I'm sorry for my unkind remarks. Chalk it up to it being my first try at
posting something. I even spelled my name wrong. Thank you for your
castigation.  

     I have to beg difference with you, however. I have lived in several
cities across the country and only in New York did I ever hear the Dead
being played on any radio station. They just dont have the comercial
appeal (except in NY or around San Fran). They continue to be more and
more popular but still I think it is a mistake to say that they are
played on many AOR stations. I haven't heard it.
