Great radio is still around: WXRT Chicago

Driving home today from the cold, snowy Windy City, I was tuning around the dial. It landed on an old familiar spot at 93.1 WXRT. I was on the Kennedy Expressway, trying to see out the one clean spot on the windshield of my van, and grooving to the music. They played a nice mix of old and new like always. Some Natalie Merchant, some Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead... The highlight for me was Taj Mahal's version of the old "Six Days on the Road". In a world where all the crap is pre-fab, pre-programmed blandness, I am glad WXRT is still going strong.

Start where you are...
Use what you have...
Become the change that you want to see in the world.

Enough for Everyone's Need, Not for Everyone's Greed...

Live simply so that others may simply live.

Become the Media

Don't listen to the one-sided corporate-owned media. They are not in the business of finding the truth. They are only concerned about making money for themselves and their stock holders. If they do report the truth, it is only because it suits their business plan. A happy accident...
Become the media! Blog it, film it, record it...
You still have credibility... They don't.
