- Austin >>> Riding around town with Cliff Antone. Sharing the stage with Billy Gibbons at an awards thing. Living way over the edge. Having to move to Vegas to calm things down. Humidity. The implicit guarantee of an SRV song on the radio or being played at the airport at all times. Coeds.

- San Jose >>> Excited relaxation. It was so new to me, you could have replaced it with Pensacola and I'd still be pants-wet over finally arriving.

- Atlanta >>> Unfortunately, I think exclusively of Gangster Rappers.

- Denver >>> Arrogance. I can't get past the arrogance.

- Philadelphia >>> Pictures from Social Studies books. Horrible, horrible food. Men who have never shaved below their nose in their entire lives.

- Detroit >>> This city, like Baltimore, has zero redeeming value. Negative people from a terrible place.
Where are these concrete roads in San Antonio?
