Feeling Old

One of my favorite radio stations that I listen to in the morning, 101.9 has changed. I really do love listening to Chunga and his silly antics. I have listened to the many changes this station has gone through. But this change was a little shocking. There is no more talkie talk in the morning. Which I really miss a ton. But they have so improved the music. It is now music for Generation X!! Holy Crap, that's me! All the songs that come on are songs that I LOVED when I was in High School and a Freshman in College! I found myself singing, very loudly, to Pour Some Sugar on Me! Which back in the day was sooo bad. And it still is. But that was MY music! That's not the only song. Almost every song that came on catapulted me back into High School. Every song had a memory connected to it! I felt young again. My kids just stood and stared at me as I "got down" in the kitchen and mouthed the words to several different songs. Sigh. Yes, kids, there was a time when I could "get down" and not look silly.

I realized that when I get into my Suburban I am appalled by the music that is played on XM radio, and through other air ways. I find myself tuning the dial to Sinatra station. Jaren wants to gag every time I do. He hates that kind of music. I tell him it's called big band, and it's classic and so safe!!

I've hit a milestone. I'm so old now that I hate most music that is played on the airways. It's crass, vulgar and downright sexual! I can't believe some of the lyrics that these so called artists are getting away with!!

And to think, it all started with Gone with the Wind, one of my favorite movies. Thanks a lot Rhett Butler!! "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!!"
