This era was just unforgivably bad for rock n' roll. the programming is cringe-worthy. Even now, decades later I struggle to maintain an anthropological ear in the face of truly awful music. No matter how shallow, vapid and disposable you find the playlists of pop radio stations today, you can't look at this and think that it used to be better. Today's CHR is a direct descendant of this rubbish.

Your characterization, "This is what Lucifer listens to while sitting in his hot tub of molten sulfur with Richard Nixon and Jesse Helms," is spot on!
ReplyDeleteSatan should be reminded, though, that one is known by the company one keeps...
Well, what about all the gay people that popularized disco music? Were they in the hot tub, too? Maybe they were, indeed, Republicans.
