They killed Goat Boy
So much for trying to appease the 25-34 demographic. The '80s station down here in Atlanta just got the plug pulled in favor of Real Radio, a "hot talk" station. Those in New York might remember that's what WNEW-FM turned into after rock moved out. Fittingly, this song was the last song played in its incarnation as an '80s station.

The station wasn't drawing much of a following, and I suppose it shouldn't be much of a surprise given how much of a niche the station turned into. When you're only playing the same 400-500 songs (if that many), it ends up getting a bit repetitive and just as annoying as the rest of commerical radio. It's sad when you get more of the '80s from alt-rock and soft/lite pop stations. At least there's still '80s Friday nights on this station.
