My ears- I thought they were decieving me...

Last week when I was cruising around with Oma, I heard something unreal and shocking on the radio. I thought I was going crazy, I thought there was a cruel joke being played on me, I thought there was no way this could be happening...

Hungry Eyes was playing on the OLDIES STATION!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that Dirty Dancing came out 20 years ago...but in no way, shape or form does that mean that music made specifically for that movie are qualified for the OLDIES STATION!!! There's no way I'm old enough from songs of my youth to be on the oldies station.

Then, later on in the week, I'm out with mom. Oldies station is on again...And Blondie's The Tide is High was on. Now, that really isn't right. Where does Blondie fit in with CSN&Y, or James Taylor or The Temptations or the Supremes or any other music created in the 60's and 70's that was light, folky, R&B-ish what have you?? NOWHERE!!!

AND THEN AGAIN on Saturday, cruising with Oma, and the Oldies station is on... Then Lionel Richie's All Night Long was playing... I can understand that a smidge- Oldies plays the Commodores, so transitioning into 80's Lionel makes sense. But holy hell... the only 3 times I have the radio on the oldies, they are playing songs that AREN'T "oldies".

Now some of you maybe questioning why I am listening to the oldies station, when clearly I'm to young and hip for such aged music?? Easy- in the car with Oma I go for neutral happy music that I can sing to and that won't offend Oma. She bitches enough about everything in the world today, why give her one more thing to bitch about. Secondly, when I'm with Mom- that's all she listens too. I try to introduce to her more modern music in a genre that is very 'mom-friendly' however if the song isn't over 25 years old, it just isn't meant to fall on her ears.

Needless to say, I'm afraid of what I'll hear next time I have the devil's radio station on.

Rock out, young and springy, not old and shrivelly.
