The day Stevie Ray Vaughan's guitar went silent is etched in my memory with the clarity of a desert highway at dawn. As Walter Gatlin, I invite you to ride shotgun with me through an emotional landscape painted with the blues of SRV's legacy and the raw reflections of that fateful August day back in 1990. We'll navigate the curves of a trucker's inner world, where music is both a companion and a milestone, marking the moments of our lives with the poignancy of a haunting solo.
Cruising further down the interstate of discourse, we shift gears to confront the contentious speed limits that govern our rigs and our lives. I'll lay down my seasoned take on California's 55 mph rule, dissecting the logic—or lack thereof—behind such constraints. We'll also tap into the unsung hero of the trucker's journey: the CB radio. This steadfast tool of trade isn't just for chatter; it's the pulse of the road, a conduit for camaraderie, and the lifeline that keeps us connected in an era where social media filters our voices. Join me for an episode that's as much about the ties that bind as it is about the open road ahead.
