One of my local stations has changed slightly due to covid-induced Entercom layoffs. I just realized the layoffs means I can now hear voice-tracks from dudes who do overnights at a specific NYC alternative station while being in the midwest.

hiya Gaylord!
oh yes -- amongst those who considered themselves "cool," Yoko was considered "noise" (and not in a positive way!) -- nor was it "cool" or "punk" to like Joni Mitchell, The Moody Blues, Neil Young, etc. etc. etc.
(weird, when i began college in 1977, everyone HATED "punk"/"New Wave" -- by the time i was in my last year, it had become "trendy" and people could be really judgmental/elitist about what was considered "cool")

@mariano: The Beatles are one of the most-played groups on WFMU — they're on over 2,200 playlists! It's just that it seems like less, because keep in mind that literally anything ever recorded (and some that are not) is eligible to played on the station, so the most-played artists on the station are a teensy percentage of all airplays.

@mariano: It's a fun thing to do to confirm or dispel various WFMU truisms. For example, in the past seven days, the Beatles show up on nine playlists — including twice within the past three hours.
