10-4 big man what’s your 20?
“What’s the Frequency,
Kenneth?”
That is the first time I saw this picture. When Convoy came to the cinema I watched it two times in a row and it was good.
Good memories of a different time.
Global muslim terrorism wasn’t really a thing...everyone didn’t have a nose buried in their cell phones, people smoked cigarettes without a blindfold and a firing squad...well, I didn’t smoke so I don’t really miss that...:)
Different times.
How many songs do they base a movie on?
Good memories of a different time.
Ended up a theology professor.
The Road Not Taken-—Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses.
I don’t smoke, but I can’t stand virtue signalers. Espescially those against smoking and for pot.
I am still thinking about the Convoy. You know Kris said the girl doesn’t wear panties. So what was she wearing? People want to know!
I like Pete Droge. He puts humor into these things. Sad that he never made it to the top.

Never heard of him, but that’s a cool song and video!
“Good memories of a different time.”
The whole “Convoy” thing was a result of the 55 MPH speed limit. Which was a fabulous feature of the glorious energy crisis.
Who can forget having an Odd Car and and Even Car so you could wait in the gas line every day?
Kids today don’t know what they’re missing.
And we STILL had the Carter Years in front of us, and Energy Crisis II.
Awesome!
For years I thought this was a Johnny Cash-related song.
If you read the history of the bloke that put Convoy together, you’ll be surprised. And danged if it isn’t a great classic song.
That is really excellent. I hope they toured with “The Rev.” somewhere in history.
Here’s another take on the hated double-nickel...
Sammy Hagar-I Can’t Drive 55

That isn’t the real set of lyrics. Found the right one:

You young folks probably don’t know the original lyrics.
“Eleven long haired friends of Jesus in a chartreuse micro bus.”
