And so, yet again, I find myself wanting to seriously give somebody a 
piece of my mind.

The trouble is, I know it won't do any good.

But I just feel so *angry*! I want to make these people see just how 
wrong they are.

But I *still* know it's no good.

But I'm *still* really angry... What's a guy to do?

I know the feeling.  Been in *exactly* that position for the last couple 
of weeks.

As you're driving home, have a good yell in the car.  I find that helps.

True story: I no longer listen to The Prodigy while driving. This has 
decreased the number of speeding tickets by a significant percentage...

I've given up Pink Floyd and Gary Moore while driving - never since 
missed the green light...

Uh, yeah... listening to One Of These Days while driving... not 
sensible. ;-)

Listening to murder mysteries helps, too. :-)

Gah. *shivers*

Now I get to have the image of Bob Geldof with slit wrists floating in a 
swimming pool full of his own blood. Just as I go to bed. Thank you *so 
much* for that. :-S

Intent this evening..... ;-)

Luckily I'm too tired and lazy to get up without getting to bed. 
Otherwise it would take an hour or two after reading that comment...

Neither do I.
I didn't keep more my cassettes but it was because they  always 
metamorphosed into best of Queen.

My car stereo frequently refuses to play my Beach Boys Greatest Hits CD.

It's as if it's trying to tell me I have bad taste...

Well who *else* is gonna tell me? My dad?

(Actually, he listens to far newer music than I do. Hmm, that's pretty 
wrong...)

Good omens...
Dick Gently makes me only think at the end of a phrase that I won't complete 
here :-)

Nothing wrong with that. I´ve had tapes with that problem... and worse.

Think Another One Bites The Dust and driving... at the same time.

Sorry, I misremembered, I meant of course Dirk. And yes, when I tried to 
find his original name and simply entered those two words I got exactly 
what you hinted at :( Interestingly I could not find the answer (Svlad 
Cjelli) using google. I had to go downstairs to fetch my copy of 'the 
long dark tea-time of then soul' and do a vgrep.

I can't comment as I'm stuck in the 17th and 18th century as far as music goes.
