When you have a song on the radio your career and your life changes maybe for the better and maybe for the not so good... depending on how it's going that day.
What sounds good on the radio is really loud kick drums and loud snare drums, when everything's bombastic and in your face. It's the equivalent of a houseguest who screams all the time.
Life is too full of distractions nowadays. When I was a kid we had a little Emerson radio and that was it. We were more dedicated. We didn't have a choice.
I would love to expose multiple younger generations to Frank's music. It's not an easy task because It's not ever going to be plastered all over the radio for the masses.
I still love physical product. I still hold out for actual CDs, because in radio, everyone just wants to send you a file to play.
I'm still proud of what I've done, even if it hasn't been the biggest song on the radio or hasn't gone to number one.
I listen to Radio 4 and put the iPod on shuffle. I like the randomness of, say, the Stones, then something from Nina Simone, Nick Drake or Bob Dylan.
There is a feeling, when you listen to radio, that it's one person, and they're talking to you, and you really feel their presence as one person.
Most conservative and progressive talk radio is primarily just that - bloviated opinion and whacky viewer calls.
I would recommend that anyone who wants to do comedy on TV to do radio first.
As far am I'm concerned, I don't listen to radio anymore. They play the same ten songs over and over again, so why would I?
The radios are going to dictate. That's another fight. That's another story there. I wish they just let it be.
Frank Booth: I can hear your fucking radio you stupid shit!
I went to night school and summer school, I made that whole year up and I actually graduated on time. Also, I got a part-time job at the radio station.
The decision to write full time was made when I was twenty-eight years old and had just had two small plays accepted for BBC Radio.
When I was in high school, The Dave Matthews Band was a local band, and that was the first time I was starting to connect with a live band that was something that wasn't on the radio or TV.
Mobile communications had been around for a long time, but always as a limited market, constrained by the radio spectrum.
Even though I've been reasonably well known for quite a long time, I still can't get a record on daytime radio or on MTV.
For a long time I was trying to be poppier and younger. I didn't want to be on public radio or do any of that stuff for older people. Then I realized that that is exactly what I listen to.

Simon: I believe the technical term is a *fuckload* of boats!
