Radio Stations in the Morning

[~Lil' Meezy~]

Alright so I just got done driving myself to work, and usually I take my brother's CTS, which has a built in ipod dock, so music isn't an issue. I drop my nano in that bad boy and we're ready to rock some Weezy / Linkin / Eminem / whatever. However, I took my dad's S55 today, which doesn't have this luxury (or even an AUX mini-jack I could tap into), so I was forced to use the radio. We have FM (obviously) and Sirius radio (sidenote: I get worse Sirius coverage than cell phone coverage, which is really ridiculous. We pay money for this thing, but I doubt I've ever heard an entire song without it skipping and going out for a few seconds. Fucking obnoxious).

The point I'm trying to make is that people on the radio in the morning will not fucking shut up. I don't care about Elvis Durhan. Or Ed Love. Or the Shade 45 crew. Seriously, shut the fuck up and play music. It's 8:30 in the morning, and I'm tired, and all I wanna do is listen to Lollipop or whatever, and these people feel the need to discuss the weather and traffic 15 fucking times in the hour. Then on top of it, take random calls from people who apparently don't have anything better to do than call a radio station in the morning.

Listen, I already text while driving. On top of that, now I have to flip through 10 fucking radio stations every 3 seconds just to find a single God-damn song. STOP TALKING. JUST PLAY MUSIC. If there is a hurricane about to hit Manhattan, or if there is a 50 car pileup on 95, then break in, tell me, and put back on the music. Otherwise just shut the fuck up already. Christ.

Discuss.

Was this post supposed to make me feel bad cuz I don't get to choose between a CTS or an S55 to go to work in the morning? All I got is the Iron Horse and an '87 Honda Civic - which I'm still not sure if that's an upgrade from the '85 Olds Delta 88 or not...I think a little part of me just died inside.

Nah, it ain't about the car - it's about the fact that people on the radio talk too fucking much. I'll take a 1928 Delta with good music over a 2008 CTS filled with boring know-it-all talk show DJ's.

I agree to an extent that sometimes there is just too much talking on the radio, and the only stations that tailor their stations to "less talk, more music" have a much more extensive genre of music to play. It is a hit or miss station usually that plays a song you have not heard in ages and enjoy, and follow it up with a song you have never heard and don't care to listen to.

On the other hand, many music stations exist only to serve to one crowd of listeners and the songs can get monotonous, which would make any driver wish to connect their ipods so they can have more control. This past weekend I had ended up driving around alot, and I listen to maybe 2 to 3 stations regularly. They love to play hit songs in heavy rotation. Now granted, I have most of these songs on my ipod, so I find myself listening to the talk shows, updates and guest speakers (depending on topic/guest of course) more and more.

Texting while driving, so dangerous. I need to stop!
