Still can’t get used to “Golden Oldies from the ‘90s”.

I remember back in 2002 I heard Guns-N-Roses November Rain on a classic rock station in between The Doors and Rush. I remember saying to myself “Life is moving way too fast if this is considered classic rock already.”

Double Sigh!

They are considered a ‘classic’ now.. along with STP, Pearl Jam and others..

I know I’m not that old.

Also one has to ask themselves...if a song is 17 years old like say Smells Like Teen Spirit...isn’t the song classified as being OLD? I do.

Just saw his new video on VH1 Classic about 15 mins ago...not bad. Still, think his 80s and 90s work is HIGHLY underrated.

LOL...that same feeling hit me about a year ago when I noticed that Peter Gabriel and Jesse Ventura had become twins:

People at my office were unimpressed that Sasha Baron Cohen has been cast as Freddy Mercury.

They have never heard of Queen. ;)

Time marches on.

It seemed like just yesterday that stations like WODS in Boston (”Oldies 103”) were playing the doo-woppin’ sounds of the 50s and 60s. Then it became 60s and 70s and anything pre-Beatles was scrapped. Then it suddenly seemed like
WODS was having us shake shake shake, shake shake shake,
shake our booties. Then some 80s songs creeping in.
Then 70s and 80s.

And now it comes full circle: the songs of the late 80s,
maybe early 90s, that were on the pop charts when WODS
went oldies are now _ON_ WODS.

And they dropped that ugly “oldies” word and are simply
WODS.

If this pushes Tommy Dorsey off the play list, I’ll be outraged.
