[ale] Quasi-OT: One for the true hackers

[Robert L. Harris]

When I'm doing a Sat/Sun ride over back streets or down to Macon yeah, I
just back and enjoy the wind and sound of the bike.  When I spend over
an hour just sitting on 75 wondering how big the ticket would be for
kicking some idiot in the head who just cut me off, I like some nice 
relaxing music.
