The list reminded me how long it is since I listened to the J's consistently and how diverse the audience tastes are and hopefully that the hip hop, beats and grooves don't really dominate our national youth audience tastes!! Looks like its been a while since I sat and watched RAGE at length too... note to self... you're getting old!!
