Yeah, my first thought when I read the article about "Butch from the Cape"
was that this is whom WayRay is trying to become when he/she/it grows up,
his/her/its idol! No wonder that, when Butch went into a  permanent radio
silence,  WayRay was feeling like a Nirvana fan after Kurt Cobain's
self-inflicted brain surgery.

PS Regarding that article about Butch, I was blown away when I read that
Butch was once charged with harassment for calling a radio show with a
Jewish host, and expressing anti-Israel sentiments. I mean, I'm sure the
guy was a pest, but can't one call a radio show in this country and
disagree with the host's view anymore?! What is this, Iran?
