On The Road. Mississippi River Route from St. Louis to New Orleans.
Lupe's perspective.Jeez Dad. Are we there yet?
Left a good job in the city,
Working for The Man every night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleeping,
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been.
Big wheel keep on turning,
Proud Mary keep on burning,
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
Until I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
Big wheel keep on turning,
Proud Mary keep on burning, Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
The Arch
The Arch, Gateway to the West. Some might argue that it is no longer a gateway to the West. But this is definitely where the East ends. And then you can go far out West to San Francisco that is so far West that it is far East.
The Arch is so iconic. Like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, you can see it from many parts of the city of St. Louis. Also like the Eiffel Tower, it is something that has to be seen up close.
Japan in Memphis
Japan in Memphis. Ecstatic. Absolutely essential to the Mystery Train tour.
I am tickled.
Beale Street = a wretched hive of scum and villainy. And some pretty good blues.
Key phrase here= off Beale.Beale Street on Tuesday morning= a ghostland.
