Ah, nice to know I am not the only one who still turns off the station when I hear the Vichy Chix.
A sign they were connecting with liberals was when “Traveling Soldier” got picked up for airplay by the folk show at Kent State (WKSU), which a friend had sent me (cassette airchecks). The host of the show, Jim Blum, was on the day Clinton was impeached and referred to it as “this sad day in our nation’s history”.
I mentioned WKLB in Boston; it was interesting when they switched frequencies with longtime classical station WCRB
(which has since gone non-commercial and is owned by giant
Boston public TV/radio station WGBH). WKLB moved from one frequency to another by playing Rascal Flatts’ rendition of the Star Spangled Banner (the last note or so went on the
new frequency). WCRB’s program director took it tongue in cheek: the last song on the old freq. was Aaron Copeland’s
“Rodeo”, a fiddle-based tune heard on the old ads “Beef:
It’s What’s For Dinner”. (Hallelujah Chorus first song
on the new spot on the dial)
