Episode 11: The Week Ending July 28, 1973

As we circle back to 1973, it’s yesterday once more. Chances are you didn’t have a lot of money. Perhaps you were just looking for the right place where peaceful waters run, your own Shambala. Maybe you were looking to re-connect with a missing family member, asking the question “Has anybody seen my brother Louie?” Were you just an uneasy rider on a long train running searching for your perfect diamond girl? You would only express your anguish behind closed doors, clutching your only Kodachrome picture of her. As you looked off into the distance, the smoke on the water cleared and you realized that there has got to be a morning after. In this episode we go back around in circles and look at the Billboard chart from July 28, 1978. Alright then, let’s get it on!
