i fully agree. the best way to test this theory is to play, i dunno, mandell or
something in the car and see how your friends react.
quotes in my car:
"what is this shit?"
"please turn it off?"
"can we listen to something else??"
"your order comes to $5.16"
whoops, that last one was at mcdonalds. anyway, you get what i mean.
i try hard to get people to listen, i really do. it just doesn't work. i've had
very favorable reactions towards track 12 off the new marumari cd, though.
that and iambic 5 poetry always get a good response.
