This drummer is do tight

Almost forgot how good these guys were, best I’ve heard them sound

I would happily pay for an update on the prison relationships 😅😅

Always wanted to travel across America when I was in my mid 20's (50 yrs of age now) but couldn't get a visa. Wanted to pretty much slum it in cheap places etc etc but would I do it in this day and age....... nooo fookin way lad!! Britain.

I'm a newcomer... He already passed when I started listening to him. I realized that even without knowing him, I was already missing him.

$32.83 is $81.95 now, depending on location that's either a good deal or overpriced.

excellent. Makes me wonder if the Dolly Parton film was based off this place... best little whore house in tx? Anyone know?

You can live in the motel make it cozy home. ❤

Everything about this video and everything about this song is amazing. Thank you Jason. I wish I could see you and tell how much you and your music mean to me. I just want to cry but I can’t …

Motels are a true American nostalgia

That was bad ass

Just discovering this in 2024. Very real and watched it all with interest, shes right, the justice system isn't just

Music at 30 mark sounds like Psycho flick..im late

That lady was a riot..in Albequerqa..fiesty

Looked up the Amargosa operahouse and it looks beautiful

The relationship between the reporter and cop at the start is funny as hell😂

! Soo fucking gooooooooood !!!!!!!!

I was there!

Remember the Cecil Hotel.

The Opera House section from 57:22 is particularly magical.

The vast amounts of art that Marta Becket created in her opera house looks incredible. What a talent. I hope its still there and will be preserved!

Creepy creepy!

Amazing that all these places still exist (with one having a name change) in 2024. I would never have thought they would all still be here.

Not going to lie. The drive-inn theater/motel was a brilliant idea.

Jesus Christ that intro was annoying af

I lived in hotels from 1674 to 2022

I just realised that the word Motel might have come from the words Mo(torway Ho)tel... because they are on motorways - highways 😊

I was gonna watch the documentary but everyone in the comments gas documentary worthy stories as well

People are fascinating - these snapshots are exceptional. Great doc! 🍿💖✨

🖤

9:20

"I love 80's vintage" says the gen-x'er

This is an example of a “perfect “ song

Grandman would drop a cracka in a heartbeatb😂

I can't quite get a handle on what's going on with Helen's head ...

Scalp an Indian like a white man would? Not that smart in history!

The comments are some of the most interesting I've ever seen.

Greed has become rampant , or maybe more obvious. This was fun and depressing. ❤

Time capsule

Anyone else wondering how this got on your feed? Terrified or grateful I’m not sure yet. Definitely before 1989 though

Mexico is so corrupt there aren't even even words. At least they have to hide it in the United States

The ladies discussing breaking INTO the prison is both touching and hilarious.

Amargosa Opera House footage, wow!

I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel

Motels. Wow.. My parents were young and use to like to stay at one particular motel in Daytona Beach Florida called Surf and Sand. Or something like that. They liked to stay in nice luxury hotels, but every time we went to Florida on a trip, we spent at least some time at The Sand and Surf in Daytona on the beach. I would LOVE to go back there, for nostalgia, and for memories of my parents who died a month apart in 2015. Then my boyfriend/ soulmate's parents became my second parents. We lived in California, but coincidentally, they lived in Florida! He would never take me to Daytona when we went to visit his parents. Then one day, his mom ( my second mom) died and his dad died two days later. I lost two sets of parents suddenly. I want to go to that motel! :)

I love documentaries like this. They are like a snapshot into the past, and maybe even the people are long gone. Just living simple life before I was born in a totally different world.

I was 15 in 1989. What a time to be alive. Thanks for uploading
