Happy Monday! From Crazy Uncle Earl: A Common Thread “Dig-A-Hits” 3 pack for your Tune-L-Edge listening pleasure…… 1. “Baby Blue” by Bad Finger (1972) U.S. Billboard Hot 100 #14 2. “The Loco-motion” by Grand Funk Railroad (1974) U.S. Billboard 100 #1 3. “Two out of Three Ain’t Bad” by Meat Loaf (1978) U.S. Billboard Hot 100 #11 What is the COMMON THREAD??? . . Wait for it………….. . . All three songs were produced by the eclectic musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and multimedia artist, Todd Rundgren. Rundgren had 6 Top 40 hits as a solo artist and as part of the groups Naz and Utopia. 1. This song is off their fourth studio album and was issued under The Beatles’ Apple label. It took 9 months for this album to be completed. The original producer was Geoff Emerick , then it was turned over to George Harrison. Harrison got involved with organizing The Concert for Bangladesh and the project was turned over to Todd Rundgren. This tune had a resurgence of popularity as it was featured in the final scene and episode of the crime drama series “Breaking Bad”. 2. The decision to add this cover of Little Eva’s 1962 original recording to Grand Funk’s “Shinin’ On” album, was made when Rundgren heard Mark Farner @REALMARKFARNER singing the song in the studio. The tune had the distinction of charting in the top 5 in three consecutive decades. The 60’s with Little Eva at #1, the 70’s with Grand Funk at #1, and the 80’s with Kylie Minogue in 1987 reaching #3. This song was written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. 3. This power ballad was the highest charting release from his Bat Out of Hell album produced by Rundgren. The album sold over 14 million copies. This is after Rundgren felt the album was under promoted by the label. Rundgren’s production was hailed by critic as genius. The music was composed by Jim Steinman. Meat Loaf would have 7 top 40 hits with one going to #1. This 3-pack of ear pleasures will bring you 11 minutes and 47 seconds of nostalgia center stimulating joy. Give them a listen! ….and as always, Aspire to Inspire. @MarkReardonKFTK @susan6768

@REALMARKFARNER @CapitolFlint Looked like a GOOD time! Nice homecoming sir! Congrats. See you in St. Louis.

Hey rockers! Here are more 📸's from the show in Flint the other day😎 @CapitolFlint

Happy Monday! From Crazy Uncle Earl: A Common Thread “Dig-A-Hits” 3 pack for your Tune-L-Edge listening pleasure…… 1. “Black Water” by The Doobie Brothers (1974) U.S. Billboard Hot 100 #1 2. “We Will Rock You” by Queen (1977) U.S. Billboard 100 #52 3. “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” by The Rolling Stones (1969) U.S. Billboard Hot 100 #42 What is the COMMON THREAD??? . . Wait for it………….. . . All three songs were actually released as“B”sides. Back in the day, record companies use to try to pick a song off an artist album that they thought might be a hit. They would then press it into 45’s as the “A” side. They would then select a “deeper” cut of the album was pressed onto the “B”side. The 45’s were sent out to all the DJ’s in the country to try and launch a hit single. The DJ’s typically put the “A” side song into their rotation. On the rare occasion, a “B” side was played on air. And sometimes those “B” sides would become hits. Today’s three pack contains those “hen’s teeth”. 1. This monster hit for The Doobies was a finger exercise Patrick Simmons used to warm up with. Ted Templeton, their producer ask him to build a song around it. When they were promoting their single, “Another Park. Another Sunday” (#32), the record company put Black Water on the “B”Side. And like some times it happened, a DJ accidentally flip the single and let “Black Water” escape into the ear holes of the world. 2. Written by Brian May, this a cappella tune contains no accompaniment other than clapping and foot stomping until the last 30 second when May pushed a blazing guitar solo out. “We Are The Champions” (#4) was supposed to be the hit and was put on the “A” side. The record was sent to the DJ’s to “spread the tune”. DJ’s began playing the songs consecutively with “We Will Rock You” as the overture to “We Are The Champions”and the rest is history. Initially this song did not chart in the Hot 100 until after Freddie Mercury’s death in Nov 1991. 3. Written by Jagger and Richards for the Let It Bleed album, it was named by Rolling Stone Magazine as the 100th greatest song of all time. The tune opens up with the London Bach Choir, then an acoustic guitar and French horn. Certainly not your typical Stones tune. When first released as the “B” side of Honky Tonk Woman, the song didn’t chart. In 1973, the song was rereleased on the compilation album “Hot Licks”. It finally charted at #42. In 1983, the song would be an intricate part of the opening scene of the film, “The Big Chill”. This 3-pack of ear ticklers will bring you 13 minutes and 51 seconds of memory-prodding joy. Give them a listen. ….and as always, Aspire to Inspire.

From Crazy Uncle Earl: Happy Friday!!! TODAY, WE KICK WINTER TO CURB!!! The Vernal Equinox arrives this morning at 9:46 AM CDT A “Dig-A-Hits” 3 pack for your Tune-L-Edge listening pleasure…… FROM 1979: 1. “What a Fool Believes” by The Doobie Brothers. Billboard Hot 100 #1 2. “Sad Eyes” by Robert John. Billboard Hot 100 #1 3. “Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'” by Journey. Billboard Hot 100 #16 FUN TUNE FACTS: 1. “What a Fool Believes”-This song was the second and last time the group landed in the #1 spot of the charts, The Doobies would have 16 top 40 and 5 top 10 hits. This tune was written by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. Loggins recorded the song first, but it was eclipse by The Doobies version which received Grammy’s for both Song and Record of The Year. This tune is considered to be the ultimate Yacht rock song. 2. “Sad Eyes”-This song peaked at #1 in October of 1979. Written by Robert John, the song greatly benefited from the anti disco attitude n the country in late summer 1979. It followed My Sharona by the Knack to the #1 slot of the charts. John had 3 top 40 hits. His cover version of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight in 1972 hit #3. John’s first trip to the hot 100 was when he was 12-years-old. His song “White Bucks and Saddle Shoes” hit #74 in 1958 under the name Bobby Pedrick Jr. 3. “Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'”-This song peaked at #16 in the US and was the first of their 18 song in the top 40. Written by lead singer Steve Perry, it is the perfect audience sway song. You know, when everyone in the audience raise their arms in the air and lean towards the right then sway to the left and then back to the right. The use of a lit Bic lighter in one hand during the sway is optional. Give these little“nuggets of goodness”a listen.

From Crazy Uncle Earl’s Attic: Here you go……..a Hump-Day Chuckle! SCHOOL SUPPLIES…….in the good-old days… Saw a post the other day about the rounded tip scissor we used as kids. These P.o.S. couldn’t cut air! The post sparked memories of other school supplies us Boomers had to endure….. Pencils- Up to second grade, we had to use those pencils that were about an inch in diameter. Why they would give a child with small hands these gigantic pencils is a mystery. You had to rest the damn thing on your shoulder to write with it. The first time I used it, I think I tore my rotator cuff. They had special manual pencil sharpeners with this huge hole in it to accommodate this horse leg pencil. The sharpener also doubled as a wood chipper for a tree service in the summer time. To top it off, these tent poles didn’t have an eraser attached to them. Oh I guess the school didn’t think we’d make mistakes……we were seven for goodness sake!!!!! Tablets- These were pads of lined paper with no holes in it. The lines were so far a part you could parallel park a cruise ship. Every other line was a faint line. This was used to help you determine where the small case letters would stop. The paper quality was terrible. Each sheet was about 1/16” thick. You could actually see chunks of wood pulp floating in it. Paste- This was a jar of thick white goo with a small brush attached to the bottom of the lid. The paste was used to glue construction paper together for art projects. As soon as the paste dried, the adhesiveness of the paste left and the art project disintegrated. The only thing this paste was good for was watching the class idiot eat it. Crayons- In first and second grade we were only allowed to have the 8 count box of crayons. Red, blue, green, yellow, orange, brown, black, and white were the only colors we had. What kind of color was white? Isn’t the definition of white; the absence of all colors? In the eight count box, the crayons were as thick as the pencils were using. In the third grade, we were cut loose and could get the 24 count box. The rich kids would show off by bringing the 64 count box in with the sharpener on the side of the box. (Those arrogant punks!) Remember mimeograph machines? They were some times called duplicating machines. Before copiers ,these machines were used by teachers to make copies of tests and hand outs. There was a master that was put on an inked roller. Paper would feed under the roller and duplicate the master. I used to love the smell of the copies that came off these machines. It smelled like bread baking. Of course years later I found out that the mimeograph ink emitted a toxic fume. No wonder the life expectancy of teachers back then was about 30. That could ALSO be the reason I have no memory of third grade. Always………… Aspire to Inspire!

@REALMARKFARNER Nice article! I 1000% agree with the writer. See ya next time you’re in town.

Wait for it………….. . . All three songs were co-written by Albert Hammond.

Including our 3-pack performers, he has written for Tina Turner, Chicago, Bonnie Tyler, The Carpenters, The Hollies, Whitney Houston, and Celine Dion to name just a few. And who can forget the “monster hit” from The Pipkins in 1970, “Gimme Dat Ding” 1. This song would be the #24 song on the Year-end Charts in 1977 for Sayer. The English singer/songwriter would have 7 Top 40 hits with two going to #1. Hammond co-wrote this song with Carole Bayer Sager. 2. This Swedish pop group that formed in 1987 had 7 Top 40 and 3 Top 5 Hits in the U.S. from 1992-1996. The group was the third most successful pop group from Sweden behind ABBA and Roxette. Hammond co-wrote this song with the great Diane Warren. 3. This power ballad ear-worm featured vocals by Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas. It was the ending theme for the movie”Mannequin”. Starship was the “pop” iteration of more rock-centric Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship that formed in 1965. As Starship, they would have 6 Top 40 hits in the US with three going to #1. This song was also written by Hammond in conjunction with Diane Warren. This 3-pack of ear adornments will bring you 12 minutes and 31 seconds of memory-stirring joy.

Wonder allowed Beck to record a version of the song in March 1973 on the Beck, Bogert & Appice album. 2. “Lucky Man”- This song is off the UK progressive eponymous debut album. It was written by guitarist Greg Lake when he was 12-years-old and recorded by the trio in an improvised jam session. The group needed one more song to complete the album, so Lake pulled out this “chestnut”. The tune features Keith Emerson performing one of rock’s first Moog synthesizer solos. It is best heard with headsets, looking at posters under black light and drinking cherry Kool-Aid. (“GOT ANY OREOS AND BEEF JERKY?”) 3. “Bad Luck”-This disco precursor was co-written by the writing team of McFadden and Whitehead along with Victor Carstarphen. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes provided vocals and the great Philly session musicians, MFSB including Earl Young on drums and Ronnie Baker on bass provided the instrumentation. The lead vocals on this song were handled by Blue Note Teddy Pendergrasss. Give these luck and superstition tunes a try. They will bring 15 minutes and 9 seconds of joy to your day. Everyone have a fantastic second of three Friday the 13th’s in 2026. Keep an eye out in November for the third. Always……… Aspire to Inspire. @REALMARKFARNER @MarkReardonKFTK @susan6768

From Crazy Uncle Earl’s Attic: Here you go……..a Hump-Day Chuckle! The horse is dead……stop beating it! In society today we take a word or phrase and repeat it over and over and over. What was once unique, different and smart, has become an irritant that makes you want to adhere the user to a septic tank lid. I don’t know if I am becoming more rigid in my later years, but here are the current list of words or phrases that just chap my crumpets. Conflate- Never heard the word conflate used in my first 65 years of existence and in the past 2 weeks I heard it from every “talking head” on TV. Did they all get the same word-of-the-day calendar? Were they tired of using “combine” as the correct verb? Or are they using conflate in the wrong context? Conflate is NOT a fancier way to say “confuse”? Overarching- Business Leaders must also have the same word-of-the-day calendar. In a two-day period in 10 business meetings, I heard the word “Overarching” in every meeting. Again, was the word “overall” being used at the time? Transparency- How many times have you heard this word in the past 5 years? In a world where multi-tasking is a must, shouldn’t you be as efficient as possible with verbal communication? “Transparency”, four syllables. “Open”, two syllables. So- This two-letter word is the current generation’s replacement of “umm” in speech patterns. “So” shouldn’t be used to start a statement. Have you ever asked a person a question and their answer starts with the word “So”? “What is the scheduled time for the 8:15 train?”, you ask. And the answer you get is “So, it should be 8:15” “Why do you start every statement with so? “So I am not using the utterance umm.” Sometime you don’t have to ask a question to get the “So” retort. Sometime the person will start the conversation with “So”. When I hear that, I think I missed out on the first part of the conversation. I ask the person to repeat themselves. Breaking News- It use to be something that was “Breaking News” was a dire emerging news story that needed my undivided attention, now EVERYTHING is “Breaking News”. The overuse of this phrased has essentially desensitized us to the point that when something is truly Breaking News, it is ignored. “Aliens from Neptune land in Butte, Montana” will have the same effect as “Dog Receives Flea Medication.” New and Improved- Can someone tell me how you improve something that is new? “The new q-Phone has just been released. We’ve done such a banner job of designing and manufacturing it, we’ve improved it?” Phew!!!........Let me step-off my “whiny wagon”. It seems some young hooligan is on my grass. “HEY……..GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!” As always……Aspire to Inspire!

Wait for it………….. . . All three songs were co-written by Dean Pitchford for the 1984 film, “Footloose” starring Kevin Bacon. 1. This song from the soundtrack of Footloose went to #1 for Williams who would have 4 top hits including another #1 with her duet with Johnny Mathis, “Too Much, Too Little, Too Late” in 1978. Backing Williams on the song was the husband and wife team George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam of Boy Meets Girl Fame. Who had their own #5 hit in 1988 with “Waiting For A Star To Fall” 2. This song was written for the movie’s angst-ridden punch-dance scene in an abandoned warehouse by Keven Bacon’s character, Ren Mc Cormack. The song was never released as a single and was performed by the Australian pop rock band “Moving Pictures”. Though the song was an intricate part of the story line, the song and the band never achieved the commercial success of hit song. 3. This song hit# 34 for the Welsh singer. It was written by Jim Steinman of Meatloaf’s “Bat Out of Hell” fame and Dean Pitchford who would co-write every song on the movie’s soundtrack album. This trio of hits will bring 13 minutes and 56 seconds toe-tapping joy to your ear canals. As the great philosopher, Kenny Loggins, once said, “LOSE YOUR BLUES.

It was written by Holly Knight and glam rocker Nick Gilder of “Hot Child In The City” fame. Scandal formed in NYC in 1981. In 1983, they had some guy named Jon Bon Jovi playing guitar for them. I wonder if he ever made anything of himself? 2. “Run to You”- This was originally written for Blue Öyster Cult by Adams but was turned down. He then took it to .38 Special, who also declined it. Adams decided to record it himself and scored a #6 hit in the US.

This song was written by Jim Peterik and guitarist Frankie Sullivan. Survivor had 8 top 40 hits with “Eye Of The Tiger” going to #1 Give these little“nuggets of goodness”a listen. It’ll be the best 11 minutes and 52 seconds you’ve spent. FUN FACTS FOR 1984: On January 1st in the U.S., The Bell System is broken up by court order. Michael Jackson’s hair catches on fire while filming a Pepsi commercial. The Soviet Union announces they will boycott the 1984 Summer Olympics in LA in retaliation for our boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Bruce Springsteen releases his 7th album, “Born in the USA”. The CD of the album is the first CD to be manufactured in the U.S. Purple Rain, the sixth studio album recorded by artist Prince, is released. The 1984 Democratic National Convention in San Francisco nominates Walter Mondale for President and Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman, Vice Presidential candidate. Vanessa Williams becomes the first Miss America to resign, when she surrenders her crown after nude photos of her appear in Penthouse magazine. Jeopardy!

From Crazy Uncle Earl’s Attic: Here you go……..a Hump-Day Chuckle (Random thoughts in a troubled mind) I saw a commercial for a razor that was guaranteed for life, but if I ordered it right away, I could get another one free……….WHY????? Sally Fields used be in a commercial for a drug for osteoporosis call Boniva……Wouldn’t that have been a better name for Viagra???? The volume on a turn signal indicator on vehicles should be 500 times the volume of the ambient noise level inside the vehicle. This way grandma and grandpa’s ears will bleed until they turn off their left blinker. All baseball caps should come with instructions for proper usage. Why “Talk to the Hand” when all they need to talk to is just ONE FINGER. If I am advertising a clothing company by displaying their logo or name on the shirt I am wearing, why should I have to pay extra for the shirt? They should be paying me. It’s called advertising Sergio! Hell, there’s even a tax deduction for it! If I buy a new car and there is a scratch on it, I will complain and complain until the scratch is gone. This way I can drive my shiny new car, with pride, to the furniture store so I can pay more for “distressed” furniture. Who was the first person to snow ski?????? Was there somebody walking on a mountain top with a buddy, drinking some serious alcohol, saying “Hey Buford, if I strap these boards on my feet and jump off the side of this mountain…I bet you I could beat you home…..Oh, hang on a second, let me wax’em up reeeaaallly good….” Are you breaking any laws if you are in the “12 Items or Less” line at the grocery store with 12 pack of beer and bag of chips? Why do all speakers in drive through lanes make the person taking your order sound like all the adults in a Charlie Brown cartoon???(WOMWOMWOMWOMWA) Can you truly get a White Castle hamburger with no onions? Hell, I’d be happy to have the meat they took out when they drilled 5 holes into the patty. What is that stuff they spray in rental shoes at the bowling alley? Here’s a fun thing to say when you return your rental shoes at the bowling alley. Tell the person behind the counter, “These are the most comfortable shoe I have had on since my fungus began to flare up.” When a store advertises 70% off, what is that 70% off of? Or is it a statement about their employees’ mental prowess? The old “pull my finger” trick will never replace a handshake. And speaking of handshakes, next time you go to shake someone’s hand, extend your left hand. It freaks them out. It’s hilarious! Always………… Aspire to Inspire!
