As I drove home from New Jersey, I flipped through the channels looking for something to listen to. I switched the channels back and forth, and I couldn’t find anything worth listening to. Same old on the radio: pop hits, christian babel channels, talk radio and classic rock. So, I punched good ol’ number 1 on my channel preset. The radio station I love and really the only one I listen to, 88.5 WXPN. However, it was static and I left it be. I was just outside of the transmission range, I suppose. Though, I usually pick it up right around Princeton, NJ. As I drove, the static began to change and you could hear snippets of songs coming through. I drove and listened to the static, somewhat in the background. Along the way, the static lessened and eventually became what I was after. I could hear more structure, I could hear the songs. There was I Feel Fine by the Beatles and A Pete Yorn tune. I was finally in range of my favorite radio station.
Next time you’re out of town, try it on the way home. It’s kind of a performance piece played out by your car.
