The Washington Post's Marc Fisher writes his last article for "The Listener," a radio column he has written for the paper since 1995.
Fisher laments the slow death of radio, in a world of iPods, Facebook and Myspace. He makes the case that the only way to save it, is for the people running radio stations to find talent like Don Imus and others.
Fisher writes, "long before he aged into a marble-mouthed crank, dragged himself into the studio each morning to dazzle impressionable teens by spicing up his program of pop hits with skewerings of Richard Nixon, charlatan preachers and all manner of phonies. Imus's bad-boy prankishness showed me that adults didn't have to lose their adolescent passions."
If you're interested in the radio biz, Fisher's column is a good read. If not, it will probably make your hair hurt. Eitherway, click here to check it out.
