'Stars and Stripes' forever? Not so much

There was a good editorial in the Tribune today about the city's July 3 fireworks and the pop music playlist that WTMX supplied ...

What made it more amusing was that the city and the radio station should have seen this coming ...

As we were looking over the fireworks playlist -- which had been published on the Taste of Chicago Web site -- in our office a couple weeks, our mouths were agape. WTMX had put absolutely no thought into the music; there wasn't a single patriotic song on it ...

Instead, it was a random mix containing some of the junk from Rihanna and Gwen Stefani that the radio station plays a gazillion times every day! Seriously, what about Sara Bareilles' "Love Song" goes with Fourth of July fireworks ...
