Short story:

George 'Hound Dog' Lorenz, one of the first radio deejays to play r'n'b and rock'n'roll records, resigns from WKBW in Buffalo, New York State, USA, because it has changed to a Top 40 format. Lorenz is quoted in music trade magazine Billboard, declaring that the repetitiveness of the Top 40 format, "is hurting the record industry, is lowering radio listening, and is decreasing a new artist's chance to make it."
