the consolations of oldies radio

45 at 5: i gotta feeling!

haha that wasn't so much a complaint about TODAY'S MUSIC as lamenting my inevitable and inexorable slide into decrepitude

Wiki on WCBS is fascinating--I remember that station being a weird 50s/early 60s holdout with very geriatric DJs a decade ago, apparently it had a failed Jack reboot a few years ago, and now does 50s all the way through the 80s.

Now we can lock thread, as perfection has been posted.

i was really glad to hear "they're coming to take you away" tbh

This was the station my parents always had on in the car when I was a kid. So true. So much Valley. I can't even read WCBS without singing it the way the jingle does in my head.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN
GO AWAY I'M NO GOOOOOOD FOR YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU

i think it's Valli btw

sorry, that was annoying
but not as annoying as hearing 80s songs on the oldies station

lol it totally is oops

Not annoying - I actually love him and probably know the words to more 4 seasons songs than I should. My bff has two sisters one named Dawna and one named Sherry.

x-posts - I wonder if cousin brucie is still on WCBS

ha - Dawn not Dawna

Cousin Brucie is on satellite, on the Sirius XM 60s channel. I saw him on the subway a month or two ago. I said hello and he was pretty nice, don't think he thinks much of the current WCBS. I had actually seen him a few years ago on the subway, asking for directions. I asked him if he had ridden the subway before and he said yes, all the time, just not that particular line, so I guess this was a belated confirmation.
