I'm in the Rockies and I'm a big Springsteen Fan, have been since Born in the USA (when I was 9, gawd I feel old!!) But even I question the need for a single-artist channel, especially when you look at the demographic that Sirius is trying to attract. Since most of the single-artist channels around are from (if you'll pardon the expression) old farts. Good old farts, I grant you, but old farts, none the less.
Springsteen (he's what 62 now?)
Sinatra (Dead)
Grateful Dead (Jerry Garcia, dead)
Elvis (Dead, or working at a 7-11 in Tupelo, one of the two)
Jimmy Buffett (Pushing 60 now?)
Met Opera radio (great, but I don't find many people under 30 listening to opera on a full-time basis).
Even your boy Howard Stern isn't getting any younger, and there are plenty in this generation who have never heard of Howard Stern, so he's not the draw he once was. And that doesn't include Martha or Oprah who have NOTHING to do with radio whatsoever.
