when i was a kid, there was a radio station in of all place, little
rock arkansas, i am in minneapolis/st.paul, that rock station would
come in late at night, and really good if it was a clear night, and
they would play all sorts of rock music that was obscure, and that was
back in the 60's and 70's. i really miss them.

The reason why folks listened to out of town stations 50 years ago is that
there were still no Top 40 (or other "hip" formats) in many markets. So kids
in Ruidoso, NM listend to KOMA from Oklahoma City and those in Northport,
Michigan, listened to WLS and so on.


we had 2 top 40 stations back then, including the one where i got to
pick my own top 40. we listened to other stations because there was a
wide selection and variety available to people back then. properly
interpreted, it means we had options. but even our top 40 stations
played a wide variety. today you get a selection some corporate toady
picks for you.


Now, there are many more stations. For example, in the case of Northport,
they had two AMs giving day, but not night service, in 1960. Today, it has
over a dozen usable signals day and night. They have 8 or 9 distinct formats
to chose from, and have no need to listen to static and fading on distant
AMs.


we know music went to f.m. that does not mean they are locked into a
playlist some corporate toady has chosen for us to hear.


*they used to play a song about hemp rope, and the hippe that craved
the rope, it was hilarious. today if you dare criticize a
conservative, you are banned from air time, censored like the nazi's
used to do. conservatism, just say no, its the healthy thing to do.

Yes, I am sure that not-so-subtle references to drugs amuse you... uh,
pardon me, befuddle you.

it was funny. just like itsibisty yellow polka dot bikini, monster
mash, or purple people eater, nether of those could make it with
today's corporate feverish grip on the media.

Top 40 stations played 40 songs, give or take. And WDGY was a Storz station,
and Todd Storz was very rigid about playing the list and nothing but the
list.

The music is picked the same way it was done 40 years ago.

And variety, as a perception, is not created by playing more songs, it is
created by playing songs the indivudual listener likes without the ones they
don't like. That means commonality and concordance on the biggest hits, and
nothing else.

And, of course, that is not the way it happens. In the best of cases, all
but the brand new songs are picked by the listeners themselves.

I doubt anyone would play the drug reference song, as that would likely fall
under being outside community standards and subject a station to a $325
thousand dollar per play fine. But I know of plenty of novelty songs like
Monster Mash and the like that have been played in the last decade...
nothing has changed.

There are some real practical limits... and they come to community
standards. A discussion of drug legalization is OK, while a person giving
instruction on how to best set up a bong might not.

Is the Estrogen I bought at the GNC store a drug? I doubt very much it
will turn me into a drug addict though.I think I will check out Evansce
and that Femi whatever it is called stuff.

I can't use my old Remington electric chainsaw to cut ''it'' off because
that democrap B HO Butt Kisser Dumbass who lives catty corner across
the street from me, he broke my chainsaw.HUMP! he once told me he is an
old country boy (from Bolton,Mississippi.You know where Bolton is, don't
you?) and he knows all about chainsaws.I had to show him at least seven
or eight times how to turn it on.He couldn't figure out that little side
button on the handle must me held in before the chainsaw can be turned
on.

Last Spring, he (he once said he is sixty two years old) bought a lawn
mower at a pawn shop.Believe it or not, he couldn't find the oil drain
plug on the bottom of the engine.He pushed his lawn mower over to my
sidewalk and knocked on my door, he hollered,,, Show me where that oil
plug is!

That is the way it is with ALL democraps and libturds, They Don't Know
****!

I am from Carthage,Mississippi, www.thecarthaginian.com my family
moved to Jackson in 1949 when I was eight years old.Maybe I am not
exactly an old country boy, but I have always known about chainsaws and
lawn mowers.
