(Thunderbolt and) Gordon Lightfoot
Did I really not post anything at all in January? Well, it's hard to imagine anyone chomping at the bit to read what I have to say...I still maintain that I'm writing this stuff for my kids to read after I'm gone or something like that.
In October I posted my audioscrobbler link so you can eavesdrop on what I listen to at EAR/Rational world headquarters. I just checked it and sure enough it's tallying the songs I'm listening to by The Lime Spiders as I write this. Why The Lime Spiders never took over the world is beyond me...
Anyhoo, there's a commercial on TV for BMW, where a guy is driving alone and singing along to his stereo which is playing "The Wheels on the Bus" (if you have kids then you know this song for sure). All of a sudden the music stops and a woman starts talking to him, telling him that his car is due for service. He says something like "How did you know that?" and she says "Your car told me." He looks at his stereo, then says "Did the car tell you anything else?" (That's from memory, but it's close enough...oh, I found the ad, it's here).
A rather long-winded way of saying my car does not transmit to audioscrobbler, and that's no doubt a good thing. But I'll let the cat out of the bag and admit that I know all the words to "Carefree Highway" and was listening to it several times in my car today. And if you got the "Thunderbolt" reference, then you're probably not a spring chicken...
