Self Referential, Once Again

So relating to this post - -or more the comment.

I remembered the reading the following article - actually it wasn't this one exactly but a much more in depth discussion, I just can't find that one.

Don’t play this music while driving

Wagner’s ‘Ride of the Valkyries’ tops list

LONDON - When Richard Wagner composed his powerful “Ride of the Valkyries” in the 1850s, he surely wasn’t thinking of any danger he was posing to 21st-century motorists.

Britain’s RAC Foundation for Motoring on Wednesday named the strident classical piece the No. 1 tune not to play while driving, based on research it says shows loud music can cause accidents.

The “Dies Irae” from Giuseppe Verdi’s “Requiem” was also considered a no-no.

So there you go.

I also saw some (less than stringent) reaserch on the excellent brainiac: science abuse.

They were having people drive around a test track and trying to distract them various ways. as I recall (and it's not 100%) listening to music you like is distracting - having girls get undressed and the dressed againin the car around you isn't ( the test subject was a 'lad', obviously).
