What is strange about the Thursday countdown is that a few months ago I
heard "Little Old Man" by Bill Cosby which was a hit in I believe 1967, and
that certainly is not in their rotation. But given the fact that Billboard,
WABC and CHUM all show Penny Lane ( NY and Toronto both at #1), then WODS is
indeed rewriting history and misleading the public.
But because I heard the Bill Cosby song, I really have to question WHAT is
going on here.....it may be simply sloppy research by them.

Once upon a time that could have caused you to put your license in jeopardy.
