Musically, I guess I'm a little middle of the road,
in a rock way. I love to play hard
loud rock and I like to play folky acoustic stuff. I've always had a wide range as far as
taste in music. Growing up n the '70's, obviously, I am partial to the music from that
decade. I like to think that I have kept up with the times in music. I don't like it all,
but I never did. I tend to prefer serious music. Not intending your music as pop music is
my definition of serious music.

I really got into "New Rock Alternative" when we
moved to Northwest Ohio. Must be the thin air up there. I was listening to WBUZ "The Buzz" 106. They
had taken some heat over the use
of the nickname "The Buzz". They probably didn't want to sound
like they endorsed getting a buzz. It was probably decided to change the
nickname of the station to "ROCK106" in a bar when they were all
drunk.
I still listened to "ROCK106" occasionally, but I
started listening
to "89X" CIMX from Windsor/Detroit after the change at "The
Buzz". They played music in the morning. That is what made them different. Seems like every radio station has a Bob and Tom or
a Tom and Jerry or a Luke and a Skywalker, or something like that. Just
shut up and play music. Howard Stern can be funny, but obviously he's
going through mid-life crisis right now. All he thinks that's
funny anymore is boobs and butts and his reaction to putting them in his face or
on his lap. Come to think of it, that would be funny if some woman did it
to me. But listening to it....
Now I listen mainly to
"The Stephanie Miller Show"
podcast. I rarely listen to any radio stations except when I am in my
wife's car. She has XM. I usually just listen for a few minutes and turn
it off or listen to a CD.
