It's fun going back to the good ole days and looking at the music we listened to then. It's a bit hard to type "the good ole days" though. When the baby boomer generation hears that term, it usually means the time of no cars, no tv, no indoor plumbing, etc. Now OUR music is golden oldie material! Goodness -- sometimes it's even been made into elevator music!
I can remember when WMBD Peoria played elevator music, and that's the station we listened to at home. Until mom left the kitchen! Dishes and clean up were done to WIRL, a more contemporary radio station -- unless she came back into the kitchen! Again, I'm sure we were no different then kids of other generations before and since. My kids tried to change the radio channel in my car. And that was okay -- as long as I wasn't in it! :) And my mom did not appreciate the Beatles -- until their music was about 20 years old. Then it was okay! :)
Today's choice goes back a little further than 1969 but is still in the high school era. Lou Christie's Rhapsody in the Rain was banned from WIRL radio because of it's suggestiveness. See wikipedia if you're curious, or just listen to the song. :)
