I think they have a Disney type channel as well. <em>Woody's last blog post..<a href='http://www.truegadgets.com/home-gadgets/bike-mount-holder-for-iphone-or-ipod/' rel="nofollow">Bike Mount Holder for iPhone or iPod</a></em> I went with Sirius radio and never looked back.

HOW is this POSSIBLE????? How can OUR music be oldies? Oldies are from the 50's and 60's MAYBE the 70's. 80's music is just 80's music. It's its own genre right? It blows me away when I put it in perspective. Shall I further depress you? Most of those songs are older than kids who are now of legal drinking age. Yeah, they weren't even BORN yet.
