Is he famous?
Have you ever heard of
John Edward Marinville?
No.
Well, he's famous
amongst book people, I guess.
Yeah, I pretty much
stick with Dean Koontz.
Is he cool?
Is he cool? Yeah...
you know, once you
get past the ego...
which is like,
the size of Tibet.
Yeah, I mean, he gets cranky
every so often, but I like him...
you know.
People drive across
country everyday.
Why is he writing
a book about it?
Ah, well, it's like he's got
You know, the guy's 60 years old.
He's been everywhere,
he's done everyone, you know.
The guy rides a big
Harley soft tail.
Hey, hey! Is his bike
red and cream?
Yeah, red and cream.
I think I saw him
this morning!
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you probably did.
Lookin' all handsome
on his bike.
Handsome man, yeah!
Yeah, and he knows
it, too, believe me.
Well, he's got
to be what...
like, 50, 70 miles ahead of you.
Yeah, about that.
You know, I catch up to him
when he has a gig...
And I set up the sound systems
for him...
And I, you know...
Make sure he's got
the names straight, stuff like that.
And I'll have dinner with him
if he wants somebody to talk to.
Not with, to.
But the guy's having the time
of his life.
Yeah, he likes to play

Water in the desert.
Thank you, Lord.
You want to
come up here, sir?
I think we need
to have a talk.
Afternoon, officer.
A wise man once told me...

in your pants.
Sir. Are you aware

on a state road

And that relieving
yourself in public...
is also against the law?
Well, I didn't see any crowd
gathering to watch me, so...
Sir.
Yeah. Well,
listen, you can...
write me up
if you have to...
and I will take it with a smile
and apologize...
if that will
improve your day.
I'm not gonna
write you up, sir.
Just a warning
will do this time, but...
What?
Something wrong?
Holy God.
Holy God!
You're John Edward Marinville,
aren't you?
- Oh, I...
- Damn!
I'm busted.
You got me again.
Damn!
Glad to meet you.
I am shaking hands
With the guy who wrote Delight!
Yeah.
With the guy who wrote
Song of the Hammer!

- This is...
Wow!
What are you
doing out here?
And on such an unsafe
mode of transportation?
I mean, they don't
call them murder-cycles for nothin'...
and I'm a wolf.
Are you workin'
on anything new, sir?
Yeah, a book of essays.
I thought I'd cycle
across America...
and get in touch
with the common folk.
You know,
