Drive Day to L.A.

September 20th, 2007 by Karin

Johnny Cash all the way to LA.

In the film documentaries we watched on our drive day, Johnny drove his RV with June, Carl Perkins and others in tow. Linford and Jake drive south on the 5 with me and the boys much the same. From 1958 Town Hall Party to Memphis in 1968, Cash is on the screen in the conversion van and girls are screaming their fool heads off for songs like Don’t Take Your Guns to Town.

And everything was right with the world. (Well almost.)

We stopped on the way for some fuel, like you do. The cost of fame?

Ouch.

And inside we found some munchies – California style.

It was a long drive from San Fran to LA. But thanks to Jake’s collection of Cash videos, it was relatively painless.
