Green Eggs and Ham: The Divisive Edition

We had a mighty fine show this morning (once again, that's 6-8 AM CST on CFCR 90.5 FM and streaming at cfcr.ca), but not everybody would agree. I fielded two phone calls within 8 minutes of each other that were polar opposites. First, during the epic Shooting Guns dirge "Harmonic Steppenwolf", there was the older gentleman caller who had this to say: "This isn't rock! This isn't the kind of music to wake up to! It's just noise! Thank you and goodbye!". After the next talking break, in which I ruminated on making CFCR an acronym for something, an older woman called who had this to say: "I just thought of Canadians for Community Radio. Well, keep up the good work!". Basically what I'm trying to say is, you can't please everybody, which is why I just please myself. Wait...
