Ehhhh... Reminds me of Peter, Paul & Mary. My local Alternative G Rock Radio (WHTG/WBBO) LOVES this song - they've had it in high rotation for months now. Clearly this song has been written to appeal to the suburban SUV-driving soccer moms - it's not representative of their style at all, and there's no doubt that Rise Against will try to capitalize on the success of this song when they record a new album.</P>

Yeah, the 2 alt stations in Phoenix played this quite a bit. I don't think the lyrical content of this song appeals to soccer moms.

Actually, the song isnt THAT bad. It grows on you. I think that when radio stations play songs that are diffrent from what they normally play, it keeps things interesting. Variety is the spice of life. Now get me another beer.

We've had it in heavy rotation at WBWC for over 20 weeks. Most of the phoner response for the song has been very positive, and has come from kids in the range of 14-25......no soccer moms yet. Lots of people at the station are miffed cause the song sounds nothing like the rest of the album (we also had "Give It All" in rotation for a couple months) but I say who cares...a catchy tune is a catchy tune, the listeners love it, and it does add a bit of variety.<P ID="signature">______________

It's doing pretty well on my Hot AC station... KBZI- Pittsburg, KS. I personally loved it when it first came out... but tire of it a bit now.<P ID="signature">______________

WLUM in Milwaukee, WKQX Chicago (Their hometown station) and WMAD Madison all had it in rotation back in the summer/early fall. Its one of my favorite songs of the year.
Give It All was on WZZN Chicago (Their other hometown station) for awhile this year until WZZN went oldies in September. Not a bad song either.<P ID="signature">______________
