I'm with 4x4. I hated country music on principle when I was in high school. When I got a little older I learned a few things. Girls like dancing, country music is good dancing music and I like drinking, country music is good drinking music. Now I like country. I'm not apologizing.

54-40 only gets play because they're helping meet the Canadian quota. At least, that's the only reason I can figure because I personally can't stand that band.
Yea, I figured as much. But seriously, do they have to play Ocean Pearl? There's so much damn good Canadian music that never gets a turn on that sh*tshow of a station.
I hate CJAY. Can't stand it. I know that all stations are repetitive, but the songs they repeat are the ones I hate the most. Guaranteed if I turn it on right now, I'll hear either Ocean Pearl or Bad to the Bone.
No offense to those of you who like that station or those songs. I just hate them, along with a bunch of other ones that seem to be on the daily playlist.
I know im late to the party, but i need to throw a few in:

The irritating issue when it comes to people and country music is that pop-country (which is primarily bad) has now just become all country music for most people. This is, of course, not the case at all. There are bluegrass, honky-tonk, rock-a-billy, and folk country bands that are fantastic in every regard but will never get played on country music radio. And people who think "all country music sucks" have already ruled out these bands because on some level they are considered country music.
Growing up as mostly a metal/hair band fan, it was tough to get over the twang they like to use in the country genre. Once you'e over it, and you listen to a wicked guitar player (such as Paisley), you can appreciate that it's a different sound, and a good sound, at that. Kinda liberating when you discover that, eh?
I fully understand why some people hate rap. It's pretty different, and they say the stupidest stuff. Most if it is dick measuring garbage, but it just sounds good to me. I love it. The beat, the rhymes, the disses. I just like it.
Songs don't have to make sense to sound good. One of my favorite drunk songs is If I Had a Million Dollars. Listening to it sober, the lyrics are just so stupid, but I love the tune, and I forgive BNL for being lyrically challenged because they sound great even when they're singing a stupid song.
I think I realized that I'm no longer ashamed of loving rap when I was in Italy. Half the songs (yeah, only half) are in Italian. They sing it so fast, that I have no idea what they're talking about. But Some of the tunes are just so catchy. I wish I took note of a few, so that I could download them. For all I know, they're advocating puppy murder, it won't make me like the song any less.

Heh heh, my last g/f was a big country music fan. In the past, that would have been a deal breaker, good thing I think clearly now.

54-40 has some great older stuff. From She-la and Ocean Pearl on though it just was overplayed way too much.
Another case of a decent Canadian band being over-played to make content requirements.
Ocean Pearl was the first hit for 54-40 in the US; is that why it gets rammed down our throats when songs like One Gun or Baby Ran get comparatively little air time?

edit, sorry, I know you're not from Calgary. 1060 and 105 are country stations, and CJAY is the local "play the same old recycled Nickleback, over, and over, and over, and over" station. When 90.3 and 92.9 were born, I knew there was a God.
Fixed, seriously you can't listen to that station for 15 minutes without hearing them
so I know what the answer is but what would all of you do in this scenario.
You recieve a call telling you that you won a copy of theo's book and get to get it signed tomorrow and front row seats for the presentation tomorrow, but you have to work.
Would you:
A) call in "sick" to work, you have 10 sick days per year (from july-july) and have used on 1.
B) go to work and try to leave at 1, presentation starts at 2 but dont know how long it goes for, and offer to come back after presentation, but there is a chance they may not allow it.
So, I got my wife an anniversary present from Tiffany, Co. It is not until next month, but the credit card bill came and it showed up on there. She saw the bill. There goes my surprise.

Say it was for your mistress.

Yeah, the surprise is gone, but the little blue box usually contains something pretty awesome so its still a great gift. Plus, they have a lot of beautiful jewelry in that store, she doesn't know exactly what you chose for her, does she?

good point. she only knows that i got something from Tiffany's. does not know for what...or whom (mistress). but she knows how much i spent.
it is a bracelet. i was thinking of putting it on her while she is asleep so when she wakes up, she will see it. i might still do that.
