Re: NAC really didn't have much of a chance in Boston

Touche!  I listened to WPLM when they flipped to Jazz until WOAZ came on 
the air.  For a while I flipped between them both.  One weekend the 
satellite service that fed most of WPLM's programming did an "All Sade 
Weekend".  That was the end for me.  Now I wish that I had listened to them 
more.  Oh well,
