I was watching this OnStar commercial, the one with the the airbags and crash test dummies and detected some background music that sounded familiar, something I used to listen to in college while studying. Ambient music. It sounds very much like Brian Eno. Ambient Eno pitching OnStar? Would he? Maybe OnStar will begin selling its system with the Complete Works of Eno. That’d be a deal that could get me back in a Chevy.

Instant fix
No worries for now
Ambient sounds of Eno at midnight
Subliminal relaxation
Soon a computer
The Leading Edge
Must gain control of my mind
Thoughts on a floppy disk
Not to self-ostracize
Only to organize
Organize
Bounced a check today
Or was it yesterday
Doesn’t matter anyway
Slimy beans in the fridge
Eat them out of the can
No dishes to clean
Clean beans
Saw Halley’s Comet again
Exploding snowball in the air
Had to stop and stare
Eno at midnight
Discreet as can be
Good grief it’s morning again
And the Spartan blows reveille
