Of course, "they" as in corporations & the government can already track so much about us based on online activities such as facebook, pandora, etc. so there's always a danger in this but I am frustrated with not being able to hear what I'm interested in on Pandora on the correct channel, or Pandora thinking I'm wanting to listen to sleepy Motown music all day, or other sleepy music. I just want to hear some strong Women of Color singing about social issues of their day and I can hardly find anything good from a social-perspective from the middle of the century, and I imagine there was a lot of good music out there if not in mainstream music then elsewhere and some of it must be on Pandora; I will need to look into the reggae, blues, and jazz of the time. Even then, Pandora sees that I'm listening to Blues and starts playing Blues music. Also, just because I want to hear some powerful songs by Tina Turner after she left Ike doesn't mean that I want to hear them together. From a historical perspective it may interest some, but I'm interested in finding empowering music that also sounds good.
