Dave Matthews (sadly) says it best “Funny the way it is”
WBCN was “Legendary, innovative, & The Rock of Boston”
but no body cared or cares and just chalked them up as “corporate”. I am not going to go on an all out rant how
corporate.
My point is how it’s funny to see outraged fans and
listeners critique the station about how it “sucks”, but once it was going to
be taken away everyone comes out of the wood work to listen and attend. Being someone who has been through a change in
a station ::cough:: ::cough:: This One, I have seen first hand how people
react. I just listened to their final moments as they played anything and
everything they wanted and their last song Pink Floyd’s "Shine On You
Crazy Diamond". In their final moments before the station went to static
they played a montage of major accuracies that happened over the air, including
their first moments of broadcast, Howard Sterns call of 9/11, many jocks addressing
them selves over the years, and ended with a thank you and good bye…
