For our last leg of the trip, we will most likely return to Indy via I-65 which runs through Tennessee. If so, we definitely will stop in Franklin. Why Franklin? Believe it or not, it’s where Miley, Hayley, and Taylor live. Yes. All three.





My wife said “Maybe you’ll get to meet your ‘girlfriends’ at last.”

However many people from the music business live there. It’s a pretty nice place. Has a lot of history. And is
very upscale. I’ve been there before.
Once with my “ex” when we visited the Corvette factory in Bowling Green, Kentucky. We drove down to see Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry. (Me? The “metalhead”?) and then someone suggested we visit Franklin. Another time I was by myself on the “old” Harley traveling to a motorcycle rally in Florida. Stopped and walked around downtown and saw the Civil War monument. Stayed in a nearby motel. And finally, three years ago, my current wife and I stopped to eat there coming back from Florida. Went to dinner and walked around downtown Franklin like an idiot wearing my Colts hat and “Andrew Luck” #12 jersey. Sorry, wasn’t thinking.

Nobody said anything. You were all very polite.
Especially we wanted to see where the video for Paramore’s “Ain’t it Fun” was shot. And the road where the band posed years ago before the release of “Brand New Eyes.” The road I think I can find. It’s a popular place for fans to have their picture taken. The bridge where they smashed clocks is also a popular fansite but I don’t know where it is, yet.
If you aren’t from the US, Interstate 65 runs from Chicago all the way down to Mobile, Alabama. Zionsville, where I live, is right off Exit 130 in Indiana.
Hope you enjoy these latest pictures of Hayley. She hasn’t made an appearance in this thread for a while. All pictures are from the “After Laughter” era to the present. The collage is from a “Good Dye Young” commercial (Hayley's hair dye company. My wife uses it.)
(This coming week brings a drive from San Francisco all the way to San Diego. Stopping along the way in Los Angeles to visit relatives. We will park someplace, “disconnect,” and take either the “new” Harley
or the truck along the Pacific Coast highway. Northern California is a part of the country I’ve never seen. Don’t think they would even allow a 45’ long 5th wheel on “101.” BTW my wife is proving to be much better at this than me. She is very careful and thourough. We use a "pilots checklist" each time we leave from some place. She says I'm "too reckless." "You try to drive it like a f****** sports car, Andy." Although I did a good job of getting us through the Rockies. Maybe because I was scared shitless at first.
