Comment:

Made for a road trip my boy and I are taking next week, to St. Louis, Memphis, and then ending up in Indianapolis to see Reverend Glasseye. The title comes from the Paul Simon song. Dorky, I know, but some of my earliest road trip memories are associated with that song.

Good mix, hope you don't end up stuck in Indianapolis like the guy in the Bottle Rockets' song by the same name ("can't go west, can't go east, I'm stuck in Indainapolis with a fuel pump that's deceased").

This looks like a nice road trip on so many levels. Enjoy the Reverend (here in Beantown we get to see him pretty often, and yeah, he rocks).

Road trip soundtracks have gotten a lot better since back wehn they depended on twirling the car radio dial!
