Because the casual music listeners are the ones who turn on the radio and they don't really care what's playing, they just know that they kinda like it or it's easy to drive to or it's easy to sing along to or whatever.
Michael Stipe

Super casual music listeners. That's most of the people in the world. And you have to understand, that's why Top 40 radio exists. It's not there for people who seek out music and who love music.
Michael Stipe

There was never a golden era of American radio as far as I can tell.
Michael Stipe

It was amazing to me that, all of a sudden, I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.
Lenny Kravitz

The left and the right live in parallel universes. The right listens to talk radio, the left's on the Internet and they just reinforce one another. They have no sense of reality. I have now one ambition: to retire before it becomes essential to tweet.
Barney Frank

I loved being on the radio. Being paid to talk? It's like being paid to eat.
Rachel Maddow

It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.
Bono

I mean, if you turn on the radio, love is 90 percent of the music.
Enrique Iglesias

My dad heard of a studio on the radio, and it was advertised as a place for kids to meet kids, and it was actually a studio, and that's where I met my manager and agent.
Mila Kunis

I was born in 1942, so I was mainly aware of Howard Hughes' name on RKO Radio Pictures.
Martin Scorsese

Radio is commercial, isn't it. Its a business.
Robin Trower

About 25 years ago, I was in an apartment, and next door, they put on the radio, so I struck the wall with my fist, but they did not put the radio down. I took a tool and banged until I made a hole through the wall. It was like a comedy movie.
Klaus Kinski

I had to be at least 8 or 9; I was listening to everything on the radio. You name it, I heard every song.
Tom Araya

Whatever had been on the radio in the '60s; I mean we were always listening to the radio.
Tom Araya

We didn't have television until I was about eight years old, so it was either the movies or radio. A lot of radio drama. That was our television, you know. We had to use our imagination. So it was really those two things, and the comics, that I immersed myself in as a child.
Jessica Hagedorn

There were also horror shows on the radio. Very terrifying and thrilling to me as a kid. They had all these creepy sound effects. They would come on at ten o'clock at night, and I just would scare myself to death.
Jessica Hagedorn

Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned, frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today?
Billy Joel

Radio is immediate.
Wink Martindale

You turned on the radio and heard all kinds of things.
Luc Ferrari

If you had a good radio - and everybody did in those days - you could find it.
Georgie Fame
