I’m in the Nashville area at a convention, and I’ll need some good driving songs for the trip back home. It’s been quite awhile since we did this, and we definitely need a lift after five solid weeks of the grief process, so reach into the annals and give us some suggestions, as we’ll need 927 miles of automotive inspiration. I’ve listed my favorites in chronologic order, but well need many more to go the distance. The songs don’t necessarily have to be about cars, they just need a suitable beat.
(1) Little Deuce Coupe – The Beach Boys, 1963
(2) Born to be Wild – Steppenwolf, 1968
(3) Me and Bobby McGee – Janice Joplin, 1971
(4) Stuck In the Middle With You – Stealers Wheels, 1973
(5) Six Days On the Road – Sawyer Brown, 1993
This is an open thread.

@15: Chuck has to do what Chuck has to do, Fredster. That’s what Chuck is all about. Chuck realizes he has issues..that’s why Chuck speaks in the third person about himself. 
Deal with it.

Hmmm…chuck seems to have an attitude. Perhaps some corrective action is called for.

Hmmm, dancing while driving – and my family doesn’t understand why I won’t go on a highway anymore. I know I’m going to die but why hurry the inevitable.
For fun chat

DYB- That makes me so wistful for Sophie’s wonderful Hillary video. It was so uplifting and optimistic- it makes me want to cry and scream at the same time.

Great listening DYB, thanks. Now that you’ve opened the Judy Garland pandora’s box:
