100 Posts!!!

I was going to start writing about something else but logging into Blogger I've realized that this is my 100th post! YEY Maky!
Granted, I could've updated this more often than I do but let's face it... it's probably the one thing I've stuck to for a long period of time. So, happy 100th post to me and on with my initial post :-)

On my way to and from work I've got the car radio on most of the time. The channels vary between Boston's country station and Boston's classical music station. Whilst I like the country one most of the time, after a while it gets boring since they play the same new stuff that's on the charts over and over again. And the few older songs in between don't make it worth listening to. So I switch over to the classical one.
Now, classical music really isn't meant to be listened to on the road when you speed down the highway and the wind drowns out the beauty of most pieces. Yet I find it much more relaxing and enchanting sometimes so I listen anyway. But what bugs me the most (and ultimately makes me turn back to the country station) is the same thing that did my head in when I was listening to Classic FM in the UK - the DJs!!!
I mean, dear GOD, I understand that the audience for classical music is a much older one than that for country, rock or pop, but do the presenters for classical music radio have to be so unbelievably dull??? Why, if I were to stick to that station when they start talking, their monotone voices would put me to sleep instantly and I'd die in a violent car accident! No kidding, all presenters sound like they're on some heavy duty drugs or sleeping pills. They talk so slowly that I sometimes wish I was in the studio kicking them in the butt, telling them to bloody get a move on and play more music instead of boring me to death!

Oh well - I guess not everyone that's on the radio can be scintillating and refreshing. I have to admit, even the country station morning show is boring. But then again I compare it with the best morning show on radio I've ever heard - and that's WSIX's Jerry House. That man is a comic genius and if only my car radio could pick up the FM waves all the way from Nashville I'd be a happy commuter.
I guess I can't have it all - YET. Once I get to Nashville, I swear I'll live far outta town so I can listen to Jerry and the House Foundation on my way to work.


WOHOOO!!!! 100 posts!!!! :-)
