Today's AT40...
Is July 1985, with a lot of "followup" singles to big hits from groups like Hall & Oats and Don Henley.
I missed the "top three" recap, being in Lowes at the time getting yet more supplies for this insane living/dining room project that's taking FAR longer than it should thanks to having to replace whole floorboards due to wood rot.
*sigh*
Anyways, 22 years ago I was in a biology summer school class, busing to West Springfield, and enduring the fun of a hurricane "Bob" (before the later Bob that retired the name). Goonies was a great film, and I played a LOT of "Zork". Oh, and I grew 6 inches in 4 weeks. And I still undecided on whether or not I liked "New Coke".
But for those last two experiences, I'd almost rather be there than doing what I'm doing now.
[update around #14 on the countdown] - we've got thunderstorms forming right on top of us so we're without songs for a while :(
well, we came back online just in time for #2 (Prince's Raspberry Beret) and #1: Duran Duran's View to a Kill. Go Bond!
at any rate, the rain has *really* been a setback - we've finally finished pulling out the dead boards and need to cut the giant 4' x 8' *inside* the house which is a logistical nightmare. carpet's been taken up in the hallway, but that's still the last place to place flooring down on, so that may end up going tomorrow...which means *i* may end up the one to do it...ick.
