I did say that preaching as a part of the music doesn't count.

e.g. = exempli gratia = "for the sake of example"

I was drawing an analogy.

Yes , an analogy to a subject I already stated that was an exception to what I was talking about.

yeah i'm between writing in Ron Paul and Mitt Romney... I'm leaning towards RP right now because he can actually make a splash but Romney is the politician i really, really like

Everyone made a big deal about how Mitt Romney was religious, and failed to realize that he had the best economic background. Well, everyones fucked no matter how they vote now!

The deejays are TERRIBLE (Alan Cox was the last good one, and he got fired because of some prick I know), and the closest thing we have to "alternative radio" is Bob FM (96.9). I catch myself listening to NPR on occasion over the weekends to try to pick up some jazz, but apart from that, I haven't discovered shit through our radio.

Lying???...Man you are a jackass.

I have lived here most of my life and there has always been some very good radio.

1. Bob Fm (as you mentioned, plays everything is very good, though hit or miss)

2. WDVE (Plays hard rock and classic rock. Lots of ACDC, Floyd, Hendrix, Clapton, Guns and Roses, the list goes on)

3. WQED (plays classical, which is great to listen to in mornings or nights before i go to bed)

4 WYEP (This is my favorite, as it plays almost anything. Independent and user supported, no commercials. If you are still being a prick then check what they play, they list it daily.

91.3fm wyep :: music - playlist

Lol, they probably made a big deal about it because Mitt Romney was a delusional conservative douchebag who considered voting for Clinton/Obama a surrender to terrorism and constantly talked about changing America from liberal to conservative (he even said Washington needed to be changed back to conservative because the liberals have had it too long, despite the fact his party has held the white house for the past 8 years and the democrats haven't done shit since they got the house.) He also did a complete 180 on half his stances he had when he was running for governor to when he started running for president and all that has nothing to do with the fact he hates the idea of seperation of church and state. I don't know why you think Mitt Romney would save the American economy either, the man is a big believer in Bush and Reaganomics.

Truer words were never spoken. Everyone raves about Bob FM, but even that is pretty tame and predictible.

And Urban, though I hate Bono as a musician, I do think he has the right idea. No, people shouldn't blindly listen to him just because he's a rock star, but he's using his celebrity to publicize worthy causes (and to highlight injustices), and how can that be bad?
