So true. I posted something similar recently. I remember being stuck in traffic on Sunday nights coming home from my aunts house in Long Island and my father would be listening to the oldies. God, it was torture. Anyway, think about it. Stairway to Heaven is 50 years old? I think the music from the 70s and 80s still sounds so good because the new music sucks
Get off my lawn. Happy weekend to all.
