Only in college LXVII

Once, I inadvertently cued up a song I didn't mean to play.  By mistake, I ended up playing "Wooly Bully" by Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs on KCOU.  It was a big hit in 1965, but that song has always grated on me.  It was the only time I ever apologized for playing a song on the air that I didn't like.  On a commercial station, I never would have done that.  On a noncommercial college station, however, I was able to express my dislike for a song.

It was liberating, for a moment, not to have to be objective.
