Because of the iPod and the iTunes store, people don’t really say that music is from a particular generation like they used to. It’s all just music. There’s not so much of that “you’re listening to the oldies?!” crap.
If its good, then just say so. “I don’t care when it came out, that rocks!” or not. (see Achy Breaky Heart all the way to The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald.
Those of you who are taking note, and wondering why I’m hating on Billy Ray and Gordon Lightfoot, I’m not hating.

FACT: Those songs suck.

But back to Apple…..

Initially I was just gonna write a blog to let you know that Sly & The Family Stone’s Hot Fun In The Summertime is my favorite song of all time. That’s right……ALL TIME. Then I got all self-conscious like “is that new and hip enough? That song came out when I was like 1. Should I name some newer hipper song? I hope people don’t think I like old people music”. THEN I realized that because of how accessible and “right now” Apple has made music, there’s no such thing as old music. So, there, I said it.

In your face, kid.

“HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME”.

You can search all day and you’ll never find another song like it.
Try to resist the urge to sway back and forth like you’re in the Partridge Family.
Do It.

Can’t can ya?

Rock that shit like its 1969.

p.s. “Hot Fun In The Summertime” was a single only release. The Greatest ALBUM of all time also goes to Sly even though it doesn’t include that song.
