My new favorite addiction

I have recently discovered an internet music service called PANDORA.
The premise is that if you give them an hour, it's like they're in your head when it comes to music that gets played.
One of my great loves musically is old school country, artists like Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, George Jones, June Carter Cash, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, and of course, Patsy Cline.
I went into this with something of a skeptical mindset, I admit. I started the service with a request for Patsy Cline, so that's how the "station" got named... (yeah, I could rename it but I like calling it Patsy Cline Radio).
So far, I've only had one instance of a song I didn't "like" ... wasn't the artist (Ricky Van Shelton) but I just wasn't in the mood for the song (Life Turned Her That Way) - one click and it moved on to the next selection. AND this station/service plays the Dixie Chicks. (That's a subject for another rant.)
Anyway, one song out of the entire experience? I'm impressed.
Try it, you'll love it.
