    Episode 3: All She's Had She's Wasted

    If you came of age in the late 1990s, Garbage was simply there—on the radio, looping on MTV after school, staring out from magazine covers in the checkout line. Shirley Manson moved through that landscape like a cool, slightly dangerous older sister: red hair, sharp cheekbones, a voice that could sound both bored and lethal in the same breath. She was the picture of detached Gen X cool. Thirty years on, the band that once felt so vibrant has begun to fade. Fame has a way of changing the temperature of a room. This is a story about the rise and demise of Garbage told from a long time fan’s perspective. So put on your seatbelt. The truck is packed. We have several miles to drive and a story to tell on the Endless American Road. Full essay: Get full access to Endless American Road at www.endlessamericanroad.com/subscribe

    Episode 1: My First American Road

    Notes from a week at my old Kentucky home Long before the open roads of the American West, there was a quieter road—from the house where I grew up to the family farm we’ve worked for forty years. After three years in the Arizona desert, a Kentucky summer feels like abundance: green fields, fireflies, aging parents becoming great-grandparents, and the quiet knowledge that only so many trips home remain. This episode is a full voice-over reading of the essay, animated on screen. A short return to the farm, the hunting cabin, target practice, a fish fry, and the part of me that will always live at the head of that holler.
