It’s “cool” to hate radio

And it’s really unfortunate.

Check out this abrasive take on our recent research revelation that, given a choice between these two items only, most folks would prefer the HD Radio (as we accurately and fairly described it) over an iPod.

I share this with you because folks who don’t brush up on what they’re talking about only make themselves look like idiots when they post their stupid, half-cocked conclusions in public. If you want a biased presentation of alternatives, just see the way they present them: “gleaming, fresh iPod”? Of course, they’re only kidding. But hidden within that jest is a deep dislike for radio and the “establishment” it represents – a tune as old as James Dean and his chinos.

When everyone on your island looks, talks, and thinks like you, your only choice is to wear your blinders proudly.
