Re: So, today was Record Store Day.
Why yes, I am white. :-)
For non-Long Islanders, WLIR was the kind of station that would broadcast the Ramones and the Clash and anybody who had a big audience, but would do nothing with smaller or more, ahem, demanding acts. Throbbing Gristle and GG Allin were not going out on their air.
They were the kind of station that would play Run DMC in 1985 and still play no other rap artists.
But they were light years better than the stations that were playing Billy Joel and Foreigner or grinding through the embarrassing death throes of the Stones.
