What music are you listening to?

A PraIrie Home Companion is on in the background.

Just heard that next week will be the last broadcast of Car Talk (I'm going to miss it tremendously,) and the program that's taking its place doesn't sound interesting. :(

I'm from the farming community. That makes me a Boggan or more specifically since I've been to University, an Educated Boggan! Boggan is basically the American equivalent of redneck or hillbilly. Bog refers to mud which we have a lot of in the rainy season and after trekking around in it all day we look a bit shabby.

Gad I never liked that song....and then my daughter went to WVU and it was their fight song, their school song, stood up and sang at touchdowns... And now she loves it dang it.

Midnight Cruiser by Steely Dan (the last song on "the list" that the deejay plays starting roughly 4 p.m. local time.) The theme today was midnight, tomorrow's will be different.
