The Whining Stranger's Song of the Day

11 June 2006



"Truckin'" by The Grateful Dead (from the album American Beauty, 1970)

In honor of the start of an epic road trip tomorrow, a highway anthem from the Grateful Dead. Songs that list geographical sites, with catchy choruses, are as essential as salty snacks and a road atlas when you spend long hours behind the wheel.

I once made up a silly song to this, called "Chuck It". "Chuck it, In the garbage can.." and now whenever I hear the real song, I can't get my silly one out of my head!

Way to mess with the Dead, dude!

It's one thing to rewrite Jimmy Buffett, but the Dead!
