Episode 33: The Week Ending December 21, 1974 The Bottom 25 of the Top 100 of 1974

We did a wild thing this week. Like something your '70s rock and roll beach baby brother might do after partaking in some of that wildwood weed. Call it my mistake, but I’m leaving it all up to you to decide whether it was good or bad. Don’t’ you worry bout’ a thing though, because as we relied on the lord’s prayer to guide us, we think the episode is worthy of a mighty love.  Since we only did 25 songs, this week we sped like a jet through the bottom of the Billboard Top 100 songs of 1974. It’s so close to Christmas, you can almost hear those tubular sleigh bells now.
