This week Roger looks back at September of 1974, when a new president let the old one off the hook, readers were hooked on a story about a big nasty fish, and radio was full of hooks of the musical kind. This week's hits included a song about the power of positive thinking by a band named after an irritating childhood prank; glam rock about picking up the pieces of someone's shattered dreams; a comedy duo's take on the generation gap; a tune about the stress relief habits of a record mogul; a hit about the power of the voices who tell you the names of the songs; and a song that used to make people think of badass hand to hand combat but now is more associated with a panda.
