Appril 20, 1974... A mere 15 days after Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record. That was pretty big news back then. As a 13 year old kid, I remember it well.
Meanwhile, following this week’s music theme of what Hot-100 songs I have on my ipod…. Today (4/20) was the day the charts came out in 1974, so let’s look at that. Monday was 1970, I had 26 of the Hot 100 songs on my iPod. Yesterday was 1975, and I had 33 of the Hot 100. So, what do you think I have for this week in 1974? How about 35 songs! But not quite as memorable a group.
