Maybe.  Maybe not.  The "Offense" is occasionally entertaining.  Yeah,
there are bands too, but i was completely turned off from Great Plains
when i saw them about 5 years ago opening for Human Switchboard (i'm told
they now have some idea of what they are doing, but first impressions die
hard...)

But as for radio, forget it.  Our local college "stationette", WOSR (as
mentioned by Lum)  is the only cool thing around but alas it is virtually
impossible to get in, despite the fact that i live right at the &()&*(
campus.  Grrrrrrrrr.  Fortunately, the worst cretins at the local "rock"
station have been dispatched to annoy Detroit.

	yell 'movie'."
