Episode 77: The Week Ending May 31, 1975 Walking in Rhythm on Shakey Ground

How long has it been since we went back to
1975, it seems like it was back in the podcast old days, but maybe it was only yesterday?  For some it was a bad time, when air travel was on shaky ground. The risk of a hijack was all too real and you feared at any moment to hear “get down, get down, get on the floor”! Fortunately for most of us, the only time we heard that was in the disco.  This week we do the hustle through the Billboard Top 40 songs from the week ending May 30th, 1975. With a shining star or two, and some magic within, we can say we haven’t said the last farewell to 1975.
