I've always had a bizarre and keen interest in minimalist/repetitive music. Especially if it's played on acoustic instruments.
I remember seeing Einstein on the Beach premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music back in the early 80s and by the third act (about 90 mins in) Phillip Glass, its composer, was snoring loudly in the row behind me.
Go to http://wilcoworld.net/causes . I am listening to the Keyspan park show... Great band, great show...

"Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I've always believed this, in spite of the trouble it's caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba...." Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

Ahhh....just reminiscing. Here are some lyrics and the first one to identify the song, the original artist and original year it was written (without internet help) gets a beer from me.
Her young face was like that of an angel
Her long legs were tanned and brown
Better keep your eyes on the road, son
Better slow this vehicle down
Is it me or am I seeing double?

Great Spanish guitar band from the 60s.

I must be REALLY different. I'm listening to the Brahms Horn Trio.
Yes I'm classically inclined. While returning from a gig last summer (I'm a French Horn player) with my horn strapped on to the back on my 1105RT doing about 75 on the freeway when out of the blue I have a CHP motor in the lane left of me and another in the lane on the right of me. "I'm screwed" I think but get two thumbs up instead as they sped away. Think they might be classical music fans?
