[speaker001:] great
[speaker002:] um are you what what type of music do you like
[speaker001:] uh I like uh probably cutting edge rock would be the best way to describe it
[speaker002:] oh well then I'm sure we're going to have a lot in common I'm just joking what exactly is cutting edge rock
[speaker001:] good deal  cutting edge rock oh I don't know you got your top forty rock which I just can't stand top forty music the stuff you'd see on MTV and VH One and what have you and then there's new music come from we've got a radio station down here that uh
[speaker002:] oh really um-hum
[speaker001:] started broadcasting about a year ago and they've uh they play music that you just wouldn't hear on any other radio station more like a college it's more like a college station would play
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] which we don't have down here but uh it's just music by different groups it's you know things you wouldn't you wouldn't uh
[speaker002:] I see um-hum
[speaker001:] you wouldn't would never be exposed to
[speaker002:] is it music that um like you can understand the words to
[speaker001:] yeah most of it
[speaker002:] oh okay well the the thing that I hate really is music that um it just seems like instruments playing all at once to five different scores of music do you know what I mean like didn't seem like it was meant what
[speaker001:] yeah kind of noise it's noise
[speaker002:] yeah it's noise it just doesn't seem like it was supposed to be played at the same time together or that someone isn't tuned or whatever but um I have to admit I do love top forty and um although I don't watch MTV I do love that type of music but I feel like it's the best music that you can sing along to and dance and
[speaker001:] well yeah yeah
[speaker002:] and um I'm an aerobics freak so I just uh I love that type of music to do aerobics to and exercise and that sort of thing do you go out to listen to music a lot
[speaker001:] do I go out to listen to music well I go to school and work so I don't get too too many opportunities to uh go out and see a a live band although occasionally
[speaker002:] um-hum don't get much time um-hum
[speaker001:] I'll go downtown they have what they call Deep Ellum down here where a lot of local bands play and I've gone down there a few times
[speaker002:] um-hum do you play any sort of instrument oh
[speaker001:] no I'm musically destitute have no talents
[speaker002:] oh don't be silly I used to play the piano and I used to play the guitar but then when I moved out you don't get to take the piano with you and uh there's no guitar around so I decided just to turn on the radio and that'll be my musical entertainment from now on
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] but we don't get to go I love concerts if I could I would save my money and just go to concerts but obviously not only is they don't come around Rochester too often but um standing in line for hours on end doesn't really appeal to me either
[speaker001:] yeah yeah I used to go I when I first moved to Dallas several years ago I've gone to a few concerts but it just it just gets to be more of a hassle than it's worth yeah you get a lot of thirteen and fourteen year olds and it's just a crowd of little kids
[speaker002:] yeah exactly I know and then by the time you leave you end up like sitting in your car for an hour just to get out of the parking lot
[speaker001:] yeah we usually go down and there's a tower that they have downtown you go down have a couple of drinks and wait for traffic to go away
[speaker002:] do you have a good um stadium there or or
[speaker001:] it's it's an indoor arena
[speaker002:] oh right what's it called
[speaker001:] Reunion
[speaker002:] oh Reunion no that's not what I'm thinking of wasn't
[speaker001:] there's one there's the Bronco Bowl that's out in Fort Worth though
[speaker002:] I don't know what I'm thinking of
[speaker001:] Arlington Stadium
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] there's several big things down in down here most of the most of the concerts are out at uh Reunion Arena
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] and it's it's okay the the acoustics could be better but like I say I haven't been down there to a concert since
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] jeez I don't remember who I went to see last
[speaker002:] well now you have to like the Beatles and Billy Joel you know uh
[speaker001:] I like the Beatles some Billy Joel you know back in high school I guess I was a big Billy Joel fan but
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I've been
[speaker002:] sort of grown out of that
[speaker001:] well you know I listen to it but I won't go buy it
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I've I've like I've been exposed to so many new and different bands lately just through this new radio station that
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I realize there's just a lot of a lot of things I've I never would have heard or even thought of looking at or listening to
[speaker002:] like who are some of those bands what are they called
[speaker001:] and oh I'm trying to think of a good example one that won't get me into too much trouble
[speaker002:] who won't get you in too much trouble
[speaker001:] um yeah be a bad example but like for example the Violent Violent Femmes they've been around for a while and they've just started playing some new music of theirs and it made me go out and buy some and listen to it I won't say I like the whole album really but uh
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum um-hum well you know I was just reading the newspaper and um there's this big thing on Madonna's new movie Truth of Dare have you heard about that
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah I was reading an article about that yesterday
[speaker002:] and um well I haven't seen the movie but obviously it looks extremely risque and um they were just mentioning some figures that she's made like in the past year she made thirty nine million dollars and over the past couple of years it's totaled almost two hundred million dollars and I mean as much as I like top forty I don't like Madonna I don't like her and I don't like her music and um I just don't like anything about her actually
[speaker001:] the only thing I like about Madonna is I think if if I was given a ticket to see her perform I think she'd be entertaining to see perform
[speaker002:] um-hum probably yeah
[speaker001:] but I don't I don't really care for her music there's one or two songs that I like you know for a while until they overplayed them to death but uh I've never been a big Madonna fan
[speaker002:] um-hum right exactly um-hum
[speaker001:] but I do think if someone gave me a ticket it'd be a really entertaining show
[speaker002:] yeah that's true
[speaker001:] I wouldn't go stand in line or sleep overnight at the
[speaker002:] but I know oh God no but to think that she's able to make that much money
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] just think of I mean that is what our kids are growing up with right now you know that they that they were talking about how Madonna is becoming a role model for kids
[speaker001:] that's crazy
[speaker002:] and uh boy it's really scary I don't know but I guess I I still go back to the old faithfuls like James Taylor and if I could if I had my choice to sit and listen to um oh I don't know some new group of today or just uh put on a tape of I don't know Carly Simon or whatever that's probably what I would stick to although I do have uh an unending love for fifties music which you probably detest
[speaker001:] some no there's some my parents you know I used to listen to the stuff they listen to you know the Guess Who and what have you I've got some of that uh I don't I don't
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] I won't say I make tapes to listen to in my car but occasionally I put on LCD and crank it up because I you know stuff I grew up with
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum yeah
[speaker001:] listening to so
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I'm I've got pretty broad musical tastes I don't really care for gospel and I'm not a big country fan but
[speaker002:] me either
[speaker001:] other than that I'll listen to just about anything
[speaker002:] yeah do you have uh any sort of collection are you like uh you know do you go out and buy a bunch of CD's or tapes or
[speaker001:] yeah I've got some I've got I don't know about a hundred hundred and fifteen CD's I suppose
[speaker002:] do you really
[speaker001:] I just I've got a bunch of the albums but I never play them because CD's have taken over
[speaker002:] yeah exactly they really have we were talking about um how the only way to really destroy a CD is to drill a hole through it that you can microwave them and uh I don't know do whatever really it amazes yeah amazing
[speaker001:] yeah you can scratch them up pretty good they'll still play
[speaker002:] but well it was nice talking to you
[speaker001:] yes so go out and play in that sun
[speaker002:] yeah right and I'll go turn on my James Taylor tape or something all righty take care bye-bye
[speaker001:] all right  okay bye
