I broke free on a Saturday morning
Put my pedal to the floor
Headed north on Mills Avenue
Listen to the engine roar
When I go on a road trip, music is essential. My mix for years has started with "This Year," partly because I always take off on Saturday mornings, partly because I've spent the last three years telling myself that I will make it this year if it kills me. I'm packed for a drive to Champaign today. I've got three half-full notebooks, a pack and a half of smokes, a well-used card deck, and a quote from Osip Mandelstam. And this is definitely the earliest I've ever woken up to go to a coffee shop.
Rock the place.
