I had to double-check, but yeah -- it was 50,000 watts. That is not a typo. Fifty THOUSAND.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Lots of commercial stations are 50,000 watts. Many, especially in more rural states, are even more than that.

I was coming back to edit -- sorry -- a different AM station -- WLW -- was 500,000 watts. I knew 50,000 didn't sound right.

Happy Birthday Hayden!!
For no reason in particular, I am indulging my mean streak by reading reviews of the new Lenny Kravitz album. Snarky good times.
"Anyone else offering up such hokum would do it with tongue fairly deep in cheek. Not Lenny Kravitz. " And that is from Entertainment Weekly! Don't they usually like everybody?
"Any new Kravitz record demands a round of “What’s on Lenny’s iPod?” “Sistamamalover” takes only seconds to rip off a Sly Stone bass line, some lyrical ideas from Prince and the organ lick from Talking Heads’ cover of “Take Me to the River.” Not content simply to steal, Kravitz steals from other people stealing. Then comes the fake Joe Perry guitar solo. Rinse. Lather. Repeat." From Blender. Ouch.

I will not say happy birthday to hayden, but will instead think of Pete.

What Jon said. They've had movies as cover stories that, in the same issue, one of the reviewers will just EVISCERATE. One of the reasons I love that mag.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I got a free subscription to EW as a result of buying concert tickets online. I was under the impression that it was a fluffy mag, but now I really like it and I keep renewing it.
