A tribute to A Prairie Home Companion
Song by Nick Lowe

Minneapolis-St. Paul KNOW-FM- 91.1
--------------------
Stoplight Roses
You've practiced and rehearsed it
But in your heart you know it's too late
Experience should tell you
Never get your story too straight
You'd better steel yourself
and prepare for some blues to descend
Cause you've broken something this time
stoplight roses can't mend ...
--------------------
The basic premise behind Saturday by the Radio:
In this MTV world that we have created, we have lost the ability to sit quietly, listen, and savor the richness of the moment and the Zen of the human spirit personified in music. This is not an anti-MTV statement; this is to say that as we embrace what is exciting and new, we need not throw away that which has proven worth keeping.
It is also gentle reminder that ultimately what we take away from Second Life and commit to memory - what touches us most - are the brief but enduring human moments.
Recently someone remarked that Saturday by the Radio is rather like the Andy Warhol of machinima.
