Via Mona Makhlouf, somewhere in the Sinai…

Above: Mona was on her way back from Sharm-el-Sheikh and saw this truck somewhere on the Sinai road. Like all right thinking people, Sameh must like both kinds of music, country and western. Har. (See below.)

Yalla Yalla Sameh!
Shokran Mona!

Above: Roger Miller’s classic, King of the Road. A must see, incredible video - somehow perfectly appropriate for this beautiful Egyptian aesthetic. And what a dancer! Har. Sing-along lyrics below.

Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let…fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets… I ain’t got no cigarettes.
Ah, but..two hours of pushin’ broom, buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means… King of the road.

Third boxcar, midnight train, destination…Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out clothes and shoes, I don’t pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found, short, but not too big around
I’m a man of means by no means, King of the road.

I know every engineer on every train… All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town, and every lock that ain’t locked
When no one’s around.

I sing, trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets… I ain’t got no cigarettes.
Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom, buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means, King of the road.
