I used to listen to the "Oldies"station" now I don’t even recognize the format. The “Decade creep” as I named it, was insidious, in the mid ’90’s Disco started creeping in, I heard the writing on the wall. I joked, “in another 10 years they’ll start playing hits from the ’80’s” how prescient of me. They did, and as time passed they added more and more now I see they play mostly stuff from the ’90’s and early ’00’s. Artists like Elvis and Dion and the Belmont’s and even the Beatles, and many, many others no longer get any airplay, as if the late ’50’s-early ’60’s music never happened.
