I got a bonus one

I hate the fucking Eagles.

As musicians go, I have no problem with Henley.  I can't say the same for the dear departed Glenn Fry.

I don't get the "bonus one" comment.

And I've become a fan of Brandon Phillips.

The "I hate the fucking Eagles" is a line from "The Big Lewbowski."
I would urge you to watch the documentary on the Eagles that came out on Showtime about two years ago. Everyone who has ever been in the band or associated with the band is an self-absorbed asshole, except for poor Timothy B. Schmit, And the Eagles produced and had creative control over the content. I can only imagine what the unsanitized version of their history is like.

Alcantara started today's game for the "Surprise" in the AFL.  Pitched 2 innings.  Gave up 1 run (earned), walked 3, 2 k's.

Mercado started in CF.  Batted 3d.  1 for 3.

I imagine 'its the same one I saw on Netflix (my daughter's subscription).   that's when I decided Glenn Frey was one of the biggest assholes of all time.  I came away liking Don Felder.

I still don't get "bonus one."  Did you, AP, mean boner one?
 

Mags, since no one else seems willing to answer your question, allow me to help.  

If you go way back in the thread, Artie said there were 5 scenarios that could make him stop rooting for the Cardinals, hiring Dusty as manager being one of them.  AP then asked for the other 4.  Artie responded, but listed 5 other scenarios, hence the reference to a "bonus one."  (i.e., a bonus scenario).

This is correct.  Sad but the most attention my boner has recieved has been a misinterpreted quote on a cardinals message board attended by about 5 guys.

As far as the eagles go.  I do t mind the eagles.  It is noise i listen to while i drive around.  If it entertains me that particular day for the 3 minutes it is on. I dont give a guy that has made a living singing the ability to sway my opinion on life.  Most likely they have flunk our of high school and snorted most their brain cells away.

Hey, don't include me. I said I wasn't touching your boner.

 
And this is why this thread is called off season crap .

Patton Oswalt has a standup bit about when he was 25-years-old, not only would he tell you your music sucked, he would tell you why your music sucked and resent you for liking the sucky music you like.
I'm better about that than it used to be, but if I'm riding with you in your car and Stevie Nicks or Billy Joel or Rod Stewart come on the radio, and you don't make a move to change the station by the time the vocal starts, we're going to have a problem.

Probably wouldnt be listening to a station that would be playing them in the first place.

Unfortunately, the tape player and the CD player on the 1995 Avalon that is my main vehicle no longer work.  So I'm foroced to listen to radio or risk day dreaming and not watching the road.  About 10 years ago, I was going to trade the Avalon in for a new car and I decided not because I found out that none of the new ones came with a tape player.  I hate having to learn something new that isn't isn't found on something that made my to-read list before the turn of the century.  Then mine went out.  The 12 disc CD player had quit working several years earlier.

Thus, I'm relegated to a station that plays music for baby boomers and older and I am usually grateful to hear an occasional number by the Eagles or Fleetwood Mac.  Not as much as Vaughn Monroe or Tennessee Ernie but a damn sight more than hearing some 25 year-old's rendition of a Johnny Mathis classic.

OK, I handled the question about the "bonus one."  Who wants to explain to Mags the concept of using your phone as an iPod/MP3 player?

Do you think a '95 Avalon has a USB port?
My wife drives a 2010 Ford Escape and I drive a 2011 Hyundai Pieceofshit. Both of them came with satellite radios. Mine has XM, which gives me all access to the Cardinals' radio broadcasts. Hers has Sirius. I almost dropped them a couple of months ago. My wife's car wasn't getting the satellite signal, and I ended up replicating Bill Murray's effort on "Groundhog Day" on the phone with three ladies who didn't speak English and were probably at an office somewhere in Rangoon.  
My radio is tuned most of the time to Ozzy's Boneyard, and I like Eddie Trunk's talk show programs on Hair Nation and station #106, the name of which temporarily escapes me because I don't listen to it at any other time due to the preponderance of shows that feature Nik Carter, fat puke Ron Bennington and/or anyone from Rolling Stone magazine.
I couldn't handle terrestrial radio anymore because the stations I was listening to were playing the same songs by the same 20 artists over and over. If I had heard "Rhiannon" or any one of a half-dozen other songs by pre-Peter Green Fleetwood Mac one more time, I would have probably popped every blood vessel in my skull. My dislike of Rod Stewart and Billy Joel has more to do with the fact that they're pussies who cater their music to post-menopausal women.

I did like satellite radio when i had it free.  Especially the talk stuff. 

Lets see, preset in my car is

One classic rock station that has a nation show.  They do a decent job of playing stuff ill listen to.

Three pop station that play the same 12 songs over and over.  i rately listen to it but will on occasion just to mix it up.

One espn sports radio show.  I try to listen to it but it seems to only be about whatever lebron is whining about this week, nfl arrest bloater and athletes thinking i care about there political views.  It does play cards games tho. 

Six country stations i flip through who also play the same 12 songs over and over. 

I wish there was a station i got in that carried the blues.

Im suprised i havent wore my radio out changing stations.  Ill listen to about anything but i get sick of about everything.

XM has a Blues station, but it's not very adventurous. There's a lot of B.B. King, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. Every once in awhile they'll throw you a bone with something a little more obscure like Roy Buchanan or Hound Dog Taylor, but they pretty much stick to the script. And they move the channel around every couple of years. It used to be Channel 70, and now it's 74. Before that, it was in the 60s, and when I first got the radio I think it was in the 30s.
There's also a station that's called "Outlaw Country" that's has a show in the afternoon with Mojo Nixon, who plays everything from Zappa to Bob Wills, but when Nixon isn't on it's a pretty bland mix of Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams Jr.

I ment the stl blues
