It is our job, my job, to allow people to discover the origins of rock. There is also the question of why we broadcast sports games. This is Gator Country, pure and simple. Radio is not a personal jukebox. I listen to many of the same artists requested over and over on the station, but I listen to them on my CD player.
Radio is a free service.
You do not have to pay for it, all you do is tune in. If you do not like it, turn it off. Many of the letters, faxes and e-mail I receive immediately start throwing out accusations of playing crap and so on. Before you do this, research your argument. Zalapi obviously did not research very well.
