Simon??

In earlier posts, I talked about 98.7 FM, formerly known as The Zone, and how they were changing their format.

They've gone from the annoying format of playing the same songs over and over to a less annoying format of playing completely random music around the clock.

You can hear country followed by pop followed by rock followed by disco. It's a great idea, but do people really want to hear some of these slow jams from the 70s and the theme to "Chariots of Fire"?

Anyway... the station wanted a new name - instead of "The Zone" - and they've chosen one.

What is it?

"Simon." That's right. "Simon."

Not Cowell, not Paul. Just Simon.

I don't think I really understand the name, aside from the station now being able to say, "Simon says...."

Coming Soon

I'm sad to say the Musical Garbage Can will be leaving GoTriad on or about March 23. It will go back to its original home at Blogspot here. Thank you for your continued support!
