Here We Go Again

Well, I tried starting a blog once before, but with my usual unstoppable persistance, I gave up after about two weeks. This time I absolutely, definitely, positively, unquestionably will continue to post . . . until I get bored.

I just finished my Master's thesis at CSULB, so I'll have lot of time during the next several weeks before I start my PhD program at UCSB . . . well, in between taking a chunk out of my reading lists.

So I don't know. What should this be about? Personal stuff? Political stuff? Philosophical rantings? All of the above?

Today, I think I'll comment on the Broadway channel on Sirius satellite radio. Commercial free? Great. Show tunes? Excellent. One big complaint. With like 80 years of great music to choose from, why do I have to hear Michael Crawford sing "Music of the Night" at least every other day? And I like Avenue Q, but those people seem to think it's Mozart! Come on guys! Let's get some variety. There are dozens, maybe hundreds of shows you're neglecting. I know you know them because you do play some great lesser known stuff. How about limiting a song to once a week? I'm sure there's enough material to fill in at least that much.

Well, that's my first rant. I may discuss more profound themes in the future, or I may just ramble on about nothing. Anyway, it's a start.
