	 WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Reuter) - A man held a radio  
station manager hostage in the New Zealand city of Wanganui 
Friday because he wanted to hear the song ``Rainbow Connection'' 
by muppet Kermit the Frog. 
	 The New Zealand Press Association said the 21-year-old man  
barricaded himself and the manager of Star FM inside an office 
at the station, demanding to hear the song and have access to 
the microphone to talk to listeners. 
	 Police cordoned off the area and evacuated several buildings  
after the man told them he had a bomb. They then entered the 
building and arrested him. The bomb was found to be fake. 
	 The man was charged with kidnapping.
