In the Don Henley song, he references "a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac," but in the cover by The Ataris, it's updated to "a Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac," so I thought of the title track to my favorite Black Flag album

"Le Freak" is a prime example of funk/RnB evolving into disco, so I always need to follow up "Le Freak" with one of the three best disco-funk songs:

• "Jungle Boogie" by Kool and the Gang

• "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by Santa Esmerelda

• This song, "Car Wash" by Rose Royce

Today I posted "Car Wash" because that intro is so completely capitvating and unlike most anything else from the disco era (although I suppose the same could be said of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood")

Hot rods make me think of greasers and pinup girls, which makes me think of psychobilly

Plum's connection to Gomez got me thinking about songs and bands that are tied to specific memories, which reminded me this song by Islands, which I listened to extensively while on one of my first and best vacations I took with my wife.

edit: Also, this is a fantastic summer/tropical holiday song

Something about the delivery on the chorus by the vocalist from Girl in a Coma reminded me of the singer in this song by Placebo.

Also the singer from Placebo is pretty androgenous, which continues the whole Bowie theme, too .

From one song about the struggles of the working class to another

The Day-> Someday

From one song about heroin use to another. Also, Neil Young is often described as "The Godfather of Grunge," and Alice in Chains is one of the quintessential Seattle grunge bands.

Dario from the previous post reminded me of Eddie Izzard's look from this scene of Across the Universe

Another song about a Trans Am (and taking chances)

Just as the previous post mentioned, stoner/doom songs are perfect for driving

Dr Dre is one of the producers and members of NWA, and he went on to mentor a young rapper from Compton named Kendrick Lamar.

Also, both songs are heavily critical of the disproportionate policing of Black neighborhoods and have been used as protest songs by the Black Lives Matter movement
