It must be difficult to be in the music business these days. It doesn't
seem like that long ago that there were a small number of radio stations
playing the top 100 or so. I know there are a lot more stations now
because I occasionally use the auto scan. I can't tell you much about
the content because most of the time I land on a station in the middle
of a blaring commercial, which generally makes me automatically flip to
another station. Thank goodness my car stereo has a CD player, a USB
port and an auxiliary socket. When the radio gets tiresome I switch to
pre-recorded music. I have more than 50 albums burned and copied to each
of two memory sticks plus one with comedy podcasts.

It's basically bad rock and roll with country themes and played by
people who dress up western.
