Jack & Diane
I’ve never liked Van Halen
The day that I stopped listening to commercial radio was the day I was driving a delivery van, and Jack & Diane came on for the millionth time. Out of song fatigue, I hit a preset button to switch from the classic rock station to the adult contemporary station, but the song just kind of skipped a few seconds. Weird.
Confusion turned to horror, as I realized the truth: The adult contemporary station was also playing Jack & Diane almost in sync with the classic rock station.
That's it. I'm done. No more commercial radio, with 7-minute ad breaks, and 40-song playlists, if they can't even manage a different 40 songs on different stations.
Doesn't help that Clearwater or Clearchannel or whatever bought out every station in America.
Oh yeah Jack and DIane has strong highschool fascist energy.
