Ah, but no longer avant-garde! #1 of what? - a shrinking, sinking 
medium? 'Underground' is now 'classic'. What a revolting development! 
Bellbottoms and bongs have been replaced by slacks, Cadillacs and 
country clubs. Ewww ...

As I am now well into my seventh decade, I am somewhere between 
'classic' and 'vintage' myself, so I am not criticizing the format. 
My comment is that broadcast has lost its 'edge', doesn't know it, 
and doesn't care.

The trend-setting generation of the present does not have radio even 
on its horizon. iPods are not being filled from radio.
