A FRIEND OF MINE IN THE RADIO BUSINESS SAID, "THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD MUSIC OUT THERE, BUT MOST OF IT IS COVERED UP BY NOISE."  WHATEVER YOUR FAVORITE KIND OF MUSIC, CONGRESS DOESN'T WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO IT ON RADIO.  THEY ARE CONSIDERING A TAX ON MUSIC PLAYED ON THE AIR.  ALL THESE YEARS, WE HAVE PLAYED MUSIC AT NO COST TO THE PERFORMERS, AND THEY GOT THE PUBLICITY AND THE RESULTING SALES OF RECORDS.  THAT SEEMED TO BE A GOOD ARRANGEMENT, BUT THEY WANT THE STATIONS TO PAY OUTRAGEOUS FEES FOR THE USE OF THE MUSIC.  MANY STATIONS CANNOT AFFORD THOSE FEES AND HAVE STOPPED OR WILL STOP USING THE MUSIC.  WHO IS HURT?  THE PUBLIC.  MAYBE THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT TO CONGRESS.  WHAT DO YOU THINK?
