Re: Re: Amplifier

Hi peter, I have a semi-funny story to relate to you about "Amplifier". I was a DJ on the local station in Lawrence KS KJHK 90.7 back in the early-mid 80s. "Like This" was a big hit in our freeform rotation (in all candor, I got a bit sick of Amplifier after a while!) Well, a decade or two passed, and about five years ago (2000-2001) I was doing a spring-break alumni show, and pulled "Like This" from the stacks. It probably hadn't been played in several years, but when I played "Amplifier" it was a hit with the listeners. Maybe too much of a hit--because the next time I visited KJHK studios, the vinyl copy of "Like THis" was severely defaced by what looked like a can opener, with the locus on the last track on side one....."Amplifier." Well, I guess it must have hit a bit too close to home for one person!
