The show occasionally exceeds even my saccharine tolerance (tonight a caller said something like \"[my seven-month old son] is my blessing, and my two-year-old daughter is my miracle\"; I have no objection to feeling that way about one's children, certainly, but saying it aloud to a national radio audience seems going a bit far, and she said it in a way that set my teeth on edge) but much of the time, I like the songs.  What can I say, I'm a sap.<\/p>\n<p>While I'm admitting what I listen to on the radio, I may as well confess that I also listen to country stations sometimes.  Here's a particularly embarrassing example: Brad Paisley's \"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lyrics007.com\/Brad%20Paisley%20Lyrics\/P.S.%20This%20Is%20Austin%20Lyrics.html\">P.S. This Is Austin<\/a>\" came on this afternoon, and I actually cried.<\/p>\n<p>Usually when I'm traveling I find the local NPR station and listen to that while driving.  Somehow didn't come across it in a couple quick scans through the dial today, though, and didn't care enough to go look it up.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I admit it: I occasionally listen to Delilah.
