At least, he plays a lot of the kind of stuff I imagine he'd choose. He plays more new music than you'd expect from a guy in his 60s, and more old music than you'd expect if he were just trying to sell CDs. I completely agree with you about radio in general having gotten totally lame, and Sirius-XM is only a little better than terrestrial radio, but that's enough to keep me subscribing. FWIW, I think Tom Petty chooses the songs for his show too -- he doesn't venture as far afield as Dylan, but still brings in some obscurities.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498182649002259949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-80881565671017230172009-12-22T22:59:29.779-05:002009-12-22T22:59:29.779-05:00Sorry to hear you have Hep C Jim, maybe now it'...Sorry to hear you have Hep C Jim, maybe now it's time that you got in touch with the people you've maligned and apoligized to them.<br />You know who they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-26688902870502876852009-12-22T21:04:48.576-05:002009-12-22T21:04:48.576-05:00The first British import CDs, back in the Pleistoc...The first British import CDs, back in the Pleistocene when cds were spankin' new, had entirely different and CLEARER mixes of all the Stones' LPs than the US cds.

Very rare to find a book that separates the music from the image with respect to the Stones.<br /><br />Which comes to mind can one separate the image from their music? Over the years (except for the last decade or so) it overlaps in great detail. Is it their music or is it what we think of them?

Who is it that thinks they know better what music should be played on the radio than ALO (or K.F. for that matter)?<br />That's why I dislike Sirius, and why it'll probably go out of business. It's 90% the same old shit. One of the things that really brought on the demise of rock'n'roll and is never discussed is how lame things got when DJ's were no longer allowed to pick their own tunes. It's now done by computers that depend on "marketing research", or some such tripe. Radio is a castrated medium. If you want to play great music on the radio, music that people haven't heard before and aren't totally sick of, then you're forced to work for free. Very depressing.....<br />I'd love to hear Oldham do a show where he could play whatever he wanted, I might even pay for it, but I'll be damned if I'll pay to hear anyone pick songs off a playlist.
