It seems a sacrilege to reduce everything to a number, especially since we’re writers and love our words. Except, that superlatives miss the point of using words, leaving us dizzy, set in our ways, and often intimidated to break new ground or to take a stand on a record that changes everything, as Paul Combs declared yesterday for the how-many-times-is-it-now?, birthday of Springsteen’s Born To Run.

Paul also had a nice mashup of Rate-A-Record and Pierce McIntyre’s latest challenge on songs with “planes, trains, and automobile” themes:

13 Great Songs About Planes, Trains, & Automobiles

The Rate-A-Record Edition of the Five Worst Novelty Earworm Songs Ever

And I see that as far as trains go, Steven Hale and Kevin Alexander have also weighed in, so check out their tales, too.
