Watch the "never...," old buddy. I remember, very distinctly, saying over the past half century, I'd "never have," or "don't see the sense in having..." colour TV, microwave, satellite TV, cell phone (I still hate 'em but, like the auto, they're a necessary evil), DSL, DVR, and satellite radio.

Actually, I like it because I listen almost exclusively to talk radio and many of the talk personalities are available in every area of the country. With satellite radio they are on the same time of the day, wherever I happen to be. The ones I personally like, who aren't on here in Mobile (G. Gordon Liddy, Michael Savage, Mark Davis, to name a few), I can get thru the satellite. Otherwise, here in Mobile, I'd have to either listen to the local selection, which is basically of "shock jock" mentality and thus garbage, or listen to "music" (term applied very loosely).

Yeah, I see your point about paying for soemthing which "should" be free but... alas, whoever said life is uniformly fair? I rationalized (Bob's definition; rationalize: the art of being unfair to yourself or others without feeling guilty) that $12 a month for entertainment wasn't out of the question.

Since I am in that fixed income stage of my life I'm pretty confident that by the time I'm forced into turning to pay per listen radio, I'll be to poor to be able to afford it. I also have a feeling that even if I can afford it and it is the only venue for listening to NASCAR, it will be a WWF type event anyway. I'll just sit at home in my recliner and watch the Food Channel.

and...
3. The following:
David Poole and Marty Snider to Host Sirius Radio Show: NASCAR beat reporter and columnist David Poole and veteran broadcaster Marty Snider will host a daily talk show, SIRIUS NASCAR Radio's The Morning Drive, exclusively on SIRIUS. Starting January 1, The Morning Drive will air every weekday morning from 7:00-11:00 AM ET exclusively on SIRIUS NASCAR Radio / channel 128, the new 24/7 year-round radio channel dedicated to NASCAR. Snider and Poole will delve into NASCAR's latest news and rumors, interview prominent guests, and take calls from listeners.(Sirius PR)(12-13-2006)

Marty is a bit of a Kool-Aid drinker but David has a habit of telling it like it is.
