PZA and me: SF->NYC Aug 2003
Aug 2003, PZA and I drove from San Francisco to NYC in exactly 3 days. We swapped, back and forth, 4 hours on, 4 hours off. Only stops were Boulder, CO for 4 hours and Chicago for ~10. Noon on Thursday we got on the Bay Bridge. Hit the Brooklyn Bridge at noon on Sunday.
Every Rose Has It's Thorn by Poison
Aug 2003, driving a car that is not mine through Wyoming in the early morning, best friend passed out in the seat next to me, listening to a mix cd I put together a week before. This song comes on and, in perfect sync, the sun crests the horizon right as "Just as every night has it's dawn." Cheesy, but perfect.
Same trip, Zane is driving the pass out of Utah, I'm dozing in and out of sleep as he chainsmokes Backwoods cigars with the windows wide open. He puts this CD on repeat, and it seems I somehow manage to fall asleep as soon as this song finishes and wake up as soon as it starts. Everytime. For four hours.
Hard Travellin' by Woody Guthrie
Should be self explanatory, but if not: We start every major drive with that song, writing our own lyrics about apple picking, beer drinking, Dodge truck fixing, baseball watching, etc.
