IMO it is because no one will waste their time on re-recording a bad song.
And those that do re-record a song must believe iin it, or they wouldn't spend
all that time recording and marketing it.

In the 9 years I've been covering radio in Musea, the prevailing
sentiment among people
who've taken the time to call or write is that 'radio sucks."  Tom
Hendricks

You'll know  music is getting good again when the singers look more like Janis

Joplin and less like Brittany Spears.

This protest is about

1. the end of payola (which I think is illegal and should stop)
see http://www.salon.com and search payola for 6+ articles on the new
payola
2. Radio following the license agreements that they freely signed with
the FCC to get their licenses, which included
local support. If not they should loose their licenses.
3. The refusal of local musicians to keep supporting radio that refuses
to support them. Why should they.
4. The refusal of local musicians to keep supporting the Dallas Morning News
that
refuses
to review local music.

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