If you’re not reading LawDog, you should.  He’s a great writer.  Here’s an example wherein he describes a trial lawyer:

Is your mother proud of this, or — as I suspect — did you spontaneously spawn as the gelatinous mass in the bottom of a used jock-strap bin, thus sparing any woman the utter humiliation of admitting that she failed to drown you as soon as she saw the cruel, debased and sadistic gleam in your porcine little eyes — you complete and utter vulture; you black-hearted, slime-trailing little invertebrate.

You need to get context so read the whole article.

Too much driving. Too much talking. Too much thinking.

The only blogworthy thought I came up with in the time I spent behind the wheel was of a musical bent. Am I missing something? In my teens there were several groups that specialized in instrumental music.

I have some favorites. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass were ubiquitous. Every few months they seemed to show up with a song on on the charts, catchy, impeccably played, and an almost guaranteed earworm. Here’s a YouTube of “Tijuana Taxi“. I was going to comment that the music was peppy and upbeat, and a lot of it was, but they also did “The Lonely Bull” and managed to get sad and plaintive…

Some of these tunes tied into popular culture.  Try this one, and see if you can come up with a TV show to go with it.  The name is “Whipped Cream.”  How appropriate is THAT?

The Ventures were another group. “Walk, Don’t Run” and “Wipeout” are two hits that pop into my mind…

Who fills that niche these days? Better yet, who fills that niche without synthesizers and sequencers and lip-synching? These guys actually PLAYED their instruments…
