That's not surprising, especially here in Southern California, the top three arbitron rated radio stations in the greater LA area are Spanish language stations. :roll:

At the risk of being ostracized and permanently banned, I will admit I will buy tickets for Jimmy's concerts for the sole purpose of reselling them at a profit. In recent years I have found his shows to be boring and predictable productions and have no desire to pay to see one. But he remains wildly...

San Diego is a GREATcity! For you beach time I eould strongly suggest SoCal because down here you can pretty much count on the weather being nice, farther North that's not the case. Maybe fly into San Diego, rent a car and work your way up to LA then take the train to San Francisco? I am currently t...

exactly...it may be fancy but it's discontinued...so if something goes wrong you'll have to "upgrade", i.e. pay more. I had music on my old phone and never used it. To me it is a waste. The only time I use my iPod with headphones is on a plane... and you can't have your phone on while fly...
