well, mainstream everything is bad... but, then again, if the kids don't hear the punk on the radio they might not get interested in the punk and perhaps dig a little deeper and find the real treasure hidden beneath all the muck. there are gems in punk and in rap, one just needs to sort of wade through the mire. i'm down with the radio as a means of stimulating the kids to look a bit closer at the thing. maybe they will get e40s older albums! that **** is the real loot.
