That sort of is what we called it, right?

Isn't that what you called it?

Easy listening?

Yeah, that's what I was first introduced to it as.

Our mutual friend, Allison, who we used to work with, my friend Eddie's wife, calls it carsick music because it just brings back days of like riding backwards in a station wagon and being carsick and that stuff just droning on and on.

It's a little crazier than you thought.

Like, for example, Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes is code for let's smoke some DMT.

Yeah.

That was the only one I turned up.

I mean, what do you think Ride Like the Wind is about?
