OFF: Weird radio

[Paul Mather]

Speaking of radio stations, I noticed our local "oldies" station (105.3
FM) has become very weird recently.  About two days or so ago it began
transmitting nothing but a heartbeat sound, punctuated occasionally by
what sounded like a sonar "blip."  Then, after about a day of that, they
started playing Lynyrd Skynyrd songs non-stop.  Now they announce
themselves as "105.3 Lynyrd Skynrd" and have soundbites like "All
Skynyrd all the time..."

What is going on?  Is this some millenial portent I am unaware of?  Can
I expect "All Hawkwind all hours" next?  Armageddon?? ;-)

Cheers,

Paul.

PS: Speaking of portents, I'm Jonesin' for the upcoming Gov't Mule live
double CD taken from their New Year's Eve concert just gone.  It's due
out 23rd March, 1999, with promises of a 4CD set of the full gig to
appear somewhere down the road.
