Any who...one night, middle of winter, I was driving 5 sleeping dudes back to Madison from a skiing trip to Devil's Head in a terrific college car (a beat up '61 Dodge 4 door with push button automatic AND 4 holes in the floor!). It only had an AM radio, but I was able to get the Little Rock station. 30 minutes into the drive, the DJ announced that a new LP had just come in from a new band, King Crimson, and he was just gonna play it straight through.
...
First time I heard it, was in Madison ... on a station, and the DJ, was some idiot named Stoney something or other, and he played the first 16 bars of the song, and stopped it cold ... and said something like ... how can you call that music? And went right on to Ode to Billie Joe or Beatles ... or something else ... the whole thing is soooooooo what kind of crap pop radio is about, it's not funny!
