I hate corporate agendas

What gets music onto the airwaves? Talent? Nope. Money? Yes. If you have the funding, you get on radio. Simple. 'Buyers' pay radio stations big bucks to put their client's song in rotation.

Isn't that called "payola"? Wasn't payola made illegal in the 60's?

I'm pretty sure that murder has been illegal since even earlier times, but that still happens, too! :rolleyes:

Naa murder is legal if police officers or the president/PM dose it /orders it,

I have to agree... The rich are getting richer, and the poor pay for it. Here is a prime example....
Congressmen and Senators are paid a pretty hefty salary believe it or not, and they don't pay a penny into social insecurity... They have their own "retirement plan" voted in by themselves for when they retire.... Instead of being like the rest of us and having to live on like $500 a month, they GET THEIR REGULAR SALARY for as long as they live. So basically once you hit office, you are set. You are there for 2 to 4 years, and you get paid for the rest of your life... And us working stiffs pick up the tab on that expensive pension plan...
