On the other hand, there wasn't a REAL oldies station while I was growing up. Most of the blissful stuff you lucky sumbitches just took for granted, from Patty Duke's "The End Of The World" to the Count Five's "Psychotic Reaction", was something I started absorbing like a starved-to-near-death sponge when Al Gore invented the interwebs. Sure, there were stations playing "old" stuff, but not from the rock & roll & pop lineage/continuum; it was Spanish and Italian AM hits from the '60s and '70s, which, if you haven't heard, consider yourselves truly blessed - that shit makes ABBA sound like Merzbow on a
seriously angry day.
