Two months before the US Presidential election, John Harris and Robbie Brechin are hiring a ragtop with boom boom sound system to take a 1000-mile road trip through the heartland of the former Confederacy, starting in Atlanta, Georgia, on September 20 and hopefully arriving in Dallas, Texas, two weeks later. Along the route, they are plan to listen to some great music from Nashiville and New Orleans, ask a lot of folk how they feel about the world, the war and the prospect of the Union's first black president. John and Robbie are also looking for Australians along the way - running bars, restaurants, nightclubs and interesting small businesses - to get an outsider's inside view of the US election. If you know of any great people or places to visit, please email details to John at jharris@impress.com.au .We'll keep you posted on our progress.
