Radio Nowhere

Is it 'cause he's too old?

Or maybe, just a bit too... political?

Whatever they may have been thinking, Clear Channel has tried to silence The Boss.

(Like that's even possible!)

Blogger Howie Klein comments:

Republican radio network Clear Channel, a monopoly in many cities and a dominant player in most of the rest, isn't interested. Is it because Springsteen has been an outspoken campaigner for Democrats and progressives? Clear Channel has taken a political stand with its programming in the past. Just think back to their boycott of the Dixie Chicks.

,,,Of course, Clear Channel hasn't publicly said they are boycotting Springsteen's music. But they are. Fox News, hardly a hotbed of liberal alarmists, reports that "Clear Channel has sent an edict to its classic rock stations not to play tracks from Magic... no new songs by Springsteen..

I guess the music will have just have to do the talking - this is Bruce Springsteen's Radio Nowhere:
