Poetry Corner: How To Get Ahead In Radio
You don’t need to appreciate the Beatles.
You don’t have to like Talking Heads.
If you fancy a go
At a radio show
Be famous already instead.
No previous experience necessary,
Your engineer will do all the work.
If you want to be on
Radios 3, 2 or 1
Be famous for something else first.
You don’t need an interest in the medium.
If about music you’re a big ignoramus
We don’t really care
We’ll stick you on air
So long as your dad is quite famous.
