About this listen

It is the Summer of 1970. A decade of hope and optimism is quickly giving way to one of doubt and cynicism. Yet it is still a time when two young vagabonds have a decent chance of throwing themselves on the mercy of strangers and living to tell about it. One is a romantic sort. He knows books and concerns himself with ethereal things like meaning and the purpose of life. The other is more practical. He knows how to get out of a jam and concerns himself with things that look fishy and might spell trouble. Together they set out.

Parolees and ex-cons, rock and roll icons, small timers and big dreamers, violence, drugs, bikers, hippies, men bent on revenge, and women with amorous intentions, the runaways manage to survive it all, but just barely.

They start most of their days standing on the shoulder of the road, while peering through a passenger window, as the person behind the wheel says; ”I can take you as far as I’m going.” That often proves far enough for more dangerous escapades, more close calls, and a bit more understanding of the world and people beyond the borders of their small hometown.
