ira Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 David Hinckley IS the Pop Culture Maven for the New York Daily News...the biggest selling paper in NYC.I e-mail him from time-to-time and this VERY nice man ALWAYS responds.Here's a cool article...(using "American Pie" as a metaphor)...that talks about radio overkill...especially in the A.M. Radio days of Rock and Roll.Enjoy the article...Of course feel free to respond...AND maybe mention some overplayed songs that make you nuts!!! http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment...ticle-1.1003456 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ira Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks Miriam...David Hinckley is a kindred spirit...I first wrote him after the first Raspberries Reunion concert at B.B. Kings in NYC.As my dear L.A. buddy Mel..Curlew...who you met always says..."He gets it"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 A wonderful article. I love American Pie; the station we play at work manages to play the full version at least every other day... and that only includes my shifts, so it could well be more! I can't imagine any station that features '70's hits ever not playing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 107.9 plays oldies - the two most played songs at least daily are...... drumroll please ...... Go All the Way and Wouldn't It Be Nice ....... can't EVER say I tire of either one of them!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ira Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 WOW!...MJ...I can't believe it...but this is a new concept for me..."Overplay Heaven"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Ira, I can't think of any Bobby Vee tunes that are overplayed...outside your house, that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ira Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 For once Tony we agree...Perhaps we can hold a rally in San Diego..."Occupy Take Good Care Of My Baby"...to protest that Bobby's biggest hit is no longer overplayed!
