This made me smile

It was fun writing my previous diary entry, and I got some quite  humorous responses that made my day. Thank you all for them.

This note from “Only sujema” really tickled my fancy.  I post it here to share with you because I was not able to post my own comment in reply.  I hope she sees this.  Has anyone else had trouble posting notes at OD?

Here is what Sujema said:

Since I have become old, I’ve found that “oldies” music fits into these categories:

1).  Iconic “Born to be Wild”  is one of them.

2.) Was great the first 10,000 times I heard it, but come-ON now!  Enough is enough!  (anything Bob Seeger comes to mind – especially “Against the Wind”   Also Lionel Richies “I’m Easy”)

3.) Didn’t like it when it came out, still don’t like it!    (Bubble-gum pop comes to mind – by the 1910 Fruit Gum Company – )

4.)  Songs that went out of circulation and when I hear them again, bring back to me a time and a place long gone ( much of the non-Beatles British invasion – except the Stones, who I never got into)

5) The songs and artists I loved then, and still love (endless list)

When you DO hop up on a table and dance to the grooviness, I wanna see the video!

Will do!  It might not happen anytime soon, however! 🙂

I agree with her categories.  I’ve listened to some oldies from the 60s hundreds of times.  I never tire of them.  They bring back good memories of that decade when I was in junior and senior high school so well.

I did, however, tire of certain hits by artists like Bob Seeger and Lionel Ritchie.  Except when covers are done, which in my view entirely outdo the originals.  Such is the case with Dimash Kudaibergen’s rendition of “Hello” by Lionel Ritchie.
