Author, drummer, urban wit. #AT40 regular. Letterman writer, 1991-2015, Adrianne Tolsch husband 1990-2016. That will always be my best credit.
Okay, so next week, gang. (Meanwhile, me looking at chart and realizing I missed "It's A Shame," an absolute desert island song for me....) #AT40

1970

I've got one hand in my pocket and the other one is throwing a peace sign

Well, both hands are throwing a peace sign

I don't go down this road often because Bluesky doesn't need one more of me. But here goes: I've never met @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social, but we've been in a few of the same rooms since the fall of 1975. That said, his "A" Block tonight was a closing argument for the People vs. Donald Trump. Bravo.

As someone who was there, the best part of this was that Trump thought it WAS an apology and kept coming on the show.....
So glad he never apologized!

Hey @bzref.bsky.social, Tavares shout-out for "She's Gone!" #AT40

Re: Beach Boys, I get it. They had the DNA harmony and Brian's genius, but other than "Sail On Sailor" (lead vox a non-Wilson), they did. not. rock.
Not that anyone asked, my three favorite Beach Boy songs:
1) Dance Dance Dance
2) Caroline, No
3) Drive In #AT40

Where has this Diana Ross song been my whole life? #AT40

😂🤣The ONLY reason ANYONE would show up to your lame ass event, is so they can step out of the closet they are living in and crash Grindr, while their wives think they are doing the Lord's work. But keep telling yourself that. Was Bubba there to greet you?

Good sesh, everybody. I got nervous when people were saying they re-ran last week's chart, but it turned out okay.... from 29-on. See you cats next week! (NYC folks, @thetruants.bsky.social are back at Pershing Square this Wednesday, 5-6:30pm). #AT40

Well, you know I'm gonna post this because I always do whenever it's on the chart....

Can you think of an earlier song than "Fight the Power" to use bulls*** as lyric? #AT40

Hey, @santorinidreaming.bsky.social, you were there. How great was that Yale secondary back then? (And of course, the one guy who didn't play there, WR Gary Fencik, had a 12-year NFL career as a safety.)
Steve Skrovan, who after he was an All-Ivy DB at Yale and before he was the #2 guy at "Everybody Loves Raymond" was an underrated stand-up who did a bit about how Earth Wind and Fire had one guy who only did this: "Yow...." #AT40
