XMmmmmmmm

The Monte Carlo came with a year of OnStar and three months of XM Radio. I am really enjoying the XM Radio, particularly the Decades category which hosts the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and another decade which means nothing to me. Oddly enough, I find myself tuned to the 40’s and 50’s more than the other decades. One would almost assume I am tuned in 24/7 to the 60’s station, but nope, not that much. XM is really a great idea but I find that it’s just not very reliable. I lose signal quite often. In fact, if I concentrate hard enough, I can make the signal drop using just the power of my mind. It’s true! Driving home from work I was listening to the 50’s station and I was overjoyed to hear them playing Rockabilly! There must have been 5 songs in a row from Ricky Nelson and then they played Eddie Cochran! My question is, once the 3 months are up, is it worth 10-12.00 per month? I am not quite sure. One thing I really quite like is the presence of Wolfman Jack on the 60’s station. Wolfman’s been dead at least 10 years! How is it possible he is broadcasting on XM Radio? I have no clue but I do find it almost comforting. It’s like I tune into a parallel universe where Wolfman Jack lives forever and Eddie Cochran gets airplay.

    It says they are using old airchecks and archives but I think it’s more than that. It must be an actor portraying him because he interacts with current callers and he mentions XM radio.
