Ed and the road trip

This is a story about a road trip I once took with Ed and some other stars. We decided to drive to Phoenix or rather Derek decided we would go to Phoenix. The group consisted of Boyd Madsen, John Baker, Derek Wessman, Myself and of course Ed Johnson. The others may have known about this trip in advance, but my warning was quite minimum. I have a hard time telling Derek no and when he threw in that we would be going to a dodgers game, i decided with the heart and not the brain.(like many of the wendover trips in the middle of the night even though I have to be to work at 8 in the morning). I am glad I went though and it has become a great memory. While we all spewed profanities and talked about who was doing what to whom's mother, (by the way I checked with my mom and they were all lies, that or my mom is a real lying whore but I'm pretty 100% sure its the first one) when all of the sudden Ed got real excited and screamed "its the theme song to my marriage" and then turned the radio up to deafness level and began to sing along to the Starship song "Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now". I think that's what it's called maybe someone can clarify.

Later on the trip we drove onto the Indian reservation. Ed started to fill us in on the history his people. General Custer couldn't have done a better job of making us think those Indians were worthless than Ed and his stories. Luckily and hopefully we all realized that the opinions shared were not the opinions of the Navajo tribe or its AA sponsors, and Ed had no written or oral consent for his tour. I don't think Ed meant to put his tribe down, I think he wanted us to know how hard life is on the res. Also you have got to remember Ed is clueless and in fact reminded us of that when he said "look as this crappy land they gave us". Derek politely reminded him that that was the land of his ancestors that they chose before they knew of the white man. On the way back I was working on a three liter of Shasta when I bored and littered it on the highway on the reservation. "You idiot! Ed yelled. You could get a fine on the reservation". I asked," Because we couldn't all those times in Arizona and Utah?" Ed didn't answer. In fact he stayed quiet for about an hour when he asked "Are we in Utah?" Someone answered"yea we have been in Utah for about 20min." Ed then grabbed a whole bag of garbage and hucked it out the window.My response was of course "you idiot you could get A fine for that."

To soften it up for Ed when I think of that trip we were all a bit out of control and immature, and I could have written about anyone of the participants on the trip. Like John going to Eve's Tease, but that wouldn't go with my theme here now would it. If anyone would like to add Ed stories go right ahead. I know he would appreciate it
