chicago radio - pure shit.

get about 100 miles west, there's some good AM stations, but you're mostly still looking at greatest hits of the 60s, 70s, and the 80s/JACK radio and its variants/and autotune pop/hip hop/modern country.

houston is pretty cool though, last time i was there, they had an oldies country station on FM
