Pilgrimsfærd i en familiecontainer
”Met him one night in the lobby, the Las Vegas hotel He was standing as close as I'm standing next to you now He'd call me by name and I felt like it changed me somehow, yeah Into someone important and special, I know it sounds strange But I swear that it's true It was Elvis And me, me and El We were just like kids, and we got on so well We were laughing and talking as nice as could be” (Jimmy Webb – ”Elvis and me”) Min indre pilgrimsfærd foregår på amerikanske highways i en klassisk convertible. Solen steger fra en skyfri himmel. ”The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar” . Undervejs vil jeg holde ind på diverse dovne diners og drikke ”a damn fine cup of coffee”, hvor jeg kan sige ”fill her up” til tankpasseren, der fylder min Eldorado eller Mustang med de gallons, der skal til. Jeg vil betale med krøllede dollarsedler, og jeg vil sikkert springe op i bilen uden at åbne døren først, når jeg skal videre. Ud på den åbne vej.
