Classic rock stations only PRETEND to respect the Beatles


The Beatles WERE great, most cherished and beloved ever, but hey how about actually PLAYING their music sometimes.

It ain't right to just use a PICTURE of John Lennon on your website or mobile van and then just play Deep Purple all day.  WHO IS THAT FOR?

Are a bunch of guys fixing a roof too embarrassed to admit that the Beatles "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is a really great and treasured song?  Instead it has to be "Radar Love" by Golden Earring?  That's like the all-time roofing anthem.  WHY?

"We all agree that this is the best song to roof to.  No Paul McCartney at ALL.  Hey maybe we'll hear some JETHRO TULL next!"


You never hear Elvis on rock stations either.  How come?  He was the KING of that!

Instead it's Steely Dan and Grand Funk Railroad.  GOOD PROGRAMMING.

I guess I'M the one that's wrong, because they certainly must have charts and graphs to prove that their formula is a winner, otherwise why would they keep doing it?  But imagine a CLASSICAL music station that refused to play Beethoven or Mozart.  Would not be very good.

"Beethoven was great.  But here's some crap instead!"
