I drove the old car last week to the courthouse. Stuck in traffic. The single cassette tape we have floating around in that car has Bat Out of Hell on one side and the Cars Greatest Hits on the other, and it is so degraded from decades of intermittent play that it sounds atrocious.

All that is to say that I turned on the FM radio in rush hour traffic and every preset station (all five of them) was playing ads for the entire drive across town. I finally found one song and I forget what it was, but it was worse then the ads were. So I turned off the radio. It just made the drive more stressful.

I feel all nostalgic about FM radio because I listened to it so much in my youth. But it would be no loss if it went away.
