This track is really nice. Sure it’s about a guy driving around freeways chatting up some prostitutes. I was surprised that this was almost not on candy-o also… it’s so catchy.
this actually reminds me of steely dan thematically- some aging no longer joe cool trying to talk himself up to just about anyone who’ll listen, keeping the dooming and looming at bay by chattering away, those scary feelings inadequacy at bay with his fast car, fast ladies, and a good book.
trying to find something or someone to stroke that boomer ego.
it’s really just a great driving around song (as almost any Cars song is)- but this one is just a touch more ironic, yet also plaintive.
lift me the wondermaze
alienation is the craze
and it’s all gonna happen to you
