In mid 80's finally decided to make the big move to leave Boston. Checked a U.S, map to see how far away it was possible to get from Boston. On the map it was clear, San Diego was the furthest away. Quit my job, bought a new car,and John Mellencamp, Steve Winwood, and Creedence tapes.
Played them non-stop on the 2 week drive through New Orleans, Texas, across the Rockies, to San Diego. Best decision I ever made...
