about

For three years, from 2002 until 2004, Brian went to a film festival in Gregory, South Dakota, in honor of pioneer African American filmmaker Oscar Micheaux, who had a plot of land on what was once the Rosebud Indian Reservation. He made over forty films and self-published several novels. Gregory is about half-way between Vermillion and the Black Hills, a four or five hour drive from Omaha. Every time Brian did that drive, he heard “30 Days in the Hole” by Humble Pie (Steve Marriott on vocals) on the car radio. Brian also credits his love of Glen Campbell to those solitary road trips.

lyrics

I’m riding
to the Black Hills
all the way from Omaha
I got your picture
in my pocket
and like a lamp that’s been switched on
I’m left to burn
I’ve got a lot left to learn

(chorus)
so won’t you take me
to the ghost town?
it’s just us
there’ll be no one else around
keep driving
to the daylight
and leave your troubles to the July sun

sunflowers
in my rearview
rows and rows and rows and rows
I hear your voice
are you calling?
no it’s only the radio
steve singing
“thirty days in the hole”

(chorus)

turn around
I’m leaving
I’ve got it all written down
all the highways
and all the rivers
all the engines in the sun
I’ll call you
I’ll send a card direct from the sun

(chorus)
