Additionally, the dude is 51 or 52 years old. As you grow older you mellow a bit - we are all probably proof of that. I still love rock and roll and I still love it loud - but I don't listen to it exclusively and with the frequency at 36 like I used to at 23! Am I the only one?
That's the thing though....Club Dave was always disco beats. Maybe the loops are to ward off the burnt-out 80's folks?

"Club Dave"?
The CVH afterparty....monitors and a few lights. Lotsa disco blarin' and roadies getting paid.
What's to hate? I said above that I actually like some disco - if its more funk than disco - like Chic, for instance.
Why would Dave want to ward off any audience? At this point, and this is not a commentary on how well or poorly he is performing, but he should be trying to pull in as much audience from as many diverse sources as possible. Believe me, that first week he was on the air I had to call in 5 or 6 times before I got through the screener. My point is that if he wants to ward off anyone, he can do it without affecting his ratings by just not letting a particular type of caller on the phone. It has been two or three weeks since he has got any calls criticizing him.
Dave has said over and over again that the music he plays on the show is his own personal collection. He has said that he made the loops himself - I think he picked the music that he wanted to hear hoping it would go over well but not really caring too much about it.
Really? Yeah there are a lot of spokes in the wheel in Hotlanta! And CVH is certainly hard rock - but there are songs that grove and swing - not to mention some of Dave's later solo material. Even on VH1: Show Your Love - Paul Anka could do a big band version of that!
