apply to the internet stream?

Yes, FCC is for terrestrial radio. WFMU is non-commercial, cannot promote money-making stuff. DJs cannot mention their own projects that might give them income, etc.

Thanks G. I studied some "music" business law many years ago '98 - '99 at the outset of "internet radio." I haven't kept up on the latest (not an attorney). I'm always interested in where things stand today. So the links to the support page are OK because they do "the asking" yes?

The links to gofundme are listener comments on the internet, FCC rules do not apply to that.

Sad Animals

Today I feel like a monkey in Alcatraz
I feel like an otter at Studio 54 in 1976
I feel like an analogy in the mouth of an alligator
I wouldn't wish my problems on a possum in a pickle jar
I'm not one to complain, but I feel worse than a bison
in a Geico commercial
I feel lower than a humpback whale at a Los Angeles Clippers game
I feel like a kangaroo wearing a red ensign shirt in the Original Star Trek with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy
I don't get any respect, I feel like an eagle on the moon
I got the blues, like a beaver stuck in a Xerox machine
I'm locked in a cage like a woodpecker in an ATM when the door closes
Friends, I hope you are never like me
A fish in the Chuck E Cheese plastic ball pit eating a slice of Chuck E Cheese pizza in which the cheese means plastic
Far be it from me to bemoan my sorry state of affairs
I feel like a hornet watching C-SPAN 2
I'm a llama in Hell, wearing too many delightful scarves
I am a dog driving the Path train waiting forever for the bridge in Kearny to come around
I feel like a duck in the disco fries, if you know what I mean
I feel like a wombat in a poem that should have ended two lines ago
I feel like a cat in a tree watching the final episode of the Sopranos on repeat until the universe explodes

Surgery went well, Handy! Turns out I had a deviated septum too which I didn't know about until I saw the paperwork. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Little to no pain, wisdom teeth were much worse than this. Probably won't be attending the Wake meetup because I'll still be on antibiotics, and being in the city is too big of a covid risk right now.
