Sirius

I've left you, dear readers, for much too long without my sage words of wisdom, or barring that, a quick laugh. I hope you all had a great Fourth of July - it was overcast here in Jersey, but hey, any day I can use the grill and not cook inside is a great day for me.

I want to talk about something near and dear to my heart today, and that's my Sirius radio. I have one in the car and in the bedroom and am aiming for one in the living room.

Oh, Domestic Goddess, you ask, why o why do you need to PAY for radio? Don't you want to listen to the repetitive commercials and obnoxious DJs who think they're funny and continous promotion and contests?

Dear readers, no. I abhor terrestial radio. And I'll tell you why. The first time you hear the Miller light commercial it's funny "Mr. cell phone holster man". The seventh time in a 30 min time frame, not so funny. DJs who are weak Howard Stern imitators (both black and white) not funny. Steve Harvey on WBLS in the morning (New York)......funny for about 10 min. How much slack jawed country talkin can a refined lady like me take? Don't get me started as to why I never hear Greyhound commercials on any stations but WBLS (New York)

Oh, Domestic Goddess, why does Sirius please you so?

Well, dear reader, although I am a refined lady, I do love Howard Stern. Yes. Now, I've said it, it's out. I've listen to him for nearly 25 years on and off. Yep, since high school. Now that that's out on the table, I also like Sirius for the following reasons:

Siriusly Sinatra - Nobody swings it like Frank.
Elvis Radio - Nobody sings it like the King.
Foxxhole - Where else can you hear Paul Mooney's riff on zoo animals and catching a taxi in New York. This is the guy who WROTE for Richard Pryor.
80s Channel - Like it or not, I'm a child of the 80s...."Sweet Dreams are made of this...."
Family and Kids - While in the car with the little ones, they love it!

there's more, but I won't bore you with the further outlining of my musical tastes, although I know you all are DYING to know.

The best part of Sirius? No commercials and no annoying jabbering DJs trying to make a name for themselves by being outrageous.

Back next time with more meanderings!
