Driving music

[nnewell]

Thirty something years ago I remember driving down the freeway at night in my
'67 Camero convertible. It was a warm summer night, I had the top up but all the windows open and was listening to deep Purple "Machine head " when the
8-track ate the tape. It was the third tape that week that got eaten. I was so mad
I ripped the tape out of the deck and threw it out the window.
It was dark and I was doing about 60 MPH a few minutes later after I cooled off
I noticed I had this tape strung across my chest , the tape was still stuck in the deck and had unwound and the tape case was bouncing along about fifty feet
behind the car. Must have looked funny to the car following me.

I sure don't miss 8 tracks.
