An Open Letter to Clear Channel

Dear Clear Channel:

I tried. I really tried. I tried to let go of the annoyance I felt (and still feel) whenever I listen to the radio at work. I tried to enjoy the easy-going, relaxing music that your stations play. I even let myself be swayed by the fact that these songs really aren't that bad. But for the Love of God:

STOP PLAYING "PIANO MAN" EVERY FUCKING DAY!!!!

Yours sincerely...

You know, you can probably sue for infliction of emotional distress for that! :p

The funniest comment I ever heard about an overplayed song was when WAAF played Metallica's Hero of the Day way too much. A listener sent them an e-mail that they read on the air. It basically went along the lines of:

Dear WAAF,

Could you please play Hero of the Day one more time? My parrot has almost got the whole thing memorized.

It could be worse...

I used to sit by a guy who listened to Limbaugh EVERY DAY without fail.
*shudder*
I was considering filing a complaint with OSHA.

That's not the worst part. Clear Channel has been embedding "Vote Bush" under every song it plays.
