Episode 84: The Week Ending November 27, 1971 A Wild Night with One Tin Soldier
Ah Thanksgiving, that one fine morning in the midst of the week that you don’t have to go to work. Thanksgiving always falls on the 4th Thursday in November which means it is always under the sign of Sagittarius, never Scorpio. When it comes to getting together on this holiday, a lot of people feel they’ve got to be there, after all, it’s a family
affair and everybody’s everything. It’s hard to imagine, but there are people who I am sure are tired of being alone on the holiday. I don’t at all want to throw stones if that is what you choose to do, but if not; I’d love to change the world so that you to could cherish the company of others while continuing to respect yourself. This week we spend
a wild night with the Billboard top 40 songs from the week ending November 27, 1971. I’m sure the music is a lot different than it was say in the summer of ’42,
so rest assured, we will rock steady.
