Satellite radio is the shit

I'm a big music guy (a post for a later day), but lately I got sick and tired of local radio stations. It's the same crap played over and over again with only the current hits getting any airtime. When I was living in Montgomery, AL there were serious issues with music selection and variety. It was either country, R&B, Top 40, or Jesus. So how do you get around that shit? Satellite radio.

I've had Sirius going on about 4 years now and I couldn't be happier. There's nothing like driving across the country and never having to change the radio station. You can get just about any kind of music you want and can even view who is playing so you can flip around to hear what you want when you want.

I get all the sports I want, too. I can listen to any NFL game I want. Each team's local broadcast teams can be heard. You can listen to NASCAR including listening in on some of the different teams. They have major college sports broadcasts for football, baseball (some), and basketball. It's great for me to listen to Auburn football games and hear the Golden Flake and Ziegler ads during the commercial breaks. It's like a little piece of home wherever I go.

And then of course there's Howard Stern. I used to listen to him when I was living in Charleston, SC and it was great stuff. After I moved I couldn't pick him up and wasn't that concerned. Maybe I thought I'd matured, but you can ask anyone and that's obviously bullshit. His show is UNREAL! It's totally uncensored and you've got some great guests, awesome chemistry with the crew, and hilarious moments. There's nothing like listening to Eric the Midget trying to have phone sex with Brandy Talore. And if you haven't heard pornstars like Jenna Jameson riding the Sybian and showing her "O" face on the air. Two words: daddy like...

*Disclaimer: My wife told me to say I find this type of entertainment vulgar, inappropriate and demeaning to women. And that I should be ashamed of myself. (She's going to kill me when she reads this)
