Jean Caffeine’s All-Nite Truckstop Liner notes
by Ed Ward
A dark and stormy night. A trucker comes back into the truck stop he’s just left. “Look what somebody left on my front seat”. He tells the astonished waitress. It’s a baby: a girl. “Can you take her, ma’am” he asks. “I can’t have passengers.” The waitress agrees to take the child until her mother can be found. Days pass. Weeks. No one every claims the little girl and she grows up at the truck stop , filling trucker’s coffee cups and playing the jukebox with her tips. The years pass and she becomes a teenager. She stops singing along with Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn. She becomes rebellious and one day she runs away. In San Francisco she becomes a punk-rocker. Then off to New York where she joins Pulsallama with Anne Magnusun, Wendy Wild other girls and becomes momentarily famous. But something is missing, and one lonely midnight she realizes what it is. On a highway headed west, an old bus picks her up hitchhiking. A country band has lost it’s girl singer, a girl singer has found her band.
Another dark and stormy night. The door of the truck stop flies open. “Mom!” she shouts. “I’m Back!” Before long, they’ve taken the stage in the lounge. The waitress draws close to the door. Parts of it sound familiar, but the jukebox never sounded like this!
