As a bonus feature to this post from John Nugent, I share with you an earlier and rougher version of this song, but one more faithful to what we wrote in a Bonneville somewhere in the Southeast 12 years ago.  

"During the 2000 election, I was driving across country with Buster Phillips and each time we crossed a state border or lost reception, we had to find a new NPR station to keep up with the election. Well, after days of this, we started noticing that Linda Werthheimer didn't seem to get that annoyed when Robert Siegel interrupted her. Which he did A LOT. So we wrote a song about it. Which kinda became a song from the point of view of a stalker who's really jealous of Robert Siegel because he loves Wertheimer. Enjoy. And in case there was any question about my political leanings, I'm guessing writing a song about public radio kinda puts that mystery to bed." -- John Nugent
