M.C. Mars the Freestyling San Francisco Cabbie

2005-11-03T14:31:00.000-08:00

"As a cab driver you’re at the forefront of that frenetic human movement out in the street. In a sense I’m guiding the movement of the city. That’s part of my flow. Inside my cab is a laboratory of human development. I’m feeling peoples’ energy, and I’m constantly letting them feel my energy." (Maxim interview, Fare and Unbalanced)

What a treat! Grabbed a lift with the legendary cabbie M.C. Mars, who freestyled the whole fare. He's also the author of Don't Take Me the Long Way Home.

rain on windshield driving

As I was driving through Connecticut, I found some classical music. I think it was Shostakovich. And since my windshield wipers suck, and the drops were few, I let them rise up the glass to the heavens with the music. And it ruled in an epic everyday sort of way.

this is only a test
