A Salute to Roads, Streets and Avenues of All Types

Here are the ten clips for our montage dedicated to streets, roads and avenues: 1. Nat King Cole gets us started with Route 66. 2. Gloria Swanson as the doomed Nora Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. 3. U2 sings Where the Streets Have No Name. 4. Michael Douglas as Gordon Gecko in Wall Steet. 5. Bruce Springsteen sings 10th Avenue Freeze Out. 6. Michael Conrad offers his end-of-meeting statement on Hill Street Blues. 7. The opening theme, of course, from Sesame Street. 8. Part of the trailer from the original Nightmare on Elm Street. 9. Jack Kerouac reads from the last page of On the Road. 10. Willie is On the Road Again. Apologies to Bob Dylan’s Highway 61, the cast of Mulholland Drive, any number of other songwriters and Kraftwerk’s Autobahn (but then again, the German group was included in last week’s montage). Maybe next time.
