Oh, Bob, you wasted your gifts building a convenience store empire.  You could have easily been the Head of Special Projects at Delta Tau Chi.

If you have a mind to look in on a 24 hour live feed of BU's make-over, they just posted a link for you to watch from.

It's a beautiful evening in Arden Hills.  Also, nice dirt.

Oz, you may be missing the big picture here. Now is the time for some enterprising rat who's looking for a spot in the Rat Hall of Fame to get out there in the dark of the night and bury a small container of JohnnieMagic TM as you guys call it. Would be in play for many years of J's visits.

Either at the 50, in the end zone (both while they are at it), visitors sidelines etc.

Kind of a Jimmy Hoffa gig, but in a significantly different way. 

Of course, there are these 24/7 cameras in play, so best they dress up in a different MIAC school's garb. 

Could I just sneak out there and take a dump at the 50?

I subscribe to Spotify which has a weekly Discovery feature that builds a random playlist based on your listening preferences.  They always toss in a few songs I haven't heard for 30 years that get me going.  This week's gem was Jane by Jefferson Starship.  A few weeks ago they hit me with April Wine and You Could Have Been a Lady.

I'm glad that I'm not in the radio business.  Except for live sport while in the car or otherwise out of the house I don't use the radio at all anymore.

Watching a ton of NHL playoffs there's a certain commercial that plays alot with a song that got in my head with the tag line "mind your own business."

I figured must be new stuff college kids are listening to so I went looking for it, only to find out it was a late 1970's - early 80's band called Delta 5.

Take a listen.

Since it's the off season and we have waded a bit into music, I have a challenge for the group.
Name a band/singer that most people like that you can't stand.
(Warning: your opinion may not be popular)

I'll start:  Paul McCartney with or without Wings. Band on the Run, are you kidding me?
(Does not include any Beatles stuff, just his love song trash since then)

Enter the fray with your notable quick change the channel favorite.

[stanbob]

Anything by Def Leppard, do not understand the love affair that classic rock stations have with them

[BDB]

Pour some sugar on me stanbob. That's what I'm talking about.

Don't be shy, we all like different stuff.  Heck, some like the Kars4Kids song apparently. Nutcases though they must be.
Last time I did something like this  MUC57 had a Perry Como entry fercrissakes.
Let us commence further trash pop artist entries.

[OldAuggie]

All songs by Boston caused me to change the channel.

Ok that's "more than a feeling" Old A, but good input. Goes to show variety of tastes. 

Just getting this thing rolling,  chime in , no wrong answers.

[OzJohnnie]

Fleetwood Mac. Except for Chains. I love that tune.

[art76]

No hard feelings BDB, but I want to turn the discussion to songs that stop us in our tracks when we hear them, because they take us back to a time we'll never forget...

There is no accounting for taste, but for me Harry Chapin's "Taxi" says so much more to me at my current age then it did when I was a teenager when it was released. (1972) Now as I think back to those years with fondness and rose colored glasses, this song really makes me glad that I still have so many good - no, great - friends from my high school days.

[HSCTiger74]

  No particular band or singer makes me want to change radio channels, but I can't move fast enough when In the Year 2525 pops up.

A genuine, certified folk-music hipster, Art.  I wouldn't have guessed.  Good pick.

[BDB]

Oz hatin' on Stevie Nicks, Art showing his sensitive side and HSC throwing in an early entry into the "Songs That Make You Wanna Barf" future survey.

It's all good.

Ok, I'll throw another log on the fire. The Grateful Dead. 

I don't get it and I never will. I have Sirius XM and they did or still do have a Grateful Dead channel. One day I told myself I must be missing something here so I tuned in to that channel and listened to it for 2 days straight. Apparently I'm still missing the bit because I just about ripped the radio out of my truck I couldn't stand that garage band noise anymore!

Entries remain open. Still looking for a MUC57'esq Perry Como type submission or any other pop music icon you think is actual trash.

Perry Como. Perry Como? More on that later.

My choice of a reason to change the station is, keep in mind I'm old, Louis Armstrong. I am a huge jazz fan, going back to the early 50's. I can't handle his Dixieland trumpet playing. And he sure as hell can't sing, though he did a lot of it. I was at a Newport (Rhode Island) Jazz Festival in 1959. When Armstrong came on stage, a very large number of people walked out. The typical comment I heard was, "I didn't come here to listen to this crap". So he gets my vote for your challenge.

BDB, do you think maybe you need a hobby of some kind? Just a thought!

Now! What -  Perry Como? The guy was so relaxed when he sang that he almost fell asleep. You younger guys have no appreciation for the classics! Remember Bing Crosby, Margaret Whiting, Helen O'connell, Ella Fitzgerald and many more. Oh, and don't forget that skinny kid - Frank Sinatra. Another young guy did pretty well - named Tony Bennett.

So there! I MUC57'ed in response to your comment on Perry Como (former barber from Cannonsburg, Pa.)

Have to run now. My nurse is here with my afternoon meds. They're trying to slow me down. Go Everybody!
