Radio and TV in the US

I have been in Seattle for slightly more than 2 months and felt it was my stayright to comment on the TV shows and the Radio here ( well of course discounted for HOTEL TV and Free Radio Channels)
Radio : Its nothing other than Country and Hip Hop.
Country : Apart from some good ones , its always someone singing out an essay like...
" I woke up one day and went out... went to the grocers ..." Anyone could write a country song and get away with it. If you write it in India .. its also a country... why is it so American ??

Hip Hop : mumble some words together in a way than only a very few can understand and others wrack their brains to undertstand it and buy the music.. which means if you write songs in Swahili .. you are going to be a millionaire...!!!

And TV shows : other than reruns ( which is 90% of the time) you have soaps and non soaps... and there are also channels where people just shout out loud and are actually watched for it. Imagine a person doing nothing but shouting about companies and their stock and it is a primetime show.

Well thats all I have to say about TV and Radio ...

The Pike Place Fish Market

One of the More prominent landmarks of Seattle and one of the oldest markets ... The Pike Place fish market , more known for the book FISH! . The picture here is that of the store that inspired the book.

The World Famous Pike Place Fish Market 

Nice place where the guys in Orange call out to the customers and toss the fish/seafood around and something going on there all the time.

Of football , Rugby and Soccer

I never knew Football was different from Soccer till about a month ago. I atleast called it American Football.... but again it was assumed that American football was like Rugby with a lot of safety gear.
But then ... Enlightenment Happened....
Looks like American Football is so very different from Rugby in so many cases and no idea which is better or worse , I think it is more like comparing Apples and Oranges and that thoo when you come from a country which does not play Rugby or American football and calls soccer football. More like the Rest of europe...

But then the rose bowl is coming up and it looks like the equivalent of the Ashes and looks good , but as in all American sports , has a lot of fanfare and packaging to it.

Lets see , one more day to go and I will know what is meant by American football history.

Fiddler on the Roof - The Movie

Saw Fiddler on the roof ,
The movie was good , and the music score was excellent. On the story though ... I saw it more as a person , A father questioning his faith and also something like above all there is love and that is the decider. The scenes / parts where he decides for his daughters based on what they like instead of what the society expects his to do is very good and is the father supposed to be the fiddler on his roof trying to do what is good for his family and keeping them happy whatever it takes for him to keep them happy?

I saw it as more of interpreting one's faith than just a musical... Is this what it is meant to be ? I know its pretty late to ask this question but stilll...
