My first thoughts in response to this topic were that, in a world dominated
by big business (market only what sells) and government (regulate anything
you, the elected, don't like), the only music available on the air would be
contemporary versions of Whitney Houston and Phil Collins. Underground
bands could survive, but only on a local basis.

I must agree on this point, however. The world gets "smaller" every day. In
Gibsons (or Dicks) smaller world, popular music would likely be music more
worldly, i.e. popolar in places other than north america, europe and
japan, such as reggae.
