Yes I do love classic country in which I started listening to it in the 1970's as I mentioned it here before.

Yes Me too.I remember when I was in school .my friends always LOL at me and said .Why do you like that wimpy music for.I said the music makes more sense then the noise you all listening too They dig Aerosmith.Kiss,Led Zep and Alice Cooper.

Yes I do like some of those classic bands tunes today.

The problem with FM is as we know.They got to mix up their freaking setlist on every other night.They know their true fans follow them.

My ENTIRE life is based on my cousin(who couldn't get along with her stepfather) moving in with us, when I was 14-ish, with her damned Rumours. Changed my life forever, the obsession that it gave me for music(and FM, obviously, even though I've expanded my repertoire). I taught myself guitar and keys, based on this obsession. It's so hard, telling my country music friends, that my musical journey began with my FM obsession.

Funniest thing is that my family played bluegrass and country, when I was young, and I couldn't have cared less. Bunch of hillbillies, as far as I was concerned(family and the music). I was too good for that.

And in high school, I remember all my friends listening to hard(er) stuff, like AC/DC. And I actually really liked it, at the time. And it's still okay...

FM is only a machine now. The DINOSAURS that Lindsey never wanted them to become....well, they have become. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, to finance their lifestyles. And I'm not faulting them for that. But anyone who thinks it's more than that, is delusional, and obviously the fan that I was, in 8th grade!

A(greed) 100% but at the same time you don't want to shatter the hardcore fans illusions(of love).

Words to live by(learn from my dumb ass) -
Never, EVER, call an ex(that you hold dear thoughts of) to wish them a Happy Birthday.
Just don't do it. There's a reason it ended, and the last thing you need is being reminded of it. #lovesucks

I've been there! Only for me it was the last thing he needed to be reminded of.

Yeah, it wasn't very pretty. I got, "well thanks for the Birthday wish".
(bunch of restaurant dinner noise in the background)
Me> "Well, I can hear that you're busy, so I won't keep you...maybe I could call you in a day or two, just to catch up, and see how you're doing?"
"No, because I just don't want to do that" (my heart sinking)
Me>"Is something wrong? I was just checking on you, to see how you're doing".
"Well, I don't want to do that"
Me>"Okay, well Happy Birthday again, and I hope you're doing well".
"Bye"
"Bye"

Ugh. Love sucks. And I wasted almost 3 years....and it took me all of last year, to get over it. For the record, I really didn't want anything today, other than to give the birthday wish, and see how things are going....
This I VOW, I will never make that call again!

I just heard on the radio that Bonnie Franklin of One Day At A Time passed away.

She was only 69.

That was a great show to watch.

Is NBC Planning Jay Leno's Retirement?
By Sadie Gennis | TV Guide – 3 hours ago.. .

While NBC denies the reports, sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the network is preparing to oust Tonight Show's Jay Leno from his longtime roost in favor of Jimmy Fallon.

According to the two high-level sources, NBC wants to promote Fallon to the coveted 11:35 timeslot to better compete with Jimmy Kimmel. While Leno regularly beats the competition overall, it's always hit-or-miss with Kimmel when it comes to the 18-49 demo. "Kimmel has done extremely well," a source said. "Jay wins overall, but on any given night, it's neck-and-neck in 18-49. I understand where they might have fear and also feel that they own the solution [in Fallon.]"

NBC allegedly has plans to announce in May that the 2013-14 season will be Leno's last. When questioned about the reports, a representative for the comedian, who's signed on through 2014, said, "We do not speculate on rumor."

Would you miss Leno? What do you think about Fallon in the earlier timeslot?

So, here I am. After 9 days, I returned from a very different journey, that never enjoyed at all.
People were strange. "Long" faces, bad behaviours, and a very bad attention at shoppings! People looked tired or something similar, I don't know well...
Good things? Well, family, of course, scenery, places, and a girl who really looked like Nina Dobrev in the return trip! Well, I like Victoria Justice, but she looks like Nina, so I was so happy with that girl just a pair of seats behind me!

So, here I am, ready for news and for share comments and info with you!
Regards!
Mark.

It's not that I don't like the name "MacDougall", it's just really not relevant to my life. I was adopted at birth by David MacDougall and Jeanne Phillips MacDougall. Their divorce was finalized two weeks before my third birthday. He moved to Detroit and has had very little to do with me since. No little league, no Cub Scout meetings, no parent-teacher meetings. Nope, only two marching band competitions and my high school graduation. My last proper visit was in 1996. Since then, I've only been around anybody with the last name "MacDougall" for a total of 12 days if I'm being liberal, 10 days if I just include the current living MacDougalls, and 4 days with MacDougalls of my generation (my two half-siblings and my cousin); the last time I was around any MacDougall was in 2004. (Cue up Everclear.)

Last year, I reunited with my birth family. My birth parents got married three weeks before my adopted parents got divorced, had three more children, and are still very happily married. They've come down for visits, I've gone up for visits. Hell, my parents, sisters, and brothers-in-law went to a GbV show in Chicago! My brother has since become a father, and made me my nephew's godfather. I've spent a total of 55 days in one year with them so far. I am one of them. I thought my name should reflect that.

Now WHO am I supposed to think of, when I drive by Frugal MacDougal Liquors???

Because I do, every time I drive down 8th Ave South, I look up on the hill, and see that store, and remember telling you about it!

Well, if it's any consolation prize, there are ton of beer jokes that can be made now. My new cheesy pick-up line for the girls at geek bars is "Hey, wanna Hopslam?" (See, now every time you see Hopslam at a bar, you're gonna think of that stupid joke.)

...................

If Leno is bringing in the bread.Why is there this BS going on to get rid of him.It sounds like a forced retirement to me.

I love Jay Leno .He's funny.

Jay is 62 . Johnny Carson retired at 66 on the show on his own I believe.


I think CBS forced Bob Barker to retire from The Price is Right show.Bob was 83 and still doing a awesome job hosting the show.I think he could host TPIR today at 89 years old.I like Drew and I'm glad that he was picked to carry the show on.

I cant stand age discrimination .It's BS...

Jimmy Fallon will be an excellent replacement for Jay if this happens.I like Jimmy's show and he's funny too.

Jimmy' is 38.

David Letterman is 65 and so far no news on him getting canned at CBS.
If Dave retires they probably have Craig Ferguson to take the show over.

Craig is 50 .He probably do good as a replacement for Dave.
