...number of Boston stations, notably Harvard's own WHRB 95.3 FM. Although not a "major" station in terms of listenership, WHRB's signal booms over the whole Boston area, and carries a highly "integrated" schedule that includes jazz in the mornings, classical in the afternoons and evenings, rock at night and R&B/rap on weekend nights. This "integration" is not achieved by some crude calculus of race, but by the interests of various Harvard students and the listening audience...

But Mellencamp, 47, is soldiering on, trying to re-establish his name, his image and his music. He has left Mercury Records, his label for some 20 years...
...spare himself either, laughing as he looks back at the evolution of his stage name. He started out Johnny Cougar, became John Cougar Mellencamp, and now goes by his given name. Says Mellencamp: "I don't know if there's been a more ridiculous transformation in the history of rock 'n' roll...
