Who would ever forget the legendary country music group back in the early 70’s, the Eagles? It was my father’s favorite classic rock band and he used to play their songs everyday while driving me to school.

“Eagles” is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California back in the early 70’s. They started to rock the music industry in 1972, and continued to savor the great goodness of their fame until 1982. However, because of increase in the population of new bands in the US, the Eagles had somewhat lost their popularity.

The Eagles’ fanatics missed them a lot. This was the reason why they came back after 11 years. They released their “Greatest Hits Album” and the “Hell Freezes Over” containing the ever famous hit single “Hotel California” in 1994. And until now, they are performing as a new country rock band with new members.

“Take it Easy” was their very first single on their 1972 self titled debut album. It was a feel-good country rock song that I memorized. I was my Dad’s favorite driving song. So, step on your clutch and start your engine as I give you their 1972 classic hit “Take it Easy”.

Take It Easy
By The Eagles

Well I’m a runnin’ down the road
try’n to loosen my load
I’ve got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me,
two that wanna stone me
One says she’s a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels
drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don’t even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand,
and take it easy

Well, I’m a standin’ on a corner
in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl my lord in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin’ down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win,
though we may never be here again
So open up I’m climbin’ in,
so take it easy

Well, I’m a runnin’ down the road
tryin’ to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin’ for a lover
who won’t blow my cover,
she’s so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels
make you crazy
Come on baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
is gonna save me

I am currently listening to Incubus’ “Drive”. This song was released in their 1999 “Make Yourself” album and was released as a single in 2001. After several days as a hit, the song climbed Billboard’s modern rock charts and reached the number one spot. The music video is based on M.C. Escher’s Drawing Hands.

A feel good song you can play on your car’s audio while hitting the road, that is what Drive is. The song talks about being afraid to face another day life. “But no matter what tomorrow brings, he’ll be there open arm and opened eyes”.

Take a little trip by singing along with its lyrics that I am posting here. Read on.

Drive
Incubus

Sometimes, I feel the fear of
uncertainty stinging clear.
And I can’t help but ask
myself how much I’ll let the
fear take the wheel and steer.
It’s driven me before, and it seems to
have a vague, haunting mass appeal.

But lately I am beginning to find that
I should be the one behind the wheel.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
with open arms and open eyes.
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It’s driven me before and it seems to be the way
that everyone else gets around.

But lately I’m beginning to find that
when I drive myself
my light is found.

So whatever tomorrow
brings, I’ll be there
with open arms and
open eyes. Yeh.

Would you kill the Queen
to crush the hive?
Would you choose
water over wine…
hold the wheel
and drive?

Go get a copy now and hit that ride while tuning in to Incubus’ “Drive”.

The first collaboration of ASUS and this car maker took place last year in August when Lamborghini announced the availability of the ASUS VX1 laptop used on some of its selected cars at the Concorso Italiano in Monterey, California. Now, these two companies are teaming up continuously as ASUS made the new VX2 available for Lamborghini cars.

The Italian car maker and the Taiwanese computer company did not give much information about the new laptop’s specifications. However, ASUS revealed that the new computer system will be empowered by Microsoft’s new operating system, Windows Vista, and it will also employ Intel’s Centrino Duo Mobile processor. Like the previous VX1, the new car accessory will be available in either black or yellow with either aluminum-magnesium alloy or carbon fiber. The new laptop will be sporting a metal keyboard and a sophisticated leather palm-rest that matches the trim available on the interior of a Lamborghini road car.

As of Ferrari which will have Acer’s laptop, this new accessory will sure be a big hit. But for now, let as all wait until the Asus Lamborghini VX2 is officially unveiled.

Anyway, I will be looking for a tonneau covers online for my Honda Civic. I will be keeping you updated when I hear further news about these extremely sought-after vehicles (and their accessories).
