i'm happy for you.

first of all, KC and the Sunshine Band, Donna Summer, The Gap Band and
the like are hardly what anyone would call "Motown." more like '70s top
40. furthermore, "needed" is strictly a matter of opinion. i say 92.3
The Beat is needed, you say 92 Extreme is needed. there are plenty of
other styles of music not played on Cleveland airwaves. none are more
important than the other. it's all a matter of numbers, not what's
"needed".

the format change of this station further continues my resentment for
current mainstream music and the sad state of commercial radio. i will
continue to seek out music that suits my tastes and not the tastes of
some faceless program manager whose pockets are lined by the major
record labels, all of whom don't give a shit about what kind of music i
need but rather how much money they need (want).

yippee, they're now playing Primus. but in a few months i'm willing to
bet you'll be begging them to stop playing the same one or two songs by
them over and over again. we'll see what's "needed" then.
