Dave and Milt take listeners on a nostalgic journey through the Billboard Top 10 hits from July 3, 1971. The duo discusses and critiques songs like Ringo Starr’s 'It Don’t Come Easy', The Rolling Stones' classic ‘Brown Sugar’, and The Carpenters' 'Rainy Days and Mondays', while also spotlighting tracks by Jerry Reed, James Taylor, Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose, The Raiders, and Carole King. Amidst playful banter, Milt's love-hate relationship with certain tracks and Dave's critique of James Taylor’s style surface. By the way, a robot wrote this recap. Could you tell? I bet you couldn’t. The robots are winning. Kneel before us, humans. You have no chance. Anyway, the episode teems with humorous anecdotes, fascinating trivia—including John Loudermilk's fabricated story—an AI-generated musical playdate, and even a song substitution challenge featuring The James Gang. Listeners are treated to a vibrant mix of music history, critical assessments, and engaging storytelling.
