| Not here in the southern US, at least on radio. I have heard exactly one Meat Loaf song on radio in the last 2 years (single edit of 2 Out of 3"), but do hear "Total Eclipse" maybe 4 or 5 times a year. I called the all request lunch a couple times trying to get "2 Out of 3" played just to see if they'll do it but they never do. They don't even play Celine's version of IACBTMN anymore. I did hear MLOONAA on muzak a week or two ago. Maybe I'd listen to more radio if they played more Jim. I used to call the rock station way back before I understood playlists & pre-programmed radio to see if they'd play "Bat" or even "Lemon" when Bat 2 was out. These days if it ain't programmed in the machine it isn't oing to be played. You guys are lucky to have better music radio than we have here. > > But that's what happens after listening to Steinmusic > > excessively -- suddenly it seems to be everywhere ;) > > It is actually everywhere.
