"Yeah, it's a true story man..." All of these things happened exactly as described one hot summer of hitch hiking around the American southwest.
The tunes itself was actually crafted in Switzerland with Kali's friend Sven reading the words off of a sheet of paper while Kali worked out the groove. Sven has great English, but between some pronunciation problems and some illegibility, he occasionally asked a question or mis-read something. We had a cassette recorder running just for fun as we were housebound in a dark, cold, Swiss winter. Listening to the recording later, we decided that some of these ad lib's were funny so we included things like, "Hey what's that?" and "No - it was the Santa Fe" - Sven said, "Hey man, it's a true story" in one of the guitar breaks.
