We are in Iowa City currently, which is about half-way there. Yesterday there was a tornado warning and a big storm. Roughly 8 inches/hour was falling and the most beautiful lightning I've ever seen. Today we are picking up Bobby Hardage (Blog name: mark twain) who has been gutting flooded houses in Cedar Rapids with a volunteer organization. We are taking him to Toronto because he wanted to see Toronto.
When traveling across the country you have got to have a good ipod playlist. For Wyoming we had lots of James McMurtry and Sonic Youth. Nebraska: Bruce Springstein and alt country. Iowa is Willie Nelson country. Next up is Illinois, which should be based on Chicago blues. We drive a bit through Indiana and head to Michigan, which seem to me to be good states for Rock and Roll. After that, we have selected a bunch of Canadian bands, like Arcade Fire and Bran Van 3000, both based in Montreal.
