travelin tunes

now, traveling isn't exactly something i'm opposed to. getting my kicks on route...um, whatever...is something i enjoy just as much as the next person. but when my tunes conked out this trip, it really peeved me. like, all the sudden i went from cruising with complete control and autonomy to all of the sudden basting in the hot sun, squirming in an uncomfortable seat, and paying close attention to the mile markers. what is it about the sounds that make the ride that much more enjoyable? whose bright idea was it to put the first 8-track player in the car? kudos...seriously. whether it's the radio, with it's overcommercialized hip hop music, jazz fm, or classical, something hits to make that ride oh so smoove. here's to travelin tunes, and here's to getting mine fixed up just right.
