KFAR also plays music naturally. Crazy music. Insane music. The kind of stuff that leaves you fumbling for a dictionary/thesaurus to give a new tag to it. Course they also play some sort of mainstream run of the mill type of thing just to keep us in check. Rush and Led Zeppelin make appearances every now and again. They have DJ's with actual attitudes who tell us a little bit about the music and a few other tattle tattles.

One night apparently there were zombies running around Knoxville and the only way to drive them back was to play KFAR really loud. I liked it but my fiancé thought they talked too much. Oh well can't please us all I guess.

And I can't be pleased all the time either. KFAR plays hip-hop music gluttonously, which is fair of course because Knoxville does have a sizeable hip-hop listening audience. Still I tend to run up the dial whenever I hear it. Also there is the habit of running commentary programs. Democracy Now, Free Speech Radio, and Counterspin are the main offenders. They have helped me come to the conclusion that opinion is best generated through the written world rather than the spoken.

But still happy-slappy pirate radio fan am I. Still listen to that old corporate rock and roll as it sticks to the blood but for the majority of my car traveling it's KFAR for me. Makes me wanna go out and search for other pirate ships with boom boxes. Avast and whatnot.
