It sounds like everyone in our very formal sampling listens to something. Interesting.

One good friend of mine doesn’t listen to the radio or much of anything else while driving, although occaisionally he’ll throw in a CD of new age music. I’ve been on several four hour drives with this man and he simply doesn’t care for music while driving. The gentleman I’m dating will listen to NPR or books on CD or CDs which suit his rather eclectic musical tastes. Me, I have to have the radio on, usually to one of two rock’n’roll radio stations, although I will sometimes listen to NPR. I also have tapes in the tape deck (I don’t have a CD player) for when I go through a tunnel or when both stations are running commercials or something else I don’t care for.
