This is a request, Mr. Radio Man
My blog is going to remain silent today as I take time to reflect on friendships and how precious life really is... While I'm taking the day off, I'll leave you with this:


Todd and I have started listening to our local "oldies" station's new format in the car. But I'm not talking shoo-do-wop, groups that start with the word "Four" for $200 Alex, kinda oldies. The following are just a sampling of what they are now calling "the greatest oldies of the 70s, 80s and early 90s" on this station:

1. Girls on Film - Duran Duran
   
2. Losing My Religion - R.E.M.
   
3. Need You Tonight - INXS
   
4. Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode
   
5. We Got the Beat - The Go-Go's
   
6. Der Komissar - After the Fire
   
7. Goody Two Shoes - Adam Ant
   
8. Pop Musik - M

Please note: it's no longer being called "retro". It's oldies. Although I think it's great we finally have a station we can stomach (that is, in between the Springsteen and Bon Jovi they also play here and there) -- I'm also quite distressed that while we seem to have one hand on the radio dial, the other is now on a bottle of Geritol. Did our parents go through this when the Beatles became oldies, too?
