At a certain point, I just had to unplug the radio. First, a radio talk show came back from commercials to the strains of a hugely popular song from 1995.
"Even as bumper music, I can't stand this song," I announced to no one.
Then, the host started referring to a contestant on a hugely popular reality TV show I'd never watched.
"Is it a slow news day?" I mused aloud. "Is there nothing more interesting or pressing to discuss this morning?"
Of all the nerve--getting back to the show by playing a song I don't like that many others favor and then talking about a long-running show that people enjoy. You'd think the station had calculated that radio is for the people and showed the audacity to play music and discuss topics that interest its audience.
Honestly...
