Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 Countdown from this week in 1985.

This week Foreigner’s clock is ticking because REO Speedwagon actually knows what love is, and a solo David Lee Roth has entered the chat.

Diddely.

Hi friends, Campr is finally yours.

This album took its time. Life changed while we were making it. Some of these songs were written long before we understood what they were really about.

This week Madonna takes a tumble down to #7, but it's all love with Foreigner taking the top spot and Billy Ocean, Wham, and more singing about our messiest emotion.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Starting a new substack: "We can watch a man get killed by federal agents in Minneapolis and then hear him besmirched as a terrorist or assassin despite what we saw with our own eyes. It makes you feel powerless, which it is intended to do." open.substack.com/pub/benrhode...

This one goes out to the family and friends of Alex Pretti - a son of the watershed. Words can not express the horror of what ICE did on Saturday. May his memory guide all in changing the US federal government to be truthful, transparent & for the people

This week Madonna is, you guessed it, still on top. But Foreigner search for the meaning of love is making moves, with Chicago creeping up behind.
