I listened to Childish Gambino today.

But... more importantly, I’ve challenged both ecib and mk to give me some travel tunes.

I am coming off the heels of my grandfathers funeral, in which my super talented cousin Samantha, sang a favorite song of my grandfather, John Denver’s “Today.”

Before you judge, listen. It’s beautiful.

Road trip album that is AMAZING: Guy Clark - Workbench Songs.

This is just brilliant music, played well, by a guy who has walked a long hard road.

Today was a lullaby sung by my wife's mother to my wife, and by my wife to my daughter. She calls it "the Strawberry song." It is a truly lovely tune.

Another heavy rotator is Pete Seeger's "Where have all the flowers gone."

Although to be honest it's probably Peter Paul & Mary's version that's being cribbed.

Where have all the flowers gone was a song in heavy rotation in our family too. Great memories, thank you for sharing

My road trip playlists lean towards stoner metal by day and swirlygoth by night.

Dude. Love Spirals Downwards on a freeway at night? That sounds like instant narcolepsy.

Love Spirals Downwards on a freeway at night is bliss. I don't think I've ever zoned out enough to hit anything.
