I'm a big radio fan, I
listen to the radio whenever I can. I listen to the radio in the car, I listen to radio while
I sleep. I have a GE Super-Radio in my office on the windowsill. I have a Sirius Satellite
Radio receiver with a cradle at home on my desk, and I have a Sirius cradle in my car.
I have a vacuum-tube short-wave radio behind me on the bookshelf. When the 9-volt transistor
radios first came out, I listened to the Tiger baseball games on one at the age of 10 (1965,
remember Al Kaline & Willie Horton?). I remember when there was no FM radio. A neighbor of mine when I was
growing up was a ham radio operator.
- I HATE Commercials!! -
I travel with a radio that picks up short wave so I can get an English broadcast when I'm out of
the country. I worked on electronic gear in the Navy that connected to radios. My wife was a
radioman in the Army AND the Navy. My radio listening pleasure is under attack by extremely
annoying repetitive commercials.
There are ads for carpet, ads for vacuum cleaners, ads for motels (we'll leave the light on
for ya'), ads for the Cortislim Lifestyle, ads to help me keep my hairline from receding, ads
for insurance, ads for mortgages, ads to consolidate my debts, ads for financial advising, ads for spiritual consulting, ads, ads, ads,....

to,.... "), ads for psychic guidance, ads for dating services (29 dimensions of compatability,
ads for nutritional supplements, better sex kits, there are even ads on public radio for Wal-Mart,
I like the BBC, PRI and NPR. I like Radio Sweden, Radio Brussels, Radio Prague, Radio Taiwan, Radio
