WMFU found that Google Books has scanned issues of the old Billboard Magazine going all the way back to 1942! Click here to see all the bad ads, tons of articles about copyright (Not predicted in any of those many articles? A time when Google would scan all old issues of Billboard...). Wade into the sea of musty yellowing pages and perhaps, perchance, gaze upon snapshots in time, like the one above. Snapshots that show brief, fleeting moments when my Eddie Money shared the rarified air at the top of the charts with the likes of CSNY, U2 and R.E.M. It probably would've been much more expensive for Doug Heffernan to buy a private performance in his living room from Money back then.
