      A station I listen to plays classical music and operas during the afternoons. I wonder how long until that happens to those bands. “Joining us today is Professor Smith from Juilliard who is going to share with us today some of the finer details of Pink Floyd’s earlier work.”

      They’ll play a set of Mozart, Floyd, Beethoven, and Hendrix. All from more or less the same era.

      Probably, but most likely way less often. I mean, there are still radio stations playing 1950s songs from Elvis Presley, Miles Davis, Glenn Miller and so on. I think we’d also have older music, if the recordings weren’t so terrible before the 1950s.

      It is still good music after all. I was born many decades later, but Tutti Frutti (both LR’s and EP’s versions) is still a great song.

      That said, they’ll only do it if Radio stations still exist in 30 years. I almost never listen to radio nowadays.
