Are you presuming that politically conservative folk cannot appreciated good music? If so, that is a rather snide and bigoted attitude. I am sure William F. Buckley Junyah appreciated good symphonic music.

Oh you get me wrong I am assuming that "challenging" new program is mostly unlistenable.
:lol: this is where we make fun of liberals right?


Do you also make fun of other cripples?

Sorry, but you're a LIBERAL!

"Conservatives" only listen to certain Nashville music (but they HATE the Dixie Chix, or any act that is overly sexy).

If you're going to listen to classical music, then you will have to tune into public radio, which "Conservatives" hate more than mainstream commercial channels.

You're just a fake conservative.

:roll:

Actually he sounds more like someone that needs to find better news sources, though if he likes those news sources, that's his business.

I also couldn't care less what music he listens to and if he likes the music written by the Dixie Chicks, could care less, I just think the Dixie Chicks are total morons when it comes to issues outside of their music videos.

Furthermore, reason Conservatives can't stand NPR has to do with the fact they are pushing their partisan views while receiving taxpayer money. If NPR was a privately funded entity like MSNBC, then we really wouldn't care care less, we would just choose not to listen to NPR.

You know you're a sniveling liberal when ...

... you're unaware that there are commercial classical music stations in most major U.S. cities.

I prefer a more allegro version. the one on my ipod is slightly more up-tempo than even this:

Also incredible:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OAXCy3YS54
turn it up!
movement 2 of a very nice string serenade (the rest of the movements are also easy to find):

The good thing about radio is that it can expose you to new artists, new versions, and new art.
This is only movements 2 and 3; 1 is wonderful, and you don't get to fully appreciate the full symphony, but this gives you an idea.

A Sniveling Liberal would find them, if available, but still prefer commercial-free classical music.

A Sniveling Liberal would also make use of the public library, and go to public museums.

PBS does often have some good music on TV, now that you mention it. Still, if you are in your car, public radio is the best. You can't watch TV in your car.
