TBD on Ning
Snagg's Radio Show
Google WQNA to find the stream. The show is called Fear and Loathing in Springfield and it airs 6 - 9PM CST on Sunday evenings.
It may uplift the downtrodden and down trod the uplifted. Some may faint, others may experience moments of rage and in some cases hilarity.

Possibly not pretty, but I'm sure entertaining.

I haven't listened that far yet - but if it is any consolation I don't like Michael Stipe.

Well....I'd rather have listeners with passionate opinions, both pro and con, than people who don't really care, leaving it on as background noise and occasionally murmuring, "That's nice" before going back to their true passion, which is sorting their dryer sheet coupons.
Although...The ones who hate something so much that they actually call me up to rage about it can be HIGHLY entertaining. I've had a few of those that I wish I'd recorded, so that I could play them from time to time in-between songs. Like the guy who called up out of the blue and ordered - make that COMMANDED - me to never play ANYTHING except Elvis, the Moody Blues and Johnny Horton - EVER, for as long as I may live. Or, at least, as long as I'm at WQNA.
Seriously. Because HE was serious. I LOVE when somebody sticks their nose into something like a radio station and insist that the station should never, ever, ever play anything except what THEY want. I like to imagine them walking into a McDonald's and throwing a screaming fit because they don't sell their (dead thirty-seven years) grandma's peach cobbler & home-made ice cream.
As my wise friend Rich once said, "That's the nice thing about reality - Everybody's got one."

Aww....It's not THAT bad.
I've heard FAR worse - usually hair-metal pretty-boy bands, trying to look tough by playing it. The Knitters just did it as a loose, guitar-pull throwdown - Probably a lot more like the song sounded as it was being written than the finished Top 10 single it became.
Besides, I played a dark, sinister folk-pop version of it last year that you probably would have REALLY hated. Ya missed that one. You should be GRATEFUL. Hell, I've got an eight minute long, live, feedback-drenched, screaming freak-out version of it by the Blue Oyster Cult - Heavy beyond description. Want that next year?
