Airbag - Radiohead



"In a fast German (Japanese) car,
I'm amazed that I survived,
An airbag saved my life"


What a fitting song for my experience last night.  A head on collision from a Chevy Tahoe could have done me in.  A couple of paces to the right, and she would have smashed the driver's side door, likely causing life-threatening injuries.  Luckily, I walked with barely a scratch. At first, I thought of the other people involved and if they were okay.  Then, it was "shit, now I have to make car payments again." It's taken a little while to sink in, but it could have been much, much worse.   Glad to be alive today with the rest of the people I love and care about.

  1. Glad you're alive, too, buddy. This is my all-time favorite Radiohead song, by the way.

    1. Thanks for the comment Pete! Yeah it was a close one. Glad to have walked away with barely a scratch. Got a new car yesterday to replace my former baby.

      I have to say that this is Radiohead's best album, but song, I don't know about that. Close.
