My wife and I had a bit of a toss up with our local 103.7 Peak FM here in Albuquerque. They debuted the song yesterday morning in their morning hack talk show. They said prior to playing the single even once:
"Ok - well here is something new - here is the new U2 song that nobody likes." They they preceeded to play it in 15 second increments, trying to accuse Bono of ripping off OMG and how they knew that even hard core U2 fans didn't like the direction the band was going.
We both emailed the station and told them we thought it was a bit quick to say no one like the song - since no one in Albuquerque had heard it on the radio yet. Also, as it had just been released anywhere in the world about 10 hours ago (and it was only 8AM locally) it was a bit of a stretch to categorize "hard core fans" reaction in the way they did. We invited them to send the single to us or return it to Universal Music, and continue to play OAR and Kelly Clarkson 14 times an hour.
They read our emails on the air, called us names, etc. and basically made asses of themselves and taunted us as "u2 freaks" for the rest of the hour.
Corporate radio is so out of touch it is unbelievable.
