    I live in South Florida. We have three stations all claiming to be "classic rock" stations. But all three are owned by iHeart Media and they're awful. Their playlists are only a handful of songs that they play over and over.

    Wish we had real classic rock stations here.

    My sister was friends with Kevin Cronin's wife back in the 80s. She has a picture of the three of them sitting in a hotel room on her fridge. But I digress.

    The stations here do occasionally play Rush and REO Speedwagon. But they never play classic rock artists like The Grateful Dead, Little Feat, Warren Zevon, Elvis Costello, or any of dozens of artists.

    I lived in the Philadelphia suburbs for years and the radio there was phenomenal.

    WXPN, WMMR, WYSP (before it because a talk station), MGK, IOQ, etc.

    They were fantastic. Each had DJs with personalities and music you wanted to listen to.

    I especially loved MMR because, after 10PM, then had what they called "The Marconi Experiment" and you would hear anything from Led Zeppelin or the Talking Heads, to Hank Williams, to Billie Holiday, to spoken word things like Firesign Theater. There were syndicated shows like King Biscuit, or simulcast shows from the Tower Theater, or unreleased recordings from a soundboard at some show.

    Here, all three "classic rock" stations have the same announcers (not DJs, mind you, just announcers), and they all just play the same twenty songs over and over.

    Sucks.

    Pretty sure I was at this concert. Good seats, as I remember.

    It's mind boggling to me that these guys aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    I could never find the right way to tell you
    Have you noticed I've been gone?
    'Cause I left behind the home that you made me
    But I will carry it along
