Details are somewhat sketch, but an accident along WB I-40 near Maumelle on Saturday left traffic at a standstill and backed up for miles. However, the musical group Foley's Van took it upon themselves to keep stranded motorists entertained.

I have yet to be entertained by live music while sitting in a traffic jam.  I will contact the band about setting up shop along the Garden State Parkway during Friday evening summer rush hour.

That was awesome!  I love listening to live music...no better way to have to endure a traffic stoppage!   :clap:    :sombrero:

If you think traffic on the San Diego  freeway is bad check out North Luzon Freeway in the Philippines this freeway was shut down for the weekend because of a stadium opening with a religious group. Not enough public transit or parking garages in Philippine Arena. Its as old as Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. Supposedly this stadium had the entire Population of the San Fernando Valley or Santa Clara County. And there was camping on this freeway.

This is worse than any traffic jam I've been in in the Los Angeles area.

There was a story today about people on a Cali freeway in LA that played Texas Hold'Em on the freeway because traffic did not move for more than 3 hours
The local weatherman, trust me I can be 99.9% right!

I once saw a tailgate party break out in a post-NASCAR race traffic jam on I-95 in South Carolina.

YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAWW!!! I love me some redneck music . . . and what a venue! Nothing like the inside lane of a freeway to let loose your new single.
