The Washington Post,​ 6/12/17:

This guy wrote a song for every Metro station. All 91 of them.

 

 

Jason Mendelson has a wife, two cats and a charming little bungalow in Alexandria. He prefers tea over coffee, keeps his collection of Rickenbacker guitars in pristine condition and spends his days as a senior manager at AOL, ensuring that the company complies with tax laws in roughly 10,000 state and local jurisdictions in the United States.

 

In other words, he leads a pretty typical suburban Washington life.

 

Typical, except that Mendelson, 38, devoted 6  1/2 years of his life to writing songs about each and every station in the 118-mile Metro system. That’s eight albums and 91 tracks. 

 

SNIP  

 

The collection is available at metrosongs.bandcamp.com.
