I think if my father was a truck driver, I would have wanted to share the beauty that was there. He just happens to be Johnny Cash.
Looking back, we had the hard time, but the privilege, of actually coming up playing biker bars and little bitty college bars.
There was great comraderie among players and coaches. We enjoyed the time we were together... road trips were fun. I don't know that there was one moment that stood out among all the good times we had.
It's not palm trees and neon signs in Florida; it's strip malls, highways, hot sun beating down on you.
I've done drives through Budapest and Oslo and used to drive to Sardinia, too, which is quite a journey. Drives are an adventure because I don't plan them too carefully. I take detours depending on how I feel and usually stop and stay at places I like the look of.
Back in Oakland, we have a lot of food in the locker room, but on the road, it's mostly just fruit. So we have to prepare differently. But really, once you get to the gym, everything on the road is pretty much the same.
I spend so much of my time on the road and traveling.
Getting up quite late in the morning, going and trying to clean my bikes - I have quite a few of them in Ranchi - spending some time with my family, my parents and friends. Going out for rides with my friends and having lunch or dinner at a roadside hotel - that's my favourite time-pass. These are the sort of things that really excite me.
I don't love being on the road.
I travel a lot and rarely make it home to Seattle.
My own passion for caravan holidays has been occasionally commented on by the media. It is certainly something that I am proud of.
Book tours and research provide a lot of travel - too much, I sometimes think, but we do take vacations.
Vehicles are just something I have always felt connected to whether it is the bus or the plane.
My wife's family lives up in South Carolina, so we go back and forth quite a bit up there.
It's hard to say exactly when it all started or what show it was, but I started touring when I was 11. I played all over Dallas and Fort Worth, and eventually I was touring the whole state.
If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would probably be Labor Day Weekend.
I don't really put cars in my videos because I'm always flying or on a tour bus.
I had a big troupe, a big army and it was a lot of fun. And, after 10 years of that, I just decided that I wanted to travel and do special dates. I go to Las Vegas these days.
Cindy had two kids. We did manage to keep playing and doing summer tours with the Go-Gos, the Pretenders, and Blondie.
When I was in my teen years and in my 20s and even 60s, it was okay to drop everything and disappear and become a road warrior for all those months. But after a while you get... y'know, one likes to have some home life.
I love being on tour; I love being on the road. It's the most amazing feeling ever. I live for it; I love it.
One of my favorite things about the D-League was going on the road and losing and not having to talk to anyone after the game.
I don't travel anywhere without the PS3 and XBox. There's nothing better to do on long bus trips while on tour.
I've hitchhiked - it is 'hitchhiked,' and not 'hitchedhike' like 'passersby,' right? - a couple of times, but only in emergency situations, and that's really the time that it's okay to hitchhike.
Growing up, I played in different bands and did a lot of self-booked touring and traveling around, and my sister was driving us on tour, and we're playing for nobody and literally begging my friends that I went to high school with to buy tickets to our shows.
