Women of Rock on Lightning 100

[csberry]

Nashville's Lightning 100 is playing nothing but woman artists or female-fronted bands today until 6pm. I have been very pleased with the selections: Tori Amos, The Sundays, Ani Difranco, The Pretenders, Paula Cole, Sarah McLaughlin ("Into the Fire" nonetheless), Jefferson Airplane, etc.

The first music programming lesson I was given when I started interning at WSIX-FM (country) was that you never put two female artists back to back. The guys will change stations if you give them two in a row. Sheesh!

I've never heard of the "no two female artists back to back" rule before. It would be interesting to go back in time to when my parents listened to WAAX AM in Gadsden (the country music powerhouse AM station that covered a large geographic area during the days) and see if that rule was followed.
