The six of you probably mentioned, we will say 100 instances of musical artists and curiously enough, "radio" was only mentioned once. Not sure what that tells us but it is interesting that perhaps you did not grow to appreciate so much of your favorite artists by listening to them on the radio. No point; just making comments. |
