Music was wonderful for a 40-year stretch from
1960 to 1990. Then it all kinda went sour.

The 80s sucked.
I messed up a perfectly good marriage; met, married and divorced my
previous ex; worked for a pittance for 80 or more hours a week; nearly let
myself fall prey to deep, dark depression; had to painfully reinvent
myself.
But the music was usually cool. Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" and "Time
After Time" still make me cry, though.

I was targeting the "forced" music which predominates
the media. Of course if you want to get more in depth
then we can always highlight the illustrious achievers
of multiple genres and that goes further back.
What gets me is these "classic rock" stations which
pop up all the time, but they only have 34 songs that
they play over and over, while leaving hundreds of songs
unplayed.
It's all a conspiracy to make us pay for satellite radio.

Not really. Well, sure, the mushrooms might explain that
year of the Beatle's White Album and Who's Quadrophenia,
and draft beer did contribute to hot summer nights in smokey
pool halls where the rock nearly went country.
I'm just saying that hip hop is nothing more than very bad
poetry being barked to the illiterate, whereas the British
influence embellished Americana.

Were they a year taken together, or a year each? I'm trying to figure
out whether that leaves eight or nine years still unaccounted for.

I can't tell you how much IAWTP. Then again, our local
classic rock station has gone out of its way at night to
actually play some of the non-standard classic tunes.
It's part of promotion to establish a cool identity, and
they include a little story about the song/band. The
other night I even heard I Don't Know You by NRPS. I was
floored.
Damn fine song too. I'd forgotten how tight some of their
instrumentation was.

If you will excuse me, Some cute little brunette named Tammy
stole her boyfriend's car and credit cards and put me up on
the 14th floor of the "Yachtsman" for a week in Myrtle Beach,
while spending thousands by day, and smoking the sheets by night.

The 89's sucked. I lived in Kentucky all through the 80's. Maybe it was
Kentucky that sucked. Yeah, I bet that's it.
