I only listen to the voices in my head. Sometimes they sing.
A dog had his chain reduced one link at a time, every few days, until his chain was so short he could barely move. He never resisted because he was conditioned to the loss of his freedom slowly, over time. Are we in this country becoming like the dog?

Good tune. I wish I was riding back before Jerry died. It would been fun to do a tour on a bike.

That is just wrong on so many levels.

I used to have an 8-track in the tail of my old Kawasaki, with some old headphone speakers installed in the helmet.

It was OK, but I had to really crank up the volume to drown out the wind noise. This not only made it hard to hear sounds outside the helmet, but the combined noise level from the wind and speakers probably wasn't doing my ears any good. Nowadays, I just listen to the engine.

I have an ipod shuffle stuck (with velcro) to the side of my frame just under my thigh so I can reach down and change the tracks without looking and run the earbud wires through my jacket up into my helmet. I use these earbuds... they are cheap, don't fall out, and mold to your ear. They also keep other sounds out pretty well, http://www.audio-discounters.com/spark-plug.html
