According to Sirius: Relive the musical revolution of the '60s and early '70sDriving Circumstances: A little bit different today. I had to be down at Toyota University for their "Lean Thinking" training, which teaches Toyota's marketing partners about "The Toyota Way" and their approach to eliminating the unnecessary and continual improving how they work. Very useful...and a much longer drive than I normally undertake. Plus, I didn't get to write this blog during lunch (as I normally do), so I continued to listen to '60s Vibrations while driving to the gym, and heading back home.
My Experience: Strange as it may seem, this is the music that I listened to in junior high and high school. I used to LOVE to rock out to the oldies. The Beach Boys were one of my favorite groups, and I loved the sound of Motown. So, I didn't approach today with any hesitation at all. I was familiar with most of the songs that I heard, with hits by The Beatles, Gladys Knight (and the Pips, of course) and The Rolling Stones...I even tagged one of my favorites to listen to later (The Wanderer, by Dion).
Sample Playlist
- Gladys Knight and the Pips, I Heard it Through the Grapevine
- The Byrds, Mr. Tambourine Man - 1962
- Rolling Stones, Ruby Tuesday
- The Beatles, We Can Work it Out
- The Rascals, Groovin' - 1967
- Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Nowhere to Run - 1965
time I did this experiment). That having been said, I discovered that '60s Vibrations has "Motown Mondays," where they play two Motown songs at the top and bottom of every hour, as well as "Surf's Up!" at 6pm (PST) each day, where they play a block of great beach music during my drive home...so I may have to pay more regular attention down the road.

i know you're getting tired of my little suggestions. bear with me. i'm heavily medicated.
i stumbled on something the other day and it made me think. sure it helps to know about the music you may tune in a little more down the road. but what about when the road comes to bitter jimmy dean kind of end?
i was listening to the 'beyond the valley of the dolls' soundtrack, and i decided that was the album i was going to play on repeat when i hang myself. on the tv, the only obvious choice: extreme home makeover.
Which makes me wonder...which is more dangerous:
1) Drinking and driving
2) Drinking and blogging
Define "heavily medicated" for the home viewers, Ry-Guy.
