So I guess this question is going to come up at some point or another (because it always does and it’s pretty annoying and I can’t be any more passive aggressive about it): what does Have Love Will Travel mean? Is it a literal German translation of something? Is it a meaningful phrase taken out of a philosopher’s quote book? Is it gibberish?

Seriously, I don’t know. If I had to pick I’d say it’s coked up acid gibberish. But hey, at least I didn’t make it up! In fact, it’s the title of a pretty cool song, called – wait for it – “Have Love Will Travel” by Richard Berry. Actually, The Black Keys have covered it a while back  (it was originally released in 1959).  The song is only great performed by The Sonics, though. And when I think about rock’n'roll road trips in the desert, this is the soundtrack I want playing in the background while me and Prince Charming elope into a rich world of dreams…

Whatever. Here it goes:
