Life is a Highway

So I just wanted to do a quick post on the sounds of the road. We brought our iPod, ready to listen to it on the whole trip, but we've barely broken in out in the last two weeks. Why, you ask? Because we forgot how good radio can be.

The rule of the Hobbs car is always, whoever drives, controls the radio.

So that means, when I drive, we're listening to country. When he drives, we're listening to rap.

But sometimes we do agree on music, like Bryan Adams, or 80s songs, or classic rock or Lionel Richie. And NPR. We've listened to a lot of NPR while we drive...who doesn't love All Things Considered?

We've also noticed that the same 3 songs are always on the radio, no matter what state we're in:
1) Because of You by Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire
2) The Heart of Rock and Roll by Huey Lewis
3) Power of Love by Huey Lewis

The lesson learned on the road: I guess people of all races, cultures, creeds and states love Huey Lewis.

I must be normal then...because I love Huey Lewis! We totally just missed you in Atlanta (not that I knew you were going to be there). Lou and I were visiting Ricki and Kyle and we got home Wednesday night! I can't believe your trip is almost over! I can't wait to see you guys! I'm so glad you're having so much fun!!

I heart NPR.

We have the same radio rules in my household as well except ours goes kinda like this:

When DH drives, we listen to complaint rock (i.e., Coldplay).

When I drive, we listen to hip hop (dance rap, R&B).

But during times of extreme duress and the kids just refuse to be good in the backseat, we put on the CD of High School Musical.

Sing it with me: "We're all in this together... (clap!)"
