But Google can bring it back. Here’s a quote from ZDNet.

Eric Schmidt, Google CEO, believes that when he is listening to the radio in his car, radio ads should personally address him about his needs. For example, while driving past a clothing store, a radio ad should remind Eric that he needs a pair of pants and instruct him to turn left at the upcoming clothing store.

There’s a lot more potential there, I agree. It’ll take a lot of work, but the world will be better for it… and who better to do the job than Google?
