But the point I was getting at is not that there's absolutely no 'anything goes' radio, but rather that the mainstream's conception of it is so utterly fucked up. What pisses me off is how crass and small-minded disrespectfulness and bigotry is portrayed as being irreverant or challenging, when it's about as challenging as a frat-boy in a sports bar calling somebody a fag. The problem is not that 'anything goes' radio doens't exist -- it's that it only exists in small little enclaves of the dial, while the remainder is dominated by commercial schills with mouths full of poop. Further mistaking this shit for challenging 'anything goes' radio only anesthetizes the public's taste for something that would actually frighten them into thinking.
