The Death of Commercial Rock Radio is an Example of what happens when Corporations let computers select the top 200 songs and then play them again and again and again... because that's the way to capture the ears of the largest audience... and sell advertising at the highest price... This is a taste of the world AI will create..

VKK SAID: I wish the Bay had a decent rock station, I remember being big mad how they seemed to get rid of it when we lived there lol

SE REPLIED: You're probably thinking of Live 105, which plays alternative rock and 90's rock. Live 105 went away for a while, but now it's back, and it was very much needed. But I do wish they were more like they were when they first started in the 80's. In the 80's, "alternative rock" meant an "alternative" to regular rock, which was stuff like Led Zeppelin and the Who and Pink Floyd, and also Motley Crue and Def Leppard and stuff like that. Live 105 played new wave and industrial and goth and punk. Their format changed in the 90's when grunge mostly killed all of those other genres, and "alternative rock" was no longer an alternative to regular rock, it was just the mainstream rock: Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains and stuff like that. And I guess they still played some punk, but mostly newer punk like Green Day and the Offspring. So I wish they'd go back to the new wave, industrial, and goth music they played in the 80's. But there doesn't seem to be as much demand for that now, for some reason.

SLJ SAID: I'm really NOT a fan of jazz. But I actually have one of my car radio presets to KCSM, College of San Mateo. 80% of the time they're playing music classified as jazz but it's too chaotic for the meter in my head. I can't seem to find the "pulse" of many songs so I bail and go to one of my other stations. BUT, then again, sometimes they play some really cool and interesting songs that I simply love! The same is true with a lot of classical music so again I have a preset to a classical station. Some of that music I absolutely can't stand but every once in a while they play some really cool songs. I wonder if part of my diverse listening (rock, country, punk, electronic, folk, etc.) habits come from being a musician because I find myself figuring out what they're doing rather that just enjoying it. One thing for sure though, I don't listen to a CD collection. I'm a random radio listener.

SE REPLIED: I never used to like jazz either, with the exception of big band/swing. But I didn't think I liked other types of jazz...but then in 2016, I went to the San Jose Jazz Festival for the first time, and I realized that there are a lot of different styles of jazz, and I actually like a lot of it! But big band/swing is still my favorite. I spend most of my time at the big band stage when I go to the jazz festival.

What does it take to convince Google News that I don't want to read ANY STORIES EVER about the Kardashians? I click on fewer stories and that makes my google news KK free for a WEEK... or maybe TWO and then the INFESTATION RETURNS!

U2 and The Rolling Stones to Play Live Aid-style Concert for Ukraine

A Live Aid-style benefit gig is to be held by some of the biggest international musical acts to help victims of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and to pile pressure on Putin.

https://www.kyivpost.com/post/13950

The UK newspaper, The Sun, reports that it is intended to hold a “Live Aid-style” benefit concert for Ukraine at Wembley Stadium on Jun. 24. Musical greats, including U2, the Rolling Stones, the Killers, and Pink, have been asked to perform in support of President Volodymyr Zelensky.
 
A globally televised benefit gig for Ukraine with some of music’s biggest names is likely to raise substantial funds to help victims of Russia’s invasion and pile highly visible global pressure on Russia's President Putin.
 
A source is reported by the newspaper as saying "It’s something people have wanted to do for a while, but a date has now been nailed down and booked at Wembley Stadium. Invitations to perform are going out thick and fast to the biggest names in the business."
 
Other stars, including Sir Paul McCartney, Adele, Florence and the Machine, and Noel Gallagher, are also likely to be approached for the Live Aid-style event.

Miracle - Grateful Dead

(E, A, B7)

I need a woman 'bout twice my age,
A lady of nobility, gentility and rage,
Splendor in the dark, lightning on the draw,
go right through the book and break each and every law.
I got a feeling and it won't go away, oh no.
Just one thing then I'll be okay,
I need a miracle every day.
I need a woman 'bout twice my height,
Statuesque, raven-dressed, a goddess of the night.
Her secret incantations, a candle burning blue,
We'll consult the spirits, maybe they'll know what to do.
And it's real and it won't go away, hey hey hey,
I can't get around and I can't run away,
I need a miracle every day.
I need a woman 'bout twice my weight,
A ton of fun who packs a gun with all her freight.
Find her in the sideshow, leave her in L.A.,
Ride her like a surfer riding on a tidal wave.
And it's real, believe what I say, yeah.
Just one thing that I've got to say,
I need a miracle every day.
It takes dynamite to get me up,
Too much of everything is just enough.
One more thing I just got to say
I need a miracle every day.
