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 Tom Hendricks, editor of the zine Musea and Hunkasaurus of Hunkasaurus and His Pet Dog Guitar http://musea.digitalchainsaw.com
