Hey, lots of parenting advice on this thread. People tend to ignore mine because it involves chloroform, duct tape, and rum.

When I'm picking up the hookers I intend to murder it's an "outing", not a road trip. Therefore I don't care what music they have. It's only a road trip when I'm going to the secret place(s) where I dispose of the bodies. That's when I ask the hitchhikers whether then have Meat Loaf.

Radio advertising is why I never listen to the radio, Miller. It makes me want to drive off a bridge. Well, radio advertising and Top 40. iPod, FTW.

CVB is totally sweet. I saw them play at the Bowery Ballroom last winter, and they were a lot of fun live. I should see whether I can find my old copy of MBRS at my parents' house, and if not, buy it again.

I love Zeppelin, and I couldn't care less if that hurts my hipster street cred (not that I ever had any or wanted any). jondavid is right about Bonham's awesomeness. Zeppelin has a shit ton of kick ass songs, and was (and still is) a game changer. You don't have to like the band or listen to it, but it's hard to…

I have also listened to Nebraska while driving across Nebraska, and it's good road music. Springsteen has a lot of good driving music. Born to Run also comes to mind.

Keen, is a good call, as is Radar Love, but it's not a road trip until you listen to Bat Out of Hell by Meat Loaf.

Seriously?
I can't believe no one has gotten the right answer yet.

So you missed "thesp", which I can only assume is short for "thespian". Fuck you, Variety.

Hey, look, a Bill Hicks reference.

"Richard, do I have a mark on my face? It really hurts. . . .Right here. Not here or here so much. Right here."

Nice one, vladdrak.

The Amendment I'm particularly fond of is the Third. You're not housing any soldiers in my home without my consent goddamit!

I was only able to get to the end of Atlas Shrugged by skipping the awful John Galt radio speech. Fortunately, that cut down reading time significantly because it's about 1/3 of the book.

I think the second sentence in that comment answers your question, Frito.

A child-rearing mulligan? I like the way you think.

Thanks a lot, UR, as I was gagging at Mongo's comment, you made me laugh. You know how hard it is to laugh and gag at the same time?

No shit, hot dogs, that's just ridiculous. On the long list of things that are ruining modern Western society, I think the 24 hour "news" station deserves a prominent place. Fuck you, Ted Turner (but only for starting CNN; I'm actually a big fan, especially of your America's Cup run).

Oh, shit, I provoked a direct response, which also made no sense.

You forgot San Francisco.
