Oh, if only had been a brick of hash. Rush Limbaugh was detained at Palm Beach International Airport when the fuzz found a bottle of Viagra in his luggage that was not prescribed to him. It was instead prescribed to his own physician in an “act of privacy” or some such nonsense. Limbaugh could be facing second-degree misdemeanor charges. Oh well, at least his rabid fans now know what the rest of us have known for ages – that Rush can’t get it up. Must be what creates so much pig-headed anger in the little human knockwurst.

You folks who like to pay for your song downloads may want to consider living in the UK. According to the story, “British consumers are set to be the first in the world able to buy songs instantly as they listen to them on digital radio, using a download service announced on Monday by UBC Media.”
That’s actually a rather groovy idea. Of course it would never fly over here, as the RIAA and corrupt terrestrial radio stations would have a shitfit over payments and royalties and how to set up such a bewildering business model in the first place.
If it keeps on going like it has been over here in the States, I predict that we’ll all be listening to 8 track tape cartridges once again by 2010.
Far be it from us to support any branch of ClearChannel, but a XM Radio subscribing friend of ours just sent this, and we would find it funny, if it weren’t so sad. Give ’em hell. XM.
Statement to XM Subscribers – The XM Nation
Everything we’ve done at XM since our first minute on the air is about giving you more choices. We provide more channels and music programming than any other network. We play all the music you want to hear including the artists you want to hear but can’t find on traditional FM radio. And we offer the best radios with the features you want for your cars, homes, and all places in between.
We’ve developed new radios — the Inno, Helix and NeXus — that take innovation to the next level in a totally legal way. Like TiVo, these devices give you the ability to enjoy the sports, talk and music programming whenever you want. And because they are portable, you can enjoy XM wherever you want.
The music industry wants to stop your ability to choose when and where you can listen. Their lawyers have filed a meritless lawsuit to try and stop you from enjoying these radios.
They don’t get it. These devices are clearly legal. Consumers have enjoyed the right to tape off the air for their personal use for decades, from reel-to-reel and the cassette to the VCR and TiVo.
Our new radios complement download services, they don’t replace them. If you want a copy of a song to transfer to other players or burn onto CDs, we make it easy for you to buy them through XM + Napster.
Satellite radio subscribers like you are law-abiding music consumers; a portion of your subscriber fee pays royalties directly to artists. Instead of going after pirates who don’t pay a cent, the record labels are attacking the radios used for the enjoyment of music by consumers like you. It’s misguided and wrong.
We will vigorously defend these radios and your right to enjoy them in court and before Congress, and we expect to win.
Thank you for your support.
Turning an about-face on its longtime strategy of attempting to drown radio listeners in a sea of aggressively bland, soulless, identical radio stations, Clear Channel has finally discovered the niche audiences that were there all along.
As part of a new initiative to be announced next week, Clear Channel intends to lock horns with satellite radio, rolling out new niche channels with names like Dank (“Hip Hop and Rock all rolled up into one big spliff”), Full Metal Racket (“It’s dark, it’s edgy, it beats, and it rocks”), and Mother Trucker (“a hearty serving of the best Southern Rock”). Clear Channel will also be expanding its HD radio service to 50 cities, from its current base of 28.
Can this old dog learn enough tricks to persuade people to shell out $200 for an HD radio receiver instead of signing on for satellite radio? Can the American public forgive Clear Channel for its numerous transgressions against music fans all across the country?
Stay tuned to find out.
Don’t believe me? Well then believe me when I say that the NY Attorney General is suing Entercom Communications Corp. in a payola scandal, kiddies! That’s right, good old corporate radio has been paying off the clowns behind the boards of possible 105 stations run by Entercom with “gifts, trips, and cash.” Play some shitty songs and reap the rewards! In the meantime, send no-talent asshats up the charts, forever clogging innocent kids’ ears with all the hottest chart topping tunes! They think these are hits when they’re not supposed to be! What can we do as a nation? I don’t know! Someone tell Gerardo to start paying me off with gifts, trips, and cash for all these hot news breaking stories I crib from other sites and bring to you! I deserve it!!!!
