Radio Daze

WTKK 96.9 FM in Boston, is at it again.
As the Hub's loudest most gruesomely reactionary radio station, they've taken to playing Jerry Goldsmith's "Patton" theme music under their "we are FOR the war" promos.
It's about as subtle as being whanged on the noggin with a honey bucket if you asked me.
Hell, why stop there?
WTKK ought to play Liszt's "Les Preludes" under their promos in the fashion of Joseph Goebbels whenever he announced "victories" on the Eastern Front.
Not that I wanna wallow in Bush=Hitler comparisons or anything, but if you are gonna carry on in an obnoxious pseudo martial fashion - shit go for broke I say.
Someone out there beyond the three people who actually READ the Chimes at Midnight out to contact Mister Goldsmith and ask him if WTKK has the rights to appropriate his music in such a crude bombastic fashion.
I'll bet you'll find you that WTKK hasn't paid him a nickel for the use of his music...conservatives are reliably self righteous cheap bastards.
On the other hand, self conscious bombast like this is always a sign of political exhaustion IMHO.
More and more has to be done to extract the same level of commitment from an overtaxed base cohort....
Napoleon had to practically whip the Imperial Guard up the hill at Waterloo via loud martial band music.
Similarly as Mr. Bush's war degenerates into a ghastly series of firefights and ambushes, his supporters become ever in need of a heroic soundtrack to cover up the thud of rocket propelled grenades.
Sick
Demented
Typical...
