Boys,
For God's sake...MORE TUNES FROM YOUR "KEY" ARTISTS, PLEASE...I "get" that you're going "harder," and more
"Buzzy". But c'mon. It's like you've dropped the entire catalogs of Floyd, Zep, CSNY, and Eagles. YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THIS, FELLAS. I
mean, who in the Hell wants to hear the same Goddamned Billy Squire tune at precisely 3:40pm every day? Please, in the name of all that's good and holy,
GIVE ME A CLASSIC ROCK STATION, OR JUST CALL IT "CRAP ROCK REPEATER", officially. Y'know?
Christ. I listen, and listen, and only Mad and Vaughn pull up "gems", on purpose, seemingly. I know it's a free signal (and I'm still digging
on the XM, thank you very much), but YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS. Can't ya? Thanks, and selah.
Okay,
bobbo

Um...
So, no denial that you're not a Classic Rocker, anymore? Come on, bro. You can do better than that. And I think we should leave Billy Joel out of this. Hell, I LIKE Billy Joel....though I wouldn't expect to hear him on the Bear, with exception of a couple of cuts from GLASS HOUSES or the live "Captain Jack" from SONGS IN THE ATTIC... BOB can be okay, but by-and-large, it's just...a weird mix. Guaranteed to hack you off within forty minutes, for sure...I've always expected more from 104.7, when I dial it in, though. Y'know? Case in point: the Old Lady and I were headed to W.F. for a little 8-ball the other night, and we got---I couldn't have planned this better myself---"In the Dark", by Billy Squier. Followed by (drumroll here) I DO NOT KNOW. STP? Slipknot? The Disturbed? No idea what the Hell it was, but it didn't fit, and WE DIDN'T DIG IT. I told her to hang on, I was "gauging." This silly selection was followed by an Allman cut, "No Way Out". BACK TO FORMAT, IN ONLY FOUR EXCRUCIATING MINUTES. Probably nice for some, but--Godamighty, man. That one track did not "fit." I remember Lee Abrams talking about "disposable music" and the imminent demise of Oldies as a format in '95, and he was probably right. But there's potential in C/R, if the ore is mined carefully, and accordingly, maybe. I realise that the harsh judgement of my opening salvo probably hit you wrong, and it's true I've always had an ear for "softer" stuff than you fellas, but I'm only suggesting that Classic Rock, as a format, might be better served (and a Hell of a lot more interesting) done differently than it's being done, trackwise, on the current rotation there. 'Kay? Okay, Bobbo
