Frank Incensed
Even though Mama Bush got all the money ($70,000. for a speech?) and there wasn't any left for the May 4th Coalition, those of us who lived through that time will never forget what happened. Every May 4th I get
into a least one argument with someone who thinks they should have killed a lot more than just four hippie creeps that day 31 years ago. Will this sore ever heal?

Clash- This is Radio Clash
As the beer riots of 2001 rage on at Kent State University this weekend, we pause in remembrance of the four students shot dead on the campus of Kent 31 years ago, during riots and protests of a different kind, most of the music on tonight's show is from a bygone era, but let us never forget, for it will happen again.

C.S.N & Y- Ohio
Dink-Ohio (Kent's own misfits version)
Steve Miller Band- Kent/Jackson Blues

Back in 1975 a young Frank Incensed (going by his real name) hosted a show from the University of Akron, called Words & Music. One of the shows concerned itself with the anti-war sentiment, that was just then
starting to fade away. Tonight we will splice in several segments of that show, just because it fits so well. My co-host for the old Words & Music show was Ms. Pat Larson, & it is her voice you hear in several of
the segments. The artist of the evening is Country Joe McDonald, he of the Fish, who was one of the most eloquent voices of protest during the late 60's. He
continues to perform, & does a lot of benefits for Vietnam era vets, and if fact appeared in Kent, Ohio on May 9th. Check out his Website www.countryjoe.com

Set Three w/ Your Draft-Dodgin' Host Frank Incensed
While the war raged on, we kept tally on the evening news, as the body count grew, so did the number of marchers in the streets. The next set features a couple of songs about the living room war, including an actual
snippet from Walter Cronkite, who actually once called for an end to the war on the national news. That would never happen now, with the spray painted smiles who report the news. The draft continued to consume
America's young in sacrifice to the great god of war. This set also has many songs about what it was like to face that cold, cold draft. I not only dedicate this set to veterans of the war and anti-war veterans
(like myself) alike, we were all in it together
