Dear Average American...
Dear Average American who listens to the radio while driving... I feel truly sorry for you! I just drove a 10' Uhaul truck 325 miles across northern Oregon and listened to the radio the entire way. Uhauls do not come with cd players, so that was my only option! I should have realized when I heard a rare Alice in Chains classic as the first song on the first station to come through in the morning that the rest of the drive would be fruitless. In my experience, the radio offers one or the other: a great song to start or a great song to finish. Everything in between is generally garbage! All the predictable songs came through and NOTHING else! In other words, I heard 'Radar Love', 'Don't Stop Believin' and 'Give A Little Bit' as well as the other recycled, obvious and obligatory garbage. The American radio system is like Amtrak... a hell of an idea with a lot of potential, but maddeningly insufficient!

Nice Bertram. You gotta love the Chains. I feel your pain sir. I either listen to CD's or Non fiction audio books that way I feel like I am getting smarter while driving. Comedy CD's also work well especially when stuck in traffic because you will be laughing while everybody else around you is pissed.
No doubt! In my car, I do the same thing. Moving is one thing, but moving without tunes is really something else!
