A story about Seung Sahn, a Zen teacher:
"Do not eat and read the newspaper at the same time," he said. "When you eat, just eat. When you read the newspaper, just read the newspaper."
The next morning, a student saw the teacher eating breakfast while reading the newspaper.
"I thought you said not to eat and read the newspaper at the same time," the student said.
To which Sahn said, "When you eat and read the newspaper, just eat and read the newspaper."
So Tom, when you drive and sing, just drive and sing.
