Seriously Jack Off

WCBS FM 101.1 is gone and replaced with that 70's crap. The last FM "Oldies" station in New York was taken off the air and replaced with a 70's, 80's and 90's nostalgia station, don't we have about 20 of those in NYC. Their website was also taken over for several hours and replaced with Jack. Why the hell go from the Beach Boys to the Beastie Boys? At 5 PM without notice they changed formats. The reason it was a surprise is to not rile the anger of thousands of loyal listeners.

Mickey Dolenz, of The Monkees, celebrated his 100th show today at B.B. Kings on the same day his radio went silent. The oldies station is not completely gone, yet. It has been turned into an internet station. I wasn't alive in the 50's & 60's but I know the music well because of this station and now another generation will grow up thinking that awful Madonna or Britney remake of an oldie is the original.
