The main radio station in my college town has improved greatly and become a lot more eclectic in the last couple of years. I think they've discovered, after the arrival of mp3s and mp3 players, that most people's tastes are a lot more eclectic than they previously assumed.<BR/><BR/>I also have a feeling (knowing very little about Turkey, admittedly) that the percentage of Turks who listen to Morrissey/Smiths is not that much higher than the percentage of Americans who listen to Nusrat (or Cheb Mami or whoever). That would definitely be true of Indians atleast.<BR/><BR/>I discovered Morrissey not very long ago thanks to internet-radio and regret not knowing of him earlier (growing up in India).<BR/><BR/>Why doesn't SFMOMA have streaming video of the exhibit I do not know.<BR/><BR/>Also the Turkish word for world "dünya" is the same as the hindi word for world "duniya" (and I suspect the Farsi word also). I will never grow bored of finding out these things :)ashvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297355348727397419noreply@blogger.com
