Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I can't stand bluegrass and "twang," whatever the scientific term might be, so the music always sets my teeth on edge too.
I don't mean a thang if it ain't got no twang!
You have to remember Xena, most of do not have and/or are not proficient with the metal death-Frisbee thingie - we just run from our enemies - and when in a car chase, nothing else provides the soundtrack to safety like Bluegrass.
