A big star came to mind.
Jonathan Strickland
The first one I think of is The Band. A lot of people know about The Band now, especially if you listen to Stuff on the B Side, because they talked about him all the time. The Band, that’s one of those groups that all these different musicians cite as a big influence on their music, but in general, you might say that their fame was mostly contained in the music industry. They had more success than just that, obviously, but it’s a good example.
I guess that wraps up the discussion on Pandora radio. Justin, thanks a lot for writing in. That was a fun one for us to talk about because we both really do like the website.
Chris Pollette
I’m sure that wasn’t clear.
Jonathan Strickland
Yeah. So rush out and make an account now. If any of you have any questions about websites, technology, that thing that’s making that weird noise in your computer – okay, not the last one – but if you have general questions about technology, computers, websites, that kind of thing, write us. Our email address is TechStuff@HowStuffWorks.com. Chris and I will talk to you again really soon.
