I made a virtual Linux (Ubuntu) machine on an old laptop, then realized I was using Linux when a made a Raspberry Pi project a few years ago. Most people (I don't think) realize their Mac computers and Android phones are also Linux-based.

I'm still in awe that people still listen to terrestrial radio... with all the options of Satellite Radio.... I can't live without SiriusXM... No commercials, no losing stations when driving... I'll take the quality of OTA (most stations) over streaming any day. Of course, there's the commercials, ...

Of course there's Skynyrd's response to Neil Young's "Southern Man" & "Southern Cross" with "Sweet Home Alabama." And I read that Carole King wrote "You've Got a Friend" in response to James Taylor's line "I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend" in "Fire and Rain."

i used the term "hot water heater" and he told me i would never go anywhere because if the water was already hot, it wouldn't need to be heated.

My dad used to get irritated when people said "ATM Machine."

My sister and I frequently tuned into Dr. Demento, and we'd record it off Q107 to enjoy again and again. Great times.

I would take the LPs the show was sent to us on into the production room after it aired to record the ones I liked as well!

Living In A Box - By Living In A Box

I don't play either, but Ill say Euchre because I've heard it's a Michigan thing.

Friends, Seinfeld, or The Office?

In the last ratings WTNR-FM 107.3 "Blunder Country" dropped to a 1.2% share from a 1.6% share. A format change is needed.

But then you would have nothing to talk about.

Agree, I get up there a couple times per year, usually hear Jim "figuring something out" (Upper Michigan's favorite "Crazy" song or whatever), and think "holy wha, he's still there!". Then I drive my son around Marquette and show him all the houses I was evicted from when I was going to NMU or livin...

Grundig, only because I have one.

If I had to, I would rather...
cut grass, rake leaves, or shovel snow?

If I look out my window right now, I can see the Q107 studio on Front St. They claim to be a top 7 pop station in the country - is it actually for sale? What will Jim Koski do if they are sold? I hear those sweepers/IDs when I'm up there about "being nominated the top blah-blah-blah station by some...

I don't think I'd want to eat there.

I would go there BECAUSE of that sign. If they're confident enough to make an obvious joke about themselves, they probably know what they're doing.

My father also thought Rock Me Gently was a Neil Diamond song as well.

I can totally see that.

Crumbling Down by John Mellencamp - at the time I thought it was The Rolling Stones, still think they could have done it though.

I don't remember it, but the recipe look easy, I'll give it a try, thanks!
