Most Americans today don't like music, they just like noise.

...how many times can you tolerate A Flock Of Seagulls?

A Flock of Seagulls should never be tolerated....;^)

[randog]

...after hearing "Stairway to Heaven" and "Hotel California" for the 30,000th time...

I have the same problem--"Sweet Home Alabama", for instance, is un-listenable anymore. Don't get me wrong--great song, but I've just heard it too many times.

Now you can basically choose the music you want to hear, why put up with all that other crap.

Because even with an extensive music collection, and I have a halfway decent one, there are still songs that you hear that you don't have the CD for that you have forgotten about that plainly blow you away just like the first time you heard it.

There is absolutely still a market for radio. The best stations play an eclectic mix, not all oldies or 80's/90's or current hip hop or rock or country.

I have purchased many, many CD's for songs I love. You play it over and over. That's great because you can hear it whenever you want. But, what tends to happen is that song gets worn out fast that way. There is something to be said for the sheer joy of hitting the tuner button and just finding it there. It's like someone wrapped your radio in a ribbon and gave it to you as a present for three and a half minutes.

WK--When did you change your name to Shirley? Is it because you married Laverne? How are your cousins BillyJoBob and Earl doing? How about your sister Patty Sue? How about your uncle Roy and nephew Lamar?


Laverne left me for Squiggy.
Cousins BillyJoBob and Earl died from Aids (you figure it out)
Sister Patty Sue "R u n n o f t" with Uncle Roy.
Lamar is doing 20 to life for crimes against nature on the hog farm.
But thank you so much for not mentioning publicly my brother Leroy who is going to Miss State.

I'm a "child of the sixties" (born in 1954) and I love all kinds of music (except rap and most hip-hop). Some of the "new" stuff is really very good -- Rob Thomas, Maroon 5, Vertical Horizon, Anna Nalick, etc. etc.

[pollyg107]

LOL. My nieces cringe at the thought that I, at 51, like some of the same music they listen to.

"But thank you so much for not mentioning publicly my brother Leroy who is going to Miss State."


*GASP*

No wonder you want to keep that private.
That's worse than Lamar, who is doing 20 to life for crimes against nature on the hog farm.

You State fans (I think there are some) know I'm just teasin' y'all. ;o)

[BruceysMom]

Now now now my Oklahoma born Mother's name is Patty Sue. Show some respect! ;>)

[dixiechick2000]

"I'm not."


ROTFLOL!

You are such a mess. ;o)

My great great grandma was named Maude. She was a pretty tough old bird. She formed the original Maude squad.

"A Flock of Seagulls should never be tolerated"
Especially while you are having a picnic at the beach!

[Riverman94610]

Stairway to Heaven?
That was a great Neil Sedaka song back in 1960.
"Climb up,way up high."

[Peace Is Coming]

I've heard Good Vibrations too many times.
I used to love it, but then I snapped and couldn't take it anymore.
