The next morning eat plenty of eggs and gulp down plenty of chocolate milk. Once hes in your your car and your driving off into the wild blue yonder make sure you hit the child lock so he cant roll down his window. You should be about ripe by this time for some explosive flatulence so let'em rip. Act casual as if nothings wrong till he is absolutley infuriated and then act totally shocked by his rude behavior. You might could even get him to punch you and be well on your way to a promotion once he realizes he ****ed up by assaulting you. If not either way itll be good for some laughs

Dude just play something that would appeal to a lot of people faintly.maybe just an instrumental album or something dude

Or just play Led Zeppelin. Even if he doesn't like them, he probably won't admit it.

This is so easy. Avoid any chance of your boss thinking you're a dipshit with terrible music tastes by just listening to the radio, so whatever comes on can't be blamed on you. Play it low so it isn't totally silent in the car and you two can talk or whatever. He will probably promote you to Vice President of the company and give you a 500% raise.

Make a CD of people having sex. Don't play it in the car as that would be stupid. Just make a CD of people having sex.

so it's done.

i went with the suggested opening spiel of "i usually listen to blah blah blah..." then i gave him my ipod and told him he can just play dj. he did. i pre-loaded it with more of the songs i think he would like. he ended up liking Stereophonics and Remy Zero.

on our way back to the office, he decided to drop by a record store and he bought all Stereophonics and Remy Zero cds he could find.

i had some acoustic artists there too like Brett Dennen, Amos Lee, and a bunch more. He sort of picked ten artists and when we got back to the office, he asked me to track down the ten artists for some projects.

it went well. he is still talking with me, he has referred to some of the artists he found in my ipod several times in our project meeting and most important, i still have my job.

Keep the volume however you left it last. If you were blasting it before you got out of your keep it if you had it low keep it. You're doing him a favor you are by letting him ride with you.

Exactly that's how I feel. That's why it's ALWAYS driver's choice.

PLAY what the hell you feel like playing.
