I'm talking about music here not people. Depending on your age, the Oldies have a different definition.
When my peers refer to Oldies they're digging Motown, the Beatles, the Rolling Stone, etc.
The other day I was talking to a classmate and she said something along the lines of "this stuff is the best."
Confession time: I don't listen to the Oldies. Never.
Oh, every now and then I'll catch Aretha doin' her "Respect" thing and I'll sing along . . . cuz I kill that one . . . but, honestly, I never seek those tunes out.
Does that make me a bad child of the 60s?
Maybe it's a Brachman thing. I'll listen to a song or two on the radio, but I don't seek them out. Course you don't listen to the radio, so you'd have to make an effort to listen to oldies!
ReplyDeleteI never intentionally listen to oldies.I listen to my cds .I've got a 300 disc player on in my shop I listen to all day on shuffle.It's like my own station.Jim
ReplyDeleteI'm picturing you, Jim, in that shop swaying, singing and sawing.
DeleteI am a child of the 80s...so my oldies aren't that old, Ellen. I think your style makes you a rebel! And that is pretty cool by itself! --Erik
ReplyDeleteThanks, Erik. It's something I aspire to.
