I’ll be damned – that’s the first uncool thing I’ve seen rise from your keyboard. The twangy voice of the banjo, the melodious yet frantic-if-need-be undertone of the fiddle, the I-don’t-know-the-proper-adjective-ness of the steel guitar – such good, healthy, basic American music, that bluegrass is.

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.

IMO, no instrument produces a sound as sweet as a pedal steel guitar.

The original Smokey & the Bandit featured a chase scene (right near the end, IIRC) set to the "Orange Blossom Special". I've always loved that tune, and it went especially well with that chase scene.

I am powerfully uncool. I just have y'all snowed. :)

BTW, if you're properly armed, chase music is a moot issue!
