cheap trick live at budokan: distraction or epiphany?


How many of you commute to work for any significant length of time? Long enough to listen to at least one track from your iPod/MP3 player? Then I'll go ahead and put in this simple recommendation: any track from Cheap Trick's Live at Budokan will be guaranteed to set you into flashback mode and make you totally forget what exit it is you are supposed to take off I-66.

For example: this happened to me, I'll just go ahead and admit it and get it out there...I do this monotonous I-66 trek from 110 at the Pentagon to Rt 28 Northbound at Centreville. Takes about 30-40 minutes, depending...anyway: I was rockin' my flashback to 1979 so hard I found that I zipped right by my turnoff.....oh well, it was fun and I learned that the next exit to take wasn't so far away.

Cheap Trick: antidote to driving attention, or just dang awesome rock-n-roll?

Cheap Trick was the first "big name" rock band I saw live--in 79 or 80. I still have the tee-shirt.
