La canción que nos convoca en esta jornada es "King of the Road", del tejano Roger Dean Miller. Pero en esta ocasión está interpretada por el tierno Rufus Wainwright, acompañado por Teddy Thompson. Es curioso: estos dos músicos son hijos de leyendas del folk (Rufus es hijo de Loudon Wainwright y Kate McGarrigle; Teddy de Richard y Linda Thompson, dos históricos del folk rock inglés).
Bueno, eso.
Disfrutad.
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let...fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but..two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.
Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination...bangor, maine.
Old worn out suit and shoes,
I don't pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.
I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked
When no one's around.
I sing,
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.
En el video aparecen Johnny Cash y Roger Millet. Se ríen, la pasan bien, están en vivo; están vivos. Después de tocar una canción cada uno, cortita, arrancan ambos con "King of the Road". Emocionante.
