Q: Is it possible to charm a police officer with your music?
A: yes, but i think i missed the perfect opportunity. this is kind of a long story but hopefully you can follow... one time i was driving through a mandatory sobriety check point. they looked at my license and asked me to say the alphabet. But i've heard so many stories about police asking you to say the alphabet BACKWARDS, that in my mind i thought that's what they said. And it just so happens that as a child i familiarized myself with a fully functional version of the common ABC song, with backwards lyrics, so the alphabet is in reverse. So i have the backwards alphabet very readily commited to memory. So i started blasting through the backwards alphabet (not in song, just spoken) and i already got to about Q when he said 'whoa whoa whoa, no, forwards.' and he probably thought i was crazy. Everything worked out fine, but unfortunately i missed the opportunity to simply press play on the CD in the CD player, which happened to be a test mix of my 'Alphabet Shuffle' song, which i had been listening to moments before. i understand this story would have been better if i had actually done it, but for some reason it didn't seem like a good idea at the time
