Coast to coast am

I think Coast to Coast is entertaining. I would be afraid to listen to Audio books because a good mystery could take my mind off the road. As far as brother Ramsey at least once a day he encourages a caller to offer $.25 to $.50 on the dollar on debt they have incurred. IF you borrow or are fronted money. Whether it's a Loan company, Bank or individual. You should be responsible to repay it. If it takes five years so be it. Pay the principle & some interest. Brother Ramsey is always spouting the Bible although I have never heard him say " after I became a millionair(sp) I went back and repaid all the people I stiffed from my Bankruptcy"
I can attest to that! We've shared some music. I also like audiobooks. My county library systems has a large variety of audiobooks that can be checked out for 3 weeks and then renewed online for 2 more 3 week periods. My library also offers audiobook downloads that can be downloaded to an iPod type device. Some titles can even be downloaded and burned to CDs.
I am also a fan of FM college stations. They offer a great variety music and other programing. I recall a folk song that was about finding the best music on either (far) end of the FM dial, the 80 to low 90 MHz and the upper 106 to 108 MHz. Can't remember who it was by.
Years ago I would deliver in and around Chicago. Back then I would search out low power pirate FM stations at night while waiting to deliver. Great blues and soul music with some really crazy rants mixed in.
I've got an iPod full of music and audiobooks that is controlled and played through my van's stereo and a collection of CDs. Between those and the AM and FM bands, I haven't seen the need for a satellite radio subscription, yet.

There is nothing immoral about bankruptsy. Its a legal remedy for monetary tradegedy. Our founding fathers who were mostly christians, (real ones too) wrote it into the Constitution for a reason.
Click and Clack retired last fall but many NPR stations broadcast a kind of best of Car Talk. There is also Whad'ya Know, a trivia game show of sorts on many public radio stations Saturday mornings.
So called investment experts that advise a national audience to buy gold, some other commodity or stock immediately are busy selling their holdings while you buy and drive up the price.

There's nothing wrong with bankruptcy if you then pay off your debts. It's one thing to use bankruptcy to reorganize, but totally another to use it to stiff your creditors.
AMonger, check out KFAI a low power FM radio station in Minneapolis. This radio station can also be found on the net at www.kfai.org All shows can be streamed live or listened to later through their archive function. Great blues, R & B, international music, folk and even country and western. Real C & W music is featured on a show called Good and Country.
A show that should get AMonger wound up and his blood boiling is:Fresh Fruit | KFAI.
Bon appetit !

Monger - U R WRONG. I would think a guy pulling the Christian card would realize this. There is no more a christian monetary concept than bankruptsy.
In fact a person can't even be a CHristian without having a moral bankruptsy and appealing to the court. Where God declares your debts paid.
Com on man stop being a stooge for the the IMF.

But you realize there are different kinds of bankruptcy, right? The moral one makes your creditors give you some room while you reorganize, renegotiate, etc. It's only moral if you pay off your debts in the end.

Realizing your moral bankruptcy is one thing, and a necessary one. "Thou shalt not steal" is another necessity. We don't have The Year of Jubilee like ancient Israel.
You'd want to be repaid if you were a creditor.

I like the name. Clever is good. I'd listen to that before I'd listen to C&W.

John Hiatt has song about Pirate Radio, but it's not the song you write about...I know that song too, but danged if I can call it up from the depths of musical memory. Gonna drive me nuts now 'til I find it or figure it out.
And yeah, absolutely, I haven't felt the need at all--with all the other options I have close at hand-- to have, or pay for, satellite radio. Listened to it a few times and find most of the music shows a little soul-less, a little too canned for my tastes. Though Bob Dylan had (maybe still has) a cool themed show on Sirius/XM in which he often interviews other interesting musicians like Tom Waits and others.
Let's see if I can post some vids about radio...
Here's Steve Earle singing about Satellite Radio:
http://youtu.be/3mZAnFE0tyA
" Is there anybody out there? One–two-three on the satellite radio?
Big daddy on the air, are you listenin’ to me? On the satellite radio
At the galaxy’s end where the stars burn bright are you tunin’ in and turnin’ on? Is there anybody listenin’ to earth tonight on the satellite radio?"
And this song, this song never fails to get me moving. If driving and tired, I'll put this on and crank it to 11. It's like drinking three cups of coffee. It's Radio Nowhere, by Bruce Springsteen, another song about satellite radio:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtrOYsNCPmg
"I was trying to find my way home,
But all I heard was a drone.
Bouncin' off a satellite
Crushing the last long American night.
This is radio nowhere.
Is there anybody alive out there?
This is radio nowhere.
Is there anybody alive out there?
I was sitting around a dead dial
Just another lost number in a file.
Dancing down a dark hole
Just searching for a world with some soul.
This is radio nowhere... "

note: silly forum...no matter how one links vids here, they seem to show up differently depending on whether you are using a laptop (mine shows links only), iPad or phone (both show vid itself whether I post the embed or share link...)

Keep plugging away. I just Googled what I thought might be partial lines from the song. No luck. I also Googled "songs about fm radio". Struck out again.
I listen to light rock. The 70's,80's,90's and todays hits. Just good clean fun songs to listen too.
