WHAT?! No more CD101.9?! I don't even know what to believe in anymore, if they can just overnight turn New York's Home for Smooth Jazz into The New York Rock Experience. Rock "Experience"? Really? There's money in rock radio now? Reeeally. Maybe whatever Marketing Genius™ is behind that should just give me all their money instead, as I would indeed put it to much better use on important things such as coffee and bus passes.
I guess this is what the world needs to give up in order to get CBS-FM back, if in diluted form, after that horrible ROCK EXPERIENCE that we all have to endure if we are in a CBS/Viacom radio market. I miss hearing the Association and the Foundations every hour on the hour. I need that kind of consistency in my life.
Seriously, though, CD101.9 is dearly important to me. My old roommate played it all the time. All day long. All the time. All the time. I'm not exaggerating, there was a boom box in the kitchen that was on and set to CD101.9 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all the time, all the time. All the time. Al Jarreau. Stanley Jordan. Spyro Gyra. David Sandborn. All the time. All the time. For what it's worth, I suppose it's on a permanent loop in my head so I wouldn't need it anyway (7 years of that, people, 7 years!!!) but it's the principle of the thing. FOWAD, 2 Columbus Circle, are any cornerstones of my city left? (Honest, I just took a Google Street View tour of my old neighborhood and freaked myself the F out.)
