Dancing about driving in circles

Writ­ing about music is like danc­ing about architecture.

I’m not sure who orig­i­nally said this — I first heard it attrib­uted to Elvis Costello, but I’ve heard many oth­ers given credit for it in the years since.

My co-worker is cur­rently lis­ten­ing to a Nascar race. On the radio.

If any­thing could ever be more excit­ing than watch­ing guys drive in cir­cles, it’s lis­ten­ing to some other guys describe those guys dri­ving in circles.

It’s kind of like read­ing an ama­teur screen­play based on a War And Peace–length novel about paint drying.

    Don’t feel bad–I just watched a pro­gram on trac­tor pulls on the His­tory chan­nel. How this was his­tor­i­cal, or why I was watch­ing it in the first place, I do not know.

    Aha! The wish list icon is up! Good show. I found it, though, through a search on Ama­zon for your name.

    I feel the same way about golf, Tiger Woods be damned.
