Today's Chicago Tribune had an article called "Talkin' 'bout whose generation?" by Ann Powers.
She was comparing the generations based by decade, and saying that everyone is getting hit with the sixties thing because of the Woodstock thing.
She also had the top ten from August 21, 2009 and August 21, 1969. I know that yesterday I made myself sit through an American Top 40 show so I could at least have some idea what is being played for the younger folks these days.
TOP TEN TODAY
1. I GOTTA FEELING-- BLACK EYED PEAS
2. PARTY IN THE USA-- MILEY CYRUS
3. RUN THIS TOWN-- JAY-Z, RIHANNA & KANYE WEST
4. YOU BELONG WITH ME-- TAYLOR SWIFT
5. USE SOMEBODY-- KINGS OF LEON
6. BEST I EVER HAD-- DRAKE
7. DOWN-- JAY SEAN
8. KNOCK YOU DOWN-- KERL HILSON
9. GOOD GIRLS GO BAD-- COBRA STARSHIP
10. HOTEL ROOM SERVICE-- PITBULL
There were some good songs in here as well as the other ones in the top 40.
HOWEVER, I must admit liking the 1969 ones better for some reason.
TOP TEN- THEN
1. HONKY TONK WOMAN-- ROLLING STONES
2. A BOY NAMED SUE-- JOHNNY CASH
3. CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION-- TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS
4. SWEET CAROLINA-- NEIL DIAMOND
5. IN THE YEAR 2525-- ZAGER & EVANS
6. PUT A LITTLE LOVE IN YOUR HEART-- JACKIE DE SHANNON
7. GREEN RIVER-- CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL
8. POLK SALAD ANNIE-- TONY JOE WHITE
9. GET TOGETHER-- YOUNGBLOODS
10. LAUGHING-- GUESS WHO
Oh, Well. That's Then, This is Now. --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
