soft rock.)

We didn't have Air America Radio for five years 1998 (when I moved to Portland, OR) to 2004. I couldn't stand the local or national right wingers, but did listen sometimes. Those included Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Lionel (no last name) and of course Lars Larson (our local nutwing.)

My blood pressure went up higher than it already is. I gave up, and started to play CDs and even my old cassette tapes. The local public broadcasting station provided much information and national and international news.

I wish you well in Arizona. We were there in February for two weeks and were thrilled to find AM 1010 and Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes. Sorry it was the death knell, but be of good cheer. Some enthusiastic AM station that's now in the toilet ratings-wise -- will pick up Air American Radio. Got to happen -- You'll see --

In peace,
