When you wake up the morning, you might turn on the radio,
and everyday, reliably, you can hear the familiar voices or songs.
As you set out to do your morning activities the radio sets you at ease.
When you get in your car, the stereo is there,
and even though you are by yourself, you have the radio to lift your spirits.
The radio asks nothing in return, and so in many ways, it can be an ideal "friend".
As if by magic, the radio reaches you through the air,
and the price you have to pay is nothing compared to the joy it brings.
As time goes on man has made devices to make music easier to make and reproduce (auto-tune, synthesizers, etc)
So long as the artist maintains his or her integrity, there is no reason not to put these
devices to good use.
However, there are always going to be parties that exploit the technology purely for financial gain
and not for artistic merit. It's up to the listener to determine the difference between art and business or commercialism.
Remember that a lot of the music or programming you hear on the radio is played only because
someone is paying them to pay it.
