I met Chris Sand last year at a house party in Marfa, Texas. I must say that of all the rapping cowboys I know, The Sandman is by far my favorite. In all seriousness though, it took only one conversation for me to call him a friend. His itinerant lifestyle takes this truck driver/folk artist/rapper across the country from truck cab, to stage, to living room and back again. And like many who have lived their life on the road, Sand can talk to pretty much anyone about pretty much anything. I can only imagine the sights and sounds and stories that surface in a life on the road - a Jack Kerouac novel in the flesh. Now we can get a glimpse of this one-of-a-kind life on the big screen. Roll Out Cowboy documents Sandman The Rappin' Cowboy as he criss-crosses the country on a 2008 whirlwind tour. Too bad it wasn't a year later, I might have made a cameo appearance in the film!
