In those days boxing was very glamorous and romantic. You listened to fights on the radio and a good announcer made it seem like a contest between gladiators.

I do not find it easy to articulate thoughts about religion. I remain the sort of person who turns off 'Thought for the Day' when it comes on the radio.

The relationship between the media owner their relationship isn't strictly with people and audiences. It's also with advertisers and that's the most relationship in radio in fact it pays the bills.

I like to write sad songs. They're much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don't want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesn't they want that positive uptempo thing.

Politics aside it will be hard for any new liberal radio network to outdo the professionalism of NPR.

Politics is not my life. I have a career in radio and another career in film.

Flipping the dial through available radio stations there will blare out to any listener an array of broadcasts 24/7 propagating Religious Right politics along with what they deem to be 'old-time gospel preaching.' This is especially true of what comes over the airwaves in Bible Belt southern states.

Radiohead and Our Lady Peace are doing the seven layers of guitar and I kind of jumped on that before anyone else did.

Ain't nobody making music to not be heard and the easiest way to be heard is to be on the radio but you should never compromise who you are your values or your morals.

There was this mountain village in Russia where my music was getting in on some German radio station. I remember this because music used to get up to Saskatchewan from Texas. Late at night after the local station closed down.

My friends are mostly familiar with music that plays on the mainstream radio.

I like so many different kinds of music just because all I did was listen to the radio as a kid.

It's a really unfair world because life is where I am all day long we listen to American music. So I don't see why the radios in the U.S. cannot even put aside one hour a day just to play music that is not American.

If I had to play only for people who liked the music because they heard it on the radio it wouldn't make me happy. That's why I'm working so hard to have yes a profile as an artist but also a profile as a DJ.

Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today?

I like all kinds of music. I listen to Abigail Washburn the Punch Brothers and Marc Johnson the great clawhammer player. I also listen a lot to Sirius Radio there's a lot of bluegrass there.

On radio and television magazines and the movies you can't tell what you're going to get. When you look at the comic page you can usually depend on something acceptable by the entire family.
