Not simple thrill seekers, these folks have turned their kink into a cult, elevated making out in the backseat to sadomasochistic levels, converted rubbernecking into a black art. They preach "the reshaping of the human body by modern technology." Their grail is James Dean's Porsche Spyder 550; their relics are photos of Jayne Mansfield's fatal collision. Kinda creepy...

...sort of pathetic attempt to exclude artists who have a gift of musicianship: Shawn Colvin, A Few Small Repairs; Sting, Mercury Falling; Keb 'Mo', Just Like You; Beatles, Anthology III; Paula Cole, This Fire; Lyle Lovett, The Road to Ensenada; and Chris Isaak, Baja Sessions.
