Bridge-crossing music
Written at: 10:52 03 Feb, 2005
I've been trying to find different ways to walk to work in an effort to get more steps, and today I took one of the more out-of-the-way routes, across the Ross Island bridge.
Walking more is good, but over the course of four miles, my brain needs to find ways to occupy itself. Unfortunately, today it chose to do so by endlessly repeating "Can't Fight This Feeling" by — sigh — REO Speedwagon.
At first, it was amusing to change lines like "You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night" into "You're a candle in the wind, oh, just like Marilyn and Di", but really, there's only so many times a man can sing — to himself or occasionally at full volume, if the traffic was loud — "It's time to bring this ship into the shore and throw away the oars, forever". What kind of ship is this guy piloting, anyhow? A Viking skiff?
