In April 2003, Coquille River Broadcasters, Inc., reached an agreement to sell this station and three others to Bicoastal Media through their Bicoastal CB, LLC, subsidiary for a total sale price of $1.5 million.[5] The four-station deal was approved by the FCC on August 22, 2003, and the transaction was consummated on October 16, 2003.[6] At the time of the sale, KBDN broadcast a classic rock music format branded as "B96".[5]

An A-political Stand Of Reasons

by: Capdown

You always think that you can play the fool (Play the fool)
But this is life these are real decisions
You say that none of its affecting you (Affecting you)
But beyond the self there are other reasons
Stepping back you've got to take the higher ground yeah
It's not ego but a belief in the reasons why
Stepping back you've got to take the higher ground yeah
It's not ego but a belief in the reasons why
We take it all so seriously
Cos It's not 'all bullshit?
We take it all so seriously
Stepping back you've got to take the higher ground yeah
It's not ego but a belief in the reasons why
Stepping back you've got to take the higher ground yeah
It's not ego but a belief in the reasons
We must rise informed of the enemy's that face us
Put our faith in a cause that take's us
Well beyond this self-obsessed existence
For all to know and to feel the reasons why
We take it all so seriously
Cos It's not 'all bullshit?
We take it all so seriously
But you're blinded by your arrogance
Dismissing new ideas
Sure it's enough to get you through
But there's only so long that this earth can sustain us
Its time to think straight
An a-political stand of reasons
Yeah we must think straight
Cos we're throwing it all away
You wanna wait till it's all fucking up
To believe it real
There'll be nothing left that we can do
Cos there's only so long that this earth can sustain us
Its time to think straight
An a-political stand of reasons
Yeah we must think straight
And it started yesterday
It started yesterday It started yesterday
It started yesterday It started yesterday
We'll never get a second chance
To amend our evils
But it's me and you who got to choose
Cause there's only so long that this earth can sustain us
Its time to think straight
An a-political stand of reasons
Yeah we must think straight
And it started yesterday
Cos we're throwing it all away Cos we're throwing it all away
