Friday's an all-driving set for the holiday weekend.  Was sounding good until JT's damn traffic jam.

Holy sh!t!  The J-Starship's "Cruisin'," the lead track from Spitfire!  Gotta be an ATBB.

Of course, I wanna say that *somebody* (Ginger?) played it once. But hooray for 2 JS rarities in a row, after Rob played on love yesterday.

Lemme guess: Sammy Hagar couldn't driive 55 somewhere in this set.

BTW,  I just happened to notice that the "now playing" ticker on the Drive's website says they're playing "Shine" by Corrective Soles -- I didn't realize they had made the leap to adding '90s titles to their library.

You got it.  Actually kind of a fun song, if the dumbest of dumb fun.
