My (personal) opinion about a mis-use of the Speakeasy.

[ErikM]

Hi there !

First I like to say that I NEVER had in mind to promote another radio station.
Second : It has nothing to do with prog music. Do you think Kiss, Aerosmith, Green Day, All That Remains, All Time Low, Black Veil Brides, .... are prog music ? Check it out on www.rockfmonline.be !
Sorry for using the stationname but if you wanna talk about something you have to know the reason for this thread.
Anyway, I never had the feeling to promote a radiostation that has little in common with prog music. Why should they listening ?
I'm using the Speakeasy because I was thinking it is a "freedom of speech"-corner. Well, I'm very wrong. It isn't ! And that's why I said I didn't feel very welcome anymore.
And I never wanted a show on AM because my radioshow is far more ellaborated. I'm playing all kinds of music like many other european stations. And be sure : Prog bands would like to have a record in a show with different kind of music because preaching for your own church is easy.
In other words : Prog music can only become more popular when played in main stream radioshows. That's the reason why I'm playing a few bands in my own 3 hours long radioshow. But : I'm also playing Elvis, Janis Joplin, Sex Pistols, Clash, Costello, Stones, Byrds, ... and a bunch of new bands and records.
I always liked AM and always will do but this thread is much ado about nothing.
Greetings, ErikM
