Ridden Everywhere - Not All That Wander are Lost *Stanford Lee Show*

"I've been everywhere, man. I've been everywhere" Oh sorry. Wrong song.
This week on the Stanford Lee Show: What does Tolkein have to do with the cowboy spirit? Let me explain.

Wanderlust and the cowboy spirit

J.R.R. Tolkein, the famed author of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, once wrote "Not all that wander are lost" in his poem "The Riddle of Strider" found in The Fellowship of the Ring. I first read the quote while waiting in a travel office and it's kind of stuck with me ever since. It seemed to be a fitting quote for a company whose business model was based on sending people off to wander around the world. Today I think about the quote and realize that the idea of wandering is not just limited to people who want to book economy class airfare to various places around the world.

The classic cowboy: western shirt, weather worn jeans, and the iconic cowboy hat and boots. But the cowboy lifestyle is more than just a fashion statement. It's a draw away from civilization and into the open air. I think we all have a little bit of cowboy spirit somewhere in our hearts.

Join me this week while I talk about the cowboy spirit and the music that inspired my latest song, "Ridden Everywhere." Enjoy, and as always, if you like what you see, please subscribe and turn on your notifications so you don't miss any new episodes.
