When I was in grade school an album cost about $5.00. That was equivalent to about 33 candy bars, and the median US household income was $11,800 ($39,302 in 2006 dollars). Today a CD costs about $14.00, the equivalent of 14 candy bars, and the median US household income is $48,200. Music has decreased as a percentage of income from 0.04% to 0.03%, while candy bars have more than doubled. Candy rots your teeth, and music feeds your soul. The lesson is clear, stop buying candy bars on your break, and save your pennies for music.


I came of age when MTV actually played videos, so I am an unapologetic fan of 80’s alternative (Left Of The Dial), pop (I Want My MTV), and metal (Spandex & Hairspray).

I was fortunate to live within broadcast distance of WOXY (97-X) during the 80's, an independent station that didn't let Billboard tell them what to play. If you've seen Rainman you may recall Dustin Hoffman saying "97-X, bam, the future of rock and roll."

I freely admit that it takes talent to rap, but when I listen to music I want the vocalist to sing (or scream in key).

I am suspicious of anyone who says they don’t like The Beatles.

Pandora should get a kick-back from Amazon for all the new music I have bought because I heard it here.

FYI: I was informed that your Thumb lists only display the most recent 500. I noticed the entire first year of my Girls^3 station had gone poof, and was a little panicked.
