PORTLAND (NEWS CENTER Maine) -- As the MORNING REPORT's resident music expert, Xander Nelson knows the importance of priming the audience with a good opening act. That's something he was sorely lacking in his latest Rave 'N' Rage segment.
The previous news story about converting waste into energy was titled Poop to Power. Though the information in the story was important, it was a tough act to follow. And the snickers were hard to suppress as Sharon Rose Vaznis made Xander's introduction. But once Xander was able to pull himself together, he had plenty of live music performances to preview.
