Dear Kanye West

250. Disagree. I'm half a century and listen to college radio...

not commercial stations. That seems to be the dividing line -- indie vs. (what I consider) Corporate Crap.

I'm fortunate to have lived in a pre-Clear Channel world. I spent a lot of time listening to "black" DC stations, and it wasn't all CURRENT music. We had outstanding alt, classical, and classic rock stations, and a couple of cheesy pop/easy listening stations. But this was in the Dark Ages, pre-Internet. Now everyone has music at their fingertips, but seem less exposed to what's out there. It seems very insular. And we're all selective and choose what we like -- no difference between generations there.

Many of these wildly successful pop stars can't sing for shit, but CorporateAmerica decided they'd be stars, and stars they are. I find that kind of sad for an entire generation...
