The radio buttons go to classic rock, oldies, light rock, jazz, and NPR. Books on tape either put me to sleep or I can't concentrate on the book and my driving, although I can listen to talk/sports radio with no problem... go figure!
Cheers!
Paul
most people would get on you for all that John Denver...Personally I like it.

I have a books on tape of Dave Berry, and couldn't get into it, even though his writing is hilarious. I guess I prefer it in print.
I cut my own CDs, and mostly it's plain ol' pop.

He's huge in Brazil. It was odd because his music was "launched" there in the late 80s and he enjoyed almost cult-like status there.

If they only brought in some of the foreign cars to the US market.

My brother had a Tempra sedan, which is maybe Civic-sized, if that. It was OK but would not meet US quality standards.
One funny thing - in those markets you will see "premium" small cars. They'll load up those tiny little cars, it's hilarious. But they wouldn't fly in this country, where gas is closer to free than it is to the prices they pay, and distances tend to be farther too.

I used to like Patricia Cornwell's "Scarpetta" series but her books sort of deteriorated lately. Still, I wish they had someone in DC like Ms Scarpetta... She would have resolved Chandra's mystery looong time ago!
Karen: yes, Jim Dill is incredible. At first, I was a bit tired of his British accent, but after 1/2 hour got totally into it!
Alan Parsons (sadly,last yearmoved from UK to CA and stopped writing music)
B-52s
R.E.M.
Seal
Wings (Paul McCartney)

It surprises me pleasantly that the "old time" music I was exposed to as a child is finding a new audience due to the "O Brother!" phenomenon. Bluegrass and folk are fine, much better than what passes for modern country which IMO isn't that far removed from pop. A lot of people don't like the lyrics or melodies but you can't deny the craftsmanship.
Strangely enough I'm about played out with blues and jazz, and I don't know why but I liked classical much more as a child and teenager than I do now. I guess "alternative" and "singer-songwriter" would be the best description of the genres I listen to most often today.
I spend most of my time now split between finding new stuff and "rediscovering" the old.

The best famous musician story for me....
When I was living in Israel, I worked for the Israeli govt Educational TV station. Chick Corea, on a tour in Israel, came to the TV station to do one of the shows. I was picked to serve as his translator; Got to sit next to him as he played piano, got to see the concert, etc. He is a really nice guy, very down to earth. I took lots of pics. Flash Forward around 4 years to Central Park...Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Wynton Marsalis are giving a free concert. During intermission, I brought my photos with me and went up to the security fence. I asked the guard if I could talk to Chick, and showed him the photos. He said to wait...a few minutes later, along comes Chick, Herbie, and Wynton...I was floored! He remembered me and we talked for a few minutes about that show. I gave him some of the photos, and we said goodbye.
Another story, next week kids....Linda Ronstadt.

OK I'll stop now.

PS USF = U Stay Forever! My best man went to the Tampa campus
The very first concert I ever went to was Jimi Hendrix in 1967 at Westchester County Civic Center in White Plains.
How about the rest of you fine folks?...first concerts...
-juice
Saw lots of great music at some of the smaller venues - there was a bar in the "concrete jungle" of Waikiki whose name escapes me, but I remember hearing Santana there every time he was in town - and yes, I do have stories lol!
The first big concert I remember from that summer was Janis Joplin in the Arena - bittersweet since she died just a few months after.
The ARena wasn't a big place at all by today's standards, but still I'm with you juice - the smaller the venue the better!
Anyone ever hear of Renaissance (Annie Haslam)? They are an older band (no longer playing) that fuse classical and rock. Absolutely love their music. Juice - I have one of Annie's latest CDs which is live from Brazil. She wrote a song called Brazilian Skies for that concert.
Other music I enjoy: John Cougar Mellancamp, Starship, Airplane (they're different), Celine Dion, Billy Joel, Dido. Getting into some country lately too. Think I need to get a Dundie cowboy hat.

Musical close calls: a tiny bar in Toledo in 1975 when I attended BGSU. Badfinger played for 3-1/2 hours about ten feet from our table.
On GM and bringing Fiat cars to the US: Remember what all companies Fiat owns, and who GM could align them with; Chevy and Fiat, GMC and those neat big FIAT trucks, Buick and Lamborghini, and in this corner, the Pontiac and the Ferrari 550 Maranello Coupe! Scuderia Aztek!

Enjoy France!

The tires are noisy, but I knew that before this trip. The radio is quite good. The AC feels a little weak-- not sure if that's because it needs recharged, if it's just a consequence of an all black car in 90 degree weather with bright sunshine, or if the car has an underdrive pulley and is spinning the AC compressor a little slow. I doubt the latter but you never know and I haven't looked that close under the hood yet.
Got 26 MPG with about 90% of that at 77 MPH and a touch of city driving on either end of the trip. Oh and I absolutely loved the feeling of making a pass at 60 MPH on the 435 in KC... dropped it down to 3rd and let it rip, in short order was doing 90. Think I'll reward the car and myself with a nice wash this weekend.

I was thinking that was quite an eclectic list, (which I guess it is in terms of content), but then I took a good look & realized that almost everything there is acoustic! Didn't even realize it. Maybe it's because I finally have a car that's quiet enough so I can really enjoy the finer nuances of good music!

She wanted to buy the CD for the guy that made a guest appearance on Ally McBeal, the young singer she went out on a date with, I forget his name.
She's an impulse buyer, so any new fad attracts her.
