although, hfs's program has been horrible for quite some time, this is still concerning. Where they in need of some major renovation? Absolutly, but it is still discouraging to be seeing what it was replaced with. the fact that lollapalooza was cancelled, meriweather has been struggling to say open for years, album and ticketsales are generally down and now this. It is alarming, whether you liked their recent programing or not. This is just an extenstion of the over all lackluster of the music industry, especailly in the (and I use this word very loosly) "rock" genere.
mp3 killed the audio star.....
not exactly, but you get the point.
Most album and ticket sales are down, which means profits for record companies and artists are down, which means record companies are taking fewer risks and chances and there is less motovation for artists to original, which means less creative and original acts are being signed, which means you have watered down radio stations that are not playing hardly any good new music, which means lower listener ratings, which means.....you got it salsa. This is f%*#ing bad. Music is more than just entertainment. It is the voice of generations, the freedom of speach. One of the last freedoms we have that is slowly being striped from us (thanks FCC). Do I listen to the radio that often? Not anymore. Not for quite some time. As many of you have stated I am ususally listening to my ipod. But you will never hear a new artist on your ipod! I have one of the larger pods, but guess what? Eventully I am going to get sick of playing the same dated stuff over and over again, regaurdless of how much I like it. I will want something new and exciting. Something that speaks to and for current and future generations....
Where will I hear it?
?
