I'm listening to XM and drinking
My wife and daughter are up in Boston visiting in-laws- so I'm very bored if you can't tell.

1. Two questions: What is XM and
what are you drinking?

4. I started with 8 year old rum...
Now I'm drinking Forest Glen Cabernet- it's great. I may finish the bottle.

8. Satellite radio
It's pay radio- I know you are saying: why would anyone pay for radio? pretend it is 1980 and ask yourself: Why would anyone pay for TV?

9. Thanks for answering my question
Is it like cable where you can get more stations? If so then yeah it's worth it.

13. Good variety
It's like cable digital music but better and you can hear it in your car or on a boom box.

16. You can also
hook it up to your speakers at home without the boombox. I do that, and can also listen in my car.

2. What do you think of satellite radio?
Is it worth the cost?

18. Not Yet
I know the owners of EchoStar/Dish, asked once if it was true, Mrs. Charlie said she would check into it and get back to me, but I'm not holding my breath, she's a busy gal.

...Sirius thing just happened recently - Sirius stations not on Dish website yet.

10. check out
http://www.somafm.com

Several stations, one of which should suffice. Almost all independent label stuff.

12. What channel are you listening to?
I have XM and love it. I'm not listening to it at the moment, or drinking right now, unfortunately.

I like XMU, Fred, Ethel, and Lucy. The 70's and 80's are really good, too.
