The Power Of Suggestion

We'll give you 72 more hours to Voice Your Choices for your All-Time Bubblegum Favorites.  The polls will close on Saturday (the 21st) and then we'll compile those votes to determine The Top 40 Greatest Bubblegum Hits Of All Time.

To help you along, THESE are the 220-something titles that have been nominated thus far.

NO NEW NOMINEES will be accepted ... 

But sometime during the next three days, please vote for up to TWENTY of your favorites from this list ... in rank order if possible ... and we'll take it from there.

Then, be listening on Saturday, October 5th, as Phil Nee and I count 'em down on his THOSE WERE THE DAYS radio program on WRCO!  (kk)

60 YEARS AGO TODAY:

9/18/64 – The new TV sitcom series "The Addams Family," starring John Astin, Carolyn Jones, Jackie Coogan and Ted Cassidy premiers on ABC.  It will run for two seasons and again, remain in syndication for decades to follow (as well as inspire numerous new adaptations to this all-time classic group of creepy and ooky characters.)
