re: not listening to music on long trips...

My fiancée thinks I am crazy for doing this. I'm not a performer, but music is still my "job" (teaching kollij music theory). It's nice to sit in silence and just reflect and zone out in your own thoughts. Sometimes I'll listen to a podcast or something, but listening to music—especially "serious" music—is not something I typically like to spend car rides doing.

yeah...and (shh...Please don't tell the site owner that I made any references to it!) the political "talk radio" crap (whether "public"-radio-commie-blather, or consarvuteeuhv-publicunz-blather) is even more tedious than listening to music on the radio.

I did turn the radio on several times, but turned it right back off:
- pop (nope)
- hip-hop (nope)
- country (nope)
- alternative rock (nope)
- conservative talk (nope)
- commie talk (nope)
- religious talk (nope)
- classical (nope...not even if the classical music dj's had good taste)
- sports talk (absolutely nope)
- local access (people reading the newspaper, etc...nope)
- ¡Ay, Chihuahua! (nope)

...so which commonly-encountered formats did I overlook...??

Maybe books on tape would be for you in the future. Although you seem to use the time wisely by figuring out a repair problem or two.

Classic Rock.

Hit Parade.
