Chinese dolls, box in boxes

I have a playlist on my iPod called Drive, which contains 547 of my favorite songs. Usually when I go on long road trips, I turn this playlist on shuffle and enjoy the ride. Because the playlist has so many songs, I never know what's coming; I just know that I will love every song that pops up.

On my drive home from Indianapolis last night, my iPod was in top form. As I sang along to every word on the three hour drive, I thought about what a great sampling of my musical tastes was being represented in my little black Beetle.
