oh, the pain

Today on my way to work, I was flipping around the radio dial, looking for music.

There was nothing wrong at first. The radio played one of my favorite Jane's Addiction songs. I happily sang along to Jane Says.

I'm going away to Spain, when I get my money saved... gonna start tomorrow...

The song ended. That's when it happened. I realized I was singing along with the local "classic rock" station. More horrifically, that station often plays "lite rock."

I was going to tell you Jane's Addiction concert stories from back in the day. Then I realized that, given how far back in the day these stories actually are, maybe the classic rock station was the right home. Ooooooh. The pain.

Scary, huh?  I first time I ever felt "old" was when I first heard "Hotel California" called classic rock!  That was way back in the 80's!

It is scary! I think it is, sadly, a required part of aging. I never expected it would be Jane's Addiction, though.

Well, I remember when there weren't any oldies stations.  Then, we needed them so we could listen to the 60's.
