Whew. I was beginning to think I was the only one who thought a global economic system based on exploitation of power imbalances in mandatory service of unquenchable greed was a bad thing.

The song on The '40s Junction right now is by Three Flames with Tyger Haynes and it's called Open the Door Richard from 1947, and it's about the song's protagonist being unable to get his roommate Richard to wake up and unlock the door because he has forgotten his keys.

Simpler times.

People on here pointing out that it's silly for Kamala to run again keep saying she's already lost once are forgetting that it's actually twice.

I needed something mellow and uplifting given all the *waves hands around*. So here's some mid-90s pop R&B for ya, courtesy of TLC. Not really following the transcript on this one, it's all for fun on this one.

And, forgive me for noodling over Left-Eye.

It's really something to be living through the worst President, the worst Supreme Court, and the worst Congress all at once

"They, too, fashioned themselves as bikers, wearing leathers and carrying knives, even named themselves after a popular slang for marijuana cigarettes as a way to thumb their nose at society. But Sioux Falls was no place for a group of girls called The Reefer Sisters to become stars." #AT40

For the life of me I can't get that "diddle do diddle do" gallop out of my right hand for "D'ya Think I'm Sexy." I wanna blame it on arthritits, but I'm not sure I was ever able to do it. Not a lot of call for disco lick back in my heydey. #AT40

Taking a dip back into the early 90s with some Pearl Jam. Jeff Ament plays this with a pick on a 12-string (3 strings for each E A D G), and I do not. But it was fun to learn.

When "Touch Me in the Morning" plays, I imagine poking ladylove in the nose at 6am and saying "Boop!", then leaving and spending my workday imagining her wondering, "what the hell was that?" #AT40

You know those hard Werther's caramels? They just melt in your mouth, sweet and buttery, but not gooey or overwhelming? One you enjoy all the way, never biting it, to get every last drop of flavor? And then, you're good, no need to gorge? Anne Murray's voice is a hard Werther's caramel. #AT40

WARNING: #AT40 is now under a double Nile Rodgers funk alert. Those around you may get down, but advanced age may prevent them from getting back up again. Please watch your elder Gen-X / young Boomer, help them get on the good foot, and remember that everything is on the one.

Ladylove thinks Bumper Morgan is an AI. I explained that this is a recording from 1979, but she insists the AI has become self-aware and possesses the capability to time-portal itself to 1979 to be Bumper Morgan, causing a complex butterfly effect that elects Ronald Reagan. "DAMN YOU, BUMPER!" #AT40

I think "He's The Greatest Dancer" is the funkiest rhythm guitar lick of 1979 #AT40

Folks, we had to get all the way to #28 before hearing some absolute 1979 "Superman" dreck. This is the song you left the floor during to go adjust your skates and get a slice of pepperoni pizza. #AT40

So I gave her this advice, I leaned in to tell her the best way to survive is to hold your feelings inside so that you do not cause a fuss or raise attention to yourself in any way and DON'T CRY OUT LOUUUUDD!!!! #AT40

Okay, "Bustin' Loose" is a solid entry from the funk section of 1979. Not disco. This is pure, uncut funk. The bomb. The one, boldfaced and underscored, highlighted in yellow and placed upon a pedestal. Unh! #AT40

Continuing the Dirty 30 on Idi Amin Ouster Day…

Roxanne (Police)
Crazy Love (Allman Bros)
Renegade (Styx)
Rubber Biscuit (Blues Bros)
Every Time I Think Of You (Babys)
Love Takes Time (Orleans)

I have the dread that there's going to be rough seas ahead. This is too much too good too early. #AT40

Okay, we're halfway thru the Dirty 30.
Roxanne
Crazy Love
Renegade
Rubber Biscuit
Every Time I Think Of You

C'mon, now. We are on the brink of the Greatest Dirty 30 ever on the #AT40. Only Rubber Biscuit isn't an S-tier tune from these artists, and it's a solid B as a novelty tune.
