If that is the worst thing I ever do, ytou've got little to complain of.
Compuserve was on the computer when I got it as a free computer. It was not owned
by AOL.
Later AOL owned it. Later Warners was owned by AOL. Next week it'll be sold to BMG
or ATT for all I know.
My bank has gone through 4 owners since I've been there.
I watch tv and there is a WB channel, I don't stop watching tv because of it.
There is a poster of bugs bunny at the post office, I  don't stop sending mail.
Even if I switched tomorrow would that change your ideas. I doubt it.
And switching the debate away from radio and the Big 5 doesn't improve radio.
I refuse to allow AOL to run my life.

I hate AOL/TimeWarner - period. That they own 100's of little industries is just a
part
of why I dislike them.

Here's a quote about  radio from the radio reporter at the conservative and
business geared
Dallas Morning news.
"In the 6 years I've been covering radio, the prevailing sentiment among people

who've taken the time to call or write is that 'radio sucks."  Al Brumley

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.

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