With percentage numbers climbing that indicate more and more Americans getting the Covid 19 vaccine, I feel relieved to see some type of light down the not so distant future. It's been in my mind since this pandemic began to get in the car and just go on an endless driving journey. For all the reasons that postponed such an idea, there was a spark of an idea that allowed me to make it, somewhat, possible. This podcast, once again, proved to help my imagination along find an escape of sorts.
What you will find here, is the first episode in a series of 4 that take you on an audio road trip with my good friend, Mark Riddell, and myself. Mark was kind enough to come and "ride shotgun" during this trip. There is so much covered in these episodes. However, to get us started on this first episode, you can keep an ear out for The Circle Jerks, The Five Man Electrical Band, The Cure, Paul Weller, The Standells describe a Riot On Sunset Strip, Lightnin' Hopkins was Down On Dowling Street in Houston, Lou Reed knows how dirty the streets in New York can be, Tom Waits has been on Houston streets, Patsy Cline knows how lonely we can get, not to mention much, much more... Mark and I talk a bit about what our world is serving us currently, as well as much laughter. I hope you are able to turn this up, ride along with us over the next several episodes. Don't worry, we decide on a destination. Come along! And tell the guy at the counter that Pump 11 isn't working!
