not what I think of when I think of Gospel.......

anyway, I think I will close out my itunes just so you wont feel like you're under the microscope. Its nice knowing that there is REAL news out there, not the canned, pre-approved pap we are spoon fed by the main media.

Thanks for sharing, Deanna

and thanks for being civic minded too. most of all.

Eh - the Gospel group is totally not my cup of tea - and I thought it odd NPR would do such a looong story on them Must be a holiday filler.

I just believe in public radio and community radio and the ties it can build with communities. It's something you don't get with the huge Clear Channel and Entercomm stations.

Anyway - now I'm really craving something sweet. Don't know what...but sweet would be good.

the book i'm reading right now (rednecks and bluenecks) includes some interesting discussion about commercial radio, especially its hand in the dixie chicks controversy.

F**K commercial radio!!!

Seriously, I hate it. I mean I listen now and again, but generally? they're awful. And the bottom line is absolutely money. NOthing else.

I worked in commercial radio for two years...not for any of the biggies - but it sucked just as bad. I HATED it...it was one of the worst jobs I've had.

Also - just recently CC made huge cuts in Rochester...a friend of mine got laid off..she had seniority, was highly qualified etc..BUT since she'd been there so long she was a more expensive employee so they sacked her. Assholes.

Oh - and I think I forgot to mention, I hate Commercial Radio!!!

yeah, i effing hate commercial radio, too. that sucks about your friend.

the only radio i listen to anymore is public/community radio. my favorite station around here is 91.3 WAPS. they're one of the few stations that still has theme-oriented programming, like my personal favorite show "pickin' the grass" (bluegrass) on monday nights.

Very cool looking station! I like the diversity in their music programming AND they run The World Cafe

I pretty much always have a cd in my car - or I listen to my station...I wish I had a stereo in which I could plug in my mp3 player, but I'm po' so that's a while off.

Hey - did your brother make it in for Thanksgiving?
