How often should one plug their Patreon? I still don't know the answer. I know times are tough, and I've lost a lot of patrons b/c of it. So supporting my research would really help me out if you are in a position to do so.

Thank you, I had not. Elvis was one weird dude

Mizz, I refuse to believe we can't classify something from this week as "cringeworthy"...

I mean, "Knock Three Times" is *right there* #AT40

Thanks as always, Jezz — you're the best! ✌️

Might not be around next week, but good luck to your Dawgs!

Alright — the rest of you need to hustle back to 2025! Please do not attempt to smuggle vintage ske-balls to the present day
Thank you. #AT40

Is Goth Girl her niece? #AT40

It's all downhill from here #AT40 rockheads — so crank it up!

This was from the days before Elvis notoriously macking of Kasem's girlfriend at a live show #AT40

this would make a solid speed metal song #AT40

And that sonofabitch just plugs direct into the PA!

Oh yeah, that's the good shit #AT40

It's not a particularly hard bassline but damn if Vernie Robbins doesn't make that sound like butter #AT40

We went from Zeppelin to this in just two tracks... #AT40
December 20, 2025 at 5:42 PM
Fair... and Tom would agree 🤝

Three?

Rejoice #AT40 rockheads! The kids in Zeppelin t-shirts have stormed the arcade and are throwing ske-balls and tipping over garbage cans!

Turn it up so loud that even Tom hears it!
December 20, 2025 at 5:35 PM
No offense to Gladys, but someone head out behind the arcade and tell the older kids in the Led Zeppelin t-shirts to pay attention #AT40
December 20, 2025 at 5:33 PM
Weird... this site has the 12/12 countdown wrong...?
December 20, 2025 at 5:16 PM
Someone call Bustany! Kasem's gone rogue again!! #AT40

Fun trivia tidbit: News outlets apparently didn’t report on the Elvis-Nixon meeting until a couple of years later.

Also, this particular #AT40 is going to be challenging for us rockheads. Be prepared to befriend the older kids behind the arcade wearing Led Zeppelin t-shirts more than once.
