Unfortunately, today,
radio stations are more driven by profit than by trying to play a variety of music... so a very small selection of music that appeals to their specific demographic market gets a lot of air play, and very little else will be heard. A country music station will only play country music... a pop station only pop...and very, very rarely do the genres ever cross over. The only real exception to this is small college
radio stations that aren't part of a multinational media conglomerate or pirate
radio stations that are microcasting.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
