Narrative:

Was flying from myf to sdm at 3000. Set obs to intercept pgy R350 and track inbound. Became distracted by golden oldies on '69 extra gold' am 690 which was blaring from my ADF (the strains of the beach boys 'surfing USA') and without malice aforethought clipped san TCA. Just when the beach boys 'wiped out' I realized I had too, and made the necessary correction to exit said TCA. P.south. I probably clipped gillespie's air traffic area also, in the 'wake' of the surfing song.
