The Highway
August 15, 2000
After longer than expected computer tweaking, unexpected paperwork, and unscheduled vine thrashing, the car is loaded. The project from midnight to 2 was getting the CD player ready to go.
In addition to my normal road music (Eno, Miles Davis, Luscious Jackson, 90's techno, some alt rock), I've selected some tunes in honor of my home state -- Joe Ely, Stevie Ray and others.
And to recall the days of yore at UT Austin with the Nola-meister, and the other days of yore at Gimungous Corp with my friends in Boston, I have some early modern rock, Talking Heads and Elvis Costello.
I have over 100 hours of music for the road, and the song to start the trip is loaded and ready to go. An admonition from New Orleans triggered the selection. It's time to get my motor running.
