Re: Popular Standards in NYC

["Stephen R. Low" <gordian1@concentric.net>]

This is a shocking atrocity--a sort of Kristillnacht in which commercial
interests have turned openly violent in their search for a final solution
for eradicating the American song from public spaces and, ultimately from
our consciousness. Classical is next (or was it first?). It's time that we,
as a nation, develop a strategy for using the airwaves to preserve our
culture before it's too late.
