Today's AT40...

...was another recent repeat (grr) - 1982.  We listened to 'bout an hour of it in the car on the way to the inlaws.  Not much else to say, really, except I'm getting tired of the repeats...

...and at least I'm glad I was too busy to listen to the mellow-ballad run through that one had.  Ick.
