Your favourite radio station changes its format, do you: A) find a new station, B) rearrange your MP3 player's play list or C) show up at night and try to burn the place down. Yeah, it's
C.A volunteer at a community radio station set fire to the station because he was upset that his song selections for an overnight Internet broadcast were changed, police said.
Paul Webster Feinstein, 24, has been charged with second-degree felony arson for the Jan. 5 fire that caused $300,000 damage to the studios of 91.7 FM KOOP. He faces from two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.
Feinstein told investigators that he was "very unhappy" about the changes to his playlist, said Austin Fire Department Battalion Chief Greg Nye. The songs were intended for an Internet broadcast that occurs when the station is off the air.
And now, the punchline:
Feinstein was a jazz fan and his Internet program was called "Mellow Down Easy," Dickens said.
Dude was the most
Un-mellow person in the history of jazz.
