Well I've never been to Spain, but I kinda like the music ...

[11 Bravo]

Holy CRAP! I'm qualified to be Secretary of State in a Trump administration!

Of course, this post is useless, without a nod to the great Three Dog Night.

[Iggo]

1. Yeah, but have you been to Oklahoma?

[11 Bravo]

6. They tell me I was born there, but I really don't remember.

(Truthfully, I wasn't, but my Dad was.)

[Shrike47]

2. The great Hoyt Axton.

Listening made me smile, made me smile...

[tonyt53]

3. I've never been to Spain, but I hear that it rains mainly on the plains.

I have been to Oklahoma. Couldn't get out fast enough.

4. It's one big shambala, I tell ya

[spanone]

21. mama told me not to....go

[pinboy3niner]

5. Do you know the way to San Jose? nt

[11 Bravo]

9. Oh yeah. One day I'm going back to find some peace of mind.

(We're old, my brother!)

[pinboy3niner]

12. Ah, but I was so much older then; I'm younger than that now

[Hekate]

25. LA is a great big freeway...and all the stars that never were

...are parking cars and pumping gas

[pokerfan]

7. Well, I headed for Las Vegas...

Only made it out to Needles.

[pinboy3niner]

8. Well...

[11 Bravo]

18. I was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert ...

when the drugs began to take hold.

[pokerfan]

19. No point mentioning those bats, I thought.

The poor bastard will see them soon enough.

[11 Bravo]

20. It was almost noon, and we still had more than 100 miles to go.

They would be tough miles.

[pokerfan]

22. The sporting editors had also given me $300 in cash,

most of which was already spent on extremely dangerous drugs. The trunk of the car looked like a mobile police narcotics lab. We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers . . . and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.

23. DAMN, I love that book!

I would say RIP, Doctor, but fuck that! "Peace" was not his natural milieu, and wherever he is, he's sure to be raising a king-hell ruckus.

[pokerfan]

24. I didn't bother with the film

Didn't want it to mess with my memories of the book.

[11 Bravo]

28. Same here. Who the Hell could do Hunter justice?

Answer: Nobody.

10. Joining Team Trump must feel like being stuck in Lodi again

[jberryhill]

11. I went to Winslow, Arizona just to stand on a corner. No shit.

I failed to see a girl in a flatbed Ford and, in fact, no one slowed down to take a look at me.

Needless to say, I found it disappointing. But I did get out to Meteor Crater.

[pinboy3niner]

16. Been there, done that

The crater thing, anyway.

Also witnessed a horrendous head-on crash on the interstate just outside Winslow. Work zone, poor signage, which I would expect was an issue in the eventual litigation (there were multiple fatalities).

You can do a road trip with the family and the aunt and the dog and meet a hot lady driving a car...



...but if I were you, I wouldn't eat the sandwiches.

[GreenEyedLefty]

13. I've never been to England but I kinda like the Beatles?

[pinboy3niner]

14. Rain gray town, known for its sound

[pinboy3niner]

15. I, for one, am offended by this constant manSpaining

[pinboy3niner]

17. Hate to deflate your bubble, but to Trump Jeremiah also qualifies

[Hekate]

27. Never understood a single word he said

But I helped him drink his Trump wine. It was disgusting. Sad.

A drunk sad bullfrog is kinda jumpy.

[Croney]

26. I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
