NPR Boo Boo

On today's Fresh Air on NPR, Ed Ward reviewed a Jack Nitzsche collection called "Hearing is Believing." They played an excerpt from Jackie DeShannon's version of "Needles & Pins." That's fine, but Ward then called her version superior to "the Dave Clark Five's." I e-mailed them a correction. Wonder how many other Searchers fans had white knuckles on the steering wheel when they heard that? I also have to wonder who checks facts -- if at all -- for NPR.

Dave: NPR was not completely wrong then Dave. Jackie's version is superior to the DC5's as they didn't have one. We will now refer to these folks on Fresh Air as the CPR. Thankfully you gave them a bit of resuscitation. Thanks for this bit of humour.
