Can two geeky high school sophomores, city kids no less, keep a dream alive for more than forty years? A dream hatched in a green canvas Morsan’s tent. The dream of RVing North America to their heart’s content?
Yes. Yes indeed they can.
It’s Friday! Music & Cocktails Day. Stir up your favorite summer beverage, and for your listening pleasure:
One of the most perfect albums ever recorded.
Feel free to substitute “mz” for maxine, “Houston, the City” for Mexico City, and “East Texas” for Manhattan.
“Some say that we're reckless, they say we're much too young.
Tell us to stop before we've begun. We've got to hold out till graduation, try to hang on maxine.
While the world is sleeping, we meet at lincoln mall.
Talk about life, the meaning of it all.
Try to make sense of the suburban sprawl, try to hang on maxine.
Mexico City is like another world.
Nice this year they say. You'll be my senorita, in jeans and pearls.
But first let's get off this highway.
We'll move up to Manhattan, and fill the place with friends.
Drive to the coast and drive right back again.
One day we'll wake up, make love but 'til then
Try to hang on maxine. “
Have a great weekend.
