The cooler’s full, the car’s gassed up, and we’re outta here. Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll see you at the first rest stop after sunup.
Oh, great choices…. except Springsteen. Can’t abide him. But MITCHUM singing?? Oh totally worth it!! 🙂

LC Aggie– The only reason I included Stringbean was the date of the vid, and that the song title had “Road” in it. He was way over-hyped in the mid 70s. I liked Southside Johnny better.
Here’s some trivia: The Ramones played with Springsteen on the same bill, and asked him to write a song for them. “Hungry Heart” was the result, but Springsteen’s manager told him to keep it for himself.

SG– I’m kind of surprised they’ve lasted so long. JW’s had health problems for years.
