I catch myself listening to NPR on occasion over the weekends to try to pick up some jazz, but apart from that, I haven't discovered shit through our radio.

Truer words were never spoken. Everyone raves about Bob FM, but even that is pretty tame and predictible.
And Urban, though I hate Bono as a musician, I do think he has the right idea. No, people shouldn't blindly listen to him just because he's a rock star, but he's using his celebrity to publicize worthy causes (and to highlight injustices), and how can that be bad?
