Day 14: Palo Alto

Airbag / How Am I Driving? EP (1998)

This song was originally titled “Ok Computer”, the name of the LP that preceded this EP release. Of course, the song was later changed to Palo Alto, which holds, as its slogan, “The City of the Future”. I love how friendly the refrain is. People are friendly in Silicon Valley because the weather’s great, and they know that they are smarter and more well-off than you are. Thanks for asking.

Notable lyric: But, I’m okay / How are you? / hanks for asking / thanks for asking
