Woke up, etc. and so forth.

Two different people mentioned to me today that WCBS-FM New York is no longer an oldies station, and then I read all about it on Daryl's blog. It's now some sort of random pop/rock format that's popular in Canada, called "Jack FM."

When I was a kid, I hated WCBS-FM because it was my parents' oldies station and played only '50s and '60s songs. Later, I hated it because it played '80s songs, which meant that I was officially old. But I always appreciated having it as an option.

Still, I also like the idea of doing away with a strict format and just playing regular rock songs. Who is it that said that Classic Rock, Modern Rock, and Top 40 should never mix? Why have we been lulled into believing this for so many years?
