Subject: RE: Adele: A great American pop singer
RE: NPR, Jeri. In this century it no longer matters where you are - all radio stations are online all the time! I listen to Austin's NPR station to hear ATC at 3 instead of 5PM, and classical music from Seattle's KING, and BBC from London, and jazz on Radio Sausalito here in my home county. I love that with a phone I can listen to anything wherever I go... including in the car!

Aside: Before the internet, I did not know NPR ever played any music or sports, as the main local station put local news on in the slots for sports and music, and did not play the music shows!

Radio may be dying as a terrestrial medium, but it is alive and well on the web!

But I have only heard a few songs by Adele as she is not in my musical wheelhouse, though I respect what I have heard. Britney or Taylor or Justin or Bruce, however, I cannot listen to.

Was it ever an issue that The Pentangle sang in American? When I first heard their live album I was surprised that they were English!
