It's labor day. The only song I will always associate with Labor day is Sam Cooke's "Working on the Chain Gang". I know, it's depressing, but it sums up Labor in America these days...

It's just a shame we don't hear those classics from the 50s or early 60s... to me, the music from that time is what I consider classic oldies. I love KRTH, but it sure would be nice to hear real oldies for a change.

No 1950s, no early '60s, no '90s, no 2000s, no Elvis, no Rolling Stones, no instrumentals and only one Beatles song. Even four of the perennial top-ten favorites---Satisfaction, Hey Jude, Light My Fire---Stairway To Heaven---are absent. The final twenty are among the "same ol' songs" that we hear on KRTH every day of every month of every year. Let's hope that the entire Top 500 is not as predictable as the final twenty.
