Not so much a companion series to The Righteous Bojambo, but an indulgence of my love of the power of the Pop 45 and the influence Top 40 radio held over the way I have always thought about music. In this series, we look at the Top 40 chart from my humble hometown for the current week in a random year between about 1963 and whenever. I'll then heap glorious praise on the wondrous hits we find and withering odium on those unworthy or, even worse, uninteresting. It's a simple formula, but no doubt we'll find a way to complicate it.
