Ok, my complaint.  Why when they have a country song that they want to cross-over to pop do they have to make an "adult contemporary" version...example..."Landslide" by the Dixie Chicks...they took out the country sounding instruments and it's all instrumental(elevatorish) on the pop stations.  They did the same to a Shania song or 2 a few years back.

Ummm dude,I hate to tell you this but if the Dixie Chicks did Landslide then they remade that song.

 

It was originally done by Stevie Nicks though I don't remember if she was with Fleetwood Mac at the time and Smashing Pumpkins remade it several years ago.

"They" are the musicians and producers.

It's all about the mighty buck.

Y2K, I know Stevie Nicks did it originally...my beef was just that the record industry folks take the music and strip it down before it goes to another audience other than the original target.

Shania's new cd is a double cd. One cd is has a country edge and their is another cd with exactly the same songs with a rock edge. The liner notes say it is for whatever mood you are in when you listen.

Ahhh I see what you're saying.

 

Well,about the only explanation for it is that if the music industry is going to take the time to release a song targeting a certain style of music then they are going to make sure the people that want to listen to that particular style will like it.It wouldn't make much sense for them to do it any other way.

Yes!!!

Wait a second, do I have to agree w/ paco on something :cheers:

 

 

Personally I don't mind country and pop as much as I loathe Rap

Right on, brother!!  :cheers:

They need a station (maybe on XM in the future) called GM Trucks Rock:  Nothing but the best rock from the 70s, 80s and 90s, along with some new rock.  :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

Oh, and the name has a double meaning as well....just noticed that!

 

By the way, we need a head-banger smiley!

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.
