Comments on Silencing the Boss

Umm, yeah, cuz the classic rock format is so filled with young artists.

Do you think it could have anything to do with the song "Radio Nowhere," which is a pretty thinly veiled indictment of how Clear Channel has ruined radio?

Or perhaps they refused to pay-off the right people.

This meshes well with the radio story in the print edition this week. Look, there was a time when radio was king but, with the internet, you can hear plenty of Springsteen with a simple mouse click. Or you can mail order his new CD from several retailers. The days of Clear Channel and Wal-Mart sanitation are over, so the former's decision not to play The Boss is, in the end, no big deal.

I haven't listened to a broadcast radio station in two years. Sirius has a fairly decent stable of indie/alt stations, and it would be just too painful listening to shilling DJs, insipid ads, and generally lame tracks on regular radio now.

People still listen to the radio?
