Terrestrial radio has an antenna tower and a licensed frequency in a specific location... each location has similarities and then it ends there... local flavor... support... is acquired and understood because you live there... one clearing ...house for music and ideas, rather than integrating local passion, experience and alternate opinions into the mix is a sin... local input, debate, opinion, alternate methods and ideas creates improvements that would otherwise never occur... we are all the same yet we are all different... like the cities and towns across this country... tough to mow the lawn on Saturday with the box screaming Boston from the garage while doing the front yard and once again a short time later when you wash the car... that's why the kids listen to their iPod... they are the future of music... they will be here and hereafter we’re gone… the music matters to them and crossing boundaries exposes a new artist through an adjacency to similarities derived from their personal influences so evident in their work… isn’t that how rock history was created... when you mixed The Band, The Who, Joni Mitchell, The Doors, Poco, Genesis, Dan Fogelberg, Jimi Hendrix, and Cream with the Doobie Brothers, Harry Chapin and Pink Floyd... and still had room in your mind for your Dad’s Frank Sinatra collection… or in a Zune perhaps....
