It came to my attention yesterday that the classic rock station in the DC area has packed it in and has been replaced with top 40 pop hits or whatever over saturated, safe corporate pop music is currently big with the kiddies right now. Believe me I am not too sad to see the classic rock station go even though now there is one less radio station in my market that will not be playing Freebird at least once every hour.
So let the kids have their billboard top 40. I understand how the market forces work. The only people who listen to to classic rock (without any hint of irony) are old people and we all know that advertisers could care less about putting out material that old people care about.
So yeah, the only reason I write this post is because of a commercial I heard on this new pop hits station. It started out with that one asshole who sounds like he is constipated say something like "only the best music here baby." They then play some shitty soft ass eagles song for a couple seconds before cutting it off. Then that guy with the backed up voice comes back on and says "just kidding we play nothing but the newest, hottest hits."
Guess what the next song is that comes on. Lenny "fucking" Kravitz. Not even a new Lenny song. It was Are you Gonna Go My Way. I got news for you replacement radio station. Not only does that song suck now, if I remember correctly, and I think I do, that song sucked ten years ago when it first came out.
