The Everley Bros., one of which just passed a week or so back, did some
truly phenomenal work before you were a gleam in Daddies eye. I am sure
you can find some poorly recorded videos on youtube. They even had a tv
show, till they got into a spat, live on tv, and one of them walked off the
set, and they never sang together again. And the planet is musically
poorer because of it.

The WDR, a German radio station, had a program called "Open House", when
I was around 14 years old they played all kinds of "less popular" music,
not at prime time, but during the night and the early morning. Btw. I
was and I'm still a fan of the Beatles :) and I love old school hip hop.

Huh?
Maybe they played Schoenberg where you live ... but I never heard of
this kind of stuff until much later in my life when I did some serious
musical studies. Maybe not serious enough ... I think that Schoenberg
and other of that ilk are no better than the rap you mentioned earlier
and are really just examples of folks showing how smart they (thing)
they are.
But, when I was growing up the radio featured the Everly Bros,
Beatles, etc. I'm 50
and I'm 47. This is the point. When we were young and turned on the
radio at night they played Arnold Schأ¶nberg, Bill Laswell, ...,
Vienna Art Orchestra. Today they play Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed
Peas, this crap has nothing in common with music. The kids don't
know music, because people of your and my age make the play lists
for the radio.
