Behold the mission statement of our new radio station, 99.7 The Dead End Street—er uh—The Boulevard. Springsteen and Jackson Browne hard to find on KC radio? Y'all didn't try very hard, then! Stations playing "only the same few song from artists that have many great songs"? Well, then why has The Boulevard already given Billy Joel's "Captain Jack" two spins in the last two days? Pure poffeycock!All they've done is lop off the harder stuff from the KY's old playlist like AC/DC, Ted Nugent, Van Halen and Ozzy and replaced it with Dave Matthews Bland, Coldplay and R.E.M. Apart from that, it ain't that much different than KY was, just minus the personalities. Once again, this is what happens when radio stations are run by corporations who listen to all these consulting firms and demographic surveys telling them what they think people want to hear. Granted, KY was in desperate need of some re-tooling, but it wasn't worth blowing up if all they're going to do is replace it with this crap! Welcome to Dullsville, boys and girls...
I'm sorry, but I just can't imagine people tuning in this station in droves. As Fred Sanford used to say, "I give it two weeks..."

Sounds like that might be called "adult classic rock". I've only heard "Captain Jack" on the radio once in 14 years of living in Nashville, and that's a crime, too...
