinasmalltown

[Gene Foster @GeneFoster1]

JJ just played Black Betty that lasts for 2 minutes 28 seconds. This short song fits perfectly for the second month of the year with 28 days. @JJWalker70 @Jaybeau70 @Phlash_Phelps

1974 Ford Maverick - Brown @JJWalker70

[Gene Foster @GeneFoster1]

I think the song Cruel to be Kind by Nick Lowe would be appropriate for opposite/oxymoron day last week that Phlash talked about. @Phlash_Phelps @70sOn7 @Jaybeau70 @JJWalker70

@Jaybeau70 @JJWalker70 @70sOn7 Jay Beau nice tidbit you had about Don’t Pull Your Love. Way back in 1971 when it first came out I thought the lyrics were …”lay me down and cry four hundred years”. But it really was …”for a hundred years”

[Gene Foster @GeneFoster1]

It seems to me that there has recently been a modification of the play list for the @70sOn7 on SiriusXM. Songs by Gunhill Road, Rickie Lee Jones, Jim Stanford and others are now getting airplay. have I just been imagining this? @Jaybeau70 @JJWalker70 I do like the added songs

Counting down the days until we can do this again…

@Phlash_Phelps @Jaybeau70 @70sOn7 @60sgold Phlash You are spot on with the local/national aspect. For example here in Chicago the Cryan Shames It Could Be We’re in Love was number 1 in Aug 1967 but nationally only reached 85. Take a listen to it and maybe play it on your show if you think it is worthy. I love that song.

[Gene Foster @GeneFoster1]

@Jaybeau70 @Phlash_Phelps One hit wonder question - what is the industry accepted definition of one hit wonder? For example a song goes top 20 but artist never had another top 20, or some such combination of chart action like top 40

@Phlash_Phelps @Jaybeau70 @70sOn7 @60sgold Phlash - how about Reunion’s Life is a Rock which is one of your favorites. Reached number 8 in 1974 and the group never hit the Hot 100 again
