You, Night Rider, clearly unaffected by the state’s urgings to “yield” and, perhaps, “soft shoulder”. You are the Night Rider, sleeping in on a Tuesday, performing your masculinity in unshowered, unshaved machissmo. Night Rider, won’t you come to your senses? Nobody enjoys maniacal laughter anymore. It makes us think of **** covered in fleas, bedbugs, whiskey **** or Janis, and the last moments of an American Saigon. Ahh… Night Rider, we share your machine lust, your fetish, your hard-on for the muscle-bitch, the suped-up hot rod, the last of the V-8 Interceptors (1973 Australian Ford XB Falcon GT). We, too, like a nitrous kit, a roof and tail spoiler, we likes our flat black: ………....................our murderous speed ………..........................has driven daddy to drinkin’. We ride! Night Rider, we understand. We get the lurid infatuation, but, **** yer a hick-weed, all these roads lead to jail –how have you not grasped this simple truth? The highway is not freedom, but a circular slave song. Oh, rider of the night, why all the re-runs of Seinfeld? And cheese bread? You’ve grown a belly, N.R., and while it might be glam to be young, dumb and full of *** or all muscle in butt-less chaps at 21, you’re 45, Night Rider, and no-one cares anymore about your straight-line revolution, about your road to freedom, about it, about what kind of future you and Floosie would’a made. The kids are alright but they ain’t never heard of you nor your last, wild-eyed flight. As the Lord Humungous has indicated, no one gets out alive.
