Seriously, he is just a voice on the radio, unlike the ones in your head, you don't have to do what he tells you to do.
I'm not fussy about the medium I work in. I'll do television radio, you know. I have to, because that's the only way I can do continually good roles.

The majors, they have to control the distribution, the record outlets, the radio and, in some cases, even the venues. And downloading and pirating have also put pressure on the majors.
I remember thinking, 'I don't know if I can do radio.' I never even listen to it.
I love the fact that 35 years later, I still hear my songs on the radio.

You leave a country, they stop playing you on the radio.
You feel pressured to do what you think the public wants, when in actuality the sales aren't reflecting what the radio is doing. Not in the least bit!
