With a total running time of about 55 minutes, two nearly evenly-spaced cassette sides of 6 songs, and each song averaging roughly 4-1/2 minutes, U2's "Achtung Baby" has become something of a trip-measuring tool in the car. Modesto isn't an x mile or x minute trip, it's a nearly one Achtung Baby trip. And instead of being x miles or x minutes away from your destination, you're really only an "Acrobat" away. Getting burgers from In-N-Out is a Side 1 trip. How do you know if you're running behind schedule? If "So Cruel" hasn't started by the time you reach a certain landmark, the traffic has been slower than normal. And what if your destination is further away than 55 minutes? Hey, cassette auto-reverse was invented for a reason.
