the big deal about LPFM is not what music gets played on the air. free speech doesn't mean some dj picking out the music s/he likes--it means somebody going on the air and actually having something to say. it's about letting communities getting together and deciding who gets airtime before an election instead of corporations selling it off to the highest bidder. it's about underground news media having somewhat equal footing with the mainstream.

music is nice. but it can be incredibly trivial. people are getting their panties all up in a bunch over clear channel playing shitty music when the reality is that before clear channel bought up all the big radio stations around the country, those stations were still just playing music and promoting concerts and tipping you off to the morning commute.
