I've noticed something in the background music of the restaurants I go to, nearly all of them play classic rock. Einstein's Bagels was doing a good tour of '70s bands. Hardly any place does current stuff. The most current stuff I hear is at least three or four years old. Is it a licensing thing? Is old music that much cheaper? I don't think they're trying to cater to my age group, because I've noticed my age group is pretty invisible to marketeers these days, unless they're selling drugs and retirement things (pout).
Or is it that the music I grew up with is that much better than newer stuff and everybody knows it?
Connie, I'm definitely the target audience for much of the background music I hear. I have been known to bop my way through the grocery store, quietly singing along to whatever is playing.
Paper-wise, I'm closing in on my conclusion. I'm on target to meet the page length goal. I think I'm ok on references. Once I'm done with the draft, I need to read it through along with the rubric.
I'm sorry to fuss about school so much here. Hopefully once I'm in the groove of writing papers each week, I won't be such a whiner.
Target market. In my neighborhood TJs, they play Erasure, Depeche Mode, REM because people around my age shop here.

I guess I'm surprised so much of the music of the 70s and 80s is still so popular. I wasn't listening to listening to 30-year-old music when I was young person with money to spend and stores trying to appeal to me.
edit: Einstein's was running through late-60s/early-70s stuff today, and I was the oldest in the place by easily 15 years. Maybe it's like the sudden craze for Tony Bennett a decade ago.
Steph! Are you aware of this? [link]

Well of course. Go put on some Billy Idol and soak up the quality.

Or I'll go way back and listen to the Moody Blues sing about the moon landing. Ten billion butterfly sneezes.
I threw my back out somehow. This was a dumb thing to do

I saw it yesterday. AWESOME! Also, the en dash IS the worst punctuation mark.
Oh no, Burrell! Are you lying on the floor?
