"Disapproving" is a bit of an understatement.  Not exactly objective reporting.
Seems to me like they made their point again and again and again.  Fer' 
crying out loud, it's not like they're gonna be playing Britney Spears once 
an hour!  My guess is that they're going to sound more like WXRV, not 
exactly all the hits all the time.  So what if they throw in "Satisfaction" 
or "Rhiannon"?  Nice to play something people have heard of (and may 
actually like) once in a while.

Exactly.  Maybe the 60s are finally over...even in Vermont.
