Man, rock and roll really is dying, isn't it? Or at the future of it is. Just received some rather disheartening news that the almighty WOXY.com, the finest station this side of KEXP, has suspended its live broadcasts indefinitely as of today due to a lack of funding.

Here's to hoping one of us hits Powerball soon or something, so we can help keep these beloved institutions going.
