	You must live on a different planet. There are no high school
students like that around here. (No, I'm not in high school. But I have
to deal with them.)
	I agree with the original poster and the DJ. I gave up listening
to most radio stations for just what was descibed. Scenerio: Radio station
has a 'request hour/night/day/weekend' to (supposedly) uncover some
forgotten and overlooked music. (I used to love request shows because
it was an opportunity to deviate from the top-40 disease.) But does it
work that way? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, the high schoolers (with a few junior high
and college types thrown in) call in and request the same top-40-play
it-every-hour stuff that you hear anyway! The station might as well not
even go to the trouble of having the request show!

	Younger generation! What do you mean? You ARE the younger generation!
