I have no idea what normal is. Normal is relative, anyway. Some people live in fear & hunger, & that's normal for them. What was normal even a century ago would seem weird to us now - & vice versa.
I do know that WRFL is not a normal radio station. I don't mean that as an insult, but as a compliment. Every other radio station in the world - or I should say, the vast majority of them - are owned by one of two or three corporations, & they're programmed by a few people in one place, & piped out to each station. It's apparently very profitable for them, but it's such a depressing & cynical way to use the airwaves that could be filled with so much creativity & good music & fun. It's why a station like WRFL is so valuable.
Will Self Help Radio celebrate normality, or will it (as you probably suspect) have several songs snarkily suggesting that what is normal is dull, mindless, hypnotized, brainwashed, conservative, square? You'll have to listen to find out.
It's on tomorrow morning from 7am to 9am on 88.1 fm in Lexington, & online at wrfl dot fm. Of course I'll do what I normally do & put it on the Self Help Radio website after the show, if you're not normally up that early.
It's normal for me to hope you'll listen, right?
