"Going down that long, lonsome highway...                (Aug 2021) 
Gonna, live life my way..."                   This show is a relatively
                                              early example of the           
A very sixties TV show: like a                "slice of life" style,        
more loosely structured version               where often nothing much       
of _The Fugitive_, in which                   happens, but that's okay.       
Michael Parks plays a dropout, a                                          
drifter, who rides across the                 
country on his motorcycle.  A          For a James Dean clone,        
repeated theme: people react           he was pretty cool.    
weirdly to him because he's on a       Sometimes he was the               
motorcycle (Hell's Angels              avatar of cool.        
fantasies), but he's actually                             
very soft-spoken, very polite.                       Something like Mickey
                                                     Rourke, I guess.
Anyway, I thought it was great back then.    
                                                
I figured I couldn't carry enough books         
on a motorcycle, though, so I tired to           (A very 70s notion, that.)
figure out how I could squeeze my life       
into a van.                                       Never did quite make it.
                                                  Though I live in a room
                                                  not much bigger than a van.
                                           
                                                                  CAVE
