I mean, Internet radio, which is basically a guy with his iTunes putting it over the computer, is the only way you're going to get true eclectic music programmed.
When I listen to the radio, I just hear so much music that doesn't even sound like people. The vocals are all tuned, and the drums are all fake.
But in those days - in the mid-'50s, early '60s - there was less than 300 radio stations that were playing country music and a lot of that wasn't full time.
The last time I really got into new music that wasn't heavy metal was probably like... TV on the Radio? I think that was it. That's the last time.

I was a kid, and I remember my mother singing. She was also a radio soap opera actress, but my mother sang.
I always read what I write out loud, and I did that long before any radio thing. My editor finds that unusual.
I'm playing an Amazon warrior princess in a new radio comedy series called 'Elvenquest,' and I'm playing a Russian genius in the comeback of 'Red Dwarf.'
'Dragnet' (the 1951 original, transferred nearly intact from radio) served as a veritable template for all cop shows to come.
The digital revolution has disrupted most traditional media: newspapers, magazines, books, record companies, radio.
Gleason became like a mentor of mine. I had Gleason helping me on television, Godfrey on radio.
