"Rock N Roll 'Aint Noise Pollution"
AC/DC
A sad day in Dallas Radio history today. KEGL, a long time rock fixture has switched formats. No matter your taste in music, you should be sad. The demise of the medium by way of "Corporate Radio" is almost complete. I find it ironic when the word monopoly is thrown around, Microsoft immediately comes to mind. ClearChannel is worse in my opinion. They are almost singlehandedly responsible for the generic playlists that float through the airwaves today. Now Dallas (the fifth largest advertising market) is left without a true rock station. Like we need more syrupy stations playing Billy Joel and Barbera Streisand. Sure there are a couple of classic rock stations, an alternative rock station, neither of which will fill the hole KEGL did. If you know me, you know what type of music I like. Good 'ol 3 chord blues influenced rock n roll. Thats it. I have severe tunnel vision when it comes to the type of music that I prefer. I lot of summer nights were spent cruisin around with the Eagle on. Oh, well, more time for audiobooks I guess...
