When I started this project called "On the Road: A Search For an American Character" with my tape recorder, I thought that I was going to go around America and find it in all its aspects -- bull riders, cowboys, pig farmers, drum majorettes -- but I sort of got tripped on race relations, because my first big show was a show about a race riot.
当我开始这项计划时 叫做“在路上：寻找美国符号” 以我的录音机为工具，我以为我要走遍整个美国 探索形形色色的人物--骑牛者、牛仔、养猪农， 乐队领队--不过在种族关系上我遇到了点麻烦， 因为我的首次演出是关于种族暴乱的。
