Your choices are a matter of opinion, with which I'd disagree
pretty
violently. Moyles I've never heard, as for Ross and Evans, they
should
have been strangled at birth.Ouch. Alan, you may well be completely right of course (I can't
stand Ross or Evans on the radio either), but aren't you in danger
of sounding like your father by expressing such as this view out
loud? :-)

With respect to Alan, this has been the basis of many of my comments over the last two years of so – 1960's/1970's rebels have switched positions. No longer are they rebels but they are, in truth, establishment.

I fully agree on that point with the suffix, referring back to a previous thread, as long as that doesn't get tied in with a style of comment which makes the author sound or worse still behave like those we hated so much in are informative years.

Could you please elaborate as i'm curious, when i was in my informative years the only thing I hated was the bullying by some of the kids in my school to me and to others. Some of the teachers were bullies too, come to that, but as i retaliated after a couple of years of it, with me smacking one of them (the kids) in their mouth, it stopped. Other than that I'm a very compassionate human being who just voices my opinion, and doesn't expect everyone to agree with it. I will listen to all sides and express my take on it all. These forums are just a group of thoughts and opinions, but as in life some people think their way is the only way, and off course it's not. LA and 73's geoff

My reference was to the great number who called for change, wanted extended choice in music and audio delivery methods. Wanted to embrace new ideas and tried like mad to pull older people along with them.
Those that went out and tried to make a difference.
What I see here is, sometimes, is very same people who did so much to kick-start change now sounding like older people in the 60's who claimed change wasn't needed.
Today, there are so many doing good things for change. Equally, the failure of some to want to move on is sad to read.
I can assure you it wasn't a comment directed at you Geoff, more a general comment from that which you wrote.

Re: Fair CommentsI forgot to say the following in my previous e-mail about my attitude to current radio.
Crikey Alan, you are getting OLD, you have just said the same thing twice in a couple of minutes!

My formative years musically were late 50s through to the mid 70s, then
punk hit and I found myself sounding like my dad. But people are talking
as if there's something wrong with that. I am who I am and am very
comfortable with that.
Ah, apologies if I was indicating you shouldn't be comfortable with it. Yes, you should be comfortable, but also have your sort of live and let live approach. I think the problem all to often is that people say, "This isn't for me so therefore it's rubbish and anybody who likes it is mad" instead of "This isn't for me, but fair enough, others seem to like it".
Hopefully the majority of 'our' generation would at least be more tolerant of the generations that come after us, rather than show the intolerance that previous generations showed to us. Maybe that's what we have to learn that they didn't.
As far as Ross and
Evans are concerned (and their followers, presumably), they think
they're funny and amusing, I don't – it's as simple as that.
Doesn't that rather leave you on the outside with nobody on mainstream radio you can listen to? That's a bit harsh. Where are you and people like you supposed to tune?
