Car rideLOCATION: Car , Ste. Genevieve, MOYEAR: 1993TAGS: mississippi, river, carPUBLISHED: June 19, 2008I remember it was 1993 because of the flood. We were leaving the vast parking lot that used to be my playground, but was now being used to fill burlap sacks with sand. I was only 8 years old so I filled a few bags, but didn't really grasp the gravity of the situation. My hometown was being swallowed up by the Mississippi River. After a long summer afternoon of dodging forklifts with pallets, i rode in the back of my mom's new Ford Thunderbird listening to the radio. "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" played. I must have heard it before because my mom and I sang along. Loudly. I asked her who it was and she said "The Clash." The band name seemed weird to me at the time, but I think that was my introduction and bildungsroman into the world of punk. I've never looked back.
