The "Progressive" Promised Land

Beautiful music died because the public's interest in instrumental music
died. They no longer wanted to hear it... in the 50's andd 60's there
were numerous instrumental hits. Today, irrespective of the format,
there are none. Even listeners to formats that play 60's music don't
want to hear Walk Don't Run and Telstar any more. Radio reacts by not
playing instrumentals, and since they don't sell, the record companies
stop producing them.
None of this is radio's issue... if instrumentals come back, stations
will play them.
MOR artists are all dead, except for Wayne Newton who is probably a
hologram or a mummy.... there is nearly no audience at all for that
format and none under about 70.
Tell it to these guys Dwardo.
