These spots are pure fun. They shouldn't be thought of only in conjunction with elections or poltics. Stations should download them all if only for the archives or maybe the roll call of stations at the next PRPD. They're well produced, they're musical and chock full of wonderfully arcane Americana. The pieces include not only official state songs but official birds, trees, fish and amphibions; mottos, muffins, milk and more. What a country!
