Music

I feel sorry for anyone that has to take a long car trip with the Heinisch family.  Our collective musical taste is as eclectic as can be.  Tonight on our way home from shopping we listened to Guns N Roses, Journey, Les Miserables, Justine Bieber with Will I Am, JaySean, a James Bond Movie Theme (Skyfall) and Def Leppard.  We all sang along or critiqued one another's music.

Brett enjoys playing songs that someone else can't stand.  Since his musical taste includes Tennessee Ernie Ford, National Anthems of foreign countries, and rap, he can usually pick something that someone else despises.  Meg is more main stream with Taylor Swift as a regular one on her playlist.  Cameron has been banned from playing Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang from the James Bond movie Thunderball by majority rule.  Cal is more of a classic rock listener.  He will throw in some Metallica or Rolling Stones to the mix when he is with us.  Doug introduced the Beastie Boys to the rotation, and he and Meg enjoy "Fight for Your Right." I have been listening a lot to the Sound Track of Les Miserable.  Thus, Cameron can now sing along to "Do You Hear the People Sing."  One staple, Journey, is a group that everyone can agree to.

So, if you are planning on taking a car trip with us, think of an obscure song or one hit wonder.  Chances are that one of the Heinisch family has it on his or her iPod or iPhone.  Practice your singing and complaining.  Both will come in handy as we travel along!
