I found this a few months ago, but never posted it. I kept meaning to, but didn't. :-) Anyhoo.
At the Board of Storm and Fury, in the ongoing debate over 'Some Girls' as a choice of single, someone opined that it was a bad song, then said, paraphrasing here, that if it's a good song, radio stations will play it. If 'Some Girls' isn't being played, we can't blame the radio station.
Au contraire, my friend. 1) Good songs aren't automatically played. 2) Yep, we can blame the stations, or more specifically, their owners.
So here's the article I've been meaning to post, on the state of radio in the country. The most appalling bits are the part about MTV (wow, no surprise there). It's long so I'll just snippetize the part that applies, but you can read the entire thing at the
Las Review Journal. The article is by Doug Elfman.
( All this Elf wanted for the holidays was a college radio station )![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
