i HATE IT
it's horrible
it's like talk radio for the left
only two things:
(1) i don't get as riled up by it as i do right radio,becase it's not issue-based at all and frankly way boring
and (2) it's like listening to z100, but no good tunes
they spent ten minutes this morning laughing and going on about this interview with this kid from upenn whose class went to la and waited in tuxes and gowns to get inside the new jack black movie premier
