Perfect song for late-winter riding

So I brought my new GSXR750 home on Saturday.

The weather was iffy... depending on whose forecast you wanted to believe, it was either going to be in the mid-40s and partly cloudy, or rain showers/snow flurries.

With 30 miles to go sure enough, the snow started to blow. I was not that worried because it was the very dry stuff that just blows around and doesn't accumulate.

But when I ran into it, the song "Plastic Jesus" from Cool Hand Luke popped unbidden into my head. I was singing it all the way home...


I don't care if it rains or freezes
'Long as I got my plastic Jesus
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car

Comes in colors pink and pleasant
Glows in the dark 'cause it's iridescent
Take it with you when you travel far

Get yourself a sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones settin' on a
Pedestal of abalone shell

Goin' ninety I ain't scarey
'Cause I got the Virgin Mary
Assurin' me that I won't go to hell........
