YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Larry--You are sadly mistaken--I have heard Kate Bush many times on WXPN both on their new music show (Yesterday's Now Music Today) and the space- art rock show (Diaspar). I wouldn't consider WMMR a pioneer in new music-- they're like evry other big rock station--they play it safe until something's a hit--They never played Tears For Fears OR Simple Minds until both bands had Top 40 singles. Larry--the most "with it" station in Philly is Drexel University's WKDU-- they play new music all the time. WXPN has one new music show a day--that's it. > > Righteously yours, > Larry Palena -- Another wunnerful letter from the semi-intelligent rotting brain of: Paul Kirsch St. Joseph's University Philadelphia, Pa { astrovax | allegra | bpa | burdvax } !sjuvax!kirsch Warning: Objects in Terminal Room are Closer than they Appear...
