Internet Radio Stations May Start Dropping Like Flies

garytalk_garywords_darker-green-background_GARYTALK.COM (January 12, 2016) – If you are like many people, young, old, and in-between, who enjoy listening to music streamed on the internet, instead of a local over the air, broadcast radio station, perhaps because you like the internet radio station’s music mix better, or their much longer playlists, or, the variety, or for whatever reason, that may no longer be an option soon.

Rap Group NWA Surprisingly Named To Rock Hall Of Fame

garytalk_garywords_darker-green-background_GARYTALK.COM (12/19/2015) – Some rock and roll purists may take offense that a raw, wild, controversial, highly influential group from the Rap Genre has made its way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

GARYWORDS: Fried Chicken Can Get Awfully Complicated

GaryWords on Garytalk.com.GARYTALK.COM (11/15/2015) – Yes, the boy seems to like fried chicken so much that he can’t think of anything else (see accompanying illustration). Just a minute, I’ll get to that, but, first: Even though we have yet to finish the Garytalk.com upgrade, I feel compelled to write about this experience and make it the first, new, 2015, GaryWords subject at the GaryTalk.com rebuild.

This happened today, when I went to my personal account on Facebook. Little did I know the incident would start me off on the road to sharing this with you, and writing more, here, instead of simply Sharing something that caught my eye to my Facebook Friends.
