Driving back from Spain recently we decided to change the CD :Cohen was in the player and we had listened to him non stop for 5 weeks or more since before Barcelona. We had a varied selection of CDs so I decided to play something totally different so I put in Beautiful South which I haven't listened to for years. After 2 tracks my husband said that he'd had enough and asked me to change it! It got stuck! and for an hour we tried getting it out; pushing all the buttons etc. Thankfully it finally came out; so the lesson is ..... our car CD only likes Cohen! What good taste!

I am writing projects for charity, try for one organization to receive from various charitable foundations, and always to me to play music... first something dance music, but just the best I worked to the music while Leonard .. it's just music that I perceive while I was a little "canceled" his lyrics, but I was incredibly inspired .. And then when I want to relax at home ... again read from the player LC ... I thought I was not normal, but as I read it here I am :razz:

Surely if your car had good taste it would spit out Beautiful South and Leonard would get stuck . It isnt VW Beetle called Herbie by any chance is it ?

Hi yorkshire Lad, I did think that at the time. Perhaps the car was a little fed up of Leonard it is only a Picasso after all so hardly a 'tastful 'car, but the way I saw it; and I'm possibly wrong! is that the car couldn't handle such mundane middle of the road music and froze! Or to put it another way F...ed up!
Anyway, I won't be playing it again!

This subject has got my weird imagination working overtime . I have been thinking if cars could pick a favourite L C song that best fits their performance you might get some interesting choices . Certainly some of the old bangers I have owned over the years would be justified in having " waiting for the miracle " as their anthem or even " That don't make it junk "
