I've probably commented on this before, but here's where I am now: I love everything RP is playing, because I feel absolutely isolated otherwise. I dunked my toe in the water of the local radio stations, and it was like acid to me.  I came scurrying back to RP to regain my musical balance.

Say what you will about this song, or any song - I'm just glad I can hear it without censorship. I hope that if things go south, Bill and Rebecca have a plan to broadcast from an obscure, mobile location (a la "Pump Up the Volume.")  I don't know what I'd do without this daily fix of MUSIC (not the crap being played on a typical FM radio station.)

Thank you, RP - thank you, Rebecca and Bill, for this true paradise of music. There'll probably come a day when we won't have this anymore, and we'll wish we'd been more grateful and attentive... Until/unless that day comes, I'm hanging here, and loving everything you play. Hugs to you both.

I am i bonkers?  I thought this was a dire straits song?

Wow a Greg Brown experience that doesn't put me to sleep!!

We visited Wall Drug a couple summer ago.  Went through the Badlands and since it was nightfall, decided to
spend the night in Wall.  Interesting place - the Drugstore.  My wife got a picture of me on the jackalope.

that's how I got here, after KPIG started the must have the audio plug in I moved on

Remember Bill used to be on KPIG (and KFAT too, I think). His roots are showing, and I dig 'em.

greg is allways good. 
  sort of amazed to hear him here.

 but then again why not
  who wudda thunk it 

grangrened jebus on a 2x6, there sure are a lot of whiny complainers here....

take it for what it is, and kick back.

I'm tempted to give a 10 just to balance out the whiners.

I like Greg Browns music, but I've got to agree that the lyrics in this suck.

I wasn't being clear. My impression that a song sucks isn't a rational response. It doesn't matter how much anyone attempts to try to appeal to my rational mind. I was simply saying that I'm okay that I think a lot of songs suck...and that I expect everyone else deal...with my being a snob.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even me. <—-an affirmation

I love RP!! I actually send money when I can...like this month. Bill is amazing. I have been introduced to so many artists that I am truly humbled. That being said, Bill's tastes and mine are not always the same. RE: Basement Jaxx

One hidden stat is that I don't rate every song I hear. I tend to rate songs that grate on my nerves, which explains the larger representation.

...and Mr. Bond, I like you. You are a very positive individual. Namaste!

That's sad crocky.   But, it's never too late to change. I hope RP helps you become more open minded about music. The reality is that just because you don't like it doesn't mean it sucks, it just means that you don't like it. Think about it.

Okay, I just did some stats on myself. I've rated a total of 1129 songs on RP.

Approximately half of my ratings are 3 or below, but at least a quarter are 7 or 8. 9 is limited to 8% and 10 is a mere 2%. Seems about right to me.

Yes, music is an obsession with me AND I'm a snob. If I don't like it, it sucks. Deal.

Here's another I don't understand.  75% of your song ratings are '3' or below with 37% being '1'.  Why do you continue to (evidently) torture yourself by listening to RP?  Is it some kind obsession?

It's not fair to attack the critic personally. If the song merits a defense, then defend the song.

As for this tune...you may have to be over 40 to "get it".  7
