Mondays

Presented by The Monday Music Mambo
1. Name a song or two about cars or driving.
"Go For A Ride" by Uncle Six, a band from Cincinnati.
"Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5, one of my favorite songs ever.
"Mustang Sally" by Credence Clearwater or anyone else really.

2. Name a song that's good to listen to when driving.
"Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield is a favorite of mine.
"Mambo Italiano" is a great song to sing and dance to when no one is in the car to see.
"Put Your Records On" by Corrine Bailey Rae is also a great song.

3. Name an album that's good to listen to when driving.
"One Night Only" by Elton John got me through most of Pennsylvania when I was living there, and that's saying something when you think about the Pennsylvania turnpike.
"No Quarter" by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant is a longstanding favorite.
Almost any album by Dave Matthews Band including "Crash" "Under the Table and Dreaming" and "Busted Stuff" are fantastic too.

4. If you could drive the car of one musician, whose car would you choose?
I don't really know who's got the best cars. Here are my requirements for a car: First, stick shift is mandatory. Second, convertibles are only allowed in places where the temperature does not drop below 50* (read: Florida, California and Hawaii). Third: SUVs are not allowed as they take up more gas than any human being needs. Trucks are not allowed outside of Kentucky where they are the state vehicle. Fourth: I require a fun road to travel on, preferably something in the mountains or the hills of Appalachia because those are the most fun places I know that don't give me a fear of heights. Hmmm. What famous musicians live in Kentucky? I bet they have fun cars.

Finally, as a special treat for several of you who know one of the best movies ever, a great quote from Overheard in the office:

Check it out here or:
11AM And Fourth, If You Ever Incorrectly Cite That Movie Again, You're Fired

Guy in jeans and flip flops walks into office at 11 a.m. and high-fives two employees on the way.

Newbie in suit: Dude, he's totally pulling an Office Space. We better watch him -- he might set the building on fire. Or start gutting fish at his desk.
Cube dweller: Okay, first of all, that was Milton who set the building on fire, not Peter Gibbons. Second, it's Casual Friday, which is probably why he's dressed like that. And third, he doesn't work here.
