In 1994, WW2 veteran Alvin Straight, who lived in Laurens, Iowa, drove a 1966 John Deere 110 lawn tractor the 240 miles from Laurens to Mt. Zion, Wisconsin, to see his brother who he hadn’t had any contact with for years. In 1999, David Lynch made a movie about Alvin’s trip that starred Sissy Spacek and Richard Farnsworth. The soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti is a work of art. This has always been my favorite track.
