I was listening to the alternative station here in dallas yesterday and
they're having this then and now weekend to promote an upcoming Depeche
Mode concert. So what they do is play a song from a band that *was* big
and then a song from a band that *is* big, get it? It's a THEN and NOW
weekend . . . Well I'm driving home from work and they start playing
HMTMKMKM and that is what they use for the song from the band that used
to be big, what's up with that? Is this a precursor of days to come? I
feel like I'm gonna look up some day soon and find all my radio presets
are on the classic rock and oldies stations, but I'm still listening to
the same stuff I've always listened to . . . anyways, they played
matchbox 20 or someother *hip* song and I was thinking, HMTM is still
light years ahead of this crap? Is there any end in sight to the whole
one hit wonder era that we seem to be going through? Maybe all my
favorites becoming classic rock is not a bad thing, at least i won't have
to listen to stuff like sex & candy and three am on seven different radio
stations at once . . . does anyone else think that U2 and other eighties
favorites are not too far from classic rock stations? Some of the stuff
is almost twenty years old . . . maybe getting older isn't such a bad
thing, all your favorite music on the radio again, your clothes are
starting to come back into style and the old clunker that your gramps
sold your for a dollar on your sixteenth birthday is all of sudden worth
thirty grand, or at least it would be if it wasn't for that gallon of
mustard that spilled out all over the back seat, but that's another
message entirely, thanks for letting me ramble, write back if I've
offended or inspired you or anything:) adios amigos
