The Lionel Richie drive-by

I don’t know what I did or how it came to this. I have no explanation for what I’m about to write.

I’ve been using Slacker internet radio for a few months and like it a lot. But I’m starting to wonder if Nicole Richie is the DJ behind the scenes. No matter what channel I’m listening to, a random Richie song will play a couple of times a day.

I’ll be jamming out to the classic rock channel and enjoying some Boston or Pink Floyd and suddenly “Dancing on the Ceiling” will come on and shock my musical tastes to the core.

Maybe I accidentally tagged Lionel Richie as a favorite but I’m not sure what would possess me to do that. Maybe one of my coworkers is playing a trick on me which wouldn’t surprised me because a while back I forgot to lock down my computer only to return to my browser homepage set to this famously bad site.

I don’t hate Lionel Richie. He reminds of my days in 7th and 8th grade. But listening to one of his songs after a Zep tune is like drinking milk right after brushing your teeth. It doesn’t go down smooth.
