The Knee-Driving Movement

My morning pass through my RSS aggregator revealed an entry by the marvelous and always fun to read Seth Godin about a guy he saw playing flute while driving. Later that day he spies another one.

I giggle to myself because I've seen this video of Victoria Vox playing her ukulele and singing while knee-driving.
[blockquote]I would like to quickly point out here that Victoria seems to be on an open and sparsely trafficked road as opposed to somewhere in urban, rush-hour traffic like the other ones.[/blockquote]
Then someone sends him a link and a picture of some Celtic-style artwork of a "knee-driver" playing his pennywhistle. There's also some hilarious commentary about the practice on the page. (The Chiff & Fipple site is devoted to pennywhistle.)

Seth posts a follow-up wondering if this is a movement.

And apparently it is. Maybe not so big as the Alice's Restaurant Massacree Anti-War Movement, but a movement nonetheless.

Me? I'm torn between "so happy more people are choosing to do the homemade music" thing and "so appalled that they're choosing to do it in traffic."

What do you think?
