Candy-O

When you get a speeding ticket in Zurich, there are no police cars and lights and sirens. There is a strobe light that flashes repeatedly from atop a pole and blinds you just enough so that the camera on the pole can see the car, license plate and who is driving.

I was driving a rented vehicle recently and this is just what happened to me. I really would like to see the photo, as I imagine it looked a bit like the cover of the Cars album Candy-O, circa 1979. (But in this version, the woman is much older, much less attractive, made up, sexy, sassy, etc...). **** update **** How embarassing ... a few days after I posted this I had the itch to check out the covers of Cars albums ... turns out that while the Candy-O cover was (is) quite sexy and provocative, it was not the one I pictured while writing this post. It was the self titled Cars album with the woman behind the wheel. My apologies ...****

But still - for a moment I was on a classic album cover. Maybe there's still time ... any bands out there looking for an old broad to sit and knit on their next CD cover? Drop me a line and I'll put you in touch with my agent.
