[@MichaelTurner856]

Try a classic rock station or an alt rock station or a hard rock station or an indie/NPR music station if you have one. We have all of those where I'm from and they play really good music. The alt and indie station also play alternative pop and a little bit of everything but I like that stuff and listening to lots of genres in general + lots of Alt and lots indie pop has rock elements or is guitar based along with obviously the indie rock they play. sorry if I'm rambling on (pun intended) but based on my experiences that's not true

The crucifix was said to be worth $170,000 and was cleaned and returned, I think it's wild that something that valuable is A. small enough to fit into and B. the person that stole it decided the best place to hide it was in the pipes of that house."
