Sandy's last post got me thinking about those moments when a song hits you at the right time. The example that came to mind is such a beat-you-over-the-head coincidence that I hesitate to mention it. I was driving in a rental car on the Northern State Parkway ('cause the LIE's for suckers) while on a business trip last September. I asked for a car with satellite radio, something I've become dependent on for long road trips. The Hertz in Greensboro had two options that morning that would meet my request: a minivan or a new Mustang. I cringed at both because the minivan was a minivan and the Mustang said M-U-S-T-A-N-G in big letters on both sides AND had one of those over-sized spoilers in the back. I opted for the second option because at least I'd blend in with the scenery while driving through certain parts of Jersey. By the time this song came on, 10 hours into the trip, I was almost too delirious to notice that Craig Finn was singing about riding in a girl's "rented" Mustang that had satellite radio. Coincidences aside, I think this is a great song and a pretty decent performance too.
