Clear Channel destroys its own great radio station

The NEW 96.3 Star Country!! has eaten my favorite radio station, WMAD. I should've expected it when major alt-rock stations like WHFS in Washington DC and Y100 in Philadelphia have also gone off the air in the last year. What chance did my fun little Madison station have?
A lot of chance I though since WMAD was playing a great mix of current hits along with 90s alt-rock radio favorites. I could count on hearing System of a Down and "Underground" by Ben Folds Five in the same hour. But since it's a Clear Channel station, it was ultimately doomed.
I guess its really time I got my iPod fixed since I'm NOT going to suddenly listen to WJJO all the time.

Stapp fights 311

VS
AP and MTV report that in Baltimore on Thanksgiving night, former Creed and current butthole singer Scott Stapp got into a fight with the surprisingly still popular 311.
The whole things sounds pretty cool how Stapp was being a shit and threw the first punch but the 311 knocked him back. Its a shame they couldn't be met with arms wide open and he had to be taken down and things got all mixed up. Stapp won't serve any jail time, but he's got his own prison. 311 have sent a message loud and clear to him: dont tread on me. It sounds like a beautiful disaster happened in that bar, but thats his sacrifice.
