One time I heard on NPR that during a traffic jam, motorists in India lower their windows down and start a conversation, all in order to pass time more quickly. Isn't that one of the coolest things? There was a light out[like always] nad a major car accident. Somehow, a mini van drove up on the median, hit a concrete sign and skidded to the other street heading the opposite direction. There was nothing to do, but to put your brakes on. I had my Red Hot Chili Peppers:Greatest Hits[Great, but it doesn't include one of my favorite song, "Can't Stop"]with me and I decided that this car wreck needed a musical number. I rolled down my windows and started blarring my CD as loud as I could. Yes, I did get the occasional look, the smirk of disgust, but who cares? I think that the crowd would be helping with my rendition of "Fortune Faded".

They say at chess you've got to kill the queen And then you've made it Do you?
A funny thing, a king that gets himself Assassinated...
Hey now, every time I loose...Altitude...
You took the town by storm, nw the mess you made is nominated... Do you?
Now put away your welcome, oon you'll find you've overstayed it Hey now, every time I loose...Altitude...

So divine, hell of an elevator
All the while, my fortune faded.
Never mind the consequences of my Wildest time, my fortune faded

I soon realized that I had compettion at this singing contest. A WV Jetta pulled up and some random guy had the same song playing at the EXACT SAME TIME. He also had his windows rolled down and was blaring "Fortune Faded"[a bit too loud for me]. Both of us were signing at the top of our lungs, ignoring our pitch or tune. Both us were just enjoying the music, making the time pass by and putting on a free show for those who cared. The traffic moved forward and we drove into the sunset.
All I have to say is:
 Never mind the consequences of my Wildest time, my fortune faded
