This sort of begs the question as to why a classic rock station is 
targeting Gen Xers in the first place.  I thought this generation was 
mainly interested in punk/new wave/altrock (even at the expense of more 
pop-oriented 80s stuff).  Seems odd that they're embracing their parents' 
music (not that it was ever escapable at any time in their 
lives).  Dude!!  Journey!!!  Allright!!!
