Episode 4: The Week Ending May 29, 1976, Physical and Mental Health in the 70’s

Were you feeling ok back in the 70’s? Did you feel feverish? Were you perpetually hungover because of too much partying? Perhaps the pain and anguish of losing a beloved pet made you feel like you were about to go crazy, as if your whole world was in a blue mist. Maybe you felt like you were a fool to cry and still feel that way after all these years. Did you seek out cures in strange magic, or ask some mystic to “show me the way”? Well, have no fear, because happy days are here again! That’s right, welcome back to the podcast where this time we take a look at the Billboard Top 40 from the week of May 29, 1976. There is a pretty good mixture of rock, funk, and disco in this one, and unfortunately some sap as well.
