I’m always scared to tell about good things for the fear that they will be gone.  I tempted fate in March of last year by bragging how I had free XM radio in my car.  At that point, I had been enjoying 6 months of free XM radio.  Surely, I wouldn’t be so stupid to post something like that again and tempt the powers of XM…

I’m about to start month 26 of my 3 month trial of XM radio.  I have tried to not become accustomed to it because eventually they’ll flip the switch and I’ll have static.  But I can’t help it.  There’s just so much good music and comedy I’ve always got it on.  Heck, I don’t think that I’ve listened to my CD’s or Zune in the car for several months.

A few months ago, I discovered what might just be my favorite music channel.  The coffee house provides acoustic versions of songs from singers, songwriters, and even some acoustic covers of famous songs.  Granted, some stuff is boring, but for the most part, it’s an amazing listening experience.  About a week ago, I heard Adam Rafferty do an acoustic rendition of Stevie Wonder’s Superstition.  It’s a stunning version of one of my favorite songs. (The googles helped me find a clip on you tube that I’ve added at the bottom of the post.)

So, what’s the bottom line?  XM radio is some of the best money that I’ve never spent. If you ever get the chance to not pay for XM, I highly recommend that you choose to…not…pay. Otherwise, I suppose that you would be stuck where you are now which is to be not….paying…um….for not…listening. Ah, crap. Just watch the video.
