The worst passengers are the crying babies... A few months back, I had one in front of me, and I nearly locked myself in the bathroom to get some quiet time! Political thought in Russia 19th century - yikes. That's some pretty heavy reading. How in the world did you ever get hooked into the Russian scene anyways? I've tried several times to read about their history, and often get easily distracted from the book - unlike most books I read. Phil Collins soothing - now you are dating yourself into some good music. One of my all time favorite discs is his "Serious Hits... Live!" disc. Very good, makes me smile, and puts me to sleep every time!! "Easy Lover" and "Groovy Kind of Love" are definitely my favorites! I guess it all depends on the class – but I’m with you.

For example, when I was coming from ATL to MSP the Sunday after Thanksgiving, I was sitting next to this ass of a man. So, I try to ignore him and start to read (a book about political thought in Russia in the 19th century; I'm sure I looked like a snob - oh well, don't care). However, this man opened up his mouth and his voice sounded like a combination of the lead singer of "Canned Heat" and Michael McDonald (solo MM, not part of Doobies - think "Takin' it to the Streets"), and I could not block this obnoxious voice out, so I had to listen to iPod. Perhaps had his voice been as soothing as Phil Collins' voice, then I would have been more apt to concentrate on my book.

Some would say my music tastes border on the poor side. I like my 80s and 90s music with a mix of the 00s. My music collection is so eclectic, and frankly, I don't care what others think of my collection. It's not like I'm throwin' huge parties where others are "forced" to listen to my collection. Yet, I do like your "broadcasting" of your "great music" taste. I'm guessin' some of your family members are not too keen on that practice?!?! Thanks for the tip on the iPod. Others have made a similar comment. I'm not sure that I'd use it much in the plane. I'd rather get a book and get lost in it while flying. It's almost habit that I stop at the bookstore in the airport and get ripped on the price but get a book I end up enjoying and finishing in my travels. I really like Billy Joel.
