A funny thing happened on the way to the office today….
As per my usual morning commute routine, I had my iPod/iTrip blaring on my Prince Playlist. I was rockin’ out as one does when they’re isolated with good Prince tunes.
Kiss comes on. Man I love that song. I’m “smooch smooch smooch smooch smooch KISS”-ing along a la Julia Roberts style, thoroughly enjoying the entire experience.
And then I noticed the four door sedan beside me that seemed to be speeding up and slowing down at whatever rate was necessary to stay EXACTLY beside me. The middle aged man driving the sedan appeared to be enjoying The Prince Experience as much as I was. In fact, he actually cracked the passenger side window - in order to enhance the sound effect it seemed.
There wasn’t anyone in the passenger’s side gasping for fresh air - I checked.
I felt like I should flash a “gotta love Prince….” sign at him.
Thank God we turned down separate roads before Darling Nikki came on.
Psst... thanks for stopping by! I hope I didn't traumatize you too badly on your first visit. Remember to subscribe to my RSS feed if you want updates from the site!

I didn’t think it was possible… but apparently a grown woman and mother of 2 can actually be more entertained by an iPod than a teenager.
This could rework the entire marketing structure for the Ipod.
there’s a “gotta love Prince” sign? who knew.
lmao! I agree with the Darling Nikki thing. I go into full-fledged animation when I hear that song!
hahaha. I’d have done the same thing as that guy.
Hee hee. I had a somewhat similar experience today (it will be in my post for tomorrow). A guy caught me rocking out to On The Radio.
I am a huge wuss when it comes to car rocking. As soon as I catch someone looking, I freeze.
Often, I drive around with my dog in the passenger seat, and you would be amazed at how many motorists will roll down their windows and make kissing noises at a comlete stranger’s dog. It never ceases to freak me out.
That happened to me once. Only I was asleep with my mouth open. The other car was honking and waving their arms frantically. Like they’ve never fallen asleep at the wheel before.
Amy: oh I am WAY more easily entertained than a teenager!
Tug: Pretty Woman. Bath tub scene.
Dawn: and the only animation to that song is a grind :-)
The Chad: were you in Iowa this morning?
Mr. Fabulous: I can picture you rollin’ like that LOL
Kelley: you should try it - it’s a blast!!
Mist: listen here woman. your comments are continually funnier than the actual posts!!!!
People probably think I’m cursing at them in traffic (well, sometimes I am) because I like angry music peppered with screaming and “Fuck this” and “Fuck that” and etc.
Oh, but I LOVE Prince, especially “Darling Nikki”. What was that? Purple Rain?
I need to get him on the iPod!
I love those little moments when you randomly connect with other drivers. My favorite is when I find myself in a line of cars merging off a cloverleaf. Sometimes we all do it so beautifully, just like a squadron of Blue Angels. I get excited, and want to tell all of the other cars “Okay, same time tomorrow, we do it again!”
I wish I could continue singing unabashedly once I knew someone was watching. I get seriously uncomfortable singing in the car when I get gawkers.
