Radio Still sucks

Here is one little tidbit for you all to chew on. That being that most records that are recorded as "singles" will produce a sanitized version of the song to suit the moral standards of the time. However the album version will be different in content. So while Who are you played on a top40 station might have some lyrical changes made in the studio an AOR station may rely on the DJ to edit the songs as he sees fit and perhaps let's some stuff go to be cool and or get fired or what ever...Since the advent of the commercial conglomerate stations a lot of this censoring falls on the corporate HQ as less and less is left to the discursion of the DJ who is now mostly an announcer, would be comic, or droid.
Back in the 70’s when I was working in radio the rules were fairly clear cut. Avoid the 7 and don’t do anything stupid.
All of that has changed….for the worse
