Only problem is that they started this slogan with about 70 days or so left
to summer...still better than listening to all the ads on 'KNE (even if they
are the folks who sign my paycheck! ;-) or 'TSA. And, yes, the music _does_
get old rather quickly...strange to listen to, with no DJ to speak of
(except evenings). Almost like a free jukebox with all of "today's biggest
hits" played back-to-back.
