About this Quote

Mose Allison's quote is describing the idea of wishing to listen to music on the radio, but instead hearing a commercial. This is a typical experience for many people, as radio stations typically have more commercials than music. The quote suggests that there have actually been some songs recently that have a similar idea, likely describing songs that discuss the disappointment of wishing to listen to music but rather hearing a commercial. This quote is likely a commentary on the present state of radio, and how it has actually ended up being more focused on advertising than providing music for listeners. It is likewise a tip of how commercialization has taken control of the radio, and how it has actually become tough to discover music on the airwaves.
