Hatin' Traffic

Greensboro, NC -- Back to the grindstone today. With an extra day off, the work has certainly piled up. With today being this week's Monday, have you ever noticed that the worst traffic of the week is always on a Tuesday? We hear all the time how people alter driving patterns to circumvent traffic. Monday is supposedly the worst day on the roads, while Fridays are the easiest. But I think Tuesdays are the worst because some people pull the I'll just work from home stunt when they see the roadways on Monday morning. Another example of this is the North Carolina DMV. Katie went to switch driver's licenses and license plates on a Friday. Expecting a glut of people taking a day off before the weekend, Katie prepared for the worst. However, it was quite the contrary. Most people, as told my the DMV clerk, complete their DMV errands at the beginning of the week, fearing that long lines gather at the end of the week. So, you can never be so sure when the traffic will hit you. Here are some traffic songs to help you through the mess:
  • Ozzy Osborne - "Crazy Train"
  • Elvis Costello - "Accidents Will Happen"
  • Drivin' N' Cryin' - "Fly Me Courageous"
  • Crazy Numan - "Cars"
  • U2 - "Running To Stand Still"
  • Dishwalla - "Counting Blue Cars"
  • The Jimi Hendrix Experience - "Crosstown Traffic"
  • 3 Doors Down - "When I'm Gone"
  • The Jam - "Town Called Malice"
  • The Cars - "Drive"
  • Talking Heads - "Road To Nowhere"
  • AC/DC - "Highway To Hell"
  • Crash Test Dummies - "Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm"

All of the above songs encompass a traffic theme to them. Got any of your own?

"Life is a highway" by Tom Cochrane

You may remember this hit from one Printer's Alley, where the buckets of beer were flowin' and the ceilings were growin' (full of bottle caps that is)
