Probably good iPod playlist material, eh?  :whistling:

You probably wouldn't believe what's on my iPod! If it ever fell into the wrong hands, it would mean the end of Western civilization as we know it, or possibly just Lichtenstein or New Jersey or Athens. Wait, the last one already happened. Good thing I mowed the lawn, huh? Ummm...what?...what was I saying?

Especially good for bike riding, too. Fast music for fast rides.

I....love to love you baby.... (is there a blushing smiley in the house!)

You look more like Stacy Keibler than Donna Summer to me. 

But since I should stick to the topic, I'll say that I nadined the top 10 hits of Donna Summer and I recognized nearly all of them from listening to the radio. 

Some of you may be too young to remember that people used to listen to music on the radio--before  el Rushbo, that is.

It is such a challenge to find music on the radio these days.  I miss it.  And I knew all of the songs too.

I have XM. I've had it for 5 years. Finding music isn't a problem.

We live in the same area of the country, you know what conventional radio is like around here.   On my way home from work after hearing about her death, I created a Donna Summer station on Pandora and listened to her music and other songs from that era.  Bo and Jim, Jody Dean, Jack, they're not doing that for me.  And if I'm in a Smooth Jazz mood, I've been out of luck for years.  I've discovered so many new artists because of Pandora that The Oasis didn't play when they were around.  

As for talk-radio, things haven't been the same around here since Ankarlo and Greg Knapp left. :-(  I lost interest in talk radio soon after that.

I totally get what you are saying, our options for real radio are very limited, but when that is what you have, that is what you have.  Which is still better than no radio.

Problem is, when you live in an area where cell coverage is spotty to non-existent, you have three choices--the local drek, Sirius/XM if you have it, or silence.

Carlos, in that picture you noticed her hair?

 :-)

In the 70s I was a KISS freak and that morphed to NWOBHM in the early, early 80s which then followed a track of Hair Metal/Sleaze/Thrash/Etc.  However, I did like Donna Summer.  Her songs had beautiful arrangement, vocals, harmonies, and the like; you know, stuff that makes music actually fit the term "music".  I would normally glide past the local "pop" station unless I recognized a few artists, Donna Summer being one of them.

RIP, great lady...
