back to L.A.
1975
01:51:36.336 --> 01:51:39.327
U.S. Interstate 15.
1976
01:51:39.407 --> 01:51:43.338
Just a flat out high-speed burn
through Baker and Barstow and Berdoo.
1977
01:51:43.408 --> 01:51:46.009
Then onto the Hollywood Freeway,
straight into frantic oblivion...
1978
01:51:46.079 --> 01:51:48.380
safety, obscurity.
1979
01:51:48.450 --> 01:51:51.611
Just another freak...
in the freak kingdom.
1979
01:51:52.305 --> 01:51:58.684
