Scratched,
but still in the groove
Those who were fans of A Date with You and Forces Request on All India Radio twenty years back will be surprised to learn that some things haven`t changed at all. . The same scratched western music records are still in the groove on on FM, getting repetitively stuck or whining to a halt unexpectedly, requiring the anchor of the show to come up with rueful apologies and witticisms to cover up. The other day there was this CD which refused to start, or so the anchor said. Must be the only station in the world where this still happens. Why don`t they just junk the old records and never, ever play them again?
