I just heard Nirvana on the oldies station

[Grunthor]

No offense mean’t but that was almost 20 years ago. I know, I was there.

When are sixties collections going to be advertised in The Legion magazine?

Or The Military Channel?

[raccoonradio]

And that old timer Paul McCartney wound up on the cover of
the AARP magazine...When I’m 64, er 68...

[Constitution Day]

I turned 40 today. Thanks for even more encouraging news. :(

You should meditate with more conviction and you will see and feel Nirvana, not just the sound.

If it goes great with pick-up truck on a highway late at night I am all for it!

I just heard Nirvana on the oldies station

Who is she, a singer or something? :>)

[Retired Greyhound]

Ok, that’s just sad. Never heard of Queen? What planet are they on?

I think Cohen is a good choice for the role.

[My Favorite Headache]

LMAO!

[Gordon Pym]

Consarn it you Whippersnapper!

Smells Like 42-Year-Old Spirit.

[Sybeck1]

Teen Spirit just started on ROCK 103 in Memphis. Is your station Clear Channel too?

[bvw]

Nirvana’s for Geezers.

20 years is where the line is usually drawn.

I heard Metallica on the classic rock station in like 2002. Weird to think about. I wonder how muddied the lines will get.

My roommate is reading Chuck Klosterman's latest book he has an essay in it about time travel and he has an interesting related footnote:

"Before Fox plays“Johnny B. Goode,” he tells his audience “This is an oldie—well, this is an oldie from where I come from.” Chuck Berry recorded “Johnny B. Goode” in 1958; Back to the Future was made in 1985, so the gap is twenty-four years. That’s almost the same amount of time. Yet nobody would ever refer to Back to the Future as an “oldie,” even if he or she were born in the 1990s. What seems to be happening is a dramatic increase in cultural memory: As culture accelerates, the distance between historical events feels smaller. The gap between 2010 and 2000 will seem far less than the gap between 1980 and 1970, which already seemed far less than the gap between 1960 and 1950. This, I suppose, is society’s own version of time travel (assuming the trend continues for eternity)."

I stopped listening to new music in the mid 80’s - seriously, who is this Nirvana chick?
