Actually I did not know that. Thanks for the info.
Here is an even better idea. I will make you a mix of songs for the home commute. Give me a hint what you like and I will spice it up a little. It will be really funny picturing a hard core conservative bombing down the highway listening to music from a hopeless liberal.
Here are a few, right off the bat.

Here is a funny kicker about Jason & The Scorchers. Their last record was self produced because they were never any big money maker in a dying industry. I read a nice review in the NY Times and ordered it. It showed up on my credit card from Warren Hodges on his Paypal account.. That was pretty cool paying the artist directly. From Warren: ""Keep it rockin." From Jason: "Half circles, full turths." Now how cool is that?
