Just heard an ad for "Pure Moods" on AirAmerica. Featuring the soothing sounds of Yanni, Jim Brickman, and more.

I want to support the AA advertisers, but what do they want from me? Blood?

2. Nah, just your money...
...I was surprised to find Sarah McLachlan lumped in together with the rest of them, although her most recent soporific releases might account for that.

3. If this were a PBS station...
I would assume it was a fund drive, and that someone would have to donate money else they would keep playing Yanni.

"Donate now! Stop the torture!"

12. In that case, please support AirAmerica,
and buy a "pure moods" CD for me. Then you can keep it. :hi:

5. I went through my Jim Brickman phase. And then I got out of it.
The music is boring...but he is eye candy, that's for sure.

6. Next it will be Zanfir and his pan flute...
I always lumped all of that stuff together. I cannot relate how someone would actually pay money for it, I must say.

7. If John Kerry ever hosts an event in which Yanni is present
either in person or through his "music," I will vote for George W. Bush.

I can't say I have much use for Bush, but Yanni is a crime against humanity.

8. Playing a little Piano myself and knowing a
...really great classical pianist I have to interject that
Yanni's sheet music looks like "Basic Piano Chords- Volume 0ne"
He may appeal to some folks but frankly, He doesn't do very much.

9. Funny story.
I have this uncle who's a total righty c**t. He lives out in Livingston, which is deep in the East Texas pine forests. He hides his money somewhere secret on his property to avoid taxes and banks, has a haircut that hasn't changed since the late '70s, is a total country redneck and a horrible racist, and speaks with 75% expletives. So you can imagine my surprise when he came to Houston soely to see...Yanni. I mean...Yanni. Yanni? Isn't that kind of...you know...iffy?
