Re: RDS car radio



of the RDS service, Bob noted:
>> (snip) And on WROR, when you push the button it'll say the title of the 
current tune playing and even give you an advance on what's up next: "Coming 
up/ Jethro Tull". Sure enough, "Living in the Past" is the next song, and when 
you hit Info again it says "Coming up/Stevie Wonder", etc. 
(snip)
>> "Patience, drivers/ Take it slow/ Let the little/ Shavers grow/ Burma-Shave" 
on the display :)<<

lmao and smiling on that one!  see: that's why i LOVE this group.  a sense of 
humor and an opportunity to wax nostalgic (in between Pledge Breaks and Ground 
Loop Currents and ScudStuds)!

the "coming up next" feature is a benefit for those with the service and the 
desire to win tickets to see "Tull" or "Stevie," especially when the contest du 
jour is "call when you hear Jethro Tull to win tickets to see Stevie Wonder!" 
(or something) ;-)

Freedom Tunnel / Away You Go / And You Can Hear / AM Radio! / Burma Shave!

(just wanted to add that as AM reception is crystal clear going north on the 
new I-93 through Boston...)
