You've made it sound as though nothing in the world was happening musically that was of any value.

Where do you get this? If he'd said "I've thrown away the remote control to my stereo, and will no longer listen to anything I don't already own," then I could see you drawing this conclusion. But Doug's still listening to the radio, and KFOG isn't exactly a station that limits its playlist to albums old enough to buy their own beer.

Care to clarify? (And care to sign your post next time?)
