down to Memphis


Seven-Thirty-Seven comin' out of the sky

Oh, won't you take me down to Memphis

On a midnight ride? --

I wanna move.



Playin' in a travelin' band, yeah!
Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land,
Tryin' to get a hand,
Playin' in a travelin' band....

     "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" -- a Netflix show -- is simply a gentle pleasure.

     At the beginning of most episodes, Jerry Seinfeld shows the audience what car he is going to drive this time:  the cars are unique and interesting.  He tells you some background information about the car.

Then he drives the car to pick up the guest.  He had Don Rickles on, and Jerry Lewis too, when each of them was still alive.



He had Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, and some others -- I can't remember all the names.

They go and get coffee and have a conversation.  They talk about what's funny, why it's funny, what do we like in life, what do we care about, things that seem worth it but aren't -- or the other way around...


It is a very -- "easy," and laid-back show.  And educational.

Sometimes Seinfeld will say something that's exactly how I feel:  in one episode he says watching the tv series "Get Smart" had a big impact on him.  (Same, for me!)
