Commercial radio is terrible. It has been for a while. Take any morning zoo program, from NY to San Diego and you will see the same formula. Talking over each other. Bad jokes, Prank phone calls. Playing the same 30 songs corporate picked out. Rush wrote a song about this very thing. I don't assume anything about you because I never heard of you and more important, never have read any of your comments to the best of my recollection. Your resume isn't important to me or this discussion. You love hearing "Jack and Diane" everyday for all eternity. I don't.
