There's a report that some "rock" radio station in DC is changing formats to easy listening. My friend Peter (a fellow rock cognoscenti) and I exchanged a few emails about it and agreed that it was no loss - the station sucked, with a playlist criminally limited to about 60 songs, when 6000 should be the norm. The Kinks released this cut over a quarter of a century ago (to minimal airplay, of course) and it's even more true now. If you're reading this and you're under 30, you gotta believe me - radio used to be so Cool! Check out Little Steven's Underground Garage. That's what it used to be like. WPGC in '67, WHFS in "69, WGTB in '77 - there were gods in those days....
