Yet another major city has just been rescued from the buffoonery of the Broadcast Bozos: One Washington, D.C. radio station (WETA) took on Bach and Beethoven on Monday, the same day that another (WGMS) dropped them in favor of Sheryl Crow.
At least the new classical music outpost, in comparison to the old, has a stronger signal—the strongest in Washington. The recent frequency switch in Boston had left classical WCRB with annoyingly erratic reception.
I LIKE Sheryl Crow. But isn’t sound quality more important to a symphony than a ditty? Or is this just another manifestation of my clueless elitism?
