Not old, just pedantic. To me, "oldie" connotes a certain flavor of rock that didn't make it past 1979 intact. After that, you need a different word. "Classic" might work.
Also, get off my lawn.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What is even happening?
It might be a classic, but I don't think it's an oldie, yet. Based on my rigorous yet highly subjective standards formed by listening to AM radio in my youth.I don't know. In the 80's they played 50s and 60s music as "Oldies". Same difference, really.
In other news, I like the Stunt Husband.
"In a Big Country" is not oldies music.
And that song.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
See, I never listen to the radio, so I haven't had to hear any 80's music labled as "oldies". However, hearing Muzak versions of Duran Duran and Cyndi Lauper still freaks me out.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Furniture people are going to die bloody. They just delivered my television armoire. The one at the store had handles on the front of the door and decorative plates on the inside for when you opened the doors and pushed them back to watch television.
Mine had the knobs on the inside and the decorative plates on the OUTSIDE. I had to gently pry open the doors and unscrew the knobs only to discover the decorative plates required an EXTRA FUCKING HOLE WHICH IS NOW DRILLED INTO THE FRONT OF THE DOORS.
Grrrrrrrrrr.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Well, I just know that in the 1980s, when I was grooving out to "Hungry like the Wolf," the Beatles were "oldies," and those songs were about 20 years old.
"Hungry Like the Wolf"? Now about 20 years old.
I am too young to have oldies, damn it!
It means that you are old. Old and decrepit. Cranky about the crunk.
I am. I SO am.

Are you sure they didn't just put the doors on backward? Might it be fixable?

Compassionately intolerant
Joining the 'not OLD' dammit brigade.
I listened to a 'classic' rock station for a while until
a) I got sick of hearing Bad to the Bone every. frelling. half-hour.
b) Motley Crue ended up on the play list.
God help me. Mine is a wasted life highlighted in a pop song.
Although I never aspired to getting a hand on a member of Duran Duran. thankyouverymuch.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Steph, thank you SO VERY FUCKING MUCH for that earworm. Seriously.
Also, what should we call the phenomenon of seeing the video for said earwormed song in your mind's eye? Mindwormed? Because all available circuits are now taken up with Brits in 80s hair jetskiing around a random island. Unless that's not the right video. In which case I've gone insane. Again.
