30 years ago yesterday...

If you don't know the story, it was 30 years ago yesterday that Elvis Costello and the Attractions appeared on Saturday Night Live. They wanted to play Radio Radio but SNL said no as it was thought to be 'anti-media.' So they started playing Less Than Zero, but stopped eight seconds in and played Radio Radio anyway, which led to them being banned from SNL for 12 years.

This might be even more relevant today... the FCC is meeting right now and they seem to be aiming to screw over local radio.

By the way, did I mention, that FCC Chairman and major asshat Kevin Martin is a Duke alum and supposedly used to dj at wxdu.
