I get that all the time. My friends tell me I like the oldies and I correct them and say "No, I like CLASSIC ROCK."

I'm used to it by now.

Ugh, I hate when people do that. I'll go on about Bob Dylan and The Beatles and Fleetwood Mac. And then the kid i'm talking to will be all "Man. I grew up on the Classics. I LOVE Duran Duran." And then I walk away disgusted...

A kid is looking through the record racks next to her mom when she turns and says...

"...Look, Mom, Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings!

Okay, y'all are gonna think I'm nuts but I was in junoir high when Edge came out and I swear I used to think she was singing "Just like a one window".

Yeah, it didn't make sense to me either. Although being the budding writer I was, I couldn't for the life of me figure out why she was using "a" and "one" in the same line because they would both be referring to the same window and would therefore be redundant.

Oldies? Oh lord

. When I think of "oldies" I think of doo-wop or some such nonsense.

I'm only 18, but I know good music when I hear it and I DO NOT think of FM as oldies. lol. I, too, think of doo-wop kind of stuff and like classic country. FM is still just rock to me.

Oldies is to Classic Rock what "Oriental" is to Asians. They mean the same thing, but the first name offends the people who go by the second one.

Haha. I like it!

I think some folks forget that most of the "classic rock" they love so much is far older now than the music of the 50s and early 60s was when it was first designated "oldies."
