The same one I'm on, I'm afraid, the one that makes me feel like an
old fart!
I'm with you on your comments about Clear Channel. Not only have they
ruined the Classic Rock station in my market, they've basically turned
the local Smooth Jazz station into the same thing! Among the "smooth
jazz" tunes on their playlist:
"Hole In My Heart", Phil Collins
"Minute By Minute", Michael McDonald
"What's Love Got To Do With It?", Tina Turner
and the one that really cracks me up: "True" by Spandau Ballet
Not that there's anything wrong with those songs (well, except for
"True", which calls for an instant station change), but when that
cola-nut guy (Geoffrey Holder) comes on and says "that's Smooooooth
Jaaaazz", I always shout back: "No it's not!", and then look around to
see if anybody else stuck in rush hour heard me.
