Living far enough out in the woods that AM talk radio won’t come in, I am often listening to NPR’s news shows. Was amazed to hear, in a military-related report a coupla days ago, our national anthem and the Army song (Caissons), too. Imagined New England academics in Volvos and Subarus puking and careening from lane to lane as they clawed at the radio controls with their eyes closed.
I don't live in the woods, but there is still alot of AM noise here in MA. BUT, still... there is no use in torturing yourself. At 10:10 PM Eastern, go to Levin's, download 3 hours of his 6-9 PM to any handy MP3 player, and you are in heaven for the next 24 hours.
