I couldn't agree with you more.
That's why I started this boycott, to stir things up, to get people
questioning why radio does nothing
cool any more, and refuses to support local music, etc.
Keep talking, I say.


Now the boycott info
   * * *
It is time to stand up for local musicians and end the real boycott
the radio boycott of local music.

Do it because you support local music
Do it because you hate local radio
Do it because it'll be fun to stir things up for the first time in 20
years.

Thanks for adding your thoughts and keeping the thread moving,

to others reading this:
Please, for the sake of local musicians, don't drop out - instead
Support local musicians, and oppose the media/art monopolies by refusing

to by  products
advertised on local radio until local radio plays local music . Give
your comments and keep
this thread/boycott going, thanks
