(Which is much like the MOR stations of 15 years ago, pre-conversion WKRP style.) The station managers of that era came from the late 40's and early 50's where the brand of noise known as MOR was the "rebellious" style, and the status quo was..... Now-a-days rock is in the same position, the station managers are the rebellious kids from the 60's, and they have to rub their brand of rebellion in our faces, never mind that it is now the status quo. Bring Back Big Bands. Ahhh- Now there was a REAL rebellion, the 20's. And look what it got us! The depression (now who says that wasn't exciting?) and the second War to End All Wars.
