iTunes, this should be easier

There must be an easier way to do this or I am definitely missing something.  All I wanted to do was create a playlist that excluded all songs that were listed as explicit.  Sounds simple, right?  Well, I searched around for a bit and finally gave up and decided it would be easier to just [...]

I’ve owned a 2007 VW Passat for the last 10 months that typically gets anywhere from 350-370 miles on a tank of gas.  With gas prices getting higher and higher I decided to try to drive a little more “gently,” meaning less aggressive starts at lights and stop signs, a little slower on the interstate, [...]
