Ah, the freedom of driving. I have the fondest memories of hitting the road and putting my most rockin’ CD in so I could air drum on the steering wheel (interestingly enough my beautiful Saturn came with a CD player but no power windows?). Unfortunately, most of us traded our cars for bus passes when we moved into San Francisco. This is a Muni mix. A mix to listen to while attempting to ignore the rowdy kids in the back of the bus playing music on their cell phones with no headphones. A mix for tolerating the older woman who keeps accidentally hitting you with her purse. A mix for keeping spirits high when you sit down in a great seat only to have a stinky man with twenty backpacks come and sit next to you. Put this mix on so you feel less uncomfortable about the man in urine stained clothes talking to himself next to you. Here’s to you, Muni!
