By the time I left home this morning, the trip from the front door to my car was more dangerous than once I got on the highway. Most of the ice that glazed sidewalks and secondary roads had been cleared from the major thoroughfares. Still, it seemed drivers were taking a little extra precaution.
Combine that with the dense fog I drove through a few hours ago and today's song is quite fitting.
"Slow Ride" by Foghat.
The British foursome formed in the early 70s and still tour today with drummer Roger Earl as the only original member of the band. "Slow Ride," which appeared on the band's fifth album, Fool for the City, reached number 20 on the U.S. charts in 1975, the band's top single. Over the years, the song has maintained and even grown in popularity by appearing on dozens of movies (Dazed and Confused), TV series (Seinfeld) and video games (Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock). In 2009, VH1 named it the 45th-best hard rock song of all-time.
