Finally made NPR

cata-wha?
There is a raging controversy in Nebraska about changing the state song from “Beautiful Nebraska” to a really, really, really bad country tune called “I Love Nebraska”.
A Nebraska State Senator has proposed the change the state song to this abomination. You can watch the disturbing video for “I Love Nebraska” here, if you dare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI2×6vsr-TY
I thought this was funny in contrast to my old band’s version of the state song which we did for some punk rock compilation of state songs “back in the day”.
Here’s the version of Beautiful Nebraska from my old band, Sideshow.
Anyway, All Things Considered decided to cover the story today, and included a good bit of my band’s version: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7085644
2007 is going to be all down hill from here….

enjoyed hearing your version on NPR yesterday. Excellent job!
WHen I was a kid, there was a Nebraska history show on ETV, and a history professor sang that as a the theme song.
I can’t wait!
I’m totally buying Nebraska the album too.
