Hillary and Heidi both like Slaid!

Mainstream media failed to report Tuesday night after the Barack Obama political rally in Hibbing's Memorial Arena that Hillary took a few moments to talk music with KAXE staffer Heidi Holtan. As you can see in the photo, Holtan talked with Hillary behind the curtain.

"I couldn't believe that she had KAXE coming out of her earbuds. I thought it would be her speech or something!!"

Holtan went on to say, "Hillary and I differ on our taste in music. She's more jam-band than I am - like Phish and The Dead. We do both like Slaid Cleaves and The Wailin' Jennys!"

Due to limited time in Minnesota, Clinton did not have time to stop in at the KAXE studios. "I'm totally bummed!" said the lover of all things pants-suits, "I wanted to make it to the Wailin' Jenny's concert last August, but I've been totally overbooked. But mark me down for next summer's KAXE Mississippi River Festival - save a brat on a stick for me!"

McCain announces endorsement!


U.S. Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain (R-AZ) waved down a crowd of supporters at his whistle-stop tour of northern Minnesota and officially endorsed KAXE as the best community radio station in the entire USA. "People just don't understand the value of KAXE. They bring the people and communities of northern Minnesota and beyond national, local and regional news ... plus music that moves your soul. I love Martin Sexton!" said McCain.

It's the American way .. pledge to KAXE today.

PALIN PROMOTES KAXE


Republican VP Candidate Sarah Palin made a surprising visit to KAXE's studio this morning in an effort to raise awareness for KAXE in their effort to raise $45,000 during their Northern Exposure Fall Fundraiser. "There have been a lot of suggestions and plans thrown out there for economic recovery in the United States. However, if there ever was an economic recovery plan you actually wanted to invest in, KAXE is it. Their coverage of the election is second to none. The music played by all those incredibly loyal volunteers is mind-boggling. KAXE is not only valuable to the people and communities it serves, I consider it a national treasure, " said Palin.
