I think that marketers and advertisers are figuring out that the baby boomers are falling off as consumers and that us Generation X kids are the next big thing in spending. Pretty soon you’ll be hearing less and less 60’s and 70’s music, TV and pop culture in society and more 80’s and early 90’s stuff. FWIW I don’t think it’s a bad thing at the moment. When it gets to a saturation point in about 10 years or so I’ll probably want to bash my head in with a Rubiks cube but for right now I’m enjoying it. I grew up in the 80’s and started working in radio in '86 so I enjoy hearing most of the music from that period. It’s the cliche stuff that you hear over and over that drives me crazy. There’s so many great underplayed or forgotten songs out there that it drives me nuts to hear the same 800 songs over and over on local radio. Thank god for vinyl, CD’s, MP3s and streaming audio on the net. ---

I wouldn’t mind partying in the limo before/after, but being subjected to TWO 80’s hair bands…:doh: :eek3: I have a hair metal mix cd in my cd collection somewhere. I will have to look for it tonight. I like a good bit of the hair metal, that was when I was doing my growing up. I was age 3-13 in the 80’s and my dad has always kept current with music, so I heard hair metal every day. 😃 ---
