No Stupid Question.

Yes, a FM antenna should do, but you have to look for an adaptor, could 
be tricky.

Your screenshot just hides the relevant information from the console, 
but moreover it's more useful to have a text copy of what's going on on 
your terminal.

Seems like the application is kind of hung.
Tell us more about your setup:

OS? Distribution? Version?
Version of GNU Radio you are using?
Hardware: RAM, CPU?

Open a system monitor before starting the application and watch memory 
and CPU consumptions. I can hardly listen to FM with my PII 450MHz.
