A listener once called a smooth jazz station where I worked and asked why we didn't play Led Zeppelin. I tried not to sound incredulous, but at the time, I thought it was a silly question. "We're a smooth jazz station," I thought. "Why would we play Led Zeppelin?" Then, I thought, "To broaden its bases, the station now has Chicago, Steely Dan, and Crosby, Stills & Nash on its playlist, among other rockers."
In that light, it wasn't such a silly question.
