What was the original title of Running Up That Hill? Train In Vain is not about locomotives, so why it "train" in the title? What car did Janis Joplin drive (hint: it's not a Merc). Join Stevie Nix as he answers all of these questions and more on this episode that deals with songs that cover all modes of transport - from walking to flying. WARNING: This episode contains traces of The Partridge Family.
