A Lyric Video I wrote to the towers that once stitched this country together, to the voices that came through static into kitchens and barracks and pickup trucks. Now the algorithm picks our songs one listener at a time, and the dial has gone quiet in a lot of small places. But not all of them. Not yet. For every operator who understands that a tower, a current, and a tune that wants to fly is still one of the freest things this country ever invented.
