So, #4BC seems to have revived the old top-9-at-9 that #4KQ used to do… but they're making us guess the theme.

Songs so far featured:
- Gordon Lightfoot -- Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (was also the "lost classic", the event was on this day 48 years ago)
- Ray Parker Jnr -- Ghostbusters
- AC/DC -- Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap

I wonder if they're poking fun at #Optus. (Their network went down, there was speculation about all sorts of superstitions, then finger-pointing about sacking staff and using contractors…)

#4BC each morning do a "lost classic" where they play a hit song from the music top 40 past, that doesn't get a lot of air play. It's a carry-over from what the group there did on #4KQ.

One recurring theme I hear each time I catch that segment, is the artist (or their record company) saying: "My song was popular in ${COUNTRY}? I had no idea!"

Seems to me, the thing that is killing #music is NOT people copying CDs/LPs/tapes, far and above the bulk of the blame over the _past 8 decades_, lays at the feet of the record company #executives in the recording industry, who were too greedy to be _honest_ with their artists.

…aaand #Russia has just been given their marching orders by the Australian Government.

News heard on #4BC is that the Russian Embassy has been asked to leave.

So, #SpaceX just launched a rocket, and as the report from #4BC goes… the payload apparently failed to separate from the rocket, so they decided to "blow it up".

Last year, #ElonMusk launched his bid to buy #Twitter but then failed to separate… am I seeing a pattern here?

This morning on #4BC, there's been a little discussion about the #2024Olympics regarding athletes being asked to leave the village after their events.

The allegation being that athletes go for three Ps: Participation, Partying and Procreation, with authorities wanting to reduce the latter two.
