![[Hype Hype Hooray] A Politics-Free Case to Keep NPR or Would You Rather Listen to Creed?](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3254619_lg.jpg)
Every [two weeks?] Jamie Hale takes a long, hard look at the music industry and the blog scene that feeds it. Here, he releases those findings and makes snarky, sarcastic remarks. Admittedly, both Jamie and Knox Road are a part of this scene. So sue us. Congress' battle over NPR has involved a lot of politics that I'm not even going to get into. What is this, The Drudge Something? We here at Knox Road don't subscribe to any political ideology (publicly) and that political ideology certainly has no place in the discussion of music! So [...]
