[78-L] Too late to circle the wagons

[eugene hayhoe]

Y'all still griping about radio? I gave up on it for music back in the '70s, when the multi-station programmers and corporations finally got it in a death grip. NPR has no competition when it comes to radio news, but it would be nice if it did, 
 
PHC reminds me of Letterman: good guests sometimes, but can't stomach the host's stupid routines long enough to get to them. 
 
The only stations round here w/ anything are the college ones, and I've got 'mo', better' than they do.
 
Sure, I remember when radio was a window into all kinds of the new, but that was a long time ago. One of my faves in the 70s was Gary Lane, who had a great 4 hour 'free form' jazz show on WKAR here in East Lansing back in then; wish I knew what became of him.

I'm in Michigan and can get it just fine.
 
Sure, I wish there were a station that night go from Blind Willie Johnson to Harry Partch to Duke to Ra, followed by Jimi, Rahsaan, Sam Rivers, Mary Lou Williams, late period Miles, Blind Lemon, Red Allen, Linda Sharrock, etc., etc. Be one helluva station and cost me wheelbarrows full of money every month I'd imagine.

I could do without Prairie Home Companion and its pretentiousness. 
Give me the Vinyl Cafe on CBC Radio One any day.
