That really paints a picture...

sinanjuWhile driving home Sunday afternoon after handing Twoson off to his father, I popped a Beach Boys CD into the player in the Hyundai. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snippy likes to mock me for being totally out of touch with pop culture. But--hah!--the Beach Boys have been around for a very long time and so some of their music penetrated even into the backwater areas of Virginia. I've heard a lot of it.
But I may not have paid a great deal of attention. I knew they sang a lot of songs about surfing, and that they sang about racing cars too some. I hadn't realized, however, just how much of their music concerns racing. In particular, Little Deuce Coupe, which has a line that really grabbed my attention.
And coming off the line when the light turns green
Well, she blows 'em out of the water like you've never seen
I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears...
Now that's fast.
It's also interesting to note, in NLP terms, how Snippy and I process that description. She feels it; I see it. She imagines what it would feel like. I see someone who looks a lot like young Harrison Ford from American Graffiti getting flattened like Gumby by the acceleration. Kinesthetic thinkers versus visual thinkers.
