[BC] Listening in the car

[Steve Newman]

Hmmm... Yes, time marches on but I wouldn't put down the very industry that 
supported me for 30 years. :) Those "droning ads" paid your salary.
I share your disgust as well but the very thing I see as an art is now in 
the hands of every kid who wants to do radio. I won't argue the 
over-compressed/iPod contradiction. I'll leave that one alone. :)

Have a good one Nat
