		<description>After giggling at the Dean of Boring, I opted for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.utm.edu/~relmore/MyWebStuff/HOMEPAGE.html&quot;&gt;link to Mr. Elmore&lt;/a&gt; instead, and found &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.themusiclover.com&quot;&gt;The Greatest MP3 Site On the Net&lt;/a&gt;! Which isn&apos;t. But once again I find myself pondering the madness that is top forty music. Britney Spears. Destiny&apos;s Child. N&apos;Sync. Backstreet Boys. Enrique Iglesias... I don&apos;t know anybody who listens to this crap more than once. How does such curdling waste float to the top? 

I was talking with &lt;a href=&quot;http://home.talkcity.com/infiniteloop/dfwradio/&quot;&gt;Mike Shannon&lt;/a&gt; a week or so ago. He explained he&apos;s been to a couple gatherings that he called &quot;radio reunions&quot; this year. Where alumni from various radio stations get together to eat, drink, and reminisce about the good old days, before &lt;a href=&quot;http://clearchannel.com/main.html&quot;&gt;The Evil One&lt;/a&gt; took over. He said no one&apos;s willing to take chances any more. Radio stations only allow &quot;sure things&quot; to get on the radio, because even though most of the radio stations in any given part of America are owned by the same small handful of big companies, they&apos;re still afraid you&apos;ll turn that dial. So they all end up playing pretty much the same crap. This crap only caters to about 20% of the public, but people&apos;s tastes are so diverse, most of the slices of the pie are thinner than the meat on an Arby&apos;s Roast Beef sandwich. 

Catering to a sheepish 20% is comparatively better than catering to ..oh gee, I dunno.. ME!? 

But who buys it? Especially when Mr. Elmore&apos;s friend is giving it away for free? I just don&apos;t understand human behavior. 

And with that I now return you to our previously scheduled boring thread.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I don&apos;t know anybody who listens to this crap more than once.&lt;/i&gt;

It certainly can be nice when all your friends share your musical tastes, but it does not a very deep statistical sample make. Lots of people listen to that &quot;crap&quot; over and over again.</description>
