my back hurts... my knees creak...
Old? I am feeling it today. I turned on the radio this morning, just to see what is going on and the station had a “retro at noon” show going on. Sweet. I always love flashing back to the days of big hair, bright colors, shoulder pads, blue eye shadow and leg warmers. It’s funny to me that I can hear a song and remember exactly where I was when I first heard it. I can remember the cheesy yet really cool videos that I saw sporadically throughout the decade as well. Come one, there was nothing cooler then “Take n me” by Ah-ha and “I wanna be your sledge hammer!” It was Claymation people! Before Claymation was cool and hip like it became after The Nightmare Before Christmas!!
I am fully prepared to walk down memory lane with nostalgia over my very youthful days when I was in elementary and junior high school. I am ready to relive my pretty in pink moments, my brat pack, my breakfast club… the works. Hell, I am even excited. I have never listened to this station before (it’s new) and so I am finding a great deal of respect for them because around here all you can find in angry boy bands, gangsta rap, or country. I need something else. Sorry.
As the time clicks closer, I pump up the volume and get ready to dance around the house while cleaning mostly for Nut’s entertainment. I am happy to share this music with Nut.
And so the show starts… with no rain by blind melon.
WHAT.THE.FUCK.???
BLIND MELON???
IS RETRO???
This is a fluke, right? This is the last song on their play list from the last set RIGHT?!!!
PLEASE.DEAR.GOD.TELL.ME.THIS.ISN’T.RETRO.
Alas, Chumbawamba’s Tubthumping, Bush’s Glycerine, Tori Amos’s Crucify, U2, smashing pumpkins, and Gin Blossoms follow “No rain”!!
Am I really THAT old???

Guess what? I touched Shannon Hoon's (deceased lead singer of Blind Melon) foot at a concert when I was about 19!!! I feel your pain, and I also heard Tori Amos on an "oldie" station and wondered the. exact. same. thing! WTF??? We aren't old!
