how often to you get into your car, put your seatbelt on and turn on the radio? you thumb through your selection of preset stations, right? station number one: "Date Rape" by Sublime, station number two "Comedown" by Bush, number three "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right to Party" by the Beastie Boys, number four: some other washed out song from the late 80's/early 90's.
these are great songs, from great artists that I grew up listening to. but lately, I've been thinking "At what point do our local radio stations take these songs off of the regular play lists???" I mean, some of these songs are creeping up on 20 years old. and as much as it makes me feel super old to admit, these songs are OLDIES and should be featured on radio stations that fall into the OLDIES genre.
the radio is no longer a source for the outbreak of a new band. no longer the onset for new tunes. and I know people have been tuning to other avenues like PANDORA, GROOVESHARK, and Satellite Radio. its the sign of the times. guess the radio will never be what it once was.
