So... The Lake 94.5, an FM rock station in Milwaukee, is showing solidarity with the Packers this week by banning Emerald City bands from their playlists. That means "no Heart, no Nirvana, no Pearl Jam, no songs from any band that calls Seattle home."
Ouch.
No one would ever notice if Seattle radio stations retaliated in kind. No one would miss Bon Iver, the Violent Femmes, Killdozer, Bongzilla or all of the great Wisconsin polka acts of the 19th and 20th centuries.
On the other hand, Cheeseheads will be denying themselves not just Heart, Nirvana and Pearl Jam, but also Jimi Hendrix, the Fleetwoods, Bing Crosby, Queensryche, Sir Mix-a-Lot, the Posies, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, the Presidents of the United States of America and Mackelmore and Ryan Lewis.
Not only is our team better than yours, so is our culture.
