Why was Biblical " Galilee Beach " renamed " Salty Brine Beach " ?

Remembering Salty Brine ( NPR )
   At the very radio station where the legendary Salty Brine worked ( WPRO ) the mysterious blast -and the injured woman-has been Talk Show topic all week. The Governor of Rhode Island , Gina Raimondo, is here at least seen as not apologetic enough for the strange incident. What if the woman had been struck by lightning on that very spot of the explosion ?
They have made a saint of this Salty Brine-- rightfully now enshrined in the Rhode Island Radio Hall of Fame. Salty was indeed a saint if your religion is crass consumerism.
Just reflect on the irony here: " Galilee State Beach was renamed Salty Brine State Beach in his honor ". They erased a beautiful Biblical name connected to ONE Galilean and replaced it with the name " Salty Brine "-not even one of the apostles.
The man of a million commercials and " No school in Foster-Gloucester ! " should perhaps have had the old Rhode Island Mall named after him instead : " Salty Brine Mall " ?
I still brush my teeth and say my prayers, as Salty reminded me on TV many decades ago.
And I still hate ALL radio and TV commercials. Don't be surprised if I vote for Bernie Sanders.
