Ah KVIL! Not on do they censor the lyrics, they also mess with the music,
chopping the highs and lows so that Ms Kentucky-Fried-Hairdo won't get
a jolt while she's doing her make-up in her Caddy. 

There are a few bright spots. My confederate on the recent NBB quizzes,
George Gimarc, is Program Director for KRQX, a "Big Chill" AM-stereo
station that plays stuff from the sixties and seventies. George also
hosts a "New Music" show on the sister AOR station KZEW-FM.  KNON
is a "community" radio station, that plays everything: reggae, punk,
pschyobilly, gospel, blues, shows for women by women (IYKWIMAITYD),
funk, rap, Jewish music, Vietnamese shows, heck, they even have a
Grateful Dead SHOW (and I expect they play Kate Bush :-).

KVIL is Dallas' number one station, KNON is always strapped for money,
George's show can only get on at 11pm on Sunday nights. I doubt that
Dallas is very different from other major metropolitan areas.
Depressing isn't it?
