What About Bob?

Imagine this... It's around 7:30 a.m. and I'm getting in the car to go to school. I turn on the radio to my favorite station 101.5 The River (a classic rock station), hoping to hear something besides early morning radio conversations. I succeed and happily find the song "Take on Me" ( an 80's gem) playing, I stop and think for a second-has this station ever played this song before? I don't think so! But I push my thoughts aside, it's early and it's a great song. It goes off and another follows. At this point I'm thinking wow no commercials!?! But my lucky streak comes to an end when I discover the song being played now is by 3 Doors Down (eww!) and I know somethng is definitely wrong, my fav station would never play this song, being strictly a classic rock station only! I keep listening (to find out just what has taken place) and find out this new station is calling itself BOB FM (I know, what kind of radio station is named BOB?) and it is a mix station. I am devastated. However, I keep listening because they're actually playing some really good songs, not to mention some I hadn't ever heard on the radio, at least not around here. And then it dawned on me, I love this station! This is exactly what our area needs! Around here the stations are straight forward, and now I realize srtaight forward is boring. It was either classic rock (what I was listening to, which to be honest was ACDC, Pink Floyd, The Stones, Led Zep, Areosmith, repeat, which gets old fast), country (which I hate), or pop and hip hop/rap stuff (which I also hate). BOB is amazing, it may be a mix station but every song is good. It's like they know I'm listening and know not to dare play country or rap! I'm listening to it right now, in fact I can't stop listening to it (I never know what they'll play next and fear I might miss something good). What have I been hearing since I've started typing? Everything from Bob Marley to Rod Stwart (no joke!). So, if you love almost every type of music (especially 80's rock) tune in, it's 101.5 BOB FM and it's great!
