What should we tip him?

(Buster Poindexter from the movie Scrooged, aka David Johansen of The New York Dolls)

CASH CAB. New summer fare... (get it?).

On the Discovery Channel (for my part, I at least waited till after dusk to turn on the TV and run across this show).
The premise: a taxi cab picks you up and you have to answer questions for money given to you by the driver. Three wrong and you are out on the curb. Or if you do well, keep the money you get for answering the questions correctly. It was a stupid show but the questions actually were above the norm of most game shows.

Clip from the show: CASH CAB.

Counting Crows, Big Yellow Taxi.

Taxi Driver by well known Stones fan, Martin Scorsese. I’m waiting for the documentary of the Stones at the end of this summer.

Death Cab for Cutie, Title & Registration.

Cab Calloway, Reefer Man

Soul meets body.

My favorite song from the last year or so. I don't remember if I got the CD in 2005 or 2006. Named: Plans.

There are alot of stories about how they got their name. The one I heard was that Cutie was a little poodlelike dog taking his last fateful trip to the vet in a NYC cab.

Not even close but it makes a good story.

From Wiki:

Death Cab for Cutie is an American band formed in Bellingham, Washington in 1997. The band takes its name from a satirical song, of the same name, performed by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band on their 1967 album Gorilla and in the Beatles experimental movie, Magical Mystery Tour.

We saw them at Lollapalooza this last summer.

"Soul Meets Body"

I want to live where soul meets body

And let the sun wrap its arms around me

And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing

And feel, feel what its like to be new

Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station

Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations

So they may have a chance of finding a place

where they’re far more suited than here

I cannot guess what we'll discover

We turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels

But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s

And not one speck will remain

I do believe it’s true

That there are roads left in both of our shoes

If the silence takes you

Then I hope it takes me too

So brown eyes I hold you near

Cause you’re the only song I want to hear

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body

Where soul meets body

Where soul meets body

I do believe it’s true

That there are roads left in both of our shoes

If the silence takes you

Then I hope it takes me too

So brown eyes I hold you near

Cause you’re the only song I want to hear

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
