The drive to San Diego from Phoenix was an adventure. We were forced to stop at 3 separate check points because of our proximity to the border, I found out what a ‘cracklin’ is, and I got to speed through some mountain passes in the rain and fog while blasting Wagner (see video below). We managed to get to the venue on time and in one piece. Also if you ever need a cowbell and you are driving through Yuma, Arizona don’t even bother stopping– I literally called 3 different music stores and each of them was out of cow bells, bro. (Written in the parliance of the times)
Oh and by the way, for the record a ‘cracklin’ is a piece of fried pork fat with the skin left on! (yummy!)
