Episode 8: The Week Ending June 24, 1978, Too Much, Too Little, Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad

Did you ever get to the end of the work week and feel like you were turning bluer than blue due to lack of oxygen? Like you barely had enough energy to do a last dance with your own shadow? Yet as darkness started to fall because the night was closing in, you had that sudden realization that it was the weekend and you felt your brain scream “thank god it’s Friday”! It was a heartache as you longed for your significant other and thought “god how I miss you”. The thought of seeing them tonight would be wonderful. You’d get the chance to remind them that yes, you belong to me. Of course there was that danger that it could be too much, too little, and too late. Still, work was done and you would get to see them, so two out of three ain’t bad. In this episode we take a chance with the songs on the Billboard top 40 from the week of June 24, 1978. With a little luck it won’t be the same old songs.
