My 100 Favorite Songs: #84

The Doors - L.A. Woman

On July 4, 2007, my friend Nate and I woke up in Ice Lake Basin and packed out down to Silverton, CO. We watched a parade, I dropped Nate off in Durango, and then I drove ten hours on desert back roads from Durango to Las Vegas to go play the WSOP Main Event. I will never forget listening to Jim Morrison bellow Mojo Rising at the climax of that drive while watching the fireworks explode over Las Vegas on the way down the hill from the Hoover Dam.
