2. At least you were not listening to the shitty Canadian "band" named Rush.

That would have been worth six points against your license, and possibly a suspension!!

3. You know what's worse

Than a speeding ticket while listening to Rush?

Waking up multiple times in the middle of the night with a Rush earworm for like a week


I just went through that hell

Every time it was "Today's Tom Sawyer...blah blah blah"

4. Well, it could have been worse,

it could have been Mr. Roboto.

5. Yacht Rock

There is a whole genre of this stuff that I didn't know about until some young hipsters at a little pizza place had it rocking on the satellite radio. There is a dumb online series of videos on it, but I find the genre of the music itself rather funny. Basically a bunch of older, rich rockers buying yachts and then writing songs about sailing and such.


"Yacht rock" is a pejorative name[6][7] used retrospectively to refer to the soft rock format that peaked in popularity between the years of 1975 and 1984. In part, the term relates to the stereotype of the yuppie yacht owner, enjoying smooth music while out for a sail. Additionally, since sailing was a popular leisure activity in Southern California, many "yacht rockers" made nautical references in their lyrics, videos, and album artwork, particularly the anthemic track "Sailing" by Christopher Cross. Notable artists also include Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan and Toto.[8]
