A big thumbs down for how the LDD was handled on this show.

I second that. It makes me cringe when the letter talks about how special a particular song is to the writer, and then they play something else instead. God forbid a HotAC station turn off all its listeners by daring to play Stevie Wonder.

I don't think it's the listnerers that get turned off, it's the small minded PDs who'll have a hissy fit if something doesn't fit their format and they'll drop the show for Ryan's HAC version of AT40.

What happened? Did Casey say "instead of playing that song, we'll play this one!"

He omitted the name of the song from the dedication reading, then played a song that, in my opinion, had nothing to do with the content of the letter.
