Ah, BBB! As someone who grew up in, and has now moved back to, the other part of Minnesota (that is, everywhere not the Twin Cities), I was much amused by this entry. Ole and Lena, and Ole’s buddy Sven, have been staples in this part of the country for well over a century – my *grandmother* told Ole and Lena jokes, that she learned from *her* mother.

So, who’s this Ollie guy?

For those who enjoy unbelievable well done song parodies check out http://www.bobrivers.com under menu item “Twisted Tunes”
Bob Riveers has a morning show in Seattle Wa. Some of the songs defintely relate to local events, but most are universal and quite, well…twisted.

Sonny and Cher’s “I can’t ski, babe” was my introduction to his work, and I’ve been a fan since.

You know, another song on KDWBs parody list I’ve always loved is the “OCD Parody Song”. Sometimes, they really crack me up.

Coming from another MN area, Rochester, I’ll have to agree that all the local radio stations have their issues. We have a DJ who’s name is Sam Adams. Guessing that’s not her original name either. A couple years back my lovely wife got me a satellite radio, best investment we have made… Not only don’t I have to listen to commercials, on some channels. I get to listen to football whenever I want to, and listen to the games when we are taking weekend trips.

There is another parody of CA California Gurls, called Minnesota Gurls, up on youTube. Not as funny, but just goes to show that people will want to make everything about them.

As far as 93X, sure Shaver is great, but he’s about the only one I think isn’t a moron. Nick in particular is just a dumbass on a galactic scale. If he had an original thought, it’d go insane from terror at being all alone in such a stark, barren place. I can’t listen to that show at any time other than when it’s time for sports with Randy Shaver.

I don’t even like the music on 93X anymore. I gotta figure that there have been a few new songs, but if you listened to their playlist you’d think that the pinnacle of hardcore rock hit it’s peak in the mid 80s. There are only so many times I need to hear the same Nine Inch Nails, Limp Biscuit, Poison and Ozzy songs. Seriously, 20 year old songs? That’s the latest rock hits? Last time I tried to listen to them, and 4 out of 5 songs in a row were more than 20 years old. I don’t know about anyone else, but yes, classic songs are great, but if that’s your playlist, then go ahead and call yourself an oldies station.

Ah, the harsh wasteland of Minnesota radio stations.

I need to con Cassie into getting me Sirius satellite radio.

To add to Beefeater, the 93X morning crew seems pretty gamer-friendly. I tend to stick to The Current so I get music for my morning drive, but they’ve had Vikings punter Chris Kluwe as a guest multiple times, and he talks about playing WoW and Guitar Hero.
