Eduardo talks about how bad indy bands are and that nobody listens to
them. I guess he thinks that the Beatles, Stones, Eagles, Bon Jovi and
others were always hot commercial bands.. everybody starts out indy.. the
ones that are given a chance are the ones that make it. The Beatles came
up doing dingy clubs in Germany and worked their way up to command
performances before they were ever signed to a lable. The Eagles used to
come and play our little local venue in Astoria (the National Guard
armory) before anyone ever thought of "Take it Easy." Jon Bon Jovi played
small club venues in New Jersey and the surrounding area for years before
he was "discovered".

But they were not ready for mass exposure on the radio any more than a
medical school grad is ready to operate on people alone without an
internship and residency period...

Radio, when it started asking listeners to grade the songs one by one,
learned that most of those things were not a service to listeners, who

Your biggest mistake is asking listeners' opinions about things they
know nothing about. You are supposed to tell them what to like. Not
the other way around.

Of course, nearly every station of any significance in the market you are in
does regular listener opinion gathering.

So, while these stations are based on the wants of the general public in
each specific format, you think they suck.

Perhaps you expect things of radio that radio can not give you without
failing in its ability to serve a greater number of people than you alone.

There will always be a few people with tastes that range from quirky to
eclectic, and for whom there will be no radio station fitting their needs.

Bull****. Los Angeles doesn't even have one Active Rock station. Is
that an esoteric format?
