I'm So Glad

Im so glad that my childhood (growing up in the 70's) was filled with classic AM Gold Hits. Summer days at the beach or in the playground with the radio playing those wonderful easy songs - well written, cleanly executed and always with a catchy pop hook. I feel bad for kids today because they have a really lame soundtrack to their lives. Sure, some rare kids will discover what little good stuff is out there, but its different than sharing it with an entire generation. Most of the music is either steroidal testosterone overdose, wannabe thug, or teen angst which goes as stale as those potato chips you brought home from the beach as soon as you graduate highschool.

    I hate to burst your bubble, but this is the same thing people have been saying since when you were growing up. Every generation thinks the new generation's soundtrack is noise.

    i try to remember this when i think about the condition of things today. however, it does seem an all time low though. this is an age where anyone with a computer can become a dj or musician without any training or knowledge or records. don't even get me started on MTV.

    I fuckin love this video, and I never hesitate to watch it when somebody posts it.


    The dad of one of the kids in my wife's classroom was Kells', like, go-to, in-house engineer for a long time. Worked on Chocolate Factory and everything. I really want to buy that dude a beer and get some stories out of him.

    AM Gold is the one section of my collectron that I can claim is totally on-point. This is proof:

    Remember when country crossed over? Need I go deeper?!

    Okay, then, hows about a pseudo-disco classic? And some of y'all say the flute ain't funky.
