Was that the therapist that talked Metallica out of their emo phase?
Because hats off to that therapist.
We're talking about what was going on with this transition to music.
One of the reasons why AM radio transitioned to music and away from things like soap operas and all that stuff was because those things ended up on TV.
The older people followed those.
Remember, they're like radios, the pits now, because the golden era is over.
And then they turn on their TVs and they're like, oh, the golden era is over here now.
Let's just keep going and watching now instead of just listening.
And that left the kids to fill this vacuum, which was AM radio.
And like you said, the top 40 format started there.
The big internationally known DJs started there.
And it just kind of took off little by little.
But really picked up steam when a few things kind of came together.
