The radio is not where to listen to music any longer. Independent radio is a thing of the past like independent network news.

Listen on Pandora, or Spotify, or SoundCloud, or Noisetrade, or Bandcamp all online.

There's better access to better music now than ever in the past, for less out of pocket expense.

Anyone can try their hand at being creative and recording and making it available for others to hear these days. The barriers are incredibly low.

So you can't make money at it. Just like the dulcimer strummers in the hills of Appalachia back in the day. So what!

Justin Bieber is the latest in a long string of heart-throb magazine page fillers. When I was in elementary school, all the girls had posters of David Cassidy hanging in their lockers torn out from those teeny-bopper magazines, and the boys had some girl named Christy McNichol (I think that was her name). This was before the Farrah poster and the swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated came out.

Thing is, the Bieber can sing pretty well live and has Michael Jackson quality dance moves at the same time. I say more power to him - he's an entertainer. I hope he can stay relatively unsullied by the fame - only time will tell.

Haven't listened to broadcast radio now for a couple of years. WAY too much other good music easily available to anyone reading this post.
