My 2011 truck doesn't have the ability for Big Brother to shut it down.

Next.

So they keep adding electronic things we don’t need that drive up the price, but they’d leave out an Am radio that cost under $100?!

I think you sort of unintentionally make the point here. It was widely considered a dying medium UNTIL he came along.

I’m saying your comparison wasn’t apples to oranges.
The 8-track was upgraded for sound clarity, but it didn’t change the content.
Removing an AM radio will remove conservative content.


There's more conservative content on the tip of your fingers than every am band in the country baw

Are most emergency broadcast on AM radio?


Yeah, but what's stopping you from buying an AM radio?

You can get one off Amazon for $15. My local Walmart has a Sony AM/FM radio for $22 in stock.

Besides, who wants to drive around listening to AM radio in muffled mono sound when it's simulcast to an FM station or streaming online?

Knowing Beck like I do, he likely followed this statement with an ad-read for personalized pocket AM radios. Owning one makes you part of the resistance.

Histrionics like this make conservatives look really irrational and paranoid.

We live in a post-Boomer society now. Get used to it or get left behind gramps.

It has nothing to do with politics, either left or right.

It still is a raw deal, however. How will I listen to LSU sporting events broadcasts now that WWL 870, KWKH 1130, KJBO 1150, etc. are no longer an option? That's torture, not politics.

Of course it does. Only boomers would demand AM radio in their car and we’ve reached the point where car makers don’t need to market to them anymore.

Exactly. It's the free market dictating weather or not car manufacturers should even include an AM radio. Emergency AM broadcasts will still be around, and transistor radios are cheap as hell. For crying out loud you can make one yourself if you're brave enough.

Now some old farts are running around like a bunch of hysterical women grumbling about "their takin muh radio away".

I don't doubt that for a second, but the messenger is rekowned for Chicken Little type prophecies.

With the prevalence of satellite radio and the number of talk stations on FM radio, is it really that big of a deal?

Not a boomer here, and I demand one. Does it make up for your tiny penis to make fun of those who've lived longer than you ever will?
