The station that best suits my personality would have to be "The rock of St." The station that gets me through my workday and makes those long drives feel a little shorter. A great sound for getting you into that parting mood. A portal into the feelings and emotions of hundreds of great artists with a turn of a dial.
I myself hate silence, that horrid emptiness that makes a minute seem like an hour on those long road trips I take alone to visit friends who moved away and on those work days that seen to never end. That agony is quickly extinguished with a touch of a button and a twist of a dial. As the familiar sounds of Ozzy's Crazy Train fills my ears I"m where I want to be no matter what the situation. I get sent into a trance by the bass lines and the guitar solos. Before I know it my foot is tapping to the beat of the music on my brake pedal at stop lights or I"m singing out loud as I spin wrenches at work (embarrassing myself in front of my co-workers.) .
Sometimes when I"m getting ready to go out I just don't feel motivated. Maybe because I"m tired or there is something else on my mind but I know as soon as I start my car my favorite rock station will be at my side. Sure enough all my prior worries disintegrate and my eyes or wide open looking for a party. When I find all my friends and open my first beer its like I"m a new man ready for a long night of drinking and being stupid. After a while when all the .
light-weights get tired and go home and the remaining partiers mellow out .

George Thorogood comes on the radio with one of his well-known songs giving us all new strength. "Time to hit the bars", some one says and we all agree. If I walk into my home bar and they are playing some other crap on the radio I quickly say to the bartender "look man, come down here" he got down there and said "so watchya want" I say "turn that dial to KSHE because it's time to drink and have a good time and get me one Burbon, one Scotch, and one beer.
